     Section 3.3. Allocation of Tax Assets and Earnings & Profits.

(a)

Allocation of Tax Assets.

     In connection with any Deconsolidation Event, Distributing shall determine in accordance with applicable Tax Laws the allocation of any applicable Tax Assets among Distributing, each other Distributing Group Member, Controlled and each other Controlled Group Member. The Companies hereby agree that in the absence of controlling legal authority or unless otherwise provided under this Agreement, each Tax Asset shall be allocated to the Group Member who generated such Tax Asset (other than with respect to any Tax Asset created by reason of a contribution to the capital of Controlled by Distributing on or before the

Distribution Date, in which case Distributing shall be permitted to retain such Tax Asset). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Companies agree that the SFXE Loss is a Tax Asset of and shall be allocated to Distributing.

(b)

Section 4. Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.

     Section 4.1. Distributing’s Responsibility.

(a)

Distributing Filed Returns.

     Distributing shall have the exclusive obligation and right to prepare and file, or to cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns that include any Group Member if Distributing is responsible under this Agreement for any portion of the Taxes reported on such Tax Returns (“Distributing Filed Returns”), including (i) all Distributing Separate Returns, (ii) all Combined Tax Returns, (iii) all Controlled Separate Returns for which Distributing is responsible for any portion of any Federal Income Tax, State Income Tax or International Restructuring Tax reported on such Controlled Separate Return, and Distributing shall have the exclusive obligation and right to prepare and file, or to cause to be prepared and filed, all Adjustment Requests made with respect to Distributing Filed Returns. Controlled and Holdco #2 shall, and shall cause each other Controlled Group Member to, assist and cooperate with Distributing in accordance with Section 6 with respect to the preparation and filing of all Distributing Filed Returns, including providing information required to be provided in Section 6. In the case of any Distributing Filed Return which is required by applicable Tax Law to be signed by any Controlled Group Member (or by its authorized representative), Controlled and Holdco #2 shall cause such Controlled Group Member (or its authorized representative) to sign such Distributing Filed Tax Return.

(b)

Election to Join Combined Returns.

     Controlled and Holdco #2 shall cause each Controlled Group Member to elect and join in filing Combined Tax Returns with any Distributing Group Member that Distributing reasonably determines are required to be filed under applicable Tax Laws or will result in the minimization of the net present value of the aggregate Tax to the Group Members eligible to join in such Combined Tax Returns.

(c)

Appointment as Agent.

     Each of Controlled and Holdco #2 hereby irrevocably designates, and agrees to cause each other Controlled Group Member to so designate, Distributing as its sole and exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to take such action (including execution of documents) as Distributing, in its

sole discretion, may deem appropriate in any and all matters (including Tax Contests) relating to any Combined Tax Return.

     Section 4.2. Controlled Filed Returns.

     Controlled shall have the exclusive obligation and right to prepare and file, or to cause to be prepared and filed, all Controlled Separate Returns that are not Distributing Filed Returns (“Controlled Filed Returns”), and Controlled shall have the exclusive obligation and right to prepare and file, or to cause to be prepared and filed, all Adjustment Requests made with respect to Controlled Filed Returns.

     Section 4.3. Tax Accounting Practices.

(a)

In General.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3(b), to the extent the Tax accounting practices or reporting position with respect to Tax Items reported on any Controlled Filed Return might reasonably affect any Tax liability for which Distributing is responsible under this Agreement, Controlled shall prepare such Controlled Filed Return and report such Tax Items in a manner that is consistent with Distributing’s past Tax accounting practices and reporting positions with respect to such Tax Items (unless such past Tax accounting practices or reporting positions are no longer permissible under the Code or other applicable Tax Law), and to the extent any Tax Items are not covered by past Tax accounting practices or reporting positions (or in the event such past Tax accounting practices or reporting positions are no longer permissible under the Code or other applicable Tax Law), in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices and reporting positions selected by Distributing.

(b)

Reporting of Transaction Tax Items.

