assignment, license, pledge or other encumbrance if such consent is required
pursuant to the Universal Agreement.

            2.2 Relation Between DWA, DW Studios and Universal as to Prior
Pictures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the DW

as to all Prior Pictures, DWA, DW Studios and Universal agree: (i) as between
DWA and DW Studios, each Prior Picture shall be deemed to be a Licensed Picture

Prior Picture directly for DWA, as if Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this Agreement
applied to such Prior Picture.

            2.3 Transfer of Benefits; Retransfer. Subject to the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Universal hereby approves the transfer from DW
Studios to DWA of all of DW Studios' benefits under the Universal Agreement with
respect to the Prior Pictures, subject to the following: (a) DW Studios and DWA
hereby agree that such transfer has no effect on Universal's rights in the Prior
Pictures pursuant to the Universal Agreement (as more fully set forth in Section
2.2.(ii), above); and (b) DWA hereby acknowledges and agrees that all such
benefits are being retransferred from DWA to DW Studios pursuant to the
Distribution Agreement (and accordingly, Section 2.2.(iii), above, applies as
between DW Studios, DWA and Universal).

      SECTION 3. GRANT OF RIGHTS; PERIOD OF DISTRIBUTION. The following shall
apply only as and to the extent that a given Motion Picture constitutes a
Universal Licensed Picture hereunder:

            3.1 Grant of Rights: Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, DWA
grants, licenses, and/or assigns (as applicable) to Universal, to the extent of
the rights owned or controlled by DWA or any Affiliate Controlled by DWA thereof
in and to each Universal Licensed Picture, the following rights: (i) throughout
the Theatrical Territory, to exploit the Theatrical Distribution Rights on its
initial theatrical release (as referenced in paragraph 1.a. of the Theatrical
Distribution Agreement); and (ii) throughout the Home Video Territory, to
exploit the Home Video Fulfillment Services Rights if DWA designates such Motion
Picture for release as a Videogram. As between Universal and DWA, all rights to
Universal Licensed Pictures not expressly granted or licensed (as applicable) to
Universal pursuant to this Agreement, including the Retained Rights, shall
remain vested in DWA. If and to the extent that DWA has licensed or granted (as
applicable) rights to a Universal Licensed Picture to Universal pursuant to the
first sentence of this Section 3.1., Universal and DWA shall each have the
rights and obligations with respect to such Universal Licensed Picture set forth
in the Theatrical Distribution Agreement and the Home Video Fulfillment Services
Agreement, with DWA having all the rights and obligations of DW Studios to
Universal under such agreements with respect to the Universal Licensed Picture,
and Universal having all the rights and obligations to DWA as Universal would
have to DW Studios under such agreements with respect to the Universal Licensed
Pictures.

            3.2 Period of Distribution: With respect to each Universal Licensed
Picture, Universal shall have the rights and obligations to exploit the
applicable Theatrical Distribution Rights and Home Video Fulfillment Services
Rights granted pursuant to Section 3.1 above during the Universal Term (subject

            3.3 Clarification: For avoidance of doubt, in no event shall
Universal have any right to exercise any rights with respect to any given Motion
Picture pursuant to this Section 3, nor shall there be any executory obligations
from DWA to Universal or from Universal to DWA hereunder with respect to such
Motion Picture, so long as such Motion Picture constitutes a DW Distributed
Picture pursuant to Section 4, below.

      SECTION 4. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO DW DISTRIBUTED PICTURES
AND PRIOR PICTURES.

            4.1 DWA Approval of Universal Exploitation Agreements. DWA hereby
irrevocably approves the terms and conditions of the Universal Exploitation
Agreements, which approval may not hereafter be withdrawn, terminated, qualified
or conditioned.

