and obligations under the Assumed Contracts, and (ii) pay the Cure Amounts, if any, pursuant to the

Development Agreements or Purchaser wrongfully fails to pay and assume the Cure Amounts, the Studio
shall be entitled to the immediate disbursement of such $87,000 for the purpose of first paying
such Cure Amounts and then paying any other Assumed Liabilities under the Assumed Development
Agreements.
ARTICLE 4. EXCLUDED LIABILITIES
Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser is not assuming and shall not assume, and
Purchaser shall not in any way be responsible for, any liabilities or obligations of any Seller or
any other liabilities or obligations whatsoever (whether known or unknown to any Seller) associated
with the Purchased Assets or with any other properties, rights, Contracts or other assets, without

The aggregate consideration due from Purchaser hereunder (the “Purchase Price”) shall consist

the Cure Amounts and the other Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser has heretofore delivered a Bank
Check in the amount of $100,000 payable to Blank Rome LLP, Attorney Escrow Account (the “Deposit”)
to the Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. At the Closing, the
parties shall instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver the Deposit to the Studio in payment of the cash
portion of the Purchase Price. If the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to Close have been
fulfilled and Purchaser fails to close within two Business Days after entry of the Sale Order or
such later date as the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to Close have been fulfilled, then the
full amount of the Deposit shall be forfeited by Purchaser and Sellers are authorized to deliver
the Deposit to the Studio as liquidated damages upon receipt of a written statement from Sellers to
that effect. If TNA objects to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and as a result
thereof the Sale Order is not entered, then Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit.

(d) The compliance certificate described in Section 10.2(a), duly executed by authorized
representatives of Sellers; and

of the sale of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement or otherwise assessed or
8
imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne and timely paid
by Purchaser.
6.5 Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Within two Business Days following the entry
of the Assumption Order and provided there is no Order to the contrary, Purchaser and Sellers shall
each execute and exchange an assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit C (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) and Purchaser shall pay the Cure Amounts at
such time or as otherwise directed in the Assumption Order. Purchaser shall be permitted to use
the $87,000 held in escrow under the Cure Amount Escrow Agreement first to pay any Cure Amounts in
full and thereafter to pay Assumed Liabilities under the Assumed Development Agreements when due.
The parties shall execute directions to the Escrow Agent to permit the appropriate payments. For
the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay any Assumed Liability before such
amount is due under the applicable Assumed Contract.

and 1334; and due notice of the Sale Hearing and the Sale Motion having been provided, and it
appearing that no other or further notice need be provided; and after due deliberation and
sufficient cause appearing therefor;
IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND DETERMINED:
A. The Court has jurisdiction to consider the Sale Motion and the relief requested therein

