              GRANT
      OF RIGHTS:

            


    

    


    (a)           Satellite Capacity
Lease. TESC hereby leases to Playboy, for the sole purpose of
transmitting the Services in a digitally-compressed and encrypted format, two
(2) video channels of capacity on one or more Ku-Band and/or Ka-Band satellites
with full CONUS coverage, which are directly or indirectly owned, operated,
leased or otherwise controlled or employed in whole or in part by TESC, as such
satellite(s) are designated from time to time by TESC in its sole
discretion.

    


    (b)           Transmission. Playboy
hereby grants to TESC and its Affiliates, and TESC hereby accepts, the
non-exclusive right, license (including without limitation the license to all
copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights appurtenant to the
programming comprising the Services) and obligation throughout the Term (only as
specifically set forth in this Lease) to transmit the Services in the Territory
via the Transmission System for Subscription Purchases, PPV Purchases, Package
Purchases, to the extent that TESC receives programming from Playboy for
transmission on a SVOD basis as set forth below, SVOD Selection and, to the
extent that TESC receives programming from Playboy for transmission on a VOD
basis as set forth below, VOD Purchases, for viewing, exhibition and display by
Subscribers. For clarity, TESC shall have the right to transmit the Services via
the Transmission System to (i) residential locations, including all forms of
multiple dwelling unit or communal living facilities (e.g. apartments, condos,
town homes, duplexes, dormitories, retirement homes, mobile home parks, planned
unit developments, master planned communities, gated residential communities,
multiple dwelling units, colleges and universities and housing cooperatives),
(ii) guest facilities (e.g. hotels, motels, RV parks, truck stops, and assisted
living facilities) where the guest facility provides conditional access or can
otherwise ensure the viewers are not minors, (iii) private [non-commercial]
airplanes, recreational vehicles and commercial hauling vehicles; and (iv) to
enable the transfer of any programming licensed hereunder to handheld devices
that can download content from a digital recording device (but, subject to
Section 3(c) below, not mobile phones or other similar wireless communications
devices that could receive and decode the Signal directly, and not through a
receiver or decoder). The aforementioned notwithstanding, TESC shall have no
right to distribute the Services in any public area. In furtherance of and
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Playboy agrees and
acknowledges that TESC shall have the right to (A) subject to the requirements
of Section 3(f) of this Lease, transmit the Services in an Adult Package; and
(B) authorize and de-authorize IRDs and Set-Top Boxes to receive the Services as
necessary to permit transmission of the Services as allowed by this
Lease.

    


    (c)           Transmission to Computers;
Transmission to Mobile Hand-held Devices. Notwithstanding the final
sentence of Section 1(w) above, each of Playboy and TESC shall use its and their
respective good faith efforts to negotiate and execute an amendment to this
Lease, within seventy-five (75) days of the Effective Date hereof, pursuant to
which TESC and/or its Affiliate DISH Network L.L.C. (“DISH”) may transmit
Playboy controlled programming to the computers of Subscribers who are
authenticated purchasers of a Service by Internet streaming via the World Wide
Web and/or ‘pull’ technology. Until such time as the parties reach written
agreement on the scope and terms of such transmission, no such rights shall be
deemed granted hereunder. *****. Playboy agrees to participate in commercially
reasonable discussions regarding opportunities for TESC to transmit Playboy
controlled programming to the mobile hand-held device(s) (including, without
limitation, cellular telephones) of Subscribers.

    (d)           Packaging. TESC shall
have the right to include the Services in the Adult Showcase as well as any
other Adult package(s), and to sell the Services (or either of them) on an
a-la-carte basis; provided however, that TESC shall have the obligation to
include Fresh! in the
Adult Showcase. To the extent logically consistent, TESC shall package Fresh! in other PPV packages
containing at least two (2) other Adult services no less favorably than it does
any other XX1⁄2 Adult service. For clarity, Playboy acknowledges that it is not
logically consistent to include Fresh! in a package of all
XXX services, in a package of services from a single provider, or a package
comprised of services selected by a Subscriber, so long as the Subscriber has
the option to select Fresh!. In addition, TESC
shall have the right but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to transmit
Playboy TV in packages
of non-Adult premium services. In the case of premium packages, payments between
the parties shall be handled as set forth in Section A of Exhibit B for a Subscription
Purchase of Playboy TV,
and shall not be handled as set forth in Section B of Exhibit B. For the purpose of
clarity, the allocation of Gross Revenue shown in the table in Section A of
Exhibit B shall apply
and not the Adult Package allocation set forth in Section B of Exhibit B. Purchases of Playboy TV in connection with
such premium packages shall constitute Subscription Purchases of Playboy TV for purposes of
this Lease.

    


    (e)           Transmitted
Programming. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, TESC shall have the right to transmit each of the Services to Subscribers
on each of the following bases: (i) as a subscription service whereby
Subscribers can make Subscription Purchases; (ii) on a PPV basis whereby
Subscribers can make PPV Purchases; (iii) as part of an Adult Package
transmitted for PPV Purchases and/or Subscription Purchases; (iv) if made
available by Playboy, in its sole and absolute discretion, on a video on demand
basis whereby Subscribers can make VOD Purchases; and (v) to the extent made
available by Playboy in its sole and absolute discretion, on a SVOD basis made
available to Subscribers either for no charge or for a fee.

    


    (f)       
    Signals. In addition
to and without limiting the generality of the grant of rights contained above,
TESC shall have the right and license to receive the Services at the Facility
and to digitize, compress or otherwise technologically manipulate the Signals,
as received at the Facility, and transmit the technologically modified Signals
via the Transmission System to Subscribers in the Territory.

    


    (g)           Transport. In
addition to and without limiting the generality of the grant of rights contained
in this Lease, to the extent not prohibited by Law, TESC and its Affiliate
EchoStar Holdings Corporation shall have the right and the license to transport
and arrange for the transport of the Signal for a Service to third parties who
gain rights to such Service independent of TESC including, without limitation,
to cable system operators (both franchised and non-franchised); provided, that if,
within thirty (30) days after receipt by TESC from Playboy of written notice
that any such third party is not complying with any material requirements,
restrictions, or limitations contained in such party’s agreement with Playboy,
the third-party operator still is not complying with the applicable provision,
then TESC shall cease delivery of the Services to the third-party operator;
further
provided, that Playboy shall indemnify TESC in accordance with the
Indemnification section of this Lease for any such termination to the extent
that such termination is in breach of Playboy’s contract with such third party
or otherwise unlawful.

    (h)           Sub-Distribution. In
addition to and without limiting the generality of the grant of rights contained
in this Lease, TESC and its Affiliate DISH shall have the right and the license
to sub-distribute, re-sell and/or otherwise retransmit the Services to
Distributors who do not offer the Services over platforms that are Transmission
System Exclusions (collectively, “Sub-Distributors”) including, without
limitation, cable system operators and service providers to developments such as
master planned communities, gated residential communities, homeowners’
associations, multiple dwelling units, colleges and universities, and housing
cooperatives (which sub-distribution may include sub-distribution to parties
that may use various technological methodologies to obtain and distribute the
Service including, without limitation, C-band receive facilities such as SMATV
systems and all forms of wireless and wire-line data distribution technology
such as BSS or FSS satellite regardless of frequency or band, copper wire, fiber
optic, or coaxial cable and all forms of terrestrial wireless either now
existing or hereafter developed); provided, that TESC
shall not subdistribute, re-sell, and/or sublicense a Service to a franchised
cable television system that has more than five thousand (5,000) contiguous
Subscribers without the prior written consent of Playboy. Distribution under
this paragraph must be performed by Sub-Distributors (i) using a method whereby
the distribution terminates at a Set-Top Box, (ii) using a method that does
not include the use of technologies that are Transmission System Exclusions, and
(iii) who have technology to provide conditional access and parental controls
protection that is at least equivalent to that used by TESC.  If,
within thirty (30) days after receipt by TESC from Playboy of written notice
that a Sub-Distributor is not complying with an applicable material term of this
Lease, or of TESC otherwise becoming aware that a Sub-Distributor is not
complying with an applicable material term of the Lease, the Sub-Distributor
still is not complying with the applicable term, then TESC shall cease delivery
of the Service to the Sub-Distributor; provided, that TESC
shall use reasonable efforts to immediately cease transmission to any
Sub-Distributor that TESC has knowledge is delivering a Service in violation of
applicable Law. All revenues received by TESC from Sub-Distributors attributable
to the Services, and any VOD Purchases, if applicable, shall be included in the
calculation of Gross Revenues and all Subscribers receiving the Services through
Subdistributors shall be counted for purposes of Section 5(a) of the Lease and
Section (C) of Exhibit
B. In addition, TESC shall have the right but not the obligation to
receive the Signals from any other Distributor. TESC shall contractually require
that Sub-Distributors comply with all applicable obligations imposed upon TESC
for distribution of the Services to its Subscribers under the Lease, including
without limitation, Section 5 (DELIVERY AND TRANSMISSION OF THE SERVICES) and
Section 8 (MARKETING AND USE OF MARKS). TESC shall indemnify Playboy in
accordance with the Indemnification section of this Lease for any claims
relating to TESC’s sub-distribution of either Service.

