(a) The directors of each newly elected or appointed Board will meet at such time and place as will be consented to in writing by all of the newly elected directors. Each director, upon his or her election or appointment, will qualify by accepting the office of director, and his or her attendance at, or his or her written approval of the minutes of, any meeting of the newly elected directors will constitute his or her acceptance of such office, or he may execute such acceptance by a separate writing.

No non-employee director (i.e., an “outside director”) of a Class A or Class C Member shall be deemed to be an Affiliate for purposes of Section 6.5 (a). The one-year post-ownership restriction set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.5 (a) shall not apply to officers and directors of a Class A or Class C Member.
(c) While neither Class A Member shall be required by Section 6.5 (a) to offer opportunities to the Company (as set forth in Section 6.6), in the event a Class A or Class C Member desires to enter into an arrangement with a third party that would otherwise violate Section 6.5 (a), such Class A or Class C Member will, by written notice delivered to the Company and the other Class A Member (an “Opportunity Notice”), present such opportunity to the Company for the Company’s consideration. The Company shall then consider in good faith whether such opportunity would be in the best interests of the Company to pursue. At the end of such consideration, which much occur within 30 days of receipt of the Opportunity Notice, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, by written notice delivered to both Class A Members, determine whether it elects to accept the opportunity or forego the opportunity. If the Company elects to forego the opportunity, or is otherwise unable to reach an agreement with respect to the opportunity within 60 days of receipt of the Opportunity Notice, the proposing party may pursue the opportunity but only with the prior written consent of the non-proposing party, which consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason. If the proposing party receives the prior written consent of the non-proposing party, thereafter engaging in such opportunity shall not be a violation of this Section 6.5. The proposing Class A Member shall have no obligation to pursue the opportunity after complying with this Section 6.5 (c), and may discontinue the pursuit of such opportunity should it so choose, at any time.
17 |
(d) Each Member agrees that, while such Member is a Member of the Company and for a period of one year thereafter, such Member will not, directly or indirectly, without the express written consent of all of the Members:
(1) entice or induce or attempt to entice or induce or in any manner influence any person who is or will be in the employ or service of the Company to leave such employ or service for the purpose of engaging in a business which may be a competitor of the Company, in the geographic area in which the Company does business; or
(2) entice or induce or attempt to entice or induce or in any manner influence any person who is or may become a supplier or customer of the Company to terminate or not enter into such relationship with the Company.

(h) If any of the provisions of this Section 6.5 are held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included therein. If any provision of this Section 6.5 relating to time period and/or scope of restriction is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period or scope such court deems reasonable and enforceable, said time period and/or scope of restriction will be deemed to become and thereafter be the maximum time period and/or scope which such court deems reasonable and enforceable.
6.6 Waiver of Fiduciary Duties; Corporate Opportunities.

(b) In the event Cinedigm elects to Transfer its Interest to a third party purchaser, Cinedigm shall provide written notice, at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed closing, to each other Member, and each other Member will have the right to elect to participate in the sale as a seller of all of such other Member’s Interest along with the sale by Cinedigm for the same consideration per percent of Percentage Interest and upon the same terms relating to Interests as Cinedigm, subject to appropriate adjustments to reflect amounts that would be payable to each Member under Section 4.1 if the Company was selling substantially all of its assets in a transaction of comparable value with the buyer (the “Tag-Along Right”). Cinedigm will have the right (the “Drag-Along Right”) to require all (but not less than all) of the other Members to participate in the sale as sellers of their Interests along with the sale by Cinedigm for the same consideration per percent of Percentage Interest and upon the same terms relating to Interests as Cinedigm subject to appropriate adjustments to reflect amounts that would be payable to each Member under Section 4.1 if the Company was selling substantially all of its assets in a transaction of comparable value with the buyer. The Member(s) exercising their Tag-Along Right will give written notice of exercise to the Company and the other Members by the end of the 30 day period after notice from Cinedigm of its intention to sell. At the closing, each participating Member will execute and deliver all documents as may be reasonably required to effectuate the transfer of the applicable Interests, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any type, other than this Agreement, and each participating Member will execute such other instruments as may be reasonably required of all participating Members. If (i) Cinedigm exercises the Drag-Along Right and (ii) any other Member actively opposes or refuses to cooperate in such sale, then, in such circumstances, Cinedigm is hereby granted a limited power-of-attorney to act for and in the name of any such other Member to execute any and all documentation in connection with the sale of the other Member’s Interest that Cinedigm deems necessary to consummate the transaction.
