1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
August 3, 2026, Venu Holding Corporation (the “Company”) executed and entered into a Ticketing Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with Ticketmaster L.L.C. (“Ticketmaster”; together with the Company, the “Parties”). Under the
Agreement, Ticketmaster will serve as the exclusive ticketing agent for the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
the Agreement. The following description summarizes certain material terms of the Agreement. Capitalized terms that are used but not
defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.
Term
and Termination. The initial term of the Agreement (the “Term”) will continue until five years after the latest
opening date among the amphitheaters the Company is developing in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, McKinney, Texas, and El Paso, Texas (collectively,
the “Amphitheaters”), where “opening date” means the date the applicable Amphitheater first holds a ticketed
Attraction. Thereafter, the Term will automatically renew for successive five-year periods until either Party provides timely written
notice of its intent not to renew the Agreement. The Agreement can be terminated by either Party upon certain specified events, including
a material breach of the Agreement by the other Party that remains uncured following the notice and cure period set forth in the Agreement
or the other Party experiencing a Material Financial Event. In addition, Ticketmaster may terminate the Agreement in certain circumstances
involving the Company’s infringement of Ticketmaster’s or a third party’s Intellectual Property or other property rights.
Exclusive
Ticketing Agent. During the Term, Ticketmaster will act as an agent for the Company and serve as the Company’s exclusive ticket
seller through Ticketmaster’s ticketing platform (the “TM System”) for all Attractions held at the Amphitheaters
up to the full admission capacity for any particular Attraction, provided that with respect to any Attraction at any Amphitheater, the
Company retains the right to (i) sell tickets in person from the Amphitheater’s box office to any person physically present, (ii)
conduct sales of tickets to groups consisting of at least 15 people who intend to attend the Attraction as a group, and (iii) provide
a reasonable number of House Seats to the Attraction’s promoter, performing act, or their managers or agents, for use by fan clubs,
or for other legitimate promotional purposes. The Company agrees not to use or permit third-party ticketing systems or services without
Ticketmaster’s consent, except through Ticketmaster-authorized distribution partners. If Ticketmaster fails to offer or timely
implement new ticketing or distribution technology that has become widely adopted in the market by other leading ticket distribution
platforms, the Company may utilize a third party solely for those services or functionality, subject to certain conditions.
No
Minimum Sales. Neither Ticketmaster nor the Company has made or will make any guarantee that any minimum or fixed number of tickets
will be sold through the TM System for any Attraction.
Charges
and Fees. The Agreement establishes the fees and charges applicable to ticket sales and related services, including the following:
● Convenience
Charges. The Company will determine the per-ticket Convenience Charge that each customer
pays when purchasing a ticket through the TM System. The Company will retain the Convenience
Charges up to a specified per-ticket, per-transaction threshold (the “Convenience
Cap”), with any Convenience Charges in excess of the Convenience Cap to be allocated
between the Parties in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
● Inside
Charges. The Company must pay Ticketmaster a fixed Inside Charge for every ticket
sold through Ticketmaster’s distribution channels. The per-ticket Inside Charge will
increase by a fixed amount each Contract Year of the Term. No Inside Charge is assessed on
tickets sold by the Company at an Amphitheater box office.
● Archtics
Transaction Fees. The Company must pay Ticketmaster certain Archtics Transaction
Fees related to the use of Ticketmaster’s Archtics ticketing platform. The Archtics
Transaction Fees will either be deducted from amounts owed to the Company under the Agreement
or separately assessed against the Company.
● Software
Transaction Fees. If the Company charges software-related transaction fees to season
or contract ticketholders through the Company’s account-management platform, the Company
may retain such fees in an amount not to exceed the applicable Archtics Transaction Fees,
with any software fees in excess of the applicable Archtics Transaction Fees to be allocated
between the Parties in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
● Payment
Processing Fees. The Company must pay specified payment authorization, payment processing,
and merchant fees (collectively, “Processing Fees”) for transactions processed
through Ticketmaster’s payment-processing system, which are calculated as a fixed percentage
of the gross transaction value. The Company is also permitted to adjust applicable Convenience
Fees to include such Processing Fees.
Settlement
of Ticket Receipts. Ticketmaster will collect the proceeds from ticket sales and remit to the Company, on a weekly basis, the applicable
Ticket Receipts owed to the Company with respect to each Amphitheater. Under the Agreement, “Ticket Receipts” generally consist
of the face value of each ticket sold together with any fees added to the face value that are retained by the Company, less applicable
Inside Charges, Processing Fees, and applicable taxes remitted by Ticketmaster.
Hardware
Credit. Ticketmaster is required to provide the Company with a one-time Hardware Credit to be applied against Ticketmaster’s
purchase of certain Hardware to be used by the Company in connection with the Agreement. Any unused portion of the Hardware Credit will
be forfeited upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement. The Hardware Credit has no cash value and will not be payable directly
to the Company. If Ticketmaster’s purchase of hardware for the Company exceeds the Hardware Credit, the Company must pay Ticketmaster
such excess amount or it will be deducted from the amounts otherwise owed to the Company under the Agreement.
Sponsorship
Allowance. Ticketmaster is required to pay the Company an annual Sponsorship Allowance, payable in quarterly installments, in the
amount specified in the Agreement for the applicable Contract Year. Ticketmaster’s payment of the Sponsorship Allowance is conditioned
on Ticketmaster’s right to sell a specified number of tickets each Contract Year (the “Allowance Threshold”).
In exchange for the Sponsorship Allowance, the Parties will mutually agree on a set of marketing and sponsorship assets for the Company
to provide each Contract Year to designate and promote Ticketmaster as the “Official Ticketing Partner/Marketplace” of the
Amphitheaters. The value of the marketing and sponsorship assets provided by the Company must be commensurate with the value of the Sponsorship
Allowance each Contract Year. If Ticketmaster has not sold at least the number of tickets equal to the applicable Allowance Threshold
at the end of any Contract Year (such remaining tickets, the “Shortfall Tickets”), the Sponsorship Allowance payable
to the Company in the next Contract Year will be reduced by an amount equal to the number of Shortfall Tickets multiplied by a fixed
fee (the “Shortfall Amount”), but there will be no corresponding reduction in the value of the sponsorship assets
to be provided by the Company in such Contract Year. If the applicable Allowance Threshold is not met in the final Contract Year of the
Agreement, or the Agreement is terminated early and the applicable Allowance Threshold for the then-current Contract Year is not met,
the Company must pay the Shortfall Amount directly to Ticketmaster.
