REORGANIZATION AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
SECTION 2.1 The Reorganization. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, SFX and Entertainment shall use their respective best efforts
to cause, prior to the Distribution Date, all of SFX's right, title and
interest in and to the Transferred Assets to be conveyed, assigned, transferred
and delivered to Entertainment, free and clear of all liens or encumbrances in
favor of SFX or its subsidiaries, and all of SFX's duties, obligations and
responsibilities under the Assumed Liabilities to be assumed by Entertainment
(the "Asset and Liability Transfer"). Such transfer and assumption shall be
effected by means of the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, which shall
be executed and delivered by each of SFX and
4
Entertainment prior to the Distribution Date. Subject to Section 7.3 hereof, to
the extent that any such conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries
shall not have been so consummated on the Distribution Date, SFX and
Entertainment shall cooperate to effect such consummation as promptly
thereafter as shall be practicable, it nonetheless being understood and agreed
by SFX and Entertainment that neither shall be liable in any manner to any
person who is not a party to this Agreement for any failure of any of the
transfers contemplated by this Article II to be consummated on or subsequent to
the Distribution Date. Whether or not all of the Transferred Assets or the
Assumed Liabilities shall have been legally transferred to, or assumed by,
Entertainment as of the Distribution Date, SFX and Entertainment agree that, as
of the Distribution Date, Entertainment shall have, and shall be deemed to have
acquired, complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Transferred
Assets, together with all of SFX's and its subsidiaries' rights, powers and
privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have assumed all of the
Assumed Liabilities and all of SFX's and its subsidiaries' duties, obligations
and responsibilities incident thereto in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
SECTION 2.2 Working Capital Adjustment.
(a) In the event that the Distribution occurs prior to the Closing
Date, then on the Distribution Date, the management of SFX shall make an
allocation of working capital between Entertainment and SFX, consistent with
the proper operation of SFX in its usual, regular and ordinary course and,
immediately after the effective time of the Distribution, SFX shall deliver to
Entertainment, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such bank
account as Entertainment shall specify, any positive amount allocated to
Entertainment.
(b) Not less than five business days prior to the Closing Date, SFX
shall deliver to Entertainment a good faith estimate of Working Capital (as
defined in Section 2.3(d)) as of the Closing Date (the "Estimated Working
Capital"), accompanied by a certificate by the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer of SFX certifying that the Estimated Working Capital
has been calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement and this Agreement.
If the Estimated Working Capital is a positive number, then at the Closing SFX
shall deliver to Entertainment, in immediately available funds by wire transfer
to such bank account as Entertainment shall specify, an amount of cash equal to
the Estimated Working Capital. If the Estimated Working Capital is a negative
number, then at the Closing Entertainment shall deliver to SFX, in immediately
available funds by wire transfer to such bank account as SFX shall specify, an
amount of cash equal to the Estimated Working Capital.
(c)(i) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, SFX will prepare
a statement of Working Capital as of the Closing Date, which will be audited by
Ernst & Young LLP (the "SFX's Working Capital Statement") at the expense of
SFX. SFX will deliver SFX's Working Capital Statement to Entertainment as soon
as practicable and in any event within ninety days after the Closing Date. If
within fifteen days following delivery of SFX's Working Capital Statement to
Entertainment, Entertainment has not given SFX notice of its objection to SFX's
Working Capital Statement (such notice must contain a statement of the basis of
such objection), then the Working Capital reflected on SFX's Working Capital
Statement shall be deemed final and conclusive and shall be the "Final Working
Capital." If Entertainment gives such notice of objection within the fifteen
day period, then the issues in dispute will be submitted to a "big six"
accounting firm (other than Ernst & Young LLP) to be selected jointly by
Entertainment and Parent within the following fifteen days or, if they fail to
agree, such accounting firm shall be Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (Chicago office) (it being
understood that the Chicago office of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx was chosen because of
representations made that neither Parent and its Affiliates, SFX and its
Affiliates nor
5
Entertainment and its Affiliates have a material relationship with such office,
and if any of such parties prior to the calculation of the Final Working
Capital develops a material relationship with such office, the party having
such a relationship shall promptly notify the other party of such relationship
and the parties shall select another office of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx or another "big
six" accounting firm with which none of such parties has a material
relationship to serve as the accountants) (the "Accountants"), for resolution,
and the Accountants shall determine the "Final Working Capital" within thirty
days after the dispute is submitted to them. If issues in dispute are submitted
to the Accountants for resolution, (A) each party will furnish to the
Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to
the disputed issues as the Accountants may request and are available to that
party or its Subsidiaries (or its independent public accountants), and will be
afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to
the determination and to discuss the determination with the Accountants; (B)
the determination by the Accountants of Final Working Capital, as set forth in
a notice delivered to both parties by the Accountants, will be binding and
conclusive on the parties; and (C) Entertainment and SFX will each bear
one-half of the fees and expenses of the Accountants for such determination.