     The Tax treatment reported on any Tax Return of Tax Items relating to the Transactions shall be consistent with the treatment of such Tax Items in the Ruling\Opinion Documents (unless such treatment is not permissible under the Code or other applicable Tax Law). To the extent there is a Tax Item relating to the Transactions which is not covered by the Ruling\Opinion Documents, Distributing shall determine the proper Tax treatment of any such Tax Item and the method for reporting such Tax Item on any Tax Return. Such treatment and reporting method shall be used by Controlled in preparing and filing any Controlled Filed Return unless either (i) there is no reasonable basis for such Tax treatment or (ii) such Tax treatment is inconsistent with the Tax treatment contemplated in the Ruling\Opinion Documents. To the extent any Controlled Filed Return includes a Tax Item relating to the Transactions, Controlled shall submit a copy of such Controlled Filed Return to Distributing for its review. Controlled shall use its reasonable best efforts to make such Controlled Filed Return available for Distributing’s review sufficiently in advance of the due date for filing such Controlled Filed Return to provide Distributing with a meaningful opportunity to analyze and comment on such Controlled Filed Return and have such Controlled Filed Return modified before filing. Any dispute regarding the proper Tax treatment of any Tax Item relating to the Transactions shall be referred for resolution pursuant to Section 9, sufficiently in advance of the filing date of such

Controlled Filed Return (including extensions) to permit the timely filing of the Controlled Filed Return.

     Section 4.4. Right to Review Combined Tax Returns.

     Distributing shall make any Combined Tax Return and related workpapers available for review by Controlled, if requested, to the extent (i) such Combined Tax Return relates to Taxes for which Controlled may be responsible under this Agreement or (ii) Controlled reasonably determines that it must inspect such Combined Tax Return to confirm its compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Distributing shall use its reasonable best efforts to make such Combined Tax Return available for review as required under this paragraph sufficiently in advance of the due date for filing such Combined Tax Return to provide Controlled with a meaningful opportunity to analyze and comment on such Combined Tax Return and have such Combined Tax Return modified before filing. Distributing and Controlled shall attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising out of the review of such Combined Tax Returns.

     Section 4.5. Adjustment Requests; Carrybacks; Utilization of Tax Assets.

(a)

Adjustment Requests and Carrybacks Requiring Distributing’s Consent.

     Except as otherwise required by applicable Tax Law or unless Distributing otherwise consents in writing, Controlled and Holdco #2 hereby agree to cause each Controlled Group Member (i) to not make any Adjustment Request with respect to any Income Tax for any Pre-Deconsolidation Period applicable to such Controlled Group Member and (ii) to make any available elections to relinquish the right to claim in any Pre-Deconsolidation Period any Carryback Items of any Controlled Group Member arising in a Post-Deconsolidation Period, including making the election under Section 172(b)(3) of the Code (and any similar provision of any other applicable Tax Laws) to relinquish the right to carry back net operating losses. With respect to any Adjustment Request to which Distributing grants its consent under the preceding sentence, Controlled shall reimburse Distributing for its legal, accounting, administrative and other related expenses incurred in preparing, filing and making any such Adjustment Request.

(b)

Carrybacks to Pre-Deconsolidation Periods.

     Notwithstanding Section 4.5(a), if any Controlled Group Member is required by applicable Tax Law to carry back a Carryback Item arising in a Post-Deconsolidation Period to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period, the Companies agree that any Carryback Item of any Distributing Group Member that may be carried back to the same Pre-Deconsolidation Period shall be deemed to be used before any Carryback Item of any Controlled Group Member. If any Distributing Group Member receives a refund or realizes a Tax Benefit as a result of a Carryback Item of any Controlled Group Member arising in a Post-Deconsolidation Period being carried back to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period, Distributing shall make a payment to Controlled in an amount equal to such refund or the realized Tax Benefit within 30 days following either the receipt of such refund or the filing of the Tax Return reflecting the realization of such Tax Benefit.

(c)

Other Adjustment Requests Permitted.

     With respect to any Tax imposed on or attributable to any Group Member for any applicable Pre-Deconsolidation Period, Distributing may make an Adjustment Request with respect to such Tax, including carrying back a Carryback Item of any Distributing Group Member arising in a Post-Deconsolidation Period to any Pre-Deconsolidation Period. Any refund or other Tax Benefit obtained as a result of any such Adjustment Request pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be for the account of Distributing, and Distributing shall have no obligation to compensate or make a payment to any Controlled Group Member in the event any such Adjustment Request results in a Tax Detriment to any Controlled Group Member.

(d)

Utilization of Tax Assets.

     With respect to each Combined Tax Return and any adjustment to the Income Taxes reflected on a Combined Tax Return as a result of a Tax Contest, Adjustment Request or otherwise, each Group Member included in such Combined Tax Return shall be entitled to use, in accordance with applicable Tax Laws, any and all Tax Assets of each other Group Member included in such Combined Tax Return. Except as provided in Section 5.1(d) with respect to Joint Taxes, no Group Member that utilizes the Tax Assets of any other Group Member shall be required to compensate or make any payment to such other Group Member with respect to the utilization of such Tax Assets.

