With respect to all Newbuild Theatres, Acquisition Theatres, and Theatres which are converted from Non-Digitized Theatres to Digitized Theatres or from Digitized Theatres to Non-Digitized Theatres after the Effective Date (collectively, the “Future Theatres”), LLC shall, except as provided in Section 3.03, be solely responsible for procuring any Equipment for such Theatres. LLC shall bear the cost of all Equipment for use outside the Theatres, as well as Equipment installed in the Theatres for maintenance purposes (if any) (a description of such LLC Equipment installed in the Theatres is included in the Specification Documentation; which may be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties) and the Software. [Circuit A] shall reimburse LLC, at LLC’s cost, for all other Equipment to be installed at or within any Future Theatres (a description of such [Circuit A] Equipment is included in the Specification Documentation; which may be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties) within thirty (30) days after (i) the installation of such Equipment by [Circuit A] or LLC in accordance with Section 3.04 and (ii) the delivery of invoices by LLC to [Circuit A] supporting the expenses for which reimbursement is sought. All Theatre-level operational costs associated with [Circuit A]’s use of Equipment located in the Theatres, such as the cost of electricity, shall be borne exclusively by [Circuit A]. LLC shall assure that the Equipment purchased by LLC satisfies [Circuit A]’s specifications for such equipment, including the communication interface between LLC Equipment and [Circuit A] Equipment.

Section 3.02 Ownership of Equipment. As between the Parties, each Party will own the Equipment it pays for or reimburses the other Party for, whether pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.03. To the extent possible, LLC agrees to assign to [Circuit A] any manufacturer warranties applicable to [Circuit A] Equipment procured by LLC pursuant to Section 3.01. If for any reason the aforementioned warranties are not assignable, upon written request of [Circuit A], LLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the warranties on behalf of [Circuit A].

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any LLC Equipment placed or installed in a Theatre for maintenance purposes may, upon termination of this Agreement or deletion of a particular Theatre as provided herein, as applicable, be removed by LLC and held for its sole benefit.

Section 3.03 [Circuit A] Equipment. [Circuit A] shall be permitted to furnish any of the Equipment, at its sole cost and expense, upon consultation with LLC, and provided such Equipment satisfies LLC’s specifications for such Equipment (including compatibility with the Digital Content Network).

Section 3.04 Installation.

(a) Performance. [Circuit A] and/or its subcontractors shall be solely responsible for the installation of all Equipment purchased pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.03, as well as for ancillary services such as reporting, software integration and system cutover; provided, however, that [Circuit A] may elect to have LLC perform such services, and LLC shall then assume the responsibility for installation of all Equipment. If [Circuit A] elects for LLC to assume the responsibility for installation of all Equipment, (i) [Circuit A] shall reimburse LLC for the cost of installing [Circuit A] Equipment as set forth in the Specification Documentation, (ii) LLC will not issue invoices for any Equipment cost, or installation services related to such Equipment until the completion of such installation services, and (iii) LLC shall ensure that Equipment installed pursuant to this section is made functional in accordance with any installation rollout schedule agreed to by the Parties, as may be amended from time to time upon mutual agreement of the Parties or as circumstances warrant.

(b) Consultation; Landline. The Parties agree to consult with each other with respect to any modifications to Theatre premises necessary for receipt of the Service. LLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the size and number of satellite dishes that are required as part of the Equipment. [Circuit A] shall be solely responsible for obtaining any consents required for the installation or use of any Equipment at any Theatre, including without limitation governmental and landlord consents, provided LLC reasonably cooperates with [Circuit A] at [Circuit A]’s request in obtaining such consents. If [Circuit A] cannot obtain consent to installation of a satellite dish at a Theatre because of technical, landlord or legal restrictions, [Circuit A] and LLC shall work together in good faith to establish a landline connection to such location for the Digital Content Network. All costs of the landline connection, which shall be maintained with sufficient bandwidth for delivery of the Digital Content Service, shall be borne by LLC with respect to delivery of content from LLC to [Circuit A]’s wide area network and by [Circuit A] with respect to delivery of content from [Circuit A]’s wide area network to the applicable Theatres.

