MEMBERS AND UNITS

Section 3.1 Powers of Members. The Members shall have the power to exercise any
and all rights or powers granted to the Members pursuant to the express terms of
this Agreement. The approval or consent of the Members shall not be required in
order to authorize the taking of any action by the Company, unless and then only
to the extent that (i) this Agreement shall expressly provide therefor,
(ii) such approval or consent shall be required by any provision of the Delaware

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) Class B Units.

(i) Initial Issuance. In connection with the performance of services to or for
the benefit of the Company, the Company shall (within 90 days of the Effective
Date) issue to each Service Member a number of Class B Units equal to the
Service Member’s Maximum Unit Allocation.

(ii) Vesting. Class B Units held by a Service Member shall vest at the times and
to the extent that Deferred Equity Units are credited to the Service Member’s
Deferral Account under the Plan and shall be subject to forfeiture as provided
in Section 11.2; provided that if a Change in Control occurs prior to the date
on which unvested Class B Units were scheduled to vest pursuant to this
Section 3.2(d)(ii), then, immediately prior to such Change in Control, a number
of Class B Units shall vest equal to the number of Deferred Equity Units that

Section 8.1(a) of the Plan.

(iii) Benchmark Amount. The Benchmark Amount of each Class B Unit shall be
determined at the time such Class B Unit is issued to a Service Member and shall

(whether existing Members or Additional Members). Upon any such cancellation and
grant, the Managing Member shall reallocate the WMG Fractional Shares that were
allocated to such cancelled Class B Units of the Managing Member to the
newly-granted Class B Units of such Service Members, in which case the Benchmark
Amounts applicable to such newly-granted Class B Units shall be allocated to the
Managing Member.

(e) Class C Units. As of any date, a number of the Class A Units held by the
Managing Member shall be reclassified as Class C Units. The number of such
Class A Units reclassified as Class C Units as of any date shall equal the
number of Class B Units outstanding (whether vested or unvested) as of such
date. Class C Units shall not have any rights to distributions under this
Agreement.

(f) Redemption and Forfeiture. Units owned by Service Members are subject to
redemption and/or forfeiture as provided in Article XI.

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g) Adjustment Events. The number and kind of shares or other equity interests
to which Class A Units, Class B Units, Class C Units and WMG Fractional Shares
may relate, the number and kinds of securities deliverable and the Benchmark
Amounts shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect, as deemed equitable and
appropriate by the Managing Member, any stock dividend, stock split, share
combination, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, exchange
of shares or any other similar event affecting WMG Common Stock.

(h) Share Certificates. The Company may at any time and at the discretion of the
Managing Member issue one or more Share Certificates in the name of a Member in
respect of the issue or reallocation of a Unit to that Member and record the
issue or reallocation of such Unit to such Member in the records of the Company.

to be a Member of the Company upon the happening, with respect to such Person,
of any of the events specified in Section 18-304 of the Delaware Act.

their investment in the Company, in each case, upon the approval of the Managing
Member. The Managing Member shall approve the admission of or increased Capital
Contribution from any Person who contributes WMG Fractional Shares to the
Company pursuant to the Plan.

time such Person (i) executes a counterpart to this Agreement, (ii) complies
with the applicable Managing Member resolution, if any, with respect to such
admission and (iii) is named as a Member in Schedule A hereto. Upon the
admission of an Additional Member or an increased investment in the Company, to

determine the Benchmark Amounts with respect to any Class B Units issued at such
time to the Member; and (C) may cause the Company to issue one or more Share
Certificates in the name of such Additional Member (or existing Member) and
record the issuance of Units to such Additional Member (or existing Member) in
the records of the Company.

construed as providing any Member any right to continued employment by the

otherwise affecting any of such Member’s obligations or duties owed to WMG and
its Affiliates in his or her capacity as an employee of WMG or any of its

(v) solicit, induce or encourage any Restricted Employee in the United States to

Service Member shall not at any time make any statements, directly or

to, damage the business or reputation of WMG or any of its Affiliates, including
Access.

