event that the Existing Credit Agreement is restated, extended or amended as to
one or more of the following: principal amount, duration of term, rates, equity
participation, events of default, or rights of enforcement, which amendment,
restatement or extension requires a vote of the lenders under the Existing

lenders, if no administrative agent, and deliver to WEA the letter in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C2 (the “C2 Letter”). If the identity of the
Administrative Agent changes following the execution of the C1 Letter or the

from such new Administrative Agent.

3. Performance of Services; Subcontracting. Cinram shall perform the Services

Subcontractor is expressly covered by such terms and conditions). Cinram shall
be fully responsible and liable for the acts and omissions of any Cinram
subcontractor, including without limitation all Approved Subcontractors. If any

applicable law; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall any party
from whom WEA obtains services in substitution for any or all Services to be
provided hereunder have any liability whatsoever to Cinram arising out of or

party in connection with the provision of such services by such party to WEA.

(i) WEA’s rights to exercise and enforce the rights, restrictions, limitations
and qualifications imposed in Sections 3, 6, and 8 of this Agreement and Exhibit

unique, extraordinary and intellectual character, giving them a peculiar value
the loss of which by WEA (A) cannot be readily estimated, or adequately
compensated for, in monetary damages and (B) would cause WEA substantial and
irreparable harm for which it would not have an adequate remedy at law, and
(ii) WEA accordingly will be entitled to equitable relief against Cinram
(including without limitation temporary restraining orders, preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief, and specific performance), in addition to all other
remedies that WEA may have, to enforce the terms and conditions of such Sections
of and Exhibits to this Agreement and protect its rights hereunder. Except as

ordinary course of business (provided, that any such disclosure shall be limited
to those persons who agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 8).

(c) The obligations of WEA and Cinram under Sections 8(a) and 8(b) above shall
survive for three (3) years following the expiration or termination of the Term.

9. Force Majeure.

(a) If because of an “act of God”, inevitable accident, fire, lockout, strike or
other labor dispute, riot or civil commotion, act of public enemy or other cause
of a similar nature not reasonably within Cinram’s control (a “Force Majeure
Event”), Cinram is materially hampered in the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement or its normal business operations are delayed or become
impossible or commercially impracticable, then Cinram shall have the option, by
giving WEA written notice, to suspend its obligations under this Agreement
solely with respect to those M&P Services, PP&S Services and/or any other
Services, in each case, that are affected by such Force Majeure Event, effective
upon receipt by WEA of such notice, for the duration of any such contingency.
Should Cinram suspend its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 9(a) with respect to any M&P Services, PP&S Services and/or any other
Services, such suspension shall not constitute a breach hereunder and Cinram
shall not be subject to price rebates under Section 15 of Exhibit A (M&P Terms)
with respect to any occurrences during the pendency of any such suspension of
M&P Services, or price rebates under Section 14 of Exhibit B (PP&S Terms) with
respect to any occurrences during the pendency of any such suspension of PP&S
Services. Immediately upon Cinram’s assertion of its right to suspend its
obligations with respect to M&P Services, PP&S Services and/or any other
Services under this Agreement, WEA shall have the right to manufacture, package,
and/or distribute, as the case may be, Products itself or through third parties
during the pendency of such suspension (for purposes of clarity, WEA shall be
permitted to use third-party vendors to provide M&P Services, PP&S Services
and/or any other Services to the extent affected by such Force Majeure Event for
any or all of the total volume of Products hereunder during the pendency of the
Force Majeure Event). Further, should Cinram suspend its obligations under this
Agreement, and in addition to any other rights of WEA hereunder, WEA shall, on
and from the date which is twelve (12) months after the occurrence of (which may
be earlier than Cinram’s assertion of suspension under) a Force Majeure Event,
have the right to terminate the Term in whole or in part by notice in writing to
Cinram unless prior to the date of such termination Cinram has by notice in
writing to WEA ended the suspension of Cinram’s obligations under this
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, should WEA exercise its right of
termination under this Section 9(a), no cure period shall be associated with
Cinram’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder. No liability or
obligation of Cinram under any provision hereof, other than those directly
affected by a Force Majeure Event, shall be in any way limited or forgiven as a
result of any Force Majeure Event. For the avoidance of doubt, no Termination
Event shall, in itself, be deemed to constitute a Force Majeure Event.

(b) In addition, within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of any
circumstance or event which may reasonably be anticipated to cause or constitute
a Force Majeure Event, Cinram shall notify WEA of such circumstance or event.
For the avoidance of doubt, such notice shall not constitute an assertion by
Cinram of its right to suspend its obligations hereunder.

(c) If for any reason, Cinram is unable to provide any Services hereunder in
connection with any Order(s) for a period exceeding twenty-four (24) hours and
such inability is reasonably likely to result in Cinram being unable to meet the
Service Level Requirements set forth herein, WEA shall have the right to
immediately contract with a third party to provide all or any portion of such
services for such period of time as may be reasonably necessary for WEA to
obtain the services required to fulfill any such Order(s). Once WEA is
reasonably satisfied that Cinram is again able to provide the required Services,
WEA shall return the contracted Services to Cinram as soon as it is reasonably
able to do so; provided,

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

however, that the return of such Services to Cinram shall be subject to any
reasonable commitment WEA has made to the applicable third party that such
Services would remain with such third party for a period of time. Cinram shall
reimburse WEA upon demand for any and all incremental out-of-pocket charges that
WEA reasonably incurs as a result of transferring its Services under this
Section 9(c).

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may: (i) extend the time for the
performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto;
(ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other
party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant
hereto; or (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of
the other party hereto contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be
valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be
bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or
condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition, of this Agreement. The
failure of either hereto party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not
constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

(b) Assignment. Cinram shall not have the right without WEA’s prior written
consent (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of WEA)
to assign this Agreement or any of the rights granted to Cinram hereunder, in
whole or in part; provided, however, that Cinram shall be permitted to assign
this Agreement to any wholly owned subsidiary of Cinram International Inc.
(provided, further, that Cinram has given WEA prior written notice of such
assignment, and that notwithstanding such assignment, Cinram at all times shall
remain directly and fully responsible and liable to WEA for the performance of
all Services and for all of its representations, warranties and obligations,
including without limitation indemnification obligations, hereunder). WEA shall
have the right without Cinram’s consent to assign this Agreement, in whole or in
part, to any subsidiary, parent company or Affiliate of WEA, or to any
third-party acquiring all or substantially all of WEA’s assets or equity;
provided, however, that, in each case, notwithstanding such assignment, WEA at
all times shall remain directly and fully liable to Cinram for the performance
of the obligations of WEA hereunder.

(c) No Solicitation. During the Term and for a period of ** thereafter, neither
Cinram nor any of Cinram’s Affiliates may offer employment to any Employee or
offer manufacturing, packaging, distribution, pick, pack and ship or similar
services to any Distributed Label without the prior written approval of WEA. For
purposes of this Section 10(c), “Employee” shall mean any United States employee
at the director or department head level or above of WEA (or its Affiliates);
and “Distributed Label” shall mean any company whose products are then, or have
within the past six (6) months been, distributed by WEA (or its Affiliates)

(d) Further Assurances. Cinram and WEA each agree to execute and deliver all
such other and additional instruments and documents and to do such other acts
and things as may be necessary to more fully effectuate this Agreement.

(e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the parties hereto and
their respective permitted assigns.

(f) Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to
have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by courier
service, by telecopy or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return
receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at

Exhibit A

M&P Terms

References to “Company” when used in this Exhibit shall be deemed to refer to
Cinram (as defined in this Agreement). Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit
but not defined where they appear in the text are defined in Paragraph 14 below.

1. Appointment.

(a)

 

  (i) WEA hereby appoints Company to render, and Company shall render, M&P
Services for one hundred percent (100%) of Products (subject to the Permitted
Exclusion and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement), in accordance
with the terms hereof.

 

  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraph 1(a)(i),
from and after the effective date of a Recorded Music Major Transaction (the
“RMMT Effective Date”), the appointment of Company hereunder shall instead be to
render, and Company shall render, M&P Services for at least the Specified
Percentage (and, at WEA’s election, more than the Specified Percentage) of
Products in accordance with the terms hereof (subject to the Permitted Exclusion
and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement). WEA shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide that the Combined Entity’s ordering
of units of Products and Components under this Exhibit (i.e., mix of New
Releases and Catalog Titles and special packaging orders) following the RMMT
Effective Date remains generally consistent with WEA’s ordering of units of
Products and Components under this Exhibit prior to the RMMT Effective Date. The
“Specified Percentage” equals the fraction, expressed as a percentage: (A) the
numerator of which shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the number of units of
Products manufactured and packaged by Company for WEA under this Exhibit and
(prior to the Effective Date) under the US Manufacturing Agreement (and/or by
WEA on its own behalf, if applicable) during the twelve (12) complete calendar
months immediately preceding the RMMT Effective Date (the “WEA Output”); and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the WEA Output plus one hundred
percent (100%) of the number of units of Records, in any Optical Disc format,
manufactured and packaged for sale in the Territory by or for the recorded music
business of the applicable Major during the same twelve (12)-month period.

(b) Reservation of Rights. WEA hereby reserves all rights in and to Products not
otherwise expressly granted to Company herein.

(c) Reports. Company shall prepare for WEA all of the same production, shipments
and inventory reports in the same format and detail that WEA’s systems provided
as of the Effective Date (it being understood that Company shall not be required
to prepare for WEA any reports that would require Company to incur additional
out-of-pocket expenses in order to provide them, unless WEA agrees to pay

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

any such actual out-of-pocket expenses) and shall supply WEA with such reports
on at least a monthly basis during the Term. If Company provides more detailed
reports to any other party during the Term, Company shall, at WEA’s request,
provide such more detailed reports to WEA hereunder as of the date that Company
commences providing such more detailed reports to such other party but subject
to the same terms and conditions under which such reports are provided to such
other party (e.g., any additional fees or amounts charged to such party for such
more detailed reports). Nothing in such reports shall impart any
competitively-sensitive information about Company, Company’s Affiliates or any
third parties for which Company renders any services or any personal data
possessed by Company.