(c) Coordination. All installation, maintenance and other services provided by LLC to the Theatres hereunder shall be performed in a manner reasonably expected not to disrupt [Circuit A]’s operations and, except where no practical alternative exists, shall be provided outside of Theatre business hours, as mutually determined by the Parties in their

reasonable discretion. Subject to the preceding sentence and upon advance written notice, LLC and its vendors or subcontractors shall be provided reasonable access to the Theatres and such other support services as reasonably required to install and inspect the Equipment, for such fees as provided in the Specification Documentation, and otherwise as required to perform LLC’s obligations under this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, and with respect to the installation of Equipment in Newbuild Theatres only, LLC agrees (i) to cooperate with [Circuit A] in coordinating the installation of Equipment with the construction schedule for such Newbuild Theatres, and (ii) to consult with [Circuit A] prior to subcontracting the performance of Equipment installation so as to permit a determination of whether [Circuit A] might itself perform such Equipment installation.

Section 3.05 Upgrades and Modifications. In order to ensure compatibility with, and optimum performance and robustness of, the Digital Content Network and the LLC Equipment (including hardware and software), LLC reserves the right to request of [Circuit A] the replacement, upgrade or modification of any [Circuit A] Equipment installed at any Theatre or the assistance with an upgrade to Software on [Circuit A] Equipment; provided that such requests are equally and timely communicated to each of [Circuit A], [Circuit B] and [Circuit C] (the “Upgrade Request”). In the event of an Upgrade Request, LLC shall provide [Circuit A] as much written notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances, but in no event less than ten (10) business days written notice. LLC and [Circuit A] will negotiate with each other in good faith on the terms of any Upgrade Requests, including cost sharing terms, if any. If LLC and [Circuit A] are not able to come to agreement about an Upgrade Request, LLC may elect to pay for the replacements, upgrades or modifications contained in the Upgrade Request including all reasonable incidental and incremental costs to [Circuit A], and [Circuit A] shall be obligated to permit LLC to perform all necessary work to fulfill the Upgrade Request, provided (i) there is no additional unreimbursed cost to it to accept such replacement, upgrade or modification and (ii) that such replacement, upgrade or modification does not unreasonably interfere with [Circuit A]’s theatre operations and does not include any replacement, upgrade or modification of [Circuit A] software without [Circuit A]’s express prior written consent. LLC agrees that, to the extent practicable, it will develop a system that seeks to minimize the need to enter the Theatres in order to update the Software.

Section 3.06 Network Integration. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Digital Content Network will be integrated with any network for delivery of Digital Cinema Services such that the Services can be delivered over such network.

Section 3.07 Training. To the extent necessary, LLC and [Circuit A], respectively, will provide training services to [Circuit A]’s support staff and customer service and other employees and agents on terms as mutually agreed by the Parties in their reasonable discretion. LLC agrees that it will pay for these training services and they will be adequate to permit [Circuit A] to train its own employees and agents as required to perform under this Agreement. [Circuit A] agrees to provide training services according to any reasonable standards as may be promulgated by LLC in consultation with [Circuit A]. LLC agrees to provide training services, at its cost, to [Circuit A]’s support staff and other employees with respect to any Equipment or Software upgrades or modifications prior to implementation.

Section 3.08 Equipment Maintenance Standard.

(a) Standard; Replacement. During the Term, the Parties shall each use their commercially reasonable efforts (i) to ensure there is no unauthorized access, loss or damage to or theft of Equipment hereunder, and (ii) to prevent piracy or other theft of Inventory exhibited through the use of such Equipment or otherwise in its possession or control. [Circuit A] further agrees to keep all [Circuit A] Equipment, including without limitation Lobby Screens, clean, and to promptly notify LLC if any [Circuit A] Equipment is not functioning properly. [Circuit A] shall promptly arrange to repair or replace any Equipment in its possession (provided the damage interferes with the delivery of the Service) that is lost, stolen, damaged or otherwise fails to function or becomes inoperable, other than because of LLC’s failure to properly maintain the Equipment as set forth in Section 3.08(b).

(b) Performance of Repair and Replacement. Subject to the terms of this Section 3.08(b) and of Section 3.08(c) below regarding cost, the repair and replacement of Equipment shall be performed by LLC until such time as [Circuit A] elects to assume this responsibility by giving written notice to LLC. [[Addition to AMC ESA:] For purposes of this Agreement, [Circuit A] has assumed the responsibility for maintenance of all [Circuit A] Equipment in its Theatres. Subject to mutual agreement of [Circuit A] and LLC, the Parties may later provide for LLC to assume responsibility of repair and replacement of Equipment in the Theatres, consistent with LLC’s practice with the other Founding Members.] If [Circuit A] assumes this responsibility to perform replacement or repair but fails to maintain the [Circuit A] Equipment at a performance level substantially similar to the LLC Equipment, then LLC shall promptly provide [Circuit A] written notice of such failure and if such failure is not cured within [30] days, LLC shall be entitled to repair, or if repair is not reasonably possible, replace such LLC Equipment not so maintained and deduct the cost of such replacement from [Circuit A]’s Theatre Access Fees.