(c) In the event Cinedigm’s Drag Along Right is proposed to be exercised, or Wizard World proposes to exercise its Tag-Along Right, in connection with a sale to a competitor of Wizard World in the live convention portion of the Comic-Con Sector, Wizard World shall have the right to terminate its License Agreement and Services Agreement with the Company, effective 60 days from the closing of the sale of the Company to such competitor. Wizard World shall within five (5) Business Days of receipt of Cinedigm’s notice exercising its Drag Along Right or, in the case of Wizard World exercising its Tag-Along right at the time of exercise, notify Cinedigm in the event it reasonably and in good faith believes Cinedigm’s Drag Along Right or its own Tag-Along Right is being exercised in connection with a sale to a competitor of Wizard World in the live convention portion of the Comic-Con Sector and whether it proposed to so terminate the License Agreement and Services Agreement. Cinedigm shall have the option to: (i) withdraw the Drag Along Notice, which shall also have the effect of terminating any Tag-Along Right, and terminate the sale transaction (ii) suspend the Drag Along Notice and Tag-Along Right and the sale to which it relates and initiate mediation and arbitration proceedings pursuant to Section 11.17 in order to determine whether the proposed buyer is, in fact, a competitor of Wizard World in the live convention portion of the Comic-Con Sector, or (iii) proceed with the Drag Along Notice (if any) and sale, in which case Wizard World’s notice of termination of its License Agreement and Services Agreement shall be effective pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(a) The Transfer complies with the provisions of Section 9.1.
(b) Except for Transfers under Section 3.7(a) and Section 9.6, the assignor Member states that such assignor Member intends for the assignee to be admitted as a Substitute Member of the Company in the instrument of assignment;

Upon satisfaction of all of the foregoing conditions with respect to a particular assignee, the Members will cause this Agreement (including Schedule A) and, if necessary, the Certificate to be duly amended to reflect the admission of the assignee as a Substitute Member.
9.3 Effect of Admission as a Substitute Member. Unless and until admitted as a Substitute Member in accordance with Section 9.2, a permitted assignee of all or a part of a Member’s Interest is only an Assignee, is not a Member and is not entitled to exercise any of the governance or any other rights or powers of a Member in the Company (all of which will remain with the assignor Member), including, without limitation, the right to vote, grant approvals or give consents with respect to such Interest, the right to require any information or accounting of the Company’s business, the right to receive any notices provided under this Agreement, or the right to inspect the Company’s books and records. Such Assignee will only be entitled to receive the specific Economic Rights transferred to the Assignee which the assignor would otherwise be entitled to receive. A permitted assignee who has become a Substitute Member has, to the extent of the Interest transferred to such assignee, all the rights and powers of the Person for whom such assignee is substituted as the Member and is subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement and the Act. Upon admission of a permitted assignee as a Substitute Member, the assignor of the Interest so acquired by the Substitute Member will cease to be a Member of the Company to the extent of such transferred Interest. A Person will not cease to be a Member upon assignment or Transfer of all of such Member’s Interest unless and until the assignee(s) becomes a Substitute Member as to all of such Interest.

