ARTICLE V

TAX MATTERS

Section 5.1     Tax Benefits. If the Company recognizes a deduction for federal income tax purposes as a result of the vesting of the Shares or any distribution made with respect to the Shares, the Company shall make payments to the Stockholder as follows: in each taxable year in which such deduction results in actual federal or California income tax savings to the Company, the Company shall pay to the Stockholder the lower of (i) the amount of such actual income tax savings, including any actual tax savings resulting from payments to the Stockholder under this Section 5.1 and (ii) the quotient of (x) the excess of (a) federal and California income taxes payable by Stockholder as a result of such vesting or distribution over (b) the federal and California income taxes payable by the Stockholder if all income recognized by Stockholder as a 

-5-

result of such vesting or distribution were taxed as long-term capital gains (or dividends in the case of distributions with respect to the Shares) divided by (y) one minus the combined maximum effective federal and California individual income tax rate applicable to compensation income, all based on the rules and rates then in effect. For purposes of computation, such deduction recognized by the Company shall be deemed to result in tax savings only after all other losses, deductions, exclusions and credits have been applied in full against taxable income or tax liability of the Company. This computation shall be performed only for the year in which the deduction is recognized and the two prior and the next four tax years if by reason of a loss carryback or carryforward the tax savings are recognized in one of those specified years, but only if such carryback or carryforward results in actual federal or California income tax savings to the Company after all other losses, deductions, exclusions and credits have been applied in full against taxable income or tax liability of the Company. Any such payments to be made to the Stockholder shall be treated as wages subject to applicable employment and withholding taxes. If the Stockholder receives a payment from the Company pursuant to this Section 5.1 and subsequently the Company for any reason becomes entitled, whether by carryback or otherwise, to other deductions or credits for the year in which the deduction relating to the Shares gave rise to tax savings to the Company , the Stockholder shall reimburse the Company if and to the extent that counting such other deductions and credits for such year, the Stockholder would not have been entitled to payments under this Section 5.1. If a federal or California tax authority subsequently disallows such deduction taken by the Company for any reason, Stockholder shall reimburse the Company for any prior payments made to the Stockholder. If, after the date hereof, the Company becomes a member of a group of affiliated companies filing a consolidated return for federal income tax purposes or a combined or unitary return for state income tax purposes, the calculations in this Section 5.1 shall be made for the Company and its subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis (i.e., as if the Company and its subsidiaries were not members of such group). All calculations under this Section 5.1 shall be performed by an accounting firm selected jointly by the Stockholder and the members of the Company board of directors who are independent of the Stockholder (“Independent Directors”), which such accounting firm may not be the regular tax preparer for the Company. The accounting firm shall prepare such calculations in accordance with this Section 5.1 and shall provide a reasonably detailed written explanation to the Stockholder and the Independent Directors. The accounting firm shall provide the Stockholder and the Independent Directors with the opportunity to ask questions and provide comments and suggestions, which the accounting film shall accept or reject in its professional judgment. It is understood that the accounting firm shall be responsible solely for the calculation hereunder, and shall not be permitted to challenge any tax position of the Company (including the propriety of any deduction) taken on any return. The accounting firm shall promptly finalize its calculations, which final calculations shall be binding on the Company and the Stockholder. The Stockholder and the Company shall act in good faith and cooperate fully to effect the purposes of the foregoing provisions. 

Section 5.2 Withholding Obligations. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Stockholder for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Shares, the Stockholder shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The Company shall have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Stockholder, including 

-6-

without limitation withholding from payroll or withholding from other amounts owing to the Stockholder pursuant to the exercise of the rights contained in Article IV of the Stockholders Agreement. The Company shall have the right to direct the purchaser of the Shares to pay a portion of the proceeds from any such sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Company’s withholding obligations, and the Company may refuse to record any such transfer until such withholding obligations are satisfied in full. Any such withheld amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Stockholder.