SFX shall make its employees and books and records available to Entertainment
for purposes of verifying Final Working Capital and shall cause Ernst & Young
LLP to make its work papers used in determining Final Working Capital available
to Entertainment.
(ii) On the third business day following the determination of the
Final Working Capital (the "Payment Date"), (A) if the Working Capital
Adjustment Amount (as defined below) is a positive number, then SFX will pay
such amount to Entertainment in immediately available funds by wire transfer to
such bank account as Entertainment shall specify and (B) if the Working Capital
Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then Entertainment will pay such amount
to SFX in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account
specified by SFX. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Entertainment has notified
SFX in writing prior to the Payment Date that it wishes to have all or any
portion of the Final Working Capital (such amount, the "Consideration
Adjustment") treated as an adjustment to the Class A Common Stock Merger
Consideration and the Class B Common Stock Merger Consideration, the Class A
Common Stock Merger Consideration and the Class B Common Stock Merger
Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the quotient of the
Consideration Adjustment divided by the fully diluted number of shares of SFX
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and SFX shall
(X) promptly distribute the appropriate amount to the appropriate holders,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, of SFX Common Stock and Series D
Preferred Stock, (Y) promptly distribute upon exercise the appropriate amount
to holders of Options, Warrants and Unit Purchase Options unexercised
immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (Z) promptly distribute the
appropriate amount to holders of Options, Warrants, and Unit Purchase Options
who exercised such securities on and after the Effective Time and prior to the
Payment Date; provided that as a condition precedent to SFX's obligations under
this sentence, Entertainment shall have paid to SFX in immediately available
funds by wire transfer to an account specified by SFX the difference, if any,
between the Consideration Adjustment and the Working Capital Adjustment Amount
so that the aggregate net amount to be paid or received by SFX, as the case may
be, pursuant to this sentence is equal to the amount that would have been paid
or received, as the case may be, pursuant to the first sentence of this
paragraph had the Consideration Adjustment not been made.
(d) The term "Working Capital" shall mean, as of the point in time
immediately prior to the Effective Time, the sum of all current assets of SFX
and its consolidated Subsidiaries minus the sum of all current liabilities of
SFX and its consolidated Subsidiaries, each as determined in accordance with
GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the balance sheet of SFX as of June 30,
1997 included in Company SEC Documents (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
(provided that no liabilities or reserves reflected on
6
such balance sheet shall be reduced or eliminated except by reason of a
payment or credit occurring in the ordinary course of business and consistent
with past practices).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Working Capital shall, without
duplication either in this computation or as between this computation and the
computation of Excess Debt, (i) be increased by the lesser of (A) 50% of all
fees and expenses incurred by SFX in connection with acquiring consents from
holders of the Series E Preferred Stock and the 2006 Notes in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (B) $1,000,000, (ii)
be increased by, if a positive number, or decreased by, if a negative number,
the product of (A) the Class A Common Stock Merger Consideration and (B) the
difference between 15,589,083 less the sum of the fully diluted number of
shares of SFX Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
(excluding the Xxxxxxx Shares (as defined below)) (calculated in a manner
consistent with Section 3.01(c)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, such
calculation to include, without limitation, derivative securities that will
become issuable upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement), (iii) be reduced by the difference between $84,554,649 less
the sum of (A) the aggregate exercise price of all Options, Warrants and Unit
Purchase Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time plus (B)
the aggregate exercise price of all Unit Purchase Option Warrants underlying
Unit Purchase Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time plus
(C) the aggregate base price of all SARs outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time, (iv) be reduced by the product of (A) $42 and (B) the aggregate
number of shares of SFX Common Stock subject to a right of repurchase in favor
of SFX (the "Xxxxxxx Shares") granted pursuant to that certain Agreement of
Merger dated February 12, 1997 among SFX, Nederlander of Connecticut, Inc. and
the other parties thereto outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time,
(v) be increased by all capital expenditures paid by SFX and its Subsidiaries
after June 30, 1997 and immediately prior to the Effective Time permitted by
Section 4.01(a)(viii) of the Merger Agreement, (vi) be decreased by all accrued
capital expenditures of SFX as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (to
the extent not reflected in current liabilities), (vii) be increased by
dividends that have been accrued immediately prior to the Effective Date whose
regularly scheduled payment date has not then yet occurred, (viii) except as
required by clause (xi) below, exclude any liabilities attributable to
Indebtedness, (ix) exclude any liabilities included in clauses (i) through (v)
of the following sentence, (x) be decreased by unpaid costs, fees and expenses
of SFX arising out of, based upon or that will arise from the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement (other than as a result of actions taken
by Sub) (including, without limitation, amounts related to the termination of
any employees, broker fees, legal, accounting and advisory fees and fees
incurred in connection with third party consents, waivers and amendments of
creditors or holders of Preferred Stock), (xi) be reduced by the amount of the
Excess Debt, if a positive number, or be increased by the amount of the Excess
Debt, if a negative number, (xii) be reduced by the amount of the Series E
Premium (as defined below), and (xiii) be reduced by the difference between (A)
the aggregate amount to be paid by SFX pursuant to the Memorandum of
Understanding dated March 17, 1998, relating to the shareholder litigation in
connection with the Merger and (B) any amounts to be paid by SFX's director and
officer insurance policy.
