“1.3                           REAL D XL Cinema System and XLW Cinema System.  REAL D shall ship the REAL D XL Cinema System or REAL D XLW Cinema System, as requested by Licensee from time to time, unless the installation of such REAL D System would result in the installation of more than 3,000 REAL D Systems that are then licensed and operated by Licensee, unless otherwise agreed by REAL D.

REAL D agrees that each REAL D System must meet current and future studio, SMPTE and DCI standards for 3D presentation, including, without limitation, higher light level standards, faster frame rates or other presentation changes.  REAL D acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that REAL D cannot provide a 3D functionality on any digital projection system due to the width of the Auditorium screen, the screen ratio or any limitation of the REAL D System, REAL D shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and install in such Auditoriums a digital cinema projection or other system, for the purpose of the “3D” display of 3D Shows (as defined in Section 1.5 below), that is acceptable to Licensee, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld.  REAL D agrees that either (a) the REAL D Systems shall perform “Ghost Busting” functionality on the REAL D hardware to meet all distributor requirements for the exhibition of a 3D Show or Alternative Content, or (b) it will provide to Licensee an alternative solution when and if required by a distributor in accordance with such distributor’s requirements for the exhibition of a 3D Show and Alternative Content, at no cost to Licensee.  All Ghost Busting solutions, updates and equipment required pursuant to (a) or (b) shall be provided at REAL D’s sole cost and expense.  Additionally, REAL D shall be solely responsible for paying any fees charged by third parties to permit 3D Shows or Alternative Content to be exhibited over Licensee’s digital projector.”
