     C. KSC has the legal right and authority to commit Cohl to (i) supply and furnish his services to the Companies upon the terms described herein and (ii) honor the non-disclosure, non-compete, non-hire and other protective covenants set forth herein.

     D. Upon the terms and provisions contained herein, (i) KSC commits to provide the services of Cohl to the Companies, (ii) the Companies agree to engage the services of Cohl to be so supplied by KSC and (iii) Cohl joins in the execution hereof to indicate his consent to the provisions hereof and for the other purposes stated herein.

All employees of each of the Companies shall report directly to Cohl, unless otherwise directed by Cohl.

     (b) Duties and Authority. Subject to Section 2(c) hereof, KSC will cause Cohl to perform job duties for each Company that are usual and customary for the position of Chief Executive Officer and will perform additional services and duties that any of the Companies may from time to time designate that are consistent with the usual and customary duties of such position, including, without limitation, the preparation and presentation of a proposed annual operating budget to each of the Boards for their approval that will include detailed information for the fixed costs of the Companies and detailed operating projections for each of the CPI Business Lines (as that term is defined in Section 17(b) hereof). Cohl will be vested with the authority and responsibility to direct and manage the day-to-day operations of each of the Companies, which will include the authority, on behalf of the Companies, to do each and all of the following:

     (i) seek opportunities for projects in the CPI Business Lines without restriction or limitation for presentation to the applicable Board for its consideration;

     (ii) promote and execute those global tours of music concerts that meet the 75% Test (as that term is defined in the Securityholders Agreement (the "Securityholders Agreement") dated the date hereof, among the Companies, their stockholders or members and the other parties thereto, as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time), subject to the aggregate limitation on financing available pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), dated as of the date hereof, among the Companies, as borrowers, SFX Entertainment, Inc., as lender, and LN, as guarantor of the lender's obligations, as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time; and

4.

NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

     During the Actual Term, the Companies and LN (or its affiliates) will provide KSC and Cohl with access to certain confidential information, trade secrets, and other matters which are of a confidential or proprietary nature, including but not limited to the customer lists, pricing information, production and cost data, compensation and fee information, strategic business plans, budgets, financial statements, and other information that the Companies, their respective subsidiaries, LN and LN's affiliates (collectively, the "Company Group") treat as confidential or proprietary (collectively the "Confidential Information"). The Company Group provides and shall provide on an ongoing basis such Confidential Information which is reasonably necessary or desirable to aid KSC and Cohl in the delivery of the services contemplated hereunder. KSC understands and acknowledges that such Confidential Information is confidential and proprietary, and agrees that neither KSC nor Cohl shall disclose such Confidential Information to anyone outside the Company Group except to the extent that (i) KSC or Cohl deems such disclosure or use reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with performing services on behalf of

the Companies in a manner consistent with the provisions and requirements hereof; (ii) KSC or Cohl is required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction (by subpoena or similar process) to disclose or discuss any Confidential Information, provided that in such case, KSC or Cohl, as applicable, shall promptly inform the Company of such event, shall cooperate with the Companies in attempting to obtain a protective order or to otherwise restrict such disclosure, and shall only disclose Confidential Information to the minimum extent necessary to comply with any such court order; (iii) such Confidential Information becomes generally known to and available for use in the industries in which the Companies do business, other than as a result of any action or inaction by KSC or Cohl; or (iv) the Confidential Information is furnished or disclosed to KSC or Cohl by a third party who came by it rightfully and is under no obligation of confidence to any of the Company Group. At the end of the Actual Term, KSC shall, and will cause Cohl to, immediately turn over to the Companies all Confidential Information, including papers, documents, writings, electronically stored information, other property, and all copies of them. This nondisclosure covenant is binding on KSC and Cohl, as well as their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and assigns, and will survive the termination of this Agreement. KSC agrees that LN is an express beneficiary of the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Section 4, to the extent that such covenants and restrictions apply to or protect the Confidential Information of LN or its affiliates, and that LN may directly enforce such covenants and restrictions in its own name and for its own account without the prior approval or consent of the Companies.

5. PROTECTIVE COVENANTS. To further preserve the rights of the Companies pursuant to the nondisclosure covenant set forth in Section 4 above, and for the consideration promised by the Companies under this Agreement and for the further consideration being received of even date herewith, directly or indirectly, by Cohl pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition, and as a necessary and express condition precedent to the closing of the Acquisition, KSC and Cohl commit and agree with the Companies and with LN as follows:

     (a) Non-Hire Covenant. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(e) hereof, during the Applicable Period, KSC and Cohl will not, and KSC will not permit Cohl to, directly or indirectly, (i) hire any employee of the Company Group or any person that was employed by the Company Group within six months immediately preceding such hiring; (ii) solicit or encourage any employee of the Company Group to terminate their employment with the Company Group; or (iii) solicit or encourage any employee of the Company Group or any person that was employed by the Company Group within the six months immediately preceding such solicitation or encouragement to accept employment with any business, operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity with which Cohl may be associated in any capacity.

