In connection with the exercise of a Redeeming Member’s Redemption Rights under Section 9.1(a), NCM Inc. shall contribute to the Company the consideration the Redeeming Member is entitled to receive under Section 9.1(b). NCM Inc., at its option, shall determine whether to contribute, pursuant to Section 9.1(b), the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement. Unless the Redeeming Member has timely delivered a Retraction Notice as provided in Section 9.1(b), on the Redemption Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date) (i) NCM Inc. shall make its capital contribution to the Company (in the form of the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement) required under this Section 3.5(b), and (ii) the Company shall issue to NCM Inc. a number of Common Units equal to the number of Redeemed Units surrendered by the Redeeming Member.

(i) In connection with the exercise of Options, NCM Inc. shall have the right to acquire additional Common Units from the Company. NCM Inc. shall exercise its rights under this Section 3.5(c)(i) by giving written notice (the “Equity Compensation Notice”) to the Company and all Members following exercise of the Options. The Equity Compensation Notice shall specify the net number of shares of NCM Inc. common stock issued by NCM Inc. pursuant to exercise of the Options. The Company shall issue the Common Units to which NCM Inc. is entitled under Section 3.5(c)(i) within three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Equity Compensation Notice (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on such date). The number of additional Common Units that NCM Inc. shall be entitled to receive under this Section 3.5(c)(i) shall be equal to the net number of shares of NCM Inc. common stock issued by NCM Inc. pursuant to the exercise of the Options. The net number of shares of NCM Inc. common stock issued by NCM Inc. pursuant to exercise of the Options shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of NCM Inc. common stock with respect to which the Options were exercised, less (ii) any shares of NCM Inc. common stock transferred to or withheld by NCM Inc. (e.g., in connection with a stock swap or otherwise) in satisfaction of the exercise price or taxes payable as a result of the exercise of the Options. In consideration of the Common Units issued by the Company to NCM Inc. under this Section 3.5(c)(i), NCM Inc. shall contribute to the Company the cash consideration, if any, received by NCM Inc. in exchange for the net shares of NCM Inc. common stock issued pursuant to exercise of the Options. NCM Inc. shall contribute any cash consideration to which the Company is entitled under this Section 3.5(c)(i) on the same date (and to be effective as of the same time) that the Company issues the Common Units to NCM Inc.

(ii) In connection with the grant of NCM Inc. common stock pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan (including, without limitation, the issuance of restricted and non-restricted NCM Inc. common stock, the payment of bonuses in NCM Inc. common stock, the issuance of NCM Inc. common stock in settlement of stock appreciation rights or otherwise), other than through the exercise of Options as contemplated in Section 3.5(c)(i), NCM Inc. shall deliver an Equity Compensation Notice to the Company and all Members following the date on

which shares of such NCM Inc. common stock are vested under applicable law (“Vested NCM Inc. Shares”). The Equity Compensation Notice shall specify the number of Vested NCM Inc. Shares. Within three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Equity Compensation Notice (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on such date) (i) the Company shall (x) issue to NCM Inc. a number of Common Units equal to the number of Vested NCM Inc. Shares, and (y) make a special distribution to NCM Inc. from Available Cash (to the extent such distribution is not restricted under Section 7.6(h) of the Senior Credit Facility) in respect of such Common Units in an amount equal to any dividends paid or payable by NCM Inc. in respect of such Vested NCM Inc. Shares, and (ii) NCM Inc. shall contribute to the Company any cash consideration received by NCM Inc. in respect of such Vested NCM Inc. Shares.

3.6 Business Opportunities; Non-Competition. Except as provided in this Agreement and as may be otherwise provided in any written agreement with the Company to which a Member or its Affiliates is a party (including Section 12.07 of the Exhibitor Services Agreements), each Member and their Affiliates may have other business interests or may engage in other business ventures of any nature or description whatsoever regardless of whether they compete with the business and purpose of the Company set forth in Section 2.6.