    


    (i)        
   Marketing. In
addition to and without limiting the generality of the grant of rights contained
above, TESC and the retail distribution network of it or its Affiliates shall
have the right and the license, but, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, not the obligation, to advertise, promote, publicize, market and
offer the Services in the Territory to Subscribers and potential Subscribers
pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.

    


    (j)     
      Spillover.
Notwithstanding the definition of Territory, Playboy understands and agrees that
the Signals, when transmitted from a satellite, may extend beyond the geographic
boundaries of the Territory and that such ‘spill-over,’ in and of itself, shall
not constitute a breach of this

    Lease;
provided that
TESC does not knowingly authorize the receipt of the Services outside the
Territory.

    


    (k)           Interactive. TESC and
Playboy agree to negotiate in good faith to transmit a Playboy interactive
product. TESC agrees that it shall not treat Playboy less favorably with respect
to an interactive product than it treats other providers of Adult programming
with respect interactive products.

    


    (l)           *****

    


    (m)           Reservation of
Rights. Subject to and without limiting subsection (1) if this Section 3
in any manner whatsoever, all rights not expressly granted by Playboy to TESC
shall be specifically reserved by Playboy. Additionally, except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement, Playboy does not, directly or by implication, by
estoppel or otherwise, grant to TESC any rights or licenses, and TESC shall not
have any ownership rights in any intellectual or tangible property of Playboy,
including derivative works (as defined in the United States Copyright Act of
1976, Title 17 USC Section 101 et seq.) or any intellectual property rights
related thereto, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

    (b)           Limitations. Playboy

number) offerings and live chat offerings (the “Audiotext Spots”) as
follows: (x) if the break is ***** in length, Audiotext Spots shall not exceed
***** during such break; and (y) if the break is ***** in length, Audiotext
Spots shall not exceed ***** during such break; provided, that, in

Audiotext Spots. Playboy agrees that there shall not be ***** of Audiotext Spots
on any of the Services during any ***** period.

    


    (c)           PPV Purchases.
Playboy shall schedule the programming contained on the Services such that it is
substantially suitable for PPV Purchases. Specifically, Playboy shall make
reasonable efforts to provide the programming contained in Playboy TV in ***** and the
programming contained in the other Services in *****; provided that, upon
agreement of the parties, such time period ‘blocks’ may be
adjusted.

    


    (d)           Advertising. In
addition to Playboy’s right to schedule Audiotext Spots, Playboy shall have the
right to include third party advertising on each of the Services up to *****
(collectively, “Third
Party Advertising”); provided, that in the
event that Playboy includes Third Party Advertising, TESC shall have the right
to ***** via the insertion of its own commercial, promotional or other
announcements (each an “Avail”); *****.

    Services
shall not include any advertising or messages which in any way disparage TESC,
any Affiliate of TESC or the Transmission System either specifically or
satellite distribution, generally. *****. Except as specifically provided
herein, Playboy shall not black out any programming that airs on either of the
Services and the Services shall not include any programming for which Playboy
seeks a surcharge or additional fee of any kind. In addition to and without
limiting any other rights and remedies TESC may have, TESC shall have the right
to declare Playboy in breach of this Lease if Playboy violates any of the
foregoing ***** following written notice to Playboy from TESC and Playboy’s
failure to withdraw the programming in question within ***** of receiving the
written notice. No Avail shall: 1) include any advertising or messages which in
any way disparages Playboy or any Affiliate of Playboy, 2) include any calls to
action or similar messages (except with regard to viewer participation related
to the programming on any Service) that Playboy has not agreed to in advance and
in writing, and 3) promote any Adult programming service not affiliated with
Playboy (excluding, for clarity, any advertisements for the Adult Showcase or
other Adult Package or premium package containing a Service).

    


    (e)       
    Second Service.
Playboy agrees that it will not use any of the Services to nest or incubate
another programming service within such Service (a “Second Service”), nor
will it ‘clone’ a Service into a Second Service by duplicating programming from
the Service on to any such Second Service and/or by removing programming from
the Service and distributing it on such Second Service, unless Playboy grants to
TESC the right, exercisable in TESC’s sole discretion, to transmit the Second
Service on terms no less favorable than those granted to any Distributor of the
Second Service. TESC shall have no obligation to transmit a Second Service.
Nothing in this paragraph will prohibit Playboy from using a branded block of
programming on the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TESC acknowledges
that Playboy may cross-utilize up to ***** of the programming content from Fresh! on one (1) or more
other Playboy controlled service(s), and agrees that such cross-utilization
shall not be a breach of this subsection (e).

    


    (f)  
         Same Programming
Requirement. Taking into account time zone differences, during the Term
each feed of the programming on each of the Services, as delivered to TESC at a
given point in time, shall be the same as that feed of programming delivered by
Playboy to all Distributors in the Territory at such point in time; except that
the Services may contain customized branding particular to a specific
distributor, and that any such customization does not modify any shows (as
opposed to interstitial time between shows) in a material way. If Playboy does
provide any customization, then TESC shall have the unconditional right to
transmit the programming included in the Services customized in a similar
fashion as Playboy is providing to Distributors in the Territory on the same
terms and conditions, and Playboy shall ensure that such programming is
delivered to TESC in accordance with the delivery terms contained herein. TESC,
at its option, shall transmit any additional feeds of the Services (including,
without limitation, any additional time zone feeds or any SAP feeds) without any
reduction of rent earned by TESC provided for in this Lease; provided, that in the
event that Playboy would incur material costs and expenses to provide TESC any
such additional feeds, Playboy shall notify TESC in writing thereof, and the
parties shall discuss, in good faith, the terms and conditions governing the
provision of such additional feed(s) to TESC.

    


    (g)           Closed Captioning.
Playboy agrees that during the Term it shall, at its sole expense, include as
part of the Signals closed-captioning and video-descriptioning to the full
extent

    required
by any current or future federal, state or local law, rule or regulation
(collectively, the “Law”), and to the
extent required to ensure that TESC is in compliance with all such Laws,
regardless of whether such Law imposes the obligation to include closed
captioning or video descriptioning, as applicable, on Playboy or TESC. Playboy
acknowledges and agrees that neither TESC nor any of its Affiliates, shall have
any liability in connection with Playboy’s failure to prepare, insert or include
closed-captioning or video descriptioning, as applicable, in the Services as
required by this subsection. Playboy also agrees to cooperate with TESC on a
commercially reasonable basis to the extent necessary and desirable to establish
compliance with any such Laws, and Playboy shall provide TESC with all documents
reasonably necessary for TESC to demonstrate compliance with such Laws in a
timely manner. Claims arising out of violations of this subsection are subject
to the indemnification provisions of this Lease.

    


    (h)           Rating Information.
During the Term, Playboy shall, at its sole expense, include as part of the
Signals ratings information or other such data in compliance with the
voluntary-participation FCC parental ratings guidelines (the “Ratings Guidelines”)
and any applicable Laws that would enable Subscribers to exercise parental
controls over the programming on the Services, and such ratings information or
other data shall be compatible with Set-Top Boxes and standard industry
interactive technology implementing parental controls. Playboy shall provide
complete, accurate program rating data to TESC’s designated data provider as
requested, or as otherwise required in this Lease. Playboy acknowledges and
agrees that neither TESC, nor any of its Affiliates, shall have any liability in
connection with Playboy’s failure to prepare, insert or include or program
rating information in the Services as required by this subsection. Playboy also
agrees to cooperate with TESC on a commercially reasonable basis to the extent
necessary and desirable to establish compliance with any such guidelines or
Laws, and Playboy shall provide TESC with all documents reasonably necessary for
TESC to demonstrate compliance with such guidelines and Laws in a timely manner.
Claims arising out of violations of this subsection are subject to the
indemnification provisions in accordance with the terms of the “Indemnification”
section of this Lease.

    


    (i)       
    Other Laws. In the
event that any programming on a Service is regulated by any Law other than those
specified above that is applicable to TESC or its Affiliates, then Playboy shall
comply with the Law, ensure that the Services comply with the Law and provide
TESC with all documents reasonably necessary for TESC to demonstrate compliance
with the Law in a timely manner.

    


    (j)    
       Streaming. *****.
Playboy shall make commercially reasonable efforts to differentiate the Service
from the content that Playboy streams over the Internet (excluding the content
that Playboy makes available, in conjunction with Distributors, to the computers
of authenticated Playboy TV subscribers).

    


    (k)           Deviation. if for any
reason, TESC, in good faith, determines that a Service includes programming
prohibited in this Section 4 (a “Deviation”), TESC
shall provide Playboy with written notice stating the basis for such Deviation.
If such Deviation has not been cured within ninety (90) days from the date TESC
provided such notice, TESC shall have the right, without limiting any rights or
remedies, at its sole option to: 1) preempt the Deviation, if such Deviation is
less than *****, or 2) discontinue transmission of such Service if such
deviation is greater than

    *****.
The foregoing right shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies
available to TESC in this Lease.

    


    (l)            Preemption. In the
event that TESC reasonably determines that an individual program provided by
Playboy as part of a Service has a reasonable likelihood of materially damaging
TESC or any of its Affiliates as a result of governmental actions or lawsuits
brought by third parties, then TESC shall notify Playboy of the potential issue
in writing as soon as practicable. Should Playboy elect to not remove the
program in question from the Service, then TESC shall have the right to pre-empt
the offending program, and to prevent its transmission to
Subscribers.

