parties’ settlement agreement per the Stipulation and Order Re Dismissal of Case and 

Jurisdiction Over Settlement entered on September 16, 2015. 

The settlement agreement requires the parties “to appoint a neutral third party to ensure 

that WPHA enters and continues to participate in the Auction until its bid is accepted by the 

FCC.” This settlement agreement required appointment of the neutral third party by December 

12, 2015, but the parties were unable to agree on the appointment. LPN’s Motion sought, inter 

alia, to compel appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory Services (“PwC”) to serve as 

the neutral third party. 

 

The Court, having considered the parties’ submissions and argument of counsel and 

files in this matter, and GOOD CAUSE appearing, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 

1. DTV shall execute the document entitled “Appointment of Neutral Third Party As 

Required Under Settlement Agreement,” a copy of which is attached hereto, thereby 

appointing PwC to serve as the neutral third party.

Appointment of Neutral Third Party 

As Required Under Settlement Agreement

Under Section 2 of the Settlement Agreement between D.T.V. LLC (“DTV”) and 

LocusPoint Networks, LLC (“LPN”), dated September 10, 2015 (the “Agreement”), DTV and 

LPN are to appoint a “neutral third party to ensure that WPHA enters and continues to

participate in the [FCC broadcast spectrum incentive auction] until its bid is accepted by the 

FCC.” 

As of the deadline for submitting applications to participate in the broadcast incentive 

auction (6:00pm ET on January 12, 2016) and until the announcement of the auction results 

(the so-called “quiet period” under the FCC’s rules against prohibited communications), LPN 

and DTV will be unable to communicate with each other regarding any aspect of WPHA’s (or 

any station’s) bids or bid strategy. DTV therefore hereby agrees to the appointment of 

Pricewaterhouse Coopers Advisory Services LLC (“PwC”) to ensure WPHA’s entry and 

continued participation in the FCC spectrum auction by cooperating with PwC in its 

performance of the services outlined in Attachment A hereto.

DTV further agrees to reimburse LPN at the conclusion of the “quiet period” for 50% of 

the fees and expenses reasonably incurred by PwC and paid by LPN in connection with WPHA 

up to a maximum reimbursement of $15,000 from the Auction proceeds.

LPN agrees that it will not seek or accept information (from PwC or otherwise) 

regarding any aspect of WPHA’s bids or bid strategy during the “quiet period”. LPN further 

agrees that it will use its best efforts to ensure that the PwC personnel working with DTV (the 

“PwC Monitor(s)”) do not provide other PwC personnel, LPN, or any other person or entity 

information regarding any aspect of WPHA’s bids or bid strategy during the “quiet period”.

ATTACHMENT A

(Services to Be Rendered By PwC)

1. Pre-Auction preparation – Prior to March 1, PwC will review and confirm the bidding 

strategy and procedures for WPHA’s participating in the Auction, as outlined in the 

parties’ agreement, with the individuals designated by DTV as its “Authorized 

Bidders” in its FCC Form 177 application to participate in the Auction. 

2. Monitoring Services in Support of WPHA/DTV – PwC will monitor the entry of bids 

for WPHA in each Auction round by DTV’s Authorized Bidders in the licensee 

computerized bid system established by the FCC, including acceptance of all FCC 

“Go Off-Air” price offers, as follows:

(a) In advance of each round of the Auction, the PwC Monitor(s) and 

Randolph Weigner (or, in event of his unavailability for any reason, the 

other Authorized Bidders) will confirm with each other electronically the 

date and starting and closing times for that round as announced by the 

FCC.

(b) Promptly upon the beginning of each round of the Auction, 

Randolph Weigner (or, in event of his unavailability for any reason, the 

other Authorized Bidders) will electronically transmit to the PwC 

Monitor(s) (1) the status of WPHA in that round of the Auction (e.g., 

“Active” or “Frozen”); and (2) the offer(s), if any made by the FCC for 

WPHA in that round of the Auction; and (3) DTV’s anticipated 

response(s) to those offer(s).

(c) Promptly upon submitting DTV’s WPHA-related response(s) to 

the FCC’s offer(s), and in any event prior to the end of that round of the 

Auction, Randolph Weigner (or, in event of his unavailability for any 

reason, the other Authorized Bidders) will electronically transmit DTV’s 

actually submitted WPHA-related response(s) to the PwC Monitor(s), by 

providing PwC a “screen shot” or similar confirmation of the 

response(s).

From the deadline for filing applications to participate in the Auction (January 12, 2016) until 

the FCC announces the Auction results (the “Quiet Period”), under no circumstances will 

PwC’s personnel who are in contact with DTV regarding WPHA’s Auction bids communicate 

any of the WPHA bids or bid strategies to LPN or be involved with any other station’s bids or 

bidding strategies. In addition, during the Quiet Period, PwC will take reasonable steps to 

assure that all PwC personnel who are designated as the primary or alternate PwC 

representative to a Station or Licensee will not be privy to, or communicate, the bids or bidding 

strategies of any other Station or Licensee. PwC will also implement internal controls during 

the Quiet Period to assure that information concerning the bids or bidding strategies of any

Station or Licensee to which PwC is providing Services will not be communicated by PwC to