(c) Repair Costs. So long as LLC is performing repair and replacement of Equipment, LLC shall pay the costs of repair (but not replacement, which is the responsibility of [Circuit A]). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.08, LLC shall not be required or requested to make any expenditures that (i) would constitute a capital expenditure for LLC under GAAP or (ii) would have otherwise been payable by [Circuit A]’s insurance provider; provided, however, LLC shall be responsible for all costs to repair or replace Equipment to the extent damaged as a result of the negligence or misconduct of LLC and/or its subcontractors.

(d) Condition. Subject to the foregoing, for purposes of ongoing maintenance, LLC shall keep and maintain Equipment installed in the Theatres in good condition and repair at its sole expense (with the exception of projector bulb replacement and equipment replacement, the cost of which shall be borne by [Circuit A]), and in a manner consistent with the Service Level Agreement set forth in the Specification Documentation and as may be reasonably amended by mutual agreement of LLC and [Circuit A] from time to time. [[Add to AMC ESA:] In the event that LLC and [Circuit A] agree that LLC should assume responsibility for maintenance of [Circuit A] Equipment pursuant to Section 3.08(b), the Service Level Agreement shall be amended substantially in the form of the Service Xxxxx

Agreement used by LLC with other parties for whom LLC maintains in-Theatre Equipment.] The Parties agree to consult with each other on a regular basis during the Term in an attempt to reduce maintenance costs arising from redundancies in the Parties’ respective service fleets. Upon advance notice to [Circuit A], [Circuit A] shall provide LLC and/or its subcontractors reasonable access to the Equipment and such other support services as LLC and/or its subcontractors reasonably require to provide maintenance and repair services as required hereunder.

LLC further covenants that the Lobby Promotions will not diminish or tarnish the reputation of [Circuit A] or unreasonably disrupt Theatre operations, including, without limitation, traffic flow or noise level, each as determined in [Circuit A]’s reasonable discretion, and that Lobby Promotions will comply with the content standards set forth in Section 4.03.

[Circuit A] and LLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver to assignment of any Non-Assignable Legacy Agreement and in the meantime [Circuit A] shall pay to LLC all proceeds from any Legacy Agreement. To the extent that any waiver referred to in this Section 4.06(b) is not obtained by [Circuit A], [Circuit A] shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to, at the request of LLC, enforce for the account of LLC any right of [Circuit A] arising from any Non-Assignable Legacy Agreement. LLC shall perform the obligations of [Circuit A] under or in connection with any Non-Assignable Legacy Agreement, except to the extent that LLC is not provided the benefits thereof in any material respect pursuant to this Section 4.06(b).

Section 4.07 Other [Circuit A] Advertising Agreements.

(b) Non-Theatre Advertising. [Circuit A] may enter into a cross-marketing arrangement designed to promote the Theatres and the movie-going experience with a local, regional or nationally-known vendor of products or services that are not of the type described in Theatre Advertising for the purpose of generating increased attendance at the Theatres or increased revenue for [Circuit A] (other than revenue from any Service) (the “Strategic Relationship”) with advertising of such products or services being presented in the Theatres (either in the Video Display Program or in Lobby Promotions) (“Strategic Programs”), subject to the terms set forth in this Section 4.07(b). Strategic Programs may not be made on an exclusive basis. [Circuit A] covenants that it shall not re-sell any Advertising Services, including those received in connection with Strategic Programs. Strategic Programs shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i) [Circuit A] may conduct at no cost with respect to any Strategic Programs no more than (A) two (2) local or regional promotions per Flight per Theatre and (B) four (4) national promotions per year; provided, however, that no more than one national promotion may run at any time (the “Client Limitation”). By means of illustration, the Client Limitation for national promotions are not limited to a Flight, accordingly, one national promotion may run for twelve months, two national promotions may run for six months each provided that they do not run at the same time, four national promotions may run for three months each provided that they do not run at the same time, or another combination of national promotions may be used if there are no more than four promotions within a twelve-month period. For purposes of this Section 4.07(b), each continuously running promotion is counted as one promotion, regardless of whether such promotion is displayed using only one element (e.g., Lobby Screens) or displayed in an integrated basis using multiple elements (e.g., Lobby Screens and Lobby Promotions). Additionally, for purposes of this Section 4.07(b), a local or regional promotion is a promotion that is exhibited in Theatres located within one or two contiguous Designated Marketing Areas (as defined by the term DMA®, a registered trademark of Xxxxxxx Marketing Research, Inc.), and a national promotion is a promotion that is exhibited in Theatres located within two (other than two contiguous) or more Designated Marketing Areas.