    


    (m)           Certificate of
Compliance. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request by
TESC at any time during the Term (but in no event more than once per calendar
year), Playboy shall deliver to TESC written certification (i) of its compliance
or non-compliance (as the case may be) with this Section 4 signed by an officer
of Playboy.

    


    (n)           Remedies. Playboy
acknowledges that its substantial compliance with the material provisions of
this Section 4 is of the essence to this Lease.

              DELIVERY
      AND TRANSMISSION OF THE SERVICES:

            


    

    


    (a)           TESC’s Transmission
Obligation. As of the Effective Date, TESC already transmits the
Services. Subject to and without limiting the Opt Out Location provisions of
this Lease, during the Term, TESC shall make each Service available to all
permitted Subscribers (authorized hereunder) then in good standing. For clarity,
Playboy agrees and understands that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth herein, TESC has no obligation to transmit the Services in any manner
which is now, or at any time hereafter may be, prohibited under applicable
local, state or federal laws and regulations, including without limitation
statutes, laws, rules, regulations and orders enforced, administered,
promulgated or pronounced by the Federal Communications Commission or any
successor agency thereto, as amended from time to time.

    


    (b)           Delivery by
Playboy.

    


    (i)           Delivery of Signals.
Playboy shall, at its own cost and expense, transmit to TESC for receipt by the
Facility, the Signals with a high degree of video and audio quality, which in
any event shall be in accordance with TESC’s reasonable technical requirements
and in compliance with industry standards of the Adult content industry.
Further, Playboy shall, at its own cost and expense, (A) transmit the Signals to
the Facility using a domestic communications satellite commonly used for the
transmission of pay television programming which is receivable at all times
during the Term by the Facility without additional expense to TESC; (B) fully
encode and scramble the Signals using technology, standards, practices and
procedures which are generally accepted throughout the pay television industry;
and (C) have in place appropriate back-up transponder space on a second domestic
communications satellite. TESC acknowledges that Playboy is providing the
Signals for the Services to TESC as of the Effective Date. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this “Delivery by Playboy” subsection or any other part of
the Lease, all costs and expenses incurred with respect to reception of the
Services from the satellite by the Facility and its transmission shall be borne
by TESC.

    (ii)           Change in Delivery
Method. Playboy may, from time to time, change the satellite being used
for transmission of one or both of the Signals; provided, that any
satellite used by Playboy to transmit a Signal shall be a domestic
communications satellite commonly used for the transmission of pay television
programming that is receivable at all times by the Facility. In the event of any
such proposed change, Playboy shall provide TESC with at least ninety (90) days’
prior written notice of the proposed effective date of such proposed change;
provided, that
if such a change is the result of a force Majeure, Playboy agrees to provide
TESC with written notice as soon as reasonably practicable. If, as a result of
any change as set forth herein, TESC will incur out-of-pocket expenses for
additional satellite receiving or other equipment needed to receive or transmit
a Service, Playboy agrees within ten (10) days of receiving such notice from
TESC of such expenses either to provide the necessary equipment (at Playboy’s
sole discretion) or to contribute a pro rata portion of such additional
equipment expense, which shall be determined by multiplying the total amount of
such expense by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one (1) for each
affected Service and the denominator of which shall be the number of cable
program services to be received and transmitted by TESC from such new satellite
as of thirty (30) days after the effective date of such change.

    


    (iii)           Encryption Change. If
Playboy proposes to change the method by which the Signal of a Service is
encoded, scrambled or digitized to a method different from that by which it is
encoded, scrambled or digitized as of the Effective Date, Playboy will give TESC
at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of the effective date of such
proposed change. If, as a result of such change, TESC will incur out-of-pocket
expenses for additional decryption, decoding or digitization equipment, Playboy
agrees within ten (10) days of receiving such notice from TESC of such expenses
either to provide the necessary equipment (at Playboy’s sole discretion) or to
reimburse TESC for such expenses; provided, that
Playboy’s reimbursement of such expenses shall be pro rated in the manner set
forth in Section 5(b)(ii) above in the event that such additional decryption,
decoding, or digitization equipment is shared among the Services and other cable
program services.

    


    (c)           Programming Schedule.
Playboy shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to TV Guide
Data Solutions, Inc. (a subsidiary of Gemstar-TV Guide International, Inc.) and
TV Data (a subsidiary of Tribune Media Services, Inc.) the metadata information
necessary to allow these entities to provide an accurate description of
programming to be included in the Services (not including the SVOD and VOD
offerings.) Guide information for the SVOD and VOD offerings will be provided in
the metadata file that is provided with the SVOD and VOD programming. Nothing in
this paragraph will prevent Playboy from changing the programming contained on
the Services; provided that Playboy
will use commercially reasonable efforts to update guide information on a timely
basis. Playboy shall: (i) ensure that the time blocks available for viewing are
correctly mapped to the length of any given movie or feature, and (ii) provide
complete, accurate and timely program schedules and program rating data to
TESC’s designated data provider (currently Tribune Media Systems), as that data
provider may be changed from time to time, at least eight (8) weeks in advance
of the air date as transmitted by TESC. Playboy will use commercially reasonable
efforts to accommodate a request by TESC to alter the start time of any program
as requested from time to time in advance and in writing by TESC or its
Affiliates. In the event that it is not commercially reasonable for Playboy to
accommodate such a request, the parties will work together in good faith to
resolve the issue that caused TESC to request the start time
alteration.

    (d)           Transmission by TESC.
Playboy acknowledges that TESC may digitize, compress and encode the Signals and
that, on occasion, the Transmission System may be down for maintenance. Neither
such digitizing, compression and encoding, or such maintenance downtime shall be
deemed a prohibited interruption or alteration of the Services. TESC may provide
Subscribers with, and provide the Services using, VCR or PVR-like
functionality.

    


    (e)           Reservation of Rights to
Bandwidth. TESC agrees to transmit the principal video and accompanying
audio portions of the Signal (the “Primary Signal”).
TESC reserves all rights in and to, and reserves all rights to use, all parts of
each Signal, other than the Primary Signal, including without limitation any
portions of the bandwidth that may be created or made useable as a result of the
digitization or compression of the Signal and including without limitation,
audio sub-carriers and all lines of the vertical blanking interval (“VBI”) (and/or its
digital equivalent) from the Facility through to Subscribers. Nothing contained
in this Lease shall restrict TESC from using any and all of the bandwidth of a
Signal from the Facility through to Subscribers by any means or for any purpose
so long as the use does not materially degrade or interfere with the quality of
the Primary Signal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TESC shall transmit to
Subscribers who order the Services: (i) all data or information that the FCC or
any applicable Law requires TESC to transmit in an industry-standard format
reasonably specified by ESC; (ii) up to one (1) second language audio for the
programming then being transmitted; and (iii) program content advisory materials
for the programming then being transmitted (“Required Materials”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, TESC shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to transmit any material, information,
data, images, sounds or features contained or embedded in or around any portion
of the feed provided to TESC for the Signals that is not part of the Primary
Signal or part of the Required Materials; provided, that such
use does not materially degrade or interfere with the quality of the Primary
Signal.

    


    (f)           Embedding. Playboy
shall not embed any information, data, images, sounds or features into or around
any portion of the Signal for a Service (collectively, “Embedded
Information”) that is not related to the Service. Playboy agrees that it
shall not include any Embedded Information that cannot be removed and/or blocked
by the Transmission System using equipment then-existing and available at the
Facility. Playboy hereby consents to such removal and blocking, and agrees to
provide to TESC assistance and information reasonably requested by TESC with
respect to the removal and/or blocking, as long as the removal and/or blocking
will not remove, block, interfere with or impede in any way the Primary Signal
or the Required Materials. If TESC removes Embedded Information, TESC shall have
the right to send equivalent information through some other part of its
broadcast system than the Signal. If the equipment required for removal or
blocking is commonly used in the cable television industry by DBS providers,
TESC shall be responsible for obtaining the equipment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Playboy agrees that, other than Required Materials, it shall not
include any Embedded Information that would impede, interfere with or degrade
the function of any hardware, software, firmware or any other equipment or
device used by TESC or its Affiliates or degrade the Primary Signal. Playboy
represents that, other than the Required Materials, it is not currently engaged
in embedding any Embedded Information, and Playboy agrees that is shall provide
TESC with ninety (90) days advance written notice (or such shorter time as is
practicable under the circumstances) of its intention to embed any Embedded
Information prior to commencement of such embedding, which notice shall describe
with specificity the information Playboy intends to embed and the technical
placement of the information within a Signal. Provided that Playboy
provides

    TESC with
notice as required by this Section, and provided that such materials can be
stripped by TESC as set forth in this Section, TESC consents to the embedding by
Playboy of DRM material in the Signals. Further, Playboy agrees that after
commencement of the embedding, it shall provide TESC with at least one hundred
twenty (120) days advance written notice (or, if shorter, the maximum length of
time that is practicable under the circumstances) of its intention to change any
of the Embedded Information and/or the technical placement of the Embedded
Information within a Signal. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the signal
distribution capacity contained within the bandwidth of each Signal between
Playboy’s transmission point and the Facility or other first downlink facilities
shall belong exclusively to Playboy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section, Playboy agrees that it shall embed in the Signal of
each of Services program rating data (for standard definition, such data shall
be delivered in accordance with CEA 608-C (or its then-current successor); for
high definition, Playboy shall provide CEA 608-C (or its then-current successor)
compatibility data within CEA-708-B (or its then-current successor) structures
as described in CEA 708-B or its then-current successor).