(d) Confidentiality. Each Service Member hereby covenants and agrees that such
Service Member shall not at any time, either during or following his or her
employment with WMG or any of its Affiliates, disclose or reveal to any Person
or make use of (otherwise than for the benefit of WMG or any of its Affiliates)
any trade secrets or information of a secret or confidential nature, including
without limitation, matters of a business nature, such as information about
costs, profits, markets, leases, details of recording or music publishing
agreements, distribution agreements, customer Contracts, manufacturing
processes, financial information, technical and production know-how,
developments, inventions, processes or administrative procedures, concerning the
business or affairs of WMG or any of its Affiliates, which the Service Member
may have acquired in the course of or incident to the Service Member’s
employment with WMG or any of its Affiliates, and the Service Member confirms
that all such information (“Confidential Information”) is the exclusive property
of WMG and its Affiliates. This Section 3.6(d) shall not apply to disclosures by
the Service Member (i) with the

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company’s consent, (ii) to the Service Member’s legal counsel in connection with
seeking legal advice related hereto, (iii) to the Service Member’s accountants
in connection with seeking financial or tax advice related hereto or (iv) as
required by law, a court of competent jurisdiction or regulatory agency or other
governmental authority. Nothing herein shall prevent the Service Member,
subsequent to the termination or expiration of his or her employment with WMG or
any of its Affiliates, from using or availing himself or herself of general
technical skills, knowledge and experience, including that pertaining to or
derived from the non-confidential aspects of the businesses of WMG or any of its
Affiliates. The term “Confidential Information” shall not include information
generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a breach
of this Section 3.6(d) by the Service Member. The Service Member agrees to hold
as WMG property all Confidential Information and all books, papers and other
data and all copies thereof and therefrom, in any way relating to the businesses
of WMG or any of its Affiliates, whether made or received by the Service Member,
and, on termination of employment or upon demand by WMG, to deliver the same to
WMG.

(e) Results and Proceeds of Employment. Each Service Member acknowledges and
agrees that WMG or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, shall own all
rights of every kind and character throughout the world in perpetuity in and to
any material and/or ideas written, suggested or in any way created by him or her
during his or her employment with WMG or any of its Affiliates and all other
results and proceeds of his or her employment with WMG or any of its Affiliates,
including, but not limited to, all copyrightable material created by him or her
within the scope of his or her employment. Each Service Member agrees to execute
and deliver to WMG or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, such
assignments or other instruments as the Company may require from time to time to
evidence WMG’s or any of its Affiliates’, as the case may be, ownership of the
results and proceeds of his or her services rendered to WMG or any of its
Affiliates.

(f) Remedies for Breach. Each Service Member acknowledges and agrees that the
covenants and obligations of such Service Member with respect to
non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, confidentiality and
results and proceeds of employment in this Agreement relate to special, unique
and extraordinary matters and that a violation or threatened violation of any of
the terms of such covenants or obligations will cause WMG and its Affiliates
(including the Company) irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not
available at law. Therefore, each Service Member agrees, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, that WMG or any of its Affiliates (including the Company)
shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable
relief (without the requirement to post bond) restraining such Service Member
from committing any violation of the covenants or obligations contained in this
Section 3.6. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and are in addition to any
other rights and remedies the Company, WMG or any of their Affiliates may have
at law or in equity. In connection with the foregoing provisions of this
Section 3.6, each Service Member represents that his or her economic means and
circumstances are such that such provisions will not prevent him or her from
providing for the Service Member and his or her family on a basis satisfactory
to him or her.

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g) Unenforceable Restriction. It is expressly understood and agreed that
although each Service Member and the Company consider the restrictions contained
in this Section 3.6 to be reasonable, if a final determination is made by an
arbitrator to whom the parties have assigned the matter or a court of competent
jurisdiction that any restriction contained in this Agreement is an
unenforceable restriction against any Service Member, the provisions of this
Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be reformed to apply as to such
maximum time and to such maximum extent as such arbitrator or court may
determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if such arbitrator or
court finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable,
and such restriction cannot be reformed so as to make it enforceable, such
finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions
contained herein.

Agreement be deemed to have been sold at its Fair Market Value and the proceeds
of such sale shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Members.

Section 6.3 No Withdrawal of Capital. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
Article XII, no Member shall have the right to withdraw capital from the Company
or to receive any distribution or return of such Member’s Capital Contributions.

Section 6.4 Withholding.

