As used in this Exhibit A, “Total Minimum Number of Committed Screens” means, at any point in time, the aggregate minimum number of screens for which exhibitors are contractually committed to accept deployment of Digital Cinema Projection Systems under all agreements then in effect between Christie/AIX and exhibitors (without taking account of the actual number of screens for which deployment has been made, except as provided in the following proviso); provided, however, that where the actual number of screens for which Digital Cinema Projection Systems have been deployed to an exhibitor under an agreement between the exhibitor and Christie/AIX exceeds the minimum number of screens for which the exhibitor is contractually committed under such agreement to accept deployment of Digital Cinema Projection Systems, then the actual number of screens shall be used in the determination in lieu of the minimum number of screens provided for in the agreement between the exhibitor and Christie/AIX. |

In the event the Total Minimum Number of Committed Screens as so determined exceeds *** screens, and ***% of such Total Minimum Number of Committed Screens exceeds the total number of Group A Systems previously shipped by Christie for the account of Christie/AIX, Christie/AIX shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) weeks after such determination is made) submit to Christie a purchase order for a quantity of Group A Systems equal to the quantity by which ***% of such Total Minimum Number of Committed Screens exceeds the total number of Group A Systems previously shipped by Christie for the account of Christie/AIX, subject always to the maximum number of Group A Systems set forth in paragraph (b) |