4.4 Duties. The Manager shall carry out its duties in good faith, in a manner that it believes to be in the best interests of the Company. The Manager shall devote such time to the business and affairs of the Company as it may determine, in its reasonable discretion, is necessary for the efficient carrying on of the Company’s business.

4.5 Reliance by Third Parties. No third party dealing with the Company shall be required to ascertain whether the Manager is acting in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Any officers so designated shall have such titles and authority and perform such duties as the Manager may, from time to time, delegate to them. If the title given to a particular officer is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such officer, or restrictions placed thereon, by the Manager. Each officer shall hold office until his or her successor is duly designated, until his or her death or until he or she resigns or is removed in the manner hereinafter provided.

act or omission by such Indemnitee in connection with the conduct of affairs of the Company or otherwise incurred in connection with the Company or this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, in each case unless such act or omission was the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct or constitutes a breach of, or a failure to comply with, any agreement between (x) such Indemnitee and (y) the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement a Manager, Member or officer of the Company is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion,” with “complete discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, such Manager, Member or officer shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or the Members, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another expressed standard, such Manager, Member or officer shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards.

(c) Any Manager, Member, Liquidator or officer of the Company may consult with legal counsel and accountants selected by it at its expense or with legal counsel and accountants for the Company at the Company’s expense.

4.15 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification Rights. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities, expenses of any nature (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, settlements (whether on an individual or joint and several basis) and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitral or investigative, in which the Indemnitee was involved or may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the business of the Company, this Agreement, any Person’s status as a Manager, Member or officer of the Company or any action taken by any Manager, Member or officer of the Company or under this Agreement or otherwise on behalf of the Company (collectively, “Liabilities”), regardless of whether the Indemnitee continues to be a Manager, Member or officer of the Company, or an Affiliate, officer, director, employee, trustee, member or partner or agent of a

Manager, Member or officer of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by the LLC Act and all other applicable laws; provided that an Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder only to the extent that such Indemnitee’s conduct did not result from gross negligence or willful misconduct. The termination of any proceeding by settlement, judgment, order, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such Indemnitee’s conduct resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Expenses. Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending against any Liability or potential Liability subject to this Section 4.15 shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such Liability upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Manager by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 4.15.

(c) Indemnification Rights Non-Exclusive; Rights of Indemnified Parties. The indemnification provided by this Section 4.15 shall be in addition to any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any agreement, by a Majority Member Vote, as a matter of law or equity, or otherwise. Such indemnification shall continue with respect to an Indemnitee even though it has ceased to serve in any particular capacity and shall inure to the benefit of its heirs, executors, successors, assigns and other legal representatives.

(d) Assets of the Company. Any indemnification under this Section 4.15 shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Company, and no Member shall be subject to personal liability or required to fund or cause to be funded any obligation by reason of these indemnification provisions.

(e) Other Liability Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, at the Company’s expense, on behalf of such Persons as the Manager shall reasonably determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or any expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates regardless of whether the Company would have the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

4.16 Title to Assets. Unless specifically licensed or leased to the Company, title to the assets of the Company, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Members, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such assets (other than licensed or leased assets) or any portion thereof.

(a) Allocations of Net Income or Net Losses pursuant to Section 6.4 shall be made at the end of each Fiscal Period, at such times as the Carrying Value of Company assets is adjusted pursuant to the definition thereof and at such other times as required by this Agreement.

(b) Each Member shall be supplied with the information of the Company necessary to enable such Member to prepare in a timely manner (and in any event within 120 days after the end of the Company Fiscal Year) its federal, state and local income tax returns and such other financial or other statements and reports that the Manager deems appropriate.

(c) The Manager shall keep or cause to be kept books and records pertaining to the Company’s business showing all of its assets and liabilities, receipts and disbursements, Net Income and Net Losses, Members’ Capital Accounts and all transactions entered into by the Company. Such books and records of the Company shall be kept at the office of the Company and the Members and their representatives shall at all reasonable times have free access thereto for the purpose of inspecting or copying the same.

(d) The Company’s books of account shall be kept on an accrual basis or as otherwise provided by the Manager and otherwise in accordance with GAAP, except that for income tax purposes such books shall be kept in accordance with applicable tax accounting principles.