            4.2 Universal Not Bound by DW Distribution Agreement. The parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that as to all DW Distributed Pictures and Prior
Pictures, Universal shall have the rights to distribute and provide such
fulfillment services therefor as set forth in the Universal Exploitation
Agreements; that Universal's sole obligations as to such DW Distributed Pictures
and Prior Pictures are those it is required to render to DW Studios as set forth
in the Theatrical Distribution Agreement and the Home Video Fulfillment Services
Agreement; and that neither Universal nor any of its Affiliates, nor UIP, is
bound by the provisions of the DW Distribution Agreement. Without limitation of
the foregoing, and regardless of the provisions of the DW Distribution
Agreement, Universal shall not be required to render services, or provide
information, approval, consultation, access, audit or other rights to DWA with
respect to DW Distributed Pictures or Prior Pictures. DWA and DW Studios
acknowledge and agree that Universal is required to take instructions
exclusively from, and is entitled to rely exclusively on all instructions of DW
Studios with respect to such DW Distributed Pictures and Prior Pictures,
regardless of any instructions by DWA, and that DW Studios may not delegate,
transfer or assign any of its rights or obligations under the Universal
Exploitation Agreements to DWA with respect to DW Distributed Pictures or such
Prior Pictures. Universal's (i) rights under the Theatrical Distribution
Agreement apply to DW Distributed Pictures on the commencement of their
theatrical distribution in the Domestic Territory, and (ii) rights under the
Home Video Fulfillment Services Agreement apply to DW Distributed Pictures DW
Studios distributes for DWA as Videograms during the Universal Term or within
*** following the Motion Picture's initial general U.S. theatrical release,
which release occurs during the Universal Term.

            4.3 Universal's Rights of Collection, Deduction and Recoupment. DWA
acknowledges that Universal has the right to collect receipts, deduct fees, and
recoup expenses and other amounts (if any) with respect to the DW Distributed
Pictures and Prior Pictures all as set forth in the Universal Exploitation
Agreements. For so long as the DW Distribution Agreement is in effect, Universal
shall pay over all amounts required to be remitted by it in respect of DW
Distributed Pictures and Prior Pictures solely to DW Studios, and shall have no
liability to DWA in respect of such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Universal agrees that it shall make payments to DW Studios in respect of DW
Distributed Pictures and Prior Pictures without setoff, counterclaim or defense
except (a) for setoffs, counterclaims or defenses related to DW Distributed
Pictures and Prior Pictures, (b) if any Motion Pictures later become Universal
Licensed Pictures hereunder, for setoffs, counterclaims or defenses related to
such Universal Licensed Pictures or (c) for the obligations of DWA to Universal
under Section 5 of this Agreement. DWA, DW Studios and Universal agree that if
any and all fees or expenses related to DW Distributed Pictures and Prior
Pictures and owed to Universal under the Universal Exploitation Agreements for
any reason are not paid when due, Universal shall be entitled to recoup such
amounts from all amounts collected by it related to the DW Distributed Pictures
and Prior Pictures, together with interest on amounts due and owing as provided
in the applicable Universal Exploitation Agreements.

Licensed Pictures or Prior Pictures, DWA shall provide Universal with
fully-executed access letters in reasonable and customary form for each
laboratory or storage facility in which Tangible Film Materials for such Motion
Pictures are held upon Universal's request therefor from time to time. To the
extent that DWA or DW Studios maintains possession of any Tangible Film
Materials required for the exercise of Universal's Theatrical Distribution
Rights and Home Video Fulfillment Services Rights with respect to Licensed
Pictures, Universal Licensed Pictures or Prior Pictures, Universal shall have
the same right of access thereto as it would have under the above-referenced
laboratory or storage-facility access letter had such Tangible Film Materials
been held at a laboratory or storage facility.

      SECTION 5. ANIMATION ADVANCE AND RELATED PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS.

            5.1 Animation Advance:

repaid.

STUDIOS ASSIGNMENT.

            6.1 No Adverse Amendment of DW Distribution Agreement. DW Studios
and DWA shall not at any time during the Universal Term, without the consent of
Universal (not to be unreasonably withheld), amend or modify the license granted
to DW Studios under the DW Distribution Agreement or the transfer of "Animated
Film Assets" as defined in and pursuant to the Separation Agreement in any
manner that would have an adverse effect on Universal under the Universal
Agreement and this Agreement.

            6.2 No Assignment of DW Distribution Agreement by DW Studios. DW
Studios may not at any time during the Universal Term assign any of its
Theatrical Exhibition, Home Video Exhibition or Theme Park Rights under the DW
Distribution Agreement if such assignment would result in a loss of any or all
of Universal's Home Video Fulfillment Services Rights, Theatrical Distribution
Rights or Theme Park Rights.

follows:

            7.1 DWA. DWA makes the same representations and warranties with
respect to this Agreement as made by DW Studios in Section XII.4 of the Master
Agreement. If and when DWA licenses and/or grants rights to Universal Licensed
Pictures to Universal, it will make the representations and warranties, and
provide such indemnities to Universal with respect to such Universal Licensed
Pictures as are set forth in the Universal Exploitation Agreements for DW
Studios.

