Each Company shall pay the Taxes allocated to it by this Section 2 either to the applicable Tax Authority or to the other Company (or, with respect to News Transaction Taxes, to the applicable Tax Authority or News) in accordance with Section 4 and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 3. Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.

(b) If a member of the LEI Group supplies information to a member of the LMC Group, or a member of the LMC Group supplies information to a member of the LEI Group, and an officer of the requesting member intends to sign a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then a duly authorized officer of the member supplying such information shall certify, to the best of such officer's knowledge, the accuracy of the information so supplied.

3.4 Special Rules Relating to the Preparation of Tax Returns.

(a) In General. All Tax Returns that include any members of the LEI Group or LMC Group, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the Ruling Request, the Ruling, and the Tax Opinions. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all Tax Returns for which LMC is responsible under Section 3.1 shall be prepared in accordance with elections, Tax accounting and other practices used with respect to such Tax Returns filed prior to the Merger Agreement Date (unless such past practices are not permissible under applicable Law), and to the extent any items are not covered by past practices (or in the event such past practices are not permissible under applicable Tax Law), in accordance with reasonable practices selected by LMC with the consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of LEI, unless (i) (w) the use of such election, Tax accounting or other practice proposed to be used by LMC, relates to Fox Sports Net Rocky Mountain, LLC, Fox Sports Net Northwest, LLC, or Fox Sports Net Pittsburgh, LLC, (x) LMC uses the same election, Tax accounting or other practice for the same item on the same Tax Return with respect to a member of the LMC Group, (y) no principal purpose for the use of such election, Tax accounting or other practice proposed to be used by LMC is to defer any income or gain into the Post-Distribution Period or to accelerate any item of deduction or credit into the Pre-Distribution Period, and (z) the use of such election, Tax accounting or other practice proposed to be used by LMC would not reasonably be expected to result in a material increase in the amount of Taxes or Losses for which LEI may be responsible under this Agreement, (ii) the use of such election, accounting or other practice proposed to be used by LMC would not reasonably be expected to result in more than a de minimis increase in the amount of Taxes or Losses for which LEI or its Affiliates may be responsible under this Agreement, (iii) otherwise required as a result of a Final Determination, or (iv) LMC indemnifies LEI and the members of the LEI Group for any additional amount for which they may be liable as a result. For the avoidance of doubt, LMC shall not make any election to apply Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2).

(b) LEI Tax Returns. With respect to any Separate Return for which LEI is responsible pursuant to Section 3.2(b), LEI and the other members of the LEI Group must allocate Tax Items

between such Separate Return for which LEI is responsible pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and any related Combined Return for which LMC is responsible pursuant to Section 3.1 that are filed with respect to the same Tax Year in a manner that is consistent with the reporting of such Tax Items on the related Combined Return for which LMC is responsible pursuant to Section 3.1.

(c) Election to File Consolidated, Combined or Unitary Tax Returns. LMC shall have the sole discretion of filing any Tax Return on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis, if such Tax Return would include at least one member of each Group and the filing of such Tax Return is elective under the relevant Tax Law.

(d) Compensatory Equity Interests.

(i) Deductions Related to Compensatory Equity Interests. To the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, Income Tax deductions with respect to the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement after the Distribution Date of any Compensatory Equity Interests held by any Person shall be claimed (A) in the case of an active employee, solely by the Group that employs such Person at the time of such issuance, exercise, vesting, or settlement, as applicable; (B) in the case of a former employee, solely by the Group that was the last to employ such Person; and (C) in the case of a director or former director (who is not an employee or former employee of a member of either Group), (x) solely by the LEI Group, if (i) such Income Tax deductions arise with respect to LEI Stock (or any options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units or other rights with respect thereto) and (ii) such Person is or was a director of any member of the LEI Group at any time following the Distribution Date, and (y) solely by the LMC Group in all other cases (the party whose Group is described in (A), (B), or (C), the "Employing Party").