The term "Series E Premium" shall mean the difference between (i) the
Average Trading Price times 142,032 and (ii) 14,203,200. The term "Average
Trading Price" shall mean the highest of the following averages: (i) the
average of the last sales price of the Series E Preferred Stock during the 15
consecutive business days ending on the Closing Date, or (ii) the average of
the last sales price of the Series E Preferred Stock during the 15 consecutive
business days immediately preceding February 9, 1998.
(e) The term "Excess Debt" shall mean, as of immediately prior to the
Effective Time, the difference between the sum of the following and
$899,700,000: (i) the difference between (A)
7
Indebtedness of SFX and its consolidated Subsidiaries less (B) the difference
between $70,000,000 and any amounts (other than the reimbursement of expenses)
actually received by SFX and its consolidated subsidiaries after August 24,
1997 under agreements relating to the sale or LMA (such LMA payments not to
exceed $30,000 per month) of its WVGO-FM and the sale or LMA of its
Xxxxxxx/Biloxi radio stations, less (C) any Indebtedness incurred to finance
acquisitions approved by Parent of stock of or substantially all of the assets
of radio stations, less (D) interest accrued as of immediately prior to the
Effective Time that is not then due and payable, (ii) the Series B Merger
Consideration, (iii) the Series C Merger Consideration, (iv) the liquidation
preference amount of the Series E Preferred Stock, and (v) Environmental Costs

mean an amount equal to the Final Working Capital, less the Estimated Working
Capital, together with interest on the absolute value of the difference at 10%
per annum beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date of payment of
the Working Capital Adjustment Amount as provided in Section 2.02(c)(ii)
hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Working Capital shall not include any
asset transferred to Entertainment or any of its Subsidiaries, any Liability
assumed by Entertainment, or any Liability to which none of SFX or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party immediately after the Effective Time and any such
computation shall assume that the Distribution has been consummated.
(f) All amounts loaned to Entertainment by SFX to (i) acquire (whether
by merger, stock or asset acquisition or otherwise) additional businesses
engaged in the business in which Entertainment is engaged or (ii) make capital
improvements on assets owned or leased by Entertainment, shall be paid by
Entertainment to SFX by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank
account specified by SFX on the Distribution Date and shall not be considered
for purposes of computing Working Capital under clause (b) of this Section 2.3.
(g) If the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason in accordance
with its terms, then the working capital shall be allocated in accordance with
Section 2.3(a) above, and no further adjustments to working capital shall be

of any other agreement entered into by SFX or Entertainment, then the
provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements (and any Conveyancing
and Assumption Instrument or other instrument of assumption entered into
pursuant to this Agreement) shall control. In the event and to the extent there
shall be a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions
of the Related Agreements, then the provisions of the Related Agreements shall
control.
ARTICLE 4
THE DISTRIBUTION
SECTION 4.1 The Distribution.
(a) On or prior to the Distribution Date, SFX shall deliver to the
Agent for the benefit of holders of record of SFX Common Stock, Series D
Preferred Stock and interests in the SFX Director Deferred Stock Ownership Plan
on the Record Date, (i) certificates representing, in the aggregate, the number
of shares of Entertainment Class A Common Stock equal to the sum of (A) the
number of shares of SFX Class A Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date,
(B) the aggregate number of shares of SFX Class A Common Stock credited
pursuant to the SFX Director Deferred Stock Ownership Plan and (C) the product
of the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding on the Record
Date multiplied by the Conversion Rate (as defined in the certificate of
designations governing the Series D Preferred Stock) and (ii) certificates
representing, in the aggregate, the number of shares of Entertainment Class B
Common Stock equal to the number of shares of SFX Class B Common Stock
outstanding on the Record Date. SFX shall instruct the Agent to distribute as
promptly as practicable following the Distribution Date to holders of the SFX
Common Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and interests in the SFX Director
Deferred Stock Ownership Plan on the Record Date (i) one share of Entertainment
Class A Common Stock for every one share of SFX Class A Common Stock, (ii) one
share of Entertainment Class A Common Stock for every one share of SFX Class A
Common Stock credited pursuant to the SFX Director Deferred Stock Ownership
Plan, (iii) the number of shares of Entertainment Class A Common Stock (rounded
down to the next whole share for each holder) equal to the Conversion Rate (as
defined in the Certificate of Designations governing the
9
Series D Preferred Stock) for every one share of Series D Preferred Stock and
(iv) one share of Entertainment Class B Common Stock for every one share of SFX
Class B Common Stock. Simultaneously with the Distribution, SFX shall place
that number of shares of the Entertainment Class A Common in an escrow account
with an escrow agent selected by SFX and governed by an escrow agreement
reasonably acceptable to SFX and Parent for delivery to the holders of the IPO
Warrants, and SCMC Warrants upon exercise of such warrants that equals the
number of shares of Entertainment Class A Common Stock that the holders of such
warrants would have been entitled to receive if they had exercised all of their
IPO Warrants, and SCMC Warrants immediately prior to the Record Date. SFX and
Entertainment agree to provide to the Agent sufficient certificates in such
denominations as the Agent may request in order to effect the Distribution. All
of the shares of Entertainment Common Stock issued in the Distribution shall be
fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights.