(a) Each Member shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
indemnify and hold harmless each Person who is or who is deemed to be the
responsible withholding agent for U.S. federal, state or local income tax
purposes against all claims, liabilities and expenses of whatever nature (other
than any claims, liabilities and expenses in the nature of penalties and accrued
interest thereon that result from such Person’s fraud, willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence) relating to such Person’s obligation to withhold and
to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the
Company or as a result of such Member’s participation in the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, (i) each Member
hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from payments to or Units of such
Member and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable
by the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to such Member or as a
result of such Member’s participation in the Company and (ii) if and to the
extent that the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be required to withhold
or pay any such taxes (including any amounts withheld from amounts payable to
the Company to the extent attributable, in the judgment of the Members, to the
interest of such Member in the Company), such Member shall be deemed for all
purposes of this Agreement to have received a payment from the Company as of the
time such withholding or tax is required to be paid, which payment shall be
deemed to be a distribution with respect to such Member’s interest in the
Company to the extent that the Member (or any successor to such Member’s
interest in the Company) is then entitled to receive a distribution. To the
extent that the aggregate of such payments to a Member for any period exceeds
the distributions to which such Member is entitled for such period, such Member
shall make a prompt payment to the Company of such amount.

(c) If the Company makes a distribution in kind and such distribution is subject
to withholding or other taxes payable by the Company on behalf of any Member,
such Member shall make a prompt payment to the Company of the amount of such
withholding or other taxes by wire transfer.

Section 6.5 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution
to any Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution
would violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other applicable law.

ALLOCATIONS

Section 7.1 Allocations to Capital Accounts. Except as provided in Section 7.2,

tax principles as applied to the maintenance of capital accounts), with respect
to any Accounting Period, including each item of income, gain, loss and
deduction of the Company, shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts as of
the end of such Accounting Period in a manner that as closely as possible gives
effect to the provisions of Article VI and the other relevant provisions of this
Agreement.

Section 7.2 Tax Allocations and Other Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Allocations. Each item of income, gain, loss or deduction recognized by
the Company shall be allocated among the Members for U.S. federal, state and
local income tax purposes in the same manner that each such item is allocated to
the Members’ Capital Accounts or as otherwise provided herein, provided that the
Managing Member may adjust such allocations as long as such adjusted allocations
have substantial economic effect or are in accordance with the interests of the
Members in the Company, in each case within the meaning of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations. Tax credits and tax credit recapture shall be allocated in
accordance with the Members’ interests in the Company as provided in Treasury
Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). All matters concerning allocations for U.S.
federal, state and local and non-U.S. income tax purposes, including accounting
procedures, not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be
determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion.

(b) Certain Actions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
(i) each Member shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and transferees
to, take any action requested by the Managing Member, and the Managing Member
may take any action, to ensure that the fair market value of any interest in the
Company that is transferred in connection with the performance of services is
treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as being equal to the “liquidation
value” (within the meaning of Prop. Treas. Reg. section 1.83-3(l)) of that
interest (and that each such interest in the Company is afforded pass-through
treatment for all applicable U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes)
and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent
required in order to attain or ensure such treatment under any applicable law,
Treasury Regulation, Revenue Procedure, Revenue Ruling, Notice or other guidance
governing partnership interests transferred in connection with the performance
of services, such action may include authorizing and directing the Company or
the Managing Member to make any election, agreeing to any condition imposed on
such Member, its Affiliates or its transferees, executing any amendment to this
Agreement or other agreements, executing any new agreement, making any tax
election or tax filing and agreeing not to take any contrary position.

administrative adjustment of Company items, (iii) file a petition with respect
to any Company item or other tax matters involving the Company or (iv) enter
into a settlement agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury with respect to
any Company items. Upon receipt of any such notification, the Managing Member,
if it agrees with such Member’s position, may in its sole discretion elect to
make such filing or enter into such agreement, as applicable and practicable, on
behalf of the Company. The cost of any audits or adjustments of a Member’s tax
return shall be borne solely by the affected Member. Each Member shall promptly
upon request furnish to the Managing Member any information that the Managing
Member may reasonably request in connection with any election or contemplated

the tax returns of the Company or its Affiliates.

utilized in preparing the Company’s U.S. income tax returns. Such books and
records shall be available for inspection and copying by the Members or their
duly authorized representatives during normal business hours for any purpose
reasonably related to such Member’s interest in the Company, provided that the
Company may maintain the confidentiality of Schedule A as it relates to other
Members.

Section 8.2 Filings of Returns and Other Writings; Tax Matters Partner.

(a) The Company shall timely file all Company tax returns and shall timely file
all other writings required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to

soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), the Company shall send to each
Person that was a Member at any time during such year copies of Schedule K-1,
“Partner’s Share of Income, Credits, Deductions, Etc.”, or any successor
schedule or form with respect to such Person, together with such additional
information as may be necessary for such Person to file his, her or its U.S.
federal income tax returns.

