<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">On October&nbsp;17, 2013, Gaiam Americas, Inc. (&#147;<U>Americas</U>&#148;), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gaiam, Inc. (&#147;Gaiam&#148;),
entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the &#147;<U>Purchase Agreement</U>&#148;) with Cinedigm Entertainment Holdings, LLC (&#147;<U>Buyer</U>&#148;). Gaiam is a also a party to the Purchase Agreement for certain limited purposes,
such as certain indemnification obligations. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Americas agreed to sell all of the equity interests in GVE Newco, LLC (&#147;<U>GVE</U>&#148;), its wholly-owned subsidiary, to Buyer. Before closing the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Americas and its wholly-owned subsidiary, VE Newco, LLC (&#147;<U>VE</U>&#148;) agreed to contribute the assets that constitute the non-branded entertainment media distribution business of Americas and VE (the
&#147;<U>Business</U>&#148;) to GVE, and GVE agreed to assume certain related liabilities, pursuant to a contribution agreement (the &#147;<U>Contribution Agreement</U>&#148;). Under the Purchase Agreement, Buyer agreed to pay Americas $47.5 million
in cash, transfer 666,978 shares of Cinedigm Corp.&#146;s unregistered and restricted Class&nbsp;A common stock to Americas, assign $2 million of accounts receivable to Americas and assume a $1 million payment obligation of Americas. The purchase
price is subject to a post-closing adjustment based upon the amount by which the closing working capital of GVE exceeds or falls short of a working capital target. If the closing working capital exceeds the working capital target, Buyer agreed to
pay the adjustment amount in cash on April&nbsp;15, 2014. If the working capital target exceeds the closing working capital, Seller agreed to pay the adjustment amount within two business days of the final determination thereof. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The Business principally consists of acquiring rights to, and distributing entertainment content through, home video, digital and television
distribution channels. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties that Americas and Buyer made to each
other. The statements in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties exchanged in connection with signing the Purchase Agreement. While Gaiam does not believe that the
schedules contain information securities laws require us to publicly disclose other than information that has already been so disclosed, the disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the
representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the representations and warranties should not be relied upon as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they are modified in important part by the
underlying disclosure schedules. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in
our public disclosures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The Purchase Agreement also contains covenants and indemnities customary for agreements of this nature. Americas
has agreed to a five-year non-solicitation covenant with respect to the parties to the agreements contributed to GVE, a two-year non-solicitation covenant with respect to certain employees, and a five-year non-competition covenant with respect to
the distribution or sale of certain video content (subject to specified exceptions) in the United States and Canada. In addition, if Americas proposes to distribute certain video content via third party distribution in the United States during the
two-year period following the closing, Americas must first offer the opportunity to Buyer but may pursue third party distribution if Americas and Buyer are unable to reach an agreement. </P>

Item 1.01.  Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement.
On October 17, 2013, Gaiam Americas, Inc. ("
Americas
"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gaiam, Inc. ("Gaiam"),
entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "
Purchase Agreement
") with Cinedigm Entertainment Holdings, LLC ("
Buyer
"). Gaiam is a also a party to the Purchase Agreement for certain limited purposes,
such as certain indemnification obligations. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Americas agreed to sell all of the equity interests in GVE Newco, LLC ("
GVE
"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, to Buyer. Before closing the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Americas and its wholly-owned subsidiary, VE Newco, LLC ("
VE
") agreed to contribute the assets that constitute the non-branded entertainment media distribution business of Americas and VE (the
"
Business
") to GVE, and GVE agreed to assume certain related liabilities, pursuant to a contribution agreement (the "
Contribution Agreement
"). Under the Purchase Agreement, Buyer agreed to pay Americas $47.5 million
in cash, transfer 666,978 shares of Cinedigm Corp.'s unregistered and restricted Class A common stock to Americas, assign $2 million of accounts receivable to Americas and assume a $1 million payment obligation of Americas. The purchase
price is subject to a post-closing adjustment based upon the amount by which the closing working capital of GVE exceeds or falls short of a working capital target. If the closing working capital exceeds the working capital target, Buyer agreed to
pay the adjustment amount in cash on April 15, 2014. If the working capital target exceeds the closing working capital, Seller agreed to pay the adjustment amount within two business days of the final determination thereof.
The Business principally consists of acquiring rights to, and distributing entertainment content through, home video, digital and television
distribution channels.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties that Americas and Buyer made to each
other. The statements in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties exchanged in connection with signing the Purchase Agreement. While Gaiam does not believe that the
schedules contain information securities laws require us to publicly disclose other than information that has already been so disclosed, the disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the
representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the representations and warranties should not be relied upon as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they are modified in important part by the
underlying disclosure schedules. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in
our public disclosures.
The Purchase Agreement also contains covenants and indemnities customary for agreements of this nature. Americas
has agreed to a five-year non-solicitation covenant with respect to the parties to the agreements contributed to GVE, a two-year non-solicitation covenant with respect to certain employees, and a five-year non-competition covenant with respect to
the distribution or sale of certain video content (subject to specified exceptions) in the United States and Canada. In addition, if Americas proposes to distribute certain video content via third party distribution in the United States during the
two-year period following the closing, Americas must first offer the opportunity to Buyer but may pursue third party distribution if Americas and Buyer are unable to reach an agreement.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1.
A copy of Gaiam's press release announcing the signing of the Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 1.02.  Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 21, 2013 and in satisfaction of a condition to closing the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Americas, SPRI
Products, Inc., GT Direct, Inc. and VE, each of which is a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Gaiam (collectively, the "
Borrowers
"), paid in full the outstanding balance owed to its lender, PNC Bank, National Association
("
PNC
"), in the amount of $19,621,941 (inclusive of principal and interest and other fees) and terminated the underlying Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated July 31, 2012, between the Borrowers and PNC (the
"
Credit Agreement
"). The Credit Agreement permitted borrowings of up to $35 million based upon the collateral value of Borrower's eligible receivables and inventory less certain other amounts and reserves.
The Credit Agreement subjected the Borrowers to certain customary affirmative covenants and
customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Borrowers' ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, pay dividends, and merge. In addition, the Credit Agreement contained
customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, and covenant defaults. The Credit Agreement would have expired on July 30, 2015. Upon termination, PNC released all liens
granted in its favor on the collateral pledged under the Credit Agreement.
The Borrowers also paid an early termination fee in an amount equal to
$350,000.
Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
On October 21, 2013, Americas and VE consummated the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement by contributing the assets
that constitute the Business to GVE. Immediately thereafter, Americas consummated the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement by selling all of the equity interests in GVE to Buyer. Buyer paid to Americas $47.5 million in cash,
transferred 666,978 shares of Cinedigm Corp.'s Class A common stock to Americas, assigned $2 million of accounts receivable to Americas and assumed a $1 million payment obligation of Americas.
Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 21, 2013 in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreement, William S. Sondheim, President of Gaiam, accepted a position as the President of Cinedigm's Entertainment Group, effective October 21, 2013.