(b) The Distribution shall be deemed to be effective on the
Distribution Date.
SECTION 4.2 Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing
fractional shares of Entertainment Common Stock shall be issued as part of the
Distribution and in lieu of receiving fractional shares, each holder of a
warrant who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of
Entertainment Common Stock upon exercise of such warrant, after aggregating all
shares of Entertainment Common Stock which such holder would be entitled to
receive under Section 4.1, will receive cash for such fractional share. SFX and
Entertainment agree that Entertainment shall instruct the Agent to determine
the number of whole shares and fractional shares of Entertainment Common Stock
allocable to each holder of record of such warrant as of the date of exercise,
to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole
shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then prevailing prices on
behalf of holders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares
interests and to distribute to each such holder such holder's ratable share of
the total proceeds of such sale promptly after the date of exercise. SFX shall
bear the costs of commissions incurred in connection with such sale.
SECTION 4.3 SFX Employees. If the Distribution occurs prior to the
Closing Date, the Distribution Employees shall continue to be employed by SFX
(at SFX's expense), but shall devote such time as deemed reasonably necessary
to, consistent with their obligations to SFX, support the conduct of the
Entertainment Business by Entertainment on a basis consistent with the time and
scope of services that such employees devoted and provided to the Entertainment
Business prior to the Distribution. Effective immediately prior to the
Effective Time, Entertainment shall assume all obligations arising under any
employment agreement or arrangement (written or oral) between SFX or any of its
Subsidiaries and the Distribution Employees other than the rights, if any, of
the Distribution Employees to receive the options upon termination following a
change of control as defined in their respective employment agreements (the
"Termination Options") immediately prior to the Effective Time (with such
Termination Options being deemed granted as of such time) and all existing
rights to indemnification. SFX and its Subsidiaries, effective as of the
Effective Time (or effective as of the Distribution Date as to any member of
the Distribution Employees that devotes substantially all of his or her
business time to the Entertainment Business), shall be indemnified by
Entertainment in accordance with Article 5 hereof from all obligations arising
under such employment agreements or arrangements (except in respect of the
Termination Options and all existing rights to indemnification). Neither party
shall, directly or indirectly, solicit the employment of any employees of the
other party or its subsidiaries (other than as a result of a general
solicitation for employment); provided, however, that Entertainment may solicit
and contract for the employment effective no earlier than the Effective Time of
the Merger, of Distribution Employees.
10
SECTION 4.4 SFX Board Action. The Board of Directors of SFX, in its
discretion, shall establish the Record Date and the Distribution Date and all
appropriate procedures in connection with the Distribution, subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in Article 10.
SECTION 4.5 Registration and Listing; SEC Filings.
(a) Prior to the Distribution Date:
(i) SFX and Entertainment shall register the Distribution under
applicable federal and state securities laws if such registration is either
required under applicable law or would otherwise be required to cause the
securities issued in connection with the Distribution to be freely transferable
by Persons not Affiliates of Entertainment. SFX and Entertainment shall use
reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective
under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable. In connection
with such registration, Entertainment shall file a Form 8-A, if necessary, with
the SEC.
(ii) The parties hereto shall use reasonable efforts to take all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate under state securities and blue sky
laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(iii) Entertainment shall prepare, file and seek to make effective,
subject to official notice of issuance, an application for the listing of the

of quotations for the Entertainment Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock
Market.
(iv) The parties hereto shall cooperate in preparing, filing with the
SEC and causing to become effective any registration statements or amendments
thereto which are necessary or appropriate in order to effect the transactions
contemplated hereby.
(b) Entertainment hereby represents and warrants to SFX that each of
the Registration Statement and the Consent Solicitation Documents and each
amendment or supplement thereto did not, at the time it became effective or was
mailed, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent
that any such untrue statement or material omission was made by Entertainment
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by
Parent, its representatives or affiliates to Entertainment specifically for use
in such filing.