Section 5. Payments Under this Agreement.

     Section 5.1. Joint Taxes.

     With respect to any Tax for any Taxable Period for which Distributing and Controlled are each responsible for a portion of such Tax under this Agreement (a “Joint Tax”), the following provisions shall apply:

(a)

Joint Taxes Relating to Combined Tax Returns.

     With respect to any Joint Tax that is reflected or reported on any Combined Tax Return, Distributing shall determine the amount of such Joint Tax that Controlled is responsible for under Section 2 (“Controlled’s Allocated Tax Liability”). At least 15 days prior to an applicable Payment Date, Distributing shall deliver to Controlled a statement setting forth in appropriate detail Distributing’s determination of Controlled’s Allocated Tax Liability and the amount (if any) of the cumulative net payments made with respect to such Joint Tax prior to the date of such statement by the Controlled Group (“Controlled’s Cumulative Tax Payment”). Not more than 30 days after Controlled’s receipt of such statement, Controlled shall pay Distributing an amount equal to the excess (if any) of Controlled’s Allocated Tax Liability, over Controlled’s Cumulative Tax Payment. If Controlled’s Cumulative Tax Payment is greater than Controlled’s Allocated Tax Liability, then Distributing shall pay such excess to Controlled within 30 days of Distributing’s receipt of the corresponding Tax Benefit (i.e., through either a reduction in Distributing’s otherwise required Tax payment or a refund of prior Tax payments).

(b)

Other Joint Taxes.

     With respect to any Joint Tax not described in Section 5.1(a), Controlled shall determine the amount of such Joint Tax that Distributing is responsible for under Section 2 (“Distributing’s Allocated Tax Liability”). At least 15 days prior to an applicable Payment Date, Controlled shall deliver to Distributing a statement setting forth in appropriate detail Controlled’s determination of Distributing’s Allocated Tax Liability and the amount (if any) of the cumulative net payments made with respect to such Joint Tax prior to the date of such statement by the Distributing Group (“Distributing’s Cumulative Tax Payment”). Not more than 30 days after Distributing’s receipt of such statement, Distributing shall pay Controlled an amount equal to the excess (if any) of Distributing’s Allocated Tax Liability, over Distributing’s Cumulative Tax Payment. If Distributing’s Cumulative Tax Payment is greater than Distributing’s Allocated Tax Liability, then Controlled shall pay such excess to Distributing within 30 days of Controlled’s receipt of the corresponding Tax Benefit (i.e., through either a reduction in Controlled’s otherwise required Tax payment or a refund of prior Tax payments).

(c)

Adjustments to Joint Taxes.

     (1) If there is any adjustment to any Joint Tax described in this Section 5.1(a), whether as a result of a Tax Contest, Adjustment Request or otherwise, Distributing shall redetermine Controlled’s Allocated Tax Liability (“Controlled’s Redetermined Allocated Tax Liability”). After determining Controlled’s Redetermined Allocated Tax Liability, Distributing shall deliver to Controlled a statement setting forth in appropriate detail Distributing’s determination of Controlled’s Redetermined Allocated Tax Liability and the amount (if any) of Controlled’s Cumulative Tax Payments made with respect to such Joint Tax prior to the date of such statement. Not more than 30 days after Controlled’s receipt of such statement, Controlled shall pay Distributing an amount equal to the excess (if any) of Controlled’s Redetermined Allocated Tax Liability, over Controlled’s Cumulative Tax Payments. If Controlled’s Cumulative Tax Payment is greater than Controlled’s Redetermined Allocated Tax Liability, then Distributing shall pay such excess to Controlled within 30 days of Distributing’s receipt of the corresponding Tax Benefit (i.e., through either a reduction in Distributing’s otherwise required Tax payment or a refund of prior Tax payments).

