 Exhibit 10.2 
 CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY ASTERISKS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED. 
 US/CANADA TRANSITION AGREEMENT

 This US/CANADA TRANSITION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), executed as of July 1, 2010 (the
“Execution Date”), is entered into by and between, on one hand, Warner-Elektra-Atlantic Corporation, a New York corporation with its principal place of business at 75 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10019 (“WEA”),
and on the other hand, Cinram International Inc., a Canadian corporation with its principal place of business at 2255 Markham Road, Scarborough, Ontario M1B 2W3, Canada (“Cinram International Inc.”), Cinram Manufacturing LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business at 1400 East Lackawanna Avenue, Olyphant, PA 18448 (“Cinram Manufacturing LLC”), and Cinram Distribution LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its
principal place of business at 948 Meridian Lake Drive, Aurora, IL 60504 (“Cinram Distribution LLC”) (Cinram International Inc., Cinram Manufacturing LLC, and Cinram Distribution LLC, individually and collectively,
“Cinram”). Each capitalized term used in this Agreement but not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in that certain US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement entered into on July 1, 2010 between and among
the parties to this Agreement (the “US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement”), including, without limitation, Exhibit A (M&P Terms) and Exhibit B (PP&S Terms) thereto. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall have no force or effect (and, other than this introductory paragraph, shall not bind the parties hereto) until the date on which the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement expires or is terminated
for any reason (such date of expiration or termination, the “Transition Date”), on which date this Agreement shall automatically, and without the requirement of any notice or action of any kind, become effective and bind the parties
hereto. 
 WHEREAS, Cinram acknowledges that any interruption in WEA’s receipt of services under the US/Canada
Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement following expiration or termination of such agreement would significantly disrupt the business activities of WEA, its Affiliates, and their respective customers; and 

WHEREAS, Cinram wishes to enable WEA to continue to receive the full benefit of such services following any such expiration or
termination, for a period of time sufficient to ensure continuity of such services and to enable WEA to transition the performance of such services to alternate service providers. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, WEA and Cinram hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Transition. 

(a) Performance of Manufacturing and Distribution Services. Throughout the Transition Services Period, Cinram shall provide, at
WEA’s request, those Manufacturing and Distribution Services requested by WEA. Such Manufacturing and Distribution Services: (i) shall be provided on a non-exclusive basis (for purposes of clarity, WEA shall be permitted to use third-party
vendors to provide the Manufacturing and Distribution Services for any or all of the total volume of Products); (ii) shall be provided (A) for the first ** (or portion thereof) of the Transition Services Period, at the same fees applicable
under the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement as of the Transition Date (provided that Section 12(f) of Exhibit A (M&P Terms) to the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement shall not apply to fees incurred by WEA
during such ** (or shorter) period, except to the extent that any 

  
 1 








 
fees payable under the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement had been or should have been adjusted pursuant to such Section 12(f) prior to the Transition Date), and
(B) thereafter, at fees mutually agreed upon by the parties; and (iii) shall be provided subject to the Service Level Requirements set forth in the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement as of the Transition Date. Either prior to
or as soon as practicable after the Transition Date, Cinram and WEA shall establish a mutually agreeable prospective monthly limit on the volume of units with respect to which WEA may require Cinram to provide Manufacturing and Distribution Services
under this Agreement taking into account WEA’s forecasts for using Cinram for such services during the Transition Services Period; provided that in no event shall such volume limit be less than ** of the monthly average volume of units for
which Cinram provided M&P Services to WEA and its Affiliates during the ** period immediately preceding the Transition Date. Cinram will perform the Manufacturing and Distribution Services with at least the same degree of accuracy, quality,
completeness, timeliness, responsiveness, and resource efficiency at which, and pursuant to the same WEA policies, rules and procedures pursuant to which, it was required to provide the same or similar services under the US/Canada Manufacturing and
PP&S Agreement. Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1(a) shall be invoiced and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement applicable to the services provided. 

