SECTION 4.02. Initial Capital Contributions. iv) In return for 650 Class A Units of the Company, initially representing 65% of the issued and outstanding Membership Units, Start Media has contributed to the Company $11,000,000 in cash, such contribution having been unanimously agreed to be good and valuable consideration for Start Media’s Class A Units by the Board of Managers and all Members.

SECTION 4.03. Membership Units. All Membership Units shall have identical rights in all respects as all other Membership Units except as otherwise specified in this Agreement.

SECTION 4.05. Budget. v) The Board of Managers has prepared and agreed upon a consolidated operating budget for the Company and the Company Subsidiaries through the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2013 (the “Interim Budget”), which is based upon the actual results of operations of the Company Theaters as set forth in the financial statements for such Company Theaters for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, prepared in accordance with GAAP and reviewed by EisnerAmper and provided to the Board of Managers. The Interim Budget is attached hereto as Schedule 4.05. Beginning for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2014, and for each subsequent Fiscal Year, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of such Fiscal Year, Digiplex shall prepare and submit to the Board of Managers for approval, a consolidated operating budget for the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year (each, a “Subsequent Budget”). Each Subsequent Budget shall be in a form substantially similar to the Interim Budget. The Interim Budget and any Subsequent Budget are referred to as an “Approved Budget.” If the Board of Managers cannot agree on a Subsequent Budget for the Company with respect to any Fiscal Year, the Members shall fund each category of operating expenses of the Company in an amount that is equal to the amount of such category of operating expenses set forth in the previous Approved Budget or the Interim Budget, as the case may be, increased by five percent (5%).

(b) At the conclusion of the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2014, and at the conclusion of each Fiscal Year thereafter, the actual results of the operations of the Company Theaters shall be compared to the budgeted results for such Company Theaters that were contained in the Approved Budget for such Fiscal Year. If, and only if, it is determined at the conclusion of any such Fiscal Year that the TLCF for the Company Theaters for such Fiscal Year was less than 90% of the TLCF set forth in the Approved Budget for such Fiscal Year (the “Shortfall”), then the Board of Managers shall meet to discuss such results and the reasons and circumstances that contributed to any such Shortfall in an effort to determine what changes, if any, should be made to the Approved Budget for the then current Fiscal Year in light of the Shortfall. If, after a period of thirty (30) days shall have elapsed since the actual TLCF for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year shall have been determined, the Board of Managers still remain unable to agree as to whether the Approved Budget for the then current Fiscal Year should remain unchanged or should be modified on account of the Shortfall, the Members shall submit the disagreements regarding such matters to mediation within the New York City metropolitan area by an independent, professional and impartial third party chosen by the Members and accredited by JAMS. If after the expiration of ninety (90) days from the selection of a mediator the Board of Managers is still unable to resolve the differences with respect to the Approved Budget, then the Company shall engage an independent investment banking firm to assist the Company to effect a Company Sale, the Members shall cooperate in good faith to effect a Company Sale, and the Company shall be dissolved in accordance with Article X.

SECTION 4.06. Additional Funding. vi) In the event that the Board of Managers determines that additional capital is required to acquire any New Theater or otherwise to support the operations of the Company, such capital will be obtained through any one or a combination of the following means, at the election of the Board of Managers; provided, however, that Start Media shall be required to fund such additional Capital Contributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $9,000,000 pursuant to Section 4.06(b); provided, further, however, that Digiplex shall have the right to fund all or a portion of such additional capital through additional Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 4.06(b):

(i) subject to Section 5.05, revolving credit or other loan facilities provided by unrelated Persons (such as banks or other lending institutions);

(ii) subject to Section 5.05, cash advances or other credit or loan facilities provided by the Members or their Affiliates; or

(iii) additional Capital Contributions by the Members.