(ii) Withholding and Reporting. For any Tax Year (or portion thereof), the Employing Party shall (A) satisfy, or shall cause to be satisfied, all applicable Tax reporting obligations with respect to the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement of Compensatory Equity Interests and (B) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, all liabilities for Taxes imposed in connection with such issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement (including the employer portion of any employment taxes); provided that, (x) in the event Compensatory Equity Interests are settled by the corporation that is the issuer or obligor under the Compensatory Equity Interest (the "issuing corporation") and the issuing corporation is not a member of the same Group as the Employing Party, the issuing corporation shall promptly remit to the Employing Party an amount of cash equal to the amount required to be withheld in respect of any withholding Taxes, and (y) the Employing Party shall not be liable for failure to remit to the applicable Tax Authority any amount required to have been withheld from the recipient of the Compensatory Equity Interest in connection with such issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement, except to the extent that the issuing corporation shall have remitted such amount to the Employing Party. LMC shall promptly notify LEI, and LEI shall promptly notify LMC, regarding the exercise of any option or the issuance, vesting, exercise or settlement of any other Compensatory Equity Interest to the extent that, as a result of such issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement, any other party may be entitled to a deduction or required to pay any Tax, or such information otherwise may be relevant to the preparation of any Tax Return or payment of any Tax by such other party or parties.

(iii) LMC Employees. For purposes of this Section 3.4(d), (x) if an officer or employee is on the payroll of LMC or any member of the LMC Group for any Tax Year (or portion thereof), then such officer or employee will exclusively be considered to be an employee of LMC (or the applicable member of the LMC Group) for such Tax Year (or portion thereof); and (y) if a Person is an officer or employee of LMC (or any member of the LMC Group) immediately prior to an LEI Transaction and ceases to be an officer or employee of LMC and

each other member of the LMC Group as a result of an LEI Transaction, or the LMC Group was the last Group to employ such Person immediately prior to an LEI Transaction, then such Person will exclusively be considered to be an employee of LMC (or the applicable member of the LMC Group) on the date the LEI Transaction is effected (regardless of whether such Person becomes an officer or employee of the LEI Group as a result of the LEI Transaction). For the avoidance of doubt the foregoing shall not apply to determine the status of any employee or officer of a member of the LEI Group for any period after the date of the LEI Merger. If following the LEI Merger, (x) an officer or employee is on the payroll of both LMC or any member of the LMC Group and LEI or any member of the LEI Group, or (y) a Person is an officer or employee of both LMC (or any member of the LMC Group) and LEI (or any member of the LEI Group), then such Person will be treated as an employee of both LMC and LEI and any Income Tax deductions referred to in Section 3.4(d)(i) shall be allocated between the LMC Group and the LEI Group based on the respective number of hours such Person spends providing services for LMC (or any member of the LMC Group) and the number of hours such Person spends providing services for LEI (or any member of the LEI Group); provided, however, that for purposes of the foregoing, a Person will not be considered to be an officer or employee on the payroll of, or an officer or employee of, LEI (or any member of the LEI Group) solely by reason of holding the position of (or performing services as) the Chairman of the Board of Directors of any member of the LEI Group or the receipt of compensation in connection therewith.

3.5 Refunds, Credits or Offsets.

(a) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Section 3.5 or Section 3.6, any refunds, credits or offsets with respect to Taxes of any member of (i) the LMC Group that were reported on any Combined Return shall be for the account of LMC, (ii) the LEI Group that were reported on any Combined Return and are attributable to the Pre-Distribution Period shall be for the account of LMC, (iii) the LEI Group that were reported on any Combined Return and are attributable to the Post-Distribution Period shall be for the account of LEI, (iv) the LMC Group that were reported on any Separate Return required to be filed by a member of the LMC Group shall be for the account of LMC, and (v) the LEI Group that were reported on any Separate Return required to be filed by a member of the LEI Group shall be for the account of LEI.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.5(a), (i) any refunds, credits or offsets with respect to Taxes, including Transaction Taxes and News Transaction Taxes, allocated to, and actually paid by, LMC pursuant to this Agreement shall be for the account of LMC, and (ii) any refunds, credits or offsets with respect to Taxes, including Transaction Taxes and News Transaction Taxes, allocated to, and actually paid by, LEI pursuant to this Agreement shall be for the account of LEI.

