(ii) Each Securityholder shall take all actions necessary to ensure that within 90 days after the close of each fiscal year, the Companies shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, distribute to the Securityholders 100% of Permitted Dividends for such fiscal year.

(iii) The Parties acknowledge that the effect of Section 4(e)(ii) together with the repayment mechanics of the Credit Agreement will result in any Companies with net income benefiting any Companies with net losses. The CPI Holders acknowledge and agree to, and release any and all claims they may now or hereafter have against the Companies or the LN Holders arising from, this result, notwithstanding that, at the date hereof, SAMCO’s percentage ownership interest in Grand is less than in Touring, and Cohl only has an ownership interest in Grand.

(f) Conflict with Charters. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement or any Charter, the terms of this Agreement shall control. Each Party agrees to take such actions as may be required to conform the terms of the Charter to this Agreement, including adopting any appropriate amendments thereto.

(g) Reporting and Access Requirements. The Companies will provide (i) timely reporting of actual financial results (both income statements and balance sheets) and other information with respect to each Company as may be necessary to allow LN to comply with its reporting requirements under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act and (ii) LN’s auditors with reasonable access to the books and records of each of the Companies.

(h) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act Compliance. Touring USA and Touring ROW will comply with any written request from LN that they comply with applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and that they provide to LN information to allow LN to comply with disclosure requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002; provided that such request instructs Touring USA and Touring ROW as to the specific actions and information that are requested and affords them reasonable time to comply having regard to the resources of the Companies.

(i) Tour Management Support Services.

(i) LN shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Touring at no cost such support services to assist in executing global tours, including full access to the global infrastructure of LN and its Affiliates, as are being provided by LN and its Affiliates to the 2005-2006 Rolling Stones World Tour; except that (I) if the tour contract allows for charging tour support services against the “pot” then that will be permitted, (II) if the volume of services requires that LN add capacity, then the Companies and LN will negotiate reasonable reimbursement of the associated incremental cost, and (III) the fee structure already in place for the 2005-2006 Rolling Stones Tour shall continue without change or amendment as a result of the foregoing provisions.

(ii) LN shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Touring full access to other support services not covered by Section 4(i)(i), such as DVD distribution and marketing, as are available within LN and its Affiliates and that they have the capacity to provide (acting reasonably and in good faith), for which Touring shall (I) in the case of sponsorship services, pay a 15% finders fee and (II) in the case of all other support services, reimburse LN and its Affiliates their associated incremental cost and expense.

(j) Rebates and Commissions. LN acknowledges that from time to time a Company may be entering into a project contract with terms that would require rebates, commissions, volume discounts or other similar payments (“Rebates”) received by LN and its Affiliates to be contributed to the “pot”. If and whenever LN specifically agrees to such terms, LN hereby agrees to contribute, or cause to be contributed, to the “pot” such Rebates as are required by such terms.

(k) Cohl Guarantee. LN acknowledges that Xxxxxxx Xxxx has provided a personal guarantee in support of the 2005-2006 Rolling Stones Tour. LN hereby agrees for the benefit of Xxxxxxx Xxxx, to indemnify him as to 50.1% of any liability arising pursuant to such guarantee with respect to acts, events, omissions or defaults occurring after the date hereof and to more fully document such indemnity within 30 days of the date hereof, acting reasonably and in good faith.

5. Trigger Events.

(a) Following the occurrence of each Trigger Event (until the purchase right described under this Section 5(a) is exercised) and for 90 days thereafter, the CPI Representative may, upon written notice (“Equalization Notice”) to the LN Group, cause to be purchased Equity Securities representing 0.1% of each of Touring USA and Touring ROW (together, the “Equalizing Securities”) from the member of the LN Group then holding the greatest number of each. The Equalizing Securities shall be purchased by such CPI Holder as is determined by the CPI Representative in his sole and absolute discretion (but only so long as such CPI Holder is agreeable thereto). Immediately upon provision of such notice (which shall be irrevocable), (i) the CPI Holder purchaser shall be deemed for all voting, consent, economic and other purposes to own the Equalizing Securities and (ii) the CPI Representative shall have the right to nominate an additional member to the boards of directors of Touring USA and Touring ROW such that each such board shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(d)(i) be comprised of four members.