Ticket
Resales. The Agreement provides for the Company’s participation in Ticketmaster’s TM+ ticket resale platform, which will
allow consumers searching for tickets to an Attraction to view tickets offered for initial sale by the Company alongside tickets offered
for resale from other consumers. The Company will be entitled to receive from Ticketmaster a fixed percentage of the Net Resale Revenue
collected by Ticketmaster on account of secondary market ticket sales through the TM+ platform (the “TM+ Revenue Share”).
The TM+ Revenue Share percentage that the Company will receive will be greater for Attractions that are promoted solely by the Company
than for Attractions that are not promoted solely by the Company. The TM+ Revenue Share will be paid to the Company on a monthly basis.
If an Attraction is cancelled, the Company must promptly repay any TM+ Revenue Share that it received from Ticketmaster.
License
and Use of the TM System. In exchange for Ticketmaster’s right to serve as the Company’s exclusive ticket seller, Ticketmaster
grants the Company a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the TM System and related Hardware, Software, materials, and services
in connection with Attractions held at the Amphitheaters. The Agreement also requires the Company to provide Ticketmaster with specified
event, ticketing, and venue information necessary to facilitate ticket sales, maintain certain operational and security procedures, and
comply with restrictions governing the Company’s use of the TM System. Ticketmaster will also provide hosting services, system
support, implementation assistance, and certain customization services, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in the Agreement.
Service
Commitment. Ticketmaster represents and warrants to the Company that during the Term, the TM System will operate and be maintained
in accordance with generally accepted industry practices and standards and shall be free of material interruptions in services, defects,
or bugs such that the TM System has an uptime of 99.5% or greater in each month during the Term, excluding any downtime for regularly
scheduled maintenance, enhancements, or repairs, or for circumstances beyond Ticketmaster’s reasonable control (the “Service
Commitment”). Ticketmaster’s failure to uphold the Service Commitment more than twice in a 12-month period will constitute
a material breach of the Agreement for which the Company is permitted to terminate the Agreement upon proving 30 days’ prior written
notice unless Ticketmaster addresses the cause of the failure during such 30-day period in a manner that provides reasonable assurance
that Ticketmaster will maintain the Service Commitment without an additional failure in the immediately succeeding six-month period.
Other
Customary Terms. In addition to the terms described above, the Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions of an agreement
of this nature, including provisions regarding confidentiality, indemnification, accounting procedures, tax collection, intellectual-property
ownership, insurance requirements, compliance with laws, force-majeure events, and customary representations and warranties.

TICKETING
AGREEMENT
THIS
TICKETING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into and made effective as of July 21, 2026 (“Effective Date”),
by and between Ticketmaster L.L.C., a Virginia limited liability company (“Ticketmaster”), and Venu Holding Corporation,
a Colorado corporation (“Principal”). This Agreement consists of this Ticketing Agreement and any Addenda, Exhibits
and/or Schedules attached which are incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. The meanings of capitalized terms used and not
otherwise defined within the provisions of this Agreement are set forth in Section 12. In consideration for the mutual promises and covenants
set forth below, the parties agree as follows:
1.
TERM. The initial term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue until five (5) years following
the opening date of the last to open of the Sunset Amphitheater Broken Arrow, Sunset Amphitheater McKinney, and Sunset Amphitheater El
Paso Facilities (the “Term”). Thereafter, the Term shall be automatically renewed for successive five (5) year periods
following the initial Term, unless either party notifies the other party in writing, not less than one-hundred eighty (180) nor more
than two hundred forty (240) days prior to the end of the initial Term or the then current renewal period, of its intention not to renew
this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, “opening date” means the first date on which a ticketed Attraction is held
at the applicable Facility. Each twelve (12) month period during the Term commencing on the opening date of the last to open of the Sunset
Amphitheater Broken Arrow, Sunset Amphitheater McKinney, and Sunset Amphitheater El Paso Facilities and continuing through one (1) day
before the anniversary of such date shall be a “Contract Year” as such term is used in this Agreement; provided, the
initial Contract Year shall commence on the Effective Date and continue through one (1) day before the first anniversary of the opening
date of the last to open of the Sunset Amphitheater Broken Arrow, Sunset Amphitheater McKinney, and Sunset Amphitheater El Paso Facilities.
The
parties acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, the anticipated opening dates of the Sunset Amphitheater Broken Arrow, Sunset Amphitheater
McKinney, and Sunset Amphitheater El Paso Facilities are 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if it
is determined that any one (1) of such three (3) Facilities will not open, then the initial Term shall continue through the date that
is five (5) years following the opening date of the last to open of the two (2) Facilities that do open, and (ii) if it is determined
that two (2) of such three (3) Facilities will not open, then the initial Term shall continue through December 31, 2033. “Determined
will not open” means the applicable Facility plans have been permanently abandoned,
and as a result, the Facility will not be opened as a ticketed entertainment venue.
2.
TICKET SALES RIGHTS; EXCLUSIVITY.
(a)
Grant of Rights: In consideration of the services provided by Ticketmaster and any compensation paid to Principal pursuant to
this Agreement, Principal grants to Ticketmaster, and Ticketmaster accepts from Principal, the right during the Term to be the exclusive
seller, as Principal’s agent, of all Tickets for the Sellable Capacity for every Attraction via any and all means and methods,
including on the Internet, via mobile application, by telephone, interactive voice response (IVR), computer, retail outlets, or by any
other means of distribution, whether existing now or at any time in the future. Principal shall ensure that the entire Sellable Capacity
for every Attraction is made available for distribution through the TM System.
(b)
Sales by Principal: Subject to the terms of this Section 2, Principal retains the right to: (i) sell Tickets for Attractions from
the Facility Box Office to persons physically present at the Facility Box Office; (ii) sell Season/Contract Tickets; (iii) conduct Group
Sales of Tickets; and (iv) provide a reasonable number of House Seats for any Attraction.