(b) In the event that the Board of Managers determines that additional capital is require to acquire any New Theaters or to fund the operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as set forth in an Approved Budget, such capital shall be funded through one or more Capital Contributions by the Members (a “Capital Call”), and the Members satisfying such Capital Call shall receive additional Membership Units, at a price per Membership Unit equal to the Additional Capital Call Price. Start Media shall be required to fund such additional Capital Contributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $9,000,000, subject to Digiplex’s right to fund any such Capital Call in an amount not to exceed the Maximum Digiplex Capital Call Amount (as defined below) for such Capital Call. In exchange for any such additional Capital Contributions (i) by Start Media, Start Media shall receive additional Class A Units and (ii) by Digiplex, Digiplex shall receive additional Class B Units. The Chairman shall notify each Member of the Capital Contribution to be made pursuant to this Section 4.06 by delivering written notice to each Member specifying (A) the aggregate amount of the Capital Call required at such time, (B) the Additional Capital Call Price, as determined in good faith by the Board of Managers, (C) the maximum amount of such Capital Call that Digiplex shall be entitled to fund (which shall be an amount such that, after the funding of such Capital Call by the Members, the total percentage interest of Digiplex does not exceed 50%) (the “Maximum Digiplex Capital Call Amount”) and (D) the date of which the Members are to fund such Capital Call, which shall be no earlier than fifteen (15) days and no later than thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice (the “Call Date”). No later than five (5) days prior to the Call Date, Digiplex shall notify the Company and Start Media of the amount, if any, of the Maximum Digiplex Capital Call Amount which Digiplex intends to fund. In the event that the additional Capital Call is required to acquire one or more New Theaters and the purchase price for such acquisition includes shares of Digiplex Class A Common Stock, Digiplex may make such additional Capital Contribution using shares of its Class A Common Stock, and the value of such contributed Class A Common Stock shall be equal to the value placed on such Class A Common Stock in the proposed acquisition of the New Theaters. Start Media and/or Digiplex, as the case may be, shall fund the Capital Call on the Call Date. In the event that either Start Media or Digiplex shall dispute the Board of Manager’s determination of Additional Capital Call Price, the number of Membership Units received by any such Member in respect of such Capital Call shall be adjusted upon the final determination of Additional Capital Call Price, effective as of the Call Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any additional Capital Contributions made by Digiplex shall not reduce Start Media’s commitment to make Capital Contributions (including Start Media’s initial Capital Contribution in the amount of $11,000,000) aggregating $20,000,000.

SECTION 4.07. Status of Capital Contributions. vii) No Member shall receive any interest, salary or drawing with respect to its Capital Contributions or its Capital Account or for services rendered on behalf of the Company or otherwise in its capacity as a Member, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

(b) The Members shall be liable only to make their Capital Contributions pursuant to this Article IV, and no Member shall be required to lend any funds to the Company or, after a Member’s Capital Contributions have been fully paid pursuant to this Article IV, to make any additional capital contributions to the Company. No Member shall have any personal liability for the repayment of any Capital Contribution of any other Member or Transferee.

(iii) in the event all or some of a Member’s interest in the Company is sold in accordance with Article IX, the Transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the assignor to the extent it relates to the transferred interest; and

(iv) no Member shall be required to pay to the Company or to any other Member or Person any deficit in such Member’s capital account upon dissolution of the Company or otherwise.

In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.02(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been made as if Section 6.02(c) and this Section 6.02(d) were not in the Agreement.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse deductions for any fiscal year shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with the number of Membership Units owned by such Member.

(f) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner nonrecourse deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss, or to the Members in the proportions in which they bear the economic risk of loss, with respect to the partner nonrecourse debt to which such partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Regulations.

(g) Net Loss Limitation. The Net Losses and items of deduction or loss allocated pursuant to Sections 6.01 and 6.02 shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses and items of deduction and loss that can be so allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. All Net Losses and items of deduction or loss in excess of the limitations set forth in this Section 6.02 shall be allocated to the Members who do not have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits in proportion to their Adjusted Capital Accounts. To the extent that Members have been allocated Net Losses pursuant to the previous sentence, prior to any allocation of Net Profits pursuant to Section 6.01(a) such Members shall be allocated Net Profits pro rata in proportion to such allocated Net Losses.

SECTION 6.03. Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 6.02 hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 6.03. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Members shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner they determine appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to this Article VI without regard to the Regulatory Allocations. In exercising their discretion under this Section 6.03, the Members shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 6.02 that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 6.02.

SECTION 6.04. Tax Allocations. xii) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition of Asset Value).