(e) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain accurate books and records reflecting its assets and liabilities and maintain proper and adequate “internal control over financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, and as such rules may be amended and supplemented from time to time); and (ii) deliver to any Member, immediately upon request, certifications and statements with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries satisfying the requirements of Rule 13a-l4(a) or 15d-14(a) under the Exchange Act, and 18 U.S.C. § 1350 (Section 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002).

(f) Subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, the Company will permit representatives of a Member and its Affiliates, at their expense, to obtain all books and accounts, documents and other information (other than documents and information relating to pricing or other proprietary information of any Member or its Affiliates collected pursuant to any Exhibitor Services Agreement) in the possession of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, as may reasonably be requested in order to enable such Member to monitor its investment in the Company and to exercise its rights under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, to provide such other access and information as may be reasonably required to enable such Member to account for the investment in the Company and otherwise comply with the requirements of applicable laws, generally accepted accounting principles and requirements of any Governmental Authority.

6.2 Certain Tax Matters. The Company shall make the TEFRA Election for all taxable years of the Company. The “tax matters partner” for purposes of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code shall be NCM Inc. (the “Tax Matters Member”). The Tax Matters Member shall have all the rights, duties, powers and obligations provided for in Sections 6221 through 6232 of the Code with respect to the Company. The Tax Matters Member shall inform each other Member of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as such by giving notice thereof within ten days after becoming aware thereof and, within such time, shall forward to each other Member copies of all significant written communications it may receive in such capacity. This provision is not intended to authorize the Tax Matters Member to take any action left to the determination of an individual Member under Sections 6222 through 6231 of the Code.

6.3 Capital Accounts.

(a) The Company shall maintain for each Member on the books of the Company a capital account (a “Capital Account”). Each Member’s Capital Account shall be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) The Capital Account of a Member shall be credited with the amount of all Capital Contributions by such Member to the Company. The Capital Account of a Member shall

be increased by the amount of any Net Income (or items of gross income) allocated to such Member pursuant to this Article 6, and decreased by (i) the amount of any Net Losses (or items of loss or deduction) allocated to such Member pursuant to this Article 6 and (ii) the amount of any cash distributed to such Member and (iii) the fair market value of any asset distributed in kind to such Member (net of all liabilities secured by such asset that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code). The Capital Account of the Member also shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect any other adjustment required pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 or 1.704-2.

(c) In the event that any Interest in the Company is Transferred, the transferee of such Interest shall succeed to the portion of the transferor’s Capital Account attributable to such Interest.

(d) For purposes of this Article 6, the Manager may apply any reasonable convention in determining the date during the same month on which any Member is admitted to the Company.

6.4 Allocations.

(a) General. Except as provided in Section 6.4(b) and as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Losses, and, to the extent necessary, individual items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction, shall be allocated to the Members in such amounts, to the maximum extent possible, to make the Adjusted Capital Account Balances of the Members (after the application of this Section 6.4(a)) to be in proportion to the Members’ Percentage Interests.

(b) Special Allocations.

(i) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member receives an unexpected adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in Section l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4-6) of the Treasury Regulations in any Fiscal Year or other period which would cause such Member to have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance as of the end of such Fiscal Year or other period, items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain) shall be specifically allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance as quickly as possible. This Section 6.4(b)(i) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset provision in Section l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Gross Income Allocation. If any Member would otherwise have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance as of the last day of any Fiscal Year or other period, individual items of income and gain of the Company shall be specifically allocated to such Member (in the manner specified in Section 6.4(b)(i)) so as to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible.

