6.	SOUNDTRACK ROYALTY / MUSIC PUBLISHING ROYALTY.

6.1 Subject to (a) the effective grant of the applicable rights pursuant to Section 4 (i.e., provided MVL has or acquires the Music Publishing Rights with respect to a Musical Composition to grant to MRI) or if MRI owns the Music Publishing Rights as a result of an agreement with MVL or the applicable production services company to create such Musical Composition and such agreement grants ownership of the Music Publishing Rights to MRI; and (b) the terms of this Agreement, MRI agrees to pay or cause to be paid to MVL the Music Publishing Royalty set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto.

7. SERVICES FEE AND BACKEND PARTICIPATION. Following an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), if a Picture is produced and MSI or its designee or assignee is not receiving its Affiliate Producer Fee (as defined in the Master Agreement) then MRI or its designee or assignee shall receive for each such Picture a fixed service fee of US$750,000 ("Fixed Services Fee") and Two and One-Half Percent (2.5%) of One Hundred Percent (100%) of the aggregate of Gross Receipts and Co-Financing Amounts (both as defined in the Master Agreement) derived from the exploitation of each Picture ("Back-End Services Fee").

8. CO-PROMOTION/COMMERCIAL TIE-IN RIGHTS. MVL shall not enter into any Co-Promotion/Commercial Tie-In with a theme park without MRI's prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that MVL shall be entitled to withhold its consent in its sole discretion due to any conflict with that certain theme park licensing agreement dated as of March 22, 1994 between MCA Inc. ("MCA") and Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc., as amended ("MCA Agreement"), or any other existing agreement pertaining to theme parks. With respect to the use of "Premiums" (Premiums to be defined as a giveaway, merchandise or other promotional item used by or in connection with Tie-In Partners (e.g., a "Hulk" action figure, cup or t-shirt distributed with children’s' meals at a fast food restaurant), MRI shall have the right to approve all Premiums which approval may be withheld for any reason or no reason. MVL shall fully consult with MRI regarding, and give good faith consideration to, conducting Co-Promotions/Commercial Tie-Ins with MRI's pre-existing promotional partners. MVL shall not at any time enter into any Co-Promotion/Commercial Tie-In agreement, which includes exclusivity provisions or other terms, which would restrict MRI's right to conduct or exercise its Merchandising Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, MRI shall at all times be permitted to conduct MRI Family Co-Promotions/Commercial Tie-Ins. MRI shall have the right, at all times, to conduct co-promotions/commercial tie-ins which do not relate to any Picture. For the purpose of clarity, MRI's exercise of its Reserved Rights and/or the MVL Granted Rights shall not at any time and in any manner whatsoever be deemed to conflict with MVL's Co-Promotions/Commercial Tie-In Rights. Further, the exploitation by MCA of its rights pursuant to the MCA Agreement shall not at any time

and in any manner whatsoever be deemed to conflict with MVL’s Co-Promotion/Commercial Tie-In Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, MVL's Co-Promotions/Commercial Tie-In Rights shall not include "Sponsorship Rights" in any manner or respect. “Sponsorship Rights” are defined as a promotional arrangement between MRI (or a third party which has been authorized by MRI) to conduct a live event and a company, which desires to associate its products or its brand with such live event; provided, however, that Sponsorship Rights shall not preclude MVL from holding a premiere party for the Picture. MRI shall have the right to conduct Co-Promotions/Commercial Tie-In following the expiration of the Co-Promotion/Commercial Tie-In Period.

9. CONSULTATION/APPROVAL. MRI shall have the following consultation and approval rights with respect to MVL's exercise of the Rights in connection with each Picture:

9.1 Consultation Rights.

MRI shall exercise the Consultation Rights in a reasonable manner and not so as to frustrate the full and timely development, production and/or exploitation of each Picture. For the avoidance of doubt, "consultation" shall mean MVL ensuring in advance and in good faith that MRI has the opportunity to participate in connection with the above referenced Consultation Rights.