(b) In the event the Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

(c) Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the tax matters Member in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.04 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profit, Net Loss, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Company gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share Net Profit or Net Loss, or amounts specially allocated pursuant to Section 6.02 or 6.03 hereof, as the case may be, for the fiscal year.

SECTION 6.05. Tax Decisions. The Company shall file as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. All elections required or permitted to be made by the Company, and all other tax decisions and determinations relating to federal, state or local tax matters shall be made by the tax matters Member, in consultation with the Board of Managers and the Company’s attorneys and/or accountants. Tax audits, controversies and litigations shall be conducted under the direction of the tax matters Member. The tax matters Member shall submit to the Board of Managers, for their review and comment, any settlement or compromise offer with respect to any disputed item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company. Digiplex shall be the initial tax matters Member within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. The tax matters Member shall furnish to the Company which shall furnish to the other Members a copy of all notices or other written communications received by the tax matters Member from the Internal Revenue Service or any state of local taxing authority. The tax matters Member shall cause all tax returns of the Company to be timely filed. Copies of such returns shall be kept at the Company’s principal place of business or at such other place as the tax matters Member shall determine and shall be available for inspection by the Members or their duly authorized representatives during regular business hours. The tax matters Member shall distribute to the Company which shall distribute to each of the Members, as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year of the Company, information with respect to the Company necessary for each Member to prepare its Federal, state and local tax returns.

SECTION 7.03. Tax Distributions. The Company shall make quarterly distributions, to the extent of available cash, to each Member, in an amount equal to such Member’s share, pro rata in accordance with their respective Membership Units, of the Company’s Assumed Tax Liability (“Tax Distributions”). For the purposes of this Section 7.03, “Assumed Tax Liability” means the product of the Company’s taxable income through the payment date multiplied by the highest combined maximum effective federal, state and local income tax rate applicable to any Member. The Board of Managers will make a good faith estimate of the Assumed Tax Liability each quarter, and cash distributions will be made, the extent of available cash, to the Members in an amount equal to the appropriate percentage of such estimate adjusted for prior distributions on April 14, June 14, September 14 and December 14 of such year. A final determination of Assumed Tax Liability will be made no later than March 1 of the year succeeding the year with respect to which such Assumed Tax Liability is being calculated, with adjusting payments to be made to or from the Company by March 15 of such year. Distributions not made for any reason pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall accumulate without interest until paid. In addition, any distribution made by the Company in excess of the required distributions for a required distribution date shall be applied towards the next scheduled distribution.

SECTION 7.04. Distribution Rules. xiii) All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state or local tax Law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation by the Company to the Members shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Members pursuant to this Article VII for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company is authorized and directed to withhold from distribution, or with respect to allocations, to the Members and to pay over to any Federal, state or local government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any other Federal, state or local Law and shall allocate such amounts to those Members with respect to which such amounts were withheld. Promptly upon learning of any requirement under any provision of the Code or any other applicable Law requiring the Company to withhold any sum from a distribution to a Member or to make any payment to any taxing authority in respect of such Member, the Company shall give written notice to such Member of such requirement and, if practicable and if requested by such Member, shall cooperate with such Member in all lawful respects to minimize or to eliminate any such withholding or payment.

(b) A Member shall not have the status of, and is not entitled to the remedies available to, a creditor of the Company with regard to distributions that such Member becomes entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement and the Act.

SECTION 7.05. Limitations on Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member on account of its Membership Units if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable Law.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

SECTION 9.01. Certificates; Legends. xv) Ownership of Membership Units shall be evidenced by certificates. The Company shall issue one or more Membership Unit certificates to each Member, which Membership Unit certificates need not bear a seal of the Company but shall be signed by a Manager or other Person authorized by the Board of Managers to sign such Membership Unit certificates certifying the number, class and series of Membership Units represented by such certificate. The Company shall affix to each certificate evidencing Membership Units issued to Members a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE MEMBERSHIP UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM AND, IN EACH CASE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

THE MEMBERSHIP UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN AN OPERATING AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DECEMBER 10, 2012, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY. NO REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF THESE MEMBERSHIP UNITS WILL BE MADE ON THE BOOKS OF THE COMPANY UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH RESTRICTIONS SHALL HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH.”