            7.2 Universal. Universal makes the same representations and
warranties with respect to this Agreement that it (or its predecessors in
interest) made in Section XII.4 of the Master Agreement. If and when Universal
is granted a license and/or rights to Universal Licensed Pictures, it will make
the representations and warranties, and provide such indemnities to DWA with
respect to such Universal Licensed Pictures as are set forth in the Universal
Exploitation Agreements for Universal.

            7.3 DW Studios. DW Studios makes the same representations and
warranties with respect to this Agreement that it made in Section XII.4 of the
Master Agreement. For purposes of clarity, DW Studios makes the same
representations and warranties as to, and provides the same indemnities to

sufficient to grant Universal's Theatrical Distribution Rights, Home Video

Studios, or (ii) such conveyance or encumbrance is expressly subject to the
rights and obligations of Universal under this Agreement and (to the extent
applicable) the Universal Exploitation Agreements. In the event of a conveyance
or encumbrance subject to clause (ii), effective no later than such transfer or
encumbrance, the applicable transferee or encumbrance holder shall provide
Universal with an acknowledgement of Universal's rights under this Agreement and
(to the extent applicable) the Universal Exploitation Agreements and an
agreement not to disturb, interfere or seek to terminate Universal's rights
under this Agreement or (to the extent applicable) the Universal Exploitation
Agreements, such acknowledgement and agreement not to disturb to be in a form
reasonably satisfactory to Universal.

      SECTION 8. RIGHTS UNDER UNIVERSAL AGREEMENT.

Services Agreement, or (except as expressly set forth in this Section 9.1) their
respective rights or obligations with respect to and following such termination,
in each case in accordance with such agreements' terms. DWA shall not have any
right to terminate any of the Universal Exploitation Agreements unless DW

the Universal Exploitation Agreements). DW Studios, DWA and Universal each
acknowledge and agree that no termination of this Agreement, the Theatrical
Distribution Agreement or the Home Video Fulfillment Services Agreement shall be

Agreement notwithstanding the fact that the annual exclusivity fee payable by
Universal pursuant to Section 4A. of the Theme Park Agreement is payable to DW
Studios, not DWA.

      SECTION 11. UIP AMENDMENT. Notwithstanding anything in the Universal

but only with respect to the "Foreign Territory" as defined in Schedule B-TC the

to time assign or delegate any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder to
one or more Universal Affiliates or to subdistributors, and (b) if DW Studios

      SECTION 19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

                  a. The parties agree that any dispute to interpret or enforce,
or otherwise arising out of or relating to, this Agreement shall be determined

arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator with at least
ten (10) years experience in the theatrical Motion Picture industry, appointed
by mutual agreement of the parties within five (5) business days from the date
the notice of arbitration is delivered by the petitioning party; (b) the parties

as provided in California Code of Civil Procedure sections 1285 et seq. If the
arbitrator is not selected by mutual consent within five (5) business days from
the date the notice of arbitration is delivered by the petitioning party, the
rules of the AAA with respect to the selection of an arbitrator shall apply.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, before proceedings are initiated hereunder, the

after the date the notice is delivered. The arbitrator shall rule as to whether
or not amounts are owed to the petitioning party, and if so, the exact amount
owed to the petitioning party (taking into account the default interest and
other provisions contained in the Agreement). In such event, the non-petitioning
party shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of the arbitrator's ruling
to make such payment. In the event such payment is not made within the
aforementioned period, such failure shall constitute a breach of this Agreement
and the petitioning party may exercise all rights and remedies available under
Section 9 above.

pursuant to Section 19.a. above that affect the timely release of a Licensed

many days as the arbitrator determines to allow; provided, that the hearing
shall conclude, and the arbitrator shall rule, not later than ten (10) Business
Days after the date the notice is delivered.

THE CONTRARY, AND EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE
FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES
OR LOST PROFITS SUFFERED BY AN INDEMNITEE, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF
LIABILITY, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DAMAGES ARISING HEREUNDER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
THAT TO THE EXTENT EITHER PARTY IS REQUIRED TO PAY (A) ANY AMOUNT ARISING OUT OF
THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH IN SECTION 7 AND/OR (B) ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
INDIRECT, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, IN EACH
CASE, TO A THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD PARTY CLAIM, SUCH DAMAGES WILL
CONSTITUTE DIRECT DAMAGES AND WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATION SET FORTH IN
THIS SECTION 19.c.

