Subsidiary of Parent (other than Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision),
in the filing of a combined state or local income tax return with such
jurisdiction if Panavision and/or any Subsidiary of Panavision had filed with
each such jurisdiction a separate return (in a case where only one member of

of each such month if Panavision were filing a consolidated federal income tax
return for such Taxable Period for an affiliated group of corporations of which
Panavision was the common parent and that consisted only of the members of the
Panavision Group. Such estimated federal income tax liability shall be
determined consistent with the calculation of the Panavision Group's Federal
Tax and shall reflect the estimated taxable income of the Panavision Group
projected for three, six, nine and twelve months, respectively.
(b) For every Taxable Period with respect to which Panavision and/or
any Subsidiary of Panavision participates in the filing of a combined state or
local income tax return with Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent (other than
Panavision or any Subsidiary of Parent), Panavision shall pay to Parent, no
later than the fifth day prior to the date an estimated state or local payment
is due, the amount of estimated taxes that Panavision and/or any such Subsidiary

where only one member of the Panavision Group joins in the
filing of such combined return) or a combined return including only those
members of the Panavision Group actually joining in such combined return (in a
case where more than one member of the Panavision Group joins in the filing of
such combined return). Such estimated state or local income tax liability shall
be determined consistent with the calculation of the Panavision Group's State
and Local Tax.
4. Time and Form of Payment.
(a) Payments between Panavision and Parent pursuant to Paragraph 2
hereof shall be made no later than the fifth day prior to the due date of the
Parent Group's consolidated federal income tax return or any relevant combined
state or local income tax return for the period for which such a payment is due.
If the due date for any such return is extended, any amounts due at the time of
filing a request for extension of time to file shall be paid on an estimated
basis. No later than five (5) days prior to the extended due date for such
return for such Taxable Period, Panavision's payment shall be recalculated, and
any difference between (i) the tax liability of the Panavision Group to be
reflected on such return and (ii) all prior Estimated Tax Payments with respect
to such Taxable Period shall be paid by such fifth day to the party entitled
thereto, with interest from the original due date at the relevant statutory
rate.
(b) Each Subsidiary of Panavision agrees to pay to Panavision its
share of each of the items of the Panavision Group's Federal Tax and the
Panavision Group's State and Local Tax and of Estimated Tax Payments, each such
share to be determined in accordance with the principles of Paragraphs 1(c),
I(e), 3(a) and 3(b) hereof, no later than one (1) business day prior to the date
upon which the relevant payment by Panavision is required to be made under the
terms hereof, Panavision agrees
to pay to each Subsidiary of Panavision its share of any payment received by
Panavision from Parent pursuant to this Agreement, each such share to be
determined in accordance with the principles of Paragraphs 1(c), 1(e), 3(a) and
3(b) hereof, as promptly as practicable following the receipt of any such
payment and the determination of such share.
5. Adjustments.
(a) Redeterminations of Tax Liability. In the event of any
redetermination of the consolidated federal income tax liability of the Parent
Group for any Taxable Period (or of the combined state or local income tax
liability for any Taxable Period for which a combined return is filed) as the
result of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (or the relevant state or
local taxing authorities), a claim for refund or otherwise, the Panavision
Group's Federal Tax (or the Panavision Group's State and Local Tax) shall be
recomputed for such Taxable Period and any prior and subsequent Taxable Periods
to take into account such redetermination, and payments due pursuant to
Paragraph 2 hereof shall be appropriately adjusted. Any payment for any Taxable
Period by Panavision to Parent or Parent to Panavision required by such
adjustment shall be paid within ten (10) days after the date of a Final
Determination with respect to such redetermination or as soon as such adjustment
practicably can be calculated, if later, together with interest for the period
at the rate provided for in the relevant statute.
(b) Refund of Tax Sharing Payment. In the event that the calculation
of the Panavision Group's Federal Taxable Income (or the Panavision Group's
State and Local Taxable Income) for any Taxable Period results in a loss, such
loss may
be carried back and deducted in calculating the Panavision Group's Federal Tax
(or the Panavision Group's State and Local Tax) for prior Taxable Periods in the
same manner as it would have been carried back and deducted had it constituted a
net operating loss deduction under Section 172 of the Code or a net capital loss
deduction under Section 1212 of the Code (or in the case of state and local tax,
under applicable state or local provisions), as such provisions would have been
applied to a consolidated (or combined) return filed with respect to the
Panavision Group (or one or more members thereof), but after taking into account
any limitation on the use of such loss imposed pursuant to Section 382, 383, 384
or 904 of the Code or Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1502-15A, 1.1502-15T,
1.1502-20, 1.1502-21A, 1.1502-21T, 1.1502-22A, 1.1502-22T, 1.1502-91T,
1.1502-92T, 1.1502-93T or 1.1502-94T (or with respect to state and local tax,
applicable state or local provisions). In such case, the Panavision Group's
Federal Tax (or the Panavision Group's State and Local Tax) shall be recomputed
for the Taxable period or Periods to which such loss is carried and for any
subsequent Taxable Periods to take into account the deduction of such loss, and
payments made pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof shall be appropriately adjusted. In
the case of any carryback of a loss pursuant to his paragraph 5(b), any payment
between Parent and Panavision required by such adjustment shall be paid within
ten (10) days after the date of filing the consolidated federal income tax
return of the Parent Group (or the relevant combined state or local income tax
return) for the year in which such loss arises. Excess credits for any Taxable
Period shall be carried back and otherwise treated in a manner consistent with
the provisions of this Paragraph 5.
6. Interest on Unpaid Amounts.
In the event that any party fails to pay any amount owed pursuant to this
Agreement within ten (10) days after the date when due, interest shall accrue on
any unpaid amount at the "designated rate" from the due date until such amounts
are fully paid, For purposes of this Agreement, the "designated rate" shall mean
ten percent (10%).
7. Indemnification
Parent shall indemnify Panavision and each Subsidiary of Panavision on an
after-tax basis (taking into account, when realized, any tax detriment or tax
benefit to Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision of (x) a payment hereunder
or (y) the liability to the Internal Revenue Service or state, local or foreign
taxing authority giving rise to such a payment), with respect to and in the
amount of:
(a) any liability to the Internal Revenue Service for federal income
tax incurred by Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision for any Taxable
Period with respect to which Panavision is included in a consolidated federal
income tax return filed on behalf of the Parent Group;
(b) any liability for state or local income tax to a state or local
taxing authority incurred by Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision with
respect to any jurisdiction for any Taxable Period with respect to which
Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision participates in the filing of a
combined return with Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent (other than Panavision
or any Subsidiary of Panavision);
(c) any liability for federal, state or local income tax to the
Internal Revenue Service or a state or local taxing authority, as the case may
be, incurred
by Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision, to the extent attributable to any
member of the Parent Group (other than Panavision or any Subsidiary of
Panavision) and for which Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision is liable
as a result of being included in a consolidated federal income tax return of the
Parent Group or as a result of participating in the filing of a combined state
or local income tax return with Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent (other than
Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision); and
(d) interest, penalties and additions to tax, and costs and expenses
in connection with any liabilities described in Paragraphs 7(a), (b) and (c)
above.