9.2 Approval Rights. MRI shall have the right to approve ("Approval Rights"): (i) the story or other "first" writing step (including the basic setting); (ii) each draft of the screenplay, including without limitation, the final screenplay; (iii) the powers, costumes, key animation design (if applicable) and "look" of each Main Character, Subsidiary Character, Minor Character and Character Title and any other element not expressly set forth in order to ensure the consistency thereof to the Marvel Handbook or such other source reference material identified by MRI to MVL in writing prior to the commencement of development of a Picture for such Character or Character Title ("Character Integrity"); (iv) the advertising and marketing materials in order to ensure Character Integrity; (v) the creation and use of New Characters, including each New Character's powers, origin story, costume, key animation design (if applicable) and "look"; (vi) the director; (vii) the principal cast members; (viii) the use of any Trademark (as defined in the MCI Assignment Agreement); (ix) the exercise of the Co-Promotion/Commercial Tie-In Rights as set forth in Section 8 above; and (x) edits, dubs, subtitles and other alterations to the Completed Film (as defined in the Master Agreement) made in connection with the marketing, distribution or exploitation of such Completed Film solely in order to ensure Character Integrity.

9.3 Post Event of Default Creative Approval Rights. From and after an Event of Default and following foreclosure on the Collateral (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement), MRI shall not have any of its rights set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 above, but shall instead have the Approval Rights set forth in this Section 9.3, which rights shall be limited to MRI's right to approve: (i) the story or other "first" writing step (including the basic setting) solely in order to ensure Character Integrity; (ii) each draft of the screenplay, including without limitation, the final screenplay solely in order to ensure Character Integrity; (iii) the powers, costumes, key animation design (if applicable) and "look" of each Main Character, Subsidiary Character, Minor Character

and Character Title and any other element not expressly set forth solely in order to ensure Character Integrity; (iv) the advertising and marketing materials solely in order to ensure Character Integrity; (v) the creation and use of New Characters, including each New Character's powers, origin story, costume, key animation design (if applicable) and "look" solely in order to ensure Character Integrity; (vi) the principal cast members solely in order to ensure Character Integrity; (vii) in addition to the approval rights set forth in Section 9.2 above, the exercise of the Co-Promotion/Commercial Tie-In Rights as set forth in Section 8 above solely in order to ensure Character Integrity, and (viii) edits, dubs, subtitles and other alterations to the Completed Film made in connection with the marketing, distribution or exploitation of such Completed Film solely in order to ensure Character Integrity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if for whatever reason this Section 9.3 is not enforceable or otherwise not recognized as a result of the bankruptcy of MVL, MVL and MRI agree that Section 9.2 shall control.

9.4 Approval Procedures. The following procedures shall apply with respect to MRI's Approval Rights in connection with the approvable elements set forth in Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 above, as applicable (the "Approvable Elements"):

9.4.1 Initial Approval or Disapproval. MVL shall, during the development or production of a Picture, or in the case of the Co-Promotion/Commercial Tie-In Rights set forth in Section 8 after production of a Picture, submit to MRI stories, screenplays, special effects tests, storyboards, dailies and other materials in which Approvable Elements are depicted or contained ("Submitted Materials"). If any such Submitted Materials are disapproved by MRI, MRI shall within the applicable Approval Period (as defined below) inform MVL in writing ("Disapproval Notice"), stating with specificity: (i) whether any Approvable Element is disapproved; (ii) the reason for any such disapproval; and (iii) any modifications which would render the submitted Approvable Element acceptable to MRI.

9.4.2 Changed Approvable Elements. Any Approvable Elements depicted or contained in the Submitted Materials to which MRI does not object to in writing during the Approval Period shall be deemed to be approved by MRI. Once MRI approves, or is deemed to have approved, any Approvable Element contained or depicted in Submitted Materials, MRI shall not have any further approval rights regarding such Approvable Elements, unless the depiction of such Approvable Elements in materials subsequently prepared by MVL deviates from the depiction thereof which was approved or deemed approved by MRI ("Changed Approvable Element"). If MRI contends that any materials prepared by MVL contain a Changed Approvable Element to which MRI objects, then within the applicable Approval Period following MRI's first receipt or viewing of the material containing the Changed Approvable Element, MRI will provide MVL with a written Disapproval Notice stating with specificity: (i) the nature of the applicable Approvable Element; (ii) a description of the alteration of such Approvable Element from the version theretofore approved or deemed approved by MRI; (iii) the manner in which such Approvable Element is not acceptable; and (iv) any modifications which would render the Approvable Element acceptable to MRI. Any Changed Approvable Element to which MRI does not deliver a Disapproval Notice to MVL within the applicable Approval Period following MVL's first receipt or viewing of the material containing the Changed Approvable Element shall be deemed to be approved by MRI. MRI shall not have any further approval rights regarding such Approvable Element unless there is a further change to such Approvable Element from the Changed Approvable Element which was approved or deemed approved by MRI, in which event the procedure set forth in this Section 9.4.2 shall be repeated. Any Approvable Element or Changed Approvable Element

depicted or contained in the Submitted Materials to which Marvel duly objects in writing during the applicable Approval Period shall be deemed to be a "Disapproved Element."