     (b) Non-Compete Covenant. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(e) hereof, during the Applicable Period, KSC and Cohl will not, and KSC will not permit Cohl to, directly or indirectly, as an owner, director, principal, agent, officer, employee, partner, consultant, servant, or otherwise, carry on, operate, manage, control, or become involved in any manner with any business, operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity which is in the same business as any of the CPI Business Lines in any location in which the Company Group operates during the Actual Term, including any area within a 50-mile radius of any such location. The foregoing shall not prohibit KSC or Cohl from owning up to 5.0% of the outstanding stock of any publicly held company.

     (c) Protection of Certain Company Group Relationships. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(e) hereof, during the Applicable Period, KSC and Cohl will not, and KSC will not permit Cohl to, directly or indirectly, either for their own respective account or for any other business, operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity, call upon or solicit the acquisition of, or otherwise acquire, rights from either U2 or Madonna to promote a tour of musical events or grant of

any other rights from either of such artists; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply at any time after Arthur Fogel is no longer an employee of, or consultant to, the Company Group.

     (d) Reasonableness of Restrictions. KSC and Cohl agree that the restrictions contained in this Section 5 are reasonable in scope and duration and are necessary to protect the business interests of the Companies and the Confidential Information. If any provision of this Section 5 as applied to any party or to any circumstance is adjudged by a court or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable, the same will in no way affect any other circumstance or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. If any such provision, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration, or geographic area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court or arbitrator making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope and/or duration and/or geographic area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. KSC and Cohl agree and acknowledge that the breach of any provision in this Section 5 will cause irreparable damage to the Companies and/or the Company Group, and upon any such breach, the Companies shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief; provided, however, that this shall in no way limit any other remedies which the Companies may have (including, without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages).

     (e) Exceptions to Protective Covenants. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Section 5, the covenants set forth herein shall be subject to the following exceptions, limitations and exclusions:

     (i) Notwithstanding Section 6(i) hereof, the covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in Section 5(a), (b) and (c) above will terminate and no longer apply after termination of this Agreement (x) by the Companies without Cause pursuant to Section 6(d) hereof, (y) by KSC with Good Reason pursuant to Section 6(e) hereof or (z) in accordance with Section 6(h) hereof.

     (ii) Throughout the Applicable Period, Cohl will have the right, in his sole and absolute discretion, to render services to the Rolling Stones ("R/S Services") at any time during the Applicable Period for his own account on and subject to the following terms, conditions and provisions:

     (A) KSC must provide, or cause Cohl to provide, written notice to the Companies setting forth (x) a reasonably detailed description of the R/S Services that will be rendered to the Rolling Stones and (y) a detailed summary of all compensation to be received by Cohl, directly or indirectly, in connection with, arising out of or relating to such R/S Services;

     (B) Cohl's business time and effort devoted to R/S Services shall not materially interfere with his obligations under this Agreement (including his required time and attention pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof) and, in any event, shall not exceed eight hours per week on average.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed by KSC, for itself and on behalf of Cohl, that R/S Services shall be limited to the provision of management, consulting or similar services for a fee only and shall not include any type of arrangement that would be comparable to, or otherwise constitute, the acquisition of rights from the Rolling Stones to promote a tour of musical events or otherwise own, pursue or exploit the grant of any rights from the Rolling Stones.

     (iii) Throughout the Applicable Period, Cohl will have the right, in his sole and absolute discretion, to pursue the development, production, presentation, touring or operation of any project within the CPI Business Lines that satisfies all of the following terms, provisions and conditions:

     (A) Such project must have been presented to the Companies in a written proposal (the "Project Proposal") containing all of the material business terms and conditions related to such project;

     (B) Cohl must have supplied any additional details and back-up material and information that may have been reasonably requested by any of the Companies within fourteen (14) days following delivery of the Project Proposal (all such additional details and back-up material, along with the Project Proposal, being herein called the "Project Proposal Supplement"); and

     (C) The Companies must have declined to pursue such project, with the understanding that each Company shall be deemed to have declined to pursue any project for which it has not affirmatively made a commitment to Cohl to pursue within fourteen (14) days after the later of (x) receipt of a written notice from Cohl that requests such a commitment and (y) delivery to the Companies of the Project Proposal or, if applicable, the Project Proposal Supplement.