SECTION 4.6 Third Party Consents. SFX shall obtain all necessary third
party consents to the Distribution except where the failure to obtain such
consents, in the aggregate, would not (a) have a Material Adverse Effect on
SFX, (b) impair the ability of SFX to perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents in any material respect or (c) delay in any material
respect or prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents. The Distribution shall be effected in compliance
with SFX's certificate of incorporation and by-laws and in material compliance
with all applicable laws and shall be subject to obtaining all applicable
consents of Governmental Entities.
SECTION 4.7 Waivers. Prior to the Distribution Date, SFX and
Entertainment shall obtain from
11
Xxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx a release or waiver of any rights that either of
them may have to purchase or acquire all or part of the Delsener/Xxxxxx Group.
SECTION 4.8 Termination of Merger Agreement. If the Merger Agreement
is terminated for any reason in accordance with its terms, the Boards of
Directors of SFX and Entertainment shall appoint committees (the "Independent
Committees") composed solely of independent directors (none of whom shall serve
on both Boards of Directors) and shall authorize the Independent Committees to
negotiate with each other in good faith with respect to (a) the Distribution
Employees, (b) a lease arrangement for the office space of Entertainment
utilized by SFX and (c) any other matters which the Boards deem necessary to
effectuate the separation of the respective affairs of SFX and Entertainment.
ARTICLE 5
SURVIVAL; MUTUAL RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 5.1 Survival and Indemnification.
(a) Except as specifically provided herein to the contrary, all
covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall
survive the Distribution Date.
(b) Except as specifically provided herein, the indemnification
provisions of this Article 5 shall terminate and be of no further force and
effect on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Distribution Date; provided,
however, that such provisions shall survive thereafter as to any claims for
indemnification asserted prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the
Distribution Date. Such termination shall in no way limit the obligations of
Entertainment with respect to the Assumed Liabilities or the obligations of SFX
with respect to the Retained Liabilities and related indemnification rights
under this Agreement, which shall survive indefinitely.
(c) The obligations of Entertainment and SFX under this Article 5
shall survive the sale or other transfer by either of them of any assets or
businesses or the assignment by either of them of any Liabilities. To the
extent that SFX assigns any of its Retained Liabilities (except for such
amounts of Retained Liabilities which are not material individually or in the
aggregate), SFX shall cause such transferee of such Retained Liabilities to
assume specifically its obligations with respect thereto under this Agreement
and to fulfill its obligations related to such Retained Liabilities. To the
extent Entertainment transfers to another party other than a Subsidiary of
Entertainment any of the Assumed Liabilities (except for such amounts of
Assumed Liabilities which are not material individually or in the aggregate),
Entertainment shall cause the transferee of such Assumed Liabilities to assume
specifically its obligations with respect thereto under this Agreement and to
fulfill its obligations related to such Assumed Liabilities. In the event the
transferee of the Retained Liabilities or Assumed Liabilities does not fulfill
its obligations with respect thereto, SFX and Entertainment, respectively,
shall fulfill their obligations with respect thereto.
SECTION 5.2 Mutual Release, Etc.
(a) Effective on the Distribution Date, and except for Claims arising
from or attributable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, this Agreement, the Related Agreements or Claims otherwise asserted
prior to the Effective Time, SFX does hereby, for itself and its Subsidiaries
(other than the Delsener/Xxxxxx Group), and anyone claiming through SFX or its
Subsidiaries, remise, release
12
and forever discharge the Delsener/Xxxxxx Group, their respective Affiliates
(other than SFX and its Subsidiaries), successors and assigns, the Executive
Group (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and all Persons who at any time
prior to the Distribution Date have been shareholders, directors or agents or
employees of any member of the Delsener/Xxxxxx Group (in each case, in their
respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all Claims whatsoever,
whether in law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether
arising under any contract or arrangement, by operation of law or otherwise,
existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or
alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing
or alleged to have existed on or before the Distribution Date.
(b) Effective on the Distribution Date, and except for Claims arising
from or attributable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, this Agreement, the Related Agreements or Claims otherwise asserted
prior to the Effective Time, Entertainment does hereby, for itself and its
Subsidiaries, and anyone claiming through Entertainment or its Subsidiaries,
remise, release and forever discharge SFX, their respective Affiliates (other
than the Delsener/Xxxxxx Group), successors and assigns and all Persons who at
any time prior to the Distribution Date have been shareholders, directors or
agents or employees of any member of the SFX and its Subsidiaries (in each
case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all Claims
whatsoever, whether in law or in equity (including any right of contribution),
whether arising under any contract or arrangement, by operation of law or
otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to
occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions
existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Distribution Date.
SECTION 5.3 Indemnification.