(ii) With respect to Strategic Programs in the Video Display Program (“Strategic LEN Promotions”), [Circuit A] may utilize at no cost up to one minute of time for its Strategic Programs per every thirty (30) minutes of the Video Display Program advertising.

Any purchase of time for Strategic LEN Promotions in excess of the two minutes

described above or any utilization of Strategic LEN Promotions in excess of the Client Limitation may be obtained at rate card rates and subject to availability, only with prior written consent of LLC, acting in its sole discretion. Strategic LEN Promotions may not be displayed on any Lobby Screens that, pursuant to Section 4.01(c), are displaying internal programming of [Circuit A] and may not be made to promote any film, film studio(s), distributor(s) or production company(ies).

(iii) With respect to Strategic Programs through Lobby Promotions (“Strategic Lobby Promotions”), [Circuit A] may utilize only such type and number of Inventory that is available to LLC in the applicable Theatre(s) on a pre-approved basis; provided, however, vehicle/motorcycle displays and floor mats will not be available for use in Strategic Lobby Promotions. [Circuit A] may purchase an additional amount of Inventory in excess of the Strategic Lobby Promotions described above or in excess of the Client Limitation at rate card rates and subject to availability, only with prior written consent of LLC, acting in its sole discretion.

Section 4.08 [Circuit A] Run-Out Obligations.

(i) Agreements with advertisers that purchase advertising are Legacy Agreements and do not create Run-Out Obligations. [Circuit A] shall, effective upon acquisition of the Acquisition Theatre, terminate any agreements between [Circuit A] and an Affiliate relating to advertising, promotional and event activities and services in any Acquisition Theatre, so that any such agreements do not create Run-Out Obligations.

(ii) [Circuit A] and/or its Affiliates (as applicable) shall be permitted to abide by the terms of the Run-Out Obligations; however, [Circuit A] agrees, subject to legal constraints (if any), to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the termination of such Run-Out Obligations, including without limitation neither extending nor renewing such Run-Out Obligations (provided that [Circuit A] shall have no obligation to make any payment in connection with obtaining the termination of such Run-Out Obligations). [Circuit A] further agrees not to enter into any new agreement with any third party with respect to any Encumbered Theatre, or amend or modify any Run-Out Obligation, to the extent such agreement, amendment or modification would be inconsistent with the rights of LLC under Section 2.04 or have the effect of any extension. Prior to the expiration of the Run-Out Obligations, each Encumbered Theatre may, upon the mutual agreement of LLC and [Circuit A], become a Theatre with respect to some or all Services, provided such election does not create a default under any Run-Out Obligation. In any event, except in accordance with Section 4.13 (Excluded Theatres; IMAX Screens) or as may be mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, each Encumbered Theatre shall automatically become a Theatre, for all purposes hereof, no later than the expiration of the Run-Out Obligations with respect to such Encumbered Theatre.

(b) Exclusive Run-Out Obligations. With respect to each Service for which the third party to the Run-Out Obligations has exclusive rights as a service provider, if [Circuit A] has provided LLC with written notice of [Circuit A]’s intent to receive additional equity in LLC with respect to the Encumbered Theatres pursuant to the Unit Adjustment Agreement, [Circuit A] shall, until such Run-Out Obligations have terminated, make a quarterly Exclusivity Run-Out Payment (as defined in Schedule 1) to LLC. Any such payments shall be made on or before the last day of LLC’s fiscal month following the fiscal quarter in which [Circuit A] receives the Services from the third party to the Run-Out Obligations.

(c) Non-Exclusive Run-Out Obligations. With respect to each Service for which the third party to the Run-Out Obligations has non-exclusive rights as a service provider, if [Circuit A] has provided LLC with written notice of [Circuit A]’s intent to receive additional equity in LLC with respect to the Encumbered Theatres pursuant to the Unit Adjustment Agreement, [Circuit A] shall, until such Run-Out Obligations have terminated, pay LLC ***. Any such payments shall be made on or before the last day of LLC’s fiscal month following the fiscal quarter in which [Circuit A] receives third party payment for the Services.