     (2) If there is any adjustment to any Joint Tax described in this Section 5.1(b), whether as a result of a Tax Contest, Adjustment Request or otherwise, Controlled shall redetermine Distributing’s Allocated Tax Liability (“Distributing’s Redetermined Allocated Tax Liability”). After determining Distributing’s Redetermined Allocated Tax Liability, Controlled shall deliver to Distributing a statement setting forth in appropriate detail Controlled’s determination of Distributing’s Redetermined Allocated Tax Liability and the amount (if any) of Distributing’s Cumulative Tax Payments made with respect to such Joint Tax prior to the date of such statement. Not more than 30 days after Distributing’s receipt of such statement, Distributing shall pay Controlled an amount equal to the excess (if any) of Distributing’s Redetermined Allocated Tax Liability, over Distributing’s Cumulative Tax Payments. If Distributing’s

Cumulative Tax Payment is greater than Distributing’s Redetermined Allocated Tax Liability, then Controlled shall pay such excess to Distributing within 30 days of Controlled’s receipt of the corresponding Tax Benefit (i.e., through either a reduction in Controlled’s otherwise required Tax payment or a refund of prior Tax payments).

(d)

Payments for Use of Tax Assets.

     If a Distributing Group Member realizes a Tax Benefit with respect to any Joint Tax upon its utilization of a Tax Asset of a Controlled Group Member, Distributing shall make a payment to Controlled equal to the Tax Benefit realized to the extent such utilized Tax Asset of the Controlled Group Member arose or accrued during any Post-Deconsolidation Period applicable to such Controlled Group Member. If a Controlled Group Member realizes a Tax Benefit with respect to any Joint Tax upon its utilization of a Tax Asset of a Distributing Group Member, Controlled shall make a payment to Distributing equal to the Tax Benefit realized to the extent such utilization occurs during any Post-Deconsolidation Period applicable to such Controlled Group Member. Any payment required to be made under this Section 5.1(d) shall be paid within 30 days following either the receipt of a refund or the filing of the Tax Return reflecting the realization of such Tax Benefit.

     Section 5.2. Payments to Tax Authority.

     With respect to each Tax Return that a Company is required to prepare and file under this Agreement, such Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Tax Authority when due (including extensions) all Taxes determined to be due and payable. With respect to any Joint Taxes described in Section 5.1(a), Distributing shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Tax Authority when due such Joint Taxes. With respect to any Joint Taxes described in Section 5.1(b), Controlled shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Tax Authority when due such Joint Taxes.

     Section 5.3. Timing of Payments.

     In the event a Company is required to make a payment to the other Company under this Agreement and the time for making such payment is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the first Company shall make such payment within 30 days of its receipt of such other Company’s written demand for such payment, which written demand shall include in reasonable detail an explanation and computation of the amount due.

     Section 5.4. Tax Treatment of Payments.

     Unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law, the Companies agree that any payments made by one Company to the other Companies (other than any reimbursement of expense pursuant to Section 4.5(a), payments for Joint Taxes pursuant to Section 5.1(b) and interest payments pursuant to Section 5.5) pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax and financial accounting purposes as nontaxable payments (dividend distributions or capital contributions, as the case may be) made immediately prior to the Distribution and, accordingly, as not includible in the Taxable income of the recipient Company or as deductible by the payor Company. If, notwithstanding the previous sentence, there is a Final Determination that the

recipient Company’s receipt of such payment is subject to Tax, the payor Company shall pay to the recipient Company an additional amount that, when added to the prior payment, will result in the recipient Company receiving an amount equal to such prior payment, after taking into account all Taxes that are payable by the recipient Company with respect to the receipt of such prior payment and such additional amount.

     Section 5.5. Interest.

     Any payment that is not made within the period prescribed in this Agreement (the “Payment Period”) shall bear interest at the Default Rate, compounded semiannually, for the period from and including the date immediately following the last date of the Payment Period through and including the date of payment. Notwithstanding Section 5.4, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the payor (deductible to the extent provided by applicable Tax Law) and as interest income by the recipient (includible in income to the extent provided by applicable Tax Law).

Section 6. Assistance and Cooperation; Retention of Tax Records.

     Section 6.1. Assistance and Cooperation.

     Controlled and Holdco #2 shall cause each Controlled Group Member to cooperate with Distributing and its agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters relating to Group Members including (i) the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, (ii) determining the liability for and the amount of any Taxes due (including estimated Taxes) or the right to an amount of any refund of Taxes and (iii) any Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include making all information and documents, including Tax Records, in any Controlled Group Member’s possession relating to any Group Member available to Distributing for inspection during normal business hours upon reasonable notice and, upon request by Distributing, providing copies, at Controlled’s expense, of such information and documents, including Tax Records. Controlled shall also make available to Distributing, as reasonably requested and available, personnel (including each Controlled Group Member’s officers, directors, employees and agents) responsible for preparing, maintaining and interpreting information and documents relevant to Taxes, and personnel reasonably required as witnesses or for purposes of providing information or documents in connection with any Tax Contest. Any information or documents provided under this Section 6 shall be kept confidential by Distributing, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any Tax Contest.

