LOS ANGELES, CA, JULY 10, 2006 - Vivendi Visual Entertainment (V V E) has
entered into a multi-year, multi-film distribution agreement with RuffNation
Films Releasing (R F R) to market and distribute its upcoming slate of home
entertainment product. The agreement was announced today by V V E General
Manager Tom O'Malley along with R F R CEO Chris Schwartz and President Rich
Murray.

Under the terms of the deal, R F R will deliver a minimum of five releases per
year. The first release is "Money, Power, Respect," directed by Jamal Hill, a
hard-hitting urban drama set in the gritty streets of Philadelphia about a young
hustler named Levi, who is conflicted by the competing influences of his mother
and girlfriend versus his criminal mentors. The next release, due in November is
the aptly-named documentary, "Death Before Dishonor" which explores the mantra
pervasive in urban culture, lashing out against "snitching." The film features
numerous hip-hop artists, while offering a glimpse into a disturbing reality.

"RuffNation is one of the most respected hip-hop brands in the music industry
and it's no surprise that the company's film division is proving to be a
formidable contender as well," said O'Malley. "We are thrilled to add RuffNation
to our growing roster of exceptional home entertainment companies."

"This relationship with Vivendi will allow us to significantly expand both our
production and release schedules, while reaching the widest possible audience,"
said Murray. "We're truly excited to be joining forces with one of world's
leading entertainment companies."