2. Title. As set forth in this Exhibit, Company shall sell to WEA, and WEA shall
purchase from Company, Components and Products from time to time pursuant to the
terms hereof. Title to units of Components and Products manufactured or packaged
by Company pursuant to this Exhibit shall pass to WEA upon the first to occur of
the completion of the manufacture or packaging thereof or the time that such
goods are identified to the contract as contemplated in UCC Section 2-501.
Further, Company acknowledges and agrees that title to units of Products and
Components that are received by Company under this Exhibit for distribution
shall remain in WEA (or WEA’s Affiliates, as applicable) at all times. Company
acknowledges that Products (including all intellectual property contained
therein and relating thereto) are protected under copyright laws and that WEA is
the rightful owner or license holder of all such copyrights. Company
acknowledges that any removal of any such materials from Company’s approved
facilities without WEA’s written approval, and any distribution of any such
materials in the Territory without WEA’s written approval, is an infringement of
WEA’s copyright. Company shall bear the risk of loss for units of Products in
Company’s possession, under Company’s control or in transit from Company or its
designees to any Facility; provided, however, that WEA shall bear the risk of
loss for any units of Products in transit for which WEA is responsible for
paying the shipping. Notwithstanding, and in addition to, the foregoing, solely
to protect WEA in the circumstance that it is ever determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that units of Components and/or Products are owned by
Company contrary to the express terms of this Exhibit and intention of the
parties, Company hereby grants and shall be deemed to have granted to WEA on the
Effective Date a security interest in all such present and future Components and
Products, and all products and proceeds (including, without limitation,
insurance proceeds but excluding amounts payable to Cinram for M&P Services
provided hereunder) of the foregoing, and any additions, improvements and
accessions to, and all books and records describing or used in connection with
any of the foregoing, to secure all debts, liabilities and obligations of
Company to WEA, whether now existing or arising hereafter (including without
limitation as a result of Company’s breach of this Agreement or any other
agreement with WEA, including as a result of the rejection of this Agreement or
any other agreement with WEA in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding) and whether
liquidated or contingent. The security interest shall attach on the earlier of
when such Components or Products are (a) acquired by the Company,
(b) manufactured by the Company, or (c) identified to the contract as
contemplated in UCC Section 2-501. Company agrees to take such steps as WEA may
reasonably request in connection with the perfection of such security interest
or otherwise to protect the rights of WEA with respect thereto, at WEA’s
expense. WEA shall have all rights, powers and privileges of a secured party
under the UCC.

3. Services.

(a) Level of Services. Company shall not allocate its facilities, plant capacity
or personnel to fulfillment of orders of any other party in a manner which is
more favorable than its allocation of such facilities, plant capacity and
personnel to the fulfillment of Orders hereunder. In addition, the Services:

 

  (i) shall be rendered on a so-called “label blind” basis;

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

  (ii) shall be rendered in at least the same general manner, subject to at
least the same general standards and in at least the same general quality as
provided by Company to all other parties whose Records are manufactured and/or
packaged by Company in the Territory, but if any such services are not part of
the standard Services otherwise provided to WEA hereunder and the provision of
such services is at a higher cost to Company, then if WEA requests such
services, such services shall be provided to WEA hereunder, but subject to the
same terms and conditions provided to such other party. This Paragraph 3(a)(ii)
shall not require that Company provide WEA with the automated services provided
in Company’s Huntsville Facility or otherwise require Company to provide any new
services to WEA if the cost of providing such services would be similarly
unreasonably burdensome to Company; provided, however, that nothing in this
sentence shall limit Company’s obligations set forth in Paragraph 6 of this
Exhibit;

 

  (iii) shall be rendered in at least the same manner, subject to at least the
same standards and in at least the same quality as was provided to WEA’s
Affiliates for the products of WEA’s Affiliates immediately prior to the
Original Effective Date;

 

  (iv) shall be rendered in accordance with “first-class” standards that meet
the highest quality available in the industry;

 

  (v) shall be rendered in accordance with, or exceed, each of the service level
requirements set forth on Schedule A hereto (the requirements set forth on
Schedule A hereto being the “Service Level Requirements”); and

 

  (vi) shall, to the extent rendered for the production of Products in CD or DVD
format, be rendered in accordance with the technical specifications set forth on
Schedule B hereto (the requirements set forth on Schedule B hereto being the
“Technical Specifications”).

(b) Copy Protection and Digital Rights Management. WEA may from time to time
require the integration of copy protection and digital rights management
technology into certain Products. Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that it is equipped to provide such technology and shall
obtain necessary licenses from the supplier therefor. WEA shall, unless
otherwise agreed, be responsible for the copy protection or digital rights
management technology license fees and the cost of any packaging adaptation
necessary to provide notification of the use of such technology as may be
required by the applicable law in the country of sale, and (except as otherwise
expressly set forth in this Paragraph 3(b)) all other costs relating to copy
protection and digital rights management shall be borne by Company. Company
shall report units manufactured and technologies used to WEA on a monthly basis
to facilitate the administration of the copy protection and digital rights
management license fees. Company shall assist WEA in assessing and testing new
copy protection and digital rights management technologies, and on
forty-five (45) days’ notice will make provision for new copy protection and
digital rights management technologies to be implemented, but only so long as
such new technologies are available to Company for use. To the extent that the
actual, documented, out-of-pocket, non-overhead cost to Company for the
assessment, testing and implementation of such new copy protection and digital
rights management technologies exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)
in the aggregate in respect of any Contract Year, then WEA shall reimburse
Company for any such excess (but solely to the extent that WEA requested that
Company assess, test or implement such new technology). To the extent that any
other parties serviced by Company actually utilize any such new copy protection
and digital rights management technology, WEA’s obligation to reimburse Company
for any

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

such excess shall be reduced pro rata based on the total number of Company’s
customers utilizing the new copy protection and digital tights management
technology. If WEA has already reimbursed Company pursuant to the preceding
sentence and subsequently is entitled to a pro rata reduction as provided
herein, Company shall refund such amount within thirty (30) days of the date
such other party begins utilizing such new copy protection and digital rights
management technology.

(c) Fees. M&P Services shall be furnished at the prices set forth on Schedule C
hereto and as set forth in this Paragraph 3(c), as they may be modified from
time to time by operation of Paragraphs 12 and 15 of this Exhibit (the “Fees”).
All amounts set forth in this Agreement including the Schedules hereto are
denominated in US dollars, except where such amounts are expressly designated in
Canadian dollars in particular Schedules to this Agreement. Throughout the Term,
with respect to M&P Services for which there is no price on Schedule C hereto,
Company shall provide such Services to WEA, on a non-exclusive basis only, at
competitive market rates otherwise available to WEA. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, Company shall not be required to provide any such services
unless WEA (either itself or through any of its Affiliates) provided such
services on its own behalf prior to the Original Effective Date or if Company
then-currently provides such services to any party.

(d) Subcontracting. Each entity set forth in Schedule D (Approved
Subcontractors) hereto shall be deemed to be an Approved Subcontractor under
this Exhibit, solely with respect to performance of the specific M&P Services
identified in Schedule D (Approved Subcontractors) for such entity. Orders
hereunder shall not be subcontracted to a greater degree than any other orders.
Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, WEA may from time to
time designate organizations as prohibited subcontractors under this Agreement
if WEA reasonably believes such organizations would not be likely to be able to
adhere to the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) Compliance with Law; Code of Conduct. Company shall comply (i) with all laws
and regulations in connection with Company’s undertakings under this Agreement,
except where the failure to do so individually or in the aggregate is
immaterial; and (ii) subject to relevant local laws including privacy laws, with
the code of conduct attached as Schedule E hereto.

(f) Delivery of Source Materials. WEA shall, at WEA’s sole expense, deliver to
Company (or to such suppliers as Company may designate) all Source Materials.
WEA shall retain title to all Source Materials supplied to Company or its
designees, including all digital files derived from such Source Materials.
Company shall have no rights in such Source Materials, and will return all such
Source Materials to WEA promptly upon request; provided, however, that transfer
of DDP (disc description protocol) files previously provided to WEA shall be
subject to payment of a mutually agreed upon price. Company shall maintain
systems at no charge to WEA so as to be able to receive Source Materials in
digital form and online, which shall include metadata and digital proofs.

(g) Ordering.

 

  (i) It shall be WEA’s responsibility to determine its production requirements
and to order units of Components and Products. All Orders for units of
Components and Products shall be evidenced by a written purchase order. Orders
must include all information necessary to properly identify the Components and
Products to be manufactured and packaged, including artist, title, catalog
number and quantity. Company shall use the entire UPC or EAN codes to identify
all Components and Products.

 

  (ii)

Prior to manufacture, an Order must be Workable. Company shall deliver finished
goods units of Components and Products to WEA’s designated locations

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

 

within the applicable time periods set forth on Schedule A hereto. All of the
time periods set forth on Schedule A hereto are referred to as the applicable
Turnaround Times for the manufacture of Components and for units of Products in
each configuration, respectively, and are measured from the time the Order is
Workable.

 

  (iii) At the times that WEA submits Orders, to the extent that an Order is for
multiple selections, WEA shall have the right to determine the priority in which
the Orders should be filled (that is, it shall have the right to determine and
designate which part of the Order is to be delivered within the shorter of the
applicable Turnaround Times and which part of the Order is to be delivered
within the longer of the applicable Turnaround Times).

 

  (iv) For each item (i.e., a particular Product) in an Order, there shall be an
allowable fulfillment deviation as set forth below:

 

Order Size in Units

   Deviation for
Catalog titles     Deviation for
New Releases  

0-10,000

     * *      * * 

10,001-50,000

     * *      * * 

50,001-300,000

     * *      * * 

300,001 and up

     * *      * * 

 

       Orders filled within such deviation shall be deemed to be satisfied, and
WEA shall pay Company on the actual number of units delivered at the rate(s)
charged by Company pursuant to the original Order to which such deviation
relates.

(h) Quarterly Meetings. At least once every calendar quarter, WEA may meet with
Company’s Chief Executive Officer (or equivalent) and Chief Financial Officer
(or equivalent) to assess Company’s performance under this Exhibit and its
ongoing ability to perform its obligations under this Exhibit.