(c) LMC shall forward to LEI, or reimburse LEI for, any such refunds, credits or offsets, plus any interest received thereon, net of any Taxes incurred with respect to the receipt or accrual thereof and any expenses incurred in connection therewith, that are for the account of LEI within five business days from receipt thereof by LMC or any of its Affiliates. LEI shall forward to LMC, or reimburse LMC for, any refunds, credits or offsets, plus any interest received thereon, net of any Taxes incurred with respect to the receipt or accrual thereof and any expenses incurred in connection therewith, that are for the account of LMC within five business days from receipt thereof by LEI or any of its Affiliates. Any refunds, credits or offsets, plus any interest received thereon, or reimbursements not forwarded or made within the five business day period specified above shall bear interest from the date received by the refunding or reimbursing party (or its Affiliates) through and including the date of payment at the Interest Rate (treating the date received as the Due Date for purposes of determining such Interest Rate). If, subsequent to a Tax Authority's allowance of a refund, credit or offset, such Tax Authority reduces or eliminates such allowance, any refund, credit or offset, plus any interest received thereon, forwarded or reimbursed

under this Section 3.5 shall be returned to the party who had forwarded or reimbursed such refund, credit or offset and interest upon the request of such forwarding party in an amount equal to the applicable reduction, including any interest received thereon.

3.6 Carrybacks. To the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, LEI and its Affiliates shall waive the right to carryback any Tax attribute of the members of the LEI Group arising in a Post-Distribution Period to a Pre-Distribution Period. If and to the extent that LEI or any of its Affiliates is not permitted by applicable Tax Law to elect to forego such carryback and LEI requests in writing that LMC or any of its Affiliates obtain a refund, credit or offset of Taxes with respect to such carryback, and provided that LMC or any of its Affiliates would not otherwise be required to forego a refund, credit or offset of Taxes for its own account or otherwise be adversely affected as a result of such carryback, then (i) LMC (or its Affiliate) shall take all reasonable measures to obtain a refund, credit or offset of Tax with respect to such carryback (including by filing an amended Tax Return), and (ii) to the extent that LMC or any of its Affiliates receives any refund, credit or offset of Taxes attributable (on a last dollar basis) to such carryback, LMC shall pay such refund, credit or offset, plus any interest received thereon, to LEI within five business days from receipt thereof by LMC or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that LMC shall be entitled to reduce the amount of any such refund, credit or offset for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith and any Taxes incurred with respect to the receipt or accrual thereof; and provided further, that LEI, upon the request of LMC, agrees to repay such refund, credit or offset, plus any interest received thereon and net of Taxes, to LMC in the event, and to the extent, that LMC is required to repay such refund, credit or offset, plus any interest received thereon, to a Tax Authority.

3.7 Amended Returns. Any amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund, credit or offset with respect to any member of the LEI Group may be made only by the Company (or its Affiliates) responsible for preparing the original Tax Return with respect to such member pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2. Such Company (or its Affiliates) shall not, without the prior written consent of the other Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), file, or cause to be filed, any such amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund, credit or offset to the extent that such filing, if accepted, is likely to increase the Taxes allocated to, or the Tax indemnity obligations under this Agreement of, such other Company for any Tax Year (or portion thereof) by more than a de minimis amount; provided, however, that such consent need not be obtained if the Company filing the amended Tax Return agrees to indemnify the other Company for the incremental Taxes allocated to, or the incremental Tax indemnity obligation resulting under this Agreement to, such other Company as a result of the filing of such amended Tax Return.

SECTION 4. Tax Payments.

4.1 Payment of Taxes to Tax Authority. LMC shall be responsible for remitting to the proper Tax Authority the Tax shown on any Tax Return for which it is responsible for the preparation and filing pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, and LEI shall be responsible for remitting to the proper Tax Authority the Tax shown on any Tax Return for which it is responsible for the preparation and filing pursuant to Section 3.2.

4.2 Indemnification Payments.

(a) Tax Payments Made by the LMC Group. If any member of the LMC Group is required to make a payment to a Tax Authority for Taxes allocated to LEI under this Agreement, LEI will pay the amount of Taxes allocated to it to LMC not later than the later of (i) five business days after receiving notification requesting such amount, and (ii) one business day prior to the date such payment is required to be made to such Tax Authority.

(b) Tax Payments Made by the LEI Group. If any member of the LEI Group is required to make a payment to a Tax Authority for Taxes allocated to LMC under this Agreement, LMC will pay the amount of Taxes allocated to it to LEI not later than the later of (i) five business days after receiving notification requesting such amount, and (ii) one business day prior to the date such payment is required to be made to such Tax Authority.

4.3 Interest on Late Payments. Payments pursuant to this Agreement that are not made by the date prescribed in this Agreement or, if no such date is prescribed, not later than five business days after demand for payment is made (the "Due Date") shall bear interest for the period from and including the date immediately following the Due Date through and including the date of payment at the Interest Rate. Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates.

