A list of such jurisdictions as of the date hereof is attached hereto as Schedule 3.1.

16

          (b) Issuer has the power and authority to (i) own its property and carry on its business as now being conducted and as intended to be conducted, (ii) execute, deliver and perform, as applicable, its obligations under this Agreement and any other documents contemplated hereby to which it is a party.      Section 3.2 Authority and No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Issuer and the issuance and sale hereunder of the Revenue Participations, (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action (or similar action) on the part of Issuer, (ii) will not constitute a violation of any provision of Applicable Law in any material respect or any order of any Governmental Authority applicable to Issuer, or any properties or assets in any material respect, (iii) will not violate any provision of Issuer’s Organizational Documents, (iv) will not violate any provision of any indenture, agreement, bond, note or other similar instrument to which Issuer is a party or by which Issuer or any of its properties or assets are bound, other than where any such violation could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (v) will not be in conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or create any right to terminate, any such indenture, agreement, bond, note or other similar instrument, other than where any such violation could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.      Section 3.3 Governmental Approval. All authorizations, approvals, licenses, registrations or filings from or with any Governmental Authority required for the consummation of the execution, delivery and performance by Issuer of this Agreement have been duly obtained or made or duly applied for, and are in full force and effect, except those which, if not obtained, could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and if any further authorizations, approvals, registrations or filings should hereafter become necessary, Issuer shall obtain or make all such authorizations, approvals, registrations or filings; provided, however, that any failure to make any such authorization, approval, registration or filing will not be a breach of this Agreement if such failure could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.      Section 3.4 Binding Agreement. This Agreement, when executed, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Issuer, enforceable against Issuer in accordance with its terms, subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).      Section 3.5 Places of Business.

The issuance and sale of the Revenue Participations hereunder, the intended use of the proceeds of the Revenue Participations and any other transactions contemplated hereby will not violate any Applicable Law.      Section 3.10 Use of Proceeds. Proceeds from sale of the Revenue Participations will be used exclusively for payment of the Direct Costs of Funded Qualifying Projects, or to repay any financing or interim financing of such Direct Costs.

Neither any Funded Qualifying Project, nor any part thereof, nor any materials contained therein or synchronized therewith, nor the title thereof, nor the exercise of any right, license or privilege granted to the other party hereunder, violates or will violate, or infringes or will infringe, any trademark, trade name, service xxxx, patent, copyright (whether common law or statutory), or, the literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, personal, private, civil, “droit moral”, moral rights or property right or rights of privacy or any other right of any person or entity whatsoever, or unfairly competes with or slanders or libels (or constitutes a trade disparagement of) any Person or entity whatsoever.      Section 3.15 No Litigation. There is no litigation, arbitration, claim, demand, or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Issuer, threatened with respect to any Funded Qualifying Project, or the literary, dramatic or musical material upon which such Funded Qualifying Project is based or which is contained therein, or concerning the physical properties thereof.      Section 3.16 Production.

Participation to, or solicit any offers to buy any such Revenue Participation from, or otherwise approach or negotiate in respect thereof with, any Person or Persons so as thereby to bring the issuance or sale of any of the Revenue Participations within the registration provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. The offer and sale of the Revenue Participations pursuant to this Agreement is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.      Section 3.18 No Violation of Laws. Issuer shall not take any action (or omit to take any action) otherwise permitted under this Agreement which would cause the performance of this Agreement to violate any law, rule or regulation or require an order, consent, permit or approval to be obtained from any Governmental Authority, except where such violation or such failure to obtain such order, consent, permit or approval could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.      Section 3.19 Production Specifications. If, after submission of the Production Specifications for a Qualifying Project, such Production Specifications change either prior to or following a written acceptance thereof by the Revenue Participation Holders, then Issuer shall: (i) for the Production Specifications listed as items (i) to (xii) inclusively resubmit the amended Production Specifications for acceptance and written approval by the Revenue Participation Holders; (ii) for the Production Specifications listed as items (xiii) to (xvi) inclusively be entitled to make changes without approval if such changes result from force majeure, production exigencies and other matters beyond the reasonable control of Issuer, the Copyright Owner of such Funded Qualifying Project, if applicable, any Co-Producer of such Funded Qualifying Project, if applicable, and the Services Company providing services in connection with such Funded Qualifying Project; and (iii) for the Production Specifications listed as items (xvii) to (xix) inclusively resubmit the amended Production Specifications for acceptance and written approval by the Revenue Participation Holders if such change results in a fluctuation which is *****.