(c)
No Third-Party Systems or Services: Except as expressly permitted otherwise under this subsection (c) below, Principal shall not
directly or indirectly use, sponsor, promote, advertise, authorize or permit the use of any third party that promotes, engages in or
facilitates the sale, resale or issuance of tickets. Principal may sell, offer for sale, and distribute Tickets (including for unmanifested
seats) through the sales and marketing channels of Project Admission and/or any other third-party designated in writing by Ticketmaster
as a “TM Authorized Channel Distribution Partner” from time to time during the Term, in accordance with Ticketmaster’s
then current standard terms and conditions respecting such third-party channel partner sales. In addition, if at any time during the
Term Ticketmaster does not offer, or is unable to implement within a commercially reasonable period, new or emerging ticket sales or
distribution methods or technologies that are widely implemented by other leading primary ticket distribution platforms and that gain
market acceptance, then Principal may, upon prior written notice to Ticketmaster, utilize a third party solely for those services or
functionality; provided, any such third party arrangement shall not include ticketing services actually provided by Ticketmaster or services
Ticketmaster is able to provide; and provided further, Principal shall comply with all applicable data protection and confidentiality
obligations hereunder, as well as any integration requirements reasonably required by Ticketmaster.
1
(d)
No Minimum Sales: Neither Ticketmaster nor Principal guarantees or will guarantee that any minimum or fixed number of Tickets
will be sold through the TM System for any Attraction.
(e)
Acknowledgement by Principal: Principal acknowledges and agrees that Ticketmaster acts or may act as the agent of third parties
that may be direct or indirect competitors of Principal, and nothing in this Agreement prohibits Ticketmaster from entering into agreements
for similar services with any third parties, including parties in the entertainment and sports industries.
3.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS. In consideration for the licenses granted and services provided by Ticketmaster hereunder as an
agent of Principal, and any compensation paid to Principal pursuant to this Agreement, Ticketmaster shall be entitled to assess charges
and fees in the amounts set forth in Exhibit A, which charges and fees shall be assessed against consumers, except for Inside
Charges and, at Principal’s option, Archtics Transaction Fees, which shall be assessed against Principal. In the event applicable
law prohibits the assessment of any applicable fees against consumers, Ticketmaster and Principal shall agree on alternative means for
compensating Ticketmaster for its services in amounts reasonably comparable to those set forth in this Agreement and as permitted by
applicable law.
4.
LICENSE AND USE OF TM SYSTEM.
(a)
License: In consideration for the exclusive Ticket sales rights granted Ticketmaster under this Agreement, Ticketmaster grants
Principal a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the TM System in exchange for the fees set forth in this Agreement. The Hardware,
Software and related materials provided by Ticketmaster may only be used by Principal in connection with the Attractions for the purposes
stated in this Agreement, and may not be utilized by or in connection with services, software, equipment or systems provided by any third
party unless otherwise expressly permitted herein. Principal shall use the TM System in a careful and proper manner in compliance with
all applicable laws and regulations relating to the possession, use or maintenance of such Hardware and Software. Principal may make
a single copy of Archtics to be used solely for archival or backup purposes; copying for any other purpose is prohibited. Except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, Principal agrees not to: (i) permit copying or reproduction of the Hardware or Software in any manner, including
without limitation, use in a sharing arrangement or transmission over the Internet or similar electronic transmission; (ii) disassemble,
re-manufacture, repair, re-configure, enhance, upgrade, modify, translate, adapt, create derivative works from or of, decompile or reverse
engineer the Software, nor merge the Software into any other program; (iii) transfer, license or sub-license, assign, rent, sell, grant,
publish, disclose, display, dispose of or otherwise make available the Software, or any rights therein or copies or derivatives thereof,
including other templates or working systems; (iv) delete, remove, change or otherwise alter any Intellectual Property in or on the Hardware
or Software; (v) “hack,” or attempt to “hack,” the Software, the servers on which the Software is hosted or any
other portion of Ticketmaster’s network or systems, or otherwise attempt to circumvent or navigate outside of the borders of such
servers in any manner; and/or (vi) perform any SQL database operations other than “SELECT” for any system production tables
(i.e., tables starting with dba.t_<wildcard>) from any non-Archtics interface to the Archtics database (e.g., ISQL, Access, Crystal
Reports, etc.). In addition, use of the TM System by Principal shall be restricted to a reasonable number of Principal’s personnel
having passwords in the event Ticketmaster assigns such passwords. Such passwords shall not be transferable without the written consent
of Ticketmaster, not be unreasonably withheld. Upon Ticketmaster’s reasonable request, Principal shall identify, as the case may
be, the users (by name, position and site address) who access the TM System, and where and when such access occurs.
2
(b)
Attraction Set-Up: In order to effectively utilize Ticketmaster’s distribution technologies, within a reasonable time before
(but in no event less than the time periods described below) the scheduled on-sale date of Tickets for each Attraction (“On-Sale
Date”), Principal shall furnish Ticketmaster with all necessary information with respect to the Attraction, including seating
layout of the Facility, Ticket structure, permissible discounts, Attraction Taxes, Ticket header information, logos, entry information,
vision and hearing information, wheelchair and other accessible seating information, health and safety protocols and such other information
necessary for the proper sale of Tickets (collectively, “Set-Up Information”). The parties intend that all accessible
seating Tickets that are available for sale to persons requesting accessible seating shall be made available for sale on the TM System
and such accessible seating Tickets shall not be released into the general pool of Tickets that are available for sale until forty-eight
(48) hours before an Attraction. Principal shall be solely responsible for maintaining appropriate security and health and safety protocols
at the Facility for each Attraction. Principal must provide the Set-Up Information to Ticketmaster at least five (5) business days prior
to the On-Sale Date for new Attractions that do not utilize seating layouts then existing in the TM System, and at least three (3) business
days prior to the On-Sale Date for new Attractions that utilize seating layouts then existing in the TM System. Principal represents
and warrants that it has the right to use all names, logos, images and other creative materials provided to Ticketmaster in connection
with each Attraction. Ticketmaster shall have no liability for the foregoing content or inaccuracy of any Set-Up Information provided
by Principal.
(c)
Will-Call Services: Principal shall notify Ticketmaster of Principal’s will-call capabilities and Facility Box Office hours.
