Exhibit 10.31




SHARED SERVICES AGREEMENT




Dated                     , 2007




     The parties to this agreement are FX Real Estate and Entertainment Inc. a Delaware corporation
(“FXREE”), CKX, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CKX”), and 19X, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“19X”). FXREE, CKX and 19X are sometimes referred to collectively hereinafter
as the “parties” or individually as a “party.”







     FXREE,
through its subsidiary FX Luxury Realty, LLC (“FXLR”), owns interests in
subsidiaries that are engaged in various activities, including real estate development. CKX is
engaged in the ownership, development and commercial utilization of entertainment content. Shares
of CKX common stock are registered for public trading under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.







     CKX and 19X are parties to a Merger Agreement dated June 1, 2007, as subsequently amended (as
so amended, the “19X Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which 19X will acquire CKX through the
merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of 19X with and into CKX (the “CKX Acquisition Merger”)
with CKX surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of 19X. Concurrently with the
execution and delivery of the 19X Merger Agreement, CKX and Flag Luxury Properties, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“Flag” ), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement
(as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which CKX acquired 50% of the membership
interests in FXLR.



     On September 26, 2007, certain members of FXLR contributed their common membership interests
in FXLR to FXREE in exchange for shares of common stock of FXREE, as a result of which such
members, including CKX and Flag, together with an existing stockholder, owned 100% of the
outstanding shares of common stock of FXREE and FXREE owned 100% of the common membership
interests of FXLR .



     Through a series of distribution transactions effected or to be effected pursuant to the 19X
Merger Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, 50.25% of the outstanding common stock of FXREE will be
distributed to the stockholders of CKX, with the remaining 49.75% of the outstanding common stock
of FXREE to be distributed to the members and certain employees of Flag.



     Each of FXREE and CKX (and, after the CKX Acquisition Merger, 19X) has certain capabilities by
virtue of its management, employees, expertise and other resources, and the parties have determined
that certain of such capabilities are complementary to those of the other party. Accordingly, each
of FXREE, on the one hand, and CKX (and, after the CKX Acquisition Merger, 19X), on the other hand,
wishes to obtain certain services from the other party, and is willing to perform certain services
for the other party, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.



 









 





     In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this
Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:



     1. Shared Services.



     1.1 Each Party to Provide Services. Subject to Section 1.5 hereof and Section 1.6
hereof, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), CKX shall perform services described on
Schedule A to this Agreement (the “Provided Services”) for FXREE, and FXREE shall
perform Provided Services for CKX, in each case as determined pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof. In
performing any Provided Services pursuant to this Agreement, a party shall use the same attention,
skill and timeliness that it uses in conducting its own business, so long as the overall standard
of care is, at a minimum, commercially reasonable.



     1.2 Determination of Services to be Performed. Monthly, or with such other frequency
as the parties may mutually determine, at least one Services Representative (as hereinafter
defined) from CKX and at least one Services Representative from FXREE shall meet either in person,
at a time and place mutually determined, or by telephone, at a time mutually determined, to review
the needs and capabilities of the parties hereto with respect to Provided Services and to allocate
to the parties hereto their respective responsibilities for performing Provided Services hereunder
for the other party. Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to
undertake the performance for the other party of any and all Provided Services as may be reasonably
needed by the other party for the fulfillment of its business objectives, including, without
limitation, its ordinary course business operations, any non-ordinary course initiatives that may
be approved by its board of directors, managing member or other applicable governing body, group or
person, and the satisfaction of its respective duties under the 19X Merger Agreement, the Purchase
Agreement and any and all agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in
connection therewith. However, neither party shall be required to agree to perform any Provided
Services to the extent doing so would be materially disruptive to its business; if a party
determines that it will be unable to perform any Provided Services that may be requested hereunder,
it shall promptly inform the other party of such determination..



     1.3 Services Representatives. Each party shall maintain two (2) representatives,
either of whom may be relied upon exclusively in dealing with the other party under this Agreement
for purposes of determining the Provided Services to be performed hereunder (each, a “Services
Representative”). Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party
is identifying its initial Services Representatives to the other party in a written notice. Either
Party may change either or both of its Services Representatives at any time by giving written
notice to the other party. In performing its obligations with respect to Provided Services under
this agreement, a party shall be entitled to rely upon any instructions, authorizations, approvals
or other information provided by a Services Representative of the other party.



-2-









 





     1.4 Personal Nature of Services.



     (a) The Provided Services to be provided by each party hereunder are personal in nature.
Except as expressly contemplated in Section 1.5 hereof, neither party may assign or encumber this
Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder or delegate or subcontract any performance
or other obligation hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party.