      Section 20. Severability of Provisions. If any provision in this Agreement
shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force or effect while such
infirmity shall exist, but such infirmity shall have no effect whatsoever upon
the binding force or effectiveness of any other provisions hereof unless the
parties otherwise agree. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid
provision the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.

      SECTION 21. WAIVER. No delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder
shall constitute a waiver of such right except in those instances where this
Agreement provides for specific notice and a period of time thereafter within
which to exercise a right, in which case failure to exercise such right within
the specified time period shall constitute a waiver thereof.

      SECTION 22. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced
in accordance with the laws of the state of California, applicable to contracts
entered into and to be fully performed in said state by residents thereof. For
purposes of enforcing, confirming or vacating an award under Section 19 above,
or in the event the provisions of Section 19 shall be held invalid or
unenforceable, only the California courts (state and federal) shall have
jurisdiction over controversies regarding or arising under this Agreement, and
if there is any matter which might be subject either to state or federal
jurisdiction, the parties agree that the matter shall be submitted to federal
jurisdiction. The parties specifically agree that the Superior Court of the
State of California, County of Los Angeles and the United States District Court
for the Central District of California shall have the personal jurisdiction over
them, and each of them, notwithstanding the fact that they may be citizens of
other states or countries. In this regard the parties agree that Los Angeles
County is a convenient forum.

      SECTION 23. CONFIDENTIALITY. Except as may be required by law or NASD or
stock exchange rules, each party shall keep confidential all terms and
conditions contained herein. DWA, DW Studios and Universal acknowledge that they
will, during the Term hereof, have access to, and acquire knowledge from,
materials, data and other information which is not accessible or known to the
general public ("Confidential Information"). Except as required by law or NASD
or stock exchange rules, or as may be required for the preparation of tax
returns or other government or legally required documents, or as reasonable
necessary to employees, agents, lawyers, accountants, auditors, bankers,
consultants, representative or investors of DWA, DW Studios and Universal or
their Affiliates for a bona fide business purpose (who shall be similarly bound
by these confidentiality provisions), neither the Confidential Information nor
any knowledge acquired by DWA, DW Studios and Universal, as the case may be,
from such Confidential Information or otherwise through its engagement hereunder
shall be used, publicized or divulged by the other to any other Person without
the prior written consent of the applicable party obtained in advance and in
each instance. Nothing herein shall prevent a party, or any employees, agents,
lawyers, accountants, auditors, bankers, consultants, representatives or
investors of such party or its Affiliates (the "Receiving Party") from using,
disclosing, or authorizing the disclosure of any information it receives in the
course of performance of the Agreement which:

                  a. was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by
the other party;

                  b. is or becomes publicly available without default hereunder
by the Receiving Party;

                  c. is lawfully acquired by the Receiving Party from a source
which is not an agent or representative of the Receiving Party and is not under
any obligation to the other party regarding disclosure of such information;

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

                  d. is independently developed by the Receiving Party without
use of any of the other party's confidential information; or

                  e. is disclosed by the applicable party hereto to unaffiliated
third parties without confidential undertakings.

For the avoidance of doubt, Confidential Information as defined in this Section
23. shall not include any Information that the applicable party is obligated to
make available to any third party(ies) in the course of fulfilling its
obligations under this Agreement (e.g., contingent compensation statements).

      SECTION 24. NOTICE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Each party will give the other
parties reasonable notice of its appropriate contact person(s).

      SECTION 25. PARAGRAPH HEADINGS. Paragraph headings and titles are
solely for convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement, nor
are they intended to aid or govern the interpretation of this Agreement.

      SECTION 26. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LICENSE. DWA and DW Studios acknowledge
and agree that the Theatrical Distribution Rights licensed to Universal
constitute "intellectual property" as such term is defined in the Bankruptcy
Code and that Universal is entitled to all of the rights of a licensee of
intellectual property under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect
to all of such licensed rights.

      SECTION 27. DISCLOSURE, COMPLIANCE AND REPORTING OBLIGATIONS. Universal
agrees to supply information and reports to DWA (at DWA's expense) in the form
and manner requested by DWA and access to Universal's books and records and
internal controls, with respect to DWA's public disclosure, compliance or
reporting obligations, including those under Section 404 and the other
provisions under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board, and to modify (at DWA's expense) any such internal controls as
are reasonably requested by DWA to comply with such obligations, provided
however, such information, reports, access and controls apply only to
Universal's direct obligations to DWA hereunder.