GOVERNANCE MATTERS

SECTION 2.1       Board of Directors

(a)       Each Stockholder agrees to cast all votes to which such holder is entitled in respect of such Stockholder’s Shares, whether at any annual or special meeting, by written consent or otherwise, to fix the number of members of the Board (each member of the Board, a “Director”) at seven (7) and to elect the designees identified below. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.1, the Board shall consist of:

            (i)       two (2) designees of the Azoff Trust (the “Azoff Trust Designees”);

            (ii)      two (2) designees of FLMG Holdings (the “FLMG Designees”);

            (iii)     two (2) designees of MMI and WMG Church (acting as a group) (the “MMI Designees”); and

            (iv)     one (1) designee of MSG (the “MSG Designee”).

(b)       Any Stockholder may transfer its right to designate one or more Directors to any Transferee in accordance with this Section 2.1(b), provided, in order for the transfer of such right of designation to be effective, such Transferee must have a Stockholder Percentage of at least 10% for each designee right so assigned (e.g., in order for a Transferee to have the ability to designate two directors, such Transferee must have a Stockholder Percentage of at least 20%); provided further that in the case of a transfer of such right of designation by MSG, (i) the Transfer of all of MSG’s Shares held as of the date hereof to any single Transferee shall be sufficient for such right of designation to be effective, even if it does not result in a Stockholder Percentage of at least 10% for such Transferee and (ii) such right of designation shall be subject to the Azoff Trust’s consent right set forth in Section 2.1(d); and provided further that FLMG Holdings may not transfer the right to designate a director to MMI and WMG Church (acting as a group) unless in connection with the transfer of Shares by FLMG Holdings to MMI, WMG Church or any of their Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)       Any Stockholder shall have the right to voluntarily relinquish the ability to designate Directors under this Agreement by delivery of written notice to the Company and the other Stockholders and thereafter such Stockholder shall cease to be entitled to

-10-

designate any Directors. To the extent any Stockholder shall cease to have the entitlement to designate one or more Directors, the size of the Board shall be deemed to automatically decrease accordingly, and the applicable Stockholder shall immediately remove one or more Directors designated by it, as applicable, in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.1(c) .

(d)       Any Director designated by a Stockholder may only be removed (with or without cause) by the Stockholder designating such Director; provided, that any Director may be removed for cause by the vote of Stockholders holding Voting Securities representing a majority of the votes outstanding. Each of the Stockholders agrees to cast all votes to which such holder is entitled in respect of the Shares, whether at any annual or special meeting, against any Director proposed to be removed by the Stockholder who has the right to designate such director. Any vacancy on the Board in respect of a Director designated by a Stockholder (whether or not such Director was removed for cause) may be filled by the Stockholder entitled to designate such Director, subject to this Section 2.1. In the event that a Stockholder is entitled to designate a Director pursuant to this Section 2.1 and has not yet done so, such Director seat shall remain vacant until such designation is made; provided, that such Stockholder shall make such designation as promptly as possible. MSG agrees that it shall initially designate James L. Dolan to serve as its Director, and if it ever designates any Person other than James L. Dolan to serve as its Director, such designation shall be subject to the Azoff Trust’s consent, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the Azoff Trust; provided, the consent of the Azoff Trust shall not be required if Hank J. Ratner or Jay Marciano is designated to become the MSG Designee. In the event that MSG Transfers its Shares pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(i), the Azoff Trust shall thereupon and thereafter have the sole and exclusive right, for all purposes under this Agreement, to designate the MSG Designee in accordance with this Section 2.1. If the Azoff Trust Transfers its Shares pursuant to the exercise of the FLMG/WMG Call, then concurrently with such Transfer, the Azoff Trust shall transfer its right to designate the Azoff Trust Designees to the Designated Purchaser in connection with such exercise, and such Designated Purchaser shall thereupon and thereafter have the sole and exclusive right, for all purposes under this Agreement, to designate the Azoff Designees in accordance with this Section 2.1.

(e)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Director, acting solely in its capacity as such, shall have the right, power or authority to act as an agent of the Company, to bind the Company or to execute any documents in the name of the Company unless expressly authorized in writing by the Board or a committee thereof.