4.4 Tax Consequences of Payments. For all Tax purposes and to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, the parties hereto shall treat any payment made pursuant to this Agreement as a capital contribution or a distribution, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Distribution. If the receipt or accrual of any indemnity payment under this Agreement causes, directly or indirectly, an increase in the taxable income of the recipient under one or more applicable Tax Laws, such payment shall be increased so that, after the payment of any Taxes with respect to the payment, the recipient thereof shall have realized the same net amount it would have realized had the payment not resulted in taxable income. To the extent that Taxes for which any party hereto (the indemnifying party) is required to pay another party (the indemnified party) pursuant to this Agreement may be deducted or credited in determining the amount of any other Taxes required to be paid by the indemnified party (for example, state Taxes which are permitted to be deducted in determining federal Taxes), the amount of any payment made to the indemnified party by the indemnifying party shall be decreased by taking into account any resulting reduction in other Taxes of the indemnified party. If such a reduction in Taxes of the indemnified party occurs following the payment made to the indemnified Party with respect to the relevant indemnified Taxes, the indemnified party shall promptly repay the indemnifying party the amount of such reduction when actually realized. If the Tax benefit arising from the foregoing reduction of Taxes described in this Section 4.4 is subsequently decreased or eliminated, then the indemnifying party shall promptly pay the indemnified party the amount of the decrease in such Tax benefit.

SECTION 5. Assistance and Cooperation.

5.1 Cooperation. In addition to the obligations enumerated in Sections 3.3 and 7.7, LMC and LEI will cooperate (and cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to cooperate) with each other and with each other's agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters, including provision of relevant documents and information in their possession and making available to each other, as reasonably requested and available, personnel (including officers, directors, employees and agents of the parties or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates) responsible for preparing, maintaining, and interpreting information and documents relevant to Taxes, and personnel reasonably required as witnesses or for purposes of providing information or documents in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes.

5.2 Supplemental Rulings.

(a) Each of the parties agrees that, at the reasonable request of another party (the "Requesting Party"), LMC and LEI shall (and shall cause each member of its Group) to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to obtain, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, a Supplemental Ruling from the IRS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LMC shall not be required to file any Supplemental IRS Submission unless LEI represents to LMC that (i) it has reviewed the Supplemental IRS Submission, and (ii) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the LEI Group and their Affiliates contained in the Supplemental IRS Submission are true, correct and complete in all material respects. The Requesting Party shall reimburse the other

parties for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such parties or their Affiliates in connection with obtaining or requesting such Supplemental Ruling within five business days after receiving an invoice from such party therefor.

(b) LMC shall provide LEI with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each Supplemental IRS Submission to be filed by LMC prior to the filing of such Supplemental IRS Submission with the IRS, and LEI shall provide LMC with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each Supplemental IRS Submission to be filed by LEI prior to the filing of such Supplemental IRS Submission with the IRS. No Supplemental IRS Submission shall be filed by LEI with the IRS unless, prior to such filing LMC shall have agreed as to the contents of such Supplemental IRS Submission to the extent that the Supplemental IRS Submission (i) includes statements or representations relating to facts that are or will be under the control of any member of the LMC Group or any of its Affiliates or (ii) is relevant to, or creates, any actual or potential obligations of, or limitations on, any member of the LMC Group or any of their Affiliates; provided, however, that if the IRS requests same-day filing of a Supplemental IRS Submission that does not include any material issue or statement, then LEI is required only to make a good faith effort to notify LMC's representatives and to give such representatives an opportunity to review and comment on such Supplemental IRS Submission prior to filing it with the IRS. No Supplemental IRS Submission shall be filed by LMC with the IRS unless, prior to the filing, LEI shall have agreed as to the contents of such Supplemental IRS Submission to the extent that the Supplemental IRS Submission (i) includes statements or representations relating to facts that are or will be under the control of any member of the LEI Group or any of its Affiliates or (ii) is relevant to, or creates, any actual or potential obligations of, or limitations on, any member of the LEI Group or any of their Affiliates; provided, however, that if the IRS requests same-day filing of a Supplemental IRS Submission that does not include any material issue or statement, then LMC is required only to make a good faith effort to notify LEI's representatives and to give such representatives an opportunity to review and comment on such Supplemental IRS Submission prior to filing it with the IRS. Each Company (or its representatives) shall provide the other Company (or its representatives) with copies of each Supplemental IRS Submission filed with the IRS promptly following the filing thereof. Neither Company nor its representatives shall conduct any substantive communications with the IRS regarding any material issue arising with respect to any Supplemental Ruling, including meetings or conferences with IRS personnel, whether telephonically, in person or otherwise, without first notifying the other Company (or its representatives) and giving the other Company (or its representatives) a reasonable opportunity to participate, and a reasonable number of such Company's representatives shall have an opportunity to participate in all conferences or meetings with IRS personnel that take place in person, regardless of the nature of the issues expected to be discussed; provided, however, that in the case of communications concerning a Supplemental Ruling that occur during an unscheduled conference initiated by the IRS or a conference initiated by a Company or its representatives for a purpose unrelated to a Supplemental Ruling in connection with which it is not reasonably practicable to provide to the other Company or its representatives advance notice and an opportunity to participate, such Company (or its representatives) shall promptly update the other Company and its representatives as to the content of such communications. Each Company shall promptly provide the other Company (or its representatives) with copies of any correspondence received by such Company (or its representatives) from the IRS relating to any Supplemental Ruling.

