3.1 Conversion of Shares; Treatment of Company Options and Company Warrants.

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, the 1,000 issued and outstanding shares of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Merger Sub shall be converted into an aggregate number of shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation equal to the Fully-Diluted Closing Common Stock Number.

(b) Cancellation of Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of the Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”) and common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, except as otherwise provided (i) in Section 3.5 as to Company Dissenting Shares and (ii) in Section 3.1(j) as to treasury shares, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Ticketmaster, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and extinguished and be converted automatically into and become the right to receive (A) for each holder of Common Stock, their pro rata portion of the Initial Merger Consideration as specified in Section 3.1(c) and (B) for each holder of Preferred Stock, their pro rata portion of the Initial Liquidation Preference and the Initial Per Common Share Merger Consideration as specified in Section 3.1(d).

(c) Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not vested) (other than (x) any Company Dissenting Shares and (y) any shares of Common Stock held directly or indirectly by the Company, Ticketmaster or Merger Sub) will be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive (i) at the Effective Time, an amount per share in cash equal to the Initial Per Common Share Merger Consideration and (ii) subsequent to the Effective Time and in accordance with Section 3.3(c)(i) and the Escrow Agreement, an amount per share in cash equal to the Subsequent Per Common Share Merger Consideration.

(d) Preferred Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Company Dissenting Shares and any shares of Preferred Stock held directly or indirectly by the Company, Ticketmaster or Merger Sub) will be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive (i) at the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to the Initial Per Share Liquidation Preference and an amount per

share in cash equal to the Initial Per Common Share Merger Consideration (ii) subsequent to the Effective Time and in accordance with Section 3.3(c)(i), an amount per share in cash equal to Subsequent Per Common Share Merger Consideration.

(e) Company Options. Effective as of the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of the Effective Time that is not a Rollover Option, shall be converted into a right to receive an amount in cash, subject to applicable withholding Tax, as follows: (i) at the Effective Time, a payment equal to the product of the Initial Per Common Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Company Option (whether or not vested), minus the aggregate exercise price with respect to such Company Option (with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded to the nearest whole cent) and (ii) subsequent to the Effective Time and in accordance with Section 3.3(c)(i) and the Escrow Agreement, an amount in cash equal to the Subsequent Per Share Common Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Company Option. Upon and following the Effective Time, each holder of such a Company Option shall have no rights under or with respect to such Company Option other than the right to receive the cash amount(s) determined pursuant to the preceding sentence. Effective as of the Effective Time, each Rollover Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of the Effective Time shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation and become an Assumed Option to purchase a number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Rollover Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio. The per share exercise price for the Surviving Corporation Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option shall be equal (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) to the exercise price per share of Common Stock applicable to such Rollover Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Option Exchange Ratio. Except as provided herein, each Assumed Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the option agreement evidencing such Assumed Option. From and after the Effective Time, each Company Option shall no longer represent the right to acquire Common Stock. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary or appropriate action (including obtaining any required consents and any other action reasonably requested by Ticketmaster) to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.1(e). Except as otherwise clearly required by applicable Law or other guidance of the Internal Revenue Service, or pursuant to a determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any comparable provision of Law), each of Ticketmaster, V.I.P. Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall treat the Company Options as either exempt from or complying with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, as the case may be.

(f) Company Warrants. The Company shall provide that each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised as of the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) at the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to the Initial Per Share Common Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Company Warrant, minus the exercise price with respect to such Company Warrant, and (ii) subsequent to the Effective Time and in accordance with Section 3.3(c)(i) and the Escrow Agreement, an amount in cash equal to the Subsequent Per Share Common Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Company Warrant.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Ticketmaster and Merger Sub can rely on the Payment Schedule as setting forth a true, complete and accurate listing of all amounts due to be paid by Ticketmaster, Merger Sub and the Participating Rights Holders at and after Closing, and upon payment by Ticketmaster or Merger Sub of the amounts and to the Persons as set forth in the Payment Schedule, Ticketmaster and Merger Sub shall be deemed to have satisfied all payment obligations with respect thereto, and shall not be subject to (and each holder of shares of Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants hereby waives) any claims that any amounts due to any Persons thereunder have not been paid in full or an in any other way are inaccurate or incomplete.

At least two Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company will, in good faith and in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.4, prepare and deliver to Ticketmaster (i) an estimated closing balance sheet of the Company determined as of 11:59 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), which Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall include a reasonably detailed estimation of Working Capital as of 11:59 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (“Estimated Working Capital”).

At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Ticketmaster a schedule setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the amount of outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and the Subsidiaries determined as of 11:59 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”).

(c) Review of Final Closing Balance Sheet; Objection. The Stockholders’ Representative shall have 30 Business Days from the date of receipt of the Final Closing Balance Sheet to review the computation of Final Working Capital, Final Closing Date Cash and Final Closing Date Indebtedness. In connection with the review of the Final Closing Balance Sheet, Ticketmaster and the Surviving Corporation will make available to the Stockholders’ Representative and its Representatives (if any) all records and work papers that the Stockholders’ Representative and its Representatives (if any) reasonably request in reviewing the Final Closing Balance Sheet. In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees with the Final

Closing Balance Sheet and/or the Final Working Capital and/or the Final Closing Date Cash and/or the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a written notice of such disagreement to Ticketmaster and the Surviving Corporation, which notice shall include the Stockholders’ Representative’s reasonably detailed explanation of the basis of the disagreement and a reasonably detailed calculation of its proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and/or Final Working Capital and/or Final Closing Date Cash and/or Final Closing Date Indebtedness; provided, that the parties hereto agree that any such disagreement shall be limited to whether the preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the calculations of Final Working Capital, Final Closing Date Cash and Final Closing Date Indebtedness were done in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Base Balance Sheet and the terms of this Section 3.4 and whether there were mathematical errors in the preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet or the calculations of Final Working Capital, Final Closing Date Cash and Final Closing Date Indebtedness (an “Objection Notice”). If the Stockholders’ Representative has delivered an Objection Notice to Ticketmaster and the Surviving Corporation, Ticketmaster on the one hand and the Stockholders’ Representative on the other hand will endeavor to resolve any disagreements noted in the Objection Notice in good faith as soon as practicable after the delivery of such Objection Notice. If such parties do not obtain a final resolution within 30 days after Ticketmaster has received the Objection Notice, the Stockholders’ Representative and Ticketmaster shall submit the matter for resolution to a mutually acceptable nationally recognized independent accounting firm that is not a current service provider to Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation or any of its affiliates (the “Firm”) to resolve any remaining disagreements; provided, however, that if at such time either the Stockholders’ Representative or Ticketmaster shall discover a bona fide conflict with respect to the Firm, the parties shall submit the matter to another mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of national reputation that is not a current service provider to Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation or any of its affiliates to resolve the remaining matters in dispute, and such firm shall be the Firm for all purposes of this Section 3.4. Ticketmaster on the one hand and the Stockholders’ Representative on the other hand will direct the Firm to use its reasonable best efforts to render a determination within 30 days of submitting the matters set forth in the Objection Notice to it for resolution and the Surviving Corporation, the Stockholders’ Representative and Ticketmaster and their respective Representatives will cooperate with the Firm during its resolution of any disagreements included in the Objection Notice. The Firm will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Objection Notice that Ticketmaster on the one hand and the Stockholders’ Representative on the other hand are unable to resolve. In resolving any such disputed item, the Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by any party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by any party. The scope of the disputes to be arbitrated by the Firm is limited to whether the preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the calculations of Final Working Capital, Final Closing Date Cash and Final Closing Date Indebtedness were done in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Base Balance Sheet and the terms of this Section 3.4 and whether there were mathematical errors in the preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet or the calculations of Final Working Capital, Final Closing Date Cash and Final Closing Date Indebtedness and the Firm is not to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether GAAP was followed in the preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet or whether the amounts of Final Working Capital, Final Closing Date Cash and Final Closing Date Indebtedness are correct. The fees and expenses of the Firm, and the cost of any arbitration (including the fees of the Firm and reasonable attorney