(b) Transition Services. Throughout the Transition Services Period, Cinram shall cooperate with and take all commercially
reasonable actions to assist WEA and its designees in WEA’s and its Affiliates’ transition to one or more new distributor(s) and/or manufacturer(s), which shall include without limitation: (i) assistance from experienced Cinram
personnel with specific knowledge of WEA and the Manufacturing and Distribution Services; and (ii) the provision to WEA and its designees with any information and documentation reasonably requested by WEA to enable the Manufacturing and
Distribution Services to be transitioned smoothly to WEA’s designees (the foregoing services, collectively, the “Transition Services”). Those reasonable, documented out-of-pocket third-party expenses actually incurred by Cinram
directly for Transition Services that are provided: (A) during the initial ** of the Transition Services Period, shall be borne solely by Cinram; (B) between the end of such ** period and the date that is ** after the Transition Date,
shall be charged to WEA at Cinram’s actual cost therefor; and (C) following such ** period, shall be charged to WEA at Cinram’s actual cost therefor plus ** of such cost; provided that with respect to each of foregoing
subsections (A), (B) and (C), (I) in no event shall WEA be required to make any such payment prior to Cinram’s payment of its own corresponding invoices to such third parties, and (II) any such expenses incurred by
Cinram that are identified in Schedule C to Exhibit A (M&P Terms) or Schedule D to Exhibit B (PP&S Terms) to the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement shall instead be charged to WEA at the
rates and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such Schedule to such Exhibit. Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1(b) shall be invoiced and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the US/Canada Manufacturing and
PP&S Agreement. 
 (c) Transfer of WEA Assets. Upon WEA’s request, to the extent not previously transferred to
WEA, Cinram shall transfer all property of WEA (including without limitation physical finished goods, Inventory, Source Materials, BOMs, DDPs, 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 additional services shall be subject to the mutual agreement of WEA and Cinram. Cinram shall provide no fewer than **, per shipping facility, 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 

  
 2 








 
such WEA property. In lieu of the rates, if any, applicable to such transfers as set forth in Schedule C to Exhibit A (M&P Terms) and Schedule D to Exhibit B
(PP&S Terms) to the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement: (i) if WEA terminated the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement due to Cinram’s breach thereof or the occurrence of a Termination Event, then Cinram shall
charge WEA for such transfers an amount equal to Cinram’s actual, documented, out-of-pocket third-party expenses incurred for such transfers plus ** of such expenses; or (ii) if the Term of the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S
Agreement expired for any other reason, then Cinram shall charge WEA for such transfers an amount equal to ** of the rates applicable to such transfers as set forth in Schedule C to Exhibit A (M&P Terms) and Schedule D
to Exhibit B (PP&S Terms) to the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement; and if the case of either of foregoing subsections (i) and (ii), WEA shall reimburse Cinram for Cinram’s actual costs for any unreturned pallets in
respect of such transfers and WEA shall be responsible for all actual, documented, out-of-pocket third-party freight expenses incurred for the transfer of such materials (but in no event shall WEA be required to make any such payment prior to
Cinram’s payment of its own corresponding invoices to such third parties). 
 (d) Transition Plan and Transition
Manager. Within fifteen (15) business days after the commencement of the Transition Services Period, Cinram will provide WEA with a complete plan for operational turnover that enables a smooth transition of the Manufacturing and
Distribution Services to WEA’s designee(s) (“Transition Plan”). The Transition Plan will be deemed confidential information of WEA. Cinram shall assign, subject to WEA’s prior written approval, a Cinram employee who serves
a senior role (e.g., senior manager) in Cinram’s organization to manage and oversee the performance of the Manufacturing and Distribution Services and Transition Services throughout the Transition Services Period (“Transition
Manager”). WEA shall have the right to require Cinram to replace the Transition Manager if WEA believes that such individual is unsuitable for the position. The Transition Manager will be WEA’s primary point of contact in connection
with performance of the Manufacturing and Distribution Services and Transition Services hereunder. Cinram shall cause any such Transition Manager to be generally available to WEA during regular business hours in relation to all issues relevant to
the performance of the Manufacturing and Distribution Services and Transition Services hereunder. 
 (e) List of
Materials. Within ten (10) days after the commencement of the Transition Services Period, Cinram will provide WEA with a list of all Source Materials and units of Components and Products (as applicable) then in Cinram’s or any other
member of the Cinram Group’s possession or control. 
 (f) Facilities. In support of WEA’s receipt of the
Manufacturing and Distribution Services and Transition Services, throughout the Transition Services Period, Cinram shall provide WEA and its designees with reasonable access to those facilities of Cinram and Cinram’s subcontractors at which any
WEA property is located or at which Transition Services are being or will be provided during the Transition Period. 
 (g)
Retailers. At WEA’s request, Cinram will assist WEA as reasonably necessary in notifying retailers to which Products are being or had been distributed under this Agreement or the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement, to send
any Product returns to one or more new distributor(s) designated by WEA. 
 (h) Insurance. Throughout the Transition
Services Period, Cinram shall maintain the same types and amounts of insurance coverage that Cinram was required to maintain under the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement, as set forth on Schedule F to Exhibit A
(M&P Terms) and Schedule C to Exhibit B (PP&S Terms) to the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement. Upon Cinram’s request, Cinram and WEA shall discuss in good faith reducing the limits of liability for loss
of WEA property held by Cinram during the Transition Period.