SECTION 6. Tax Records.

6.1 Retention of Tax Records. Each of LMC and LEI shall preserve, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to preserve, all Tax Records that are in their possession, and that could affect the liability of any member of the other Group for Taxes, for as long as the contents thereof may

become material in the administration of any matter under applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (x) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitation, as extended, and (y) seven years after the Distribution Date.

6.2 Access to Tax Records. LEI shall make available, and cause its Subsidiaries to make available, to members of the LMC Group for inspection and copying (x) all Tax Records in their possession that relate to a Pre-Distribution Period, and (y) the portion of any Tax Record in their possession that relates to a Post-Distribution Period and which is reasonably necessary for the preparation of a Tax Return by a member of the LMC Group or any of their Affiliates or with respect to an audit or litigation by a Tax Authority of such return. LMC shall make available, and cause its Subsidiaries to make available, to members of the LEI Group for inspection and copying the portion of any Tax Record in their possession that relates to a Pre-Distribution Period and which is reasonably necessary for the preparation of a Tax Return by a member of the LEI Group or any of their Affiliates or with respect to an audit or litigation by a Tax Authority of such return.

6.3 Confidentiality. Each party hereby agrees that it will hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to hold, in confidence all records and information prepared and shared by and among the parties in carrying out the intent of this Agreement, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes or unless disclosure is compelled by a governmental authority. Information and documents of one party (the "Disclosing Party") shall not be deemed to be confidential for purposes of this Section 6.3 to the extent such information or document (i) is previously known to or in the possession of the other party or parties (the "Receiving Party") and is not otherwise subject to a requirement to be kept confidential, (ii) becomes publicly available by means other than unauthorized disclosure under this Agreement by the Receiving Party or (iii) is received from a third party without, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party after reasonable diligence, a duty of confidentiality owed to the Disclosing Party.

6.4 Delivery of Tax Records. On or before the Distribution Date, LMC shall provide to LEI (to the extent not previously provided or held by any member of the LEI Group on the Distribution Date) copies of (i) the Separate Returns of any member of the LEI Group, (ii) the relevant portions of any other Tax Returns with respect to any member of the LEI Group, and (iii) other existing Tax Records (or the relevant portions thereof) reasonably necessary to prepare and file any Tax Returns of, or with respect to, the members of the LEI Group, or to defend or contest Tax matters relevant to the members of the LEI Group, including in each case, all Tax Records related to Tax attributes of the members of the LEI Group and any and all communications or agreements with, or rulings by, any Tax Authority with respect to any member of the LEI Group.

Following the Effective Time, LEI shall not, and shall cause the members of the LEI Group and their Affiliates not to, and LMC shall not, and shall cause the members of the LMC Group and their Affiliates not to, take any action that, or fail to take any action the failure of which, (i) would be inconsistent with the LDIG Gamenet Restructuring qualifying, or would preclude the LDIG Gamenet Restructuring from qualifying, as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, (ii) would cause LMC or any Subsidiary of LMC immediately prior to the Distribution to recognize gain or loss, or otherwise include any amount in income, as a result of the Restructuring for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iii) would be inconsistent with the Contribution and Distribution qualifying, or would preclude the Contribution and Distribution from qualifying, as a tax-free transaction described under Sections 368(a), 355 and 361 of the Code, (iv) would cause LMC, LEI, any of their respective Subsidiaries at the Effective Time, or the holders of Liberty Entertainment Common Stock that receive stock of LEI in the

Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except, and only to the extent that, the indemnifying Company shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

Except as provided in Sections 7.6(b) and 7.8, each Company (or the appropriate member of its Group) shall have full responsibility, control and discretion in handling, defending, settling or contesting any Tax Contest involving a Tax reported (or that, it is asserted, should have been reported) on a Tax Return for which such Company is responsible for preparing and filing (or causing to be prepared and filed) pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.