(b) The purchase of the Equalizing Securities shall take place as promptly as practicable. The purchase price for the Equalizing Securities will be equal to an amount mutually agreed upon by the parties at the time as their fair market value or, failing such agreement, 0.1% of the total fair market value of all of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of Touring USA and Touring ROW as of the date of the Equalization Notice, with such total value to be determined by the appraisal division of a nationally-recognized investment bank to be selected by the LN Group and approved by the CPI Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the fees and expenses of such appraisal to be borne by the LN Group. The LN Holder seller shall have no obligation to make any representations or warranties to the CPI Holder purchaser other than with respect to possession of title to the Equalizing Securities and the authority to transfer them free and clear of all liens and other restrictions.

(c) The LN Group shall have the right to provide a Sale Notice to the CPI Group within 90 days of receipt of an Equalization Notice and thereby trigger the sale provisions of Section 6. If the LN Group should provide a Sale Notice pursuant to the right contained in this Section 5(c), then the CPI Group, either alone or with others, shall have the option to match (the “Match Option”) the final successful bid to purchase the Equity Securities pursuant to Section 6 and thereby purchase all of the Equity Securities from the Securityholders upon the terms and provisions contained in such final successful bid. The Match Option must be exercised within five (5) Business Days after determination of the final successful bid to purchase the Equity Securities pursuant to Section 6.

6. Sale of the Companies.

(a) From and after the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date hereof and (ii) the termination of the Services Agreement pursuant to either of Sections 6(d) or 6(e) thereof, the LN Group or the CPI Group may provide written notice to the other Group (the “Sale Notice”) requiring that the Companies be sold in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6. If earlier, the CPI Group may also provide a Sale Notice from and after the occurrence of any transaction prohibited by Section 3(a)(iv) (which right shall be in addition to the CPI Group’s rights in such event pursuant to Section 5). If after the provision of a Sale Notice the Companies are not sold in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6, then either Group may provide another Sale Notice requiring compliance anew with all provisions of this Section 6, and so on until the Companies are sold.

(b) For a period of 45 days after the provision of the Sale Notice or such shorter or longer period as mutually agreed between the LN Group and the CPI Representative (in this Section 6, the “Negotiation Period”), either Group may seek to negotiate (and in which case each Group shall negotiate in good faith) a purchase (a “Friendly Purchase”) of either (i) all (but not less than all) of the Equity Securities held by the other Group or (ii) all (but not less than all) of the material assets of the Companies. Each Securityholder agrees that during any Negotiation Period, it will not (directly or indirectly) (i) solicit, entertain or encourage inquiries or proposals from any other Person with respect to the disposition of any Equity Securities or material assets of the Companies, (ii) enter into any agreement or negotiate with any other Person to dispose of any Equity Securities or material assets of the Companies or (iii) provide any other Person with any information (confidential or otherwise) for the purpose of that

Person’s evaluation of an acquisition of any Equity Securities or material assets of the Companies.

(c) If at the end of the Negotiation Period the Groups have not executed a definitive and binding agreement for a Friendly Purchase, then the Securityholders shall be obligated to sell all of their respective Equity Securities to the successful bidder determined in accordance with the following procedures:

(i) For a period of ninety (90) days (the “Bid Period”) following the end of the Negotiation Period, both Groups shall be authorized to seek written offers to purchase all of the Equity Securities for a single cash payment payable upon the closing of the purchase of the Equity Securities (“Cash Bids”). Cash Bids may be made by either Group, any members of either Group, unrelated third parties or any combination of the foregoing. Cash Bids must be in writing and provided to both the LN Group and the CPI Representative prior to the end of the Bid Period.

(ii) Within 5 Business Days after the end of the Bid Period, either Group may submit or cause to be submitted a Cash Bid that exceeds by 5% or more the highest Cash Bid received during the Bid Period. Any such Cash Bid must be in writing and provided to both the LN Group and the CPI Representative within such 5 Business Day period.

(iii) If a new Cash Bid is received pursuant to clause (ii) within 5 Business Days after the end of the Bid Period, then during the next subsequent 5 Business Day period (and each subsequent 5 Business Day period thereafter for so long as a new Cash Bid is received during the prior 5 Business Day period), the Groups will have the right to submit or cause to be submitted another Cash Bid that exceeds by 5% or more the highest Cash Bid received during the immediately preceding 5 Business Day period. Each such Cash Bid must be in writing and provided to both the LN Group and the CPI Representative prior to the expiration of the applicable 5 Business Day period.