(iii) Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during a Fiscal Year or other period, each Member shall be

allocated items of Company gross income and gain for such Fiscal Year or other period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years or periods) in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Member’s share of such net decrease, except to the extent such allocation would not be required by Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations. The amounts referred to in this Section 6.4(b)(iii), and the items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 6.4(b)(iii) is intended to constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” provision as described in Section 1.704-2(f) or 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv) Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during a Fiscal Year or other period, then each Member shall be allocated items of Company gross income or gain equal to such Member’s share of such net decrease, except to the extent such allocation would not be required under Section l.704-2(i)(4) or 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. The amounts referred to in this Section 6.4(b)(iv) and the items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 6.4(b)(iv) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement contained in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(v) Limitations on Net Loss Allocations. With respect to any Member, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.4(a), the amount of Net Losses for any Fiscal Year or other period that would otherwise be allocated to a Member under Section 6.4(a) shall not cause or increase a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance. Any Net Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 6.4(b)(v) shall be allocated among the Members, pro rata, to the extent each, respectively, is liable or exposed with respect to any debt or other obligations of the Company.

(vi) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner nonrecourse deductions (as described in Section 1.704-2(i) of the Treasury Regulations) for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specifically allocated to the Members who bear the economic risk of loss with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Treasury Regulations.

(vii) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse deductions (as described in Section 1.704-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations) for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated to the Founding Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests.

(viii) Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. If the built-in gain in Company assets subject to Nonrecourse Debts exceeds the gain described in Section 1.752-3(a)(2) of the Treasury Regulations, the Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities shall be allocated (i) first, among the Founding Members up to the amount of built-in gain that is allocable to the Founding Members on Section 704(c) Property, (ii) second, among the Members other than the Founding Members up to the amount of built-in gain that is allocable to such other Members on Section 704(c) Property, and (iii) last, any remaining Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests.

(ix) Ordering Rules. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, allocations for any Fiscal Period or other period of nonrecourse deductions (as described in Section 1.704-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations) or partner nonrecourse deductions (as described in Section 1.704-2(i) of the Treasury Regulations), or of items required to be allocated pursuant to the minimum gain chargeback requirements contained in Sections 6.4(b)(iii) and 6.4(b)(iv), shall be made before any other allocations hereunder.

(x) Special Allocation. If, for federal income tax purposes, the Company is deemed to have made a deductible payment to a Member that is not actually paid, then notwithstanding Section 6.4(a), the deduction attributable to such payment shall be specially allocated to such Member.

(c) Curative Provisions. The allocations set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i)-(viii) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Section 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to allocate Net Income and Net Losses or make Company contributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, Members shall reallocate items of income, gain, deductions and loss among the Members so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Net Income and Net Losses (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Net Income and Net Losses (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) among the Members so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Member is zero. In addition, if in any Fiscal Year or other period there is a decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, or in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, and application of the minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in this Section 6.4 would cause a distortion in the economic arrangement among the Members, the Members may, if they do not expect that the Company will have sufficient other income to correct such distortion, request the Internal Revenue Service to waive either or both of such minimum gain chargeback requirements. If such request is granted, this Agreement shall be applied in such instance as if it did not contain such minimum gain chargeback requirements.

6.5 Allocations of Net Income and Net Losses for Federal Income Tax Purposes. The Company’s ordinary income and losses and capital gains and losses as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss or deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated to the Members in the same proportions as the corresponding “book” items are allocated pursuant to Section 6.4 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, federal income tax items relating to any Section 704(c) Property shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to take into account the difference between the fair market value and the tax basis of such Section 704(c) Property using any method approved by the Manager and prescribed under Treasury Regulations corresponding to Section 704(c) of the Code. Items described in this Section 6.5 shall neither be credited nor charged to the Members’ Capital Accounts.

6.6 Elections. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all elections required or permitted to be made by the Company under the Code or other applicable tax law, and all decisions with respect to the calculation of its taxable income or tax loss under the Code or other applicable tax law, shall be made in such manner as may be reasonably determined by the Manager; provided that the Company shall make (i) the election to amortize organizational expenses pursuant to Section 709 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and (ii) the TEFRA Election as provided in Section 6.2.