9.5 Withdrawal of a Member. No Member will have the right or power, and no Member will attempt, to Withdraw from the Company before the 36 month anniversary of this Agreement and except upon giving at least six months advance written notice thereof to the Company and the other Members. No Assignee will have the right or power to Withdraw from the Company. Any act or purported act of a Member or Assignee in violation of this Section will be void and of no effect. If a Member exercises any non-waivable statutory right to Withdraw from the Company, such Withdrawal will be a default or breach by the Member of its obligations under this Agreement and the Company may recover from such Member any damages incurred by the Company as a result of such Withdrawal and offset the damages against any amounts payable to such Member under the Act, the Certificate or this Agreement. Unless the other Members elect to dissolve the Company under Section 10.1(c) due to such Withdrawal, such Withdrawing Member will only be entitled to receive from the Company 25% of the amount of the Member’s Capital Account balance, determined as of the effective date of the Member’s Withdrawal. Such balance will constitute a liability of the Company to the Member and will be paid to the Member by the Company in 48 consecutive equal monthly installments, without interest, beginning three months after such Withdrawal effective date. On the Withdrawal effective date, the Member will cease to be a Member and the Member will execute a bill of sale and assignment transferring its Interest back to the Company. The Company will not be obligated to obtain a release of the Withdrawing Member and its affiliates from any guarantee by it and them of any loan or lease for which the Company is liable at the time of the Member’s Withdrawal. If the Withdrawing Member has an outstanding loan to the Company, the Company will remain obligated to repay such loan in accordance with the terms thereof, including, without limitation, the requirements of Section 4.1 (as if the Withdrawing Member was still a Member for purposes of such Section 4.1).
9.6 Treatment of Class B Units in Certain Events. In the event of a buyout of one Class A Member of all of the other Class A Member’s Class A Units (or in the case of Cinedigm, its Class A and Class C Units), the remaining Class A Member shall have the right to purchase all Class B Units at Fair Value, as determined by the Board based upon the report of an Independent Valuation Firm on the Class B Units.
9.7 Anti-Dilution Protection – Class A Units of Wizard World and Cinedigm. The Company agrees that Wizard World’s 100 Class A Units and 100 of Cinedigm’s current Class A Units as set forth on Schedule A shall have anti-dilution protection rights such that in no event shall such Class A Units of either of them be less than 10% (ten percent) of the total number of Units, or rights or interests convertible into or exchangeable for Units, on a fully diluted basis. In the event that the Company issues any Interests or any interest convertible into or exchangeable for Interests to any person or entity, the Company agrees to undertake all necessary measures to provide for a sufficient number of Units to be issued to Wizard World or Cinedigm, as the case may be, in respect of such Units so as to maintain in each of them no less than 10% of the total number of Units, or rights or interests convertible into or exchangeable for Units, on a fully diluted basis. The rights set forth in this Section shall automatically become null and void upon a public offering of the Company’s securities or a sale by the Member having such right of its Units.
26 |
9.8 Limited Put Right.
(a) In the event that the Company (i) admits an additional Member and such additional Member is a competitor of Wizard World in the live convention portion of the Comic-Con Sector, and (ii) such additional Member receives a Percentage Interest that is higher than the Percentage Interest of Wizard World, then Wizard World shall have the option (but not the obligation) to sell all (but not less than all) of its Units to the Company (the “Put Right”), and if Wizard World exercises its Put Right, the Company shall purchase the Units held by Wizard World in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.8. Wizard World may exercise its Put Right at any time within thirty (30) days after Wizard World receives notice of the sale or issuance by the Company. If Wizard World does not exercise its Put Right prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, then the option to sell Wizard World’s Units under this Section 9.8 shall expire, and Wizard World shall no longer have the right to sell its Units to the Company as a result of such sale or issuance. The closing of the purchase and sale of Wizard World’s Units shall take place on a date that is reasonably acceptable to the Company but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which Wizard World exercises its Put Right.
(b) The purchase price to be paid by the Company for Wizard World’s Units pursuant to this Section 9.8 shall be an amount equal to the Appraised Value of Wizard World’s Units.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.8 shall not apply to any sale or issuance of Units or other Interests by the Company to (i) ReedPop or its parent Reed Exhibitions or any of their respective Affiliates (collectively, “ReedPop”) or (ii) ComicCon International or any of its Affiliates, including any joint ventures in which ComicCon International is involved (collectively “ComicCon International”); provided, however, in the event that, at the time of such sale or issuance, Wizard World is currently involved in any actions, claims, legal proceedings or litigation with ReedPop and/or ComicCon International, or Wizard World is aware of any imminent action, claim, legal proceeding or litigation with either ReedPop and/or ComicCon International, this Section 9.8(c) shall not apply and Wizard World shall be entitled to exercise its Put Right subject to the terms of Section 9.8(a) and (b).