    


    (g)           Interruption or Alteration
of Services. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Services shall be
transmitted to Subscribers by TESC as they are delivered by Playboy to TESC,
without interruption or alteration. Playboy acknowledges that TESC or its
Affiliates may digitize, compress and encode the Signals and that, on occasion,
the Transmission System may be down for maintenance (for the minimum amount of
time necessary). Neither such digitizing, compression and encoding, or such
maintenance downtime shall be deemed a prohibited interruption or alteration of
a Service. Subject to the remainder of this Section 5(g), TESC shall not, and
shall not authorize other persons to, copy, tape, or otherwise reproduce any
part of a Service for commercial use without Playboy’s prior written
authorization. Neither TESC nor any person transmitting the Service in
accordance herewith shall be responsible or liable for home recording of all or
any part of a Service by Subscribers. This Section 5(g) will not be deemed to
restrict or prohibit Subscribers from using VCR or PVR-like functionality with
respect to the Service (e.g., time-shifting, pausing, fast forwarding or
rewinding the programming that airs on the Service), which is expressly
permitted.

    


    (h)           Security. TESC shall
employ commercially reasonable security systems to prevent theft, pirating and
unauthorized exhibition of the Services. TESC shall further employ commercially
reasonable parental control technology to protect against minors obtaining
access to the Services. TESC shall contractually require that Sub-Distributors
agree to comply with this Section.

    


    (i)           
DRM. If TESC
implements a digital rights management (“DRM”) system, TESC
shall negotiate in good faith with Playboy to allow Playboy to participate in
the DRM with respect to the Services.

    


    (j)       
    Public Distribution.
TESC shall not knowingly permit, and shall take appropriate and commercially
reasonable precautions to prevent any use of the Services transmitted by TESC by
any party which is not a Subscriber who has made a Subscription Purchase, PPV
Purchase or VOD Purchase, and will further use reasonable efforts to prevent any
public distribution of the Services by Subscribers to the extent that TESC
becomes aware of such distribution. TESC shall contractually require that
Sub-Distributors agree to comply with this Section.

              RENT:

            


    

    


    (a)           Rent. TESC shall
collect payments from Subscribers in connection with Subscription Purchases, PPV
Purchases, Package Purchases and, if applicable VOD Purchases and SVOD
Selections and shall retain the amounts of Gross Revenues set forth in Exhibit B as
Rent.

    


    (b)           Gross Revenues. For
purposes of this Lease, “Gross Revenues” means
the aggregate amount received by TESC, its Affiliates or Sub-Distributors from
Subscribers in connection with PPV Purchases, Subscription Purchases, VOD
Purchases, SVOD Selections and Package Purchases of programming on all of the
Services, including any amounts received as payment for partial months of
Subscription Purchases, but shall not include any amounts collected in
connection with taxes, assessments, or other fees imposed by any governmental or
quasi-governmental authority. Additionally, and without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the parties agree that Gross Revenues shall not include *****.
The parties agree that TESC may, in its sole discretion, credit the account of
any Subscriber in connection with a cancellation, postponement or delay by the
Subscriber, a technical difficulty which impedes or impairs the Subscriber’s
reception, or any other problem which adversely affects the quality of the
Subscriber’s receipt of a Service (each a “Refund”) and that the
amount of any such Refund shall be deducted from Gross Revenues for purposes of
calculating Gross Revenues. TESC may in its reasonable discretion reduce Gross
Revenues to adjust for ***** from Subscribers, which adjustment may be made in
accordance with TESC’s standard accounting practices for recognition of such
***** (i.e. as a percentage of revenue across all pay per view orders and not
limited to the Services), but in no event shall such adjustment for ***** exceed
*****. TESC will provide Playboy details of such ***** calculation in the
reports described in Section 7(a). Under no circumstances will any revenues
attributable to the following be regarded as Gross Revenues: (i) revenues
from TESC’s and/or any of its Affiliates’ test sites; provided, that each
such test is available for viewing only by requesting age-verified adults and
does not violate any and complies with all Laws; and (ii) *****; and (iii)
equipment fees or charges, monthly fees or related amounts paid by Subscribers
that are not directly attributable to the viewing of a specific Service (except
that monthly subscription fees payable for viewing an Adult Package shall be
included as set forth in this Lease). TESC agrees that it shall, during the
Term, provide to one location of Playboy’s choosing a free feed of the Services
and the other Adult programming services transmitted by TESC.

    


    (c)           Payment by TESC.
Beginning as of the Effective Date, TESC shall remit to Playboy all amounts of
Gross Revenue that it is not entitled to retain as Rent or otherwise under this
Lease no later than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar month during
which the Reporting Period (as defined in Exhibit B) during which TESC
receives such amounts ends. TESC shall remit such funds by check made payable to
Playboy sent by ordinary mail, overnight courier, or electronic transfer to the
address set forth for payments below the signature block of this Lease (or such
other address as Playboy may direct in writing). Any amounts not paid by TESC
when due shall accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half percent per month
or at the highest lawful rate, whichever shall be the lesser, compounded monthly
from the date such amounts were due until they are paid.

    (a)           Reports. No later
than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar month during which a
Reporting Period ends during the Term, TESC shall deliver to Playboy a report
setting forth for the corresponding Reporting Period: (i) Gross Revenues and
actual subscribers figures for each unique retail rate from Subscription
Purchases for each Service; (ii) Gross Revenues and actual buy figures from PPV
Purchases for each Service; (iii) Gross Revenues and actual buy figures,
including title by title reporting for each unique retail rate from Fresh! VOD Purchases;
(iv) Gross Revenues and actual buy figures for each unique retail rate from
SVOD Selections; (v) Gross Revenues quotients and actual buy figures from
Package Purchases; (vi) the amount of Rent paid by Playboy and retained by TESC;
(vii) the amount of any monies remitted to Playboy as Playboy’s share of Gross
Revenues (viii) the name and location to whom TESC is transporting the Signal of
the Services.

    


    (b)           Playboy’s Audit
Rights. TESC agrees to keep and maintain accurate books and records of
PPV Purchases, Subscription Purchases, Package Purchases, SVOD Selections, VOD
Purchases, Gross Revenues, including in connection with subdistribution of the
Services via Subdistributors. During the Term and for one (1) year thereafter,
Playboy shall have the right, upon at least sixty (60) days prior written
notice, and at Playboy’s expense, to conduct an audit of TESC’s books and
records that are reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the such
amounts, compliance with all terms and conditions contained in this Lease and
any reports by TESC; provided, that the
audited books and records shall be limited to only records relating directly to
(i) Playboy and (ii) Adult Packages containing one (1) or both of the Services
(provided that, in no event shall TESC be required to disclose personally
identifiable subscriber information to Playboy or its auditor under any
circumstance whatsoever). The audit shall be conducted by an independent
nationally-recognized certified public accounting firm selected by Playboy and
approved by TESC, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and
the audit firm shall execute a non-disclosure agreement acceptable to TESC, in
its reasonable discretion. TESC hereby approves Cable Audits Associates for the
foregoing purposes. Any audit shall be conducted during TESC’s regular business
hours (such hours to be determined in TESC’s sole discretion) at TESC’s office
where the records are regularly maintained. Playboy’s right to perform an audit
shall be limited to once in any consecutive twelve (12)-month period, and
Playboy shall not be entitled to audit for any particular time period more than
once unless, in each instance, specific follow-up audits are required because of
a bona fide dispute. Any audit shall be limited to the books and records of the
preceding and current year only. Playboy shall provide the results of any audit
to TESC within four (4) months of completing the audit and any such information
shall be deemed the confidential information of TESC pursuant to the
“Confidentiality” section of this Lease. All TESC reports, books and records,
and the results of any audit, shall be deemed Confidential Information for
purposes of the “Confidentiality” section of this Lease. Playboy shall submit
any claims of non-compliance as a result of an audit to TESC in writing within
four (4) months after the auditors leave TESC’s offices; otherwise, Playboy
shall have waived its right to such claim. Any audit hereunder shall be deemed
completed upon the auditors completing their field work at TESC’s offices
(unless TESC fails to reasonably cooperate with the audit and auditors in terms
of provided information required hereunder and excluding any subsequently
discovered data that would have an impact on the auditor’s findings and report).
Any claim as a result of an audit shall be limited to the current year and the
immediate preceding year. In addition, *****, then TESC shall reimburse Playboy
for the reasonable and documented

    costs and
expenses of Playboy’s inspection and audit. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this subsection, under no circumstances shall Playboy’s
auditor be entitled to provide Playboy with any information that reveals the
identity of any third party to the extent such revelation would violate the
confidentiality or other express provisions of any of TESC’s or its Affiliates’
agreements with third parties.