(f)       The Company shall take such action as may be required under applicable law to cause the Board to consist of the number of Directors specified in Section 2.1(a) . The Company agrees to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board, the Azoff Trust Designees, the FLMG Designees, the MMI Designees and the MSG Designee pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the election of each such designee to the Board, including nominating such individuals to be elected as Directors as provided herein.

-11-

(g)       For the avoidance of doubt, MMI and WMG Church shall act jointly in designating the MMI Designees and for the purposes of Sections 2.1(b), (c) and (d), all references to the Stockholder that has the right to designate a Director shall mean MMI and WMG Church acting jointly.

The Company may take the following actions only upon the approval of the majority of the authorized number of (i) FLMG Designees and MMI Designees, acting together as a group, and (ii) Azoff Trust Designees and the MSG Designee, acting together as a group (but not necessarily unanimously), (even if a quorum otherwise exists) at a duly called meeting of the Board, subject to an approval by the holders of the majority of the Common Equivalent Shares where required by Law:

(d)       subject to Section 2.3(c), consummate any Acquisition or investment in any Person, or consummate any disposition of any Person or material property or assets;

(o)       take any other action, other than as set forth above, that is material to the business, cash flow or long term viability of the Company, taken as a whole.

SECTION 2.3       Officers.

(a)       The Company may have such officers (the “Officers”) as the Board in its discretion may appoint (or who may be appointed by the other Officers if specifically authorized to do so by the Board); provided, that the initial Officers shall include Azoff as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Officers and other key employees of the Company will be compensated in accordance with their respective employment agreements, if any, with the Company or any Subsidiary, or otherwise as determined by the Board or the Officers and, following execution of such agreements and subject to Section 2.2(c), the Board shall have the authority to negotiate and authorize amendments to any such agreements.

(b)       The Company and the Stockholders agree that Azoff, in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, shall have primary responsibility for the management of the operations and activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries in a manner consistent with this Agreement and the Azoff Employment Agreement.

-13-

SECTION 2.4       Certain Actions Adversely Affecting MSG. The Azoff Trust agrees, solely for the benefit of MSG, that without MSG’s prior written approval, the Azoff Trust shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and the Azoff Trust Designees not to, approve any action or series of related actions that (a) must be approved under Section 2.2 and (b) would, directly or indirectly, have a disproportionate, as compared to any other Stockholder, adverse effect on the rights of MSG or any Subsequent Stockholder of its Shares as a Stockholder or Subsequent Stockholder, as applicable, under this Agreement or under applicable Law. For purposes of clarification, this Section 2.4 shall not apply with respect to transfers of Shares among the Stockholders or their Permitted Transferees or any consents thereto.

the number of Shares to be transferred in the Transfer, (y) the consideration per share to be paid by the Proposed Transferees and (z) all other material terms and conditions of the Transfer (collectively, the “Transfer Terms”). MSG may elect, by delivering a written notice (an “Exercise Notice”) to the Azoff Trust within thirty (30) days after the date on which it received the Tag-Along Notice, to sell up to the Azoff Percentage of its Shares to the Proposed Transferees on the Transfer Terms. The Azoff Trust shall not, and Azoff Trust shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, Transfer any Shares to any Proposed Transferee unless the Proposed Transferee agrees to purchase from MSG on the Transfer Terms all of the Shares which MSG has elected to sell pursuant to the Exercise Notice (the actual number of such Shares, the “MSG Amount”). Alternatively, if the Proposed Transferee does not agree to purchase more than a number of Shares (such number, the “Purchase Limit”) that is less than the sum of the Azoff Amount and the MSG Amount, then each of the Azoff Trust and its Affiliates and MSG shall sell its pro rata share of the Purchase Limit to the Proposed Transferee. For purposes of this Section 3.4(b)(ii), the pro rata share of the Azoff Trust or any of its Affiliates or MSG shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares held by it, and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Shares held by the Azoff Trust and its Affiliates and MSG.

