WDP shall, to the extent reported and accounted to WDP, treat all such receipts received and earned by the Subdistributor, and all distribution costs incurred by the Subdistributor as though such receipts were received and earned by WDP and such distribution costs were incurred by WDP; and the licensing or other arrangement between WDP and each Subdistributor shall not be taken into account in WDP's accounting to Artist under this Exhibit DRCB.

Amounts received from advance payments or security deposits unless earned by exhibition or broadcast, or (subject to Paragraph 1.1.A.2) unconditionally non-returnable, and refunds, rebates or adjustments granted to other Persons by WDP.

Amounts payable in foreign currency and not received by WDP in the U.S. due to remittance restrictions ("Restricted Funds").

Upon WDP's receipt of such notice and all required permissions, such payment shall be made to Artist's representative at Artist's expense.

ACCOUNTING

2.1.

Statements

WDP shall give Artist quarterly summary statements relating to the calculation of Artist's Defined Receipts Contingent Bonus for the first two years after the date established by WDP as the date of first general release of the Picture in the U.S. (or if there is no U.S. general release, then upon general release outside the U.S.); semiannually for the next two years; and annually thereafter if any Defined Receipts Contingent Bonus is payable to Artist or, if none due, only on Artist's written request, provided such request is made not more than once per year. Statements shall be issued within 90 days after the end of each accounting period and accompanied with payment of any amount shown due Artist. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Picture has been made available for U.S. TV syndication and the first statement thereafter issued shows that more than $500,000 in Defined Receipts would be needed before Artist would be entitled to receive Defined Receipts Contingent Bonus, WDP shall have no further obligation to render statements to Artist. If the Picture is generally reissued in the U.S. theatrically, then WDP shall resume quarterly statements for one year from the date of such reissue and thereafter in accordance with the above.

2.2.

Incontestability

Statements are subject to correction or amendment by WDP at any time. Each statement and all matters of accounting and methodology are conclusive and binding on Artist 24 months after each statement is issued, unless Artist objects in writing within that 24 month period, specifying in detail the particular items on the statement and the nature of the objection(s). If the objections are raised timely, but are not resolved, Artist may initiate a claim with respect to such objections, provided such claim is instituted within 6 months following the date of the initial written objection or prior to the expiration of the period of the applicable statute of limitations, whichever occurs first. Artist may not institute or maintain a claim against WDP with respect to any item or transaction on a statement, whether in a lawsuit, an arbitration or any other proceeding unless Artist has first provided WDP with a timely and detaile written objection to such item or transaction. WDP must keep books of account for any given transaction on a statement for 24 months after the initial reporting of such transaction. All time periods referred to in this paragraph commence upon issuance of the first statement on which any particular transaction is reflected, and the reappearance of a transaction in cumulative statements shall not cause the running of any time period to toll or recommence.

2.3.

Books

The items reflected in the statements, to the extent they have not become incontestable or have not been previously examined, may be examined at Artist's expense, once in each 12 month period (the first of which commences upon issuance of the first statement hereunder). Such statements may only be examined by a national firm of reputable CPA's, the selection of which is subject to WDP's approval not to be unreasonably withheld. WDP shall make available for examination those books of account with respect to the distribution of the Picture which WDP customarily maintains at its Burbank-area offices Each examination of any statement or statements for a particular accounting period must be concluded within the earlier of six months following commencement or an aggregate of 30 examination days. A copy of the report of such examination shall be delivered by Artist to WDP when it is made available to Artist. Artist shall have no right to inspect or copy any tax return of WDP or any Subdistributor, Affiliate or any Related Party, or require the production of any such tax return or any information contained therein.

2.4.

Withholdings

All amounts payable to Artist under this Agreement shall be subject to all present and future laws and regulations requiring the reporting, deduction or withholding of payments for taxes or otherwise. WDP shall have the right to make such deductions and withholdings, and the payment or reporting thereof to the governmental agency concerned in connection with WDP's good faith determination of such laws and regulations shall constitute payment hereunder to Artist. WDP shall not be liable to Artist for the making of such reports, deductions and/or withholdings or the payment thereof to the governmental agency concerned. In any such event, Artist shall have the sole responsibility for bringing and maintaining any claims against third parties regarding such reporting, deductions or withholdings.

2.5.

Address

All statements shall be deemed issued when mailed to Artist at the address for notices under this Agreement.

2.6.

Reserves

WDP shall have the right from time to time and in its business judgment to establish and adjust reserves for any distribution costs, uncollected accounts or other items which WDP believes in its business judgment will be deductible from or credited against Defined Receipts hereunder. WDP agrees to liquidate reserves within an appropriate period of time within WDP's business judgment.