9.4.3 Approval Periods. The "Approval Period" shall mean the following periods, as applicable:

9.4.3.1 For anything in writing (e.g., the story, treatment, drafts of the screenplay or final screenplay), ten (10) business days after MRI's receipt of the applicable materials; provided, that if MRI does not respond within the applicable time period, MVL shall provide MRI with written notice that MVL has not received a response from MRI and MRI shall then have three (3) business days (reduced to twenty-four (24) hours during active principal photography) after MRI's receipt of such written notice to respond.

9.4.3.2 For all other Approvable Elements, ten (10) business days (reduced to two (2) business days during active principal photography) after MRI's receipt of the applicable materials; provided, that if MRI does not respond within the applicable time period, MVL shall provide MRI with written notice that MVL has not received a response from MRI and MRI shall then have three (3) business days (reduced to twenty-four (24) hours during active principal photography) after MRI's receipt of such written notice to respond.

9.5 MVL Licensees. MVL shall contractually obligate each third party authorized by MVL to exercise all or any part of the Rights to comply with the Approval Rights, including without limitation, those regarding Character Integrity.

MVL shall not utilize in any Picture any Approvable Element or Changed Approvable Element which MRI and MVL agree is a Disapproved Element, or, if MVL and MRI do not agree, which has been finally determined by the Arbitrator (as defined below), by clear and convincing evidence, to be a Disapproved Element (i.e., which the Arbitrator finds to have been timely disapproved and not to have been approved, or deemed approved, by MRI).

10. PRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONS. In addition to the specifications contained in the definition of "Picture" in Section 1 hereof, each Picture produced and completed by MVL shall conform to the following production specifications:

10.1 Below the Line. The below-the-line production budget of each Picture shall not be less than the entertainment industry average for major theatrical motion pictures released during the prime summer or prime holiday release windows (i.e., a summer event or holiday event movie) unless otherwise agreed in advance by MRI; and

10.2 Approvals over Third Party Merchandising Controls. MVL shall have the right to engage approved actors, approved directors and other creative talent in connection with the

15.5 Except as set forth in Schedule 3.3(C) of the MCI Assignment Agreement: (i) no infringement or misappropriation of any of the Property has occurred that would reasonably be likely to materially impair the Rights; (ii) no claim of any infringement, misappropriation, or violation of any Property has been made or asserted that would reasonably be likely to materially impair the Rights; (iii) no claims, lawsuits or proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of MRI, threatened that challenge the validity, ownership or use of any of the Property which would be reasonably likely to materially impair the grant of the Rights; and (iv) MRI has not received any notice of any filing of any termination of any Copyright. MVL acknowledges and agrees that the mere assertion by a third party of any claim referenced above (whether or not such claim is asserted in connection with litigation) shall not constitute a breach by MRI of this Section 15.5.

15.6 Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.3(C) of the MCI Assignment Agreement, all authors, creators, employees, agents, consultants or contractors who have contributed to or participated in the creation or development of the Property: (i) created such materials in the scope of his or her employment; (ii) is a party to a "work-for-hire" agreement or other documentation under which MCI (or any such predecessor-in-interest) is deemed, acknowledged, claims, or on which MCI (or any predecessor in interest) has relied on, such documentation to include the work-made-for-hire stamp and voucher system described on Schedule 3.3(F) of the MCI Assignment Agreement, to be the original owner/author of all right, title and interest therein; or (iii) has executed an assignment in favor of MCI (or any such predecessor in interest) of all right, title and interest in such material.

15.7 The Property and the Rights as exploited by MRI and their uses comply with all applicable requirements of Laws and Court Orders (as each such term is defined in the MCI Assignment Agreement).