(i) Shipping Costs. Company shall bear the cost and expense of shipping of any
and all units of Products, Components or other materials manufactured hereunder
from the point of manufacture to: (i) any distribution or warehouse Facility;
and (ii) from any distribution or warehouse Facility to any other distribution
or warehouse Facility, so long as such movement described in (ii) above is at
the direction of Company in its own discretion. Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, WEA shall be responsible for the cost and expense of all other
shipments under this Exhibit. To the extent that any shipping costs under this
Exhibit are to be borne by WEA but are actually paid by Company, WEA shall only
be required to pay Company’s actual, documented, out-of-pocket costs charged by
such shipping agent for the shipment of units of Products and/or other materials
under this Exhibit, and such costs shall be reimbursed to Company by WEA within
ten (10) business days following Company’s rendition of such invoice to WEA (but
in no event shall WEA be required to make any such payment of such invoice prior
to Company’s payment of such invoice to such shipping agent). If WEA is
responsible for shipping expenses, should WEA so elect, WEA shall have the right
to: (A) select the shipping agent(s) utilized by Company for shipping of units
of Products and/or other materials under this Exhibit (and, in doing so, assume
the risk of loss for such units of Products in transit); or (B) in lieu of
selecting such shipping agent(s), require that Company submit to WEA any
proposed shipping agent(s) which Company wishes to utilize this Exhibit for
WEA’s prior written approval. If, in a particular instance, WEA is not
responsible for shipping expenses or WEA does not exercise its rights pursuant
to the preceding sentence,

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

Company shall utilize the same shipping agent(s) utilized by Company for the
shipping of a majority of the other products shipped by or on behalf of Company.

(j) No Unauthorized Manufacture. Company acknowledges that WEA may suffer
substantial damages as a result of the unauthorized manufacture of Components or
Products. Therefore, Company agrees that: (i) Company shall produce only those
quantities of units of Components and Products as are specified in a written
Order issued by WEA and subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement;
(ii) Company shall deliver the units of Components and Products specified in
each Order only to the recipient and location designated by WEA in such order;
and (iii) upon WEA’s request from time to time, Company shall deliver to WEA
separate written confirmation of each manufacturing run made of each Product and
Component pursuant to each Order, including the date of the manufacturing run
and the number of units produced during the run.

(k) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(l) **

(m) Business Continuity; Facilities.

 

  (i) **

 

  (ii) Upon WEA’s request, senior Company employees shall meet with a team
designated by WEA to discuss ongoing business continuity issues and, if deemed
applicable by WEA, an efficient transition to one or more new manufacturers
and/or distributors. At WEA’s option, WEA and/or its designated agent(s) shall
be permitted at any time during normal business hours to enter any facilities in
which any property of WEA (including without limitation Inventory, BOMs, DDPs,
Products, or Components) resides, in order to retrieve or otherwise access any
such WEA property.

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

  (iii) Company shall provide at least ** prior written notice to WEA of any
actual or anticipated closure or discontinuation of use (whether permanent or
temporary and whether partial or complete) of any of Company’s facilities used
in providing M&P Services (including without limitation Company’s facilities in
Aurora, IL or Olyphant, PA). In the event of any actual or anticipated closure
or discontinuation of the use of (whether permanently or temporarily and whether
partially or completely) any such facilities, then Company shall: (A) pay and be
responsible for, and shall reimburse WEA for, all reasonable expenses incurred
by WEA arising from any change to one or more new facility(ies); (B) reimburse
WEA for increased shipping and related costs and expenses incurred by WEA as a
result of such change (and shall provide WEA with any other similar types of
reimbursements and other accommodations as were provided to WEA after the
closing of Company’s Simi Valley facility); and (C) ensure that there is no
adverse impact on the services (including without limitation the quality,
reliability, timeliness, or cost to WEA thereof) and/or Company’s satisfaction
of any Service Level Requirements.

 

  (iv) Company shall provide advance written notice to WEA of all decisions
regarding the sale, transfer, disposition, or any other change with respect to
Company’s material property, facilities and/or assets used in providing M&P
Services.

(n) Transfer of WEA Assets. Upon WEA’s request, at any time during the Term,
Company shall transfer all property of WEA (including without limitation
physical finished goods, Inventory, BOMs, DDPs (to the extent not previously
provided), Products and Components) to up to two (2) locations designated by
WEA, in a secure fashion in accordance with industry custom. If WEA requests any
additional preparation, packaging or stickering (other than shipping such items
in a secure fashion in accordance with industry custom and the performance of
the other services required hereunder), pricing for such services shall be
subject to the mutual agreement of WEA and Company. Company shall provide no
fewer than **, in order to implement such transfer requests by WEA and shall
begin such transfers no later than ** after the applicable transfer request from
WEA. At WEA’s option, WEA and/or its designated agent(s) shall be permitted at
any time during normal business hours to enter any facilities in which any
property of WEA is stored (including without limitation physical finished goods,
Inventory, BOMs, DDPs, Products and Components), in order to retrieve or
otherwise access any such Products and other WEA property.

4. Company’s Financial Obligations. WEA shall not be responsible for payment of
any of Company’s (or Company’s Affiliates’) indirect or general overhead charges
or the salaries of Company’s (or Company’s Affiliates’) employees or agents. All
costs associated with the rendering of Services shall be borne by Company. Such
costs to be borne by Company include any patent royalties or other similar
royalties or license fees payable in connection with the manufacture of Products
and Components , which costs, for the avoidance of doubt, exclude mechanical
royalties, record royalties and copy protection and digital rights management
(i.e., DRM) technology license fees.

5. Other Obligations.

(a) Storage of Source Materials, Components and Finished Units of Products.
Company shall accept and store all Source Materials and Inventory delivered to
or otherwise held by Company under this Exhibit at no charge; provided, however,
that with respect to any particular Product, Company shall not be required to
store more Source Materials or Inventory than is necessary to satisfy the next
** demand (such determination as to what constitutes ** demand shall be made
jointly by WEA and Company based, where possible, upon actual, gross units
ordered during the ** period and shall be made

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

for all Source Materials and Inventory no more frequently than semi-annually
during the Term. With respect to Source Materials and Inventory so determined to
be in excess of a ** demand therefor, Company shall notify WEA of the specific
Source Materials and/or Inventory constituting such excess and within ** days
following WEA’s receipt of such notice, WEA shall (in WEA’s sole discretion)
either: (i) remove such excess Source Materials and/or Inventory (at WEA’s
expense); (ii) direct Company to destroy such excess Source Materials and/or
Inventory (at WEA’s expense) (and if WEA directs such destruction, Company shall
destroy such materials in accordance with WEA’s instruction and shall promptly
provide WEA with an officer’s certificate that confirms such destruction); or
(iii) direct Company to store such excess either (x) at a Facility at a cost to
WEA of ** or (y) offsite at Company’s or Company’s Affiliates’ leased facility
approved in advance, in writing by WEA and the actual, documented, out-of-pocket
expense charged by such facility to Company for such storage shall be reimbursed
to Company by WEA. Amounts owing under this Paragraph 5(a) shall be invoiced by
Company at month end and shall be payable ** from the date of the rendition of
such invoice. All Source Materials and all Inventory shall be WEA’s property and
shall be kept segregated from any other property. Upon receipt of a written
request from WEA, Company shall return to WEA, at WEA’s cost, any materials
supplied by WEA which have not been utilized in the manufacture or packaging of
units of Components or Products or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement and
which are then in Company’s possession or control. The risk of loss, due to any
reason, of Source Materials or Inventory in Company’s possession or control
shall be borne by Company, as further described herein; provided, however, that
to the extent any such loss was directly caused by a WEA Employee, Company shall
not bear the risk of loss, except to the extent such loss is or would have been
covered by Company’s property insurance as required under this Agreement and as
set forth on Schedule F hereto. WEA shall own all manufacturing parts (for
Components and Products) and all derivatives and/or duplicates thereof
fabricated in connection with the production process, including all Components,
photographic films and color keys, if any, duplicate audio tapes (analog or
digital), glass Masters and running Masters and all digital files derived from
any of the foregoing. Company shall not destroy any of the Source Materials,
Inventory or elements derived therefrom without prior written authorization from
WEA; provided, however, that Company may destroy certain such derived elements
(i.e., glass Masters and metal parts) to the extent that such elements are
generally destroyed by Company in the ordinary course of production. Company
shall also, at Company’s cost, maintain, protect and backup any and all Source
Materials and derivatives in an organized environment to allow for easy access
by both Company and WEA.

(b) Insurance. During the Term, Company shall: (i) comply with all provisions
set forth on Schedule F hereto; and (ii) at Company’s sole cost and expense,
maintain adequate insurance coverage for: (A) all Source Materials and Inventory
while such items are in Company’s possession, under Company’s control or in
transit to or from Company or its designees to any Facility; and (B) the other
matters set forth on Schedule F hereto. The insurance required under this
Paragraph 5(b) is not intended to limit Company’s liability as otherwise
provided in this Agreement.

(c) Computer Access. In order that WEA be able to monitor daily shipments,
receipt, production and inventory activity in connection with Components and
Products, Company shall give WEA access to Company’s computer system for the
purpose of providing WEA with real-time information stored therein relating to
Components and Products at Company’s expense (but no access shall be allowed to
information relating to any other party’s products or any personal data
possessed by Company). Such system shall provide WEA with all of the same types
of reports and information currently provided by, and as may be available from,
Company’s computer systems in connection with other products and components
manufactured and/or packaged by Company. In connection therewith, Company shall
work with WEA to ensure that WEA is provided with at least the same level of
reports and information that WEA’s own systems provided as of the Original
Effective Date. Nothing in such reports or information provided shall impart any
competitively-sensitive information about Company, Company’s Affiliates or any
third parties for which Company renders any services or any personal data

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

possessed by Company. Such access shall be available to WEA **, at all times
during the Term. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company may
perform system maintenance and upgrades during which such systems may not be
available; provided, however, that such downtime does not exceed **. Throughout
the Term, Company shall, at Company’s cost, reasonably maintain and enhance its
IT services so as to be of a comparable standard to those offered by
“first-class” manufacturers and packagers in the Territory.

