      Termination. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, which include the failure of either party to make a payment and the continuance thereof for five business days, material uncured breach of the agreement and certain bankruptcy-related events, the non-breaching party may terminate the agreement. If we fail to deliver to DreamWorks Studios three films per each five-year period, if applicable, of the Distribution Agreement (e.g., three films within the first five years, six films within the first ten years), then DreamWorks Studios has the right to terminate the agreement. In addition, if DreamWorks Studios (i) is in breach or default under any sub- distribution or third-party service agreements that have been approved by us; and such breach or default has or will have a material adverse effect on the distribution rights granted under the Distribution Agreement, (ii) ceases to employ David Geffen and Steven Spielberg or they cease to be meaningfully involved in the management of DreamWorks Studios’ distribution business, or (iii) undergoes a change of control, including a sale of all or substantially all of its assets or its motion picture division, then we may terminate the agreement. If we terminate the agreement, we generally can require DreamWorks Studios to stop distributing our films in the various territories and markets in which DreamWorks Studios directly distributes our films or we can terminate the remaining term of the Distribution Agreement, but require DreamWorks Studios to continue distributing our films that it is currently distributing or are ready for release pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, subject, in each case, to the terms of any output or other agreements to which the films are then subject (provided that DreamWorks Studios continues to pay us all amounts required to be paid to us and to perform its other obligations pursuant to the Distribution Agreement) or permit DreamWorks Studios to continue distribution in territories and markets that we choose. Unless otherwise agreed, termination of the Distribution Agreement will not affect the rights that any sub-distributor or service provider has with respect to our films pursuant to sub- distribution, servicing and licensing agreements that we have approved. Subject to the preceding sentence, in the event (i) DreamWorks Studios’ agreement with Universal Studios expires or is terminated by either party or (ii) DreamWorks Studios ceases to be engaged in the domestic theatrical distribution business and domestic theatrical exhibition rights are not assigned or sublicensed to Universal Studios in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement, then either we or DreamWorks Studios may terminate the Distribution Agreement. DreamWorksStudios’ Agreements with Universal Studios The Universal Distribution Agreement covers the international theatrical distribution of all films (whether live action, animated, or a combination of both) that DreamWorks Studios theatrically releases in the domestic territory, as well as the worldwide home video fulfillment services of those films (excluding in each case the territories serviced by CJ Entertainment and Kadokawa). We have agreed with Universal Studios and DreamWorks Studios that the terms of the Universal Distribution Agreement shall apply to our films in the international theatrical markets where Universal Studios currently has the right to distribute DreamWorks Studios’ films and that the terms of the Universal Home Video Agreement shall apply in the worldwide markets where Universal Studios currently has the right to provide fulfillment services with respect to home videos. International Theatrical Distribution Term of Agreement and Exclusivity. Pursuant to the Universal Distribution Agreement, DreamWorks Studios has granted to Universal Studios the exclusive right to initially theatrically distribute in the international territory (currently excluding Korea, the People’s Republic of China and Japan) all of the films DreamWorks Studios (including our films) initially theatrically distributes in the domestic territory. The agreement covers films domestically released by DreamWorks Studios through December 31, 2010, although Universal Studios has the right to extend the term of the agreement for up to two years under certain conditions. Notwithstanding expiration of the Universal Distribution Agreement, Universal Studios’ right to the exclusive initial international theatrical distribution of each of DreamWorks Studios’ distributed films extends for one year after DreamWorks Studios initially theatrically distributes that film in the domestic territory during the term of the Universal Distribution Agreement. Distribution Services. Universal Studios has agreed to provide marketing and distribution services in the international theatrical market for DreamWorks Studios’ films in a manner substantially equivalent in quantity, 12
