Gentlemen:

Reference is made to each of (i) the US/Canada Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement dated as of July 1, 2010 (the “US Agreement”) between (a) Warner-Elelctra-Atlantic Corporation (“WEA”), on the one hand and (b) Cinram International Inc. (“CII”), Cinram Manufacturing LLC and Cinram Distribution LLC, on the other hand; and (ii) the International Manufacturing and PP&S Agreement dated as of July 1, 2010 (the “International Agreement”) between (a) WEA International Inc. (“WMI”), on the one hand and (b) CII, Cinram GmbH and Cinram Operations UK Limited, on the other hand, as each was amended by the letters dated January 14, 2011 and January 21, 2011. Any terms which are used below and which are defined in the US Agreement or the International Agreement shall have the same meanings and definitions as set forth therein, unless otherwise indicated. This letter, when signed by each of the parties shall constitute an agreement to further modify each of the US Agreement and International Agreement as hereinafter provided, effective as of the date hereof.

1. Section 5(b)(vi) of the US Agreement is hereby amended to replace “January 26, 2011” therein with “April 15, 2011” in each place such date appears; and

2. Section 3(b)(vi) of the International Agreement is hereby amended to replace “January 26, 2011” therein with “April 15, 2011” in each place such date appears.

3. Section 5(b) of the US Agreement and Section 3(b) of the International Agreement are each hereby amended to add the following Termination Events (in addition to subparagraphs (i) through (xiii)):

“(xiv) **;

 

1


(xv) **;

(xvi) **; or

(xvii) **”

4.**

5.**

6. Section 12(d)(iii)(D) of Exhibit A to the US Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety ab initio.

7. Section 12(d)(iii)(D) of Exhibit A to the International Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety ab initio.

8. For the avoidance of any doubt, Cinram acknowledges that any changes to or decrease in the number of retail customers that WEA sells to directly (i.e. on WEA’s behalf, that Cinram directly ships Products to and accepts returns from) and/or any changes to or increase in the number of retail customers that are serviced by so called “One-Stops” or sub-distributors (e.g., Super D or AEC) would in no way violate any terms of the US Agreement or International Agreement, including without limitation Section 1 of Exhibit B to the US Agreement.

9. Except as expressly modified in this amendment, all other terms and conditions of the US Agreement and the International Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed and will remain in full force and effect.