D. A reasonable opportunity to object or be heard with respect to the Sale Motion and the
relief requested therein has been afforded to all interested persons and entities, including, but
not limited to: (i) the Office of the United States Trustee (the “OUST”); (ii) the Creditors’
Committee; (iii) known persons holding a lien, claim, encumbrance or other interest in, to or
against any of the Purchased Assets; (iv) applicable federal, state and local taxing authorities;
(v) applicable federal, state and local governmental units; and (vi) all entities who have filed a
notice of appearance and request for service of papers in the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases pursuant to
Bankruptcy Rule 2002.
E. The Debtors have marketed the Purchased Assets diligently, in good faith and in a
commercially reasonable manner to secure the highest and/or best offer therefor. At the direction
of the Court, the Purchased Assets were the subject of a robust auction conducted over several
hours on August 18, 2009. The Purchase Agreement represents the highest and best offer for the
Purchased Assets.
F. The terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement: (i) are fair and reasonable, (ii)
valid, binding and enforceable, (iii) constitute the highest and best offer for the Purchased
Assets, (iv) will provide a greater recovery for the Sellers’ creditors than would be provided by
any other practical available alternative, (v) constitute reasonably equivalent value
3
and fair consideration for the Purchased Assets, and (vi) are in the best interests of the
Sellers, their bankruptcy estates, creditors, and all parties in interest. The Sale must be
approved and consummated promptly in order to maximize the value of the Sellers’ estates.
G. The Purchaser is a good faith purchaser in accordance with section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy
Code and, as such, is entitled to all of the protections afforded thereby.
H. The Purchaser has acknowledged that its entry into the Purchase Agreement constitutes the
definitive documentation contemplated by the Purchaser and Sellers at the August 19, 2009 Sale
Hearing, and that the Purchaser is satisfied with the Purchased Assets described in the Purchased
Agreement. The Purchaser has determined not to purchase any motion capture data from Sellers and
has acknowledged that it shall not have nor claim to have any right to any motion capture data as
against Sellers or THQ Inc. by reason of anything stated at the August 19, 2009 hearing or
otherwise.
I. Neither the Sellers nor the Purchaser has engaged in any conduct that would cause or permit
the application of section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code to the Sale, including having the Purchase
Agreement voided.
ACCORDINGLY, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS THAT:
1. The Sale Motion is granted as set forth herein.
2. Any objections to the Sale Motion or the relief requested therein that have not been
withdrawn, waived or settled, and all reservations of rights included therein, are overruled on the
merits. Parties who did not object, or who withdrew their objections to the Sale Motion, are
deemed to have consented pursuant to section 363(f)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
4
3. The Purchase Agreement and all of the terms and conditions contained therein are approved
and are binding upon the parties thereto.
4. The Debtors are authorized and directed, pursuant to sections 105(a) and 363(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code, to perform all of their obligations pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and to
execute such other documents and take such other actions as are reasonably necessary to effectuate
the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
5. The sale of the Purchased Assets, pursuant to this Order and the Purchase Agreement, will
vest the Purchaser with good title to the Purchased Assets and will be a legal, valid and effective
transfer of the Purchased Assets pursuant to sections 105, 363(b), and 363(f) of the Bankruptcy
Code, free and clear of all liens, claims, interests or other Encumbrances (collectively, “Liens”),
with all such Liens to attach to the net proceeds of sale of the Purchased Assets in the order of
their priority, and with the same validity, priority, force and effect which such holder has prior
to the sale of the Purchased Assets, subject to the rights, claims, defenses, and objections, if
any, of the Debtors and all parties in interest.
6. All persons or entities holding Liens in, to or against the Purchased Assets shall be, and
they hereby are, forever barred from asserting such Liens against Purchaser and its successors and
assigns, or against such Purchased Assets after Closing.
7. Subject to and conditioned on the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement, at the direction of the Purchaser, the Sellers will promptly prepare an appropriate
motion to assume and assign the Assumed Contracts (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to
Purchaser and to reject the TNA License on an expedited basis. Purchaser shall be responsible for
satisfying any necessary findings of adequate assurance of future performance under such Assumed
Contracts and for satisfying any cure amounts associated with the same.
5
Such motion will be served with appropriate notice as required under local bankruptcy rules
and scheduled for hearing at the earliest convenience of the Court. Purchaser assumes the risk
concerning approval of the relief requested in such motion.
8. The Purchase Agreement and any related agreements, documents or other instruments may be
modified, amended, or supplemented through a written document signed by the parties thereto in
accordance with the terms thereof without further order of the Court; provided,
however, that any such modification, amendment or supplement is neither material nor
changes the economic substance of the transactions contemplated hereby.
9. Until these cases are closed or dismissed, the Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction
(a) to enforce and implement the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement, all amendments
thereto, and any waivers and consents thereunder; (b) to compel the Sellers and the Purchaser to
perform all of their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement; (c) to resolve any
disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to the Purchase Agreement, including
with respect to Assumed Contracts; and (d) to interpret, implement and enforce the provisions of
this Order.
10. This Order shall be binding upon (i) the Debtors and their estates, (ii) all creditors of,
and holders of equity interests in, any Debtor, (iii) all holders of Liens against or on all or any
portion of the Purchased Assets, (iv) the Purchaser, and (v) all successors and assigns of any of
the foregoing, including any trustees that may be appointed in any of the Debtors’ bankruptcy
cases.
11. The failure to include any particular provision of the Purchase Agreement in this Order
shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of that provision, it being the intent of the Court
and the parties that the Purchase Agreement be approved and authorized in its entirety.
6
12. This Order constitutes a final order pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 158(a). As provided by
Bankruptcy Rule 7062, this Order shall be effective and enforceable immediately. The provisions of
Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h) staying the effectiveness of this Order for ten (10) days are hereby
waived. This Court has found that time is of the essence in closing the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement and the parties to the Purchase Agreement shall be authorized to close
the sale as soon as possible consistent with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