ARTICLE 10
DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION
10.1 Events Causing Dissolution. The Company will be dissolved upon the first to occur of the following events:
(a) The expiration of the period (if any) fixed for the duration of the Company, as set forth in the Certificate, unless extended by the Class C Members.
(b) At any time by action of the Board.
(c) Any other event causing a dissolution of the Company under the Act, except that (i) a vote of the Members to dissolve will cause a dissolution only if it satisfies clause (b) above or the next sentence, and (ii) the Withdrawal, Involuntary Transfer or dissolution of a Member or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of a Member will not cause the Company to be dissolved or its affairs to be wound up. Upon the occurrence of any such event described in clause (ii) above, the Company will be continued without dissolution, unless within 90 days following the occurrence of such event, the other Members unanimously agree in writing to dissolve the Company. If the Company is not so dissolved, the business of the Company will continue (A) with the affected Member, remaining as a Member, or (B) if such Interest is transferred to a successor holder by operation of law, with such assignee being a permitted assignee of the Distribution and Allocation rights associated with such Interest, but such assignee will become a Substitute Member only in accordance with Section 9.3.
10.2 Effect of Dissolution. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, upon the dissolution of the Company, the Members will take such actions as may be required in accordance with the Act and will proceed to wind up, liquidate and terminate the business and affairs of the Company. In connection with such winding up, the Board will have the authority to liquidate and reduce to cash (to the extent necessary or appropriate) the assets of the Company as promptly as is consistent with obtaining a fair and reasonable value for such assets, to apply and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation and any remaining assets in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 4.2, and to do any and all acts and things authorized by, and in accordance with, the Act and other applicable laws for the purpose of winding up and liquidation.
10.3 Right of First Offer Prior to Dissolution. In the event the Board authorizes the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 10.1 (b), it shall provide Wizard World with written notice of such dissolution (a “Dissolution Notice”) at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the Board intends to effect such dissolution. Wizard World shall have thirty (30) days following the receipt of a Dissolution Notice (the “Dissolution Offer Period”) to make a written good faith offer to purchase the assets or membership interests of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.3. Wizard World’s written good faith offer to the Company stating that it desires to purchase the assets or membership interests of the Company shall specify: (i) the proposed purchase price and all other proposed terms and conditions of the offer, and (ii) the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the acquisition of the Company, which shall not be more than 45 days from the date of the Dissolution Notice. In no event shall an offer that will create an ongoing and recurring operating cost for Cinedigm after the business of the Company has been fully transitioned to Wizard World qualify as a “good faith offer”. Any offer delivered by Wizard World under this Section 10.3 shall be binding upon Wizard World (but not upon the Company) upon delivery to the Company and shall be irrevocable as to Wizard World. If Wizard World does not deliver a written good faith offer during the Dissolution Offer Period, it shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights to purchase the Company under this Section 10.3. The Board shall consider such offer in good faith. For the avoidance of doubt, Wizard World’s right to purchase the Company under this Section 10.3 shall only apply in the event the Board formally authorizes a dissolution of the Company, and shall not create any rights of Wizard World in the event of any other sale of the Company or its assets, or any issuance of membership interests, or any other transaction, all of which such transactions are otherwise governed by other terms of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE B
TAX EXHIBIT
1. Definitions. As used in this Tax Exhibit, the following terms will have the following meanings, unless the context otherwise specifies:
“Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any, in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, after giving effect to the following adjustments: (i) increased for any amounts such Member is unconditionally obligated to restore and the amount of such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain after taking into account any changes during such year; and (ii) reduced by the items described in Treasury Regulation §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).