(b) The Managing Member shall be the tax matters partner of the Company, within
the meaning of section 6231 of the Code (the “Tax Matters Partner”). Each Member
hereby consents to such designation and agrees that upon the request of the Tax
Matters Partner, such Member will execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear
to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be
necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent.

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Promptly following the written request of the Tax Matters Partner, the
Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, reimburse and indemnify
the Tax Matters Partner for all reasonable expenses, including reasonable legal
and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred by the Tax
Matters Partner in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding
with respect to the tax liability of the Members.

(d) The provisions of this Section 8.2 shall survive the termination of the
Company or the termination of any Member’s interest in the Company and shall
remain binding on the Members for as long a period of time as is necessary to
resolve with the Internal Revenue Service any and all matters regarding the U.S.
federal income taxation of the Company or the Members.

ARTICLE IX

Company, and no Covered Person shall be obligated personally for any such debt,
obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Covered
Person.

Section 9.2 Exculpation. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any

to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under

for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions
of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities
of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the
parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered
Person.

Section 9.4 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of
such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it
shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the
Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section 9.4.

Section 9.6 Severability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if
any portion of this Article IX shall be invalidated on any ground by any court
of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each
Covered Person as to costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect
to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Company, to the

Section 10.1 Transfers of Interests by Members.

any Interests (including, without limitation, to any other Service Member or by
gift, by operation of law or otherwise), except as expressly provided in this
Agreement.

(b) Estate Planning Transfers; Transfers upon Death of a Service Member. Subject
to the prior written approval of the Managing Member (which approval may be
granted or withheld and/or be subject to such terms and conditions as the
Managing Member may require, in each case, in its sole discretion), the Class A
Units and vested Class B Units held by Service Members may be Transferred
(i) for estate-planning purposes to (A) a trust under which the distribution of
such Units may be made only to beneficiaries who are such Service Member, his or
her spouse, his or her parents, members of his or her immediate family or his or
her lineal descendants, (B) a charitable remainder trust, the income from which
will be paid to such Service Member during his or her life, (C) a corporation,
the shareholders of which are only such Service Member, his or her spouse, his
or her parents, members of his or her immediate family or his or her lineal

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

descendants or (D) a partnership or limited liability company, the partners or
members of which are only such Service Member, his or her spouse, his or her
parents, members of his or her immediate family or his or her lineal descendants
(each, an “Estate Planning Vehicle”) or (ii) as a result of the laws of descent,
provided, in each case, that such Estate Planning Vehicle or heirs, executors or
other beneficiaries shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement as if
such Service Member continued to hold such Units directly.

(c) Transfers by the Managing Member. The Managing Member and its Affiliates may
freely Transfer their respective Interests.

Section 10.2 Effect of Assignment. The Company shall, from the effective date of
any permitted assignment of an Interest (or part thereof), thereafter pay all
further distributions on account of such Interest (or part thereof) to the
assignee of such Interest (or part thereof).

Section 10.3 Overriding Provisions.

(a) Any Transfer in violation of this Article X shall be null and void ab initio
and the provisions of Section 10.2 shall not apply to any such Transfers. The
approval of any Transfer in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive
the requirement for such approval in any other or future instance.

(b) All Transfers permitted under this Article X are subject to this
Section 10.3, Section 10.4 and Section 10.5.

(c) Any proposed Transfer by a Member pursuant to the terms of this Article X
shall, in addition to meeting all of the other requirements of this Agreement,
satisfy the following conditions: (i) the Transfer will not be effected on or
through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market or the
substantial equivalent thereof,” as such terms are used in Treasury
Regulations § 1.7704-1, and, at the request of the Managing Member, the
transferor and the transferee will have each provided the Company a certificate
to such effect and (ii) the proposed Transfer will not result in the Company
having more than 99 Members, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations §
1.7704-1(h)(1) (determined pursuant to the rules of Treasury Regulations §
1.7704-1(h)(3)). The Managing Member may in its sole discretion waive the
condition set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 10.3(c).

(d) The Company shall promptly amend Schedule A to reflect any permitted
Transfers of Interests pursuant to this Article X.