      SECTION 28. NOTICES. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be served by private delivery services, and shall be deemed given on the date
delivered to the following addresses (or such other addresses as such party may

to as traditional hand-drawn animation, stop motion animation, claymation,
computer-generated animation or a similar or new method of animation now known
or hereafter devised; provided, however, that a theatrical motion picture shall
not be deemed an Animated Picture solely (i) because parts of its action are
created by animation intended to appear as live action, (ii) due to the
inclusion of incidental animation, or (iii) because it contains limited amounts
of animation presented in conjunction (whether or not in the same frame) with
live action (e.g., "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" would not be an Animated Picture).

            "Animation Pipeline Estimate" as of the end of any fiscal quarter

which had their initial public release (whether in theatres in the Domestic
Territory (as defined in the Universal Agreement) or the Foreign Territory (as
defined in the Universal Agreement), on home video or otherwise) prior to the
end of such quarter ("Animation Pipeline Released Pictures"), and (b) which are

overhead) prior to the end of such quarter (provided that, with respect to any
[Motion] Picture described in clause (c), DWA shall (I) be firmly committed to
the production of such [Motion] Picture, without any third party conditions,

Picture, and (III) have reasonably scheduled such Animated Picture for initial
domestic theatrical release within 18 months of the last day of such quarter)

such estimated Aggregate Receipts, (y) estimated Aggregate Expenses attributable
to such Animated Pictures and (z) Aggregate Receipts for such Animated Pictures
actually paid to DW by Distributor and FSP prior to the end of such quarter. For
further clarity, once an Animated Picture has had its initial public release, it
shall only be factored in clause (i)(a) above and shall no longer be factored in
clause (i)(c). DWA's independent auditors will certify that the ultimates for
Animated Pictures referred to in clause (i)(a) above are the same figures used
to prepare and review DW's quarterly, and prepare and audit DW's annual,
financial statements for the applicable fiscal period.

            "Pipeline Estimate" as of the end of any fiscal quarter shall be
equal to a commercially reasonable estimate, based on revenue figures in

public release (whether in theatres in the Domestic Territory or the Foreign
Territory, on home video or otherwise) prior to the end of such quarter
("Pipeline Released Pictures"), and (b) that were placed in production or
pre-production (using estimates based on breakeven ultimates for such [Motion]
Pictures after capitalized interest and overhead) prior to the end of such
quarter (provided that, with respect to any [Motion] Picture described in clause
(b), DW shall (i) be firmly committed to the production of such [Motion]
Picture, without any third party conditions, (ii) have scheduled principal
photography to commence within eight weeks of such quarter-end, (iii) have
binding commitments from the director and two principal cast members for such
[Motion] Picture and (iv) have approved the preliminary budget and screenplay
for such [Motion] Picture) less (x) Aggregate Fees which would be retained by
Distributor and FSP based on such estimated Aggregate Receipts, (y) estimated
Aggregated Expenses attributable to such [Motion] Pictures and (z) Aggregate
Receipts for such [Motion] Pictures actually paid to DW by Distributor and FSP
prior to the end of such quarter. For further clarity, once a [Motion] Picture
has had its initial public release, it shall only be factored in clause (a)
above and shall no longer be factored in clause (b). DW's independent auditors
will certify that the ultimates for [Motion] Pictures referred to in clause (a)
above are the same figures used to prepare and review DW's quarterly, and
prepare and audit DW's annual, financial statements for the applicable fiscal
period.


            "Pipeline Required Amount" shall mean ***.

Broadcasting Company Inc., Vivendi Universal S.A. and Universal Studios Holding
III Corp. (the "NBC Closing"), *** of the Advance was forgiven and the stated
amount of the Advance is ***.