“Company Minimum Gain” will have the same meaning as partnership minimum gain set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(d). Company Minimum Gain will be determined, first, by computing for each Nonrecourse Liability any gain which the Company would realize if the Company disposed of the property subject to that liability for no consideration other than full satisfaction of such liability and, then, aggregating the separately computed gains. For purposes of computing gain, the Company will use the basis of such property which is used for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts under Section 3.3 of the Agreement. In any taxable year in which a Revaluation occurs, the net increase or decrease in Company Minimum Gain for such taxable year will be determined by: (1) calculating the net decrease or increase in Company Minimum Gain using the current year’s book value and the prior year’s amount of Company Minimum Gain, and (2) adding back any decrease in Company Minimum Gain arising solely from the Revaluation.
“Credits” means all investment and other tax credits allowed by the Code with respect to activities of the Company or the Property.
“Income” and “Loss” mean, respectively, for each fiscal year or other period, an amount equal to the Company’s taxable income or loss for such year or period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a), except that for this purpose (i) all items of income, gain, deduction or loss required to be separately stated by Code Section 703(a)(1) will be included in taxable income or loss; (ii) tax exempt income will be added to taxable income or loss; (iii) any expenditures described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) (or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)) and not otherwise taken into account in computing taxable income or loss will be subtracted; and (iv) taxable income or loss will be adjusted to reflect any item of income or loss specifically allocated in Article 4 of the Agreement.
“Member Minimum Gain” will have the same meaning as partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain as set forth in Treasury Regulation § l.704-2(i)(3). With respect to each Member Nonrecourse Debt, Member Minimum Gain will be determined by computing for each Member Nonrecourse Debt any gain which the Company would realize if the Company disposed of the property subject to that liability for no consideration other than full satisfaction of such liability. For purposes of computing gain, the Company will use the basis of such property which is used for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts. In any taxable year in which a Revaluation occurs, the net increase or decrease in Member Minimum Gain for such taxable year will be determined by: (1) calculating the net decrease or increase in Member Minimum Gain using the current year’s book value and the prior year’s amount of Member Minimum Gain, and (2) adding back any decrease in Member Minimum gain arising solely from the Revaluation.
B-1 |
“Member Nonrecourse Debt” will have the same meaning as partner nonrecourse debt set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(b)(4).
“Member Nonrecourse Deductions” will have the same meaning as partner nonrecourse deductions set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(2). Generally, the amount of Member Nonrecourse Deductions with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt for a fiscal year equals the net increase during the year in the amount of Member Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i)) reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate distributions made during the year of proceeds of a Member Nonrecourse Debt and allocable to the increase in Member Minimum Gain, determined according to the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i).
“Nonrecourse Deduction” will have the same meaning as nonrecourse deductions set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(b)(1). Generally, the amount of Nonrecourse Deductions for a fiscal year equals the net increase in the amount of Company Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(d)) during such year reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate distributions made during the year of proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability that are allocable to an increase in Company Minimum Gain, determined according to the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(c) and (h).
“Nonrecourse Liability” means a Company liability with respect to which no Member bears the economic risk of loss as determined under Treasury Regulation § 1.752-1(a)(2).
“Revaluation” means the occurrence of an event described in clause (v), (w), (x), (y) or (z) of Section 2 below in which the book basis of Property is adjusted to its Fair Value.
2. Capital Accounts. Each Member’s Capital Account will be (a) increased by (i) the amount of money contributed by such Member, (ii) the Fair Value of property contributed by such Member (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752), (iii) allocations to such Member, in accordance with Article 4 of the Agreement, of Company income and gain (or items thereof), and (iv) to the extent not already netted out under clause (b)(ii) below, the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by the Member or which are secured by any property distributed to such Member; and (b) decreased by (i) the amount of money distributed to such Member, (ii) the Fair Value of property distributed to such Member (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752), (iii) allocations to such Member, in accordance with Article 4 of the Agreement, of Company loss and deduction (or items thereof), and (iv) to the extent not already netted out under clause (a)(ii) above, the amount of any liabilities of the Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company.