 2. Performance of Services; Subcontracting. Cinram may not subcontract or delegate this Agreement or
its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other member of the Cinram Group or any third party without WEA’s prior written consent, which WEA may grant or withhold in its sole discretion, and any such subcontracting or delegation
shall not relieve Cinram of its obligations hereunder. If WEA grants such consent with respect to a particular member of the Cinram Group or third party, such Cinram Group member or third party shall be deemed to be an “Approved
Subcontractor” for purposes of this Agreement. Each entity set forth in Schedule D (Approved Subcontractors) to Exhibit A (M&P Terms) to the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement shall be deemed to be an Approved
Subcontractor for purposes of this Agreement, solely with respect to performance of the specific M&P Services identified in such Schedule D (Approved Subcontractors) for such entity. Cinram shall cause each Approved Subcontractor to abide by the
terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to Cinram (regardless of whether such Approved 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 Approved Subcontractor takes any action or omits to take any action that would be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement if such action or omission were or were not
taken by Cinram, then: (a) Cinram shall immediately notify WEA thereof; (b) upon notice to Cinram from WEA, Cinram shall immediately cease providing any Materials or other WEA property to such subcontractor and permitting such
subcontractor to perform Cinram’s obligations hereunder, and such entity shall cease to be an Approved Subcontractor for purposes of this Agreement; and (c) Cinram shall be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement as if such action or
omission were or were not taken by Cinram. 
 3. Warranties, Representations, Covenants and Indemnities. 

(a) Cinram warrants, represents and/or covenants, as the case may be, that: (i) Cinram has the right, power and authority to enter
into and fully perform this Agreement and to legally bind those entities on behalf of which it is entering into this Agreement; (ii) no agreement of any kind heretofore entered into by Cinram shall interfere in any manner with the complete
performance of this Agreement; (iii) subject to WEA’s warranties and representations set forth below, any items prepared by or otherwise furnished by Cinram hereunder in connection with Components or Products (and the manufacture, sale,
offer for sale, import, and export, and use thereof) and Cinram’s performance of Manufacturing and Distribution Services and Transition Services hereunder will not violate any law or infringe upon the rights of any party; and (iv) no
Inventory, Products, Components or Source Materials are or shall be subject to any security interest, lien, claim, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance (excluding any security interests held or otherwise placed by WEA in
or on such materials). 
 (b) Cinram agrees to and does hereby indemnify, save and hold WEA and its Affiliates, and each of
their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, for the purposes of this Section 3(b) only, “WEA”) harmless to the maximum extent permitted by law from any and all loss and damage (including court costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees as and when incurred) arising out of, connected with or as a result of: (i) any inaccuracy, inconsistency with, failure of, or breach or threatened breach by Cinram, any other member of the Cinram Group, or any
Approved Subcontractor or other subcontractor of any of the foregoing, of any warranty, representation, agreement, undertaking or covenant contained in this Agreement; and/or (ii) any and all damages or injuries of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including death resulting therefrom) to any persons, whether employees of Cinram or otherwise, and to any property caused by, resulting from, arising out of or occurring in connection with the execution of the work under this Agreement (including
as a result of any product liability claims), whether such damages or injuries are or are alleged to be based upon Cinram’s active or passive negligence or participation in the wrong or upon any breach of any statutory duty or obligation on the
part of Cinram (except to the extent such damages or injuries directly result from any act of WEA’s employees located at Cinram’s facilities and are not otherwise covered by the property insurance Cinram