2.7.

Tax Credits

WDP shall have the sole right to take whatever credits (including investment tax credits), deductions or other benefits that may be available throughout the universe, with respect to taxes and excises payable in any way in connection with the Picture or otherwise, without any accounting, credit or payment obligation to Artist.

ADDITIONAL TERMS

3.1.

Arbitration

WDP and Artist agree that any dispute between them concerning the rights and obligations of WDP and Artist under this Exhibit DRCB, whether sounding in contract or tort, may only be adjudicated in accordance with the following procedure:

Either (i) WDP and Artist shall mutually select an arbitrator, or (ii) if they cannot agree on such arbitrator, WDP and Artist shall each select one arbitrator and those two arbitrators shall then select a third arbitrator.

The parties shall arbitrate the dispute in accordance with the then-prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (except to the extent expressly set forth elsewhere in this Exhibit DRCB) and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

For all purposes under this Exhibit DRCB, allocations of Defined Receipts, costs, rights and other matters relating to the Picture and other motion pictures shall be allocated by WDP in its business judgment and in accordance with WDP's prevailing business practice.

With respect to trailers and shorts exhibited with the Picture outside of the U.S. and Canada, Defined Receipts shall be reduced by 3% for trailers and 5% for shorts.

As between WDP and Artist, WDP owns all rights to the Picture and its Defined Receipts and Contingent Proceeds, including the right to encumber, transfer or dispose of them and Artist shall have no right, title or interest therein. Artist acknowledges that its sole right under this Exhibit is a contractual right to contingent compensation in the form of, and measured by, the

WDP, its agents and assigns, in its and their business judgment, shall be entitled to distribute the Picture on a percentage basis or make flat sales, make and cancel contracts, adjust and settle disputes, and give allowances and rebates to distributors, licensees, exhibitors or other Persons whether or not any such entity is owned, operated or controlled by WDP, Affiliates or Related Parties.

WDP shall have complete discretion in determining the extent, if any, to which it will audit or check payments or charges to WDP or assert claims with respect thereto.

Artist acknowledges that WDP is part of a large, diversified international group of affiliated companies engaged in a variety of business activities. WDP has informed Artist that it frequently enters into business transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties, and Artist acknowledges and agrees that WDP is entitled (but is not obligated) to, and may, in its sole discretion, enter into agreements or other arrangements with Affiliates and Related Parties in connection with any or all rights relating to the Picture, including, without limitation, all exploitation rights and all subsidiary, ancillary or other rights relating thereto (the "Exploitation Rights"). Artist hereby acknowledges and agrees that WDP is under no obligation, express or implied, to offer the Exploitation Rights or any part thereof to unaffiliated or unrelated third parties, whether in lieu of or in addition to offering such rights to Affiliates and Related Parties, or to otherwise seek or secure any business arrangements with any unaffiliated or unrelated third parties with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of the Agreement, Artist hereby waives any right to make any claim or seek any relief, whether at law or in equity (specifically including injunctive relief), asserting the existence and/or breach of any such express or implied obligation.

In addition, Artist acknowledges and agrees that any agreement or other arrangement by WDP with an Affiliate or Related Party regarding the Exploitation Rights shall be conclusively presumed to be fair, reasonable and unobjectionable unless Artist shall establish that such agreement or other arrangement is on financial terms which, taken as a whole, are materially less favorable economically to WDP than the terms of Similar Transactions generally entered into by WDP with unaffiliated or unrelated third parties; or if there are no such unaffiliated or unrelated Similar Transactions, then by WDP with Affiliates or Related Parties (as applicable); or if there are no such Similar Transactions with Affiliates or Related Parties, then by Affiliates with any other Affiliate or Related Party (any such materially less favorable agreement or arrangement being hereinafter referred to as a "Less Favorable Arrangement"). For purposes hereof, the term "Similar Transactions" shall mean agreements or other arrangements relating to motion pictures similar to the Picture (including WDP or non-WDP Pictures) which involve rights which are comparable to the Exploitation Rights or any relevant part thereof. WDP and Artist agree that in any arbitration between them under Paragraph 3.1 above, concerning whether WDP has entered into a Less Favorable Arrangement, the arbitrator(s) shall select an independent national accounting firm with entertainment accounting expertise who shall be present with the arbitrator(s) during the arbitration proceedings, and, on the basis of the evidence presented (including any expert testimony presented by the parties and admitted into evidence), shall provide a written report to the arbitrator(s) solely on the issue of whether there was a Less Favorable Transaction; and the above referenced records and report shall be kept in strictest confidence by the accounting firm and disclosed only to the arbitrator(s) who shall have authority, subject to a protective order maintaining the confidentiality of the information to the fullest extent permitted by law, to disclose to the parties only those relevant portions of the report indispensable to the adjudication of the issue. If pursuant to Paragraph 3.1 above, the arbitrator(s) conclude(s) that WDP has entered into a Less Favorable Arrangement with an Affiliate or Related Party, Artist's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the right to receive an adjustment on the next accounting statement when due, including any additional payments that may be required, pursuant to Paragraph 2.1 hereof, modified to the extent required to render such Less Favorable Arrangement not a Less Favorable Arrangement.