B-2 |
In the event any interest in the Company is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the assignee will succeed to the Capital Account of the assignor to the extent it relates to the transferred interest, except as otherwise provided in the written transfer agreement between the assignor and assignee.
In the event of (v) the grant of a more than de minimis Interest in the Company as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Company by an existing Member acting in a Member capacity, or by a new Member acting in a Member capacity or in anticipation of being a Member, (w) an additional capital contribution by an existing or an additional Member of more than a de minimis amount or a distribution of property which results in a shift in Percentage Interests, (x) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of property (other than cash), (y) a distribution of Property in exchange for an Interest, or (z) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), the book basis of the Company Property will be adjusted to Fair Value and the Capital Accounts of all the Members will be adjusted simultaneously to reflect the aggregate net adjustment to book basis as if the Company recognized gain and loss equal to the amount of such aggregate net adjustment.
If Property is subject to Code Section 704(c) or is revalued on the books of the Company in accordance with the preceding paragraph in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Treasury Regulations, the Members’ Capital Accounts will be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Treasury Regulations for allocations to the Members of depreciation, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes (and not tax purposes) with respect to such property.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 2 and the other provisions of the Agreement relating to the maintenance of capital accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b) and Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. To the extent necessary to comply with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), a Member’s Capital Account will be reduced for the adjustments and allocations set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6). In the event a Majority in Interest determines that it is prudent or advisable to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any increases or decreases thereto, are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, such Majority in Interest may cause such modification to be made without the consent of all the Members, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member upon the dissolution of the Company. In addition, a Majority in Interest may amend this Agreement in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations as provided in Section 3(j) of this Tax Exhibit.

3. Special Rules Regarding Allocation of Tax Items. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4 of the Agreement, the following special rules will apply in allocating the net income or net loss of the Company:
(a) Section 704(c) and Revaluation Allocations. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and notwithstanding any subsequent repeal or modification thereof, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company will, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Fair Value at the time of contribution. In the event of the occurrence of a Revaluation, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property will take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Fair Value immediately after the adjustment in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Allocations in accordance with this Section 3(a) are solely for income tax purposes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account, distributions or share of income or loss, in accordance with any provision of this Agreement.
(b) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of Article 4 of the Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, each Member will be allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during such year (hereinafter referred to as the “Minimum Gain Chargeback Requirement”). A Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain is the amount of the total decrease multiplied by the Member’s percentage share of the Company Minimum Gain at the end of the immediately preceding taxable year. A Member is not subject to the Minimum Gain Chargeback Requirement to the extent: (1) the Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain is caused by a guarantee, refinancing or other change in the debt instrument causing it to become partially or wholly recourse debt or a Member Nonrecourse Liability, and the Member bears the economic risk of loss for the newly guaranteed, refinanced or otherwise changed liability; (2) the Member contributes capital to the Company that is used to repay the Nonrecourse Liability and the Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain results from the repayment; or (3) the Minimum Gain Chargeback Requirement would cause a distortion and the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service waives such requirement.
A Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain will be computed in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(g) and as of the end of any Company taxable year will equal: (1) the sum of the nonrecourse deductions allocated to that Member up to that time and the distributions made to that Member up to that time of proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability allocable to an increase of Company Minimum Gain, minus (2) the sum of that Member’s aggregate share of net decrease in Company Minimum Gain plus his aggregate share of decreases resulting from revaluations of Company Property subject to Nonrecourse Liabilities. In addition, a Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain will be adjusted for the conversion of recourse and Member Nonrecourse Liabilities into Nonrecourse Liabilities in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(g)(3). In computing the above, amounts allocated or distributed to the Member’s predecessor in interest will be taken into account.

(c) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of Article 4 of the Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, any Member with a share of that Member Minimum Gain (determined under Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the year will be allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain. In accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(4), a Member is not subject to the Member Minimum Gain Chargeback requirement to the extent the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain arises because the liability ceases to be Member Nonrecourse Debt due to a conversion, refinancing or other change in the debt instrument that causes it to be partially or wholly a nonrecourse debt. The amount that would otherwise be subject to the Member Minimum Gain Chargeback requirement is added to the Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain.