(c)       Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Shares purchased pursuant to this Section 3.4 (other than Section 3.4(b)(ii)) shall be the Selected Fair Value, determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4(e) as of the date of the most recent financial statements of the Company available at the time that notice of exercise is delivered.

(d)       Purchase and Sale of Shares.

            (i)       The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Section 3.4 (other than Section 3.4(b)(ii)) shall be consummated at a closing the date and time of which shall be selected by the Designated Purchaser, and provided in writing to (x) in the case of the MSG Put, MSG or (y) in all other cases, the Azoff Trust (such party, the “Put/Call Seller”), at least seven days prior thereto; provided, that except as set forth in this Section 3.4(d), such date shall not be later than the later to occur of the 30th day following (x) the date of receipt of the relevant exercise notice, and (y) the final determination of the Selected Fair Value in accordance with Section 3.4(e); provided, further, that if the approval of any governmental authority is imposed by or required under any legal requirement with respect to the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Shares under this Section 3.4, the closing shall be deferred to a date not later than the fifth Business Day following the date the last such approval shall have been obtained or occurred. At such closing, each purchaser shall cause to be paid to the Put/Call Seller the applicable purchase price (such price being referred to as the “Put/Call Purchase Price”) by check or checks or wire transfer of immediately available funds, against delivery by the Put/Call Seller of the certificates evidencing the Shares to be sold by such seller to such

-17-

purchaser, together with duly executed forms of assignment sufficient to transfer title thereto to such purchaser (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Designated Purchaser) assigning such Shares to such purchaser, free and clear of any Encumbrances.

            (ii)       Alternatively, in the case of FLMG Holdings, FLMG Holdings may in its discretion elect to pay all or a portion of the Put/Call Purchase Price payable by FLMG Holdings in freely transferable (either pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 or another suitable registration form for the issuance by IAC to the Put/Call Seller, or pursuant to a resale prospectus on Form S-3 or similar form) listed shares of IAC common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “IAC Common Stock”) with an IAC Common Stock fair market value equal to the Put/Call Purchase Price payable by FLMG Holdings (or, if applicable, the portion of the Put/Call Purchase Price payable by FLMG Holdings being paid with shares of IAC Common Stock). For purposes of this Agreement, the “IAC Common Stock fair market value” shall be equal, on the date of the closing, to the average of the last reported sales prices over the ten (10) trading day period ending on the day immediately prior to the date of the closing, during regular trading hours, of the IAC Common Stock on The NASDAQ National Market System (“NASDAQ”) (or, if the IAC Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the IAC Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading). In the event that any portion of the Put/Call Purchase Price payable by FLMG Holdings is paid in IAC Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3.4(d)(ii) and the Put/Call Seller’s ability to resell the shares of IAC Common Stock during the ten (10) day period following their delivery pursuant to this Section 3.4(d)(ii) would be limited or restricted in any fashion other than by actions of the Put/Call Seller, including as a result of any standstill agreement, blackout period, failure of IAC to be timely in its filings under applicable securities laws or regulations, restrictions imposed by IAC on sales pursuant to any registration statement, cessation of trading in the IAC Common Stock or generally, failure of IAC to retain the listing of IAC Common Stock on a national securities exchange, or any similar restriction, then the payment in question shall be in cash rather than in IAC Common Stock.

            (iii)       Alternatively, in the case of MMI and WMG Church, MMI and WMG Church may in their discretion elect to pay all or a portion of the Put/Call Purchase Price payable by MMI or WMG Church in freely transferable (either pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 or another suitable registration form for the issuance by WMG Parent to the Put/Call Seller, or pursuant to a resale prospectus on Form S-3 or similar form) listed shares of the common stock of WMG Parent, par value $0.001 per share (the “WMG Common Stock”) with a WMG Common Stock fair market value equal to the Put/Call Purchase Price payable by MMI or WMG Church (or, if applicable, the portion of the Put/Call Purchase Price payable by MMI or 