If the terms of any such project should be changed so as to be materially more favorable in the aggregate to Cohl in advance of his committing (directly or indirectly) to engage in such project than when it was last presented to the Companies in the Project Proposal or the Project Proposal Supplement, as applicable, then Cohl must present a revised Project Proposal to the Companies and provide the Companies another opportunity to commit to pursue such project for their own account as if such revised Project Proposal was the initial Project Proposal for such project; provided, that the fourteen day periods referred to in Sections 5(d)(iii)(B) and 5(d)(iii)(C) hereof shall be deemed five (5) business day periods in connection therewith.

     (f) LN as Express Beneficiary. KSC agrees that LN is an express beneficiary of the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Section 5, to the extent that such covenants and restrictions apply to or protect LN or its affiliates, and that LN may directly enforce such covenants and restrictions in its own name and for its own account without the prior approval or consent of the Companies.

SCHEDULE 3(c)
Company Policies –
Travel / Entertainment / Gifts / Charity Contributions

 

Employees who incur reasonable and necessary expenses while carrying out authorized business assignments will be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket costs in accordance with the following guidelines. Note that each Live Nation division may provide additional, more stringent guidance on certain aspects of the policies contained herein. You should familiarize yourself with all applicable policies before incurring costs with any expectation of being reimbursed by Live Nation.

 

Travel Reservations

Air travel, car rentals and lodging must be booked on-line using Live Nation's travel agency. The preferred agency is Expedia. You can book your travel by going to http://corporate.expedia.com. Please refer to the Expedia Quick Reference Guide for easy instructions on how to book your travel on line. If you do not have a log on go to: https://www.expediacorporate.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=gsre

Live Nation has negotiated volume discounts with preferred travel partners, such as Continental, American, United, Northwest, Delta, etc. Although these agreements are in place, you should consider choosing lower non-refundable or penalty-type fares when appropriate, though it is recognized that the nature of business travel sometimes precludes usage of such fares.

If booking car rental only, no air, go to http://avis.com/members/B882700.html to book your car reservation.

Reservation Changes and Cancellations

If your travel plans are canceled, please notify the agency as soon as possible. All requests for reservation changes should be directed to the travel office at corptravel@customercare.expedia.com. Or call or designated Expedia Travel Agents at 1-800-559-4809. Be aware that when you call Expedia to change or cancel your travel, you will be charged an additional fee, plus any airline fees that may apply.

Expense Reports

For reimbursement of business expenses, employees are to submit a Live Nation standard Expense Report within 30 days after the expense was paid using Extensity.

Extensity allows the user to create Expense Reports using a web based software product. A workflow is built into the software that electronically routes the document for approvals, accounting and accounts payable review prior to being uploaded to the financial software for payment. Managers are notified via email when an employee has submitted an Expense Report for review. American Express Corporate Card users will be able to "import" business charges into an Expense Report. Once approved, all Amex business charges will be paid directly to Amex by Live Nation every week. Employees must still submit original paper receipts attached to a summary print out from the software and route these to Accounts Payable in Houston. The software includes proxy features that will allow the user to

designate an assistant to create documents (the owner must login and submit) and to delegate approval authority when out of the office.

Original receipts (or other supporting documentation if an original receipt is unavailable) should be submitted to substantiate expenses; expenses greater than $25 will not be reimbursed without such documentation. For air travel, the e-ticket confirmation or the original receipt and boarding passes must be submitted with your Expense Report. To facilitate filing and imaging, receipts and other supporting documentation must be taped to an 8 ¹/2 x 11-inch piece of paper prior to submission.

After completing the Expense Report, you must sign it to affirm the authenticity of the expenses and your compliance with these guidelines.

Air Travel

Live Nation has a designated travel agency Expedia for booking corporate travel on-line. The Expedia on-line booking tool, must be used for all business related travel, unless otherwise approved by management.

The approved class of service for airfares for all Live Nation employees (with the exception of those on the 1st Class List) is coach or economy class. Business class upgrades are allowed on trips of at least 3 hours continuous airtime. First class travel must be authorized in advance by Division Head.

Guidelines for Booking Lowest Airfare

Employees are expected to utilize the lowest, most logistically reasonable fare available in the authorized class of service without unreasonably compromising personal comfort, safety or schedules, and using direct flights when available. Travelers may not request specific airlines when making reservations, as lower fares may be available on other airlines. The system will offer the lowest airfare available that meets the traveler's schedule criteria.