(b) In the event that the Membership Unit certificates are not required under applicable securities Laws to bear the legend in the first paragraph of Section 9.01(a), the Company shall, upon the written request of the holder thereof, issue to such holder a new certificate evidencing such Membership Units without such legend; provided, that before issuing a new certificate omitting such legend, the Company may request an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect such legend is no longer required by such Laws. In the event that the Membership Units shall cease to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall, upon the written request of the holder thereof, issue to such holder a new certificate evidencing such Membership Units without the legend required by the second paragraph of Section 9.01(a).

SECTION 9.02. Certain Restrictions on Sale or Encumbrance. xvi) Until December 10, 2015, no Member shall make any Sale of, or create, incur or assume any Encumbrance with respect to, any Membership Units Beneficially Owned by such Member, other than any Sale to a Permitted Transferee, without the prior written consent of all other Members.

(b) From December 10, 2015 and during the effectiveness of this Agreement, no Member shall make any Sale of, or create, incur or assume any Encumbrance with respect to, any Membership Units Beneficially Owned by such Member, other than any Sale to a Permitted Transferee, or any Sale in accordance with this Article VI.

(c) No Sale of Membership Units to a Permitted Transferee shall be effective if a purpose or effect of such transfer shall have been to circumvent the provisions of this Section 9.02. Each Member shall remain responsible for the performance of this Agreement by each Permitted Transferee of such Member to which Membership Units are transferred. If any Permitted Transferee to which Membership Units are transferred pursuant to Section 9.02(a) ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of the Member from which or whom it acquired such Membership Units pursuant to such provision, such Person shall reconvey such Membership Units to such transferring Member immediately before such Person ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such transferring Member so long as such Person knows of its upcoming change of status immediately prior thereto. If such change of status is not known until after its occurrence, the former Permitted Transferee shall make such transfer to such transferring Member as soon as practicable after the former Permitted Transferee receives notice thereof.

(d) In the case of a Sale or attempted Sale of Membership Units or other interest in the Company contrary to the provisions of the Agreement, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such Sale shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of the Members from all losses that such indemnified Persons may incur (including, without limitation, incremented tax liability and lawyers’ fees and expenses) in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03. Improper Sale or Encumbrance. Any attempt not in compliance with this Agreement to make any Sale of, or create, incur or assume any Encumbrance with respect to, any Membership Units shall be null and void and of no force and effect, the purported transferee shall have no rights or privileges in or with respect to the Company, and the Company shall not give any effect in the Company’s records to such attempted Sale or Encumbrance.

SECTION 9.04. Rights of First Refusal. xvii) If at any time during the term of this Agreement any Member receives from or otherwise negotiates with a Third Party a bona fide offer (an “Offer”) to purchase for cash, Cash Equivalents or Marketable Securities any Membership Units Beneficially Owned or held by such Member, and such Member intends to sell such Membership Units to such Third Party, such Member (the “Prospective Seller”) shall provide the Company and each Member other than the Prospective Seller (each, an “Other Member”) with written notice of such Offer (an “Offer Notice”). The Offer Notice shall identify the Third Party making the Offer, the number of Membership Units covered by the Offer (the “Offered Membership Units”), the price per Membership Unit at which a Sale is proposed to be made (the “Offer Price”), the form of consideration proposed to be paid and all other material terms and conditions of the Offer.

(b) If the Offer Price includes:

(i) any Marketable Securities, the value of such securities shall be determined by calculating a volume-weighted average of the closing prices of such securities over the ten (10) trading-day period ending on the Price Determination Date on the market with the largest trading volume in such securities; or

(ii) any Cash Equivalents, the value of such Cash Equivalents shall be determined by reference to the closing price thereof on the market with the largest trading volume in such securities on the Price Determination Date.