Section 10.4 Involuntary Transfers. Any transfer of title or beneficial
ownership of Interests upon default, foreclosure, forfeit, divorce, court order
or otherwise than by a voluntary decision on the part of a Service Member (other
than the Managing Member) (each, an “Involuntary Transfer”) shall be void unless
such Member complies with this Section 10.4 and enables the Company to exercise
in full its rights hereunder. Upon any Involuntary Transfer, the Company shall
have the right to purchase such Interests pursuant to this Section 10.4 and the

 

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

person or entity to whom such Interests have been Transferred (the “Involuntary
Transferee”) shall have the obligation to sell such Interests in accordance with
this Section 10.4. Upon the Involuntary Transfer of any Interest, such Service
Member shall promptly (but in no event later than two business days after such
Involuntary Transfer) furnish written notice to the Company indicating that the
Involuntary Transfer has occurred, specifying the name of the Involuntary
Transferee, giving a detailed description of the circumstances giving rise, to
and stating the legal basis for, the Involuntary Transfer. Upon the receipt of
the notice described in the preceding sentence and for 90 days thereafter, the
Company shall have the right to purchase, and the Involuntary Transferee shall
have the obligation to sell, all (but not less than all) of the Interests
acquired by the Involuntary Transferee for a purchase price equal to the lesser
of (i) the Fair Market Value of such Interest and (ii) the amount of the
indebtedness or other liability that gave rise to the Involuntary Transfer.

Section 10.5 Substitute Members. In the event any Member Transfers its Interest
in compliance with the other provisions of this Article X (other than
Section 10.4), the transferee thereof shall have the right to become a
substitute Member, but only upon satisfaction of the following:

(a) execution of such instruments as the Managing Member deems reasonably
necessary or desirable to effect such substitution; and

(b) acceptance and agreement in writing by the transferee of the Member’s
Interest to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and
assumption of all obligations under this Agreement (including breaches hereof)
applicable to the transferor.

Section 10.6 Release of Liability. In the event any Member shall sell such
Member’s entire interest in the Company (other than in connection with an Exit
Event) in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10.4, without retaining any
interest therein, directly or indirectly, then the selling Member shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, be relieved of any further liability arising
hereunder for events occurring from and after the date of such Transfer;
provided, however, that no such Transfer shall relieve any Service Member of his
or her obligations pursuant to Section 3.6 and such obligations shall survive
any termination of such Service Member’s membership in the Company as set forth
in Section 3.6.

Section 10.7 Tag-Along and Drag-Along Rights.

(a) Tag-Along Rights. In the event that at any time Access proposes to Transfer
shares of WMG Common Stock to a Third Party (other than, following an Initial
Public Offering, shares sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act or any successor provision) or to WMG, then at least 15 days
prior to effecting such Transfer, Access shall give each Service Member written
notice of such proposed Transfer. Each Service Member shall then have the right
(the “Tag-Along Right”), exercisable by written notice to the Managing Member

 

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

prior to the proposed date of Transfer, to participate pro rata in such sale, by
causing the Company to sell the Service Member’s pro rata portion of the shares
of WMG Common Stock owned by the Company (which for any vested Class B Unit
shall be a fraction of the WMG Fractional Share underlying such Class B Unit
with the then Fair Market Value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of
a WMG Fractional Share over such Class B Unit’s Benchmark Amount) on
substantially the same terms (including with respect to representations,
warranties and indemnification) as Access; provided that the form of
consideration to be received by Access in connection with the proposed sale may
be different from that received by the Service Members so long as the value of
the consideration to be received by Access is the same or less than what they
would have received had they received the same form of consideration as the
Service Members (as reasonably determined by the Managing Member in good faith).
In the event Access sells less than 100% of its shares of WMG Common Stock, and
any Service Member exercises his or her Tag-Along Rights, participation “pro
rata in such sale” shall be based on the relative number of Class A Units held
by such Service Member, unless the Managing Member deems the provisions of
Section 10.7(c)(iv) operative. No Service Member shall have any Tag-Along Rights
in respect of unvested Class B Units.

(b) Drag-Along Rights. In the event that at any time Access desires to effect an
Exit Event (including a sale of all or a portion of the Interests), the Managing
Member shall have the right (the “Drag-Along Right”), upon written notice to the
Service Members, to require that each Service Member join pro rata in such sale,
by causing the Company to sell all or a portion of each Service Member’s shares
of WMG Common Stock owned by the Company (which for any vested Class B Unit
shall be a fraction of the WMG Fractional Share underlying such Class B Unit
with the then Fair Market Value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of
a WMG Fractional Share over such Class B Unit’s Benchmark Amount) or, if
applicable, each Service Member’s Interests pursuant to Section 10.7(c)(iv), on
substantially the same terms (including with respect to representations,
warranties and indemnification) as Access; provided that the form of
consideration to be received by Access in connection with the proposed sale may
be different from that received by the Service Members so long as the value of
the consideration to be received by Access is the same or less than what they
would have received had they received the same form of consideration as the
Service Members (as reasonably determined by the Managing Member in good faith).
No Service Member shall have a right to sell, or a right to any sale proceeds
from, any unvested Class B Units or shares of WMG Common Stock underlying
unvested Class B Units in an Exit Event.