fees and expenses of the parties) incurred pursuant to this Section 3.4(c), shall be paid Ticketmaster and the Stockholders’ Representative in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Firm (provided that the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Material Stockholders pursuant to Article XI for any fees and expenses paid by it hereunder). The determination of the Firm as to any disputed matters shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholders’ Representative and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The parties hereto agree that judgment may be entered upon the arbitral award of the Firm in any court having jurisdiction pursuant to Section 12.10 hereof.

(d) Final and Binding Determination. The closing balance sheet and amounts of Working Capital, Closing Date Cash and outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of 11:59 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date as agreed to by the Surviving Corporation, the Stockholders’ Representative and Ticketmaster or as determined by the Firm, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto and shall be deemed the “Actual Closing Balance Sheet”, “Actual Working Capital”, “Actual Closing Date Cash” and “Actual Closing Date Indebtedness” respectively, for all purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(e) Accounting Principles. The manner in which the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Final Closing Balance Sheet are to be prepared, and Estimated Working Capital and Final Working Capital, Estimated Closing Date Cash and Final Closing Date Cash, and Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness and Final Closing Date Indebtedness are to be calculated, pursuant to this Section 3.4, shall be in the same way, and using the same accounting principles, methods, practices, categories, estimates, judgments and assumptions as were used in preparing the Base Balance Sheet and Working Capital as of the date of the Base Balance Sheet, (provided that all such amounts shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied). Such accounting principles, methods, practices, categories, estimates, judgments and assumptions are set forth in reasonable detail on Exhibit I.

(f) The Initial Merger Consideration shall be increased (i) by the amount by which the Actual Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, if any, (ii) by the amount by which the Actual Closing Date Cash exceeds the Estimated Closing Date Cash, if any, and (iii) by the amount by which the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness exceeds the Actual Closing Date Indebtedness, if any. The Initial Merger Consideration shall be decreased (i) by the amount by which Actual Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital, if any, (ii) by the amount by which the Actual Closing Date Cash is less than the Estimated Closing Date Cash, if any, and (iii) by the amount by which the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness is less than the Actual Closing Date Indebtedness, if any. The Initial Merger Consideration as so increased or decreased shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Adjusted Merger Consideration.” If the Initial Merger Consideration is less than the Adjusted Merger Consideration, Ticketmaster shall, and if the Initial Merger Consideration is more than the Adjusted Merger Consideration, the Stockholders’ Representative shall, within three Business Days after the Actual Closing Balance Sheet becomes final and binding on the parties hereto, make payment by wire transfer to an account specified in writing by Ticketmaster or the Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, in immediately available funds of the amount of such difference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Stockholders’

Representative is required to make a payment to Ticketmaster pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.3(f), such payment shall be satisfied first, with all or any portion of the Escrow Amount by withdrawal from the Escrow Account, and second, only after the funds in the Escrow Account have been exhausted, by the Material Stockholders individually on a pro-rata basis.

3.5 Dissenting Shares. Any holder of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to which appraisal and/or dissenter’s rights, if any, are available by reason of the Merger pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Company Dissenting Shares”) shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Initial Merger Consideration or Aggregate Liquidation Preference, as applicable, pursuant to Article III, unless such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or loses its appraisal rights and/or rights to dissent from the Merger under the DGCL. Such holder shall be entitled to receive only such rights as are granted under Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or loses such appraisal and/or dissenter’s rights under the DGCL, such Company Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive that portion of the Initial Merger Consideration or Aggregate Liquidation Preference, as applicable, due pursuant to the provisions of Article III. The Company shall deliver prompt notice to Ticketmaster of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Common Stock or any shares of Preferred Stock. The Stockholders’ Representative shall control all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Ticketmaster, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. Any payments made with respect to Company Dissenting Shares shall be made solely by the Surviving Corporation, and no funds or other property have been or shall be provided by Ticketmaster, Merger Sub or any of Ticketmaster’s Affiliates for such payment.

Except where prohibited by applicable Law or by any Governmental Body, each party shall consult with the other prior to taking a position with respect to any such filing, shall permit the other party to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, white papers, other materials, arguments, opinions and proposals before making or submitting any of the foregoing to any Governmental Body in connection with any Proceedings in connection with this Agreement, coordinate with the other party in preparing and providing such information and promptly provide the other party (or its counsel) copies of all filings, presentations and submissions (and a summary of oral presentations) made by the that party with any Governmental Body in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. In addition, except where prohibited by applicable Law, in no event shall the Company or Ticketmaster, or any of such party’s Affiliates, Subsidiaries or Representatives engage in any material discussions or negotiations with any Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions unless the other party and its Representatives are present in such discussions or negotiations. Each of Ticketmaster and the Company also agrees that in no event shall it or any of its Representatives, Subsidiaries or Affiliates make any material agreement, including any agreement regarding any divestiture by Ticketmaster or the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates of shares of capital stock or of any portion of the business, assets or property of Ticketmaster or of the Company or their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, with any Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other party. The terms of this Section 7.5(b) are the only terms applicable to the obligations of the parties to obtain the Consents necessary to satisfy the conditions in Section 8.1(b).

(c) Further, each of the Material Stockholders, the Stockholders’ Representative, the Company, Ticketmaster and Merger Sub shall, from time to time and without further consideration, either before or after the Closing, execute such further instruments and

take such other actions as any other party hereto shall reasonably request in order to fulfill his, her or its respective obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, to effectuate the purposes of the Transaction Documents and to provide for the orderly and efficient transition of the Business following the Closing.