(d) Inspection. Subject to the provisions set forth below, during the Term and
for a period of one (1) year following the expiration or termination of the
Term, WEA shall have the right to inspect each WEA Facility and any other
facility utilized by Company in connection with Components or Products or the
provision of Services hereunder, during regular business hours (utilizing either
WEA’s own employees, third-party advisers or representatives, insurers, or other
experts retained by WEA). WEA may conduct such inspections of each WEA Facility
or other facility up to **; provided, however, that to the extent WEA or any of
its Affiliates are required by law or contract to inspect, to provide
inspections or to provide information that cannot reasonably be obtained without
an inspection for any party that would require inspections to be performed more
than **, WEA shall, upon reasonable prior written notice to Company, be
permitted to perform any such inspection(s). In addition to the inspections
permitted in the preceding sentence, at any time upon receipt of any Security
Breach Notice (as defined in Paragraph 5(e)), WEA shall have the unlimited right
upon reasonable notice to inspect any facility which was the location of the
event(s) giving rise to the need for such Security Breach Notice. During any
such inspection, WEA may conduct physical inventories of units of Components and
Products in Company’s possession or control. WEA shall not have access to any
competitively-sensitive information relating to any other party’s products, or
any personal data possessed by Company, during the inspections permitted under
this Paragraph 5(d).

(e) Security. Company shall maintain security standards that are at least
equivalent to those provided by other “first-class” manufacturers and packagers
in the Territory, both in the segregated area of the WEA Facilities for property
of WEA and throughout the WEA Facilities, and shall at all times employ the
utmost care and diligence to prevent loss, damage, theft, disappearance,
unauthorized destruction or usage of such property of WEA. Company’s security
procedures shall be subject to WEA’s prior written approval. Company shall
maintain such procedures as approved by WEA and as may reasonably be given to
Company from time to time throughout the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Company’s security measures (which shall include closed-circuit television
monitoring, pass-protected access, employee checking and spot searching, etc.)
shall be sufficient to ensure that all Source Materials and Inventory and the
intellectual property embodied in such Source Materials and Inventory are in no
way compromised, stolen, “leaked” to the public (e.g., copying of recordings
embodied on Products which may lead to the availability of such recordings to
the public via the Internet or similar means) or otherwise made available to any
unauthorized parties. Upon discovery of: (i) loss, damage, theft, disappearance,
or destruction of Source Materials or Inventory exceeding ** dollars (**); or
(ii) any unauthorized usage of Source Materials or Inventory, Company shall
notify WEA as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within
seventy-two (72) hours following such discovery, and shall include in such
notification sufficient detail to allow WEA to investigate such incident (each,
a “Security Breach Notice”). Regardless of Company’s compliance with all
security measures set forth herein or with procedures approved by WEA, Company
shall be liable as provided herein for the loss, damage, theft, disappearance,
destruction or unauthorized usage of any property of WEA.

(f) Salvage. At all times and regardless of whether Company or its insurers are
required to compensate WEA for loss as required under this Agreement, WEA shall
retain the sole right to salvage for damaged Inventory. Company shall not
surrender damaged Inventory to insurers or any other party for destruction or
disposal without obtaining WEA’s prior written consent.

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

(g) WEA Employees. Company shall throughout the Term, at the request of WEA,
provide up to a maximum of ** employees of WEA or its Affiliates (the “WEA
Employees”) with, at Company’s expense: (i) reasonable office accommodations at
such WEA Facilities utilized for manufacturing and/or packaging as may be
specified from time to time by WEA; (ii) individual computers; (iii) copy
services and any other similar office services in order to permit them to carry
out their functions; and (iv) all other reasonable support functions as provided
to them as of the Original Effective Date. Company shall also provide telephone,
Internet and fax access for each WEA Employee, and WEA shall reimburse Company
for Company’s actual, documented, out-of-pocket costs therefor. Amounts owing
under this Paragraph 5(g) shall be invoiced by Company at month end and shall be
payable ** days from the date of the rendition of such invoice. WEA shall be
responsible for the direction of, and all compensation and related obligations
for, the WEA Employees. The WEA Employees shall operate in accordance with WEA’s
code of conduct and Company’s standard code of conduct contained in its employee
policy manual at the applicable WEA Facility (which code of conduct shall be
subject to WEA’s reasonable approval) and all other lawful policies adopted by
Company from time to time governing the conduct of all of its employees and
contractors. In the performance of their tasks, the WEA Employees shall not have
access to any competitively-sensitive information relating to any other party’s
products or any personal data possessed by Company.

6. Technology. Throughout the Term, Company shall reasonably update its
manufacturing and packaging lines at the WEA Facilities at Company’s cost to
keep up with new technology requirements and to maintain at least the same level
of technology utilized by other “first-class” manufacturers and packagers of
Records in the Territory, including machinery and equipment that is reasonably
available to provide automated assembly of packaging, inclusion of inserts and
application of stickers, shrinkwrap and security materials. Company shall
maintain and update its information and technology capabilities at the WEA
Facilities, at Company’s cost, to meet reasonable WEA requirements and maintain
competitive services for WEA and its customers. Company also agrees to
reasonably support WEA in the development of technology initiatives.

7. Invoices and Payments.

(a) Rendition of Invoices. During the Term, Company shall prepare and render
invoices to WEA with respect to each shipment of units of Components and
Products Ordered under this Exhibit. Except with respect to shipping charges to
be borne by WEA as provided in Paragraph 3(i) of this Exhibit, the amount due to
Company pursuant to each such invoice shall be due and payable by WEA to Company
in US dollars (except where such amounts are expressly designated in Canadian
dollars in particular Schedules to this Agreement, which amounts shall be
payable in Canadian dollars) on or before ** following Company’s rendition of
such invoice. Such invoices shall contain “per SKU” line item detail with
special handling or other miscellaneous charges indicated separately in the form
and manner consistent with Company’s general form of invoice. The aforementioned
invoices shall be denominated in US dollars (except where such amounts are
expressly designated in Canadian dollars in particular Schedules to this
Agreement, which amounts shall be payable in Canadian dollars). Company shall
submit all such invoices to WEA electronically pursuant to reasonable
instructions given by WEA to Company from time to time (and in paper form, to
the extent WEA so requests) and to the extent that Company’s and WEA’s computer
systems do not already provide for the electronic submission of all such
invoices, Company shall use Company’s reasonable efforts to work with WEA
starting upon the commencement of the Term to create a system whereby all such
invoices can be submitted electronically to WEA. For the avoidance of doubt, WEA
shall only be liable for payments hereunder if WEA (or WEA’s designee) has
received the shipment of the relevant finished units of Components and Products
reflected in such invoice.

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

(b) Audits. WEA shall have the right, at WEA’s sole expense, to examine (and/or
to appoint representatives to examine) Company’s (and Company’s Affiliates’)
books and records in order to: (i) verify the correctness of any invoice
prepared and rendered by Company in accordance with Paragraph 7(a);
(ii) establish the applicability of the provisions contained in Paragraph 5 of
the main body of the Agreement, Paragraphs 12 and/or 15 of this Exhibit, and/or
the occurrence of any Termination Event; or (iii) otherwise establish compliance
by Company with its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that
only independent, third-party auditors (i.e., auditors other than WEA’s
then-current outside auditor) shall be utilized for the review of Company’s
books and records. Independent third-party auditors shall have access to all
information necessary to perform their duties, however nothing in any report
provided to WEA or its Affiliates by any such independent third-party auditors
shall impart to WEA or its Affiliates any competitively-sensitive information
about Company, Company’s Affiliates or any third parties for which Company
renders any services. If any such audit reveals that WEA and/or WEA’s Affiliates
have been overcharged, Company shall reimburse WEA in the amount of the
overcharge. If any such audit reveals that WEA has been overcharged by an amount
exceeding ** for the audit period, Company shall reimburse WEA in the amount of
the overcharge plus all fees paid by WEA to the auditors concerned in connection
with such audit and any other actual, documented, out-of-pocket expense incurred
by WEA in connection with such audit. Company shall pay interest to WEA on the
amount of the overcharge at **. Regardless of the number of audits conducted
hereunder revealing the same specific overcharge to WEA, Company shall not be
required to repay to WEA the amount of any such overcharge more than once. WEA’s
audit right shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term for two (2)
years; provided, however, that to the extent WEA or any of WEA’s Affiliates are
required by law or contract to audit, to provide audits or to provide
information which cannot be reasonably obtained without an audit for any third
party subsequent to two (2) years after the expiration or termination of the
Term, then WEA’s audit rights shall be so extended beyond such date as may be
reasonably necessary for WEA to comply with such obligations. Company shall
retain all books and records related to the performance of Services hereunder
after the expiration or termination of the Term for so long as WEA may need to
perform audits hereunder, but in no event for more than three (3) years after
the rendition of the invoice with respect to the Services to which such invoice
relates; provided, however, that before Company destroys any books or records,
Company shall deliver written notice of such intent to destroy to WEA not more
than sixty (60) days, and not less than thirty (30) days, before the intended
date of destruction. WEA shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such
notice to request copies of the books and records to be destroyed, in which case
Company shall make copies of such books and records and deliver the same to WEA
(but excluding information related to other customers of Company) at WEA’s
expense (but at Company’s expense if such copies are of electronic files). As
used herein, “books and records” shall include, without limitation, physical
data and data stored in any electronic, magnetic or optical format.

Schedule F

Insurance Coverage

NOTE: The following insurance requirements are intended to provide insurance
coverage under this Agreement and each of the other service agreements being
entered into between the parties hereto and their Affiliates as of the date
hereof. Accordingly, to the extent any such other agreements (or other Exhibits
to this Agreement) require insurance coverage thereunder that is duplicative of
the insurance coverage provided for below, such insurance coverage need not be
duplicated under such other agreements.

Property Insurance. Including Extra Expense and Business Interruption: Company
at all times and at its own cost and expense shall insure WEA’s property as
defined and required in this Agreement under so-called “all risk” policies of
insurance, including but not limited to coverage for extended perils,
earthquake, windstorm, flood, and collapse; open cargo, war risk cargo and
terrorism. Company shall purchase an insurance policy that indemnifies WEA for
non-physical damage to source material, if available on a commercially
reasonable basis and is warranted by the risk profile of the Company. WEA’s
property shall consist of and not be limited to source material, finished goods
and inventory, returned stock, master recordings, digital files, DVDs, CDs and
all printing and packaging material.

Either dedicated policies or portfolio (blanket) coverage forms may provide the
“all risk” property insurance, providing that the per occurrence limit of
insurance available with respect to the WEA property at any Company location for
property damage, business interruption, and extra expense shall not be less than
** per occurrence; and Terrorism for WEA Manufacturing Alsdorf shall be no less
than ** per occurrence. Further, the limits of insurance applicable to the
extended perils and the perils of earthquake, flood and terrorism shall be an
annual aggregate. The deductible on said policies shall be the sole
responsibility of Company and be of no greater amount than is commercially
reasonable for a company of its financial standing. These policies shall be
primary to any policy maintained by or on behalf of WEA. WEA may, at any time,
review the amount of insurance required hereunder, and may, from time to time,
but in no event more than annually, require a lower or higher amount depending
on the best available estimate of the aggregate exposure to loss arising from
damage to WEA’s property under this Agreement.