     (b) If a party, in performing any Provided Services hereunder, in its reasonable judgment
deems it to be expedient or appropriate to use the services of consultants, professionals,
independent contractors and other third parties (including without limitation law firms or
accounting firms) to perform in whole or in part any of such Provided Services, the performing
party shall first request the written approval of the other party to use the services of such third
party. The performing party shall not use the services of such third party without the other
party’s written consent, which may be withheld in the other party’s sole discretion. The parties
shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to cause all invoices with respect to the fees and
expenses of third party service providers to be sent directly to the party for whom such services
were performed, and (regardless of the addressee of the invoice) that party shall pay such fees and
expenses directly.



     1.5 Substitution of 19X. Promptly after the consummation of the CKX Acquisition
Merger, CKX shall notify FXREE of such consummation and such notice shall be deemed to be an
assignment to 19X, and an assumption by 19X, of all of CKX’s substantive rights and obligations
under this Agreement, and from and after such notice: (i) references in this Agreement to CKX
relating to the substantive rights and obligations of CKX hereunder shall be deemed to be
references to 19X, (ii) 19X shall be entitled to all of the substantive rights of CKX hereunder and
shall be bound by and shall perform all of the substantive obligations of CKX in this Agreement,
and (iii) CKX shall have no further substantive rights or obligations under this Agreement.



     1.6 Modification of Services. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement
notwithstanding, if a majority of the Independent Representatives (as defined in Section 2.2
hereof) of a party to this Agreement determine in good faith that any specific Provided Services
being performed hereunder have had or are likely to have an adverse effect on such party or its
assets, financial condition, prospects, legal rights or responsibilities, reputation or operations
(including, without limitation, in whole or in part as a result of any of the relationships between
the parties (including, without limitation, any of those relationships described in the recitals at
the head of this Agreement)), then such party shall give the other parties to this Agreement notice
of such determination (which notice shall include a description in reasonable detail of the
specific Provided Services with respect to which the determination has been made), and promptly
upon and after the receipt of such notice the specific Provided Services shall no longer be
performed.



     1.7 Employment Contracts of Key Personnel. From time to time after the date hereof
the parties may enter into employment agreements with employees who may be expected to perform
Provided Services hereunder. Each of the parties shall use its



-3-









 




reasonable commercial efforts to cause any such employment agreement to contain an appropriate
provision whereby the employee acknowledges and agrees that performing such Provided Services under
this agreement may be part of the employee’s duties from time to time as directed by the employer.




     1.8 Compliance with Laws. Each party shall comply with all applicable laws, codes,
regulations, ordinances and rules with respect to the Provided Services to be performed hereunder,
and shall procure and maintain all permits or licenses that may be required at any time in
connection with the performance of the Provided Services.



     1.9 No Additional Resources. In providing Provided Services hereunder, no party shall
be obligated to hire any additional employees, maintain the employment of any specific employee or
purchase, lease or license any additional equipment or materials.



     1.10 Cooperation. To the extent required in the reasonable determination of a party
performing Provided Services hereunder, the party receiving such services shall cooperate with the
performing party in all reasonable respects in the provision of such Provided Services.



     1.11 Force Majeure. Each party shall be excused from its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement to the extent performance thereof is prevented by any act of God, war, riot, fire,
explosion, accident, flood, sabotage or acts of terrorism, lack of (despite reasonable efforts to
obtain) adequate labor or material, compliance with governmental requests, laws, regulations,
orders or actions, breakage or failure of machinery or apparatus, failure of a third party to
perform, or any other cause or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the performing party.



     2. Term.



     2.1 Term and Termination. This Agreement is effective on the date hereof and shall
remain in force and effect until December 31, 2010 (the “Term”); provided,
however, that the Term may be extended or earlier terminated by the mutual written
agreement of the parties, or may be earlier terminated upon 90 days written notice from either
party together with a certificate from an officer or manager (as applicable) of the terminating
party that a majority of the Independent Representatives (as defined in Section 2.2 hereof) of such
party have determined in good faith that the terms and/or provisions of this agreement are not in
all material respects fair and consistent with the standards reasonably expected to apply in
arms-length agreements between affiliated parties; provided further,
however, that in any event either party may terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion
upon 180 days prior written notice to the other party.