-18-

WMG Church being paid with shares of WMG Common Stock). For purposes of this Agreement, the “WMG Common Stock fair market value” shall be equal, on the date of the closing, to the average of the last reported sales prices over the ten (10) trading day period ending on the day immediately prior to the date of the closing, during regular trading hours, of the WMG Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on such exchange. In the event that any portion of the Put/Call Purchase Price payable by MMI or WMG Church is paid in WMG Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3.4(d)(iii) and the Put/Call Seller’s ability to resell the shares of WMG Common Stock during the ten (10) day period following their delivery pursuant to this Section 3.4(d)(iii) would be limited or restricted in any fashion other than by actions of the Put/Call Seller, including as a result of any standstill agreement, blackout period, failure of WMG Parent to be timely in its filings under applicable securities laws or regulations, restrictions imposed by WMG Parent on sales pursuant to any registration statement, cessation of trading in the WMG Common Stock or generally, failure of WMG Parent to retain the listing of WMG Common Stock on a national securities exchange, or any similar restriction, then the payment in question shall be in cash rather than in WMG Common Stock.

(e)       Determination of Selected Fair Value.

            (i)       In the event any party exercises its right to buy or sell the Shares under this Section 3.4 (other than Section 3.4(b)(ii)), the Designated Purchaser and the Put/Call Seller shall attempt to come to an agreement regarding the Fair Value of the Shares. If the Put/Call Seller and the Designated Purchaser agree on such Fair Value in writing, such value shall be the Selected Fair Value. If the Put/Call Seller and the Designated Purchaser have not agreed on the Fair Value within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the exercise notice, then each of the Put/Call Seller and the Designated Purchaser shall submit their determination of Fair Value of the Shares (the “Fair Value Notice”) to an independent third party (the “Agent”) reasonably agreeable to both parties by the fortieth (40th) day following the date the exercise notice was delivered. Each party’s Fair Value Notice shall contain the party’s determination of Fair Value and any additional materials expressing the reasoning and analysis supporting such determination.

            (ii)       After receipt of the Fair Value Notices, the Agent shall provide each party with the Fair Value Notice of the other party. If the parties’ determinations of Fair Value are within 10% of each other, then the Selected Fair Value shall be the average of the two determinations. In the event they are not, then within a fifteen (15) day period the Put/Call Seller and the Designated Purchaser shall jointly select an independent, nationally recognized valuation firm or investment bank (the “Baseball Arbitrator”) to resolve the dispute. In the event that both parties are not able to reasonably agree upon a Baseball Arbitrator, each party will designate an independent third party (each, a

-19-

“Representative”), and the Representatives will select an independent third party to serve as the Baseball Arbitrator. The Baseball Arbitrator will be provided each party’s Fair Value Notice and shall, within thirty (30) days, notify the parties of its selection of one of the two determinations of Fair Value, which Fair Value shall be chosen by the Baseball Arbitrator based on its determination that it more closely reflected the Fair Value (determined as set forth in the definition thereof) than the other original determination. This shall be the Selected Fair Value, which determination shall be final. One-half of the costs of the Baseball Arbitrator shall be borne by the Put/Call Seller and the other half shall be borne by the purchasers (which shall be allocated among them on a pro rata basis based on the number of the Shares to be purchased by them).

            (iii)       Any opinions on value that are not contained in a party’s Fair Value Notice (including opinions of members of management of the Company, valuations or analyses undertaken for the Company’s internal corporate purposes and valuations of other companies for internal corporate purposes) may be prejudicial to the process contemplated by this Section 3.4 if used by the Designated Purchaser or the Put/Call Seller, and shall not be presented to the Baseball Arbitrator and, if so presented, shall not be taken into account by the Baseball Arbitrator in determining Fair Value. Additionally, neither the Designated Purchaser nor the Put/Call Seller shall convey to the Baseball Arbitrator, either verbally or in the Fair Value Notice, any positions or views expressed by the other party during their previous negotiation of Fair Value.

            (iv)       For purposes of determining Fair Value pursuant to this Section 3.4, each of the parties shall be provided with relevant historical financial information for the Company and, to the extent available, the then-current twelve (12) month forecasts for the Company, but no party shall be furnished other forward looking information, due to the inherently speculative nature of such materials.

