"I am most pleased to write this recommendation.

I am a retired attorney at law licensed to practice in the State of New York. My practice was primarily in the area of music, records and artist management. I first came across Holly Lane in approximately 1984 when she was employed by Greenworld Distribution. Several of my clients had records distributed by Greenworld. To the extent I required information concerning my clients such as sales figures, how to contact them while on tour, information pertaining to records sold and/or distributed, current radio play, their scheduling and availability to accept newly offered engagements to perform I would call Holly. When I first met up with Holly she was a sales person. She did receive a promotion and she was appointed label manager. Holly always seemed to be the one person at Greenworld who was on top of everything and had all the information that should be available from a record distributor. Above all, Holly followed the industry and massively circulated. If I needed a contact in her areas, Holly would arrange an introduction.

In 1985 Cees Wessels, my client, opened up Roadrunner Records, Inc. I recommended Holly Lane to Cees. She was interviewed and hired as chief operating officer. During her tenure at Roadrunner Holly was always the first one in the office very morning and the person who turned off all the lights in the evening. From nothing Holly created a well functioning company and laid the base for what today is arguably the leading independent record label in the world operating in the area of heavy metal and hard rock. Holly continued to circulate in the music industries and she continued to build up a repertoire of people she knew in all areas of the music and record business.

In autumn of 1988 Steve Sinclair and I decided to open up Mechanic Records. We approached her and signed her on as vice president and general manager, shareholder and partner. Holly had previously advised Cees Wessels that she would be leaving. At it's zenith Mechanic Records had about 8 employees. Holly supervised the employees, opened the office in the morning, closed it at night. In approximately early 1995 Holly left Mechanic Records. The record industry was in one of its downturn periods and Mechanic has lost the ability to grow. Holly wanted to grow, and went on to run a successful label and distribution company. Sinclair and I shortly thereafter sold the company.

I gave you some of the detailed background to show I worked with Holly Lane and know the subject matter of this letter. Holly would be an extremely valuable asset to any employer in the entertainment industry. First, she would commence meeting and talking to people who had the possibility of being of future value in her work. Second, Holly has always been a very successful manager of people and usually while supervising her employee she rapidly learns to do her employee's work better and faster than her employee. Holly works extremely well when she works independently and is equally superb as a team player when part of a group. If need be Holly will take the bull by the horns and runs with the bull. Holly is one who rarely if ever does not achieve timely results when working with a deadline. She knows what a budget is and in my experience with her she always managed to work within the framework of the budget given to her.

To my mind a great Chief Operating Officer is a description of Holly Lane. I sincerely recommend her."