(a) SFX shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Delsener/Xxxxxx
Group from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses (other than income tax
liabilities) to which the Delsener/Xxxxxx Group may be or become subject that
(i) relate to the Retained Liabilities, assets, business, operations, debts or
Liabilities of SFX or its Subsidiaries (other than the Delsener/Xxxxxx Group)
whether arising prior to, concurrent with or after the Distribution or (ii)
result from a breach by SFX or its Subsidiaries (other than the Delsener/Xxxxxx
Group) of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement
or any Related Agreement. The rights of the directors, officers and employees
of the Delsener/Xxxxxx Group to seek indemnity from SFX shall continue to be
governed by the Merger Agreement or any other existing agreement addressing
such matter.
(b) Entertainment shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SFX and
its Subsidiaries (other than the Delsener/Xxxxxx Group) from and against any
and all Indemnifiable Losses (other than income tax liabilities) to which SFX
or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Delsener/Xxxxxx Group) may be or
become subject that (i) relate to the Transferred Businesses, Transferred
Assets, assets, business, operations, debts or Liabilities of the
Delsener/Xxxxxx Group, including, without limitation, Liabilities arising under
the Guarantees and Liabilities to be assumed by any member of the
Delsener/Xxxxxx Group as contemplated herein, whether arising prior to,
concurrent with or after the Distribution or (ii) result from a breach by a
member of the Delsener/Xxxxxx Group of any representation, warranty or covenant
contained in this Agreement or any Related Agreement.
(c) The amount which any party (an "Indemnifying Party") is required
to pay to any other party (an "Indemnitee") pursuant to Section 5.3(a) or
Section 5.3(b) shall be reduced (including,
13
without limitation, retroactively) by any insurance proceeds and other amounts
actually recovered by such Indemnitee in reduction of the related Indemnifiable
Loss. Amounts required to be paid are hereafter sometimes collectively called
"Indemnity Payments" and are individually called an "Indemnity Payment." If an
Indemnitee shall have received an Indemnity Payment in respect of an
Indemnifiable Loss and shall subsequently actually receive insurance proceeds
or other amounts in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss, then such Indemnitee
shall pay to such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the lesser of the amount of
such insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received or the net amount of
Indemnity Payments actually received previously. The Indemnitee agrees that the
Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such Indemnitee under any insurance
policy and that the Indemnitee shall not waive any right of subrogation.
SECTION 5.4 Procedure for Indemnification.
(a) If an Indemnitee shall receive notice of the assertion by a person
who is not a party to this Agreement of any claim or of the commencement by any
such person of any Action (a "Third Party Claim") with respect to which an
Indemnifying Party is or may be obligated to make an Indemnity Payment, such
Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party prompt notice thereof after
becoming aware of such Third Party Claim, specifying in reasonable detail the
nature of such Third Party Claim and the amount or estimated amount thereof to
the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final
amount of such claim); provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnitee to
give notice as provided in this Section 5.4 shall not relieve the related
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 5, except to the
extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to
give notice.
(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend, at such Indemnifying
Party's own expense and by such Indemnifying Party's own counsel (which counsel
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee), any Third Party Claim. If
an Indemnifying Party elects to defend a Third Party Claim, it shall, within 10
days of notice of such Third Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of such
Third Party Claim so requires), notify the related Indemnitee of its intent to
do so, and such Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense of such Third Party
Claim. Such Indemnifying Party shall pay such Indemnitee's actual out-of-pocket
expenses (other than officers' or employees' salaries) reasonably incurred in
connection with such cooperation. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an
Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Article 5
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in
connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that such Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent such Indemnitee
if, in such Indemnitee's reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between
such Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim,
and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel
shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party. Except as so provided, if an
Indemnitee desires to participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim, it may
do so but it shall not control the defense and such participation shall be at
its sole cost and expense. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to defend
against a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election
as provided in this Section 5.4, such Indemnitee may defend, compromise and
settle such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that no such Indemnitee may
compromise or settle any such Third Party Claim without prior written notice to
such Indemnifying Party and except by payment of monetary damages or other
money payments. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any compromise or settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnitee of a release from all Liability in respect to such Third Party
claim.
(c) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the
Indemnitee shall make
14
available to such Indemnifying Party any personnel or any books, records or
other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such
defense (the cost of copying thereof to be paid by the Indemnifying Party).
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.4,
there may be Third Party Claims which reasonably could result in both SFX and
Entertainment being liable to the other under indemnification provisions of
this Agreement. In any such events, the parties shall endeavor, acting
reasonably and in good faith, to agree upon a manner of conducting the defense
of or settlement of the Third Party Claim with a view to minimizing the legal
expenses and associated costs that might otherwise be incurred by the parties,
including to the use of the same legal counsel for the defense of such claim.
(e) Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Section
5.4, the indemnification provided for by this Section 5.4 shall not inure to
the benefit of any third party or parties and shall not relieve any insurer who
would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim of the responsibility with
respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof,
provided any subrogation rights with respect thereto.