(f)       Obligations Accrue to Transferees.

            (i)       The rights and obligations of the Azoff Trust under this Section 3.4 shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, any Transferee of the Azoff Trust (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Permitted Transferees) on a ratable basis based on the Common Stock Equivalents held by the Azoff Trust and its Transferees.

            (ii)       The rights and obligations of FLMG Holdings, MMI and WMG Church or MSG, as applicable, under this Section 3.4 may, at its election, be transferred to any of its Transferees and if so Transferred, shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, FLMG Holdings, MMI and WMG Church or MSG, as applicable, and its Transferees on a ratable basis based on the Common Stock Equivalents held by them. For avoidance of doubt, in any such circumstance, a Transferee whose shares are publicly listed on a national

-20-

securities exchange or NASDAQ also shall have the ability to pay all or a portion of the Put/Call Purchase Price payable by such party in shares of such party’s stock, and the provisions of Sections 3.4(d)(ii) and (iii) shall apply mutatis mutandis.

(g)       Appointment of Representative.

            (i)       Following any Transfer of Shares (including any Transfer by the Azoff Trust to a Permitted Transferee), in the event multiple parties are selling Shares pursuant to the FLMG/WMG Call, the Azoff Put or the MSG Put, the party with the greatest number of Shares, in the aggregate, subject to the FLMG/WMG Call, the Azoff Put or the MSG Put, as applicable, shall control the valuation process for the selling stockholders, and if there are multiple purchasers, the Designated Purchaser shall control the valuation process for the purchasing stockholders. In the event two or more parties are selling, or two or more parties are required to purchase, an equal number of Shares pursuant to the Azoff Put, the FLMG/WMG Call or the MSG Put, as the case may be, then such parties shall mutually agree on a single representative to represent the selling stockholders or purchasing stockholders (as the case may be) in the valuation process.

            (ii)       The representative appointed by the selling Stockholders under clause (i) of this Section 3.4(g) and the Designated Purchaser shall be responsible for, on behalf of the Stockholders it is representing, establishing Fair Value, delivering required notices, negotiating with the selling stockholders or purchasers (as the case may be), selecting the Baseball Arbitrator and all other relevant matters.

(h)       Termination. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall terminate upon an initial Public Offering.

SECTION 3.5       Subsequent Stockholders.

(a)       As long as this Agreement remains in effect, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Stockholder shall have the right to Transfer its Shares to a Transferee unless (i) such Transfer is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the Transferee executes and delivers to the Company a signature page counterpart to this Agreement and an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission in the Company’s reasonable judgment) (such transferee is referred to herein as “Subsequent Stockholder”).

(b)       A Transferee who has qualified as a Subsequent Stockholder in accordance with this Section 3.5 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Stockholder under this Agreement holding the same class of Shares; provided, that such Subsequent Stockholder shall not have any rights of a

-21-

Stockholder, except to the extent rights are assigned to such Subsequent Stockholder as permitted by this Agreement.

(c)       A Transfer of a Stockholder’s Shares shall become effective on the date such Person’s name is recorded on the books and records of the Company. Upon such Transfer, (i) the Company shall amend Schedule A to reflect the name and address of, and number and class of Shares held by, such Subsequent Stockholder and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such Subsequent Stockholder (such revisions to be presented to the Board no later than at the next regular meeting of the Board) and (ii) to the extent of the Transfer to such Subsequent Stockholder, the Stockholder shall be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement.

With effect from December 7, 2007, IAC hereby irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment of all sums, and the punctual performance of all obligations, by FLMG Holdings hereunder (the “IAC Guaranty”); provided, that, in connection with a Transfer of IAC’s Shares permitted by this Agreement, this IAC Guaranty may be transferred and assigned by IAC to the ultimate parent company of any such transferee without the consent of any of the Stockholders or the Company. This IAC Guaranty is an absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and may be proceeded on against IAC (or its permitted transferee under this Section 6.16) before taking any action against FLMG Holdings or after any action against FLMG Holdings has been commenced.