(iv) Once any 5 Business Day period passes after the end of the Bid Period without a new Cash Bid being delivered pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii), the highest Cash Bid previously received will be the successful bid, and each of the Securityholders shall be required to sell all of their respective Equity Securities to the offeror of such Cash Bid with the aggregate purchase price to be paid to the Securityholders in proportion to their ownership percentages of the Equity Securities.

(d) The rights of the CPI Group set forth in this Section 6 and Section 5(c) where applicable (including the discretion to take any action or make any decision) shall be exercised by the CPI Representative acting as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the CPI Holders, in the CPI Representative’s sole and absolute discretion. Such rights shall include:

(i) Pursuant to Section 6(a), providing a Sales Notice.

(ii) Pursuant to Section 6(b), negotiating during the Negotiation Period to be the purchaser or the seller in a Friendly Purchase, and entering into as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the CPI Group a definitive and binding agreement

for a Friendly Purchase either as the purchaser or the seller (provided that, if as seller, no CPI Holder shall be treated less favorably than any other CPI Holder without their consent equally in connection with any such sale (on a per Equity Security basis by Company)).

(iii) Pursuant to Section 6(c), seeking written offers to purchase all of the Equity Securities, and entering into as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the CPI Group a definitive and binding agreement for the sale of all their respective Equity Securities.

(iv) Pursuant to Section 5(c), exercising the Match Option.

(v) If the CPI Group is the purchaser pursuant to this Section 6 or Section 5(c), deciding which members of the CPI Group shall be entitled to participate therein and in what proportions (each member of the CPI Group acknowledging that it shall have no right to participate therein).

(e) Each Securityholder agrees that it will tender its Equity Securities in connection with any sale required by the provisions of this Section 6 or Section 5(c) (collectively, the “Sale Provisions”). Further, each Securityholder shall vote and act at all times as a Securityholder and in all other respects take all such steps, execute all such documents and do all such acts and things as may be within its power to implement to their full extent the Sale Provisions (including in connection with an asset sale) and to cause the Companies to act in the manner contemplated by the Sale Provisions. No Securityholder shall have, without its consent, any sale liability in connection with any transaction contemplated by the Sale Provisions in excess of its net proceeds in connection therewith or, in the case of an asset sale, its reasonably estimated proceeds of a liquidation of the Companies following such a sale. The Securityholders agree that if any sale under the Sale Provisions is an asset sale, they will take all reasonable steps to promptly liquidate the Companies thereafter.

7. Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall come into force and effect as of the date set out on the first page of this Agreement and, subject to Section 7(b), shall continue in force until the date on which this Agreement is terminated by written agreement of the LN Group and the CPI Group (with the CPI Representative acting as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the CPI Holders, in the CPI Representative’s sole and absolute discretion).

(b) Section 8 (and the other provisions hereof insofar as they are necessary for the interpretation or enforcement of Section 8) shall continue in force in accordance with its terms if this Agreement is otherwise terminated.

(c) Any Person who ceases to be a Securityholder shall thereupon cease to have the rights or obligations hereunder as a Party except that any such Person shall remain (i) liable for any prior breach of this Agreement and (ii) bound by the provisions of Section 8 in accordance with the provisions thereof.

8. Confidentiality.

No Securityholder (and each Securityholder shall ensure that none of its Affiliates) shall use or disclose to any Person, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information at any time hereafter during the period ending five years after the earlier of (i) such Securityholder ceasing to be a Securityholder and (ii) the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall preclude a Securityholder or its Affiliates from disclosing or using Confidential Information if:

(I) the Confidential Information is available to the public or in the public domain at the time of such disclosure or use, without breach of this Agreement;

(II) the Confidential Information is furnished or disclosed to the Securityholder or Affiliate by a third party who is under no obligation of confidence to any Company;

(III) the disclosure is made in the ordinary course of the business of the Companies as necessary to conduct, operate or carry on the business of the Companies or to enter into any contract or other arrangement related to the operation of the business of the Companies;

(IV) disclosure is in connection with a proposed Disposition in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that the proposed transferee has executed a confidentiality agreement in favor of the relevant Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Company; or

(V) disclosure is required to be made by any law, regulation, governmental body or authority or by court order.

9. CPI Representative.

(a) By its execution of this Agreement, each of the CPI Holders shall conclusively be deemed to have consented to, approved and agreed to be bound by, as applicable:

(i) To irrevocably appoint the CPI Representative as the attorney-in-fact (which appointment is acknowledged by each CPI Holder and the CPI Representative as being coupled with an interest) for and on behalf of each CPI Holder as provided in this Agreement. Each CPI Holder agrees not to revoke such appointment and that any attempt to do so shall be null and void and without effect.