7.6 Exclusivity.

(a) During the Interim Period, none of the Material Stockholders, the Company or any Subsidiary will, including through any Representative or any Affiliate of any such Person, directly or indirectly, (i) discuss, encourage, facilitate, negotiate, undertake, initiate, authorize, recommend, propose or enter into, whether as the proposed surviving, merged, acquiring or acquired corporation or otherwise, any transaction involving a merger, consolidation, business combination, purchase or disposition of any material amount of the assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any ownership interests of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries other than the Transactions (an “Acquisition Transaction”), (ii) facilitate, encourage, solicit or initiate discussions, negotiations or submissions of proposals or offers in respect of an Acquisition Transaction, (iii) furnish or cause to be furnished, to any Person, any information concerning the business, operations, properties or assets of the Company or the Subsidiaries in connection with an Acquisition Transaction that the Company reasonably believes is in connection with a potential Acquisition Transaction, or (iv) otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek any of the foregoing.

(b) The applicable Material Stockholder or the Company, as the case may be, shall notify Ticketmaster orally and in writing promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by the Company, a Subsidiary, any Material Stockholder, or any Representative or any Affiliate of any such Person, of any proposal, offer or inquiry from any Person other than Ticketmaster to effect an Acquisition Transaction or any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company or any Subsidiary that the Company reasonably believes is in connection with a potential Acquisition Transaction by any Person other than Ticketmaster and its Affiliates and Representatives. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the Person making the proposal or offer, or intending to make a proposal or offer or requesting non-public information or access to the books and records of the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, the material terms of any such proposal or offer, or modification or amendment to such proposal or offer and copies of any such written proposals or offers or amendments or supplements thereto. The applicable Material Stockholder or the Company, as the case may be, shall keep Ticketmaster informed, on a current basis, of any material changes in the status and any material changes or modifications in the material terms of any such proposal, offer, indication or request (including any change to the purchase price contained therein).

(c) The Company and the Material Stockholders shall, and shall cause his, her or its respective Representatives or Affiliates to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than Ticketmaster) conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Transaction. The Company shall not release any third party from the confidentiality and standstill provisions of any Contract to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party.

(d) The Material Stockholders and the Company acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of this Section 7.6, the damage or imminent damage to the value and the goodwill of Ticketmaster shall be inestimable and that therefore any remedy at Law or in damages would be inadequate. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that, following prior written notice to the applicable Material Stockholder or the Company, Ticketmaster shall (without the necessity of posting any bond or other security), in addition to Losses incurred by reason of any such breach, be entitled to injunctive relief, including specific performance, with respect to any such breach against the breaching party.

7.7 Covenant Not to Compete; Non-Solicitation; Retained Information.

(a) The Company and each Material Stockholder party hereto acknowledge that (i) Ticketmaster and Merger Sub would not have entered into this Agreement but for the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7.7 and (ii) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7.7 are essential to protect the business and goodwill of the Surviving Corporation and the Business after the Closing.

(b) To induce Ticketmaster and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, each Material Stockholder set forth on Schedule 7.7(b)(i) (each such Material Stockholder, a “Management Restricted Stockholder”) covenants and agrees that, during the period commencing on the Closing and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing (the “Management Restricted Period”), and each Material Stockholder set forth on Schedule 7.7(b)(ii) (each such Material Stockholder, an “Investor Restricted Stockholder”) covenants and agrees that, during the period commencing on the Closing and ending on the one-year anniversary of the Closing (the “Investor Restricted Period”), each such Management Restricted Stockholder and each such Investor Restricted Stockholder shall not, and shall cause his, her or its respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, anywhere in North America, for the relevant period referenced above in this Section 7.7(b):

provided, however, that each Management Restricted Stockholder and each Investor Restricted

Stockholder may (x) own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person that is publicly traded as long as the Management Restricted Stockholder or Investor Restricted Stockholder (A) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that Controls, such Person and (B) does not, directly or indirectly, own 2% or more of any class of securities of such Person; provided further, that the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Section 7.7(b) shall not apply to portfolio companies in which the Investor Restricted Stockholders have current investments (“Existing Portfolio Companies”) or future investments by the Investor Restricted Stockholders in Existing Portfolio Companies.

(c) During the Management Restricted Period or the Investor Restricted Period, as applicable, each Management Restricted Stockholder or Investor Restricted Stockholder, as applicable, shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to not, in each case, directly or indirectly, anywhere in North America, (i) solicit or encourage any employee of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates to leave the employment of the Surviving Corporation or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Surviving Corporation or such Affiliate, on the one hand, and any such employee, on the other hand, (ii) hire any Person who currently is, or at any time after the date hereof becomes, an employee of the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliates, (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, vendor, broker, issuer, licensee, advertiser or other Person with whom the Company or such Restricted Stockholder currently has, or at any time after the date hereof with whom the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates shall have, a business relationship (in each case with respect to the Business) to cease doing or reduce business with the Surviving Corporation or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with or adversely affect the relationship between any such issuer, owner, vendor, broker, supplier or similar Person, on the one hand, and the Surviving Corporation or such Affiliate, on the other hand, other than in the ordinary course of business on behalf of the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliates or (iv) disparage, defame, libel or slander the Surviving Corporation, Ticketmaster or any of their Affiliates or Representatives.

(d) In the event that the provisions of this Section 7.7 should ever be deemed to exceed the time or geographic limitations or any other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the extent and only to the extent that they are deemed to have the broadest and most comprehensive applicability in all respects permitted by applicable Law. Each of the Management Restricted Stockholders and Investor Restricted Stockholders, as applicable, specifically acknowledges and agrees that such Person has received adequate consideration in exchange for entering into these covenants, the foregoing restrictions are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Ticketmaster, the Company and the Surviving Corporation, including the goodwill that Ticketmaster and Merger Sub shall be purchasing from the Material Stockholders pursuant to the Transactions, that Ticketmaster and Merger Sub would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, that any violation of such restrictions will result in irreparable injury to Ticketmaster and the Surviving Corporation or the Company or all of the preceding entities, that the remedy at Law for any breach of the foregoing restrictions will be inadequate, and that, in the event of any such breach, Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation or the Company, in addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary injunctive relief before trial from any court of competent jurisdiction as a matter of course and to permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages.

7.8 Notice of Certain Events.

(a) Each of the Company, each Material Stockholder party hereto and Ticketmaster shall give prompt written notice to each other party of (i) the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event causing any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material adverse respect at or prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) any failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.8 shall not serve to cure such breach or non-compliance or limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

(b) The Company shall promptly inform Ticketmaster of the initiation of any Proceeding that has had or reasonably could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and of any significant developments with respect to any such Proceeding or any Proceeding in existence on the date hereof.