6.7 Tax Year. The taxable year of the Company shall be the same as its Fiscal Year.

6.8 Withholding Requirements. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Manager is authorized to take any and all actions that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Company satisfies any and all withholding and tax payment obligations under Section 1441, 1445, 1446 or any other provision of the Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Manager may withhold from distributions the amount that it determines is required to be withheld from the amount otherwise distributable to any Member pursuant to Article 5; provided, however, that such amount shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Member for purposes of applying Article 5 and this Article 6. The Manager will not withhold any amounts from cash or other property distributable to any Member to satisfy any withholding and tax payment obligations to the extent that such Member demonstrates to the Manager’s satisfaction that such Member is not subject to such withholding and tax payment obligation. In the event that the Manager withholds or pays tax in respect of any Member for any period in excess of the amount of cash or other property otherwise distributable to such Member for such period (or there is a determination by any taxing authority that the Company should have withheld or paid any tax for any period in excess of the tax, if any, that it actually withheld or paid for such period), such excess amount (or such additional amount) shall be treated as a recourse loan to such Member that shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent per annum and be payable on demand.

6.9 Reports to Members.

(a) The books of account and records of the Company shall be audited as of the end of each Fiscal Year by the Company’s independent public accountants.

(b) Within 60 calendar days after the end of each Fiscal Period of each Fiscal Year of the Company (or the next Business Day if the 60^th calendar day is not a Business Day), the Company shall send to each Person who was a Member during such period an unaudited report setting forth the following as of the end of such Fiscal Period:

(i) unless such Fiscal Period is the last Fiscal Period of the Fiscal Year, an unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such period;

(ii) unless such Fiscal Period is the last Fiscal Period of the Fiscal Year, an unaudited income statement of the Company for such period;

(iii) a statement of each Member’s Capital Account;

(iv) a summary of the Company’s activities during such period; and

(v) a cash flow statement.

(c) Within 100 calendar days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Company (or the next Business Day if the 100^th calendar day is not a Business Day), the Company shall send to each Person who was a Member during such period an audited report setting forth the following as of the end of such Fiscal Year:

(i) an audited balance sheet as of the end of such Fiscal Year;

(ii) an audited income statement of the Company for such Fiscal Year;

(iii) a statement of each Member’s Capital Account; and

(iv) a cash flow statement.

(d) The Company shall provide each Member with monthly “flash reports.”

(e) With reasonable promptness, the Manager will deliver such other information available to the Manager, including financial statements and computations, as any Member may from time to time reasonably request in order to comply with regulatory requirements, including reporting requirements, to which such Member is subject.

6.10 Auditors. The auditors of the Company shall be Deloitte & Touche LLP, unless otherwise determined by the Manager.

6.11 Transfers During Year. In order to avoid an interim closing of the Company’s books, the allocation of Net Income and Net Losses under this Article 6 between a Member who Transfers part or all of its Interest in the Company during the Company’s Fiscal Year and such Member’s transferee, or to a Member whose Percentage Interest varies during the course of the Company’s Fiscal Year, may be determined pursuant to any method chosen by the Manager.

6.12 Code Section 754 Election. Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company shall make the election provided for under Code Section 754.

ARTICLE 7

DISSOLUTION

7.1 Dissolution.

(a) The Company shall be dissolved and subsequently terminated upon the occurrence of the first of the following events:

(i) the unanimous decision of the Members that then hold Common Units to dissolve the Company;

(ii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to § 18-802 of the LLC Act; or

(iii) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining Member or the occurrence of any other event that causes the last remaining Member to cease to be a Member of the Company, unless the Company is continued without dissolution pursuant to Section 7.1(b).

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining Member of the Company to cease to be a Member of the Company (other than upon continuation of the Company without dissolution upon an assignment by the Member of all of its Interest in the Company and the admission of the transferee as a Member pursuant to Section 8.2), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such Member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such Member in the Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the Company and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute Member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such Member in the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the bankruptcy (as defined in §§ 18-101(1) and 18-304 of the LLC Act) of a Member shall not cause the Member to cease to be a Member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without dissolution.