(d) Beverage Agreement Advertising Rate and Encumbered Theatres. If [Circuit A] has provided LLC with written notice of [Circuit A]’s intent to receive additional equity in LLC with respect to the Encumbered Theatres prior to termination of the Run-Out Obligations pursuant to the Unit Adjustment Agreement, the attendance at Encumbered Theatres shall be included in the calculation of the Beverage Agreement Advertising Rate.

Section 4.09 License. LLC hereby grants to [Circuit A] and its Affiliates a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable license in the Theatres only (i) to receive, store, display and exhibit the Digital Content Service, the Traditional Content Program and the Digital Carousel, as applicable, on the LLC Equipment and the [Circuit A] Equipment solely in connection with its performance of and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) subject to LLC’s prior written consent, to prepare and distribute promotional materials based, in whole or in part, on the Service solely to the extent necessary to promote the Service as permitted in Section 6.03 below. [Circuit A] may not alter intentionally the Digital Content Service, the Traditional Content Program or the Digital Carousel or otherwise intentionally exhibit the Digital Content Service, the Traditional Content Program or the Digital Carousel in a manner resulting in a change to the Digital Content Service, Traditional Content Program or Digital Carousel or any related on-screen Inventory, nor may [Circuit A] use or make the Digital Content Service, Traditional Content Program or Digital Carousel available for any purpose, at any location, or in any manner not specifically authorized by this Agreement, including without limitation recording, copying or duplicating the Digital Content Service, Traditional Content Service or Digital Carousel or any portion thereof. [Circuit A] shall at all times receive and exhibit the Digital Content Service or Traditional Content Program and Digital Carousel in accordance with such policies and procedures of LLC that are provided in advance to [Circuit A] and consistently applied with respect to other exhibitors from time to time.

[Circuit A] shall have the right to designate art house and draft house theatres that for purposes of this Agreement shall be “Excluded Theatres”; provided, however, that the aggregate annual attendance at all such Excluded Theatres on the date of designation shall not exceed four (4) percent of the aggregate annual attendance at the Theatres. The list of Excluded Theatres identified as of the Effective Date is set forth in the Specification Documentation. [Circuit A] shall provide written or electronic notice to LLC, in the form specified by LLC, each time there is a change in its list of Excluded Theatres. Excluded Theatres shall not be deemed Theatres for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that

upon mutual agreement of the Parties one or more Excluded Theatres may participate in Digital Programming Services and Meeting Services pursuant to Article 6. Excluded Theatres will not receive Advertising Services; provided, however, that upon mutual agreement of the Parties one or more Excluded Theatres may participate in Event Sponsorships with respect to a particular event included in the Digital Programming Services. Excluded Theatres will not be considered for purposes of the calculation of Theatre Access Fees (although [Circuit A] will be entitled to the revenue share allocable for Digital Programming and Meeting Services events in Excluded Theatres, as set forth in Exhibit B). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excluded Theatres will be subject to the exclusivity obligations of [Circuit A], as set forth in Section 2.04 to the same extent as a Theatre hereunder. With respect to any Theatre subsequently designated as an Excluded Theatre, the parties will negotiate in good faith terms for the discontinuation of delivery of the Service to such Excluded Theatre.

(b) IMAX Screens. All Theatre screens dedicated to the exhibition of films using “IMAX” technology shall be deemed “IMAX Screens.” IMAX Screens will not receive, and [Circuit A] will have no duty to exhibit on any IMAX Screen, the Digital Carousel, the Pre-Feature Program or the Traditional Content Program; provided however, that [Circuit A] may elect to exhibit the Digital Carousel, the Pre-Feature Program or the Traditional Content Program on its IMAX Screens in its sole discretion.

[Circuit A] will provide LLC reasonable advance written notice of any promotion under this Section 4.14 (collectively, “Special Promotions”) and LLC will have the

right to approve each such Special Promotion. LLC may not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval, provided that LLC shall be permitted to withhold its approval from any such Special Promotion that is inconsistent with any exclusive obligation of LLC then in force, or otherwise interferes with the current or proposed business activities of LLC as reasonably determined by LLC. Any cash consideration paid by a third party in connection with a Special Promotion relating to any Service shall be paid to LLC.

Section 4.15 Consultation regarding Certain Advertising Agreements.