Principal shall verify the identity of each person picking up Tickets at will-call via a valid, government-issued photo identification
and, if required by applicable payment card association guidelines, the payment card used in the Ticket sales transaction.
(d)
Ticket Stock: Principal shall be responsible for the security of Ticket stock in its possession, and the risk of loss of any Ticket
stock provided by Ticketmaster shall shift to Principal upon delivery to Principal or Principal’s authorized representative, agent
or employee. Ticketmaster shall not be liable to Principal for the printing and sale of counterfeit Tickets by third parties.
(e)
Principal’s Website/Interface Page: Subject to the completion of the installation of Archtics, Ticketmaster will develop
and maintain the Interface Page that will enable Principal’s Subscribers to access their account information and conduct “real-time”
transactions by linking to the Interface Page from Principal’s Website. The Interface Page may contain a short, related textual
description of AccountManager features and a Ticketmaster designation.
(f)
Additional Archtics Services: With respect to implementation of Archtics, Ticketmaster shall provide Principal on-site support
from Ticketmaster’s national or regional personnel at no additional charge. In addition, upon request, Ticketmaster shall provide
Principal: (i) customized Archtics templates (e.g., diagrams, invoices, other executables, etc.), (ii) customized reporting, and (iii)
customized on-line assistance (clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, the “Customization Services”), for up to two (2)
hours per week at no additional charge. Any Customization Services requested by Principal in excess of such level of support may be charged
to Principal at Ticketmaster’s standard rates. Ticketmaster shall also maintain an archive of Principal’s Archtics database
for up to two (2) years in the online format of Principal’s then current Archtics version. Ticketmaster shall retain archives of
Principal’s Archtics database in excess of two (2) prior years in an offline format (i.e., not updated to Principal’s then
current Archtics version) to be stored at Ticketmaster’s data center; provided, at Principal’s request, Ticketmaster shall
extract data from such prior archives and deliver such data extracts to Principal.
(g)
Hosting Services: During the Term, Ticketmaster shall host the Archtics Software and provide and maintain the Hosting Services
on which the Archtics Software is installed and run, including provision of the physical environment, security, HVAC and power for the
required server equipment through which the Hosting Services are provided. Ticketmaster shall also provide access to the Archtics Software
via an Internet connection, and maintain network operation and availability from the public Internet up to the termination cables at
the network interface card on the Hosting Services’ server equipment; provided, Principal will be responsible for power and connectivity
to the Internet at Principal’s sites.
3
(h)
TM+ (Ticket Resale): Ticketmaster shall enable its integrated primary and secondary market ticketing sale/resale capabilities
which enable consumers searching for Tickets to an Attraction to simultaneously view Tickets available for initial sale directly by Principal
pursuant to this Agreement in addition to Tickets available for resale from other consumers (collectively, “TM+”),
in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit C.
(j)
Platinum Tickets and VIP Packages: The terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit D shall apply in connection with the sale
of Platinum Tickets and VIP Packages.
(k)
Service Commitment: Ticketmaster represents, warrants and covenants that during the Term the TM System will operate and be maintained
in accordance with generally accepted industry practices and standards, and shall be free of material interruptions in services, defects
or bugs such that the TM System has an uptime of 99.5% or greater in each month during the Term, excluding any downtime for regularly
scheduled maintenance, enhancements or repairs, or for circumstances beyond Ticketmaster’s reasonable control (“Service
Commitment”). Failure by Ticketmaster to meet the foregoing Service Commitment more than twice in a twelve (12) month period
shall be deemed a material breach in connection with which Principal is permitted to terminate the Agreement on not fewer than thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice, unless during such thirty (30) day period, Ticketmaster implements relevant patches or upgrades
to address the underlying cause of the failure in a manner to be reasonably assured that the Service Commitment will be maintained without
an additional failure in the immediately succeeding six (6) months.
5.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; ADVERTISING AND PURCHASER DATA.
(a)
Intellectual Property: Each party shall retain all right, title and interest in and to its respective Intellectual Property subject
to the limited license set forth below necessary to perform this Agreement. Principal’s Intellectual Property shall include the
names and logos of any Attraction or Facility, and any images and other creative materials provided by Principal in respect of any Attraction.
Each party grants the other a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable license during the Term to include such party’s pre-approved
Intellectual Property solely in connection with the advertising contemplated in this Agreement. Each party shall use the other’s
Intellectual Property only as provided and shall not alter the Intellectual Property in any way, nor shall it act or permit action that
would impair the rights of the other party in its Intellectual Property. Each party acknowledges that its use of the other party’s
Intellectual Property shall not create any right, title or interest in or to such Intellectual Property and shall inure to the benefit
of the other party, including any associated goodwill. Each party shall notify the other promptly in writing of any known infringement
of the other’s Intellectual Property. Any references to a party’s Intellectual Property shall contain the appropriate trademark,
copyright or other legal notice provided from time to time by the owning party.
(b)
Advertising:
(i)
Advertising on Tickets Fulfilled at Facility Box Office: For Tickets fulfilled by Principal at the Facility Box Office, Principal
shall either: (A) provide its own ticket stock and envelopes, or pay Ticketmaster to provide custom blank ticket stock and envelopes,
in which case Principal shall have the right to sell advertising on such ticket stock and envelopes, or (B) have Ticketmaster provide
Ticketmaster’s standard ticket stock and envelopes, in which case Ticketmaster shall have the right to sell advertising on such
ticket stock and envelopes.
(ii)
Ticketmaster Advertisements: Principal grants to Ticketmaster the right to advertise Attractions and the availability of Tickets
via Ticketmaster distribution channels in any form of media determined by Ticketmaster, including on the TM.com Website or affiliated
websites, and, in connection therewith, to use the Intellectual Property of Principal, the Attraction, the Facility and all other information
respecting the Attraction. Principal also grants to Ticketmaster the right to use the name and logo of Principal and Principal’s
Website address on the Interface Page.
4
(iii)
Principal Advertisements: During the Term, Principal may place advertisements in any form of media which Principal elects to promote
the Attractions and the availability of Tickets (except on media operated by, or on behalf of, third parties that engage in or facilitate
the sale, resale or issuance of tickets); provided, in the event Principal places or controls any such advertisements relating to the
availability of Tickets, it shall use its best efforts to cause Ticketmaster’s name logo to be displayed in the advertisement.