7.9 Release. Effective as of the Closing Date, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, including the consideration to be received by the Material Stockholders hereunder, each Material Stockholder hereby irrevocably releases and forever discharges Ticketmaster, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company, the Subsidiaries and their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, divisions and predecessors and their respective past and present directors, officers, employees and agents, and each of their respective successors, heirs, assigns, executors and administrators (collectively, the “Released Persons”) of and from any and all manner of action and actions, cause and causes of action, suits, rights, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, bonds, bills, covenants, contracts, controversies, omissions, promises, variances, trespasses, Losses, judgments, executions, claims and demands whatsoever, in Law or in equity which such Material Stockholder ever had, now has or which it hereafter can, shall or may have, against the Released Persons, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent, for, upon or by reason of any matter relating to the Company or the Business arising at any time on or prior to the Closing Date whether in his, her or its capacity as a Material Stockholder, an employee (to the extent the Material Stockholder is or was employed by the Company) or otherwise and the Released Persons shall not have Liability with respect thereto; provided, that such release shall not cover claims or Liabilities (i) for indemnification or contribution, in any Material Stockholder’s capacity as an officer or director of the Company, under the DGCL or the Company’s Fundamental Documents, (ii) under any insurance policy of the Company in effect as of the Closing, (iii) as to accrued but unpaid benefits as of the Closing under any Employee Benefit Program of the Company, (iv) with respect to salaries and expenses that have accrued in the Ordinary Course of Business and with respect to accrued vacation and sick pay, or (v) for amounts owed pursuant to, or other rights set forth in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (v) of the immediately preceding sentence, each Material

Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the terms of any Preferred Stock, Common Stock, Company Option, Company Warrant or any Contract to which any Material Stockholder is a party, the portion of the Merger Consideration and any other amounts due and payable to him, her or it hereunder are the only amounts due and payable with respect to such securities of the Company, and no such Material Stockholder shall be entitled to, and each such Material Stockholder hereby waives, any and all rights to any consideration from the Company or Ticketmaster with respect to such securities (in connection with the Transactions or otherwise), except to the extent expressly set forth herein.

7.10 Certain Agreements. Each Material Stockholder party hereto hereby waives all rights to receive any notice required to be delivered to such Material Stockholder pursuant to the any Contract or agreement to which such Material Stockholder is a party in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any of the Transactions. Each Material Stockholder party hereto hereby waives any appraisal or dissenter rights with respect to his, her or its Shares under the DGCL.

7.11 Tax Matters.

(a) The Surviving Corporation shall be responsible for preparing consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by Law, and timely filing any Tax Returns with respect to the Company and each of the Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period that are required to be filed after the Closing Date and any Tax Returns with respect to the Company and each of the Subsidiaries relating to the taxable year ending December 31, 2007, to the extent such Tax Returns have not been filed as of the Closing Date. The Surviving Corporation shall provide each such Pre-Closing Tax Return to the Stockholders’ Representative for review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return, and shall not file any such Tax Return without the consent of the Stockholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. To the extent the Surviving Corporation and Stockholder’s representative cannot agree, unresolved issues for Pre-Closing Tax Period Tax Returns shall be submitted to the Firm for final resolution prior to the due date of such Tax Return. None of Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Affiliates shall file any amended return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, unless otherwise required by applicable law, without the consent of the Stockholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) Any Tax Refunds, credits of Taxes or reductions in Taxes (each, a “Tax Reduction”) with respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods actually realized, except to the extent that (i) such Tax Reduction arises as a result of a carry back of a loss or other Tax benefit attributable to a period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, (ii) the facts and circumstances that gave rise to such Tax Reduction result or may result in an increased Tax liability for a period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, or (iii) such Tax Reduction was included in the calculation of current assets or current Liabilities for purposes of determining Working Capital, shall be forwarded to the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Material Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, any Tax Reduction arising in connection with the Merger, including, without limitation, those relating to compensation deductions arising in connection with the exercise or cancellation of Company Options on or prior to the

Closing Date (including any deductions arising with respect to payments to former holders of Company Options from the Escrow Account) or any other compensation deductions, shall be for the account of the Buyer and shall be treated for purposes of this Section 7.11(b) as not relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods . All other Tax Reductions, including as a consequence of any Tax deductions, Tax benefits or other Tax assets arising in a post-Closing period attributable to transaction expenses shall in each case be for the account of the Surviving Corporation. Ticketmaster shall, if the Stockholders’ Representative so requests and at the Material Stockholders’ expense, cause the relevant entity (Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries or any successor) to file for and obtain any Tax Reductions to which the Material Stockholders are entitled hereunder unless such Tax Reduction could be expected to materially increase the Surviving Corporation’s Tax Liability. Ticketmaster shall forward to the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Material Stockholders, (i) any such Tax Reduction promptly after the Tax Reduction is received or (ii) the amount of any such credit or reduction in Taxes that is realized promptly after the credit or reduction in Taxes is realized (in each case net of any reasonable expense incurred to obtain such Tax Reduction). For purposes of the foregoing, the reduction of Taxes or credits of Taxes shall equal the cash Tax savings that Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation, the Subsidiaries and any of their respective Affiliates would receive assuming that the Tax benefits contemplated by this Section 7.11(b) are realized by Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation, their Subsidiaries and any of their respective Affiliates after any other items of loss, deduction or credit are realized. In the event that any Tax Reduction is granted for which a payment has been made to the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Material Stockholders pursuant to this Section 7.11(b) is subsequently reduced or disallowed, the Material Stockholders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation and their Subsidiaries against, and reimburse Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation and their Subsidiaries for any net increase in Tax Liability (taking into account any actual or reasonably expected (based upon a final agreement with the relevant taxing authorities and utilizing the assumptions set forth above) decrease in Tax Liability relating to such Tax Reduction), including interest and penalties, assessed against the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries by reason of the reduction or disallowance.

(c) The Surviving Corporation shall promptly notify the Stockholders’ Representative in writing upon receipt by the Surviving Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries of notice of any Tax audits, examinations or assessments that would give rise to indemnification under Section 10.2. The Stockholders’ Representative shall control, at its own expense, the portion of any such audit, examination or Proceeding that relates to any such Taxes as it relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to participate in any such audit, examination or Proceeding. The Stockholder’s Representative shall not have the right to settle any such audit, examination or Proceeding without the consent of the Surviving Corporation (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). The Surviving Corporation shall control any audit, examination or Proceeding that does not relate to Taxes for which the Stockholders are responsible.

(d) The Surviving Corporation and the Stockholders’ Representative shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, (i) provide the other party and its Representatives and Affiliates with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or any audit or other examination by any taxing authority or

judicial or administrative Proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries and (ii) retain and provide the other party and its Affiliates with reasonable access to all records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit, examination or Proceeding; provided, that the foregoing shall be done at the expense of the party making such request and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the parties.