15.8 MRI has complied with all requirements of Laws and Court Orders which are applicable to the Rights.

15.9 Current Licenses. MRI will not enter into any license of or pertaining to the Rights other than this Agreement and other than as would not conflict with the terms of this Agreement.

15.10 No Impairment. MRI will not knowingly do any act or thing that will materially interfere with MVL's exploitation of the Rights herein granted, conveyed or which will impair, impede, invalidate or Encumber any such Rights; provided, however, that the mere assertion by a third party of a claim (whether or not such claim is asserted in connection with litigation) shall not constitute a breach by MRI of this Section 15.10.

15.11 Trademark Registrations. MRI will use its good faith efforts to register the title of each Picture with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and in such foreign jurisdictions as MRI may reasonably elect.

Notwithstanding the representations, warranties and covenants above, MVL acknowledges and agrees that no representations or warranties, whether express or implied are made or deemed made with respect to the Minor Characters.

The representations and warranties of each of MRI and MVL shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the warranties and representations of the parties shall not survive and shall not be deemed to apply in the event of a termination by reason of the failure of the Conditions Precedent.

16. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF MVL. MVL represents, warrants and covenants to MRI as follows:

16.1 Valid Existence. MVL is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full limited liability company power and authority to conduct its business as set forth herein and to grant the rights granted hereunder.

16.2

Authority; No Conflict.

(a) This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of MVL, enforceable against MVL in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). MVL has the absolute and unrestricted right, power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery by MVL of this Agreement and the grant of the MVL Granted Rights hereunder has been authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of MVL.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not directly or indirectly: (i) result in (with or without notice or lapse of time) a violation or breach of, or conflict with or constitute a default or result in the termination or in a right of termination or cancellation of, or accelerate the performance required by, or require notice under, any agreement which would materially impair the grant of the MVL Granted Rights; (ii) violate any order, writ, judgment, injunction, ruling, award or decree of any Governmental Body binding on MVL; (iii) violate any statute, law or regulation of any jurisdiction governing the MVL Granted Rights; or (iv) result in the cancellation, revocation or suspension of any registrations, consents, approvals, authorizations or certificates issued or granted by any Governmental Body which are held by or granted to MVL, the cancellation of which would materially impair the MVL Granted Rights, other than notices, approvals, ratifications, waivers or authorizations that have already been obtained.

(c) MVL will not be required to give any notice to or obtain any approval, consent, ratification, waiver or other authorization from any person or entity (including, without limitation, any Governmental Body) in connection with: (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or (ii) the consummation or performance hereof, other than as may be required under the Credit Agreement.

16.3 Ownership. (a) To the extent that any of the MVL Granted Rights exists as of the date hereof, MVL (i) owns such MVL Granted Rights free and clear of any Encumbrances, or (ii) has the exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free right to use, license and transfer the MVL Granted Rights on the terms set forth herein, and (b) to the extent that of the MVL Granted Rights do not exist as of the date hereof, then MVL (i) will own such MVL Granted Rights free and clear of any Encumbrances, or (ii) will have the exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free right to use, license and transfer the MVL Granted Rights on the terms set forth herein.

16.4 Current Licenses. MVL will not enter into any license of or pertaining to the MVL Granted Rights other than this Agreement and other than with respect to the Marketing Rights.

16.5 No Liens. There are no, and MVL will not take any action (or fail to act that would result in) to create any, Encumbrances or contractual restrictions of any kind affecting the MVL Granted Rights.

16.6 Not in Public Domain. MVL shall take all reasonable actions so as to prevent the MVL Granted Rights from falling into the public domain consistent with MCI's conduct prior to the date hereof; and in connection with its permitted use of the Trademarks licensed hereunder shall not

take any action (or fail to take any action) that would undermine the integrity of the Trademarks or result in them falling into the public domain.

16.7 No Infringement. The exercise of any of the MVL Granted Rights herein granted or conveyed, or agreed to be conveyed, will not in any way infringe upon any copyright, trademark, common law, literary, dramatic, personal, musical or literary rights of any party.