Issuer and each Revenue Participation Holder shall each have the right, at its own expense, but not more than ***** each, to audit the Distribution Records at the aforesaid office in order to verify the Settlement Reports rendered hereunder in connection with each Funded Qualifying Project. Any such audit shall be conducted only by a certified public accountant during reasonable business hours and in such manner as not to interfere with Distributor’s normal business activities, shall not continue for more than ***** and be conducted by a third party accounting firm approved by the Revenue Participation Holders (Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Company, and any of the so-called “Big-Four” accounting firms are hereby pre-approved), provided that no such firm is compensated on a “percentage of recovery” basis, it being understood that Distributor shall have the right to approve any “percentage of recovery” retainer), provided, however, that such third party accounting firm shall

It has the full right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform each of its obligations hereunder; that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not violate any law or regulation to which it is subject, and does not constitute a breach or default under any contract or undertaking to which it is a party; and that this Agreement and all other documents required to be executed and delivered hereunder by it, when so executed and delivered, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of it, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).      Section 6.3 Access to Information. It acknowledges that all documents and other materials pertaining to a purchase of a Revenue Participation that it has requested to examine have been made available for inspection by it. It, or a Person or Persons acting on its behalf, has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Issuer concerning the issuance of the Revenue Participations and Issuer, including, without limitation, Issuer’s prospective business plans, and all such questions have been answered to its full satisfaction.

In making its investment decision, it has relied solely on its own advisors, and not on the advice of Issuer, LGEI, Distributor, any of their Affiliates or their respective legal counsel or financial advisors. It acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm, limited liability company or corporation in making its decision to purchase a Revenue Participation and that it has not received any general solicitation or general advertising concerning Issuer, LGEI, Distributor, any of their Affiliates or the Revenue Participation, nor is such Revenue Participation Holder aware that any such solicitation or advertising was received by anyone else.      Section 6.6 Information Provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LGEI represents and warrants to SGF that the financial and operating history and financial results provided to SGF and the Xxxxxx Group are true and accurate in all material respects consistent with what LGEI utilizes in its own financial projections supplied to its auditors, except that LGEI has also added a terminal value required because Xxxxxx Group required information on ultimate values for a period of time different from that used by such auditors to calculate such ultimate values.

If any proceeding, including, without limitation, any governmental investigation, shall be instituted involving any Indemnified Party, in respect of which indemnity may be sought against Issuer, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Issuer in writing.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.12, venue for any such reference proceeding shall be in the state or federal court in the County or District where venue is appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”). The parties shall select a single neutral referee, who shall be a retired state or federal judge. If the parties cannot agree upon a referee within *****, the Court shall appoint the referee. The referee shall report a statement of decision to the Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral or obtain provisional remedies (including, without limitation, requests for temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, writs of possession, writs of attachment, appointment of a receiver, or any orders that a court may issue to preserve the status quo, to prevent irreparable injury). The parties shall bear the fees and expenses of the referee equally unless the referee orders otherwise. The referee also shall determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this Section 13.9.

Any provision of this Agreement or of the Revenue Participations which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.      Section 13.12 SERVICE OF PROCESS.

EACH SUBMITTING PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS TO WHICH NOTICES ARE TO BE GIVEN TO IT PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.1. EACH SUBMITTING PARTY AGREES THAT ITS SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION AND CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY MAIL IS MADE FOR THE EXPRESS BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE OTHER SUBMITTING PARTIES.