7.12 Other Stockholder Notification. In accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL, the Company shall promptly, and in any event within five Business Days after the date hereof, notify each of the holders of equity securities who have not consented to the adoption of, and become a party to, this Agreement of the existence of this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby. Together with the notice to be delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall deliver a written notice of appraisal rights under the DGCL, a summary of the Transaction Documents and the Transactions, the appropriate surrender forms and other documents to be executed and delivered to the Company and/or the Stockholders’ Representative, a joinder to this Agreement pursuant to which each such holder would enter into this Agreement as a “Material Stockholder” and such other documents and information as Ticketmaster may reasonably request, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Ticketmaster.

7.13 Indemnification of Officers and Directors. From the Effective Time, Ticketmaster and the Surviving Corporation shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify the Fundamental Documents of the Company in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of any officer or director to indemnification, exculpation and advancement except to the extent required by applicable Law or stock exchange. Ticketmaster shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor any indemnification or exculpation agreements between the Company and any of its directors, officers or employees existing on the date hereof. In the event that Ticketmaster or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Ticketmaster or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.13. The provisions of this Section 7.13 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the parties hereto and each Person entitled to indemnification or insurance coverage or expense advancement pursuant to this Section 7.13, and his or her heirs and representatives.

7.14 Employee Matters.

(a) Ticketmaster agrees that each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries who continues employment with Ticketmaster or one of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) after the Effective Time (a “Continuing Employee”) will be provided, for a period extending until the earlier of the termination of such Continuing Employee’s employment with such entities or the first anniversary of the Closing Date, with (i) a rate of base salary or wages that is not less favorable than the rate of base salary or wages paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the date hereof and (ii) with other benefits that, in Ticketmaster’s discretion, are either substantially

similar in the aggregate to the benefits provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the date hereof or substantially similar in the aggregate to the benefits provided by Ticketmaster to its employees generally (excluding the Continuing Employees) who are similarly situated to such Continuing Employee (with the comparison of benefits under this clause (ii) determined with reference to benefits other than annual bonus, equity compensation and other forms of incentive-based compensation).

(b) With respect to each benefit plan, program, practice, policy or arrangement maintained by Ticketmaster or its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) following the Effective Time and in which any of the Continuing Employees participate (the “Ticketmaster Plans”), for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting purposes (but not for accrual of benefits other than determining the level of vacation pay accrual), service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (or predecessor employers to the extent the Company provides past service credit) shall be treated as service with Ticketmaster and its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such service credit would result in any duplication of benefits. Each applicable Ticketmaster Plan shall waive, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the relevant insurance carriers, eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements and pre existing condition limitations to the extent waived or not included under the corresponding Benefit Plan. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and the relevant insurance carriers and to the extent applicable in the plan year that contains the Effective Date, the Employees shall be given credit under the applicable Ticketmaster Plan for amounts paid prior to the Effective Time during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs under a corresponding Benefit Plan for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out of pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Ticketmaster Plan.

(c) The Surviving Corporation shall, not later than three months after the Closing Date, establish a new stock option plan consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 7.14(c) attached hereto.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement (i) shall require Ticketmaster or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to continue to employ any particular Continuing Employee following the Closing Date for any particular period of time, (ii) shall be construed to prohibit Ticketmaster or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) from amending or terminating any Employee Benefit Program or any Ticketmaster Plan or (iii) shall constitute or be construed as an amendment of any Employee Benefit Program or any Ticketmaster Plan.

(e) The Company shall have obtained prior to the initiation of the requisite shareholder approval procedure under Section 7.14(f) below, a waiver of the right to receive payments and/or benefits that reasonably could constitute “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder (a “Parachute Payment Waiver”), in a form reasonably acceptable to Ticketmaster, from each Person who, with respect to the Company, reasonably could be a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), as determined immediately prior to the initiation of the requisite shareholder approval procedure under Section 7.14(f), and who, with respect to the Company, reasonably might otherwise receive, have received, or have the right or entitlement to receive any parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, and the Company

shall have delivered each such Parachute Payment Waiver to Ticketmaster on or before the Closing Date.

(f) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval by such number of shareholders of the Company as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code so as to render the parachute payment provisions of Section 280G of the Code inapplicable to any and all payments and/or benefits provided pursuant to contracts or arrangements that, in the absence of the executed Parachute Payment Waivers by the affected Persons under Section 7.14(e) above, might otherwise result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any amount and/or the provision of any benefit that would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code, with such stockholder approval to be solicited in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of such Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such Treasury Regulations.

7.15 Termination of Agreements. Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that as of the Effective Time, the Investor Rights Agreement dated June 15, 2007, Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement dated June 15, 2007 and the Voting Agreement dated June 15, 2007, shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect.

7.16 Termination of Use. The Company agrees that, as soon as practicable after a request in writing from Ticketmaster (and in any event within 45 days after the Company’s receipt of such a request), the Company will cease operating, and cause the Subsidiaries to cease operating, any website that has a domain name that includes the name, trademark, service mark and/or trade name of any performing artist, athlete, sports team or league, except in each case where the Company or a Subsidiary has obtained express written permission to make such use of such person’s or entity’s name, trademark, service mark or trade name.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION

9.1 Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated or the Transactions may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Ticketmaster;

(b) by the Company or Ticketmaster if any Governmental Body shall have issued or enacted an Order or taken any other action which permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the Transactions and such Order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable, as applicable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to a party if such Order was made primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(c) by the Company or Ticketmaster if any Governmental Body enacts a Law that permanently restrains or otherwise prohibits the Transactions;

(d) by Ticketmaster, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company, any Material Stockholder or the Stockholders’ Representative set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company, any Material Stockholder or the Stockholders’ Representative in Article IV, Article V or Section 11.1(h), as the case may be, shall, in any case, be or become untrue such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or 8.2 would not be satisfied (any such breach or occurrence, a “Company Terminating Breach”); provided, however, that if such Company Terminating Breach is curable by the Company, the

applicable Material Stockholder or the Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, through the exercise of his, her or its commercially reasonable efforts, and the Company, the applicable Material Stockholder or the Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, continues to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach, Ticketmaster may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) until the date that is 20 days after the Company, the applicable Material Stockholder or the Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, has been provided written notice by Ticketmaster of any such Company Terminating Breach, and whereby such breach remains uncured;

(e) by the Company, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Ticketmaster or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Ticketmaster or Merger Sub in Article VI shall, in any case, be or become untrue such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or 8.3 would not be satisfied (any such breach or occurrence, a “Ticketmaster Terminating Breach”); provided, however, that if such Ticketmaster Terminating Breach is curable by Ticketmaster or Merger Sub through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, and Ticketmaster or Merger Sub, as applicable, continues to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach, the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(e) until the date that is 20 days after Ticketmaster or Merger Sub, as applicable, has been provided written notice by the Company of any such Ticketmaster Terminating Breach, and whereby such breach remains uncured; and

(f) by any party hereto if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to April 11, 2008 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that if the Closing shall not have occurred solely as a result of the failure of the condition set forth in Section 8.1(b) to be satisfied (other than those conditions that can only be satisfied at Closing), the Termination Date shall automatically be extended to July 11, 2008; and provided, further, however, that no party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(f) if such party’s failure to fulfill any of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement shall have caused the Closing not to have occurred on or before such date.

