pre-approved agreements, as well as the agreements with Universal Studios described below. The Distribution Agreement also grants DreamWorks Studios identical rights with respect to all animated feature films and direct- to-video films we have previously released. Distribution of our films generally includes (1) domestic and international theatrical exhibition, (2) domestic and international home video exhibition, (3) domestic and international television licensing, including pay-per- view, pay television, network, basic cable and syndication, (4) non-theatrical exhibition, such as on airlines, in schools and in armed forces institutions and (5) Internet, radio (for promotional purposes only) and new media rights, to the extent that we or any of our affiliates own or control the rights to the foregoing. We retain all other rights to exploit our films, including the right to make prequels and sequels, commercial tie-in and promotional rights with respect to each film, as well as merchandising, interactive, literary publishing, music publishing and soundtrack rights. Once it has acquired the license to distribute one of our animated films or direct-to-video films, DreamWorks Studios generally has the right to exploit the animated film or direct-to-video film in the manner described above for 16 years from its initial general theatrical release, or 10 years from initial release, with respect to direct-to-video films. Distribution Services. DreamWorks Studios is directly responsible for the initial U.S. theatrical release of all of our qualified animated films, but may engage one or more sub-distributors and service providers for all other markets, subject to our prior written approval with respect to entities not currently so engaged by DreamWorks Studios. DreamWorks Studios has entered into an international theatrical distribution agreement (the “Universal Distribution Agreement”) with Universal Studios (described below) that provides that Universal Studio’s affiliate will distribute and market DreamWorks Studios’ films (including ours) in international theatrical markets excluding Japan, Korea and the People’s Republic of China. In Japan, DreamWorks Studios has contracted with Kadokawa Entertainment to provide such services and in Korea and the People’s Republic of China, DreamWorks Studios has contracted with CJ Entertainment. For worldwide home video fulfillment services (excluding Japan and Korea), DreamWorks Studios has entered into a worldwide home video fulfillment services agreement (the “Universal Home Video Agreement” and, together with the Universal Distribution Agreement, the “Universal Agreements”) with Universal Studios (described below) to provide marketing, distribution and other fulfillment services. Such services are provided in Japan by Kadokawa Entertainment and in Korea by CJ Entertainment. DreamWorks Studios has also entered into output agreements with many of the major pay and broadcast television providers throughout the world. In the past, as a division of DreamWorks Studios, our films were generally covered by these license and output agreements. We expect that under the Distribution Agreement we will continue to benefit from DreamWorks Studios’ existing agreements and relationships. The agreement provides that DreamWorks Studios will advertise, publicize, promote, distribute and exploit our animated feature films and direct-to-video films in a manner consistent with DreamWorks Studios’ past practices used to service our previously released films and its prevailing and commercially reasonable practices with respect to its films under similar circumstances to the extent and as long as applicable and if a higher standard. Specifically, the distribution, promotional and marketing services DreamWorks Studios provides with respect to our theatrically released animated feature films must be substantially comparable on an overall basis in quality, level, priority and quantity to the provision of such services by DreamWorks Studios in connection with the initial theatrical and home video release of our four most recent films. DreamWorks Studios’ obligations to provide these services in the international theatrical markets serviced by Universal Studios and in the home video market serviced by Universal Studios are subject to the standards set forth in the Universal Agreements. Additional Pictures. Tothe extent we produce or acquire an animated feature film or hybrid animated/live action film that does not meet the criteria set forth in the Distribution Agreement, we will submit that additional film to DreamWorks Studios for possible license pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. DreamWorks Studios will prepare an estimate of the prints and advertising expenses for such film and, if we agree with such estimate, DreamWorks Studios may license the film pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. If we disagree with the estimate, subject to certain exceptions, we can license the film to another distributor if they offer us more favorable terms unless we are required to license the film to Universal Studios pursuant to the terms of the Universal Distribution Agreement. 9