(a) Theatre Advertising. Prior to either Party entering into an exclusive agreement for longer than one Flight with any third party for Theatre Advertising, the contracting Party will give the other Party written notice not less than [twenty (20)] days in advance of the contract date, and the Parties will consult in good faith to confirm that such exclusive arrangement does not conflict with any exclusive arrangements the other Party has entered into or contemplates entering into; provided however, this notice shall not apply to entry into the Beverage Agreement by [Circuit A]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Parties have satisfied the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.15(a) and identified a conflict of interest regarding an agreement with exclusivity, [Circuit A]’s exclusivity interests shall prevail.

(b) Strategic Relationships. [Circuit A] shall not enter into any Strategic Relationship that conflicts with any existing or proposed exclusive advertising or promotional arrangement between LLC and a third party for which LLC has provided prior written notice, which may be by electronic mail, to [Circuit A]’s designated representative(s) of such existing or proposed exclusive arrangement, including the identity of the other party, the length of time, and type of category of such exclusive arrangement, and specifically in connection with a proposed exclusive arrangement the anticipated start date of such arrangement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, LLC shall only be required to make any payment of moneys (including a refund of amounts paid by the applicable advertiser) in the event that the reason that the applicable Inventory was not exhibited or was exhibited in an incorrect position was primarily a result of actions or inactions by LLC (or its designees or assigns) and the applicable advertising agreement does not allow, or LLC otherwise does not provide, a remedy of exhibition of “make good” Inventory.

Section 15.07 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.02 and the Parties’ agreement that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement and is hereby disclaimed by the Parties:

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the Parties.

(b) Jurisdiction. Each Party hereto agrees that any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement shall be brought or otherwise commenced exclusively in any state or federal court located in Delaware or in New York, New York. Subject to the preceding sentence, each Party hereto:

(i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of each state and federal court located in New York, New York (and each appellate court located in the State of New York) in connection with any such legal proceeding, including to enforce any settlement, order or award;

(ii) consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by the laws of the State of New York, and agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 15.01 is reasonably calculated to give actual notice;

(iii) agrees that each state and federal court located in New York, New York shall be deemed to be a convenient forum;

(iv) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any state or federal court located in New York, New York, any claim that such Party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court; and

(v) agrees to the entry of an order to enforce any resolution, settlement, order or award made pursuant to this Section by the state and federal courts located in New York, New York and in connection therewith hereby waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, any claim that such resolution, settlement, order or award is inconsistent with or violative of the laws or public policy of the laws of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction.

In the event of any action or other proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party (as determined by the court) shall be entitled to payment by the non-prevailing party of all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the prevailing party, including any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any challenge to the jurisdiction or the convenience or propriety of venue of proceedings before any state or federal court located in New York, New York.

Section 15.08 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any third party without the other Party’s prior written consent. Either Party may fulfill their respective obligations hereunder by using third-party vendors or subcontractors; provided, however that such Party shall remain fully and primarily responsible to ensure that such obligations are satisfied. [Circuit A] acknowledges and agrees that in the event of assignment or transfer by the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, the failure to obtain (by operation of law or otherwise) an agreement in writing by assignee/transferee to be bound by the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if such assignee/transferee were a party hereto (an “Assignment and Assumption”) of its interest in this Agreement in respect of such assets as part of the sale shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not be assignable by either Party unless the assignee enters into an Assignment and Assumption. A Permitted Transfer shall not be deemed an assignment or transfer for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, any Permitted Transfer by assignment to an Affiliate of [Circuit A] shall be (i) conditioned upon (A) the transferee entering into an Assignment and Assumption, (B) [Circuit A] agreeing in writing to remain bound by the obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) effective only so long as the Affiliate remains an Affiliate of transferee. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be void.

Section 15.09 Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either Party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond the control of such Party, provided that such Party uses commercially reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other Party of the circumstances causing the delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.

Section 15.10 Third Party Beneficiary. The Parties hereto do not intend, nor shall any clause be interpreted, to create under this Agreement any obligations or benefits to, or rights in, any third party from either LLC or [Circuit A]. Neither Party hereto is granted any right or authority to assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of, or in the name of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any matter or thing whatever. No Affiliate of either Party shall have any liability or obligation pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party shall be solely responsible, and each Party agrees to look solely to the other, for the satisfaction of such other Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 15.11 Export.

(a) LLC’s Software and Confidential Information.

EXHIBIT B

A. Creative Services (See Section 4.05(a))

LLC will provide [Circuit A] with up to 1,000 hours per year associated with Creative Services in conjunction with the creation of certain elements of the Pre-Feature Program (including the Policy Trailer, the Brand, and the Branded Slots) and Video Display Program at no charge. Additional hours will be billed as set forth in item 2 below. The Creative Services provided at no cost may not include creation of Strategic Programs.