16.8 No Impairment. MVL will not knowingly do any act or thing that will materially interfere in any manner with MRI's exploitation of the MVL Granted Rights herein granted, conveyed or which will impair, impede, invalidate or Encumber any such MVL Granted Rights; provided, however, that the mere assertion by a third party of an invalid claim (whether or not such claim is asserted in connection with litigation) shall not constitute a breach by MVL of this Section 16.8.

17.	INDEMNIFICATION.

17.1 By MRI. MRI shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless MVL, and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all liability (whether arising under a theory of contract, statute, strict liability or product liability), including damages, losses, demands, claims, actions, fees, costs, and out of pocket expenses (including defense costs and legal, accounting, and other expert witness, consulting and professional fees) from third-party claims, in any way arising from, connected with or related to (a) MRI’s breach of this Agreement including its representations and warranties set forth herein; (b) any claim that any of the Rights granted hereunder in any way infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, common law, literary, personal, dramatic, or motion picture rights of any party; and (c) any claims arising out of MRI’s exercise or licensing of the MVL Granted Rights and/or the Reserved Rights subject to the limitations set forth below in this Section 17.1. Any legal defense pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this Section 17.1 shall be conducted by MRI and performed by counsel selected by MRI and approved in writing by MVL, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. MRI shall not, without MVL’s prior written approval, accept any settlement, or enter a plea of guilt or nolo contendere, to any charge or claim that results in other than a monetary judgment against MVL, which monetary judgment shall not exceed MRI’s ability to pay and which shall be paid by MRI. MRI’s indemnification obligations shall not extend to claims arising out of a breach by MVL of this Agreement or of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein or if MVL has an indemnification obligation to MRI arising out of or pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MRI shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to claims involving or arising out of Minor Characters to the extent that MPROD has been replaced as the Development Company under the Master Agreement. Following a replacement of MPROD as the Development Company under the Master Agreement, MRI agrees to provide MCI with reasonable access to its records pertaining to the Minor Characters reasonably requested by MVL so as to permit MVL to conduct its own due diligence investigation with respect to the chain of title of the Minor Characters.

17.2 By MVL. MVL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless MRI, and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all liability (whether arising under a theory of contract, statute, strict liability or product liability), including damages, losses, demands, claims, actions, fees, costs, and out of pocket expenses (including defense costs and legal, accounting, and other expert witness, consulting and professional fees)

from third party claims, in any way arising from, connected with or related to (a) MVL’s breach of this Agreement including any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement; (b) any claim that MVL’s grant of the MVL Granted Rights hereunder or the MVL Granted Rights in any way infringes or violates any copyright, trademark, common law, literary, dramatic, personal or motion picture rights of any other party, and (c) MVL's exercise of the Rights including without limitation the production, distribution, marketing and other exploitation of Pictures but only to the extent such Losses do not arise out of a breach by MRI of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement or would be covered by MRI's indemnification obligations set forth in subpart (b) of Section 17.1 or as further limited as set forth below in this Section 17.2. Any legal defense pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this Section 17.2 shall be conducted by MVL and performed by counsel selected by MVL and approved in writing by MRI, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. MVL shall not without MRI’s prior written approval, accept any settlement, or enter a plea of guilt or nolo contendere, to any charge or claim that results in other than a monetary judgment against MRI, which monetary judgment shall not exceed MVL’s ability to pay and which shall be paid by MVL. MVL's indemnification obligations shall not extend to claims made against or arising out of the Minor Characters.

18. ASSIGNMENT/DELEGATION. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each party may assign and delegate this Agreement, and any or all of its rights, privileges and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third party, provided such third party expressly agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, MRI may assign, license, grant or otherwise transfer its right to exercise the Approval Rights and all of its rights in and to the MVL Granted Rights and all of MRI's other rights hereunder, in whole or in part, without any restriction whatsoever to any person or entity, including without limitation, MCI. This Agreement shall be binding upon each party's permitted successors and assigns.