(c) The receipt of an Offer Notice by the Other Members from a Prospective Seller shall constitute an offer by such Prospective Seller to sell to such other Members any or all of the Offered Membership Units at the Offer Price pro rata, in accordance with the following formula. Each such Other Member shall be entitled to purchase, upon the terms specified in the Offer Notice, a number of Membership Units equal to (x) the number of Offered Membership Units plus the number of Membership Units being sold pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof, if any, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Membership Units Beneficially Owned by such Other Member and the denominator of which is the number of Membership Units Beneficially Owned by all Other Members who wish to purchase Offered Membership Units. If any Other Member wishes to purchase less than all the Membership Units such Other Member is entitled to purchase in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Membership Units such Other Member declines to purchase shall be allocated among the Other Members who wish to purchase such additional Membership Units according to the same formula, mutatis mutandis. Such offer shall remain open and irrevocable until expiration of thirty (30) days after receipt of such Offer Notice by the Other Members (the “Offer Period”). Each Other Member who wishes may accept the offer by sending a written notice of election (the “Notice of Election”) to the Prospective Seller and the Company with a copy to the Other Members prior to expiration of the Offer Period. The Notice of Election shall specify the maximum number of Membership Units an Other Member is willing to purchase pursuant to this Section 9.04, if any, the number of Membership Units it wishes and is entitled to sell pursuant to Section 9.05, if any, and any other terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement. Upon expiration of the Offer Period, the Prospective Seller shall allocate in accordance with this Article IX any Membership Units to be sold pursuant to this Article IX and promptly notify each Member of its determination.

(d) If any Other Member accepts the Prospective Seller’s offer in accordance with Section 9.04(c) (an “Accepting Party”), and the entire Offered Membership Units shall be purchased by the Other Members, such Accepting Party shall purchase from the Prospective Seller, and the Prospective Seller shall sell to such Accepting Party, such number of Offered Membership Units as to which such Accepting Party shall have accepted the Prospective Seller’s offer. The price per Membership Unit to be paid by such Accepting Party shall be the Offer Price specified in the Offer Notice, payable in accordance with the terms of the Offer In the event the Other Members have not elected to purchase the entirety of the Offered Membership Units, the Prospective Seller may sell all of the Offered Membership Units in accordance with Section 9.04(f) as Remaining Membership Units.

(e) The Prospective Seller and each Accepting Party shall select, for consummation of the Sale of Offered Membership Units to such Accepting Party, a date not later than thirty (30) days after expiration of the Offer Period. At the consummation of such Sale, the Prospective Seller shall, against delivery by the relevant Accepting Party of the Offer Price multiplied by the number of Membership Units being purchased by such Accepting Party, (i) deliver to the Accepting Party certificates evidencing the Offered Membership Units being sold plus the Membership Units being sold pursuant to Section 9.05, if any, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by written instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to such Accepting Party duly executed by the Prospective Seller (or the selling Other Member, as the case may be) free and clear of any and all Encumbrances (other than this Agreement), and (ii) assign all its rights under this Agreement with respect to the Offered Membership Units being sold pursuant to an instrument of assignment reasonably satisfactory to such Accepting Party.

(f) In the event that (i) the Prospective Seller shall not have received Notices of Election indicating a desire to purchase, in the aggregate, all the Offered Membership Units prior to expiration of the Offer Period (in which case the Prospective Seller, pursuant to Section 9.04(d), shall not be obligated to sell any of the Offered Membership Units to the Other Members) or (ii) an Accepting Party shall have given a Notice of Election to the Prospective Seller but shall have failed to consummate, other than as a result of the fault of the Prospective Seller, a purchase of the Offered Membership Units he elected to purchase in such Notice of Election within the time frame specified in paragraph (e) above (and no Other Member shall have indicated an interest upon any such failure to buy such Membership Units within ten (10) Business Days of their receipt of a notice of such failure from the Prospective Seller), then nothing in this Section 9.04 shall limit the right of the Prospective Seller to make thereafter a Sale of, or create an Encumbrance on, all Offered Membership Units not accepted for purchase by the Company or the Other Members pursuant to a Notice of Election (the “Remaining Membership Units”); provided that

(A) the total number of Membership Units sold by the Prospective Seller for its own account (i.e., not including Membership Units owned by Other Members) to the Third Party who made the Offer shall be not more than the number of Offered Membership Units specified in the Offer Notice; and

(B) all the Membership Units that are sold or otherwise disposed of by the Prospective Seller are sold (1) within thirty (30) days after expiration of the Offer Period, (2) at an amount not less than the Offer Price included in such Offer Notice, (3) on the terms specified in the Offer Notice and (4) to the Third Party that made the Offer.