9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement by any party hereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other parties hereto specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination of this Agreement is made, and this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of (a) Article I, (b) Section 7.4, (c) this Article IX and (d) Article XII. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by this Article IX, such termination shall be without Liability of any party hereto (or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or Representatives of its Affiliates) to any other party to this Agreement; provided, however, that if either party has intentionally and willfully breached any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement, then in each such case nothing herein shall affect the non-breaching party’s right to Losses and other amounts on account of such other party’s breach.

ARTICLE X
SURVIVAL; TRANSACTION RELATED INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties of the parties to this Agreement that are made in this Agreement (including any representations and warranties made pursuant to any closing certificate) shall expire and terminate and be of no further force and effect after the Escrow Expiration Date, except that any bona fide good faith written claim for indemnification for breach thereof made prior to such date and delivered to Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation or the Stockholders’ Representative, as applicable, shall survive thereafter and, as to any such claim, such applicable expiration will not affect the rights to indemnification of the party making such claim; provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties (i) of the Company contained in Section 4.1 (Organization and Corporate Power), Section 4.2 (Due Authorization and No Conflict), Section 4.4 (Capitalization), Section 4.5 (Subsidiaries) and Section 4.21 (Investment Banking; Brokerage), (ii) of the Material Stockholders contained in Sections 5.1 (Organization and Corporate Power), 5.2 Due Authorization and No Conflict) and 5.3 (Ownership), (iii) of the Stockholders’ Representative contained in Section 11.1(h) and (iv) of Ticketmaster and Merger Sub contained in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 (the representations and warranties contained in clauses (i) through (iv) collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), shall survive until the date that is 30 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, if any, and if there is no applicable statute of limitations, indefinitely and (b) the representations and warranty of the Company contained in Section 4.12 (Tax Matters) (the “Special Representation”) shall survive until the date that is 30 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and in each case, any claim by an Indemnified Party with respect to a breach thereof may be given at any time up to or including such date. Any claim with respect to fraud or willful and intentional breach by the Company, the Material Stockholders, the Stockholders’ Representative, Ticketmaster or Merger Sub may be made at any time after the Closing. Any written claim by an Indemnified Party with respect to a breach of any covenant or other agreement in this Agreement to be performed at or prior to Closing made by the Company, the Material Stockholders, the Stockholders’ Representative, Ticketmaster and Merger Sub may be given at any time prior to the day that is three months following the Closing Date. All other covenants shall survive the Closing and survive indefinitely, except those that by their terms expire earlier. No right of indemnification under this Agreement shall be limited by reason of any investigation or audit conducted before or after the Closing Date, the knowledge of any party of any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by any other party hereto or the decision of any party hereto to complete the Closing.

10.2 Indemnification by Material Stockholders. Effective as of the Closing and subject to the time limits set forth in Section 10.1 above, each of the Material Stockholders, jointly and severally, on his, her or its own behalf and on behalf of his, her or its successors, executors, administrators, estate, heirs and assigns (collectively, the “Stockholder Indemnifying Parties”, and each individually, a “Stockholder Indemnifying Party”) agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Ticketmaster, Merger Sub, their respective Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries) and indirect partners, including partners of partners and stockholders and members of partners (collectively, the “Ticketmaster Indemnified Parties”, and individually, a “Ticketmaster Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all damages, awards, diminution in value, lost profits, Liabilities, Losses, claims, obligations, Encumbrances, assessments, judgments, Taxes, fines, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other out-of-pocket expenses (“Losses”) which are actually or could reasonably be expected to be sustained or suffered by any such Ticketmaster Indemnified Party based upon, arising out of, or by reason of each and all of the following:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company, any Material Stockholder or the Stockholders’ Representative in Article IV, Article V or Section 11.1(h) respectively (with any breach of such representations and warranties contained in Article V being solely the indemnification obligation of the Material Stockholder making such representation or warranty that has been breached);

(b) any breach of any covenant or other agreement made by the Company (to the extent required to be performed or complied with prior to Closing), the Material Stockholders or the Stockholders’ Representative in this Agreement;

(c) any and all Liability for Pre-Closing Taxes, to the extent such Liability has not been included in the determination of Working Capital or otherwise reduced the Adjusted Merger Consideration;

(d) the failure of the Company to pay any Company Transaction Expenses;

(e) the failure of the Company to pay any Indebtedness due to be paid by the Company or the Subsidiaries at the Closing except to the extent that it has reduced the Adjusted Merger Consideration; and

(f) any amounts owed by the Surviving Corporation to any Stockholder as a result of a final and binding Order granting such holder an award under Section 262 of the DGCL.

10.3 Indemnification by Ticketmaster. Effective as of the Closing and subject to the time limits set forth in Section 10.1 above, Ticketmaster, on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors, executors, administrators, estate, heirs and assigns (collectively, the “Ticketmaster Indemnifying Parties”, and each individually, a “Ticketmaster Indemnifying Party”, and together with the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties, the “Indemnifying Parties”, and each individually, an “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Material Stockholders and their respective Affiliates (including partners of partners and stockholders and members of partners, but not the Company and the Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties”, and each individually, a “Stockholder Indemnified Party”, and together with the Ticketmaster Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”, and each individually, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses which are actually or could reasonably be expected to be sustained or suffered by any such Stockholder Indemnified Party based upon, arising out of, or by reason of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Ticketmaster or Merger Sub in Article VI of this Agreement, any covenant or other agreement made by Ticketmaster or Merger Sub.

10.4 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.2 to the contrary, after the Closing:

(a) the Material Stockholder Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable for Losses in respect of claims made by any Ticketmaster Indemnified Party for indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties under Section 10.2(a) unless and to the extent the total of all Losses in respect of claims made by the Ticketmaster Indemnified Parties for

indemnification shall exceed 1% of the Initial Merger Consideration in the aggregate (the “Deductible”); and

(b) the maximum aggregate amount for which the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties shall be liable to all Ticketmaster Indemnified Parties taken together for Losses under Section 10.2(a) shall not exceed the Indemnity Cap;

provided, however, that the Ticketmaster Indemnified Parties shall not be subject to the limitations of the Deductible, the Indemnity Cap or any other limitation and shall be entitled to full recovery from a Stockholder Indemnifying Party in respect of claims for indemnification from a Stockholder Indemnifying Party for all Losses in connection with (i) a breach of any Fundamental Representation or Special Representation or (ii) fraud or willful and intentional breach of this Agreement by a Material Stockholder, the Stockholders’ Representative or the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except for Losses arising from a breach of a representation or warranty made by a Stockholder Indemnifying Party in Article V or in the event of fraud or willful misconduct by such Stockholder Indemnifying Party, (for which the breaching Stockholder Indemnifying Party agrees to be solely liable for all such Losses), each Stockholder Indemnifying Party shall be responsible only for his, her or its pro-rata portion (based on the amount of Initial Merger Consideration received at Closing) of any Losses up to a maximum amount from each Stockholder Indemnifying Party equal to the aggregate amount of any Merger Consideration received by such Stockholder Indemnifying Party.