The open cargo and war risk cargo insurance policies shall provide per shipment
limits of indemnity of no less than ** and contain a warehouse coverage
endorsement. In the event that the ** limit of insurance is not adequate to
fully insure any given shipment under this Agreement, Company shall purchase
additional insurance to cover the full replacement cost of the shipment. The
deductible on these policies shall be no greater than what is commercially
reasonable for an enterprise with Company’s financial standing. The deductible
shall be the responsibility of Company and this coverage shall be primary to any
coverage maintained by WEA.

All policies shall provide for a reimbursement value with respect to WEA’s
property at replacement cost for new property of like kind and quality, with no
deduction for depreciation, and shall include WEA, its partners, officers,
employees, and Affiliates as loss payees under the policies as their interest
may appear, and shall provide that no act or omission on the part of Company as
the title insured shall prejudice a direct claim by the additional insured. All
property policies shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of WEA.
Further, Company agrees to secure terms with its insurer that in the event that
Company fails to pay premium resulting in a cancellation of coverage that WEA
will be given the opportunity to maintain coverage for its insured property
under the policy; and Company will reimburse WEA ** of notice for the expense
incurred.

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

Public Liability Insurance: Company shall also be required to obtain and
maintain comprehensive general liability insurance and a follow-form “umbrella
liability” policy, providing insurance against claims for bodily injury,
including death, property damage, personal and advertising injury, blanket
contractual liability, broad form property damage liability, explosion, collapse
and underground hazard, and products and completed operations, for such claims
occurring or alleged to have occurred in the course of any operations or
activities contemplated by this Agreement, in such amounts as from time to time
are carried by prudent owners of comparable operations, but in no event less
than **, and covering as additional insureds all the WEA individuals and
entities for which and to the extent it is responsible under this Agreement.

Workers’ Compensation and Employers’ Liability Insurance:

The Workers’ Compensation policy shall include the following coverage:

 

1.    Coverage A    Statutory 2.    Coverage B    Employers’ Liability Bodily
Injury by Accident    ** each accident Bodily Injury by Disease    ** policy
limit Bodily Injury by Disease    ** each employee

Company shall maintain any other employment related insurance coverage required
by any jurisdiction having control over any employees or operations used in
connection with this Agreement.

Automobile Liability Insurance: Company shall purchase and maintain automobile
liability and follow-form “umbrella liability” insurance for all owned,
non-owned and hired vehicles with limits of not less than one ** combined single
limit for bodily injury and property damage. This insurance coverage must
include all automotive and truck equipment used in the performance of the work
under this Agreement, and must include the loading and unloading of same.

Environmental Liability Insurance: In the event Company encounters and must
perform or engage a contractor to perform work related to the remediation or
abatement of “hazardous material” which includes, without limitation, any
flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous materials, hazardous
waste, hazardous or toxic substances, or related materials defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980,
as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq.), the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Action of 1986 (Pub. L. No. 99-499, 100 stat. 1613 (1986)), the
Hazardous Material Transportation Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et
seq.) and in the regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant
thereto, or any other federal, state or local environmental law, ordinance,
rule, or regulation (or applicable law in any jurisdiction outside the US),
Company, or any contractor performing such work on behalf of Company, shall
provide “contractor’s pollution liability” insurance, as applicable to the work
to be performed, covering claims from third-party injury and property damage as
a result of pollution conditions emanating from on-site, under the site, or off
the site arising out of its operations and completed operations. Completed
operations coverage shall remain in effect for no less than **. Minimum
liability limits, including excess liability coverage, shall be **.

The automobile liability insurance must contain provisions for thirty (30) days
prior written notice of cancellation, nonrenewal, material change or reduction
of insurance sent by certified mail return receipt requested, and waiver of
subrogation in favor of WEA, additional insureds and all other such entities, as
may be reasonably requested by WEA.

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

Provisions Applicable to All Policies of Insurance Required Hereunder: Policies
of insurance shall be underwritten by an insurer with an AM Best rating of no
less than A- and a financial size class of VII or better (or an equivalent
rating from an alternate rating agency), and may be an admitted or non-admitted
carrier. Any insurer not meeting these criteria must be approved in writing by
WEA’s risk management department whose authorization shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Satisfactory evidence of insurance shall be provided before the
commencement of this Agreement and shall be evidenced at each renewal by a
binder and certificate of insurance at least ten (10) days before expiration of
coverage and upon request of WEA, on an annual basis or as necessitated by a
material change in coverage or legal action. Such certificates of insurance
shall include loss payee and additional insured provisions as previously noted
in this Exhibit. Company shall forward to WEA a copy of all required policy
forms upon request. With respect to property located outside the U.S, any loss
payable to WEA shall be adjusted and paid in the currency of the United States
of America, subject to the rate of exchange published in The Wall Street Journal
on the date of the loss. If Company elects to maintain insurance for property
located outside the US, where the policy is denominated in a currency other than
the US dollar, such policy limits and deductibles shall at all times be
sufficient to meet the US dollar denominated requirements set forth on this
Schedule F.

Each of WEA and Company agrees to negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve
any disagreement which in any way affects any insurance required to be carried
hereunder. In the event that such good faith negotiation does not result in the
resolution of any such disagreement within a fifteen (15) day period, the
parties shall retain an arbitrator to make a fair and reasonable determination
as to any such disagreement (the “Insurance Arbitrator”). The Insurance
Arbitrator shall be a retired executive or attorney with substantial experience
in the insurance industry, preferably in the field of manufacturing, shall be
independent of each of WEA and Company, and shall endeavor to provide a
determination of any dispute among the parties within thirty (30) days of being
retained, but in each case, as quickly as possible. The parties shall jointly
appoint the Insurance Arbitrator and the identity of the Insurance Arbitrator
shall be satisfactory to each of the parties. The parties shall share equally in
the cost and expense of retaining the Insurance Arbitrator. If the parties
cannot agree upon a person to act as the Insurance Arbitrator within thirty (30)
days of the expiry of the fifteen (15) day negotiation period specified in this
Paragraph, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration
Association. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in conformance with
the rules established by the American Arbitration Association. Any determination
made by the Insurance Arbitrator shall be final and binding on each of the
parties. For the avoidance of doubt, Company shall at all times including during
the pendency of any dispute and until such time as such dispute is resolved be
required to continue to procure insurance policies at its sole expense in full
force and effect as required in this Agreement and as specified herein.

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

Exhibit B

PP&S Terms

References to “Company” when used in this Exhibit shall be deemed to refer to
Cinram (as defined in the Agreement). Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit but
not defined where they appear in the text are defined in Paragraph 13 below.

1. Appointment.

(a)

 

  (i) WEA hereby appoints Company to render, and Company shall render, PP&S
Services for one hundred percent (100%) of Products (subject to the Permitted
Exclusion and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement), in accordance
with the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the PP&S Services shall not
include any direct-to-consumer services, including without limitation any
direct-to-consumer distribution, returns processing, inventory control,
warehousing, or shipping services.

 

  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraph 1(a)(i),
from and after the effective date of a Recorded Music Major Transaction (the
“RMMT Effective Date”), the appointment of Company hereunder shall instead be to
render, and Company shall render, PP&S Services for at least the Specified
Percentage (and, at WEA’s election, more than the Specified Percentage) of
Products in accordance with the terms hereof (subject to the Permitted Exclusion
and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement). WEA shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide that the Combined Entity’s use of
PP&S Services under this Exhibit (i.e., mix of New Releases and Catalog Titles)
following the RMMT Effective Date remains generally consistent with WEA’s use of
PP&S Services under this Exhibit prior to the RMMT Effective Date. The
“Specified Percentage” equals the fraction, expressed as a percentage: (A) the
numerator of which shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the number of units of
Products picked, packed and shipped in the Territory by Company for WEA under
this Exhibit and (prior to the Effective Date) under the US PP&S Agreement
(and/or by WEA on its own behalf, if applicable) during the twelve (12) complete
calendar months immediately preceding the RMMT Effective Date (the “WEA
Output”); and (B) the denominator of which shall be the WEA Output plus one
hundred percent (100%) of the number of units of Records in physical formats
picked, packed and shipped for sale in the Territory by or for the recorded
music business of the applicable Major during the same twelve (12)-month period.

 

  (iii) WEA shall be solely responsible for: (A) all sales solicitation of
Products; (B) processing of all orders of units of Products by customers;
(C) invoicing and collection of customer accounts; and (D) the processing and
issuance of credits to customers.

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

(b) Reservation of Rights. WEA hereby reserves all rights in and to Products not
otherwise expressly granted to Company herein.

(c) Reports. Company shall prepare for WEA all of the same shipments, returns
and inventory reports in the same format and detail that WEA’s systems provided
as of the Effective Date (it being understood that Company shall not be required
to prepare for WEA any reports that would require Company to incur additional
out-of-pocket expenses in order to provide them, unless WEA agrees to pay any
such actual out-of-pocket expenses) and shall supply WEA with such reports on at
least a monthly basis during the Term. If Company provides more detailed reports
to any other party during the Term, Company shall, at WEA’s request, provide
such more detailed reports to WEA hereunder as of the date that Company
commences providing such more detailed reports to such other party, but subject
to the same terms and conditions under which such reports are provided to such
other party (e.g., any additional fees or amounts charged to such party for such
more detailed reports). Monthly and quarterly shipments and return reports shall
include at least the following information: selection number, artist name,
selection title, product configuration, gross units shipped, units actually
returned, net units and Fees. Nothing in such reports shall impart any
competitively-sensitive information about Company, Company’s Affiliates or any
third parties for which Company renders any services or any personal data
possessed by Company.

(d) Facilities.