(g) In the event that each Other Member and the Company shall have received an Offer Notice from a Prospective Seller, the Prospective Seller shall not have received Notices of Election indicating a desire to buy all the Offered Membership Units prior to the expiration of the Offer Period and such Prospective Seller shall not have sold the Remaining Membership Units before the expiration of the period specified in Section 9.04(f)(B) above, then such Prospective Seller shall not give another Offer Notice for a period of one year from the day the Offer Notice was delivered.

(h) Anything in this Section 9.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 9.04 shall not be applicable to any Sale to a Permitted Transferee.

SECTION 9.05. Right to Participate in Certain Dispositions. xviii) If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, a Prospective Seller shall determine to sell Membership Units representing 10% or more of the Company’s then issued and outstanding Membership Units pursuant to an Offer, the Prospective Seller shall provide the Offer Notice defined in Section 9.04 to the Company and each of the Other Members. Each of the Other Members shall have the right and option, for a period of thirty (30) days concurrent with the Offer Period specified in Section 9.04, to sell, pursuant to the Offer, up to the same percentage of Membership Units held or owned by it as the percentage of Membership Units held or owned by such Prospective Seller as such Prospective Seller proposes to sell; provided that such right shall vest only (i) if less than all the Offered Membership Units are sold to the Other Members pursuant to Section 9.04 and the Prospective Seller still intends to consummate a Sale to the Third Party pursuant to the Offer or (ii) the Prospective Seller receives Notices of Election which, in the aggregate, represent offers to buy all the Offered Membership Units and all the Membership Units tendered by Other Members pursuant to this Section 9.05. Each Other Member desiring to exercise such right shall, prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, provide the Prospective Seller and the Other Members with a Notice of Election specifying the number of Membership Units which such Other Member has an interest in selling pursuant to the Offer.

(b) If the Third Party making the Offer is unwilling to buy all the Offered Membership Units or Remaining Membership Units, as the case may be, plus all the Membership Units tendered by Other Members in their Notices of Election, then the Prospective Seller and each Other Member who indicated the desire to sell in its Notice of Election shall be entitled to sell a number of Membership Units equal to (x) the number of Membership Units the Third Party offeror is willing to buy (which shall not be less than the number of Offered Membership Units), multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Membership Units owned by such Other Member or the Prospective Seller, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the sum of the total number of Membership Units owned by all Other Members who wish to sell Membership Units pursuant to the Offer and the Prospective Seller. If any Other Member wishes to sell less than all the Membership Units it is entitled to sell in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Membership Units it declines to sell shall be allocated among the Prospective Seller and the Other Members who wish to sell additional Membership Units according to the same formula, mutatis mutandis. The Prospective Seller shall not effect the Sale of any Membership Units pursuant to the Offer unless all the Offered Membership Units and all of the Membership Units tendered to the Prospective Seller and entitled to be sold pursuant to this Section 9.05 are simultaneously sold.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the consummation of any Sale or other disposition of Membership Units to the Third Party pursuant to this Section 9.05, the Prospective Seller shall remit to each of the Other Members the total sales price of the Membership Units of such Other Members sold pursuant thereto (taking into account the rights, powers and duties of the classes of Membership Units sold, but without applying a minority discount).

(d) If at the end of the Offer Period any Other Member shall not have given a Notice of Election indicating an interest in selling all of the Membership Units such Other Member would have been entitled to sell in accordance with Section 9.05(a) above, such Other Member shall be deemed to have waived all its rights under this Section 9.05 with respect to the Sale pursuant to the Offer for such Membership Units.

(e) Except as expressly provided in this Section 9.05, no Prospective Seller shall have any obligation to any Other Member with respect to the Sale or other disposition of any Membership Units owned by such Other Member in connection with this Section 9.05. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding and irrespective of whether any Notice of Election shall have been given, no Prospective Seller shall have any obligation to any Other Member to sell or otherwise dispose of any Offered Membership Units pursuant to this Section 9.05 as a result of any decision by such Prospective Seller not to accept or consummate any Offer or Sale or other disposition with respect to the Offered Membership Units (it being understood that any and all such decisions shall be made by such Prospective Seller in its sole discretion). No Other Member shall be entitled to sell or otherwise dispose of Membership Units directly to any Third Party pursuant to an Offer (it being understood that all such Sales and other dispositions shall be made only on the terms and pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Article IX).