7.2 Winding-Up. When the Company is dissolved, the business and property of the Company shall be wound up in an orderly manner by the Manager or by a liquidating trustee as may be appointed by the Manager (the Manager or such liquidating trustee, as the case may be, the “Liquidator”). If the Members are unable to agree with respect to the distribution of any Company assets, then the Liquidator shall use its reasonable best efforts to reduce to cash and Cash Equivalents such assets of the Company as the Liquidator shall deem it advisable to sell, subject to obtaining fair market value for such assets and any tax or other legal considerations. No Member shall take any action (with respect to the Company) that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Company’s business and affairs.

7.3 Final Distribution.

(a) As soon as reasonable following the event that caused the dissolution of the Company, the assets of the Company shall be applied in the following manner and order:

(i) to pay the expenses of the winding-up, liquidation and dissolution of the Company, and all creditors of the Company, other than Members, either by actual payment or by making a reasonable provision therefor, in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in § 18-804 of the LLC Act;

(ii) to pay, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, on a pro rata basis, the debts payable to all creditors of the Company that are Members, either by actual payment or by making a reasonable provision therefor; and

(iii) to distribute the remaining assets of the Company to the Members in accordance with Section 5.4(b), taking into account all adjustments to Capital Accounts or offsets required under this Agreement through the date of distribution.

(b) If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account in excess of any unpaid Capital Contributions (if any), such Member shall have no obligation to make any Capital Contribution to the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.

(c) Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the amounts distributable to it hereunder and shall have no right or power to demand or receive property therefor from any other Member.

(d) The Company shall terminate when (i) all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company shall have been distributed to the Member in the manner provided for in this Agreement, and (ii) the Certificate shall have been canceled in the manner required by the LLC Act.

ARTICLE 8

TRANSFER; SUBSTITUTION; ADJUSTMENTS

8.1 Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Member may, subject to Section 8.1(b), Transfer any or all of its Units. It is a condition to any Transfer by a Member (the “Transferring Member”) otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee (i) agrees to become a party to, and be bound by the terms of, this Agreement to the same extent as the Transferring Member, and (ii) assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the Transferring Member under this Agreement or to which such Transferring Member is a party with respect to such Transferred Units or other Equity Interests in the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Units or other Equity Interests in the Company shall be subject to any and all ownership limitations contained in this Agreement or any other agreement with the Company to which such Transferring Member is a party. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Member, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder.

(b) In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article 8, any purported Transfer or assignment of a Unit or other Equity Interests in the Company by any Member made in the following events shall be void ab initio:

(i) to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own Units;

(ii) if such Transfer would cause the Company to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code);

(iii) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101;

(iv) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Units pursuant to any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or would otherwise violate any federal, state or foreign securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the Units;

(v) if such Transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or such Transfer would result in a materially increased risk that the Company would he treated as a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code;

(vi) if such Transfer subjects the Company to be regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended;

(vii) if such Transfer may cause the Company to cease to be classified as a partnership for federal or state income tax purposes;

(viii) if such Transfer violates any applicable laws; or

(ix) if the Company does not receive written instruments (including without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as an assignee) that are in a form satisfactory to the Manager (in its sole and absolute discretion).

8.2 Substituted Members.

(a) No Member shall have the right to substitute a transferee as a Member in his or her place with respect to any Units or other Equity Interests in the Company so Transferred (including any transferee permitted by Section 8.1) unless (i) such Transfer is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and any other agreements with the Company or other Members to which such transferor Member is a party and (ii) such transferee assumes, by written instrument satisfactory to the Company pursuant to Section 8.l(b)(ix) above, all the rights and powers and is subject to all the restrictions and liabilities that were applicable to the transferor by virtue of the transferor’s ownership of the Units or other Equity Interests in the Company being Transferred.

(b) Except as provided in Section 8.2(c) and otherwise in this Agreement, a transferee who has been admitted as a Member in accordance with Section 8.2(a) shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement holding the same Units or other Equity Interests in the Company. The admission of any transferee as a Member shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.1.