3.4.

Sales of All Rights

If after completion and delivery of the Picture to WDP, WDP sells all its right, title and interest in the Picture (other than to an Affiliate or through merger or consolidation), Artist may elect that:

The net sum received by WDP shall constitute Defined Receipts hereunder but further income of purchaser in connection with the Picture shall not be included in Defined Receipts, or,

The net sum received by WDP shall not be included in Defined Receipts and all receipts and expenses (other than the purchase price paid to WDP) of the purchaser relating to the Picture shall be treated for purposes of accounting to Artist, as though they were receipts and expenses of WDP, provided that upon assumption by purchaser of such obligation, the sale shall be considered a novation and WDP shall thereafter have no obligation of any kind to Artist.

Artist's election shall be made within 7 days after WDP notifies Artist in writing that it proposes to make such sale and identifies the purchaser and purchase price. If WDP does not receive written notice of Artist's election within 7 days after issuance of WDP's notice, then WDP shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make such election on Artist's behalf.

3.5.

Assignment by Artist

Artist may assign Artist's right to receive its Defined Receipts Contingent Bonus hereunder in whole or in part, at any time after the release of the Picture, subject to WDP's approval not to be unreasonably withheld and provided that such assignment does not subject WDP to any additional liability in connection with the assignment. However, in no event shall WDP be obligated to account to more than one Person. In any event, WDP's obligation to pay in accordance with any assignment, or designation of a disbursing agent, shall be conditioned on WDP's receipt of written notice thereof, in form satisfactory to WDP, and WDP's payment in accordance therewith shall satisfy WDP's payment obligations to Artist hereunder. Artist's right to examine WDP's books of account shall not be assignable without WDP's prior written consent and in any event shall be limited to one Person.

WDP shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed assignment of Artist's right to receive Defined Receipts Contingent Bonus hereunder upon equivalent terms (to the extent economically matchable) offered to Artist by a bona fide third party. Artist shall notify WDP of the terms of any such proposed assignment and WDP shall have 7 business days within which to elect to accept such terms. Artist shall make no change in such terms which are adverse to Artist's interest without giving WDP the opportunity to accept such changed terms. If WDP does not elect to accept such terms, then Artist shall be free to accept the proposed terms of assignment from such bona fide third party provided that if such proposed assignment is not concluded within 30 days following the expiration of the 7 business day period referred to above, WDP's right of first refusal under this Paragraph 3.5.B shall revive and shall apply to each subsequent offer received by Artist. This Paragraph 3.5.B shall not apply to family gifts.

3.6.

General Terms

This Agreement is not for the benefit of any third party and shall not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, trust or fiduciary obligation between WDP and Artist or make Artist WDP's agent or create a relationship between WDP and Artist other than creditordebtor to the extent amounts are due hereunder.

WDP may, in its business judgment, commingle Contingent Proceeds or Defined Receipts with any other funds.

Nothing in this Exhibit DRCB or the Agreement shall give Artist the right to a lien on the Picture, the Contingent Proceeds or Defined Receipts.

Artist shall not be entitled to interest or any other gain which may accrue as a result of WDP's obligation to pay Artist's Defined Receipts Contingent Bonus (or part thereof) even in the event of a dispute between Artist and WDP concerning the interpretation of this Exhibit DRCB, non-payment hereunder or otherwise.

Headings are for convenience only and are of no effect in construing the contents of this Agreement.

Artist waives any right at law or equity to revoke, terminate, diminish or enjoin any rights granted or acquired by WDP hereunder by reason of a claimed nonpayment of monies allegedly due and payable hereunder, it being agreed that Artist's sole remedy for any such alleged non-payment shall be limited to a claim for any such money that is due and payable hereunder.