(b) Non-Preparer Participation Rights. With respect to a Tax Contest (other than with respect to a Third Party Claim) of any Tax Return which could result in a Tax liability for which the Non-Preparer may be liable under this Agreement, (i) the Non-Preparer shall, at its own cost and expense, be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest, (ii) the Preparer shall keep the Non-Preparer updated and informed, and shall consult with the Non-Preparer, (iii) the Preparer shall act in good faith with a view to the merits in connection with the Tax Contest, and (iv) the Preparer shall not settle or compromise such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Non-Preparer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) if the settlement or compromise could have a more than de minimis impact on the Non-Preparer or its Affiliates.

7.7 Cooperation. The parties shall provide each other with all information relating to a Tax Contest which is needed by the other party or parties to handle, participate in, defend, settle or contest the Tax Contest. At the request of any party, the other parties shall take any action (e.g., executing a power of attorney) that is reasonably necessary in order for the requesting party to exercise its rights under this Agreement in respect of a Tax Contest. LEI shall assist LMC, and LMC shall assist LEI, in taking any remedial actions that are necessary or desirable to minimize the effects of any adjustment made by a Tax Authority. The indemnifying party or parties shall reimburse the indemnified party or parties for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in complying with this Section 7.7.

7.8 Third Party Claims. Each Company shall promptly give notice to the other Company of any pending or threatened Tax Contest, claim, action, suit, investigation or proceeding brought by a third party relating to (x) any Transaction Taxes or News Transaction Taxes or (y) any Transaction Tax-Related Losses or News Tax-Related Losses for which such Company is or may be indemnified by the other Company under this Section 7 (each, a "Third Party Claim"). Such notice shall contain (i) factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability or other claim in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority or third party relating to the Third Party Claim, and (ii) the amount of the Third Party Claim. Such notice shall be given within a reasonable period of time after notice thereof was received by such Company, but any failure to give timely notice shall not affect the indemnities given hereunder except, and only to the extent that, the indemnifying Company shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, each Company shall deliver to the other Company such additional information with respect to such Third Party Claim in its possession that the other Company may reasonably request. LMC and LEI will have the right to jointly control the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim; provided, however, that with respect to any Third Party Claim arising under the Tax Matters Agreement (or otherwise subject to the indemnification provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement), LEI's rights to jointly control, or otherwise participate in the defense of, such Third Party Claim will be subject to the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, and LEI acknowledges that it will be limited to those rights that LMC is able, through use of reasonable efforts, to obtain on behalf of LEI under the Tax Matters Agreement. LMC shall use reasonable efforts to provide LEI with the right to jointly control with LMC any Third Party Claim arising under the Tax Matters Agreement (or otherwise subject to the indemnification provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement); provided, however, that LMC shall not be required to relinquish any rights that it has to control the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Party Claim (other than to LEI pursuant to the foregoing). LMC hereby agrees to make a partial assignment to LEI of any rights it has under the Tax Matters Agreement to allow LEI to jointly control with LMC and News the defense, compromise or settlement of any Tax Contest relating to a News Transaction Tax for which LEI has any indemnity obligation hereunder. No indemnified Company shall settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Company, which consent may be withheld in the indemnifying Company's sole discretion. No indemnifying Company shall settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnified Company, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

7.9 Other Claims. In the event any LMC Indemnitee should have a claim against LEI, or any LEI Indemnitee should have a claim against LMC, under this Section 7 that does not involve a third party action, such indemnified Company (or LMC on behalf of all LMC Indemnitees or LEI on behalf of all LEI Indemnitees, as applicable) shall as promptly as practicable notify the indemnifying Company of such claim, describing such claim and the factual basis thereof, the amount of such claim (if known) and the method of computation of such amount, all with reasonable particularity.

SECTION 8. General Provisions.

