Calculation of Filing Fee


Transaction valuation*		Amount of filing fee**

$17,484,778.65		$2,384.93

The calculation assumes the purchase of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (including associated preferred stock purchase rights) (the “ Shares ”), of MakeMusic Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), other than Shares owned by LaunchEquity Acquisition Partners, LLC Designated Series Education Partners, a designated series of a Delaware series limited liability company and its affiliates (collectively, “ LaunchEquity ”), at a purchase price of $4.85 per Share, net to the seller in cash. As of March 21, 2013, there were 4,906,707 Shares issued and outstanding, of which 1,362,829 issued and outstanding Shares are owned by LaunchEquity. In addition, all vested and unvested stock options, which represent 33,576 shares on a fully-diluted basis using the treasury stock method (none of which stock options are held by LaunchEquity), and rights of the former shareholders of Garritan Corporation to receive 27,655 Shares, are to be cashed out at the effective time of the Merger in exchange for the purchase price, in accordance with the Merger Agreement. As a result, this calculation assumes the purchase of 3,605,109 Shares.

**	The amount of the filing fee, is calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory # 1 for Fiscal Year 2013 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, by multiplying the transaction valuation by 0.0001364.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THIS TRANSACTION, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THIS TRANSACTION, OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS SCHEDULE 13E-3. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

INTRODUCTION

This Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (the “Schedule 13e-3” or the “Transaction Statement”) is filed by MakeMusic, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“MakeMusic” or the “Filing Person”). This Transaction Statement relates to the tender offer by LEAP Acquisition Corporation (“ Purchaser ”), a Minnesota corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of LaunchEquity Acquisition Partners, LLC Designated Series Education Partners, a designated series of a Delaware series limited liability company (“ Parent ”), which is a sponsored entity of LaunchEquity Partners, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“ Parent Sponsor ”) (Purchaser, Parent and Parent Sponsor collectively, “ LaunchEquity ”), to purchase all of MakeMusic’s outstanding Shares for $4.85 per Share, payable net to the seller in cash without interest thereon, less any applicable withholding taxes (the “ Offer Price ”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Purchaser’s Offer to Purchase, which was filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(i) to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement (collectively, as may be amended from time to time, the “ Schedule TO ”) and a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, which was filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(ii) to the Schedule TO and a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) (which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as amended or further supplemented from time to time, constitute the “ Offer ”). The Schedule TO was filed by Purchaser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 22, 2013.

This Transaction Statement also relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 12, 2013, among MakeMusic, Parent, Parent Sponsor and Purchaser (the “ Merger Agreement ”). The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that after consummation of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Merger, including, if required, a vote of MakeMusic’s Shareholders, Purchaser will be merged with and into MakeMusic (the “ Merger ”), with MakeMusic continuing as the surviving corporation (the “ Surviving Corporation ”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding Share (other than Shares owned by Parent, Purchaser, or their respective affiliates, and other than Shares as to which appraisal rights are perfected in accordance with applicable law) will be converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the Offer Price without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes.

Because LaunchEquity may be considered an affiliate of MakeMusic, the Offer and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may be considered as constituting a “going private” transaction under Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act. Rule 13e-3 requires, among other things, that certain financial information concerning MakeMusic and certain information relating to the fairness of the Offer, the Merger and the consideration offered to MakeMusic’s Shareholders in the Offer and the Merger be filed with the SEC and disclosed to the Shareholders prior to consummation of the Offer and the Merger. In addition, LaunchEquity may be required to, among other things, express its reasons for the transactions described in the Offer to Purchase, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(i) to Purchaser’s Schedule TO dated March 22, 2013, and LaunchEquity’s views as to the fairness of the transactions to MakeMusic’s unaffiliated shareholders. The Filing Person makes the statements in this Transaction Statement solely for the purpose of complying with the requirements of Rule 13e-3 and related rules under the Exchange Act.

Concurrent with the filing of this Transaction Statement, LaunchEquity is filing a Schedule TO in connection with the Offer and MakeMusic is filing a Schedule 14D-9 Solicitation/Recommendation Statement (as may be amended from time to time, the “ Schedule 14D-9 ”) in connection with the Offer. A copy of the Schedule 14D-9 is attached as Exhibit (a)(2)(A) to this Transaction Statement.