(f) Anything in this Section 9.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 9.05 shall not be applicable to any transfer to a Permitted Transferee.

SECTION 9.06. Start Media Put Right Upon Digiplex Change of Control. xix) In the event of a Change of Control of Digiplex, Digiplex will, promptly following such Change of Control, notify each other Member in writing thereof, setting forth the date and circumstances of the Change of Control (including the amount and form of consideration paid or payable in connection with such Change of Control and the identity of the Third Party purchaser(s)). During the ninety (90) day period commencing on the date of receipt of such notice, Start Media (or its Transferee) shall have the right to require Digiplex (or its successor entity) to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Member’s Membership Units (the “Put Right”) at a purchase price equal to the amount such Member would receive upon a dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 10.04 at the valuation of the Company implied by such Change of Control. Any Member electing to exercise the Put Right pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.06 must give written notice of such election to Digiplex or its successor entity within the time period specified in this Section 9.06(a).

(b) Following the election by the applicable Member to exercise the Put Right, Digiplex or its successor entity shall deliver the purchase price in cash (or such other form of consideration paid in the Change of Control transaction) to the selling Member(s) at a closing on a date mutually agreed upon by the parties and, in any event, within twenty (20) days of the date of such election. At the closing, the selling Member(s) shall deliver to Digiplex or its successor entity the certificate or certificates evidencing the Membership Units to be sold pursuant to such Sale by such Member(s), duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by written instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to Digiplex or its successor entity, duly executed by such selling Member(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or part of the consideration payable in connection with the Change of Control transaction is unregistered securities of any Person subject to restrictions on transfer as a result of any applicable contractual provisions or the provisions of the Securities Act, then the selling Member(s) may elect to receive the purchase price either (i) in such unregistered securities, provided such securities are subject to customary “demand” and “piggy-back” registration rights reasonably acceptable to the Person receiving such securities as consideration in a transaction pursuant to Article IX hereof or (ii) in cash.

(c) For the purposes of this Section 9.06, “Change of Control” with respect to a Member means the occurrence of any of the following at any time after the date hereof:

(i) any Person or group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-1 under the Exchange Act) of Persons (A) shall have become the Beneficial Owner of more than 50% of the then outstanding voting securities of any such Member or Affiliate Controlling such Member or (B) shall have acquired, directly or indirectly, the power to vote for the election of a majority of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of such Member or any Affiliate Controlling such Member; or

(ii) the board of directors (or similar governing body), or if applicable the shareholders, of the Member or any Affiliate Controlling such Member, as the case may be, shall have approved the sale of all or substantially all the assets of such Member or Affiliate Controlling such Member in one transaction or a series of related transactions.

SECTION 9.07. Transferees to Execute Agreement. Each Member agrees that it will not, during the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, make any Sale of any Membership Units Beneficially Owned by such Member unless prior to the consummation of any such Sale, the Person to whom such Sale is proposed to be made (a “Prospective Transferee”) (i) executes and delivers this Agreement to the Company and each Member and (ii) unless such Prospective Transferee is a recognized institutional investor, delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that the execution of this Agreement by such Prospective Transferee makes this Agreement a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Prospective Transferee enforceable against such Prospective Transferee in accordance with its terms. Upon the execution and delivery by such Prospective Transferee of this Agreement and, if required, the delivery of the opinion of counsel referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, such Prospective Transferee shall be deemed a “Member” for purposes of this Agreement and shall have the rights and be subject to the obligations of a Member under this Agreement with respect to the Membership Units owned by such Prospective Transferee.

The Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any Covered Person is seeking indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of each such Covered Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by any such Covered Person), unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of each such Covered Person from all liability and claims that are the subject matter of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding.

(c) No amendment or repeal of any of this Section 11.02 or any other provisions of this Agreement shall limit or eliminate any rights to indemnification of a Covered Person existing at the time of such amendment or repeal with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