8.1 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at such time as all obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto have been satisfied. The obligations and liabilities of the parties arising under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all such obligations have been satisfied and such liabilities have been paid in full, whether by expiration of time, operation of law, or otherwise.

8.2 Predecessors or Successors. Any reference to LMC, LEI, News, DTV, a Person, or a Subsidiary in this Agreement shall include any predecessors or successors (e.g., by merger or other reorganization, liquidation, conversion, or election under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3) of LMC, LEI, News, DTV, such Person, or such Subsidiary, respectively.

8.3 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, each party and its Subsidiaries shall bear their own expenses incurred in connection with preparation of Tax Returns and other matters related to Taxes under the provisions of this Agreement for which they are liable.

8.4 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF. Any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Chancery Court"), or, if the Delaware Chancery Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in the federal courts located in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereby consents to personal jurisdiction in any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 8.6 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

8.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.5.

8.8 Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a) This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except with respect to a merger of a party, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that each of LMC and LEI may assign its respective rights, interests, duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement to any other member of their Group, but such assignment shall not relieve LMC or LEI, as the assignor, of its liabilities or obligations hereunder.

(b) In the event of (i) any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of LEI (on a consolidated basis) to any person or group, including by means of a stock dividend, stock redemption, spin-off, split-off or similar transaction or event (the Person whose securities are issued in payment therefor or, if no securities are so issued, the Person(s) who hold title to such assets, a "LEI Asset Successor"), in one or a series of related transactions, or (ii) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, conversion of LEI from a corporation to a limited liability company or other legal entity or other business combination or similar transaction affecting LEI, that results in the exchange or conversion of equity securities of LEI for or into equity securities or other consideration (x) consisting of securities issued by the successor or the surviving entity to LEI upon consummation of such transaction (the "LEI Successor Entity") or, if the successor or surviving entity in such transaction is a Subsidiary of a publicly traded or privately held parent company (the "LEI Successor Parent"), securities of the LEI Successor Parent delivered in such transaction, or (y) consisting of cash or other consideration paid or payable by any LEI Successor Entity or LEI Successor Parent (the applicable of the LEI Asset Successor, the LEI Successor Entity and the LEI Successor Parent, the "LEI Successor"), then (i) all references herein to capital stock or other equity interests of LEI shall mean and refer to, for periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the consummation of such transaction, the equivalent securities of or ownership interest in the LEI Successor, as applicable, and (ii) prior to, and as a condition to effecting any such asset transfer or business combination (or in the case of a series of transactions, the first such transaction), the LEI Successor shall have executed and delivered to LMC an instrument, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to LMC, pursuant to which such LEI Successor has agreed, effective upon the consummation of such transaction, to be bound by and perform all of the covenants and agreements made by LEI hereunder and upon such consummation such LEI Successor will be jointly and severally liable with LEI for all of the obligations and liabilities of LEI under this Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.8(b) will be applicable to any successor or any parent thereof (as determined in accordance with the foregoing) to any LEI Successor; provided that, effective as of immediately

following the Merger Effective Time, the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.8(b) shall cease to apply so long as Holdings has executed a joinder agreement in accordance with Section 6.25 of the Merger Agreement.

8.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon a determination that any provision of this Agreement is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the provisions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable law. Any consent provided under this Agreement must be in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such consent is sought.

8.11 Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective on the date recited above on which the parties entered into this Agreement.

8.12 Change in Law. Any reference to a provision of the Code or any other Tax Law shall include a reference to any applicable successor provision or law.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any LEI Indemnitees any rights or remedies against LEI hereunder, and this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any LMC Indemnitees any rights or remedies against LMC hereunder.

8.15 Entire Agreement.

Any and all prior correspondence, conversations and memoranda are merged herein and shall be without effect hereon. No promises, covenants or representations of any kind, other than those expressly stated herein, have been made to induce any party to enter into this Agreement.

Any amounts awarded in respect of the claim asserted against News shall be deposited with a third party escrow agent mutually acceptable to LMC and LEI. Following the resolution of the Third Party Claim, the escrow agent shall release to LEI an amount of the proceeds equal to the amount of the indemnification claim that LEI has against LMC hereunder, and the escrow agent shall release the remainder of the proceeds to LMC. LMC shall not amend, modify or terminate the Tax Matters Agreement, or waive any rights thereunder, without the prior written consent of LEI.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by the respective officers as of the date set forth above.