(c) In the event of a Transfer by a Founding Member, the transferee shall not have the rights and powers of a Founding Member under this Agreement unless (i) the transferee is a Permitted Transferee of the Founding Member prior to and following the Transfer, or (ii) in the case of a direct or indirect Change of Control of the Founding Member, or any direct or indirect holder of equity in the Founding Member, following the Change of Control the Founding Member’s ESA Party or its stockholders owns 50% or more of the general voting power of the transferee.

8.3 Effect of Void Transfers. No Transfer of any Units owned by a Member in violation hereof shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company, and any such purported Transfer shall be void and of no effect.

ARTICLE 9

REDEMPTION RIGHT OF MEMBER

9.1 Redemption Right of a Member.

(a) Each Member (other than NCM Inc.) shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem its Common Units (the “Redemption Right”) from time to time. A Member desiring to exercise its Redemption Right (the “Redeeming Member”) shall exercise such right by giving written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Company (with a copy to NCM Inc.). The Redemption Notice shall specify the number of Common Units (the “Redeemed Units”) that the Redeeming Member intends to have the Company redeem and a date, which is not less than seven (7) Business Days nor more than 10 Business Days after delivery of the Redemption Notice, on which exercise of the Redemption Right shall be completed (the “Redemption Date”). Unless the Redeeming Member has timely delivered a Retraction Notice as provided in Section 9.1(b), on the Redemption Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date) (i) the Redeeming Member shall transfer and surrender the Redeemed Units to the Company, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and (ii) the Company shall (x) cancel the Redeemed Units, (y) transfer to the Redeeming Member the consideration to which the Redeeming Member is entitled under Section 9.1(b), and (z) issue to the Redeeming Member pursuant to Section 3.4(h) a certificate for a number of Common Units equal to the difference (if any) between the number of Common Units evidenced by the certificate surrendered by the Redeeming Member pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 9.1(a) and the Redeemed Units.

(b) In exercising its Redemption Right, a Redeeming Member, at NCM Inc.’s option as provided in Section 3.5(b) and subject to Section 9.1(d), shall be entitled to receive the Share Settlement or the Cash Settlement. Within three (3) Business Days of delivery of the Redemption Notice, NCM Inc. shall give written notice (the “Contribution Notice”) to the Company (with a copy to the Redeeming Member) of its intended settlement method; provided that if NCM Inc. does not timely deliver a Contribution Notice, NCM Inc. shall be deemed to have elected the Share Settlement method. If NCM Inc. elects the Cash Settlement method, the Redeeming Member may retract its Redemption Notice by giving written notice (the “Retraction Notice”) to the Company (with a copy to NCM Inc.) within two (2) Business Days of delivery of the Contribution Notice. The timely delivery of a Retraction Notice shall terminate all of the Redeeming Member’s, Company’s and NCM Inc.’s rights and obligations under this Section 9.1 arising from the Redemption Notice.

(c) The number of shares of NCM Inc. common stock and the Redeemed Units Equivalent that a Redeeming Member is entitled to receive under Section 9.1(b) (whether

through a Share Settlement or Cash Settlement) shall not be adjusted on account of any distributions previously made with respect to the Redeemed Units or dividends previously paid with respect to NCM Inc. common stock; provided, however, that if a Redeeming Member causes the Company to redeem Redeemed Units and the Redemption Date occurs subsequent to the record date for any distribution with respect to the Redeemed Units but prior to payment of such distribution, the Redeeming Member shall be entitled to receive such distribution with respect to the Redeemed Units on the date that it is made notwithstanding that the Redeeming Member transferred and surrendered the Redeemed Units to the Company prior to such date.

(d) In the event of a reclassification or other similar transaction as a result of which the shares of NCM Inc. common stock are converted into another security, then in exercising it Redemption Right a Redeeming Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security that the Redeeming Member would have received if such Redemption Right had been exercised and the Redemption Date had occurred immediately prior to the record date of such reclassification or other similar transaction.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.1 and Section 3.5(b) shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with the corresponding provisions of NCM Inc.’s certificate of incorporation.