 

  (i) Company shall utilize “first-class” facilities either directly or, subject
to WEA’s prior approval, by subcontract, for the prompt, timely, and
satisfactory performance of the PP&S Services committed hereunder. All
distribution center locations used by Company in connection with Products shall
be subject to WEA’s prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld). WEA hereby acknowledges that those distribution facilities listed on
Schedule E currently constitute “first-class” facilities and shall be deemed
approved by WEA for Company’s use hereunder in connection with Products. For the
avoidance of doubt, WEA shall have no right to require Company to provide
Services under this Exhibit at any Facility other than the Facilities listed on
Schedule E and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company
shall have the right to close or relocate any such Facilities so long as Company
ensures no degradation to Service Level Requirements, shipping time, turnaround
times or increased costs to WEA as a result of such closure or change in
location.

 

  (ii)

On a limited basis only, upon WEA’s request, Cinram Distribution will make up to
** shipments per day of Products in quantities of no less than a so-called
“carton” to WEA customers directly from the manufacturing facility in Olyphant
when WEA reasonably deems it necessary to meet WEA’s timing requirements, and
Cinram Distribution agrees to make such requested shipments no later than **
after the completion of manufacturing of such units; provided that Cinram
Distribution will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship less than
so-called “cartons” upon WEA’s reasonable request. In the event that Cinram
Distribution ceases to ship so-called “banded” unboxed Product to WEA customers
from the facility in Olyphant and makes such shipments to WEA customers from the
facility at Aurora, Cinram Distribution shall be solely responsible for any
additional costs incurred to make such shipments, with the exception of freight
costs. For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether the “banded” Products
are shipped from the Olyphant or Aurora facility, the freight expense shall be
charged to WEA (just as it is for all other Products). For the further avoidance
of

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

 

doubt, all Fees associated with the direct shipment of such Products to WEA
customers under this Agreement, including all pick, pack and ship fees, shall be
fully applicable to such direct shipments.

(e) Company’s Undertakings.

 

  (i) Company shall render Services for WEA to all locations throughout the
Territory for all orders for Products as designated by WEA. The Services:
(A) shall be rendered on a so-called “label blind” basis; (B) shall be rendered
in at least the same general manner, subject to at least the same general
standards and in at least the same general quality as provided by Company to all
other parties whose products are distributed by Company in the Territory, but if
any such services are not part of the standard Services otherwise provided to
WEA hereunder and the provision of such services is at a higher cost to Company,
then if WEA requests such services, such services shall be provided to WEA
hereunder, but subject to the same terms and conditions provided to such other
party (this clause (B) shall not require that Company provide WEA with the
automated services provided in Company’s Huntsville Facility or otherwise
require Company to provide any new services to WEA if the cost of providing such
services would be similarly unreasonably burdensome to Company; provided,
however, that nothing contained in this clause (B) shall limit Company’s
obligations set forth in Paragraph 7), (C) shall be rendered in at least the
same manner, subject to at least the same standards and in at least the same
quality as was provided to WEA’s Affiliates for the products of WEA’s Affiliates
immediately prior to the Original Effective Date; (D) shall be rendered in
accordance with “first-class” standards that meet the highest quality available
in the industry; and (E) shall be rendered in accordance with, or exceed, each
of the service level requirements set forth on Schedule A hereto (the
requirements set forth on Schedule A hereto being the “Service Level
Requirements”).

 

  (ii) Company shall ship each Product without alteration in the same
configuration and format designated by WEA.

 

  (iii) Company shall accept the return of all units of Products previously
distributed by or on behalf of WEA in the Territory prior to the Original
Effective Date.

(f) Business Continuity; Facilities.

 

  (i) Upon WEA’s request, senior Company employees shall meet with a team
designated by WEA to discuss ongoing business continuity issues and, if deemed
applicable by WEA, an efficient transition to one or more new manufacturers
and/or distributors. At WEA’s option, WEA and/or its designated agent(s) shall
be permitted at any time during normal business hours to enter any facilities in
which any property of WEA (including without limitation Inventory, Products, or
Components) reside, in order to retrieve or otherwise access any such WEA
property.

 

  (ii)

Company shall provide at least ** prior written notice to WEA of any actual or
anticipated closure or discontinuation of use (whether permanent or temporary
and whether partial or complete) of any of Company’s facilities used in
providing PP&S Services (including without limitation Company’s facilities in
Aurora, IL

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

 

or Olyphant, PA). In the event of any actual or anticipated closure or
discontinuation of the use of (whether permanently or temporarily and whether
partially or completely) any such facilities, then Company shall: (A) pay and be
responsible for, and shall reimburse WEA for, all reasonable expenses incurred
by or on behalf of WEA arising from any change to one or more new facility(ies);
(B) reimburse WEA for increased shipping and related costs and expenses incurred
by or on behalf of WEA as a result of such change (and shall provide WEA with
any other similar types of reimbursements and other accommodations as were
provided to WEA after the closing of Company’s Simi Valley facility); and
(C) ensure that there is no adverse impact on the services (including without
limitation the quality, reliability, timeliness, or cost to WEA of services)
and/or Company’s satisfaction of any Service Level Requirements.

 

  (iii) Company shall provide advance written notice to WEA of all decisions
regarding the sale, transfer, disposition, or any other change with respect to
Company’s material property, facilities and/or assets used in providing the PP&S
Services.

(g) Compliance with Law; Code of Conduct. Company shall comply (i) with all laws
and regulations in connection with Company’s undertakings under this Agreement,
except where the failure to do so individually or in the aggregate is
immaterial; and (ii) subject to relevant local laws including privacy laws, with
the code of conduct attached as Schedule B hereto.

(h) Quarterly Meetings. At least once every calendar quarter, WEA may meet with
Company’s Chief Executive Officer (or equivalent) and Chief Financial Officer
(or equivalent) to assess Company’s performance under this Exhibit and its
ongoing ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(i) Shipping. If WEA is responsible for shipping expenses, should WEA so elect,
WEA shall have the right to: (i) select the shipping agent(s) utilized by
Company for shipping of units of Products and/or other materials hereunder (and,
in doing so, assume the risk of loss for such units of Products in transit); or
(ii) in lieu of selecting such shipping agent(s), require that Company submit to
WEA any proposed shipping agent(s) which Company wishes to utilize hereunder for
WEA’s prior written approval. If, in a particular instance, WEA is not
responsible for shipping expenses or WEA does not exercise its rights pursuant
to the preceding sentence, Company shall utilize the same shipping agent(s)
utilized by Company for the shipping of a majority of the other products shipped
by or on behalf of Company.

(j) Additional Services. At WEA’s reasonable request, Company shall provide WEA
with assembly, packing and shipping services for “point of sale,” promotional
and merchandising materials to be utilized in connection with Products. Such
services shall be provided by Company to WEA on a non-exclusive basis only (and
only to the extent that WEA so requests any such services) and, to the extent so
requested, shall be provided to WEA at competitive market rates otherwise
available to WEA. Notwithstanding this Paragraph 1(j), Company shall only be
required to provide such services if either WEA (either itself or through any of
its Affiliates) provided such services on its own behalf prior to the Original
Effective Date or if Company then-currently provides such services to any party
(in which case, if WEA requests such services and Company is not contractually
prohibited from providing such services to WEA, they shall be provided to WEA on
the same terms and conditions as are provided to such other party).

(k) Permitted Exclusion. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary:

2. Title. Title to units of Products under this Exhibit (including all
copyrights and trademarks contained therein) shall remain in WEA or WEA’s
Affiliates, as applicable. Company acknowledges that Products (including all
intellectual property contained therein and relating thereto) are protected
under copyright laws and that WEA is the rightful owner or license holder of all
such copyrights. Company acknowledges that any removal of any such materials
from Company’s approved facilities without WEA’s written approval, and any
distribution of any such materials in the Territory without WEA’s written
approval, is an infringement of WEA’s copyright. Company shall bear the risk of
loss for units of Products in Company’s possession, under Company’s control or
in transit during any shipping of Products between Facilities (to the extent
that Company is responsible for paying such shipping expenses). Notwithstanding,
and in addition to, the foregoing, solely to protect WEA in the circumstance
that it is ever determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that units of
Products are owned by Company contrary to the express terms of this Exhibit and
intention of the parties, Company hereby grants and shall be deemed to have
granted to WEA on the Effective Date a security interest in all such present and
future Products, and all products and proceeds (including, without limitation,
insurance proceeds but excluding amounts payable to Cinram for PP&S Services
provided hereunder) of the foregoing, and any additions, improvements and
accessions to, and all books and records describing or used in connection with
any of the foregoing, to secure all debts, liabilities and obligations of
Company to WEA, whether now existing or arising hereafter (including without
limitation as a result of Company’s breach of this Agreement or any other
agreement with WEA, including as a result of the rejection of this Agreement or
any other agreement with WEA in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding) and whether
liquidated or contingent. The security interest shall attach on the earlier of
when such Products are (a) acquired by the Company or (b) identified to the
contract as contemplated in UCC Section 2-501. Company agrees to take such steps
as WEA may reasonably request in connection with the perfection of such security
interest or otherwise to protect the rights of WEA with respect thereto, at
WEA’s expense. WEA shall have all rights, powers and privileges of a secured
party under the UCC.

3. Ordering Products. WEA shall cause the manufacture of and delivery to Company
of such stocks of Products as shall be determined by WEA in WEA’s sole
discretion.

4. Company’s Financial Obligations. WEA shall not be responsible for payment of
any of Company’s (or Company’s Affiliates’) indirect or general overhead charges
or the salaries of Company’s (or Company’s Affiliates’) employees or agents. All
costs associated with the rendering of Services shall be borne by Company. All
charges for all packaging materials (including boxes and filler materials) are
at the cost of Company. All actual, out-of-pocket, non-overhead freight charges
incurred by or on behalf of Company under this Exhibit for shipping of units of
Products from Company’s distribution warehouse facilities to WEA’s customers or
otherwise at WEA’s request shall be borne by WEA. To the extent that any
shipping costs hereunder are to be borne by WEA, WEA shall only be required to
pay Company’s actual, documented, out-of-pocket costs charged by such shipping
company for the shipment of units of Products and/or other materials hereunder,
and such costs shall be reimbursed to Company by WEA within ten (10) business
days following Company’s rendition of such invoice to WEA (but in no event shall
WEA be required to make any such payment prior to Company’s payment of such
invoice to such shipping agent). Company shall be solely responsible for all
costs or expenses related to the shipping of units of Products from WEA’s
manufacturer to the extent that Company or Company’s Affiliate is then-currently
WEA’s manufacturer to Company’s distribution Facilities and for the cost of any
shipping between any Facilities (except if such shipping was requested by WEA).

