The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or e-mail shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or e-mail shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

Section 8.3 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented at any time by additional written agreements signed by, or on behalf of each of the Parties and by Starz provided that, in the case of Starz, such amendment will be subject to approval by a majority of the independent directors of Starz (as independence is determined under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market). This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, and waivers of or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed on behalf of (i) each of the Parties and (ii) Starz provided that, in the case of Starz, such amendment will be subject to approval by a majority of the independent directors of Starz (as independence is determined under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market). No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

Section 8.4 Expenses. Purchaser shall pay (i) up to an amount equal to $1,600,000.00, minus all amounts reimbursed pursuant to Section 8(j) of the Voting Agreement, for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholders, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Stockholders in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and (ii) any required filing fee in connection with the filings described in Section 4.2(a)(i). Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not consummated, shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

Section 8.5 Governing Law. All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its rules of conflict of laws.

Section 8.6 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits thereto and other documents and the instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and neither party is relying on any other oral or written representation, agreement or understanding and no party makes any express or implied representation or warranty in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than as set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and Starz, any rights or remedies. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Starz is an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 8.3, this Section 8.6, and the definition of Specified Termination Event, and the Parties shall not waive or amend such provisions without the express written consent of Starz, which may be withheld in Starz’s sole discretion (as determined by the act of a majority of the independent directors of the Company (as independence is determined under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market)).

Section 8.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, insofar as the foregoing can be accomplished without materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties to this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

Section 8.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the Parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided that this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall be binding upon any Person to whom record or beneficial ownership of any Starz Exchange Shares shall pass by operation of law or otherwise, including to the extent applicable, any Stockholder’s heirs, guardians, administrators or successors (and any such Person shall agree to be bound by this Agreement).

Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 8.9 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur to the Parties hereto, as well as Starz as an express third party beneficiary hereof, if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties, as well as Starz as an express third party beneficiary hereof, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court specified in Section 8.12, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 8.10 Failure or Delay Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 8.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HERBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 8.12 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction over such matter is vested in the federal courts, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware) in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court, and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than such court.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