9.2 Effect of Exercise of Redemption Right. This Agreement shall continue notwithstanding the exercise of a Redeeming Member’s Redemption Right and all governance or other rights set forth herein shall be exercised by the remaining Members and the Redeeming Member (to the extent of such Redeeming Member’s remaining Interest in the Company). No exercise of a Redeeming Member’s Redemption Right shall relieve such Redeeming Member of any prior breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the exercise of a Redeeming Member’s Redemption Right, the Exhibitor Services Agreement executed between such Redeeming Member’s ESA Party (if such Redeeming Member is a Founding Member) and the Company shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of such Exhibitor Services Agreement. The Redeeming Member (if a Founding Member) and its Affiliates shall retain all ownership and rights with respect to its theatres and other assets that are not Contributed Assets (as defined in Section 2.5 of the Contribution and Unit Holders Agreement). All Contributed Assets of such Member shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Agreement to Cooperate; Further Assurances. In case at any time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and Managers of the Company and each Member and their respective Affiliates shall execute such further documents (including assignments, acknowledgments and consents and other instruments of Transfer) and shall take such further action as shall be necessary or desirable to effect such Transfer and to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law.

10.2 Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including as provided in Sections 4.3(b)(vi) and 4.3(b)(xix)), amendments to this Agreement shall require a Majority Member Vote; provided, however, that (i) this Agreement may not be amended so as to materially impair the voting power or economic rights of any outstanding Common Units in relation to any other outstanding Units or of any Member in relation to the other Members, in either case, without the consent of each Member and the holders representing a majority of the then issued and outstanding Units or the affected Member, as the case may be, and (ii) Article 8 may only be amended with the approval of the Manager and a Majority Member Vote.

(a) (i) Each Member shall use and cause its Affiliates to use the same degree of care it uses to safeguard its own Confidential Information (as defined below) and to cause its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives to keep confidential all Confidential Information, including but not limited to Intellectual Property and other Proprietary Information of the other Members and the Company, and

(ii) Each Member shall hold and shall cause its Affiliates to hold and shall cause its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives to hold in confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of counsel, by the requirements of law, all documents and information concerning any other party hereto furnished it by such other party or its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (together with the information referred to in clause (i) above, the “Confidential Information”)), except to the extent that any such information can be shown to have been (A) previously known by the party to which it is furnished lawfully and without breaching or having breached an obligation of such party or the disclosing party to keep such documents and information confidential, (B) in the public domain through no fault of the disclosing party, or (C) independently developed by the disclosing party without using or having used the Confidential Information.

An assignment of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder, including but not limited to an assignment by operation of law, shall be null and void unless a provision of this Agreement specifically provides otherwise or the Company gives its prior written consent therefor.

10.6 Notices. All notices, demands or other communications to be given under or by reason of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by facsimile, electronic mail or nationally recognized overnight delivery service and shall be deemed given when received if delivered on a Business Day during normal business hours of the recipient or, if not so delivered, on the next Business Day following receipt.

10.8 Severability. If one or more of the provisions, paragraphs, words, clauses, phrases or sentences contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, then such provision, paragraph, word, clause, phrase or sentence shall be deemed restated to reflect the original intention of the parties as nearly as possible in accordance with applicable law and the remainder of this Agreement. The legality and enforceability of any such provision, paragraph, word, clause, phrase or sentence in every other respect and of the remaining provisions, paragraphs, words, clauses, phrases or sentences hereof will not be in any way impaired, it being intended that all obligations, rights, powers and privileges of the Company and the Members will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.

10.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(v) agrees to the entry of an order to enforce any resolution, settlement, order or award made pursuant to this Section by the state and federal courts located in Delaware or New York, New York and in connection therewith hereby waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, any claim that such resolution, settlement, order or award is inconsistent with or violative of the laws or public policy of the laws of Delaware or the State of New York or any other jurisdiction.

(c) In the event of any action or other proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party (as determined by the court) shall be entitled to payment by the non-prevailing party of all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the prevailing party, including any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any challenge to the jurisdiction or the convenience or propriety of venue of proceedings before any state or federal court located in Delaware or New York, New York.