(f) Any claim on account of an Indemnifiable Loss which does not
result from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by
the related Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying
Party shall have a period of 60 days within which to respond thereto. If such
Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 60-day period, such
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make
payment and shall have no further right to contest the validity of such claim.
If such Indemnifying Party does respond within such 60-day period and rejects
such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue the
remedies provided in Article 11 hereof.
ARTICLE 6
RELATED AGREEMENTS
SECTION 6.1 Tax Sharing Agreement. Except as contemplated in this
Section 6.1 hereof, any tax sharing agreement between any of the
Delsener/Xxxxxx Group and any of SFX and its Subsidiaries shall be terminated

ARTICLE 7
CERTAIN ADDITIONAL MATTERS
SECTION 7.1 Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection
with the transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery of the Transferred
Assets and the assumption of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, SFX
and Entertainment agree to execute or cause to be executed by the appropriate
parties and to deliver to each other, as appropriate, the Conveyancing and
Assumption Instruments.
SECTION 7.2 No Representations or Warranties. Entertainment
understands and agrees that SFX is not, in this Agreement or in any other
agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall SFX be deemed
or implied to be, representing or warranting in any way as to the value or
freedom from encumbrance of, or any other matter concerning, any Transferred
Assets or the Transferred Businesses or as to the legal sufficiency to convey
title to any Transferred Assets of the execution, delivery and filing of the
Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, IT BEING AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT
ALL SUCH ASSETS ARE BEING TRANSFERRED "AS IS, WHERE IS" and that Entertainment
shall bear the economic and legal risk that any conveyances of such assets
shall prove to be insufficient or that Entertainment's title to any such assets
shall be other than good and marketable and free from encumbrances.
SECTION 7.3 Further Assurances; Subsequent Transfers.
(a) Each of SFX and Entertainment will execute and deliver such
further instruments of conveyance, transfer and assignment and will take such
other actions as each of them may reasonably request of the other in order to
effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to carry out the terms hereof.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time and from time to
time after the Distribution Date, at the request of Entertainment, SFX will
execute and deliver to Entertainment such other instruments of transfer,
conveyance, assignment and confirmation and take such action as Entertainment
may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to more effectively
transfer, convey and assign to Entertainment and to confirm Entertainment's
title to all of the Transferred Assets, to put Entertainment in actual
possession and operating control thereof and to permit Entertainment to
exercise all rights with respect thereto (including, without limitation, rights
under contracts and other arrangements as to which the consent of any third
party to the transfer thereof shall not have previously been obtained). SFX
will take such actions as Entertainment may reasonably request in order to
prepare and implement appropriate plans, agreements and arrangements for the
Employees, and Entertainment will execute and deliver to SFX all instruments,
undertakings or other documents and take such other action as SFX may
reasonably request in order to have Entertainment properly assume and discharge
the Assumed Liabilities and relieve SFX of any Liability or obligations with
respect thereto and evidence the same to third parties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, SFX and Entertainment shall not be obligated, in connection with the
foregoing, to expend monies other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and
attorneys' fees (which expenses and fees shall be reimbursed by the requesting
party).
(b) SFX and Entertainment will use their commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain any consent required to assign all agreements, leases,
permits, licenses and other rights of any nature whatsoever relating to the
Transferred Assets to Entertainment; provided, however, that SFX shall not be
obligated to pay any consideration therefor (except as provided in Section 2.2
and except for filing fees and other administrative charges) to the third party
from whom such consents, approvals and amendments are
16
requested. In the event, and to the extent, that SFX is unable to obtain any
such required consent, SFX shall continue to be bound thereby and, unless not
permitted by law or the terms thereof, Entertainment shall pay, perform and
discharge fully all the obligations of SFX thereunder from and after the
Distribution Date and indemnify SFX for all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of
such performance by Entertainment in accordance with Article 5. SFX shall,
without further consideration therefor, pay, assign and remit to Entertainment
promptly all monies, rights and other considerations received in respect of
such performance. SFX shall exercise or exploit its rights and options under
all such agreements, leases, licenses and other rights and commitments referred
to in this Section 7.3(b) only as reasonably directed by Entertainment and at
Entertainment's expense. If and when any such consent shall be obtained or such
agreement, lease, license or other right shall otherwise become assignable or
able to be novated, SFX shall promptly assign and novate all its rights and
obligations thereunder to Entertainment without payment of further
consideration, and Entertainment shall, without the payment of any further
consideration therefore, assume such rights and obligations.
SECTION 7.4 Sales and Transfer Taxes. Entertainment and SFX agree to
cooperate to determine the amount of sales, transfer or other taxes or fees
(including, without limitation, all real estate, patent, copyright and
trademark transfer taxes and recording fees) payable in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Transaction Taxes"). SFX
agrees to file promptly and timely the returns for such Transaction Taxes with
the appropriate taxing authorities and remit payment of the Transaction Taxes,
and Entertainment will join in the execution of any such tax returns or other
documentation.