            4.    Further Advance Adjustments. Not later than 45 days following
the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of DW (commencing with the
fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2002) and 90 days following the end of each
fiscal year-end of DW (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002)
(each, an "Estimate Date"), DW shall deliver to Universal a schedule containing
DW's good faith estimate of the Pipeline Estimate as of such Estimate Date (the
"Periodic Pipeline Schedule" and, collectively the "Pipeline Schedules"),
including reasonably detailed supporting documentation for such computation.
Within *** following each Estimate Date:

                  (i)   if the Pipeline Estimate in respect of such Estimate
                        Date is less than the Pipeline Required Amount and less
                        than the Pipeline Estimate in respect of the most recent

                        in the case of the first Estimate Date), DW shall pay
                        Universal in cash by wire transfer in immediately
                        available funds an amount (a "DW Adjustment") equal to

                        Pipeline Required Amount and (B) the Pipeline Estimate
                        in respect of the most recent preceding Estimate Date,
                        and (y) the Pipeline Estimate on such Estimate Date; or


                  (ii)  if the Pipeline Estimate in respect of such Estimate
                        Date is greater than the Pipeline Estimate in respect of
                        the most recent preceding Estimate Date (or the Initial
                        Estimate Date, in the case of the first Estimate Date)
                        and the Pipeline Estimate in respect of such preceding
                        Estimate Date was less than the Pipeline Required
                        Amount, Universal shall pay DW (a "Universal

            6.    Dispute Resolutions.

               a.   If Universal delivers written notice to DW setting forth a
                    description of Universal's objections to any Pipeline
                    Estimate or a written notice to DWA setting forth a
                    description of Universal's objections to any Animation
                    Pipeline Estimate, and the amount of the adjustment that
                    Universal believes should be made to each item in respect of
                    such objection (an "Objection Notice") no later than ***

                    associated supporting documentation), the Parties hereto
                    shall follow the resolution procedure described below.

               b.   No later than *** following receipt of an Objection Notice,
                    the Designated Officer of each of DW or DWA, as applicable,
                    on the one hand and Universal on the other hand shall meet
                    and negotiate in good faith to resolve any items set forth
                    in the Objection Notice. "Designated Officer" shall mean its
                    chief financial officer, in the case of DW or DWA, and its
                    Chief Financial Officer, in the case of Universal, or such
                    other senior executive of such party as shall be reasonably
                    acceptable to the other parties.


               c.   If the Designated Officers are unable to resolve all the
                    objections set forth in any Objection Notice within ***,
                    they shall jointly appoint *** (the "Neutral Expert") within
                    *** after the end of such *** period. The Neutral Expert,
                    acting as experts and not as arbitrators, shall review the
                    objections set forth in the Objection Notice which were not
                    resolved pursuant to the procedure in clause (b) above. The
                    Neutral Expert shall determine, based on the requirements
                    set forth in this Agreement and only with respect to
                    objections submitted to the Neutral Expert, whether and to
                    what extent the applicable Pipeline Estimate or Animation
                    Pipeline Estimate requires adjustment. Universal on the one
                    hand and DW or DWA on the other shall each pay *** of the
                    fees and disbursements of the Neutral Expert in respect of
                    such engagement. Universal, DW and DWA shall, and shall
                    cause their representatives to, provide to the Neutral
                    Expert full cooperation. The Neutral Expert's resolution
                    shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.


               d.   The Pipeline Estimate or Animation Pipeline Estimate, as
                    applicable, for any quarter shall be deemed to reflect any
                    objections thereto resolved pursuant to the foregoing
                    procedure and any necessary adjustment to the amount of the
                    Advance or Animation Advance, as applicable, resulting from
                    such resolution shall be made within 5 days in accordance
                    with the procedures of Paragraphs VIII.4 and VIII.5 above.


               e.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, Universal shall not be
                    entitled to deliver an Objection Notice and trigger the
                    procedures described above if any Pipeline Estimate
                    delivered by DW or Animation Pipeline Estimate provided by
                    DWA reflects (solely for Pipeline Released Pictures or
                    Animation Pipeline Released Pictures, as applicable) (i) as
                    to the Pipeline Estimate, a Pipeline Estimate greater than
                    or equal to ***, or (ii) as to the Animation Pipeline
                    Estimate, an Animation Pipeline Estimate greater than or
                    equal to ***.