19. ARBITRATION. MRI and MVL each agree that, except as otherwise required by any applicable collective bargaining agreement, any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time (whether or not relating to the Picture or to any of the matters referred to in Section 9 above), shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of JAMS before a single neutral arbitrator ("Arbitrator"). The Arbitrator shall be an attorney or retired judge with experience in disputes concerning the motion picture industry (e.g., the arbitrators designated in the DGA, SAG or WGA collective bargaining agreements or persons having comparable qualifications) and shall be mutually agreed upon by MRI and MVL. If MRI and MVL are unable to agree on an Arbitrator, the Arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS. The fees of the Arbitrator shall be borne equally by MRI and MVL; provided, however, that the Arbitrator may require that such fees be borne in such other manner as the Arbitrator determines is required in order for this arbitration clause to be enforceable under applicable law. The parties shall be entitled to conduct discovery in accordance with the discovery rules applicable in the Supreme Courts of the State of New York; provided, however, that (a) the Arbitrator must authorize such all discovery in advance based on findings that the material sought is relevant to the issues in dispute and that the nature and scope of such discovery is reasonable under the circumstances, and (b) discovery shall be limited to depositions and production of documents unless the Arbitrator finds that another method of discovery (e.g., interrogatories) is the most reasonable and cost efficient method of obtaining the information sought. There shall be a record of the proceedings at the arbitration hearing and the Arbitrator shall issue a Statement of Decision

setting forth the factual and legal basis for the Arbitrator's decision. If neither party gives written notice requesting an appeal within ten (10) business days after the issuance of the Statement of Decision, the Arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding as to all matters of substance and procedure, and may be enforced by a petition to the Supreme Court, New York County, which may be made ex parte, for confirmation and enforcement of the award. If either party gives written notice requesting an appeal within ten (10) business days after the issuance of the Statement of Decision, the award of the Arbitrator shall be appealed to three (3) neutral arbitrators (the "Appellate Arbitrators"), each of whom shall have the same qualifications and be selected through the same procedure as the Arbitrator. The appealing party shall file its appellate brief within thirty (30) days after its written notice requesting the appeal and the other party shall file its brief within thirty (30) days thereafter. The Appellate Arbitrators shall thereupon review the decision of the Arbitrator applying the same standards of review (and all of the same presumptions) as if the Appellate Arbitrators were the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court reviewing a judgment of the trial division of a New York State Supreme Court, except that the Appellate Arbitrators shall in all cases issue a final award and shall not remand the matter to the Arbitrator. The decision of the Appellate Arbitrators shall be final and binding as to all matters of substance and procedure, and may be enforced by a petition to the Supreme Court of New York County, which may be made ex parte, for confirmation and enforcement of the award. The party appealing the decision of the Arbitrator shall pay all costs and expenses of the appeal, including the fees of the Appellate Arbitrators and the reasonable outside attorneys' fees of the opposing party, unless the decision of the Arbitrator is reversed, in which event the expenses of the appeal shall be borne as determined by the Appellate Arbitrators. The Arbitrator shall have the power to enter temporary restraining orders, preliminary and permanent injunctions. Prior to the appointment of the Arbitrator or for remedies beyond the jurisdiction of an arbitrator, at any time, either party may seek pendente lite relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York County, New York without thereby waiving its right to arbitration of the dispute or controversy under this Section 19. All arbitration proceedings (including proceedings before the Appellate Arbitrators) shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award and shall be conducted in New York County in the State of New York. The provisions of this Section 19 shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of any prior agreement between the parties.

20. TREATMENT IN BANKRUPTCY. The parties intend that the Rights granted by MRI to MVL hereunder be governed by 11 USC Section 365(n) in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of MRI, to the greatest extent permitted by law. MRI recognizes that, notwithstanding any rejection of this Agreement in any bankruptcy proceeding, MVL may, to the greatest extent permitted by law, elect to continue to enjoy all rights and licenses granted herein for the entire license term provided in this Agreement. The parties intend that the MVL Granted Rights granted by MVL to MRI hereunder be governed by 11 USC Section 365(n) in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of MVL, to the greatest extent permitted by law. MVL recognizes that, notwithstanding any rejection of this Agreement in any bankruptcy proceeding, MRI may, to the greatest extent permitted by law, elect to continue to enjoy all rights and licenses granted herein for the entire license term provided in this Agreement.

21. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. MRI and MVL shall each have the unfettered right to enter into transactions of any nature with entities which, directly or indirectly, control, are controlled by or are under common control with it ("Affiliates"); provided, however, that any transaction between MVL and an Affiliate of MVL or between MRI and an Affiliate of MRI with

respect to the MVL Granted Rights in which MVL has an economic participation shall be on terms which are consistent with the terms upon which MVL or MRI, as applicable, enters into comparable transactions with parties which are not its Affiliates (or on terms which are consistent with the terms on which the applicable Affiliate enters into comparable transactions with third parties).