Advance Purchase and Restricted Use Tickets

Reservations should be made as far in advance as possible (14 days in advance is ideal) as this allows for the greatest potential cost savings (based on advance purchase discounts).

Group and Meeting Travel

Group and meeting fares that result in savings from five to fifty percent are generally offered by U.S. airlines if at least eight to ten passengers are traveling to the same destination. When travel requirements or meetings fit this profile, travel arrangements for attendees should be coordinated through our travel office. The travel office will contact the airlines and obtain the best rates available based on information provided by the coordinator.

Form of Payment

Airfare reservations must be charged to the Company's corporate account or an employee's company-issued credit card, where applicable.

Ticketless Air Travel

Travelers are encouraged to use "ticketless" air travel when offered by the carrier. Ticketless air travel saves delivery charges and other costs and eliminates the risk of lost or stolen tickets.

Schedule 3(c)
Page 2

Unused Tickets

Unused tickets and portions of unused tickets should be returned to the travel office once it is determined they will not be used. Portions of unused tickets should be returned as soon as the employee returns from the applicable trip. Travelers should also notify the travel office of unused or partially used "ticketless" travel reservations once it is determined they will not be used.

Airline Vouchers

Airline vouchers should be applied to airline travel when feasible. Based on the ticket value, vs. the value of the voucher, it will be determined if a voucher should be used. The voucher inventory will be posted regularly in the policies section of the intranet. Submit your Expedia itinerary to Jeanine Allen via fax at 1-866-758-5988. Include your name, business mailing address and business phone number. Jeanine Allen will respond to you within 24 hours with your confirmation for voucher and DHL tracking number. Once you receive the voucher, book your trip and e-mail Jeanine your flight confirmation.

Ground Transportation

You should select the most cost effective means of transportation when traveling to an airport; parking will only be reimbursed to the extent it does not exceed the cost of a taxicab, and vice-versa.

Limousine services are restricted except in the limited instances. Taxis are the preferred mode of transportation.

Rental cars will be approved only when taxicabs would prove less economical for the stay in each city. A midsize car is the company standard. Fuel surcharges and/or excessive fuel charges imposed by rental car companies for not refueling the vehicle should be avoided.

While on Live Nation business, employees do not need to purchase any insurance coverage offered by rental car companies since such coverage is provided under a separate Live Nation policy. Please make certain that the Live Nation, Inc. name appears on the rental car agreement for insurance compliance purposes.

For the convenience of its employees, Live Nation allows personal cars to be used for business travel if the employee has a valid driver's license and maintains the lawful minimum in liability insurance. Transportation costs incurred while using your personal car for business will be reimbursed at the Live Nation approved mileage rate not to exceed the IRS allowable rate. The approved mileage rate is currently $0.405 per mile effective January 1, 2005. If approved for reimbursement, the mileage rate for employees with car allowances or a Company car is $0.07 cents per business mile. The Expense Report worksheet available on the Intranet will be updated periodically to reflect changes in the allowable rate. Mileage reimbursement at the reduced car allowance rate requires manual calculation. If you leave from home to a destination other than your office on a business day, you will only be reimbursed for any mileage in excess of the mileage you would have normally driven to the office.

Automobile Accidents

Schedule 3(c)
Page 3

If you are involved in a car accident while renting an automobile, the first thing to do is to determine the extent of driver and passenger injuries. If the accident is a fender bender, emergency medical care might not be necessary. However, when in doubt, call an ambulance.

Next, call the police. The police will advise you whether it's required to move the crashed vehicles from moving traffic, and an investigating officer will take statements of the drivers and passengers involved.

Make sure to exchange insurance information with the other drivers involved. If another driver gives you an insurance ID card, check its date to make sure coverage is in force. In addition, get names and phone numbers of witnesses. Although it's not your job to investigate the accident, getting witness contact information can make the insurer's and investigating officer's jobs easier.

You also should get the investigating officer's contact information for future reference. The officer's report is not available at the accident scene.

Finally, as soon as practical, please immediately contact Live Nation's Risk Management group and relay all of the information to them, so that they can file the claim to the appropriate parties.

Lodging

The Company reimburses, upon presentation of supporting receipts, the actual costs (including taxes) of a single room accommodation when away from home on Company business. Employees should select lodging that is well established, reasonable in price, typically occupied by business travelers and conveniently located to work assignment. Employees should use suites, club level rooms, and other similar high priced lodging only when necessary to meet business needs and only when approved in advance by the Division Head or SVP of Finance.

Employees should seek opportunities to minimize the cost of lodging. The Company has corporate rates established at many frequently used hotels.