(d) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation § 1.704.1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), which causes or increases such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income, and gain for such year) will be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation under this Section 3(d) will be made if and only to the extent such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations under Article 4 of the Agreement have been made.
(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period will be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.
(f) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deduction will be allocated to the Member who bears the risk of loss with respect to the loan to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i).
(g) Curative Allocations. Any special allocations of items of income, gain, deduction or loss in accordance with Sections 3(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (h) of this Tax Exhibit will be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of income and gain in accordance with Article 4 of the Agreement, so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Member in accordance with Article 4 of the Agreement will, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 of the Agreement if such adjustments, allocations or distributions had not occurred.
(h) Loss Allocation Limitation. Notwithstanding the other provisions of Article 4 of the Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by all of the Members, no Member will be allocated Loss in any taxable year which would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of such taxable year.
(i) Share of Nonrecourse Liabilities. Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s interest in Company profits is equal to its respective Percentage Interest.

(j) Compliance with Treasury Regulations. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3 are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation §§ 1.704-1, 1.704-2 and 1.752-1 through 1.752-5, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. In the event it is determined by a Majority in Interest that it is prudent or advisable to so amend this Agreement in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, such Majority in Interest is empowered to amend or modify this Agreement without the consent of all the Members, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement.
(k) General Allocation Provisions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items that are components of Income or Loss will be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share such net income or net loss, as the case may be, for the year. For purposes of determining the Income, Loss or any other items for any period, Income, Loss or any such other items will be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Members using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
4. Rules with respect to noncompensatory options. The parties agree that: (i) the terms of Section 3.2(b) of the Agreement represent a “noncompensatory option,” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation §1.721-2(f); (ii) that Wizard World, the holder of such noncompensatory option, is not treated as a Member (or a partner) under Treasury Regulation §1.761-3 merely by virtue of being a holder of such noncompensatory option, and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:
(a) Pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(4)(ix)(a)(2), this Agreement requires that, while any noncompensatory option is outstanding, the Company will comply with the rules of Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and that, on the exercise of any noncompensatory option, the Company will comply with the rules of Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s).
(b) Pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(1), in lieu of revaluing the Company’s property under Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) immediately before the exercise of the option, the Company must revalue Company property in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation §§1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(1) through (f)(4) immediately after the exercise of the option.
(c) Pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(2), in determining the Capital Accounts of the Members (including the exercising Member) under Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(1), the Company will first allocate any unrealized income, gain, or loss in Company property (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) to the exercising Member to the extent necessary to reflect that Member’s right to share in Company capital under this Agreement, and then allocate any remaining unrealized income, gain, or loss (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) to the existing Members, to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, or loss in Company property would be allocated among those Members if there were a taxable disposition of such property for its fair market value on that date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, if the exercising Member’s initial Capital Account as determined under Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(b) and Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(d)(4) would be less than the amount that reflects the exercising Member’s right to share in Company capital under this Agreement, then only income or gain may be allocated to the exercising Member from Company properties with unrealized appreciation, in proportion to their respective amounts of unrealized appreciation. If the exercising Member’s initial Capital Account, as determined under Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(b) and Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(d)(4), would be greater than the amount that reflects the exercising Member’s right to share in Company capital under this Agreement, then only loss may be allocated to the exercising Member from Company properties with unrealized loss, in proportion to their respective amounts of unrealized loss. However, any allocation must take into account the economic arrangement of the Members with respect to the property.

(d) Pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), if, after making the allocations described in Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(2), the exercising Member’s Capital Account does not reflect that Member’s right to share in Company capital under this Agreement, then the Company reallocates Company capital between the existing Members and the exercising Member so that the exercising Member’s Capital Account reflects the exercising Member’s right to share in Company capital under this Agreement (a Capital Account reallocation). Any increase or decrease in the Capital Accounts of existing Members that occurs as a result of a Capital Account reallocation under Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3) must be allocated among the existing Members in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s).
(e) Pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(4), this Agreement requires corrective allocations (as set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(4)(x)) so as to take into account all Capital Account reallocations made under Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3).