Principal shall cause Principal’s Website to deep-link to specified page(s) within the TM.com Website where consumers can initiate
the purchase of Tickets to Attractions. Principal shall further promote the availability of Tickets via Ticketmaster by including, at
minimum, a Ticketmaster-branded link to the TM.com Website on each web page featuring one or more Attractions on Principal’s Website.
(iv)
Ticketmaster Client Style Guide: The look and feel of any links from Principal’s Website to the Interface Page or the TM.com
Website are subject to Ticketmaster’s prior approval. Principal shall comply with the terms and conditions of Ticketmaster’s
Client Style Guide, as it may be updated from time to time.
(v)
Advertising Revenue: Ticketmaster and Principal shall separately receive and retain their respective income derived from advertising
which each is entitled to sell as provided above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Principal nor Ticketmaster will serve banner
advertisements or other promotional advertising units of any kind or allow any third party to serve any such advertising units on the
Interface Page, without the other party’s prior written consent.
(c)

and Ticketmaster’s Processing of the Purchaser Data shall be in compliance with Addendum 1.
6.
ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES.
(a)
Settlements by Ticketmaster:
(i)
Principal’s Account: All settlement funds payable to Principal hereunder will be remitted by Ticketmaster separately by
Facility. Principal authorizes Ticketmaster and the financial institution indicated in Exhibit E (“Bank”) to deposit
all settlement funds on a Facility-by-Facility basis and payable to Principal hereunder in the accounts (each a “Principal’s
Account”) identified on Exhibit E as it may be updated from time to time.
(ii)
Settlement Timing: Ticketmaster shall collect all Ticket Receipts derived from Ticket sales made by Ticketmaster and shall initiate
payment of Ticket Receipts to which Principal is entitled on Friday of each week with each weekly payment to be on account of Ticket
sales made by Ticketmaster during Monday through Sunday of the week preceding such payment date.
(iii)
Settlement Processing: Initiation of the settlement payment via direct deposit shall constitute full performance by Ticketmaster
of its obligation to make such settlement payment to Principal or to any person whatsoever. Principal releases Ticketmaster from liability
for delays or errors in such settlement payment which are beyond Ticketmaster’s reasonable control, including but not limited to
any errors resulting from any inaccurate or outdated Account information provided by Principal or bank processing delays, or for any
related damages. Principal acknowledges that direct deposit of such funds may require up to two (2) business days for Bank processing.
In the event of an error (e.g., if funds to which Principal is not entitled are deposited into Principal’s Account), Principal
authorizes Ticketmaster to direct the Bank to return said funds, or the initiation of a debit to Principal’s Account to correct
the error. Each weekly settlement payment shall be supported by a written accounting provided to Principal, which shall include the number
of Tickets sold by Facility, Ticket Receipts by Facility, and other information reasonably requested by Principal relating to such accounting
to the extent reasonably available in Ticketmaster’s standard reports. The direct deposit authorization provided above shall remain
in full force and effect until Ticketmaster receives reasonable advance written notice from Principal of its termination of such authorization.
5
(b)
Cancelled Attractions; Refunds: In the event any Attraction for which Ticketmaster sold Tickets is cancelled, postponed, or materially
modified (e.g., substitute acts) for any reason (each, a “Cancelled Attraction”), a portion of the Account Balance
sufficient to cover anticipated refunds shall be held and made available for distribution by Ticketmaster to Ticket purchasers entitled
to refunds for Tickets purchased from Ticketmaster. The term “Account Balance” shall mean the amount of funds held
at any time by Ticketmaster on account of Ticket sales for all Attractions, less the amount of Ticket sales proceeds which Ticketmaster
is entitled to retain hereunder. Principal authorizes Ticketmaster to refund the Ticket price in such manner (e.g., by crediting the
consumer’s payment card) and at such time (e.g., before or after the scheduled date of such Attraction) as Ticketmaster, in its
sole discretion, determines, and to exchange Tickets pursuant to any exchange policy that may be adopted by the parties. It is agreed
that Ticketmaster is the Ticket selling agent of Principal and therefore Ticketmaster’s agreement to make any refunds as the agent
of Principal is subject and limited to Ticketmaster holding or receiving from Principal the full amount of funds necessary to make refunds
to all Ticket purchasers properly entitled to a refund, and Principal will promptly remit to Ticketmaster any such funds received by
Principal in respect of Cancelled Attractions in order for Ticketmaster to process such refunds. Ticketmaster shall be entitled to retain
the Ticketmaster fees assessable with respect to the initial sale of Tickets to Cancelled Attractions. Principal shall be responsible
for all refunds and exchanges of Tickets initially purchased from the Facility Box Office.
(c)
Chargebacks: Ticketmaster may deduct from Principal’s settlement the portion of any Chargebacks that Ticketmaster is assessed
by its merchant bank related to the Face Value of Tickets and any other amounts due from Ticketmaster to Principal under this Agreement
for up to twelve (12) months after the occurrence of an Attraction. Ticketmaster shall be responsible for the remaining portion of any
Chargebacks, except to the extent caused by Principal’s failure to obtain signatures, swipe credit cards or follow any procedures
provided by Ticketmaster or the merchant bank with respect to acceptance of credit cards. “Chargebacks” mean the amounts
Ticketmaster’s merchant bank is charged back by a cardholder or a card issuer under the card organization’s rules (e.g.,
cardholder dispute, fraud, declined transaction, returned Tickets for Cancelled Attractions, etc.).
(d)
Insolvency; Deficiency Amounts: Principal shall provide immediate written notice to Ticketmaster in the event Principal experiences
any Material Financial Event. The parties agree that this Agreement constitutes a financial accommodation by Ticketmaster to Principal
as such term is utilized in 11 U.S.C. § 365. If at any time the Account Balance is not sufficient to pay for anticipated refunds
or Chargebacks (e.g., due to cancellations or postponements of one or more Attractions), Principal shall deliver the amount of such deficiency
(“Deficiency Amount”) to Ticketmaster no later than twenty-four (24) hours after notice by Ticketmaster to Principal.