5. Terms of Sale of Products. WEA shall determine all terms of sale for
Products.

6. Other Obligations.

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

(a) Storage. Company shall accept and store all units of Products delivered to
or otherwise held by Company under this Exhibit at no charge; provided, however,
that with respect to any particular Product, Company shall not be required to
store more units of such Product than is necessary to satisfy the next ** demand
(such determination as to what constitutes ** demand shall be made jointly by
WEA and Company based, where possible, upon actual, gross units of Products
ordered during the prior ** and shall be made for all Products no more
frequently than semi-annually during the Term. With respect to units of Products
so determined to be in excess of a ** demand therefor, Company shall notify WEA
of the specific units of Products constituting such excess and within ** days
following WEA’s receipt of such notice, WEA shall (in WEA’s sole discretion)
either: (i) remove such excess units of Products (at WEA’s expense) (and if WEA
directs such destruction, Company shall destroy such materials in accordance
with WEA’s instructions and shall promptly provide WEA with an officer’s
certificate that confirms such destruction); (ii) direct Company to destroy such
excess units of Products (at WEA’s expense); or (iii) direct Company to store
such excess either: (x) at a Facility at a cost to WEA of eight dollars ($8) per
skid per month; or (y) offsite at Company’s or Company’s Affiliates leased
facility approved in advance, in writing, by WEA and the actual, documented,
out-of-pocket expense charged by such facility to Company for such storage shall
be reimbursed to Company by WEA. Amounts owing under this Paragraph 6(a) shall
be invoiced by Company at month end and shall be payable ** days from the date
of the rendition of such invoice. Products shall be kept segregated from all of
Company’s other products or merchandise. The risk of loss, due to any reason, of
units of Products in Company’s possession or control shall be borne by Company,
as further described herein; provided, however, that to the extent any such loss
was directly caused by a WEA Employee, Company shall not bear the risk of loss
except to the extent such loss is or would have been covered by Company’s
property insurance as required under this Agreement and as set forth on
Schedule C hereto.

(b) Insurance. During the Term, Company shall: (i) comply with all provisions
set forth on Schedule C hereto; and (ii) at Company’s sole cost and expense,
maintain adequate insurance coverage for: (A) all Products while such Products
are in Company’s possession, under Company’s control or in transit to or from
Company or its designees to any Facility; and (B) the other matters set forth on
Schedule C hereto. The insurance required hereunder is not intended to limit
Company’s liability as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(c) Computer Access. In order that WEA be able to monitor daily shipment,
returns and inventory activity of Products, Company shall give WEA access to
Company’s computer system for the purpose of providing WEA with real-time
information stored therein relating to Products at Company’s expense (but no
access shall be allowed to information relating to any other party’s products or
any personal data possessed by Company). Such system shall provide WEA with all
of the same types of reports and information currently provided by, and as may
be available from, Company’s computer systems in connection with other products
distributed by Company. In connection therewith, Company shall work with WEA to
ensure that WEA is provided with at least the same level of reports and
information that WEA’s own systems provided as of the Original Effective Date.
Nothing in such reports or information provided shall impart any
competitively-sensitive information about Company, Company’s Affiliates or any
third parties for which Company renders any services or any personal data
possessed by Company. Such access shall be available to WEA **, at all times
during the Term. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company may
perform system maintenance and upgrades during which such systems may not be
available; provided, however, that such downtime does not exceed **. Throughout
the Term, Company shall, at Company’s cost, reasonably maintain and enhance its
IT services so as to be of a comparable standard to those offered by
“first-class” distributors in the Territory.

(d) Inspection. Subject to the provisions set forth below, during the Term and
for a period of one (1) year following the expiration or termination of the
Term, WEA shall have the right to inspect each

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

WEA Facility and any other facility utilized by Company in connection with
Products, or the provision of Services hereunder, during regular business hours
(utilizing either WEA’s own employees, third-party advisers or representatives,
insurers, or other experts retained by WEA). WEA may conduct such inspections of
each Facility or other facility up to **; provided, however, that to the extent
WEA or any of its Affiliates are required by law or contract to inspect, to
provide inspections or to provide information that cannot reasonably be obtained
without an inspection for any party that would require inspections to be
performed more than **, WEA shall, upon reasonable prior written notice to
Company, be permitted to perform any such inspection(s). In addition to the
inspections permitted in the preceding sentence, at any time upon receipt of any
Security Breach Notice (as defined in Paragraph 6(e)), WEA shall have the
unlimited right upon reasonable notice to inspect any facility which was the
location of the event(s) giving rise to the need for such Security Breach
Notice. During any such inspection, WEA may conduct physical inventories of
units of Products in Company’s possession or under Company’s control. WEA shall
not have access to any competitively-sensitive information relating to any other
party’s products, or any personal data possessed by Company during the
inspections permitted under this Paragraph 6(d).

(e) Security. Company shall maintain security standards that are at least
equivalent to those provided by other “first-class” distributors in the
Territory, both in the segregated area of the WEA Facilities for Products and
throughout the WEA Facilities, and shall at all times employ the utmost care and
diligence to prevent loss, damage, theft, disappearance, unauthorized
destruction or usage of Products. Company’s security procedures shall be subject
to WEA’s prior written approval. Company shall maintain such procedures as
approved by WEA and as may reasonably be given to Company from time to time
throughout the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company’s security measures
(which shall include closed-circuit television monitoring, pass-protected
access, employee checking and spot searching, etc.) shall be sufficient to
ensure that Products and the intellectual property embodied in such Products are
in no way compromised, stolen, “leaked” to the public e.g., copying of
recordings embodied on Products which may lead to the availability of such
recordings to the public via the Internet or similar means) or otherwise made
available to any unauthorized parties. Upon discovery of (i) loss, damage,
theft, disappearance, or destruction of Products exceeding ** dollars **; or
(ii) any unauthorized usage of Products, Company shall notify WEA as soon as
reasonably possible, and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours following
such discovery, and shall include in such notification sufficient detail to
allow WEA to investigate such incident (each, a “Security Breach Notice”).
Regardless of Company’s compliance with all security measures set forth herein
or with procedures approved by WEA, Company shall be liable as provided herein
for the loss, damage, theft, disappearance, destruction or unauthorized usage of
any Products.

(f) Salvage. At all times and regardless of whether Company or its insurers are
required to compensate WEA for loss as required under this Agreement, WEA shall
retain the sole right to salvage for damaged Products. Company shall not
surrender damaged Products to insurers or any other party for destruction or
disposal without obtaining WEA’s prior written consent.

(g) WEA Employees. Company shall throughout the Term, at the request of WEA,
provide up to a maximum of ** employees of WEA or its Affiliates (the “WEA
Employees”) with, at Company’s expense: (i) reasonable office accommodations at
such WEA Facilities utilized for distribution and/or warehousing as may be
specified from time to time by WEA; (ii) individual computers; (iii) copy
services and any other similar office services in order to permit them to carry
out their functions; and (iv) all other reasonable support functions as provided
to them as of the Original Effective Date. Company shall also provide telephone,
Internet and fax access for each WEA Employee, and WEA shall reimburse Company
for Company’s actual, documented, out-of-pocket costs therefor. Amounts owing
under this Paragraph (g) shall be invoiced by Company at month end and shall be
payable ** days from the date of the rendition of such invoice. WEA shall be
responsible for the direction of, and all compensation and related obligations
for, the WEA Employees. The WEA Employees shall operate in accordance with

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

WEA’s code of conduct and Company’s standard code of conduct contained in its
employee policy manual at the applicable WEA Facility (which code of conduct
shall be subject to WEA’s reasonable approval) and all other lawful policies
adopted by Company from time to time governing the conduct of all of its
employees and contractors. In the performance of their tasks, the WEA Employees
shall not have access to any competitively-sensitive information relating to any
other party’s products or any personal data possessed by Company.

7. Technology. Company shall reasonably update the WEA Facilities at Company’s
cost to keep up with new technology requirements, including investing in
technology, systems, equipment and processes to automate distribution processes,
packaging and assembly to provide at least the same level of quality and service
provided by other “first-class” distributors of Records in the Territory. In the
event that any investment in a fundamental new technology (e.g., the conversion
to automated systems) results in a decrease in Company’s net costs (i.e., taking
into account the cost of Company’s said investment in implementing such new
technology) by more than **, the Fees shall be adjusted so that the net cost
benefit is shared equally between WEA and Company. Company shall maintain and
update its information and technology capabilities, at Company’s reasonable
cost, to meet reasonable WEA requirements and maintain competitive services for
WEA and its customers.

8. Invoices and Payments.

(a) Rendition of Invoices. For each month of the Term, Company shall prepare and
render invoices to WEA on a weekly basis setting forth all Fees owed by WEA
under this Exhibit for such week. Except with respect to shipping charges to be
borne by WEA as provided in Paragraph 4 of this Exhibit, the amount due to
Company pursuant to each such invoice shall be due and payable by WEA to Company
in US dollars (except where such amounts are expressly designated in Canadian
dollars in particular Schedules to this Agreement, which amounts shall be
payable in Canadian dollars) on or ** following Company’s rendition of such
invoice. Company shall submit all such invoices to WEA electronically pursuant
to instructions given by WEA to Company from time to time (and in paper form, to
the extent WEA so requests) and to the extent that Company’s and WEA’s computer
systems do not already provide for the electronic submission of all such
invoices, Company shall use Company’s reasonable efforts to work with WEA
starting upon the commencement of the Term to create a system whereby all such
invoices can be submitted electronically to WEA.