10.5 Notice; Payment of Losses; Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give written notice of a claim for indemnification under Section 10.2 to Ticketmaster or the Stockholders’ Representative, as applicable, and the Escrow Agent promptly after, (i) in the case of an intra-party claim, the event giving rise to such Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification, or (ii) in the case of a third-party claim, receipt of any written claim by any third party and in any event not later than 10 Business Days after receipt of any such written claim, in each case specifying in reasonable detail the amount, nature and source of the claim, and including therewith copies of any notices or other documents received from third parties with respect to such claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not limit the right of an Indemnified Party to recover indemnity or reimbursement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party suffers any prejudice or harm with respect to such claim as a result of such failure.

(b) Within 20 Business Days after receiving notice of a claim for indemnification or reimbursement, the Indemnifying Party shall, by written notice to the Indemnified Party, either (i) concede or deny Liability for the claim in whole or in part, or (ii) in the case of a claim asserted by a third party, advise that the matters set forth in the notice are, or will be, subject to contest or Proceedings not yet finally resolved. If the Indemnifying Party concedes Liability in whole or in part, it shall, within 20 Business Days of such concession, pay (in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement) the amount of the claim to the Indemnified Party to the extent of the Liability conceded. Any such payment shall be made in immediately available funds equal to the amount of such claim so payable. If the Indemnifying Party denies Liability in whole or in part or advises that the matters set forth in the notice are, or will be, subject to contest or Proceedings not yet finally resolved, then the

Indemnifying Party shall make no payment (except for the amount of any conceded Liability payable as set forth above) until the matter is resolved in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) In the case of any third party claim, if, within the 20 Business Day period described in the preceding paragraph (b), after receiving the notice described in the preceding paragraph (a), the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party stating that the Indemnifying Party would be liable under the provisions hereof for indemnity in the amount of such claim if such claim were valid and that the Indemnifying Party disputes and intends to defend against such claim or Loss at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the Indemnifying Party (subject to the consent of such Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Indemnifying Party shall not be required to make any payment to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim or Loss as long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense at its own expense; provided, however, that the assumption of defense of any such matters by the Indemnifying Party shall relate solely to the claim that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, it shall have the right, with the written consent of such Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, to settle all indemnifiable matters related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled, it being understood that it shall be reasonable for the Indemnified Party to withhold such consent if any such settlement would impose on any Indemnified Party equitable or non-monetary remedies, or would not provide a full release of all claims against the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries, or would exceed the maximum amount payable by the Indemnifying Parties to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall keep such Indemnified Party apprised of the status of the claim and any resulting Proceeding, shall furnish such Indemnified Party with all documents and information that such Indemnified Party shall reasonably request and shall consult with such Indemnified Party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, such Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in (but not control) such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the Proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the reasonable expense of separate counsel for such Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay for only one counsel for the Indemnified Party in any jurisdiction. If no such notice of intent to dispute and defend is given by the Indemnifying Party, or if such diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, such Indemnified Party may undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by such Indemnified Party, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle, such claim or Loss (exercising reasonable business judgment) and after receiving the written consent of the Indemnifying Parties. If such claim or Loss is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party make available all information and assistance that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.5 to the contrary, the provisions of Section 7.11 shall, to the extent inconsistent with this Section 10.5, govern any third party claim relating to Taxes.

10.6 Calculation of Losses.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be net of any amounts actually received by such Indemnified Party under insurance policies or with respect to such Losses and shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Losses. In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit actually realized, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize any item of loss, deduction or credit as a result of such indemnified Loss after the recognition of any other items of loss, deduction or credit. In the event the Ticketmaster Indemnified Parties receive any such insurance proceeds, the amount of such recovery shall be applied first, to reimburse the Ticketmaster Indemnified Parties for their out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) expended in pursuing such recovery, second, to refund any payments made by the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Article X which would not have been so paid had such recovery been obtained prior to such payment, and third, to the Ticketmaster Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Section 10.6(a) shall in no event obligate Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation, the Subsidiaries any of their Affiliates to maintain any insurance policy or specific level of coverage under any policy, or permit the Indemnifying Party to withhold any or all Losses until a claim is resolved.

(b) Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all appropriate steps to mitigate any of its Losses (including, to the extent consistent with sound business judgment, incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach which gives rise to the Losses) upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto; provided, however, that in no event shall the terms of this Section 10.6(b) in any way obligate Ticketmaster, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries to take any steps that would, or that could reasonably be expected to, adversely impact in any way the operation or financial performance of Ticketmaster, the Surviving Corporation, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates.

(c) Ticketmaster, Merger Sub, the Company, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Material Stockholders agree to treat any indemnification payments received pursuant to this Agreement for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration.

10.7 Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Indemnified Parties for any and all claims or rights regarding any breach or violation of any representations or warranties of the Company, any Material Stockholder, the Stockholders’ Representative, Ticketmaster or Merger Sub, as applicable, under this Agreement, other than in respect of any such claims or rights which are based on fraud or a willful and intentional breach of this Agreement. In the event that the Material Stockholders or the Stockholders’ Representative are required to make a payment to any Ticketmaster Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of this Article X, such payment shall be satisfied first, with the Escrow Amount by

withdrawal from the Escrow Account, and second, only after funds in the Escrow Account have been exhausted, at the option of Ticketmaster, by the Material Stockholders individually on a pro-rata basis. In the event that any amounts owed by a Material Stockholder resulting from a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article V or Section 11.1(h) have been satisfied by amounts in the Escrow Account, such amounts shall be deducted from the amounts payable to such Material Stockholder or Stockholders upon the release of the any portion of the Escrow Amount (or, at the option of Ticketmaster, such Material Stockholder or Stockholders shall be obligated to pay an amount equal to the deducted amount into the Escrow Account).