                    fiscal quarter in which the Advance and Animation Advance
                    are both repaid in full (each such date, a "Payment Date"),
                    (i) DW shall pay to Universal by wire transfer in
                    immediately available funds an amount in cash equal to the
                    Additional Amount (as defined below) for each date from and
                    including the preceding Payment Date until but excluding
                    such Payment Date, and (ii) DWA shall pay to Universal by
                    wire transfer in immediately available funds an amount in
                    cash equal to the Animation Additional Amount (as defined
                    below) for each date from and including the preceding
                    Payment Date until but excluding such Payment Date. In
                    addition, all accrued and unpaid Additional Amounts or
                    Animation Additional Amounts shall accrue at a rate of 8.75%
                    per year. For purposes hereof, (I) the "Additional Amount"
                    means an amount equal to an annualized rate on the Advance
                    Amounts outstanding from time to time of 8.75% per year, and

                    outstanding from time to time of 8.75% per year. Without
                    limitation of its other rights and remedies hereunder,
                    Universal shall be entitled to set off and apply an amount
                    equal to any DW Adjustment if not paid when due and/or any
                    accrued but unpaid Additional Amounts or Animation
                    Additional Amounts not paid when due against, and recoup
                    such DW Adjustment amount, Additional Amounts or Animation
                    Additional Amounts from, any amounts owed to DW in
                    accordance with the Agreement; provided, however, that any
                    DW Adjustment or Additional Amounts may be recouped only
                    against Aggregate Receipts for [Motion] Pictures other than
                    Animated Pictures, and that any DW Animation Adjustment or
                    Animation Additional Amounts may be recouped only against
                    Aggregate Receipts for Animated Pictures.

                    Term of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, and (ii) the end of the Term
                    of Exhibit A or Exhibit B (if such Term ends after December
                    31, 2006 other than on the last day of a year), the
                    cumulative Aggregate Fees paid to Universal by DW since
                    January 1, 2006 through the end of such calendar year or end
                    of the Term of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, shall
                    be calculated. Each such calculation shall be an "Interest
                    Credit Calculation" and the period covered by such Interest
                    Credit Calculation is the "Interest Credit Calculation

                          such credit determined as a result of the foregoing is
                          the "Interest Credit"). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                          the maximum aggregate amount of all Interest Credits
                          which can be earned under this Paragraph VIII.7.b.
                          shall not exceed the Interest Credit Cap. The
                          "Interest Credit Cap" is a dollar amount equal to ***
                          per annum of the aggregate amount of the Advance
                          Amount and Animation Advance Amount outstanding from
                          time to time during the relevant Interest Credit
                          Calculation Period.


                  (ii)    If at the time of any Interest Credit Calculation any
                          Interest Credits are outstanding (i.e., have
                          previously been made and not reversed), and the

                          immediately preceding Interest Credit Calculation
                          Period (or, no Interest Credit is available under the
                          most recent Interest Credit Calculation), DW and DWA
                          shall be entitled to retain only that amount of
                          outstanding Interest Credits, if any, also available
                          under the most recent Interest Credit Calculation and
                          shall repay to Universal (in addition to any other AAA
                          Amounts due and payable at such time) an amount equal
                          to the difference between the Interest Credit
                          allocable to it (if any) calculated for the most

                          Period.

By way of illustration of this Paragraph VIII.7.b.:


            -     If as shown in Interest Credit Calculation for the Interest
                  Credit Calculation Period ended December 31, 2006, Universal
                  has received *** in Aggregate Fees for such Interest Credit
                  Calculation Period, DW and DWA, collectively, would be
                  entitled to a *** Interest Credit against the 2006 AAA
                  Amount. This would either be credited against any 2006 AAA

                  paid, Universal would repay *** million to DW and *** to

                  Period ended *** would be reversed and DW would pay Universal
                  *** corresponding to such reversal, and DWA would pay
                  Universal ***, in each case in addition to all other AAA
                  Amounts due in ***.

                  payable by DW for *** and against previous years' AAA Amounts
                  to the extent necessary, but subject in all cases to the
                  Interest Credit Cap.



            8.    Repayment of Advance Amount, Animation Advance Amount,
Additional Amounts, Animation Additional Amounts. The Advance Amount, the
Animation Advance Amount, plus all accrued and unpaid AAA Amounts shall become
immediately due and payable upon the date (the "Due Date") which is the earliest
to occur of (x) the first Termination Date, (y) December 31, 2010 and (z) the
*** day after a Payment Default (if such Payment Default has not been cured by
such date). Following the Due Date, Universal shall have no further obligations

or to DWA under this Agreement or the Interparty Agreement among DW, DWA and

and DWA shall have the right but not the obligation after December 31, 2010, to
prepay all or any portion of the Advance Amount, Animation Advance Amount,
Additional Amounts and Animation Additional Amounts and on the payment in full
