AGREEMENT

2.Relationship. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to create any partnership, joint venture or employment relationship, or any relationship of principal and agent, between Viggle (or any employee of Viggle) and SFX (or any employee of SFX). Neither Party shall have the right or authority by reason of this Agreement to assume or create any obligations on behalf of the other Party or to bind or make any representations on behalf of the other Party, except with its written consent.

ARTICLE II. DUTIES
1.Duties. During the term of this Agreement, each Party agrees to provide such services and/or to cause certain of its designated employees to perform the services as are requested from time to time by the other Party as set forth on Schedule 2.1 (the “Services”) (such schedule may be amended from time to time by the written agreement of the Parties).
2.Procedure for Requesting Services. Each Party may request the other Party to perform any or all of the Services by written or oral notice. The Parties acknowledge that most requests will be oral. Such requests shall include a description of the scope of the Services requested and any limitations on Viggle’s ability to act on behalf of SFX and SFX’s ability to act on behalf of Viggle.
3.Timely and Professional Service. Each Party agrees to make available the personnel and other resources necessary to perform the Services in a timely and efficient manner when requested by the other Party and to perform the Services with due diligence and in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with common industry practices.

Each Party shall inform any employees, contractors, directors, officers and agents to whom the Party discloses such information of the requirements of this Agreement. The requirements of this Section 2.5 shall not apply to the extent that it can be established by the receiving Party, by competent proof, that such information: (i) was already known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the other Party other than under an obligation of confidentiality; (ii) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving Party; (iii) became generally available to the public or was otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; or (iv) was disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party who was not under an obligation to the disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others (all such information to which none of the foregoing exceptions applies, “Confidential Information”).
6.Exceptions to Obligation. The restrictions contained in Section 2.5 shall not apply to Confidential Information that is otherwise required to be disclosed in compliance with law or governmental regulations, or order of a court or other regulatory body; provided that if a receiving Party is required to make any such disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall give advance written notice, if practicable, to the other Party of such disclosure requirement and will use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed.
7.Remedies. Each Party shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have, at law or in equity, to seek an injunction, enjoining or restraining the other Party from any violation or threatened violation of Sections 2.5 and 2.6.

11.Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to be in default under, or in breach of any provision of, this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation of this Agreement when such failure or delay is due to Force Majeure. For purposes of this Agreement, Force Majeure is defined as causes beyond the control of the Party, including, without limitation, acts of God; acts, regulations, or laws of any government adopted after the date of this Agreement or subject to an interpretation after the date of this Agreement that render impossible or illegal performance by a Party of its obligations under this Agreement; war; civil commotion; destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, flood, earthquake, explosion or storm; acts of terrorism; epidemic; and failure of public utilities or common carriers.

Upon termination of a Force Majeure event, the performance of any suspended obligation or duty shall promptly recommence. To the extent possible, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any Force Majeure.