    


    
      	
              8.

            	
              MARKETING
      AND USE OF MARKS:

            


    

    


    (a)           Marks. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Lease, Playboy hereby licenses to TESC and its
Affiliates, and TESC and its Affiliates shall have the limited right to use, the
Marks to promote the Services and the Transmission System. Additionally, TESC
shall have the right to provide the Marks to any Affiliate’s third party retail
distribution network as well as any other third parties who are selling the
Services by or through TESC or its Affiliates (including by way of example but
not limitation, Sub-Distributors). TESC acknowledges that the Marks, any other
of Playboy’s names, trade names, service marks, trademarks and/or logos
(including, without limitation, the names, titles or logos of certain programs
that appear in the Services and any subsequently selected names or marks for the
Services) are the exclusive property of Playboy and its suppliers and that
neither TESC nor its Affiliates have or will acquire any proprietary or other
rights in the Marks other than the right to use as set forth in this Lease. TESC
further acknowledges the great value of the goodwill associated with the Marks
and the public renown and recognition of the same, and that the Marks have a
distinctiveness and a secondary meaning that is firmly associated in the minds
of the trade and general public with Playboy, and that any goodwill in the Marks
which may be created through the use of the Marks by TESC or an Affiliate shall
inure to the sole benefit of Playboy. Upon execution of the Lease, Playboy shall
provide to TESC usage guidelines with respect to the use of the Marks. Except as
provided in this Lease, TESC and its Affiliates shall at no time adopt or use,
without Playboy’s prior written consent, any variation of the Marks in
contravention of the usage guidelines, or any word or mark likely to be similar
to or confused with a Mark; provided, that once
Playboy has approved a use of a Mark, TESC and its Affiliates shall have the
right to continue use of the Mark in the same or substantially similar way
unless Playboy sends TESC written notice that such usage is no longer permitted.
TESC shall not modify or manipulate a Mark without the prior consent of Playboy.
TESC shall submit to Playboy for approval any of TESC’s or its Affiliates’
promotional materials mentioning or using the Marks, other than those mentioning
or using the Marks in conformance with the usage guidelines and other than
materials provided by Playboy, if any, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided such
materials are otherwise in compliance with this subsection. Uses of the Marks in
routine promotional materials such as program guides, program listings and bill
stuffers, or in a manner previously approved by Playboy, shall be deemed
approved for all subsequent uses unless Playboy specifically notifies TESC to
the contrary. Where approval by Playboy is required, TESC and its Affiliates
shall submit any initial use of the Marks to Playboy for Playboy’s prior written
approval at least ten (10) business days prior to their intended distribution.
Any such approval must be granted or withheld within ten (10) business days of
Playboy’s receipt of materials for approval, provided that a lack of response
from Playboy shall not be deemed disapproval; provided however, that in the
event that Playboy does not reply, TESC may resubmit the materials to Playboy
for approval and failure by Playboy to respond within (5) business days of
Playboy’s receipt of such resubmission shall be deemed approval. Playboy’s
disapproval for the purposes of this Section may be given telephonically.

    promotional
materials provided by Playboy to TESC shall be deemed automatically approved,
but only for the purpose and specific context provided. TESC will not
disseminate any material that does not comply with the requirements of this
subsection (a). TESC shall not make available to any third party all or any part
of the Marks for any sponsorship, advertising, promotional public service, or
commercial announcement of any party, product, or service, nor shall TESC use
any of the Marks for any sponsorship, advertising, promotional public service,
or commercial announcement of any party, product, or service not previously
approved by Playboy.

    


    (b)           Playboy Marketing
Assistance. Playboy shall provide to TESC and its Affiliates, upon TESC’s
or its Affiliates’ request, marketing and promotional advice for purposes of
marketing the Services. Further, Playboy will make available to TESC and its
Affiliates, upon the same terms provided to any other Distributor, promotional,
marketing and sales and other Service-related materials related to the Services
which it produces or provides to Distributors, and will make available to TESC
and its Affiliates, at prices not exceeding Playboy’s actual cost, reasonable
quantities of Playboy’s then-available promotional, marketing and sales
materials related to the Services.

    


    (c)           TESC Marketing
Assistance. TESC and its Affiliates agree to market and promote the
Services in a comparable manner to how such parties promote and market other
Adult programming services, except for marketing or promotional campaigns funded
by another Adult programmer, provided TESC or its Affiliate also offer Playboy
the opportunity to fund similar promotional campaigns.

    


    (d)           Use of Remotes. The
parties acknowledge that Playboy TV has a dedicated
channel on TESC’s EPG co-located adjacent to the Playboy TV broadcast feed
location with embedded interactive triggers whereby a Subscriber can utilize a
remote control to subscribe to (collectively “Self Provisioning”). Such Self
Provisioning is intended to direct a customer to push a button on his or her
remote control in order to subscribe to Playboy TV. Once the customer
clicks on the trigger, the customer is transferred to a screen from which the
customer may make a Subscription Purchase for Playboy TV. TESC and its
Affiliates shall continue to offer Self Provisioning in substantially the same
manner as deployed in the Transmission System as of the Effective Date.
*****.

    


    (e)           TESC Identifying
Information. In no event will Playboy or any of its Affiliates directly
or indirectly use any TESC Identifying Information in connection with the
marketing or promotion of the Services without TESC’s prior written approval,
which approval may be withheld by TESC its sole discretion. For purposes of this
Lease, “TESC
Identifying Information” shall mean any logos, trademarks, service marks,
trade names or other information in any form now or hereafter used by TESC
and/or any of its Affiliates to identify itself or themselves or any of its or
their products and/or services. Playboy shall provide to TESC, at least thirty
(30) days prior to first use, an example of any advertising or promotional
materials to be used by Playboy and/or any of its Affiliates that directly or
indirectly uses any TESC Identifying Information in connection with the
marketing and promotion of the Services, which use has not, within the past
twelve months, been approved by TESC in substantially the form intended for use.
TESC may reject any such materials for any reason or no reason in its sole and
absolute discretion, and Playboy shall not use such rejected materials. In the
event that TESC does not grant written approval of marketing materials within
five (5) business days after receiving them from Playboy,

    the
marketing materials submitted shall be deemed rejected and Playboy and its
Affiliates shall be prohibited from using such materials. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Playboy may market and promote the Services as being available on a
“high-powered DBS service” (or words of substantially the same import). Playboy
acknowledges and agrees that the TESC Identifying Information is the exclusive
property of TESC and its Affiliates and that Playboy has not and will not
acquire any proprietary rights therein by reason of this Lease or otherwise.
Except as provided herein, Playboy shall at no time adopt or use, without TESC’s
prior written consent, any variation of TESC Identifying Information, or any
work or mark likely to be similar to or confused therewith. Any and all goodwill
arising from Playboy’s use of the TESC’s Identifying Information shall inure
solely to the benefit of TESC.

    


    (f)         
  Equitable
Relief. Each party agrees that a breach of sections 8(a) or 8(e) will
result in the substantial likelihood of irreparable harm and injury to the
harmed party for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy, and
which damages are difficult to accurately measure. Accordingly, each party
agrees that the damaged party shall have the right, in addition to any other
remedies available to it, to obtain immediate injunctive relief as well as other
allowable equitable relief for any breach or potential breach of such
subsections. The right to equitable relief will be in addition to any other
right or remedy available under this Lease, at law or in equity.

    


    (g)           Marketing by Playboy.
Subject to subsection 8(e) above, Playboy will use commercially reasonable
efforts to market and promote the Services to Subscribers throughout the
Territory. Playboy may not undertake marketing tests, surveys and/or other
research using the Subscribers without TESC’s prior written consent; provided, that,
*****, one statistically valid research study examining Subscribers’ attitudes
with respect to the Services, buy rates for the Services and other relevant
data, and shall provide the results of such study to TESC. All information
related to any such study, including without limitation the results of the
study, shall be Confidential Information. In addition, provided that TESC
continues to distribute Playboy TV (on a PPV and
subscription basis) and Fresh! and is not otherwise
in un-cured breach (or is in or alleged to be in breach but has not yet had the
benefit of the full cure period provided for in this Lease) under this Lease,
Playboy agrees to *****.

    


    (h)           Marketing
Restrictions. Neither TESC nor Playboy shall market or promote, or
attempt to market or promote, purchase of the Services by persons or entities
which they know or have reason to know: (i) are under the age of eighteen (18)
or such other applicable age of majority; (ii) may not legally purchase the
Services or to whom the Services may not legally be sold; or (iii)  intend
to resell the Services or provide the Services to third parties on a
free-to-guest basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, TESC shall have absolutely no obligation to (1) authorize, and hereby
expressly retains the right to deauthorize any Set-Top Box which TESC determines
in its sole judgment is: (a) located in or is going to be located in any Op-Out
Location; (b) being used or is going to be used to view the Services in any
Opt-Out Location; or (c) within the control of any person who may not legally
purchase a Service or to whom a Service may not legally be sold, or (2)
authorize a Set-Top Box to receive a Service unless the prospective Subscriber
provides TESC with a street mailing address (i.e., not a post office
box).