     Section 6.2. Retention of Tax Records.

     Each Company shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to Separate Company Taxes of their respective Groups for Pre-Deconsolidation Periods, and Distributing shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the Groups for Pre-Deconsolidation Periods, for so long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitation, and (ii) seven years after the date of the Distribution. If, prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation and such seven-year period, a Company reasonably determines that any Tax Records which it is required

to preserve and keep under this Section 6.2 are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, such Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon 90 days prior notice to the other Companies. Such notice shall include a list of the Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail each file, book or other record accumulation being disposed. The notified Company shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such 90-day period, all or any part of such Tax Records.

Section 7. Tax Contests.

     Section 7.1. Notice.

     Each of the Companies shall provide prompt notice to the other Companies of any pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware that could affect any Tax liability for which any of the other Companies may be responsible under this Agreement, provided, however, that failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Company is actually prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing such matters in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters.

     Section 7.2. Control of Tax Contests.

(a)

Tax Contests Relating to Tax Returns.

     Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company responsible for preparing and filing a Tax Return pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement (the “Controlling Company”) shall have the exclusive right, in its sole discretion, to control, contest and represent the interests of each Group in any Tax Contest relating to such Tax Return and to resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any such Tax Contest. The Controlling Company’s rights shall extend to any matter pertaining to the management and control of the Tax Contest, including execution of waivers, choice of forum, scheduling of conferences and the resolution of any Tax Item.

(b)

Additional Taxes, Distribution Taxes and International Restructuring Taxes.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Distributing shall have the exclusive right, in its sole discretion, to control, contest and represent the interests of each Group in any Tax Contest relating, in whole or in part, to Additional Taxes, Distribution Taxes and International Restructuring Taxes and to resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any such Tax Contest. Distributing’s rights shall extend to any matter pertaining to the management and control of the Tax Contest, including execution of waivers, choice of forum, scheduling of conferences and the resolution of any Tax Item.

(c)

Other Taxes.

     In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Other Tax for which Controlled is solely responsible under Section 2.5, Controlled shall have the exclusive right, in its sole discretion, to control, contest and represent the interests of the Controlled Group in such Tax Contest and to resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any such Tax Contest. With respect to any Other Tax not described in the preceding sentence, Distributing shall have the exclusive right, in its sole discretion, to control, contest and represent the interests of the Groups in such Tax Contest and to resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any such Tax Contest.

     Section 7.3. Reimbursement of Expenses.

     If the Indemnifying Company is not the Controlling Company, the Indemnifying Company shall reimburse the Controlling Company for its costs (including accountant’s fees, investigatory fees and fees and disbursements of tax counsel) (“Indemnification Expenses”) incurred in any Tax Contest that are reasonably allocable to the portion of the contested Taxes that would be the responsibility of the Indemnifying Company hereunder upon a Final Determination that such contested Taxes are due. The Controlling Company shall provide the Indemnifying Company with a written statement (a “Reimbursement Statement”) periodically (but not more often than monthly) that sets forth the amount of the Controlling Company’s Indemnification Expenses since the most recent Reimbursement Statement and due hereunder. Within 15 days of the Indemnifying Company’s receipt of each Reimbursement Statement, the Indemnifying Company shall pay to the Controlling Company the total amount of the Indemnification Expenses shown on such Reimbursement Statement.

Section 8. Continuing Covenants.

(a)

In General.

     Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of Distributing (for itself and each other Distributing Group Member), Controlled (for itself and each other Controlled Group Member) and Holdco #2 agrees (i) not to take any action reasonably expected to result in an increased Tax liability to another Company, a reduction in a Tax Asset of another Company or an increased liability to another Company under this Agreement, (ii) not to take any action, fail to take any action or commit any omission that would result in Additional Taxes or Distribution Taxes and (iii) to take any action reasonably requested by a Company that would reasonably be expected to result in a Tax Benefit or avoid a Tax Detriment to such Company; provided, that such action does not result in any additional direct or indirect cost not fully compensated for by the requesting Company.

(b)

Consistency.