Final Determination with respect thereto.
8. Filing of Returns, Payment of Tax Payment of Tax.
(a) Appointment of Parent as Agent. Each of Panavision and each
Subsidiary of Panavision hereby appoints Parent as its agent, so long as
Panavision or such Subsidiary is a member of the Parent Group, for the purpose
of filing consolidated federal income tax returns and for making any election or
application or taking any action in connection therewith on behalf of Panavision
or such Subsidiary consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Each of
Panavision and each Subsidiary of Panavision hereby appoints Parent as its
agent, so long as Panavision or such Subsidiary is a member of the Parent Group,
for the purpose of filing any combined state or local income tax returns that
Parent may elect to file and for making any election or
application or taking any action in connection therewith on behalf of Panavision
or such Subsidiary consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Each of
Panavision and each Subsidiary of Panavision hereby consents to the filing of
such returns, and to the making of such elections and applications. Parent
agrees that to the extent the filing of any combined state or local return by
Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent with Panavision, or any Subsidiary of
Panavision for any period will reduce the state or local tax liability of
Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision, without causing an increase in the
state or local tax liability of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent (other than
Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision) in such period, Parent will file or
cause to be filed for such taxable period a combined state or local income tax
return with Panavision and/or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such
filing is permitted by applicable state or local law. Except as provided in this
Paragraph 8, nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Parent or any
Subsidiary of Parent to file combined state or local income tax returns on
behalf of any members of the Patent Group for any taxable period.
(b) Cooperation. The Panavision Group shall cooperate with Parent in
the filing, to the extent permitted by law, of a consolidated federal income tax
return and such combined state or local income tax returns for members of the
Parent Group as Parent elects to file or cause to be filed, by maintaining such
books and records and providing such information as may be necessary or useful
in the filing of such returns and executing any documents and taking any actions
which Parent may reasonably request in connection therewith. Parent and the
Panavision Group shall provide one another with such information concerning such
returns and the application of payments
made under this Agreement as Parent or the Panavision Group may reasonably
request of one another.
(c) Payment of Tax. For each Taxable Period, Parent shall timely pay
or discharge, or cause to be timely paid or discharged, the consolidated federal
income tax liability of the Parent Group for such Taxable Period and the
combined state or local income tax liability shown on any combined return that
Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent elects or is required to file that includes
Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision.
9. Resolution of Disputes.
Any dispute concerning the calculation or basis of determination of any
payment provided for hereunder shall be resolved by the independent certified
public accountants for Parent, whose judgment shall be conclusive and binding
upon the parties, in the absence of manifest error.
10. Adjudications.
In any audit, conference, or other proceeding with the Internal Revenue
Service or the relevant state or local authorities, or in any judicial
proceedings concerning the determination of the federal income tax liabilities
of the Parent Group, Panavision or any Subsidiary of Panavision or the state or
local income tax liability of any combined group including Panavision or any
Subsidiary of Panavision, the parties shall be represented by persons selected
by Parent. Parent shall undertake any settlement or other action that it is
permitted to take pursuant to this Paragraph 10 affecting the income tax
liability of any member of the Panavision Group or any amount payable by
Panavision to or receivable by Panavision from Parent with the same diligence
and care
as if such action pertained to an income tax liability of Parent and as if any
amount that might be so payable or receivable by Panavision were payable or
receivable by Parent. Each of Panavision and each Subsidiary of Panavision
hereby appoints Parent as its agent for the purpose of proposing and concluding
any such settlement.
11. Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns.

Panavision that is a signatory hereto and each Subsidiary of Panavision that
becomes a party hereto pursuant to Paragraph 19 hereof. This Agreement shall

parties hereto (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary of Panavision
that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Paragraph 19). Parent, Panavision and
each other party hereto may assign its right to receive payments under this
Agreement but may not assign or delegate its obligations hereunder.

state and local income tax liabilities of Parent and the Panavision Group, and

allocation in this Agreement.

rendered in connection with (1) the preparation of a consolidated federal or