     2.2 Independent Representative. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Independent
Representative” of a party shall mean:




     (i) in the case of any party with securities that are registered
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are publicly
traded on a recognized United States securities market or exchange, any
individual that is an “Independent Director” of



-4-









 






such party for purposes of the rules of the principal United States
market or exchange on which such securities trade; and for purposes of
this item (i) a determination of the “Independent Representatives” of
such party shall mean the determination of a majority of such
Independent Directors; and




     (ii) in the case of any other party, any individual who, in the
reasonable, good-faith agreement of the parties hereto, is no less
independent of such party than would be required of an Independent
Director under the rules of the NASD, Inc.; and for purposes of this
item (ii) the parties hereto shall from time to time agree upon a group
of Independent Representatives for each party to this agreement to which
this item (ii) is applicable, and a determination of the “Independent
Representatives” of such party shall mean the determination of a
majority of such Independent Representatives.



     3. Compensation.



     3.1 Compensation Factors.



     (a) The compensation to be paid in respect of all Provided Services to be performed under this
Agreement shall be based on any and all factors that the parties hereto shall in their reasonable,
good-faith discretion consider to be relevant and appropriate under the particular circumstances,
including without limitation the fair market value of the services performed and/or the value of
the benefit received by the party for whom the services were performed, the time required in
performing such services by the officers, employees or other personnel of the performing party and
the value of such time, calculated based on the overall compensation received by such person
(including salary and benefits, etc., paid or given to such person, but excluding any stock options
or other equity-based compensation that may be granted, awarded, issued or otherwise conferred upon
such person) and an amount attributable to “overhead” to account for the additional resources, such
as rent, utilities and similar costs, associated with the performance of the Provided Services by
each party hereunder and reasonably allocable for this purpose based on common cost accounting
practices.



     (b) Each party shall require its officers, employees and other personnel who perform Provided
Services hereunder to maintain records of the time allocated (including a description of the
services rendered during such time) to each project and in connection with any ongoing services.



     (c) Prior to the date of this Agreement, the parties hereto may have performed certain of the
services contemplated hereunder. Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each
party shall deliver to the other parties a description of all such services previously performed,
and the parties shall in good faith determine and pay the net compensation due using the factors
described in this Section 3.1.



-5-









 





     3.2 Quarterly Determination of Net Payment.



     (a) On one or more mutually convenient days during the last 15 days of each October, January,
April and July, commencing January 2008, each of the parties hereto shall cause a duly authorized
representative (who need not be a Services Representative) to meet with the other party’s duly
authorized representative to (i) determine the net payment due from one party to the other for
Provided Services performed by the parties during the calendar quarter ended on the last day of the
preceding month, and (ii) prepare a report in reasonable detail with respect to the Provided
Services so performed, including the value of such services and the net payment due. At or prior
to such meetings, each party shall (if requested) furnish the other party with copies of
documentation of the time expended by its officers, employees or other personnel in performing
Provided Services during the preceding calendar quarter. The parties hereto shall, through such
meetings of their respective representatives, use their reasonable, good-faith efforts to determine
the net payments due in accordance with the factors described in Section 3.1(a) hereof.



     (b) The parties shall promptly present the report prepared pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof to
their respective Independent Representatives for their review as promptly as practicable. If the
Independent Representatives of either party raise questions or issues with respect to the report,
the parties shall cause their duly authorized representatives to meet promptly to address such
questions or issues in good faith and, if appropriate, prepare a revised report. If the report is
approved by the Independent Representatives of each party, then the net payment due as shown in the
report shall be promptly paid, but in any event not more than 30 days after approval by the
Independent Representatives; provided, however, that, the foregoing
notwithstanding, in the case of any net amounts that may be determined to be payable by FXREE, the
first payment by FXREE shall be made on the earlier to occur of the date of closing of the Rights
Offering (as hereinafter defined) and April 1, 2008. The “Rights Offering” shall have the
meaning provided such term in the Purchase Agreement (as defined in the recitals to this
Agreement).



     4. Confidentiality.



     (a) In the course of performance of the Provided Services hereunder, the parties will disclose
or deliver to each other Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined), and nothing in this
Agreement shall prohibit the possession by a party hereto of any such Confidential Information of
the other party or the use by such party of any such Confidential Information, in each case as may
be reasonably necessary in the performance by such party of the Provided Services contemplated
hereunder, subject in all events to all of the provisions set forth below in this Section 4. The
parties wish to assure that all Confidential Information is protected from unwanted disclosures.
Therefore, during the Term and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, the Receiving Party (as
hereinafter defined) shall, and shall cause all of its Representatives (as hereinafter defined) to,
keep the Confidential Information strictly confidential, not disclose any of the Confidential
Information to any person outside its organization, not exploit such Confidential Information for
its own benefit or the benefit of another, and only use the Confidential



-6-









 




Information as shall be strictly necessary in the performance of the Provided Services
hereunder, unless in each case the Protected Party (as hereinafter defined) gives its express,
prior written consent to the contrary.