     Each of Distributing (for itself and each other Distributing Group Member) and Controlled (for itself and each other Controlled Group Member) agrees that it will not take or fail to take any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with any material, information, covenant or representation contained in the Officer’s Certificate or Ruling Request.

For this purpose, an action is considered inconsistent with a representation if the representation states that there is no plan or intention to take such action. Each of Distributing (for itself and each other Distributing Group Member) and Controlled (for itself and each other Controlled Group Member) agrees that it will not take any position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with the treatment of (i) the transfer of the Entertainment Assets by members of the Distributing Group to members of the Controlled Group pursuant to the Holdco #2 Contribution or as otherwise contemplated by the Distribution Agreement as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, or (ii) the Distribution as tax-free under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code.

(c)

Certain Distributing Actions following the Distribution.

     Distributing agrees that during the 2 year period following the Distribution, without first obtaining a tax opinion from an Independent Firm that the following actions or combination of such actions will not result in Distribution Taxes: (1) Distributing shall not sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets comprising the AMG Broadcasting Business; (2) Distributing shall not merge with another Entity, without regard to which Entity survives, except in a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A), (C) or (D), or an exchange under Section 351, of the Code where the stockholders of Distributing own more than 50 percent of the stock of the surviving Entity (for this purpose any shares of Distributing acquired by any Person after the Distribution shall not be considered to be held by a stockholder of Distributing); and (3) Distributing shall not issue stock of Distributing (or any instrument that is convertible or exchangeable into any such stock) in an acquisition or public or private offering (excluding any issuance pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or other employment related arrangements having customary terms and conditions and that satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(e)(4)(ii)), unless following such issuance of stock, the stockholders of Distributing continue to own more than 50 percent of the stock of Distributing (for this purpose any shares of Distributing acquired by any Person after the Distribution shall not be considered to be held by a stockholder of Distributing).

(d)

Certain Controlled Actions Following the Distribution.

     During the 2 year period following the Distribution, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Distributing, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion: (1) Controlled shall not sell or transfer any material asset of or comprising the Theater Business or any interest in any Entity that conducts the Theater Business; (2) Controlled shall not, and shall not permit any Controlled Group Member which conducts the Theater Business to, merge with another Entity, without regard to which party is the surviving Entity; and (3) Controlled shall not issue or cause to be issued stock of any Controlled Group Member (or any instrument that is convertible or exchangeable into any such stock) in an acquisition or public or private offering, and shall not issue stock of Controlled (or any instrument that is convertible or exchangeable into any such stock) in an acquisition or public or private offering (excluding any issuance pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or other employment related arrangements having customary terms and conditions and that satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(e)(4)(ii)).

(e)

Certain Actions of Controlled and Holdco #2 Following the Sale.

     During the 6 year period following the Sale, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Distributing, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion, neither Controlled nor Holdco #2 shall acquire, however effected, or permit or cause any Controlled Group Member to acquire, however effected, any shares of either the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock.

(f)

Notice of Specified Transactions.

     Not later than 20 days prior to entering into any oral or written contract or agreement, and not later than 5 days after it first becomes aware of any negotiations, plan or intention (regardless of whether it is a party to such negotiations, plan or intention), regarding any of the transactions described in Section 8(c), (d) or (e), each Company shall provide written notice of its intent to consummate such transaction or the negotiations, plan or intention of which it becomes aware, to the other Companies.

Section 9. Dispute Resolution.

     In the event that the Companies disagree as to the amount or calculation of any payment to be made under this Agreement, or the interpretation or application of any provision under this Agreement, the Companies shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the commencement of the dispute, the Companies shall jointly retain an Independent Firm, reasonably acceptable to the Companies, to resolve the dispute; provided, however, that in order to pursue any such dispute resolution under this Section 9, the Indemnifying Company must first pay to the Indemnified Company, or place in an escrow reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Company pending resolution of such dispute, an amount equal to the payment which is the subject of such dispute. The Independent Firm shall act as an arbitrator to resolve all points of disagreement and its decision shall be final and binding upon the Companies. Following the decision of the Independent Firm, the Companies shall take, or cause to be taken, any action necessary to implement the decision of the Independent Firm. The fees and expenses relating to the Independent Firm shall be borne by the Company that does not prevail in the dispute resolution proceeding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the dispute resolution provisions set forth in this Section 9 shall not be applicable to any disagreement between the Companies relating to Distribution Taxes, the SFXE Loss, International Restructuring Taxes or any matter relating to any Tax Contest.