“Creative Services” include the provision of (i) concept work, idea creation, scripting, treatments, storyboarding, timelines and animatics, (ii) execution, animation, production, post production, sound design, final encoding and the preparation of all deliverables, and (iii) project management, meetings, communications, sub contractor management and all administrative activity related to said creative services.

Allocated 1,000 Hours Per Year

All projects will be quoted on a GMH (Guaranteed Maximum Hours) basis by which the Parties will agree to the concept and execution plan of the project. This agreement may be based on treatments, scripts, storyboards, timelines or animatics and will define the intended scope of all creative projects. LLC will guarantee the total maximum hours allocated to the project regardless of actual hours invested so long as the defined scope is not increased. Scope increases may cause LLC to allocate more hours to a project and therefore could cause overruns in the project’s GMH, resulting in additional hours (and possibly fees). In all cases, any work resulting in overruns will be communicated to [Circuit A] by LLC prior to the work actually being done.

There is no specific deliverable attached to the accrual of hours, meaning that any project cancelled, put on hold, or for which production may extend beyond the anniversary of the agreement, will still have hours accrued against it that were incurred in that corresponding year. At the end of each calendar year, the balance of hours will be zeroed out. Unused hours will not carry forward. LLC shall provide a quarterly status report to [Circuit A] of all hours spent on any particular project as well as the amount of hours spent on an aggregate basis for all projects in any given calendar year.

Additional Work

Upon the utilization of 1,000 hours of Creative Services provided by LLC to [Circuit A] on any combination of projects within one calendar year, LLC will begin charging exhibitor $*** per hour for all additional hours, subject to the CPI Adjustment. These charges will be consistent for all Creative Services provided across all creative groups within LLC.

B. Beverage Agreement Advertising Rate (See Section 4.06(a))

The initial Beverage Agreement Advertising Rate is $*** per thousand attendees in [Circuit A] Attendance for a 30-second advertisement. The Beverage Agreement Advertising

B-1

Rate shall (i) increase 8% per year for each of the first two fiscal years beginning at the end of LLC’s 2007 fiscal year; (ii) beginning at the end of the period set forth in (i) above, increase 6% per year for each of the next two fiscal years; and (iii) beginning at the end of the period set forth in (ii) above, increase in an amount equal to the annual percentage increase in the advertising rates per thousand attendees charged by LLC to unaffiliated third parties (excluding the advertising associated with the Beverage Agreement) for on-screen advertising in the Pre-Feature Program during the last six minutes preceding the start of the feature film for each fiscal year for the remainder of the Term, but in no event more than the highest advertising rate per thousand attendees being then-charged by LLC.

The rate for a longer or shorter advertisement shall be adjusted based on a multiple or percentage of the 30-second rate. For illustrative purposes, the initial Beverage Agreement Advertising Rate for 90 seconds of advertising as of the Effective Date would be $***. The Beverage Agreement Advertising Rate of $*** agreed to by the Parties is a discounted rate due to the length of the Agreement and the initial commitment to purchase 90 seconds of advertising.

C. Digital Programming (See Article 6)

Revenue Share

[Circuit A] will retain 15% of Net Ticket Revenue for tickets sold pursuant to Digital Programming Services and 100% of all Concession sales. “Net Ticket Revenue” means all ticket revenue, net of taxes and refunds, excluding “Comp Passes” distributed for marketing purposes, which shall not exceed 25 per Theatre. If Comp Passes exceed 25 per Theatre, LLC shall reimburse [Circuit A] Net Ticket Revenue for such Comp Passes exceeding 25 per Theatre.

LLC shall distribute to the participating Founding Members a total of 15% of net revenue received in the form of cash or non-cash consideration pursuant to any Event Sponsorship or other promotional fee for a Digital Programming event. A percentage of the 15% Founding Members’ share of revenue for such Event Sponsorship or other promotional fee shall be allocated to [Circuit A] based upon the number of tickets sold (excluding Comp Passes) at Theatres for the Digital Programming event divided by the number of total tickets sold at all theatres of participating Founding Members (excluding Comp Passes) for the Digital Programming Services event.

Availability

LLC is pre-approved to schedule Digital Programming in a minimum of one auditorium in any Digitized Theatre that (i) has the requisite technology to exhibit the specific Digital Programming event and (ii) has more than 12 auditoriums.