22. INSURANCE. MRI and its directors, officers and employees shall be covered as additional insureds under MVL's errors and omissions insurance policy for each Picture, subject to the applicable terms, conditions and exclusions of such policy, with respect to material created by or for MVL (but not as to material contained within the Property as delivered to MVL). MRI and its directors, officers and employees shall also be covered under MVL's general liability insurance policies for each Picture, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of such policies.

23. NOTICE. Any notice herein required or permitted to be given will be given in writing and may be delivered personally to any officer of MVL or MRI, or as appropriate, by express courier, registered or certified mail (postage and fees prepaid, with return receipt requested), or by facsimile transmission to the address set forth below. Either party may from time to time specify or change the address for such notice by giving written notice thereof to the other party in the manner provided in this Section 23. A notice will be deemed given three (3) days after deposit if by express courier, five (5) days after deposit if by regular mail, or upon transmission (with conformation of receipt) if by facsimile.

24.	RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

24.1 MRI's Rights and Remedies. MVL acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by MVL of MRI's MVL Granted Rights or the Reserved Rights or MVL's violation of the Approval Rights, including without limitation, the inclusion of a Disapproved Element in a Picture, may cause MRI irreparable harm and that MRI may have no adequate remedy in money or damages. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of MRI's MVL Granted Rights or Reserved Rights or MVL's violation of the Approval Rights, including without limitation, the inclusion of a Disapproved Element in the Picture, MRI shall for itself and on behalf of its shareholders be entitled to seek preliminary, permanent and/or other injunctive relief without having to post bond or prove irreparable injury. MRI ’s right to injunctive relief in connection with such a breach or threatened breach is in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies of MRI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MVL acknowledges that it shall not have and does hereby waive the right to bring any action or proceeding to terminate or rescind this Agreement.

24.2 MVL's Rights and Remedies. MRI acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by MRI of MVL's Rights may cause MVL irreparable harm and that MVL may have no adequate remedy in money or damages. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of MVL's Rights by MRI, MVL shall for itself and on behalf of its shareholders be entitled to seek preliminary, permanent and/or other injunctive relief without having to post bond or prove irreparable injury. MVL’s right to injunctive relief in connection with such a breach or threatened breach is in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies of MVL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MRI acknowledges that it shall not have and does hereby waive the right to bring any action or proceeding to terminate or rescind this Agreement.

25.	MISCELLANEOUS.

25.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of law rules thereof.

25.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any party or set of circumstances, shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to the parties or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

25.3 Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an agency, partnership, joint venture or any other form of association, for tax purposes or otherwise, between the parties and the parties shall at all times be and remain independent contractors. Except as expressly agreed by the parties in writing, neither party shall have any right or authority, express or implied, to assume or create any obligation of any kind, or to make any representation or warranty, on behalf of the other party or to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever.

25.4 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the parties do not intend to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.

25.5 Waiver/Counterparts. No waiver of any obligation by any party hereto under this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing, specifying such waiver, executed by the party making such waiver. A waiver by a party hereto of any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement on any occasion shall not be a bar to the exercise of the same right or remedy on any subsequent occasion or of any other right or remedy at any time. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, by facsimile or otherwise, each of which shall be deemed an original Agreement for all purposes, including the judicial proof of any of the terms hereof; provided, however, that all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

25.6 Construction. The construction of this Agreement shall not take into consideration the party who drafted or whose representative drafted any portion of this Agreement, and no canon of construction shall be applied that resolves ambiguities against the party who drafted or whose representative drafted this Agreement. The parties are sophisticated and have been represented by lawyers throughout this transaction who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not believe the presumption of laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied and therefore waive the effects thereof. Each party acknowledges that it has read this Agreement, understands the terms and consequences of this Agreement and is fully aware of the legal and binding effect of this Agreement.

25.7 Entire Agreement/Headings. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between the parties. All exhibits and schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated by reference into, and made a part of, this Agreement as and where referenced in this Agreement. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement will be effective unless in writing signed by each of the parties to this Agreement. The headings used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions hereof.