SECTION 7.5 Change of Name. Within 10 business days after the
consummation of the Merger, SFX and each of its Subsidiaries, if necessary,
shall file certificates of amendment with the appropriate Secretary of State,
amending such company's certificate of incorporation to change the name of such
Company to any name which does not include the letters "SFX." At the closing of
the Merger, SFX will assign to Entertainment or its designee all right, title
and interest, including all the good will related thereto, in and to the name
"SFX," together with all causes of action and the right to recover for past
infringements of the name "SFX." As soon as commercially practicable, but in no
event later than six months from the consummation of the Merger, SFX shall
cease all use of the name "SFX" or other trademarks, trade names or their
identifiers owned by, licensed to, or transferred pursuant to this Agreement
to, Entertainment in all modes.
ARTICLE 8
ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND SERVICES
SECTION 8.1 Provision of Corporate Records. As soon as practicable
after the Distribution Date, SFX shall deliver to Entertainment all Books and
Records in its possession. Such Books and Records shall be the property of
Entertainment from and after the Distribution Date, but shall be retained and
made available to SFX for review and duplication until the earlier of notice
from SFX that such records are no longer needed by SFX or the 20th anniversary
of the Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of retaining
any specific Books and Records, Entertainment may offer in writing to deliver
such Books and Records to SFX and, if such offer is not accepted within 90
days, the offered Books and Records may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of
at any time. If SFX shall request in writing prior to the scheduled date
17
for such destruction or disposal that any of the Books and Records proposed to
be destroyed or disposed of be delivered to SFX, Entertainment shall promptly
arrange for delivery of such of the Books and Records as was requested (at the
cost and expense of SFX).
SECTION 8.2 Access to Information. From and after the Distribution
Date, SFX and Entertainment shall afford to each other, and to each other's
authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives,
reasonable access and duplicating rights (with copying costs to be borne by the
requesting party) during normal business hours to all Books and Records and
other data and information (collectively, "Information") within each other's
possession relating to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred Businesses and
the Employees, insofar as such access is reasonably required by SFX or
Entertainment, as the case may be (and shall use reasonable efforts to cause
persons or firms possessing relevant Information to give similar access).
Information may be requested under this Article 8 for, without limitation,
audit, accounting, claims, litigation and tax purposes, as well as for purposes
of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations.
SECTION 8.3 Retention of Records. Except as otherwise required for a
longer period by law or agreed to in writing, SFX and Entertainment shall
retain, for a period of at least 20 years following the Distribution Date, all
material Information relating to the Transferred Businesses. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in lieu of retaining any specific Information, SFX or
Entertainment may offer in writing to deliver such Information to the other
and, if such offer is not accepted within 90 days, the offered Information may
be destroyed or otherwise disposed of at any time. If a recipient of such offer
shall request in writing prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or
disposal that any of the Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be
delivered to such requesting party, the party proposing the destruction or
disposal shall promptly arrange for delivery of such of the Information as was
requested (at the cost and expense of the requesting party).
SECTION 8.4 Confidentiality. Each of SFX and Entertainment shall hold,
and shall cause its officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to
hold, in strict confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or
administrative process or, in the opinion of its legal counsel, by other
requirements of law (including, without limitation, any requirements imposed
under state and federal securities laws and stock exchange rules), all
non-public Information concerning the other party furnished it by such other
party or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent
that such Information can be shown to have been (i) available to such party on
a non-confidential basis prior to this disclosure by the other party, (ii) in
the public domain through no fault of such party or (iii) later lawfully
acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished), and each
party shall not release or disclose such Information to any other person,
except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other
consultants and advisors who shall be bound by the provisions of this Section
8.4. Each party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to hold
confidential Information concerning or supplied by the other party if it
exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own
similar Information. SFX and Entertainment agree with each other that each will
maintain, preserve and assert, unless waived in writing by the other, all
attorney-client and work product privileges applicable to documents and other
Information that relate, directly or indirectly, to the Transferred Businesses
for any period prior to the Distribution Date.
SECTION 8.5 Privileged Matters. Anything herein or in the Merger
Agreement notwithstanding, the transactions contemplated hereby and by the
Merger Agreement shall not be deemed to transfer to or vest in SFX any right to
waive, nor shall they be deemed to waive, any attorney-client privilege between
SFX and its legal counsel with respect to legal advice concerning the business
or operations of Entertainment, including, without limitation, the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, this Agreement and
18
the Related Agreements, in any case, concerning privileged communications (or

occurrences prior to the Distribution Date. Entertainment shall pay all costs
incurred by SFX after the Distribution Date in defending or pursuing any such
claims under an insurance policy relating to the Transferred Businesses,
including the salaries of employees based on the portion of time spent on such
claims. Entertainment shall make available to SFX such of its employees as SFX