B. Exhibitor Allocation

Formula1

Exhibitor Allocation = (Screen Factor * [Circuit A] Screen Ratio) + (Attendance Factor * [Circuit A] Attendance Ratio); where:

(1)

Screen Factor = 1 - Attendance Factor

(2)

[Circuit A] Screen Ratio = [Circuit A] Screen Count / ([Circuit A] Screen Count + [Circuit B] Screen Count + [Circuit C] Screen Count)

(a)

Screen Count (for each of [Circuit A], [Circuit B] and [Circuit C]) = Screen Number for that exhibitor during the applicable measurement period

(b)

Screen Number = Number of screens available in the exhibitor’s Theatres on each day of the applicable measurement period to exhibit Inventory / Total number of days in the applicable measurement period

(3)

Attendance Factor = Percentage of advertising revenue attributable to contracts with pricing based on any factor other than number of screens (e.g., pricing based on attendance or flat fee) compared to total advertising revenue, as calculated on the first day of each fiscal quarter

(4)

[Circuit A] Attendance Ratio = [Circuit A] Attendance / ([Circuit A] Attendance + [Circuit B] Attendance + [Circuit C] Attendance)

(a)

Attendance (for each of [Circuit A], [Circuit B] and [Circuit C]) = Total number of patrons in all of the exhibitor’s Theatre auditoriums during the applicable measurement period

1	The meaning of each term used in this exhibitor allocation formula is qualified by the Definitions section of this Schedule 1.

C. Theatre Access Fee

Formula2 for Monthly Payments of Theatre Access Fee and Annual Payments of Supplemental Theatre Access Fee

Theatre Access Fee = [Circuit A] Theatre Access Pool + 4.03 Theatre Access Fee; where:

(1)

[Circuit A] Theatre Access Pool = [Circuit A] Theatre Access Attendance Fee + [Circuit A] Theatre Access Screen Fee

(a)

[Circuit A] Theatre Access Attendance Fee = Theatre Access Fee per Patron * [Circuit A] Attendance

(i)

Theatre Access Fee per Patron = $0.07 per patron (subject to an increase of 8% every five years, with the first such increase occurring after the end of LLC’s 2011 fiscal year)

(ii)

[Circuit A] Attendance = Number of patrons in all Theatre auditoriums that exhibit the advertising

(b)

[Circuit A] Theatre Access Screen Fee = Theatre Access Fee per Digital Screen * [Circuit A] Digital Screen Count

(i)

Theatre Access Fee per Digital Screen = $66.67 per Digital Screen (subject to a 5% annual increase, beginning after the end of LLC’s 2007 fiscal year)

(ii)

[Circuit A] Digital Screen Count = Number of screens in Digitized Theatres that exhibit advertising

(2)

4.03 Theatre Access Fee = ([Circuit A] 4.03 Opt-In Revenue – [Circuit A] 4.03 Opt-Out Revenue) * Theatre Access Pool Percentage

(a)

[Circuit A] 4.03 Opt-In Revenue = For each advertising campaign that is displayed by [Circuit A] and contains content not displayed by [Circuit B] or [Circuit C] pursuant to Section 4.03(i), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of this Agreement, the aggregate of the products obtained from the following calculation:

4.03 Revenue for that advertising campaign * ([Circuit A] Attendance / Aggregate 4.03 Opt-In Attendance)

(i)

[Circuit A] Attendance = See Section B of this Schedule

(ii)

Aggregate 4.03 Opt-In Attendance = Sum of [Circuit A] Attendance, [Circuit B] Attendance and [Circuit C] Attendance, as applicable, for the Founding Members that displayed such 4.03 content

[Circuit A] Opt-Out Revenue = For each advertising campaign that is not displayed in all Theatres pursuant to [Circuit A]’s decision under Section 4.03(viii) or (ix) of this Agreement or lack of equipment to display the Video Display Program, the aggregate of the products obtained by the following calculation:

4.03 Revenue for that advertising campaign * ([Circuit A] 4.03 Opt-Out Attendance / 4.03 Participating Attendance)

(i)

[Circuit A] 4.03 Opt-Out Attendance = [Circuit A] Attendance during the applicable fiscal month at Theatres that did not display content pursuant to Section 4.03(viii) or (ix) of this Agreement or because of lack of equipment to display the Video Display Program

(ii)

4.03 Participating Attendance = Sum of [Circuit A] Attendance, [Circuit B] Attendance and [Circuit C] Attendance at Theatres, [Circuit B] Theatres and [Circuit C] Theatres that displayed such content