(ii) The taking by the CPI Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the CPI Representative under this Agreement.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the CPI Representative shall not have the right to take any actions or make any decisions that increase, directly or indirectly, the potential liability of any CPI Holder from that which is created pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) The initial CPI Representative shall be Xxxxxxx Xxxx. If Xxxxxxx Xxxx shall resign as the CPI Representative, or upon the determination of SAMCO, SAMCO shall be the CPI Representative. The CPI Representative shall have the power to appoint any substitute and to delegate to that substitute any power hereby conferred (other than this power of substitution) as if that substitute had been originally appointed as the CPI Representative.

(c) SAMCO and the CPI Representative shall indemnify and hold the LN Holders harmless from any Losses incurred by any of the LN Holders in relying upon the CPI Representative’s authority in performing his role under this Agreement, except to the extent of any such Losses arising from fraud or willful misconduct by the LN Holders. “Losses” shall mean any and all losses, liabilities, damages, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, orders, assessments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, costs or deficiencies (including, (I) incidental, indirect, special, consequential or similar Losses, (II) interest, penalties and fees (including attorneys’ fees and costs), and (III) the cost of seeking to enforce the indemnity provisions hereof).

10. Conflicting Agreements.

Each Securityholder represents that such Securityholder has not granted and is not a party to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement that is inconsistent with or conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement, and agrees that it shall not grant any proxy or become party to any voting trust or other agreement that is inconsistent with or conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement.

11. Interpretation.

(a) All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require. All terms defined in this Agreement in their singular or plural forms have correlative meanings when used herein in their plural or singular forms, respectively. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the words “include”, “includes” and “including” do not limit the preceding words or terms and shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.

(b) If a date referenced in this Agreement falls on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be deemed to fall on the next Business Day.

12. Captions and Headings.

The captions and headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not in any way affect, limit, amplify or modify the provisions hereof.

14. Governing Law.

Except to the extent otherwise required by the laws of the jurisdiction in which a Company has been formed or incorporated, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements entered into and to be wholly-performed in such State. Each Securityholder hereby submits to the non-exclusive

jurisdiction of the state courts located in New York, NY and the federal court located in the Southern District of New York with respect to all actions contemplated by this Section 14 and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

15. Enforcement.

(a) No remedy referred to herein is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to any Party. No express or implied waiver by any Party of any default shall be a waiver of any future or subsequent default. The failure or delay of any Party in exercising any rights granted it hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any such right and any single or partial exercise of any particular right by any Party shall not exhaust the same or constitute a waiver of any other right provided herein.

(b) For greater certainty, it is specifically agreed and understood that monetary damages will not adequately compensate the non-breaching parties for the breach of this Agreement or the Charters, and this Agreement and the Charters shall, therefore, be specifically enforceable, and any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or the Charters shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order and specific performance. Further, each Party and their successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns waive any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach.

16. Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns, including any transferee of Equity Securities hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all covenants and agreements of the Securityholders shall bind any and all subsequent holders of their Equity Securities.

17. Invalid Provisions.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to duly amend this Agreement by replacing such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision with a legal, valid and enforceable provision, the

economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.

18. Amendments; Waiver.

This Agreement may be amended at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part by written agreement of the LN Group and the CPI Group (with the CPI Representative acting as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the CPI Holders, in the CPI Representative’s sole and absolute discretion). No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the Party so waiving (with the CPI Representative acting as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the CPI Holders, in the CPI Representative’s sole and absolute discretion).

19. Further Assurances; All Equity Securities Subject to this Agreement.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from time to time (i) each Securityholder shall vote and act at all times as a Securityholder and in all other respects take all such steps, execute all such documents and do all such acts and things as may be within its power to implement to their full extent the provisions of this Agreement and to cause the Companies to act in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) each Party agrees to take such actions as may be reasonably requested by any other Party, and provide reasonable cooperation to each other in order to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Each Securityholder agrees that it shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to all Equity Securities held by it from time to time.

20. Multiple Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed (manually or by facsimile or similar electronic means) in any number of counterparts, each of which for all purposes shall be deemed an original, and all of which constitute collectively one agreement; but in making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