  
 4 








 
is required to maintain hereunder or under the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement, or result from a breach of any warranty, representation, agreement, undertaking or covenant of WEA
contained herein). The foregoing indemnity shall be applicable only to such claims as have been reduced to judgment or settled with Cinram’s written approval. WEA shall give Cinram prompt notice of any claim to which the foregoing indemnity
applies and Cinram shall assume the defense of any such claim through counsel of Cinram’s choice and at Cinram’s sole expense. WEA shall have the right to participate in such defense through counsel of WEA’s choice and at WEA’s
expense. 
 (c) WEA warrants, represents and/or covenants, as the case may be, that: (i) WEA has the right, power and
authority to enter into and fully perform this Agreement and to legally bind those entities on behalf of which it is entering into this Agreement; (ii) no agreement of any kind heretofore entered into by WEA shall interfere in any manner with
the complete performance of this Agreement; and (iii) Material embodied in Products and Components as supplied by WEA shall not violate any law or infringe upon the rights of any third party. As used herein, “Material” shall
include all musical compositions, names, biographical materials and likenesses, photographic, video or motion picture images, sound recordings, intellectual properties, packaging and artwork. 

(d) WEA agrees to and does hereby indemnify, save and hold Cinram and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors
and employees (collectively, for the purposes of this Section 3(d) only, “Cinram”) harmless to the maximum extent permitted by law from any and all loss and damage (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees
as and when incurred) arising out of, connected with or as a result of: (i) any inaccuracy, inconsistency with, failure of, or breach or threatened breach by WEA of any warranty, representation, agreement, undertaking or covenant contained in
this Agreement; and/or (ii) any and all damages or injuries of any kind or nature whatsoever (including death resulting therefrom) to any persons, whether employees of Cinram or otherwise, and to any property caused by, resulting from, arising
out of or occurring in connection with any act of WEA’s employees located at Cinram’s facilities, except to the extent such damages and injuries are covered by the property insurance Cinram is required to maintain hereunder or under the
US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement; and/or (iii) any products liability claims arising the M&P Services for manufacturing defects directly related to Products not manufactured by Cinram, any Affiliate of Cinram or on behalf of
Cinram. The foregoing indemnity shall be applicable only to such claims as have been reduced to judgment or settled with WEA’s written approval. Cinram shall give WEA prompt notice of any claim to which the foregoing indemnity applies and WEA
shall assume the defense of any such claim through counsel of WEA’s choice and at WEA’s sole expense. Cinram shall have the right to participate in such defense through counsel of Cinram’s choice and at Cinram’s expense.

 4. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Transition Date and shall expire upon the expiration of the Transition
Services Period (the “Term”). The following sections of this Agreement shall survive any expiration or termination of the Term: Sections 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 (in accordance with its terms), and 9; this Section 4; and any
provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive expiration or termination of the Term. The mere expiration or termination of the Term shall not affect any obligation that is expressly provided herein to survive the
expiration or termination of such Term. Within ** months following expiration or ** months following early termination of the Term, WEA shall, in its sole discretion, remove from the Facilities, or order at WEA’s expense the destruction of (and
Cinram shall destroy in accordance with WEA’s instructions and promptly provide WEA with an officer’s certificate that confirms such destruction), all units of Source Materials, Components, and Products governed by this Agreement in
Cinram’s possession or control. 
 5. Motion to Assume or Reject. In the event a bankruptcy or insolvency case is commenced by or
against Cinram, Cinram shall decide whether to (a) assume or (b) reject, disclaim or resiliate this entire Agreement, and shall either notify WEA of its decision or, to the extent required by law, file a motion to


  
 5 








 
obtain court approval of its decision, in each case within ** days of the entry of the order for relief in such case, which motion and court order approving same shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to WEA. Cinram shall diligently prosecute any such motion. 
 6. Equitable Relief. The parties acknowledge and
agree that: (a) WEA’s rights to exercise and enforce the rights, restrictions, limitations and qualifications imposed in Sections 1, 5, 7 and 9(c) of this Agreement are of a special, unique, extraordinary and intellectual character, giving
them a peculiar value the loss of which by WEA (i) cannot be readily estimated, or adequately compensated for, in monetary damages and (ii) would cause WEA substantial and irreparable harm for which it would not have an adequate remedy at
law, and (B) 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 this Agreement and protect its rights hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies of WEA and Cinram provided under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights
and remedies of the parties at law or equity. 
 7. Confidentiality. 