(c) General Provisions.

(i) Each Service Member participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 10.7
shall agree to make customary representations and shall agree to customary
covenants, indemnities and agreements, so long as they are made severally and
not jointly among Access and the other sellers. To the extent that the Company
incurs any liability or loss as a result of the representations, warranties,
covenants, indemnities and agreements that the Company or the sellers are
required to agree to in connection with a sale pursuant to

 

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this Section 10.7, the proceeds to which a participating Service Member is
entitled shall be reduced (but not below zero), pro rata with Access and the
other sellers, by the amount of such liability or loss in proportion to the
number of shares of WMG Common Stock that the Company is selling or has sold on
behalf of such Service Member (or the Interests that such Service Member is
selling or has sold in such sale). Each participating Service Member shall also
represent to the Company at the time of any sale pursuant to this Section 10.7
that such Service Member has unencumbered title to its Units and the power,
authority and legal right to direct the Company to Transfer the WMG Fractional
Shares underlying such Units, provided that the aggregate amount of liability
for breach of any such representation shall not, together with any reduction in
proceeds pursuant to the prior sentence, exceed the value of the net proceeds to
be paid to such Service Member as a result of such sale.

(ii) In no event shall any Service Member be obligated to agree to any
non-competition covenant, employee non-solicit covenant or other similar
agreement restricting the Service Member as a condition to participating in a
transaction pursuant to this Section 10.7.

(iii) The Company and/or each Service Member participating in a sale of shares
of WMG Common Stock pursuant to this Section 10.7 shall, as applicable, bear
its, his or her pro rata share of any transaction costs and expenses, including
transfer taxes and legal, accounting and investment banking fees incurred by the
Company and Access in connection with such sale; provided that neither the
Company nor any Service Member shall be obligated to make any out-of-pocket
expenditure in respect of such costs, fees or expenses prior to the consummation
of a transaction consummated pursuant to this Section 10.7.

(iv) In the event that, in the Managing Member’s sole discretion, a sale
pursuant to this Section 10.7 is structured as a sale of Interests by the
Members, rather than a distribution of proceeds by the Company, the purchase
agreement governing such sale of Interests will have provisions therein which
replicate, to the greatest extent possible, the economic result which would have
been attained under this Article X had such a sale been structured as a
distribution of proceeds.

ARTICLE XI

Class B Units of such Affected Member then outstanding will be forfeited to the

Member shall fail to file a Section 83(b) election form in respect of the full
amount of the Service Member’s Class B Units, as of the grant date, with the
Internal Revenue Service and submit a copy thereof to the Company prior to the
30th day after the grant date of such Class B Units.

herein, unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member, in its sole
discretion, a Service Member who is a UK resident for the tax year in which he
or she is granted Class B Units shall forfeit all of his or her Class B Units
(without any payment to the Service Member in respect thereof) if the Service

the Service Member, in three equal installments on the Redemption Dates
applicable to an equal number of the Service Member’s Deferred Equity Units,
upon written notice to the Company no later than December 1st of the year in
which such Redemption Date is scheduled to occur, for a Class B Redemption
Payment; provided that no Class B Unit may be redeemed pursuant to this
Section 11.3(a) prior to the Redemption Date in the second succeeding calendar
year after such Class B Unit becomes vested. A Service Member may specify that a
Class B Redemption Payment be made with respect to any (or no) portion of such
Service Member’s Class B Units eligible for redemption on a Redemption Date (any
such Class B Units eligible for redemption but not redeemed, a “Retained Class B
Unit”).

written notice to the Company no later than December 1st of the year in which
such anniversary date occurs, of all or any portion of such Service Member’s
Retained Class B Units for a Class B Redemption Payment. Notwithstanding the

liquidated, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to allocate, on the
basis of the then current Fair Market Value of any Company assets not sold or
otherwise disposed of, any unrealized gain or loss based on such value to the
Members’ Capital Accounts as though the assets in question had been sold on the

such assets in accordance with Section 12.2 as if such Fair Market Value had
been received in cash, subject to the priorities set forth in Section 12.2, and