    (i)        
   Electronic Program
Guide. The Services shall be listed on the electronic program guide
(“EPG”) and on
applicable web pages in a manner similar to and no less prominently than other
similar Adult oriented television programming subscription and/or pay per view
services transmitted by TESC via the Transmission System. At such time as is
technically feasible and commercially reasonable (as determined by TESC), TESC
agrees to map Playboy TV adjacent to other premium programming services such as
HBO and Showtime. TESC will explore the feasibility of obtaining preferential
listings of the Services among Adult services. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
TESC reserves the right to (i) enable Subscribers and/or customer service
representatives to remove any of the Services from the Subscribers’ EPGs, and
(ii) alter, substitute, delete or otherwise modify the display of individual
program titles on the EPG, as TESC determines in its sole reasonable
discretion.

    


    (j)    
       Additional Services.
If; during the Term, Playboy offers a new Adult programming service in addition
to the Services, Spice: Excess, Club Jenna, Shorteez, Skin, Playboy en Español and their
respective VOD derivatives (each, an “Additional Service”)
to any other Distributor, Playboy shall offer the Additional Service to TESC on
the same terms and conditions as which it was offered to the other Distributor
in compliance with the *****; provided, that, TESC shall have sixty (60) days
from receipt of notice to avail itself of the Additional Service; provided,
further that, the foregoing sixty (60) day period shall extend for a reasonable
period (not to exceed ninety (90) days) in the event the parties are engaged in
good faith negotiations concerning the terms and conditions appurtenant to the
Additional Service or in the event TESC has sought, in good faith, additional
information concerning the terms and conditions in order that it may make a
reasonably informed decision concerning the Additional Service. Alternatively,
with the consent of Playboy, TESC may replace a Service with the Additional
Service, and the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the
Additional Service as if the Additional Service were the replaced
Service.

              REPRESENTATIONS
      AND WARRANTIES:

            


    

    


    (a)           Mutual Warranties.
Each party represents and warrants to the other that: (i) it is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state or country
under which it is organized; (ii) it has the power and authority to enter into
this Lease and to perform fully its obligations hereunder; (iii) the individual
executing this Lease on its behalf has the authority to do so; and (iv) the
obligations created by this Lease, insofar as they purport to be binding on it,
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable in accordance with
their terms.

    


    (b)           Playboy Warranties.
Playboy represents, warrants and covenants to TESC that:

    


    (i)        
   it presently has and will continue to have, at all times
during the Term, all rights necessary to grant TESC the rights contracted for by
TESC under this Lease free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, claims
and encumbrances.

    


    (ii)           it
has obtained and will maintain throughout the Term all licenses, permits,
exemptions, authorizations and consents necessary to fully perform this
Lease.

    (iii)           it
and the Services presently are, and will remain at all times during the Term, in
full compliance with the Law, including without limitation all Laws enforced,
administered, promulgated or pronounced in the United States and in the country
or countries in which the content for the Services originated.

    


    (iv)           To
the extent necessary to ensure proper copyright clearance, Playboy has applied
for a “through-to-the-viewer” music performance license from each music
performance society, including, without limitation ASCAP, BMI and SESAC who hold
licenses or represent license holders of any musical content included in any of
the Services. Playboy shall use best efforts to obtain a “through-to-the-viewer”
music performance license from those organizations to the extent they make such
license available to Playboy on commercially reasonable terms. TESC has been
informed and understands that Playboy may not pursue a “through-to-the-viewer”
music performance license from SESAC, in such event Playboy agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold TESC and all other TESC Indemnitees harmless, in accordance with
the “Indemnification” section below. If any music performance society, such as
ASCAP, BMI or SESAC refuses to make available to Playboy a
“through-to-the-viewer” music performance license, or offers such license on
commercially unreasonable terms, Playboy shall not be required to initiate
litigation to compel the music performing rights society(ies) to grant a
“through-to-the-viewer” music performance license. lf, due to court order or
other governmental decree from a body of competent jurisdiction, or as a result
of one or more of ASCAP’s or BMI’s failure to offer one on a commercially
reasonable basis, such “through-to-the-viewer” license is not available to
Playboy, Playboy shall continue to maintain a license “through to the headend”
provided such license is available from ASCAP and/or BMI on commercially
reasonable terms. If and when Playboy obtains a “through-to-the-viewer” music
performance license, Playboy shall maintain such license throughout the Term of
the Lease, unless such license is no longer available due to a court order or
other governmental decree from a body of competent jurisdiction, in which case
the terms of this Section shall apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no
circumstances shall TESC be responsible for any fees related to music performing
licenses and Playboy hereby represents and warrants that Playboy will indemnify,
defend, and forever hold harmless TESC from and against any claims in connection
with the Services, and Playboy’s VOD services, if applicable, by music
performance rights societies and others as provided in the “Indemnification”
section below.

    


    (v)           to
the best knowledge of Playboy, no third party has or has claimed any rights
which would be inconsistent with the rights granted to TESC in this
Lease;

    


    (vi)           it
is under no contractual or other legal obligation that shall in any way
interfere with its full, prompt and complete performance under this
Lease.

    


    (vii)         without
limiting the generality of any other provision of this Lease, no programming on
a Service shall knowingly violate 18 USC 2257 or 28 CFR 75 or any successor
legislation or code. Playboy has prepared, maintained and executed, and at all
times during the Term and for a period of seven (7) years thereafter shall,
prepare, maintain and execute any documents or records, and provide TESC with
copies of any documents or records (at TESC’s cost and expense) which are
lawfully required or

    compelled
to be provided by any Court of competent jurisdiction or governmental or
regulatory agency pursuant to or in connection with Title 18, U.S.C. § 2257, as
amended, and/or the associated regulations found at 28 C.F.R. 75.1 et. seq., as
amended, and/or any successor statute or regulation (collectively, “Section 2257”).
Playboy warrants and represents that it is in possession of such documents and
records, and maintains them in accordance with Section 2257. Playboy shall keep
TESC apprised of the physical address where all required records are compiled
and maintained pursuant to Section 2257, and, if lawfully required or compelled
by any Court of competent jurisdiction or governmental or regulatory agency,
shall provide TESC with the full legal name of its records custodian. If
required by law, Playboy will be identified as a “primary producer” in any and
all disclosure statements associated with the Services pursuant to Section 2257.
Playboy further agrees to cooperate with TESC in connection with any inspections
or government inquiries initiated pursuant to Section 2257 by making such
records available to the appropriate Court of competent jurisdiction or
governmental or regulatory agency in full compliance with the then-applicable
provisions of Section 2257. TESC shall have the right to inspect such documents
and records at any time during regular business hours at Playboy’s location for
maintaining the records with five (5) business days’ prior written notice from
TESC; provided,
that if TESC desires access to the records in question in connection with an
inquiry of any kind from a governmental agency, then only one (1) business days’
prior written notice from TESC will be required. No programming on a Service
containing “actual sexually explicit activities” as defined by Section 2257
shall contain material created prior to July 3, 1995 unless Playboy has
documentation that all performers in such “actual sexually explicit activities”
were, at the time the material was created, over the age of eighteen (18)
years.

    


    (viii)           it
has procured and shall maintain during the Term, at its sole expense,
broadcasters errors and omissions insurance covering the Services and all
elements thereof, from a nationally recognized insurance carrier having at least
a “Best’s” rating of A- or better, with a per occurrence limit of no less than
$5 million and a maximum self-insured retention of $5,000,000; and further that
(A) such insurance shall remain in full force and effect throughout the Term;
(B) TESC and its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, employees,
agents and shareholders, shall be named as additional insureds on the insurance
policy; (C) Playboy shall provide TESC with documentation to such effect upon
the execution hereof; (D) within ten (10) business days after the expiration of
such policy or as soon as otherwise available, Playboy shall provide TESC with
appropriate proof of issuance of a policy continuing in force and effect the
insurance covered by the insurance so expiring; and (E) Playboy or its insurer
shall make reasonable efforts to provide TESC with at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice of any changes in such policy if they pertain to the
specifics of this Lease. Playboy’s indemnity obligations set forth herein shall
not be negated or reduced by virtue of Playboy’s insurance carrier’s denial of
insurance coverage for the occurrence or event which is the subject matter of
the claim or refusal to defend TESC and/or any of its Affiliates. Compliance by
Playboy with the requirements of this section as to carrying insurance and
furnishing proof thereof to TESC shall not relieve Playboy of its indemnity
liability set forth herein or its liability to TESC specified in any other
provision of this Lease.

    (c)           TESC’s Warranties.
TESC represents, warrants and covenants to Playboy that TESC presently is, and
will remain at all times during the Term, in material compliance with all Laws
that impact TESC’s ability to comply with the terms of this Lease.

    


    
      	
              10.