(a) Each of Cinram and WEA shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents (each, a “Recipient”) to, maintain in confidence the material terms of this Agreement, except that WEA may disclose this Agreement on a confidential basis in connection with a potential Recorded Music Major Transaction, to a
potential assignee permitted hereunder or to WEA Affiliates as may be necessary in the 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 7);
and Cinram may disclose this Agreement on a confidential basis to its lenders under the Long-Term Debt or to Cinram Affiliates as may be necessary in the 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 7). The restriction in the preceding sentence shall not apply to information that: (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such
Recipient contrary to this Agreement; (ii) was available to such Recipient on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such Recipient; (iii) becomes available to such Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other
than any other Recipient unless such Recipient knows that such source is bound by a confidentiality agreement or is otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to such Recipient by a contractual obligation; (iv) is independently
developed by such Recipient without reference to confidential information received from any other party; (v) is required to be disclosed by applicable law or legal process, provided that any Recipient disclosing pursuant to this clause
(v) shall notify the other party at least five (5) days prior to such disclosure so as to allow such other party an opportunity to protect such information through protective order or otherwise; (vi) is required to be disclosed by any
listing agreement with, or the rules or regulations of, any security exchange on which securities of such Recipient or any of its Affiliates are listed or traded; or (vii) is required to be disclosed by a party in order to perform its
obligations under the Agreement; provided, that any such disclosure shall be limited to those persons who have a need to know such information and who agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 7. No party hereto shall make a press
release or public announcement concerning this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. 
 (b)
Cinram shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents to, maintain in confidence all information that: (i) is in its or their possession by reason of Cinram’s performance
of Manufacturing and Distribution Services or Transition Services hereunder; and (ii) relates to the Products (including, without limitation, shipment and return volumes, shipping destinations, pricing information and other terms of sale). WEA
shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, and its and its’ Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents to, maintain in confidence 

  
 6 








 
all information that: (x) is in its or their possession by reason of Cinram’s performance of Manufacturing and Distribution Services or Transition Services hereunder; and
(y) relates to the pricing, methods of manufacture or distribution or other proprietary information of Cinram. The restrictions in the two preceding sentences shall not apply to information that: (A) becomes generally available to the
public other than as a result of disclosure by such Recipient contrary to this Agreement; (B) was available to such Recipient on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such Recipient; (C) becomes available to such Recipient on
a non-confidential basis from a source other than any other Recipient unless such Recipient knows that such source is bound by a confidentiality agreement or is otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to such Recipient by a
contractual obligation; (D) is independently developed by such Recipient without reference to confidential information received from any other party; (E) is required to be disclosed by applicable law or legal process, provided that any
Recipient disclosing pursuant to this clause (E) shall notify the other party at least five (5) days prior to such disclosure so as to allow such other party an opportunity to protect such information through protective order or otherwise;
or (F) is required to be disclosed by any listing agreement with, or the rules or regulations of, any security exchange on which securities of such Recipient or any of its Affiliates are listed or traded. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary above, WEA and its Affiliates shall be permitted to disclose any information on a confidential basis in connection with a potential Recorded Music Major Transaction, to a potential assignee permitted hereunder or to third parties and WEA
Affiliates as may be necessary in the 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 7). 

(c) Promptly following any expiration or termination of the Term, Cinram will, in accordance with WEA’s instructions, return to WEA
all materials in any medium that comprise, contain, refer to, or relate to any confidential or proprietary information of WEA (including without limitation the information described in the first sentence of Section 7(b) above) and otherwise
destroy all copies thereof that remain in Cinram’s possession or control. Upon request, Cinram will provide WEA with an officer’s certificate that confirms Cinram’s compliance with this Section 7(c). 

(d) The obligations of WEA and Cinram under Sections 7(a) and 7(b) above shall survive for three (3) years following the
expiration or termination of the Term. 
 8. 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 with respect to any services 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 8, 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) or Section 14 of Exhibit B (PP&S Terms) with respect to any occurrences during the pendency of such suspension; provided that 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 8(a). 
 (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, (i) such notice shall not 

  
 7 








 
constitute an assertion by Cinram of its right to suspend its obligations hereunder and (ii) an Insolvency Event shall not, in itself, be deemed to constitute a Force Majeure Event.

 9. 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 that after the Transition Date, Cinram shall be permitted to assign this Agreement to any member of the Cinram
Group (provided that Cinram shall notify WEA in advance of such assignment, and that notwithstanding such assignment, Cinram at all times shall remain directly and fully liable to WEA for the performance of the obligations of Cinram 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) Disposition of Assets. Cinram 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 Cinram’s facilities or assets used in providing Manufacturing and Distribution Services (including without limitation Cinram’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 or assets, then Cinram 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 Cinram’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 Cinram’s satisfaction of any Service Level Requirements. 

(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