     (b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall disclose Confidential
Information only to individuals within its organization (including legal, accounting, financial and
other professional advisers) only if such individuals have a need to know such Confidential
Information in the course of the performance of their duties and who are bound by a written
agreement or applicable codes of professional conduct to protect the confidentiality of such
Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall promptly report to the Protected Party any
actual or suspected violation of the terms of this Section 4 and will take all reasonable further
steps requested by the Protected Party to prevent, control or remedy any such violation. In
addition, the parties acknowledge that each of the other parties is or may be a public company.
Therefore, each party shall advise each of its employees, representatives and advisors that may be
involved in performing Provided Services hereunder that the federal and state securities laws
prohibit any person who has material, non-public information about a company from purchasing or
selling securities of such a company or from communicating such information to any other person
under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or
sell such securities.



     (c) The obligations of the Receiving Party under this Section 4 shall not apply to the extent
that such Confidential Information:




     (i) is generally known to the public at the time of disclosure or
becomes generally known without the Receiving Party violating this
Section 4;




     (ii) is in the Receiving Party’s possession at the time of
disclosure otherwise than as a result of Receiving Party’s breach of any
legal obligation;




     (iii) becomes known to the Receiving Party through disclosure by
sources other than the Protected Party having the legal right to
disclose such Confidential Information;




     (iv) is, and can be conclusively shown to have been, independently
developed by the Receiving Party without reference to or reliance upon
the Confidential Information; or




     (v) is required to be disclosed by the Receiving Party in order
for the Receiving Party to comply with applicable laws and regulations,
provided that the Receiving Party provides prior written notice of such
required disclosure to the Protected Party.



     (d) The Receiving Party shall not by virtue of this Agreement receive any right, title or
interest in, or any license or right to use, the Confidential Information of the



-7-









 




Protected Party or any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual
property rights therein, by implication or otherwise.




     (e) The Receiving Party shall, upon the termination of this Agreement or the request of the
Protected Party, deliver to the Protected Party all Confidential Information of the Protected Party
(and all copies and reproductions thereof). In addition, the Receiving Party shall destroy: (i)
any notes, reports or other documents prepared by the Receiving Party which contain Confidential
Information of the Protected Party; and (ii) any Confidential Information of the Protected Party
(and all copies and reproductions thereof) which is in electronic form or cannot otherwise be
returned to the Protected Party.



     (f) Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient
remedy to any Protected Party hereunder for any breach of this Section 4 by the Recipient Party,
and that the Protected Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and
specific performance, in the event of any breach of any of the provisions this confidentiality
agreement, without being required to post any bond or other security in connection with such
relief. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this
confidentiality agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or
equity.



     (g) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it engages in a similar business as the other
party; namely, the exploitation of certain intellectual property rights related to Elvis Presley
and Muhammad Ali which rights are owned by CKX indirectly through its subsidiaries Elvis Presley
Enterprises, Inc. and Muhammad Ali Enterprises LLC, respectively, and are licensed by such
subsidiaries for certain purposes to FXREE.



     (h) As used herein:




     (i) “Confidential Information” means all trade secrets or
confidential or proprietary information relating to a party (as used in
this Section 4, the “Protected Party”) that may be disclosed or
delivered to, received by or discovered by another party hereto (as used
in this Section 4, the “Receiving Party”). Without limitation,
the term “Confidential Information” shall include any notes, analyses,
compilations, studies, interpretations, memoranda or other documents
prepared by or on behalf of the Receiving Party that contain, reflect or
are based upon, in whole or in part, any Confidential Information
obtained by the Receiving Party.




     (ii) “Representative” means, with respect to any Person,
the directors, officers, partners, trustees, employees, Affiliates,
subsidiaries, agents, representatives, consultants, accountants,
financial advisors, experts, legal counsel, and other advisors to such
Person.

