THE AGREEMENTFOR THE ENGAGEMENT

5. On or about October 17 2015, Greg Pedersen of Monster spoke by telephone with

Rob Kern from Journey's tour/production management team and agreed that Monster would hire

Journey to perform at CES in Las Vegas on January 7 2016. Kern then corresponded by email

with Pedersen, also copying at Pedersen's request Neal Schon, Journey's manager, John Baruck,

and Journey's agent at Creative Artists Agency ( CAA ), Jeffrey Azoff, to discuss the

engagement and the contract in more detail before we dive into the production and show advance.

6. On October 19 2015, Pederson and Azoff further discussed the engagement, and

then Pederson emailed Azoff advising him, inter alia that Thad Wharton of Broken Arrow Music

Marketing Events on behalf of Monster would send Azoff an offer sheet, to which Azoff

responded: I don 't think I need an offer sheet I can just draft a contract based off everything we

discussed. Wharton replied that he would like to go ahead and send something quick over to

you guys - there are a few odds ends with this show that I can cover that we may want to

3 7. On October 20, 2015, Wharton sent an email to Azoff attaching an offer letter, a

4 ; rue and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.

5 Wharton's email states: Here is an official offer for Journey, with all the other major details

6 included for this show. The attached letter offer sets forth all material terms of the agreement for

20 have the funds that they had planned on having to go forward with the show. Pedersen advised

21 Azoff in that call that Monster would not go forward with the show and would not pay Journey the

22 $500,000.00 guarantee. Instead, all that Pederson offered Azoffwas Monster's apologies.

23 13. Since on and after November 17,2015, Monster has failed and refused to cure its

24 breach or to pay Journey the $500,000.00 guarantee for the January 7, 2016, engagement.