Ticketmaster shall have the right to set off any Deficiency Amount against any amounts (any Facility) held by Ticketmaster on behalf
of Principal.
(e)
Security for Repayment: In the event of any Material Financial Event of Principal or in the event Principal has not paid any Deficiency
Amount when due, Ticketmaster shall have the option to require Principal to provide additional security to Ticketmaster of a type (e.g.,
letter of credit, guaranty or performance bond) and in an amount as requested by Ticketmaster in its reasonable discretion, which Principal
shall provide to Ticketmaster within five (5) business days after Ticketmaster’s request. Upon review of Principal’s creditworthiness
(including upon any Material Financial Event of Principal or where Principal has not paid any Deficiency Amount when due), Ticketmaster
shall have the option to suspend payment of Ticket Receipts in advance of the occurrence of Attractions and instead deliver Ticket Receipts
to which Principal is entitled post-performance (i.e., Friday of each week with respect to Attractions that occurred Monday through Sunday
of the week preceding such payment date).
(f)
Audit of Sales: During the Term, each party shall have the right at its own expense to audit Ticket sales for Attractions by the
other party to assure such party’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
6
7.
TAXES.
(a) Attraction

(i)
Face Value: With respect to Attraction Taxes applicable to the Face Value, Principal shall be responsible for calculating such
Attraction Taxes (and shall notify Ticketmaster of the correct tax rates used for purposes of calculating such Attraction Taxes), for
preparing and timely filing tax returns or reports required to be filed in respect of such Attraction Taxes, and for timely remitting
such Attraction Taxes to the applicable taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Ticketmaster is required by applicable
law to remit Attraction Taxes applicable to the Face Value of Tickets directly to the applicable taxing authority on behalf of Principal
and/or file related tax returns or reports (e.g., with respect to Attractions occurring in Texas, Louisiana or North Dakota (if any)),
Principal shall notify Ticketmaster of the correct tax rates for calculating the Attraction Taxes to be assessed and shall monitor Principal’s
Ticket sales audit reports to ensure that such Attraction Taxes have been properly calculated, and Ticketmaster shall be responsible
for collecting such Attraction Taxes at the rates designated by Principal (and if Principal has failed to so designate, Ticketmaster
shall use its good faith efforts to determine the applicable tax rate and shall use such rate to calculate and collect such Attraction
Taxes, subject to Principal’s payment obligations as set forth in subsection (b) below), for preparing and timely filing tax returns
or reports required to be filed in respect of such Attraction Taxes and for timely remitting such Attraction Taxes to the applicable
taxing authority.
(ii)
Consumer Fees: With respect to Attraction Taxes applicable to the charges and fees assessable against consumers in addition to
the Face Value (e.g., Convenience Charges, etc.), Ticketmaster shall be responsible for collecting such Attraction Taxes, for preparing
and timely filing tax returns or reports required to be filed in respect of such Attraction Taxes and for timely remitting such Attraction
Taxes to the applicable taxing authority.
(b)
Attraction Taxes – General Matters: In the event Ticketmaster pays to the applicable taxing authority any Attraction Taxes
which are not previously paid by Principal as required in this Agreement, or which are due to the inaccuracy or insufficiency of information
provided by Principal or a failure by Principal to provide Ticketmaster with the correct tax rate or valid tax exemption documentation,
Principal shall promptly reimburse Ticketmaster for such Attraction Taxes paid by Ticketmaster, including related penalties and interest
(other than Attraction Taxes, penalties and interest that Ticketmaster pays directly out of Principal’s Ticket Receipts), and shall
also promptly reimburse Ticketmaster for any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or damages that result from the failure
by Principal to properly calculate and timely remit Attraction Taxes imposed on Principal, to timely file related tax returns or reports,
or to timely reimburse Ticketmaster for such Attraction Taxes, interest and penalties as provided above.
(c)
Principal’s Tax Exemptions: Principal shall notify Ticketmaster in writing of any Principal tax exemptions (if applicable)
and timely provide Ticketmaster with a valid Attraction Taxes exemption certification or other exemption documentation required by the
applicable taxing authority.
(d)
Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification: Principal shall complete a Form W-9 and return it to Ticketmaster for purposes
of reporting to the Internal Revenue Service.

7
(c)

party may disclose Confidential Information to its directors, officers, employees, legal and financial advisors, controlling persons
and entities who need to know such information to perform such party’s obligations under this Agreement and who agree to treat
the Confidential Information in accordance with the confidential obligations in this Agreement. Each party shall use the same degree
of care to avoid disclosure or use of the other party’s Confidential Information as it employs with respect to its own Confidential
Information and represents that it has adequate procedures in place to protect the secrecy of such Confidential Information.
(d)
Each party acknowledges that Confidential Information may include information that constitutes material non-public information within
the meaning of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws (“MNPI”). Each party agrees that it shall not, and
shall instruct its Representatives not to, trade in securities of the other party or any of its affiliates, or otherwise use any Confidential
Information known by such party to constitute MNPI in violation of applicable securities laws, in each case while in possession of such
information. Each party further agrees not to communicate any Confidential Information known by such party to constitute MNPI to any
person unless such disclosure is permitted under this Agreement and the recipient of such information has been made aware of the confidential
nature of such information and is subject to compliance with applicable securities laws.

8

the circumstances of that Claim to the party responsible for indemnifying against the Claim (“Indemnifying Party”);
provided, failure to timely provide such notice shall not diminish the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation except to
the extent the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend the Claim is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party,
at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information and cooperation as the Indemnifying
Party may reasonably request. The Indemnifying Party shall control the defense and settlement of any Claim hereunder; provided, the Indemnified
Party may participate in the defense and settlement of the Claim with its own counsel at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall
not be responsible for any costs incurred or compromise made by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written
consent. The Indemnifying Party may not enter into any settlement that imposes a financial obligation on or otherwise commits or adversely
impacts the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed.

MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)
Governing Law/Jurisdiction: This Agreement shall be interpreted and governed by the laws of the State of California, without reference
to conflict of laws principles. The state courts and the United States federal courts located in the State of California shall each have
subject matter jurisdiction in connection with this Agreement and personal jurisdiction over each of the parties. Each party consents
to such jurisdiction and waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to venue to
the extent any proceeding is conducted in accordance with this Section.