Cancellation- The ultimate responsibility for canceling hotel reservations rests with the traveler. When canceling guaranteed reservations, a record should be made of the cancellation number or the name of the hotel employee taking the cancellation. This procedure helps resolve "no show" billing disputes.

Phone Charges- Long-distance telephone calls from hotel rooms should be charged to a telephone credit card or cell phone whenever possible.

Business Meals

Local business meal reimbursements should be limited to client or potential client entertainment for business purposes. Purchasing casual lunches or dinners for yourself and your co-workers is not considered a business expense, except for management meetings with employees over meals, during which time legitimate company business is conducted.

Out-of-Town Meals (Other Than Entertainment)

Live Nation will reimburse you for reasonable meal costs incurred when you travel overnight on business. When meals are purchased for other employees, these expenses must be

Schedule 3(c)
Page 4

documented in the Entertainment section on page 2 of the expense report listing the names of all persons attending.

For your health, well-being and the company bottom line, alcoholic beverages should be purchased in moderation.

Since meal reimbursements are based on actual costs, no per diems are allowed unless previously approved.

Personal Property

Please ensure that you safeguard company property, your valuables and other personal items while traveling. The Company assumes no liability or responsibility for the damage, theft or other loss of your personal property. The applicability of this policy will be evaluated on an individual and circumstance basis by the Division CEO and Human Resource department.

International Travel

For US based employees, expenses supported by receipts in a foreign currency must be converted to U. S. Dollars on the face of the receipt and transcribed accordingly to the Expense Report.

The foreign exchange rate used must also be documented. Descriptions must be provided for any miscellaneous hotel or other charges for which the English translation is not easily identifiable or the expense may be subject to disallowance.

VAT and GST taxes included in hotel, airfare or car rental charges must be segregated and categorized in the "Miscellaneous" section of the expense report to allow for correct account coding.

Credit Cards

Live Nation has negotiated a corporate credit card program with American Express to obtain credit cards for employees who travel frequently. If an American Express Card (the "card") is made available to you, it must be used whenever reasonably possible to pay for valid business expenses.

You are personally responsible for reconciling your monthly billing statement and paying American Express promptly for all charges incurred. If you are delinquent in paying your bills to American Express, your charge privileges will be suspended or the Card will be canceled. (Note that Live Nation will not reimburse finance charges and late fees.) Live Nation receives monthly reports on all American Express Corporate Cardmember accounts and will monitor individual spending and payment activities. Account delinquency or other misuse of Card privileges will subject the employee to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.

You must return the Card to your local Live Nation Corporate Card program administrator upon termination of employment or whenever specifically requested to do so.

Cash Advances

Schedule 3(c)
Page 5

Because frequent travelers may pay expenses with the Card, cash advances from Live Nation are strongly discouraged. If you must obtain a cash advance, you must submit an approved check request to Accounts Payable at least two weeks before the time cash is needed. All advances over $200, must be approved by the Division's Vice President of Finance. The Chief Accounting Officer of Live Nation must also approve advances in excess of $1000.

Receipts to be reimbursed must support advances. Advances should also be deducted on your next Expense Report. If your travel is canceled or postponed, the advance must be returned to Accounts Payable within three (3) business days of the cancellation or postponement.

Other Expenses

Reasonable laundry costs will be reimbursed if your business travel requires you to be away from home for more than four (4) consecutive days.

Undocumented tips, tolls and taxis are limited to $20 per day. Restaurant tips should not exceed 15% of the cost of the meal.

You should seek the advance approval of your manager before incurring costs if there is any question about such costs being deemed reasonable and necessary business expenses. Questionable costs might include gifts, club dues or fees, and spousal travel. Similarly, you should seek advance approval if there is any question about your authority to purchase goods or services. Examples of goods and services that you should not purchase without advance approval are computer hardware and software, computer repair services, and office supplies.

Entertainment and Gifts

Live Nation will reimburse you for certain ordinary and necessary costs incurred to entertain vendors, clients, customers and other business associates. Such costs will be reimbursed only if the entertainment has a clear business purpose and either (1) takes place in a clear business setting or (2) directly precedes, includes or follows a substantial business discussion. In this regard, you should sufficiently document the business purpose of the entertainment expense on the Expense Report.

Insufficient documentation can result in these expenses being reclassified as taxable compensation to the employee or disallowed altogether.

Supervisors are to exercise strict discretion in approving these expenses. The majority of these costs cannot be deducted for corporate tax purposes under current tax law.

Charity Contributions

All Charitable Contributions, on behalf of or represented as Live Nation, are to be approved by Division Head prior to providing to said charity.

See Charitable Contribution Request Form on Live Nation Intranet for instructions.