ARTICLE XI
STOCKHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIVE

11.1 The Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) Each of the Material Stockholders does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint the Stockholders’ Representative as his, her or its agent, to act in his, her or its name, place and stead, as such Material Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact, to (i) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the Transaction Documents (including in the name of, or on behalf of, such Material Stockholder), (ii) make all elections or decisions entered into in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (iii) hold such Material Stockholder’s equity securities of the Company and transfer, exercise or convert such equity securities, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms hereof, (iv) act on such Material Stockholder’s behalf in connection with all obligations and agreements of the Material Stockholders under the Transaction Documents, (v) amend, waive or otherwise change the terms or conditions of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document on behalf of such Material Stockholder, (vi) defend, settle and make payments to the Ticketmaster Indemnified Parties on behalf of such Material Stockholder in connection with any claim for indemnification made by any Ticketmaster Indemnified Party pursuant to Article X hereof and to initiate and prosecute any claim for indemnification made by or on behalf of such Material Stockholder pursuant to Article X hereof (and such Material Stockholder recognizes and acknowledges, for the benefit of Ticketmaster and the Surviving Corporation, that he, she or it shall have no independent right to pursue any such claim), (vii) receive any deliveries of the Merger Consideration (as adjusted pursuant hereto), or other amounts due to such Material Stockholder under the Transaction Documents, review and accept all calculations regarding such payments and negotiate any modifications thereto (and such Material Stockholder recognizes and acknowledges, for the benefit of Ticketmaster and the Surviving Corporation, that he, she or it shall have no independent right to pursue any claim regarding such payments, calculations or modifications), (viii) give and receive on behalf of the Material Stockholders any and all notices from or to any Material Stockholder or Stockholders under the Transaction Documents, (ix) if necessary or desirable, as determined by the Stockholders’ Representative in its sole discretion, incorporate corporations, organize partnerships, organize limited liability companies and take similar actions on behalf of the Material Stockholders and take all actions in connection therewith, and (x) otherwise exercise all rights of such Material Stockholder and otherwise act on behalf of such Material Stockholder under the Transaction Documents and in connection with any of the Transactions, in each case as if such Material Stockholder had personally done such act, and the Stockholders’ Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Any proceeds or other assets received by the Stockholders’ Representative from Ticketmaster, Merger Sub or the

Company on behalf of the Material Stockholders (including the Initial Merger Consideration and the Subsequent Merger Consideration) shall be distributed to the Material Stockholders as promptly as practicable by the Stockholders’ Representative, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation, insolvency or bankruptcy of any Material Stockholder shall not terminate such appointment or the authority and agency of the Stockholders’ Representative. The power-of-attorney granted in this Article XI is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(b) The Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any statements furnished to it by any other Material Stockholder, the Company, Ticketmaster, Merger Sub or any third Person or any other evidence reasonably deemed by the Stockholders’ Representative to be reliable, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to act on the advice of counsel selected by it.

(c) The Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to retain counsel acceptable to it and to incur such expenses as the Stockholders’ Representative deems to be necessary or appropriate in connection with its performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and all such fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative shall be a deducted from the Reserve Amount or otherwise shall be jointly and severally borne by each other Material Stockholder.

(d) The Material Stockholders hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative (in its capacity as such) against, and to hold the Stockholders’ Representative (in its capacity as such) harmless from, any and all Losses and other Liabilities of whatever kind which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Stockholders’ Representative in such capacity in any way relating to or arising out of its action or failures to take action pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(e) TNSH, LLC shall be the initial Stockholders’ Representative and shall serve as the Stockholders’ Representative until his resignation, which resignation shall only be effective upon the selection of a new Stockholders’ Representative as provided in this Section 11(e). Upon the resignation of TNSH, LLC, the Material Stockholders holding a majority of the Common Stock on an as converted basis as of immediately prior to the Closing shall select a new Stockholders’ Representative. Each time a new Stockholders’ Representative is appointed pursuant to this Agreement, such Person, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such appointment, shall accept such position in writing and execute a joinder to this Agreement and other Transaction Documents to which the Stockholders’ Representative is a party, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Ticketmaster.

(f) The provisions of this Article XI shall in no way impose any obligations on Ticketmaster or Merger Sub. In particular, notwithstanding any notice received by Ticketmaster or Merger Sub to the contrary, and absent bad faith or willful misconduct, Ticketmaster and Merger Sub (i) shall be fully protected in relying upon and shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall have no Liability to the Material Stockholders with respect to, actions, decisions and determinations of the Stockholders’ Representative and (ii) shall be entitled to

assume that all actions, decisions and determinations of the Stockholders’ Representative are fully authorized by all of the Material Stockholders.

(g) The Reserve Amount shall be used by the Stockholders’ Representative to cover fees and expenses incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with his acting in such capacity, to cover fees and expenses payable in connection with the Transactions that arise or become due and payable after Closing and may be used for such other matters in connection with the Transactions as the Stockholders’ Representative may reasonably determine in his sole discretion.

12.3 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a Contract made under, and shall be construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements entered into and to be wholly performed within such State, except (a) to the extent the Laws of the State of Delaware are mandatorily applicable to the Merger and (b) with respect to the provisions set forth in Section 7.7, which shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Illinois.

12.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents and the Non-Disclosure Agreement dated September 10, 2007, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties. This Agreement may only be supplemented, modified or amended by

written action by the Company and Ticketmaster. No course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto and no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any rights hereunder or thereunder shall operate as a waiver of the rights hereof and thereof. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

12.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

12.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed or held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be considered divisible and inoperative as to such provision to the extent it is deemed to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, and in all other respects this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that if any provision of this Agreement is deemed or held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable there shall be added hereto automatically a provision as similar as possible to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision that is legal, valid and enforceable. Further, should any provision contained in this Agreement ever be reformed or rewritten by any judicial body of competent jurisdiction, such provision as so reformed or rewritten shall be binding upon all parties hereto.

12.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Article X and Section 7.13, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

12.8 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that Ticketmaster and Merger Sub shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at Law or equity without the necessity of demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary damages.

12.9 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, (a) Ticketmaster will pay its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) the Company Transaction Expenses shall be paid by the Company prior to the Effective Time, or by the Stockholders after the Effective Time. In the event this Agreement is duly terminated pursuant to Article IX hereof, except as otherwise provided herein, each of the parties hereto shall be solely responsible for all of its respective accounting, legal, and broker fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions.

12.10 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by another party hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and, to the extent not so permitted, in any court sitting in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereto hereby (a) irrevocably submits with regard to any such

action or Proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Any service of process to be made in such action or Proceeding may be made by delivery of process in accordance with the notice provisions contained in Section 12.2. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (w) the defense of sovereign immunity, (x) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 12.10, (y) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (z) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law that (i) the suit, action or Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or Proceeding is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

12.11 Publicity. On and after the date hereof, Ticketmaster shall coordinate all publicity relating to the Transactions, including with respect to any press release, publicity statement or other public notice relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the Transactions; provided, however, that Ticketmaster shall, to the extent practicable, consult the Company with respect to, and give the Company an opportunity to review and comment upon (but not to consent to) any press release, publicity statement or other public notice made or issued with respect to the Transactions.

12.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF PROCEEDINGS, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