(b)
Waiver of Jury Trial: In the event the parties are required for any reason to submit any dispute under this Agreement to trial,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party expressly waives the right to a jury trial, because the parties, who are represented
by counsel, believe that the complex commercial and professional aspects of their dealing with one another make a jury determination
neither desirable nor appropriate.
(c)
Entire Agreement; Modification: This Agreement constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes and cancels all previous oral or written communications, proposals, agreements,
and commitments. No modification to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights, shall be effective unless assented to in writing by
the party against whom such modification or waiver is to be enforced, and the waiver by a party of any breach or default of the other
party shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights under this Agreement or the waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the
other party, nor shall a party’s delay in enforcing its rights or remedies under this Agreement be construed as a waiver of such
rights or remedies.
(d)
Assignment: Without the prior written consent of Ticketmaster, Principal shall not (i) directly or indirectly assign, transfer,
pledge or hypothecate its rights, obligations or any interest under this Agreement; or (ii) permit the Hardware (if any) or Software

relieve Principal of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Without the prior written consent of Principal, Ticketmaster shall
not assign or transfer its rights, obligations or any interest under this Agreement, except in the event of an assignment by Ticketmaster
to any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or successor-in-interest (including a successor by virtue of an acquisition), in which event no
such consent shall be required. Any assignment, transfer, pledge or hypothecation for which consent is required and which is made without
such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain of Ticketmaster’s duties and obligations under this Agreement
may be performed on Ticketmaster’s behalf by one or more of its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates, and no such performance shall
be deemed to be an assignment or breach of this Agreement by Ticketmaster.
(e)
Relationship of the Parties: Each party is an independent contractor and not an agent or partner of, or in a joint venture with,
the other party for any purpose other than as set forth in this Agreement (e.g., Ticketmaster is the agent of Principal with respect
to ticket sales and distribution). Neither party by virtue of this Agreement shall have any right, power, or authority to act or create
any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party.
(f)
Force Majeure: Neither party will be liable or responsible to the other party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached
this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure
or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the impacted party’s control, including, without limitation, the following force
majeure events (“Force Majeure Events”): (i) acts of God; (ii) flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, pandemic or epidemic;
(iii) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest; (iv) government

authority; (vii) national or regional emergency; (viii) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns, or other industrial disturbances; and
(ix) shortage of adequate power. The impacted party shall use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of
such Force Majeure Events are minimized. The impacted party shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable
after the removal of the cause.
12
(g)
Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction (i) the validity
or enforceability of such provision shall not in any way be affected with respect to any other jurisdiction, and the validity and enforceability
of the remaining provisions shall not be affected; and (ii) the parties shall agree on a replacement of such provision with one or more
valid and enforceable provisions approximating the intent of the original provision as closely as possible.
(h)
Notices: Unless otherwise expressly permitted in any provision, any notices required to be given under this Agreement must be
sent to each party, in writing, at the address set forth immediately below the signature line of the applicable party or at such address
as may be provided by each party in writing from time to time, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or by an overnight
courier. Notices will be deemed effective the day following sending if sent by overnight courier or five days after sending if sent by
certified or registered mail.
(i)
Binding Agreement/Counterparts: The terms, conditions, provisions and undertakings of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of each of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, this Agreement shall not
be binding until executed by each of the parties. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts which when taken together constitute
a single instrument.
(j)
Legal Review: Each of the parties has had the opportunity to have its legal counsel review this Agreement on its behalf. If an
ambiguity or question of intent arises with respect to any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted
jointly by the parties. The parties expressly agree that the construction and interpretation of this Agreement shall not be strictly
construed against the drafter.
(k)
Attorneys’ Fees: In any claim or other dispute which relates to this Agreement, regardless of whether such claim or other
dispute arises from a breach of contract, tort, violation of applicable law or other cause of action, and in addition to any other rights
available to a party under this Agreement, the substantially prevailing party as determined by the court shall have the right to recover
and collect from the other party its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such claim or dispute, including its reasonable
attorneys’ fees. If a party substantially prevails on some aspects of such claim or dispute but not others, the court may apportion
any award of costs or attorneys’ fees in such manner as it deems equitable.
(l)
Client Listings: Principal’s execution of this Agreement indicates approval for Principal to be listed as a Ticketmaster
client in communications for distribution to event industry clients, in product boilerplate information, and in future releases about
Ticketmaster products and services for distribution to trade and consumer media. At any time, Principal may, in its sole discretion,
direct Ticketmaster to cease the use of Principal’s name for such purposes by sending notice to Ticketmaster via email at [***].

PAYMENT PROCESSING FEES.
(a)
Ticketmaster Distribution Channels: With respect to transactions processed by Ticketmaster using credit cards, debit cards, gift
cards or other payment methods, the payment authorization and processing fees (“Payment Processing Fees”) shall be
passed on to Principal at an amount equal to [***]% of the gross transaction value, which percentage rate shall be deducted by Ticketmaster
from the sales proceeds or, at Principal’s option, upon notice to Ticketmaster, the applicable Convenience Charge for any Ticket
sold may be adjusted to include such Payment Processing Fees; provided, the Convenience Charge will be rounded up to the nearest $[***].
Payment Processing Fees are subject to automatic increase due to increases in interbank rates imposed on Ticketmaster.
16
(b)
TM Charge: Where Principal elects to activate the electronic payment processing system within the TM System that utilizes the
global banking association networks to authorize electronic payment for transactions processed by Principal under this Agreement (“TM
Charge”), use of TM Charge shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i)
TM Charge Operation: Ticketmaster shall transmit data relating to transactions processed by Principal using TM Charge to Ticketmaster’s
payment card processor (“Processor”); provided, Ticketmaster receives Principal’s merchant number(s) and other
information necessary for the transmission of sales data. Principal shall be responsible for promptly notifying Ticketmaster and Processor,
if applicable, of any changes to the information provided pursuant to this Section. Processor will then transmit such data to the applicable
payment card company for payment to Principal, subject to Principal having entered into the applicable Principal Processor Agreement(s)
(as further described below). Ticketmaster shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of information transferred
from the Processor via TM Charge, but Ticketmaster does not guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of such information. Principal shall
comply with all applicable payment card association or company guidelines (e.g., swiping all retail transactions and using customer address
information for all non-face-to-face transactions). Ticketmaster shall provide Principal with daily transaction reports regarding authorized
and settled transactions. Principal also agrees that, for operational and monitoring purposes, Processor may provide Ticketmaster with
processing and settlement reports related to transactions processed using TM Charge.
