(7)
[***].

(8)

(ii) If NCM sells a Platinum Spot (whether a sixty second (:60) spot or a thirty second (:30) spot) in all Exhibitor theatres (i.e. all of LLC’s network of Exhibitors) across all Play Lists, then the Aggregate Trailer Pod Revenue specific to the Platinum Spot displayed in all Exhibitor theatres is expected (on an annualized basis, using a Platinum Contract Year) to be [***] dollars ($[***]) (the “Platinum Revenue Minimum”)

(12)
Regal will display the Trailer Pod Inventory in accordance with technical specifications, including delivery and update timelines and file specifications in the same manner as have been customarily agreed by the Parties. Regal will notify LLC of the success or failure to display the Trailer Pod Inventory in order for LLC to comply with its obligations to advertising clients in the same manner as Regal customarily provides reporting to LLC of advertising displays.

(13)
LLC acknowledges and agrees that the Trailer Pod Inventory shall not be sold for non-cash consideration.

(14)
Subject to any applicable health or safety legal requirements or regulations, Regal will ensure that at and after Showtime, the auditorium lighting in each Theatre will be materially similar to the auditorium lighting in that Theatre during the Trailers as of the Amendment Effective Date. In the event that such health or safety issues arise from the auditorium lighting, the Parties agree to work in good faith to find a resolution.
