Michael Eisner`s Vuguru and Rogers Media Strike Investment and Distribution Deal

Studio to Ramp Up Production to 30 Self-Financed Series Per Year
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Michael Eisner`s new media studio, Vuguru, has secured an investment and
distribution partnership with Canada`s Rogers Media, the two companies announced
today. Vuguru, which previously operated inside of The Tornante Company LLC,
will become a stand-alone entity as part of the deal, effective immediately.
Michael Eisner will serve as Chairman of the newly-formed company`s Board of
Directors. Rogers and Vuguru have also entered into a long-term distribution
agreement for the exclusive Canadian rights to future Vuguru projects.

The financial and distribution guarantee ensures that Vuguru will remain at the
forefront of the ever-evolving business of original new media content. To
maintain the steady growth and success that Vuguru has achieved since its
inception in late 2006, the company plans to significantly increase the number
of annual productions to 30 series a year, while it continues to work with brand
sponsors and distribution platforms to meet their programming goals. Vuguru will
also continue to seek out and leverage the international and ancillary
partnerships that have proven successful in delivering content to a wide
audience.

"This deal not only solidifies Vuguru`s position as a leader in the new media
landscape, but it also allows us to stay true to our creative and business
philosophy of owning and distributing high-quality, story-driven content," said
Michael Eisner. "Rogers is a world-class media organization and we are excited
about the opportunities this relationship presents for both companies."

"We are thrilled to partner with Michael Eisner`s Vuguru team, as they have a
proven track record of making hits and producing innovative, advertiser-friendly
new media content," said Claude Galipeau, Senior Vice President, Rogers Digital
Media. "Audiences are on the move, and we are following them across platforms
and dayparts. This partnership means we can program Vuguru series exclusively
for Rogers customers and advertisers across our unique range of channels,
including broadband web, mobile and cable VOD."

"This deal builds on the Rogers` legacy of innovation. Our company is always
looking to expand the content choices, regardless of platform, for our
customers," added Melinda Rogers, Senior Vice President, Strategy and
Development, Rogers Communications.

In the months ahead Vuguru will launch Prom Queen: The Homecoming, the next
installment in the hit Prom Queen franchise; The Booth at the End, a new
psychological thriller created by Internet-savvy writer Christopher Kubasik and
helmed by veteran television director Jessica Landaw; and Pretty Tough, an
adaptation of a successful young adult novel from accomplished television writer
and producer Liz Tigelaar. The 2010 slate is expected to include 10-15 new
series.

Launched by The Tornante Company in late 2006, Vuguru produces and distributes
innovative story-driven content for new media platforms. It has been a leader in
original online content since it released the 2007 smash success, Prom Queen.
Following the success of Prom Queen, Vuguru created The All-For-Nots, a scripted
mockumentary that followed the misadventures of an indie rock band as they
traveled across the U.S. on an ill-conceived and underfunded tour. In another
first for the Internet, Vuguru distributed the 300 minutes of content
simultaneously via the Internet, mobile phones and cable-TV. Vuguru next bridged
the worlds of publishing and new media by producing Foreign Body, a prequel
web-series released in advance of best-selling author Robin Cook`s latest novel.
Vuguru`s Sports Emmy-nominated series Back on Topps, the comedic story of two
brothers making their way in the sports world, was sold to Comedy Central and is
currently in development as a television pilot.