(ii)
TM Charge Fees: In connection with Principal’s processing of transactions utilizing electronic payments and authorized via
TM Charge using either Visa or MasterCard, Processor shall deduct merchant fees in the amount of [***]% of the gross value of such transactions.
The fees charged to Principal for use of TM Charge are subject to automatic increases due to increases in Ticketmaster’s Processor
fees. Principal shall also be responsible for any other amounts charged to Ticketmaster (if any) by Processor for processing Principal’s
transactions using TM Charge, including Chargebacks, fraudulent payment card use and additional charges for failure to meet the specific
timing or other qualifications of the applicable payment card association or company. In the event Principal intends to process or accept
any credit or debit cards or other payment methods other than Visa or MasterCard utilizing TM Charge, the fees for such method shall
be mutually agreed upon by Principal and such payment card companies or payment providers, as applicable, and Principal shall enter into
its own merchant agreement with such parties.
(iii)
Effect of Termination of Ticketmaster’s Processor Agreement: Ticketmaster has entered into an agreement with Processor (the
“Processor Agreement”), and Principal agrees to enter into an agreement with Processor (the “Principal Processor
Agreement”) as soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement. The Principal Processor Agreement shall provide
that if the related Processor Agreement expires or terminates, then the Principal Processor Agreement shall also expire or terminate
without any early termination penalties or charges. In the event Ticketmaster elects to use a different processor, Principal shall enter
into an agreement with such new processor if Principal intends to continue utilizing TM Charge, it being acknowledged, however, that
use of certain Software may require utilization of TM Charge.
3.
ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION.
(a)
Hardware Credit: Ticketmaster shall provide Principal with a one-time–credit (“Hardware Credit”)
in the amount of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($[***]) to be used by Principal as a credit against Ticketmaster’s purchase
of certain Hardware for Principal’s use in connection with this Agreement. Any unused amount of the Hardware Credit shall be forfeited
upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement. The Hardware Credit, having no cash value, shall not be payable directly to Principal.
To the extent Ticketmaster’s purchase of additional Hardware for Principal’s use at any time exceeds the aggregate amount
of the Hardware Credit during the Term, Ticketmaster shall invoice Principal for, and Principal shall pay to Ticketmaster within thirty
(30) days of invoice receipt, such incremental amount in excess of the Hardware Credit. In the event Principal fails to pay such invoice
in full when due, Ticketmaster may deduct the unpaid amount of such invoice from the settlements otherwise due and owing to Principal
under this Agreement. Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties, any equipment purchased using the Hardware Credit or invoiced
to Principal pursuant to this Section shall be deemed “Hardware” as defined in this Agreement and shall be subject to all
terms and conditions relating to Hardware set forth in this Agreement.
17
(b)
Sponsorship Allowance:
(i)
Ticketmaster shall provide Principal with an annual sponsorship allowance for each Contract Year in an amount set forth in the table
below (the “Sponsorship Allowance”), which is based and conditioned upon Ticketmaster’s right to sell at least
the corresponding number of Qualifying Tickets set forth in the table below during such Contract Year (“Allowance Threshold”).
“Qualifying Tickets” means primary Tickets to Attractions via Ticketmaster distribution channels for which Ticketmaster
receives (and does not refund) a per Ticket Inside Charge, including platinum and VIP tickets, but excluding tickets for Facility Box
Office and Archtics transactions.

The
annual Sponsorship Allowance for each Contract Year shall be paid to Principal in four (4) equal installments. The first installment
for a given Contract Year shall be payable within thirty (30) days of the beginning of such Contract Year, and each subsequent instalment
shall be payable within thirty (30) days following the commencement of each successive three (3) month period during such Contract Year.
(ii)
In exchange for the Sponsorship Allowance, Ticketmaster and Principal will mutually agree on a set of marketing and sponsorship assets
to be provided by Principal each Contract Year, to designate and promote Ticketmaster as the Official Ticketing Partner/Marketplace of
Sunset Amphitheater Broken Arrow, Sunset Amphitheater McKinney and Sunset Amphitheater El Paso. The value of the marketing and sponsorship
assets provided by Principal each Contract Year shall be commensurate with the value of the Sponsorship Allowance for such Contract Year.
(iii)
If, at the conclusion of any Contract Year during the Term, Ticketmaster has not sold at least the applicable Allowance Threshold number
of Qualifying Tickets during such Contract Year, then the Sponsorship Allowance for such Contract Year shall be reduced by a pro-rata
amount equal to $[***] for each remaining Qualifying Ticket comprising the Allowance Threshold shortfall, by deducting such amount from
the Sponsorship Allowance payable for the immediately following Contract Year, but without any corresponding reduction to the sponsorship
assets to be provided for such immediately following Contract Year. For example, where the applicable Allowance Threshold is [***] Qualifying
Tickets during the initial Contract Year 4, and in the event Ticketmaster sells only [***] Qualifying Tickets during such initial Contract
Year 4, then the Sponsorship Allowance for the immediately following Contract Year 5 shall be reduced by the amount of $[***] (calculated
as $[***] x [***] Qualifying Tickets comprising the ticket shortfall). In the event the applicable Allowance Threshold is not met for
the final Contract Year of this Agreement, or this Agreement is terminated early for any reason and the applicable Annual Threshold for
the then-current Contract Year has not been met as of such early termination date, Principal shall remit to Ticketmaster, within fifteen
(15) days, the corresponding amount described above; provided that Principal’s repayment obligation for such Contract Year shall
not exceed the aggregate amount of the Sponsorship Allowance actually paid to Principal for such Contract Yer as of the effective date
of Agreement termination. Any return of any portion of the Sponsorship Allowance by Principal shall be by wire transfer.