            	
              INDEMNIFICATION:

            


    

    


    (a)           Playboy’s
Indemnification. Playboy shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless TESC,
its Affiliates, and each of their present and future contractors,
subcontractors, authorized distributors, authorized Sub-Distributors (in
compliance with the terms of this Lease), directors, members, officers,
employees and agents, and each of their respective assigns, heirs successors and
legal representatives (collectively, the “TESC Indemnitees”)
from, against and with respect to any and all third-party claims, losses,
damages, lawsuits, judgments, actions, penalties, liabilities, costs and
expenses (including reasonable court costs and outside attorney fees)
(collectively, “Claims”) incurred in
connection with any civil, criminal, administrative and other claims against any
of the TESC Indemnities arising out of or relating to: (i) the actual or alleged
breach or default by Playboy of any provision contained in the Lease; (ii) the
content of the Services (including, without limitation, advertising), including,
without limitation, any claims alleging that the transmission of any content is
defamatory, libelous, slanderous, obscene, or violates or infringes any
copyright, trademark, right of privacy or literary, dramatic or music
performance right or any other right of any person or entity; (iii) the sale or
marketing of any products or services by, through or on the Services (unless the
relevant materials are provided by TESC); (iv) Playboy’s or the Services’
failure to comply with all Laws or any other act, omission or failure on
Playboy’s part that causes TESC or its Affiliates to violate any Law or court or
administrative decree; (v) Playboy’s failure to have acquired at the pertinent
time when all or part of the Services are made available to Affiliate, good
title to, and/or each and every property right or other right necessary for it
to satisfy the obligations imposed on it pursuant to this Lease; (vi) Playboy’s
advertising and marketing of the Services; (vii) materials relating to the
Services, including without limitation advertising or promotional copy, supplied
or permitted by Playboy; and/or (viii) the delivery by TESC or a Subdistributor
of any of the Services to any geographic area in the Territory.

    


    (b)           Territorial
Restrictions. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 10(a) above,
Playboy’s indemnification obligation pursuant to subsection l0(a)(viii) only
shall not be valid or enforceable with regard to TESC’s transmission of Fresh! in any jurisdiction
for which Playboy reasonably determines that there is an increased risk level of
distribution of one or more of the Services (each, a “Restricted
Territory”), and Playboy notifies TESC in writing that such increased
risk level exists and indemnification is not available for a Service in any
Restricted Territory. Playboy shall promptly notify TESC of any change in the
Law or risk level of which it becomes aware during the Term that could
reasonably be expected to impact TESC’s transmission of Adult programming to any
geographical area in the Territory. Playboy shall use reasonable efforts to keep
apprised of all Laws related to the delivery of Adult programming.

    


    (c)           TESC’s
Indemnification. TESC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of
Playboy, its Affiliates, and each of their present and future directors,
officers, employees and agents, (collectively, the “Playboy Indemnitees”)
from, against and with respect to any and all Claims incurred in connection with
any claim against the Playboy Indemnitees arising out of (i) the actual or
alleged breach or default by TESC of any provision contained in the Lease and,
in

    the case
of the provisions of Section 8(a) and (b), such indemnity shall be extended to
TESC’s Affiliates using Playboy’s Marks in violation of such provisions; (ii)
any advertising materials created by TESC and inserted in a Service by TESC
(unless the relevant materials are created and inserted at the direction of
Playboy); (iii) third party claims arising from the failure of TESC’s and/or its
Affiliates equipment; and/or (iv) claims arising from an assertion that
technology deployed by TESC and/or its Affiliates is deployed in violation of
any United States patent.

    


    (d)           Claim. The
indemnified party shall give the indemnifying party prompt notice of any Claim
to which the foregoing indemnities apply; provided, that the
indemnifying party’s obligations shall not be affected by any delay or failure
in providing such notice unless the indemnifying party reasonably demonstrates
that the defense or settlement of the claim was materially prejudiced thereby.
The indemnifying party shall have the right to control the litigation,
compromise, settlement or other resolution of such claim or litigation (other
than the entry of a guilty plea or similar plea by or on behalf of the
indemnified party in a criminal or quasi-criminal action); provided, that the
indemnifying party may not dispose of or otherwise settle a claim adverse to an
indemnified party without first obtaining the indemnified party’s consent
thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. The indemnified party will cooperate fully, at the indemnifying party’s
expense, with the reasonable requests of the indemnifying party in the
indemnifying party’s defense of such claim or litigation and shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to join in and be represented by its own counsel,
at its own expense. Further, the indemnified party agrees it shall not issue any
statements regarding the facts or issues regarding the claim, including with
regard to any indemnification received hereunder, unless compelled to do so by a
court or government authority of competent jurisdiction.

              EARLY
      TERMINATION RIGHTS:

            


    

    


    In
addition to all other rights to termination specifically set forth in this Lease
or available at law or in equity, either party shall have the right to terminate
this Lease if the other party has (i) breached any of its material obligations
under this Lease (unless the breach is cured within the thirty (30)-day period
following receipt of notice of the breach; provided, that if a
shorter or longer cure period is provided elsewhere in this Lease for a
particular breach, then such shorter or longer cure period shall apply and, in
the case where immediate termination is provided for elsewhere in this Lease,
immediate termination shall apply. Each party agrees and acknowledges that there
are certain breaches which are incapable of being cured and are therefore not
subject to the thirty (30) day cure period); (ii) filed a petition in
bankruptcy, is unable to pay current bills when due, or has sought relief under
any Law related to its financial condition or its ability to meet its payment
obligations; or (iii) had any involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against
it, or any relief under any such Law has been sought by any of its creditors,
unless the involuntary petition is dismissed, or the relief is denied, within
sixty (60) days after it has been filed or sought. In addition, TESC shall have
the right to terminate this Lease immediately and without liability (except for
amounts payable to Playboy through the effective date of termination) upon
notice to Playboy if any person or entity who, as of the Effective Date, did not
possess, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of
management or policies of Playboy or of Playboy Enterprises, Inc., whether by
virtue of the ownership of voting stock, by contract or otherwise, later comes
into possession of such power. In addition, TESC shall have the right
to


    
      
         


      

      
        Page
24 of 33

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    terminate
this Lease immediately and without liability (except for amounts payable to
Playboy through the effective date of termination) upon notice to Playboy if:
(I) the delivery of any of the Services by Playboy to TESC is discontinued or
interrupted for a continuous period of fifteen (15) days, (II) Playboy, or any
executive officer or director of Playboy, is convicted in a court of competent
jurisdiction of any criminal offense related to Adult content, (III) Playboy is
found to have failed to comply with any Law related to Adult content, including,
without limitation, the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 2257, (IV) Playboy is found to
have falsified, or Playboy is criminally charged or indicted for falsifying, any
documents, records or reports required by this Lease or any Law related to Adult
content, (V) Playboy is criminally charged or indicted for, fraud,
misrepresentation or illegal action in connection with this Lease, and/or (vi)
Playboy assigns or attempts to assign this Lease in whole or in part. In
addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that TESC
determines in good faith, in its sole discretion, that the activities
contemplated under this Lease or any other circumstances, including without
limitation an increase in obscenity prosecutions or citizen protests against
adult-oriented products or services, may: (A) adversely impact the business,
reputation, or goodwill of TESC and/or any of its Affiliates; or (B) result in
the institution of civil, criminal, administrative or other proceedings against
TESC and/or any of its Affiliates, or any of their officers, directors or
employees, TESC will have the right to terminate this Lease after evaluating and
implementing commercially reasonable methods to address TESC’s commercially
reasonable concerns; provided, that TESC
may only take action under this sentence in the event that it treats all
providers of similar content in the same manner. In addition to and not in
limitation of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this
Lease to the contrary, TESC may terminate this Lease for any reason or no reason
in its sole judgment upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to Playboy,
without any liability to Playboy whatsoever (other than remitting any portion of
Gross Revenues due and owing Playboy under this Lease as of the date of such
termination). If by reason of regulatory or legislative action or
interpretation, TESC’s provision of any Service programming violates any Law,
rule, regulation or order as determined by a judgment on the merits in a court
of competent jurisdiction (a “Judgment”), then TESC
may take such actions as it deems necessary in its sole judgment to protect the
business, reputation, and goodwill of TESC and/or any of its Affiliates and to
prevent the institution of any such proceedings against TESC and/or any of its
Affiliates, including without limitation termination of the Lease and suspension
and/or restriction of the transmission of all or any of the Service in the
Territory or any portion of the Territory or to certain Subscribers within the
Territory, but only in so far as it relates to the Service or portion of the
Service that is the subject of the Judgment. For clarity, TESC’s right to
terminate this Lease shall apply with respect to the Services on a channel per
channel basis (i.e. TESC shall have the right to terminate this Lease with
respect to each Service based upon Playboy’s breach of this Lease as it relates
to each such Service, without terminating this Lease in whole). For clarity, in
lieu of the foregoing, TESC may terminate this Lease as a whole. Not earlier
than fifteen (15) months for the Playboy TV Service, and not earlier than twelve
(12) months for the fresh! Service, from the
Effective Date, Playboy shall have the right to discontinue provision of the
applicable Service, in its sole and absolute discretion, provided, that, Playboy
generally discontinues distribution of such Service to all Distributors
contemporaneously and shall not thereafter re-enter or re-introduce the Service
or any substantially similar service in the market during the remainder of the
Term hereof.

