WHEREAS, CCU and Entertainment have entered into a Master Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2005 (the "Master Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, CCU will separate its live entertainment and related businesses and operations from the other businesses and operations of CCU by contributing, assigning and transferring such businesses, operations and related assets and liabilities to Entertainment and its Subsidiaries, as set forth in the Master Agreement;

WHEREAS, after the separation of the live entertainment and related businesses and operations from CCU by contribution, transfer and assignment to the Entertainment Group, CCU intends to divest its ownership interest in Entertainment through a distribution of such outstanding shares of Entertainment common stock to the shareholders of CCU, without any consideration being paid by the CCU shareholders;

WHEREAS, after such separation and distribution, both Entertainment and CCU desire for Management Services to provide certain transition administrative and support services to the Entertainment Group in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and Management Services desires to provide, or cause to be provided by other members of the CCU Group, such transition services and assistance to the Entertainment Group; and

WHEREAS, because of the parent-subsidiary relationships among CCU, Entertainment and Management Services, the terms and conditions set forth herein have not resulted from arms length negotiations between the parties, and accordingly, such terms may be in some respects less favorable to Entertainment than those it could obtain from unaffiliated third parties;

The "Services" also will include (1) any Services to be provided by the CCU Group to the Entertainment Group as agreed pursuant to Section 9.3(a), and (2) any Substitute Service; provided, however, that (i) the scope of each Service will be substantially the same as the scope of such service provided by the CCU Group to the Entertainment Group on the last day prior to the Distribution in the ordinary course; (ii) the use of each Service by the Entertainment Group will include use by the Entertainment Group's contractors in substantially the same manner as used by the contractors of the Entertainment Group prior to the Distribution; and (iii) nothing in this Agreement will require that any Service be provided other than for use in, or in connection with the Entertainment Business. Nothing in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Agreement will be deemed to restrict or otherwise limit the volume or quantity of any Service, provided, that, certain volume or quantity changes with respect to a Service may require the parties to negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon a price change with respect to such Service. If, for any reason, Management Services is unable to provide any Service pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Management Services will provide to the Entertainment Group a substantially equivalent service (a "Substitute Service") at or below the cost for the substituted Service as set forth in Schedules A and B and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Standard for Services.

The Services will include all functions, responsibilities, activities and tasks, and the materials, documentation, resources, rights and licenses to be used, granted or provided by the CCU Group that are not specifically described in this Agreement as a part of the Services, but are incidental to, and would normally be considered an inherent part of, or necessary subpart included within, the Services or are otherwise necessary for the CCU Group to provide, or the Entertainment Group to receive, the Services.

(c) This Agreement will not assign any rights to Technology or Intellectual Property between the parties, other than as specifically set forth herein.

COSTS AND DISBURSEMENTS; PAYMENTS

Section 4.1 Service Charges.

(a) Schedules A and B set forth with respect to each Service a description of the charges for such Service or the basis for the determination thereof (the "Service Charges"). Further, in connection with performance of the Services, the Provider will make payments for the benefit of, and on behalf of, the Recipient and will incur out-of-pocket costs and expenses

-7-

(collectively, the "Other Costs"), which will be reimbursed to the Provider by the Recipient; provided, that, any Other Costs will only be payable by the Recipient if it receives from the Provider reasonably detailed data and other documentation sufficient to support the calculation of amounts due to the Provider as a result of such Other Costs.

(b) The Provider will deliver an invoice to the Recipient on a monthly basis (or at such other frequency as is set forth in the applicable Schedule A or B) in arrears for the Service Charges and any Other Costs. The Recipient will pay the amount of such invoice to the Provider in U.S. dollars within 30 days of the date of such invoice, provided, that, to the extent consistent with past practice with respect to Services rendered outside the United States, payments may be made in local currency. If the Recipient fails to pay such amount (excluding any amount contested in good faith) by such date, the Recipient will be obligated to pay to the Provider, in addition to the amount due, interest on such amount at the lesser of (i) the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 100 basis points or (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, from the date the payment was due through the date of payment. As soon as practicable after receipt by the Provider of any reasonable written request by the Recipient, the Provider will provide the Recipient with reasonably detailed data and documentation sufficient to support the calculation of any amount due to the Provider under this Agreement for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of such calculation. If, after reviewing such data and documentation, the Recipient disputes the Provider's calculation of any amount due to the Provider, then the dispute will be resolved pursuant to Section 7.2.

Prior to payment of, or reimbursement for, such out-of-pocket expenses, the Provider will provide the Recipient with an invoice accompanied by reasonably detailed data and documentation sufficient to evidence the out-of-pocket expenses for which the Provider is seeking payment or reimbursement. Upon receipt of such invoice and data and documentation, the Recipient will either pay the amount of such invoice directly in accordance with its general payment terms with vendors or reimburse the Provider for its payment of the invoice within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such invoice. If the Recipient disputes the invoiced amount, then the parties will work together to resolve such dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute, the dispute will be resolved pursuant to Section 7.2.

With respect to each Service, the Recipient of the Service will either reimburse the Provider as incurred for all actual, out-of-pocket Conversion Costs incurred by the Provider and related to such Service or, after consultation with the Provider, pay such Conversion Costs directly on an as-incurred basis, in either case regardless of whether the Recipient replaces such Service with the same application, system, vendor or other means of effecting the Service. Prior to payment of, or reimbursement for, such actual out-of-pocket Conversion Costs, the Provider will provide the Recipient with an invoice accompanied by reasonably detailed data and documentation sufficient to evidence the out-of-pocket expenses for which the Provider is seeking payment or reimbursement.

Any such termination of an individual Service will not in any way affect the obligations of the party terminating such Service to continue to receive all other Services not so terminated and to continue to provide Services as required by this Agreement.

(c) In addition to and not in limitation of the rights and obligations set forth in Sections 2.1(d) and 2.2(b), upon the request of the Recipient of a Service, the Provider of such Service will cooperate with the Recipient and use its good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to assist the transition of such Service to the Recipient (or Affiliate of the Recipient or such third-party vendor designated by the Recipient) by the Service Termination Date for such Service.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination.

Upon termination or expiration of any Service pursuant to this Agreement, the relevant Provider will have no further obligation to provide the terminated Service, and the relevant Recipient will have no obligation to pay any future Service Charges or Other Costs relating to any such Service (other than for or in respect of Services provided in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and received by such Recipient prior to such termination). Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, no Provider will have any further obligation to provide any Service, and no Recipient will have any obligation to pay any Service Charges or Other Costs relating to any Service or make any other payments under this Agreement (other than for or in respect of Services received by such Recipient prior to such termination).

Section 8.4 Force Majeure.

No party hereto (or any member of its Group or any other Person acting on its behalf) will have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. A party claiming the benefit of this provision will, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event: (a) notify the other party of the nature and