     5. Indemnification.



     5.1 Indemnification by the Party Receiving Services.



     (a) Each party receiving Provided Services hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) from
the other party shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless the party performing such services, and
such performing party’s employees (including without limitation each and every employee who
actually performs such services), shareholders, officers, directors, affiliates, and subsidiaries,
and their respective successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and
against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action and expenses of
any kind (collectively, “Losses”) arising from the performance of Provided Services for the
Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent any such Losses resulted solely
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party; provided,
however, that any indemnification hereunder shall be limited as provided in Section 5.3
hereof, including but not limited to Section 5.3(d) hereof. The indemnification obligations of
each Indemnifying Party under this Section 5.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.



     (b) If any claim shall be made or proceeding instituted (collectively, a “Claim”)
against any Indemnified Party for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (an “Indemnification
Notice”). The Indemnifying Party, within ten (10) days following receipt of the
Indemnification Notice, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to
represent the Indemnified Party. The approval of counsel by the Indemnified Party shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for and shall pay
the fees and disbursements of such counsel directly related to the Claim. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and
disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the
Indemnifying Party shall have failed to retain counsel as required herein, or (ii) counsel retained
by the Indemnifying Party is inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between
the Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in the Claim. The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and disbursements of more than one law firm
qualified to act as counsel for the Indemnified Parties in connection with a Claim.



-9-









 





     (c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for payment of any settlement of a Claim
without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent. The Indemnified Party also shall have the
right to consent in writing prior to settlement of a Claim involving the Indemnified Party, but
such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by the Indemnified Party.



     5.2 Indemnification by the Party Performing Services. Each party performing Provided
Services hereunder (the “Performing Party”) for the other party shall protect, indemnify
and hold harmless the other party from and against any and all Losses arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Performing Party or any of its officers, employees or other
representatives in the performance of Provided Services for the other party pursuant to this
Agreement; provided, however, that any indemnification hereunder shall be limited
as provided in Section 5.3 hereof, including but not limited to Section 5.3(d) hereof. The
indemnification obligations of the Performing Party under this Section 5.2 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement. All of the provisions of Section 5.1(b) hereof shall apply,
mutatis mutandis (with the Performing Party for purposes of this Section 5.2 deemed
to be equivalent to the Indemnifying Party under Section 5.1(b) for this purpose), to the
indemnifications obligations of the Performing Party under this Section 5.2.



     5.3 Certain Limitations.



     (a) In no event shall a party, or its employees, shareholders, officers, directors,
affiliates, and subsidiaries, and successors and assigns, be liable or responsible for any
inability, failure or delay to provide Provided Services hereunder resulting from the delay,
incompleteness or inaccuracy of records, data or information furnished by the requesting party or
any deficiency of assets transferred by the requesting party to the performing party.



     (b) In no event shall a party, or its employees, shareholders, officers, directors,
affiliates, and subsidiaries, and successors and assigns, be liable or responsible, whether in
contract, tort (including negligence), warranty, strict liability or any other legal theory for any
special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any nature (including without limitation
any lost profits) in connection with the Provided Services provided pursuant to this Agreement.



     (c) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no warranties, representations,
indemnities or guarantees with respect to the Provided Services to be performed hereunder are made
by either party, whether express or implied, or arising by law, custom or otherwise.



     (d) Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in any claim for indemnification hereunder, no
party shall be entitled to recover from any other party hereunder any amount in excess of the sum
of (i) the amount of insurance recoverable and ultimately recovered by the indemnifying party in
respect of the act, omission, fact, event or circumstances on which the claim for indemnification
was based and (ii) the amount, if any, actually paid (or deemed to be paid by virtue of any
quarterly determinations of net



-10-









 




payments) by the indemnified party to the indemnifying party in respect of the Provided
Services performed in connection with the act, omission, fact, event or circumstances on which the
claim for indemnification was based.




     5.4 Adequate Insurance.



     (a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party is furnishing
to the other party a certificate of insurance demonstrating that the furnishing party has one or
more policies, from reputable and solvent United States insurers, of liability, property, casualty
and or other insurance coverage with respect to its performance of the Provided Services hereunder.
Each party furnishing such a certificate of insurance hereby represents, warrants and covenants to
the other party that the furnishing party has in full force and effect all such insurance described
in such certificate of insurance, and shall at all time during the Term maintain such insurance in
full force and effect. Each party shall upon request of the other party from time to time promptly
deliver to the requesting party a certificate of insurance demonstrating its compliance with the
covenant set forth in the preceding sentence.



     (b) Each party hereto hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the other party hereto that
the party has examined the certificate of insurance furnished by the other party and that the
coverage, coverage amount limits, deductibles and other terms and conditions described in such
certificate of insurance appear to be adequate, reasonable and appropriate in connection with the
performance by the furnishing party of the Provided Services hereunder.