(b) Audits. WEA shall have the right, at WEA’s sole expense, to examine (and/or
to appoint representatives to examine) Company’s (and Company’s Affiliates’)
books and records in order to: (i) verify the correctness of any invoice
prepared and rendered by Company in accordance with Paragraph 8(a);
(ii) establish the applicability of the provisions contained in Paragraph 5 of
the main body of the Agreement, Paragraph 14 of this Exhibit, and/or the
occurrence of any Termination Event; or (iii) otherwise establish compliance by
Company with its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that only
independent, third-party auditors (i.e., auditors other than WEA’s then-current
outside auditor) shall be utilized for the review of Company’s books and
records. Independent third-party auditors shall have access to all information
necessary to perform their duties, however nothing in any report provided to WEA
or its Affiliates by any such independent third-party auditors shall impart to
WEA or its Affiliates any competitively-sensitive information about Company,
Company’s Affiliates or any third parties for which Company renders any
services. If any such audit reveals that WEA and/or WEA’s Affiliates have been
overcharged, Company shall reimburse WEA in the amount of the overcharge. If any
such audit reveals that WEA has been overcharged by an amount exceeding ** for
the audit period, Company shall reimburse WEA in the amount of the overcharge
plus all fees paid by WEA to the auditors concerned in connection with such
audit and any other actual, documented, out-of-pocket expense incurred by WEA in
connection with such audit. Company shall pay interest to WEA on the amount of
the overcharge at **

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

Regardless of the number of audits conducted hereunder revealing the same
specific overcharge to WEA, Company shall not be required to repay to WEA the
amount of any such overcharge more than once. WEA’s audit right shall survive
the expiration or termination of the Term for two (2) years; provided, however,
that to the extent WEA or any of WEA’s Affiliates are required by law or
contract to audit, to provide audits or to provide information which cannot be
reasonably obtained without an audit for any third party subsequent to two (2)
years after the expiration or termination of the Term, then WEA’s audit rights
shall be so extended beyond such date as may be reasonably necessary for WEA to
comply with such obligations. Company shall retain all books and records related
to the performance of Services hereunder after the expiration or termination of
the Term for so long as WEA may need to perform audits hereunder, but in no
event for more than three (3) years after the rendition of the invoice with
respect to the Services to which such invoice relates; provided, however, that
before Company destroys any books or records, Company shall deliver written
notice of such intent to destroy to WEA not more than sixty (60) days, and not
less than thirty (30) days, before the intended date of destruction. WEA shall
have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to request copies of the
books and records to be destroyed, in which case Company shall make copies of
such books and records and deliver the same to WEA (but excluding information
related to other customers of Company) at WEA’s expense (but at Company’s
expense if such copies are of electronic files). As used herein, “books and
records” shall include, without limitation, physical data and data stored in any
electronic, magnetic or optical format.

Schedule C

Insurance Coverage

NOTE: The following insurance requirements are intended to provide insurance
coverage under this Agreement and each of the other service agreements being
entered into between the parties hereto and their Affiliates as of the date
hereof. Accordingly, to the extent any such other agreements (or other Exhibits
to this Agreement) require insurance coverage thereunder that is duplicative of
the insurance coverage provided for below, such insurance coverage need not be
duplicated under such other agreements.

Property Insurance. Including Extra Expense and Business Interruption: Company
at all times and at its own cost and expense shall insure WEA’s property as
defined and required in this Agreement under so-called “all risk” policies of
insurance, including but not limited to coverage for extended perils,
earthquake, windstorm, flood, and collapse; open cargo, war risk cargo and
terrorism. Company shall purchase an insurance policy that indemnifies WEA for
non-physical damage to source material, if available on a commercially
reasonable basis and is warranted by the risk profile of the Company. WEA’s
property shall consist of and not be limited to source material, finished goods
and inventory, returned stock, master recordings, digital files, DVDs, CDs and
all printing and packaging material.

Either dedicated policies or portfolio (blanket) coverage forms may provide the
“all risk” property insurance, providing that the per occurrence limit of
insurance available with respect to the WEA property at any Company location for
property damage, business interruption, and extra expense shall not be less than
** per occurrence; and Terrorism for WEA Manufacturing Alsdorf shall be no less
** per occurrence. Further, the limits of insurance applicable to the extended
perils and the perils of earthquake, flood and terrorism shall be an annual
aggregate. The deductible on said policies shall be the sole responsibility of
Company and be of no greater amount than is commercially reasonable for a
company of its financial standing. These policies shall be primary to any policy
maintained by or on behalf of WEA. WEA may, at any time, review the amount of
insurance required hereunder, and may, from time to time, but in no event more
than annually, require a lower or higher amount depending on the best available
estimate of the aggregate exposure to loss arising from damage to WEA’s property
under this Agreement.

The open cargo and war risk cargo insurance policies shall provide per shipment
limits of indemnity of no less than ** and contain a warehouse coverage
endorsement. In the event that the ** limit of insurance is not adequate to
fully insure any given shipment under this Agreement, Company shall purchase
additional insurance to cover the full replacement cost of the shipment. The
deductible on these policies shall be no greater than what is commercially
reasonable for an enterprise with Company’s financial standing. The deductible
shall be the responsibility of Company and this coverage shall be primary to any
coverage maintained by WEA.

All policies shall provide for a reimbursement value with respect to WEA’s
property at replacement cost for new property of like kind and quality, with no
deduction for depreciation, and shall include WEA, its partners, officers,
employees, and Affiliates as loss payees under the policies as their interest
may appear, and shall provide that no act or omission on the part of Company as
the title insured shall prejudice a direct claim by the additional insured. All
property policies shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of WEA.
Further, Company agrees to secure terms with its insurer that in the event that
Company fails to pay premium resulting in a cancellation of coverage that WEA
will be given the opportunity to maintain coverage for its insured property
under the policy; and Company will reimburse WEA within ten (10) days of notice
for the expense incurred.

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

Public Liability Insurance: Company shall also be required to obtain and
maintain comprehensive general liability insurance and a follow-form “umbrella
liability” policy, providing insurance against claims for bodily injury,
including death, property damage, personal and advertising injury, blanket
contractual liability, broad form property damage liability, explosion, collapse
and underground hazard, and products and completed operations, for such claims
occurring or alleged to have occurred in the course of any operations or
activities contemplated by this Agreement, in such amounts as from time to time
are carried by prudent owners of comparable operations, but in no event less
than **, and covering as additional insureds all the WEA individuals and
entities for which and to the extent it is responsible under this Agreement.

Workers’ Compensation and Employers’ Liability Insurance:

The Workers’ Compensation policy shall include the following coverage:

 

1. Coverage A    Statutory 2. Coverage B    Employers’ Liability

Bodily Injury by Accident

   ** each accident

Bodily Injury by Disease

   ** policy limit

Bodily Injury by Disease

   ** each employee

Company shall maintain any other employment related insurance coverage required
by any jurisdiction having control over any employees or operations used in
connection with this Agreement.

Automobile Liability Insurance: Company shall purchase and maintain automobile
liability and follow-form “umbrella liability” insurance for all owned,
non-owned and hired vehicles with limits of not less than ** combined single
limit for bodily injury and property damage. This insurance coverage must
include all automotive and truck equipment used in the performance of the work
under this Agreement, and must include the loading and unloading of same.

Environmental Liability Insurance: In the event Company encounters and must
perform or engage a contractor to perform work related to the remediation or
abatement of “hazardous material” which includes, without limitation, any
flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous materials, hazardous
waste, hazardous or toxic substances, or related materials defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980,
as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq.), the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Action of 1986 (Pub. L. No. 99-499, 100 stat. 1613 (1986)), the
Hazardous Material Transportation Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et
seq.) and in the regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant
thereto, or any other federal, state or local environmental law, ordinance,
rule, or regulation (or applicable law in any jurisdiction outside the US),
Company, or any contractor performing such work on behalf of Company, shall
provide “contractor’s pollution liability” insurance, as applicable to the work
to be performed, covering claims from third-party injury and property damage as
a result of pollution conditions emanating from on-site, under the site, or off
the site arising out of its operations and completed operations. Completed
operations coverage shall remain in effect for no less than five (5) years after
final completion. Minimum liability limits, including excess liability coverage,
shall ** each occurrence and ** in the aggregate.

The automobile liability insurance must contain provisions for thirty (30) days
prior written notice of cancellation, nonrenewal, material change or reduction
of insurance sent by certified mail return receipt requested, and waiver of
subrogation in favor of WEA, additional insureds and all other such entities, as
may be reasonably requested by WEA.

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

Provisions Applicable to All Policies of Insurance Required Hereunder: Policies
of insurance shall be underwritten by an insurer with an AM Best rating of no
less than A- and a financial size class of VII or better (or an equivalent
rating from an alternate rating agency), and may be an admitted or non-admitted
carrier. Any insurer not meeting these criteria must be approved in writing by
WEA’s risk management department whose authorization shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Satisfactory evidence of insurance shall be provided before the
commencement of this Agreement and shall be evidenced at each renewal by a
binder and certificate of insurance at least ten (10) days before expiration of
coverage and upon request of WEA, on an annual basis or as necessitated by a
material change in coverage or legal action. Such certificates of insurance
shall include loss payee and additional insured provisions as previously noted
in this Exhibit. Company shall forward to WEA a copy of all required policy
forms upon request. With respect to property located outside the U.S, any loss
payable to WEA shall be adjusted and paid in the currency of the United States
of America, subject to the rate of exchange published in The Wall Street Journal
on the date of the loss. If Company elects to maintain insurance for property
located outside the US, where the policy is denominated in a currency other than
the US dollar, such policy limits and deductibles shall at all times be
sufficient to meet the US dollar denominated requirements set forth on this
Schedule C.

Each of WEA and Company agrees to negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve
any disagreement which in any way affects any insurance required to be carried
hereunder. In the event that such good faith negotiation does not result in the
resolution of any such disagreement within a fifteen (15) day period, the
parties shall retain an arbitrator to make a fair and reasonable determination
as to any such disagreement (the “Insurance Arbitrator”). The Insurance
Arbitrator shall be a retired executive or attorney with substantial experience
in the insurance industry, preferably in the field of manufacturing, shall be
independent of each of WEA and Company, and shall endeavor to provide a
determination of any dispute among the parties within thirty (30) days of being
retained, but in each case, as quickly as possible. The parties shall jointly
appoint the Insurance Arbitrator and the identity of the Insurance Arbitrator
shall be satisfactory to each of the parties. The parties shall share equally in
the cost and expense of retaining the Insurance Arbitrator. If the parties
cannot agree upon a person to act as the Insurance Arbitrator within thirty (30)
days of the expiry of the fifteen (15) day negotiation period specified in this
Paragraph, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration
Association. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in conformance with
the rules established by the American Arbitration Association. Any determination
made by the Insurance Arbitrator shall be final and binding on each of the
parties. For the avoidance of doubt, Company shall at all times including during
the pendency of any dispute and until such time as such dispute is resolved be
required to continue to procure insurance policies at its sole expense in full
force and effect as required in this Agreement and as specified herein.