              CONFIDENTIALITY:

            


    

    


    (a)           Confidential
Information. Neither TESC nor Playboy shall disclose (orally, in writing,
by press release or by public disclosure of any kind or otherwise) to any third
party (other than their respective officers, directors and employees, in their
capacity as such, and on a need-to-know basis, and each parties’ respective
auditors, consultants, financial advisors, lenders, attorneys and existing and
potential third-party financial investors in Playboy, a Service or TESC, subject
to a confidentiality agreement between the relevant party and such third-party
financial investors) any Confidential Information except: (i) to comply with the
Law; (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the valid order of an
administrative agency or a court of competent jurisdiction, in which case
redacted to the greatest extent possible, in which event the party making such
disclosure shall so notify the other as promptly as practicable (and, if
possible, prior to making such disclosure) and shall seek confidential treatment
of such information; (iii) in order to enforce its rights pursuant to this
Lease; or (iv) if mutually agreed to in writing in advance by TESC and Playboy.
For purposes of this Lease, “Confidential  Information”
shall mean all non-public information disclosed by one party to the other in
connection with this Lease, a Service or transmission of a Service including
without limitation technical information, technical or marketing tests, product
plans, and information with respect to the terms and provisions of
this

    Lease,
including its existence. Playboy acknowledges and agrees that any and all
Subscribers shall be deemed customers of TESC or its Affiliates and that any and
all information relating to Subscribers including without limitation the names,
addresses, and any other personally identifying information of any Subscriber
(“Subscriber
Information”) shall be Confidential Information. TESC shall have
absolutely no obligation whatsoever to (and nothing in this Lease shall require
TESC to) disclose Subscriber Information to Playboy or anybody acting on
Playboy’s behalf. If agreed to in writing by both parties in advance, within
thirty (30) days after the execution of this Lease, Playboy and TESC may issue,
either separately or jointly, a press release or public announcement concerning
this Lease; provided, that the
content of the press release or public announcement shall be mutually agreed
upon, in writing, by Playboy and TESC prior to such release.

    


    (b)           Equitable Relief.
Each party agrees that a breach of this section will result in the substantial
likelihood of irreparable harm and injury to the other party for which monetary
damages alone would be an inadequate remedy, and which damages are difficult to
accurately measure. Accordingly, each party agrees that the other party shall
have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to obtain
immediate injunctive relief as well as other allowable equitable relief for any
breach or potential breach of this section. The right to equitable relief will
be in addition to any other right or remedy available under this Lease, at law
or in equity.

    


    
      	
              15.

            	
              MISCELLANEOUS:

            


    

    


    (a)           Assignment. This
Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon, the parties hereto and
their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations under this Lease, in any manner, direct or
indirect, contingent or otherwise, in whole or in part, voluntarily or by
operation of law without the prior express written consent of the other party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party (subject to TESC’s right to
terminate the Lease with respect to one or both of the Services as set forth in
Section 11) shall have the right to assign some or all of its rights and/or
obligations under this Lease, without obtaining the consent of the other party,
to (i) an Affiliate and; (ii) a successor entity to its business, whether by
merger or by sale of all or substantially all or its assets or stock. In the
event of any valid assignment of this Lease in accordance with the terms of this
subsection, the assigning party shall remain secondarily liable to the
non-assigning party in the event of any breach or default under this Lease by
the assignee.

    


    (b)           Service Combinations.
In the event that Playboy acquires control of, any other programming service (a
“Merger”), if
TESC or its Affiliate has (at the time of the Merger) an agreement regarding
distribution or transmission of the other service (a “Current Contract”),
TESC shall have the right to continue to distribute the other programming
service under the Current Contract.

    


    (c)           Limitation of
Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS LEASE TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT
WITH RESPECT TO THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS CONTAINED IN
THIS LEASE, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
WHETHER


    
      
         


      

      
        Page

    FORESEEABLE
OR NOT, OCCASIONED BY ANY FAILURE TO PERFORM OR THE BREACH OF ANY OBLIGATION
UNDER THIS LEASE FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, WHETHER BASED ON NEGLIGENCE OR
OTHERWISE AND WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT.

    


    (d)           Governing Law. This
Lease and all matters or issues collateral thereto shall be governed by the Laws
of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law rules thereof
The Federal and state courts located in the State of New York shall have
exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims, disputes, actions or
suits which may arise under or out of this Lease and each party hereby waives
its right to make any claim to the contrary.

    


    (e)           Relationship. The
relationship of the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing in this
Lease shall be construed or implied to create a relationship of agency,
partners, affiliates, joint employers, or joint venturers. Neither party shall
have the power or authority to act for the other in any manner or to create
obligations or debts which would be binding on the other. Neither party shall be
responsible for any obligation of the other or be responsible for any act or
omission of the other or any employee of the other. Each party shall be
responsible for all wages, salaries, taxes and expenses incurred for or by its
employees. Neither party shall be, or hold itself out as, the agent of the other
or as joint venturers under this Lease. No Subscriber has or shall be deemed to
have any privity of contract or direct contractual or other relationship with
Playboy and no supplier of advertising or programming or anything else included
in the Service by Playboy shall be deemed to have any privity of contract or
direct contractual or other relationship with TESC or its Affiliates by virtue
of this Lease. Playboy disclaims any present or future right, interest or estate
in or to the transmission facilities of TESC and its Affiliates, such disclaimer
being to acknowledge that neither TESC nor the facilities of it or its
Affiliates are common carriers.

    


    (f)           Force Majeure.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease, neither Playboy nor TESC
shall have any liability to the other or any other person or entity with respect
to any failure of Playboy or TESC, as the case may be, to transmit a Service or
perform its obligations under this Lease if the failure is due to any failure or
degradation in performance of TESC’s or Playboy’s (or either of their
Affiliates’) satellite(s) or the or transponders on such satellite(s) or any
failure or degradation of the Transmission System, or of any
scrambling/descrambling equipment or any other equipment owned or maintained by
others (including, without limitation, any automated billing and authorization
system), any failure at the origination and uplinking center used by Playboy or
TESC (including without limitation the Facility), any labor dispute, fire,
flood, riot, legal enactment, government regulation, Act of God, or any cause
beyond the reasonable control of Playboy or TESC, as the case may be (a “Force Majeure”), and
such non-performance shall be excused for the period of time such failure(s)
causes non-performance; provided, however,
the parties mutually agree that it is commercially or technically unfeasible to
cure a Force Majeure with respect to the Transmission System or a satellite with
respect to all programming services affected by the failure of the Transmission
System or the satellite, then either party may terminate this Lease effective
upon written notice to the other party. Playboy acknowledges and agrees that
although a Service may at any given time be uplinked to only one (1) of several
satellites, failure or degradation in any of such satellites may require TESC to
reduce the number of programming services available for allocation among such
satellites, with such reduction including, without limitation, curtailment or
termination of the transmission of


    
      
         


      

      
        Page
28 of 33

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    one or
both of the Services by TESC, at TESC’s sole discretion; provided that the
Service will be treated on a pari passu basis with any
other service of similar content to the Services. Accordingly, Playboy further
acknowledges and agrees that the provisions set forth in the first sentence of
this paragraph shall apply and shall exculpate TESC and its Affiliates and
excuse the performance of TESC hereunder in the event of a failure or
degradation of any of the satellites or the transponders on any such satellites,
regardless of whether the satellite to which a Service is uplinked at the time
of such failure or degradation is itself the subject of such failure or
degradation. If a Service is interrupted or discontinued as a result of a Force
Majeure, TESC shall have the right, immediately, to insert programming of its
choice on the channel identified with the Service until the Service is fully
operational again.

    


    (g)           Severability. The
invalidity under applicable Law of any provision of this Lease shall not affect
the validity of any other provision of this Lease. In the event that any
provision in this Lease is determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal,
(A) the provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to cause the
position to be valid, enforceable and legal while preserving the intent of the
parties as expressed in, and the benefits to the parties provided by, this Lease
or (B) if the provision cannot be so reformed, the provision shall be severed
from this Lease and the remainder of the Lease shall remain effective and shall
be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable or
illegal provision were not contained in the Lease.

    


    (h)           Survival. Any
provision of this Lease which logically would be expected to survive termination
or expiration of the Lease shall survive termination or expiration. In addition
and not in limitation of the foregoing, all representations, warranties,
covenants, indemnifications, confidentiality obligations, audit rights and
limitations of liability shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Lease for the longer of seven (7) years or the longest period permissible under
applicable Law(s).

    


    (i)           No Inference Against
Author. Playboy and TESC each acknowledge that this Lease was fully
negotiated by the parties and, therefore, no provision of this Lease shall be
interpreted against either party because that party or its legal representative
drafted the provision.

    


    (j)           Headings; References.
The titles and headings of the sections in this Lease are for convenience only
and shall not in any way affect the interpretation of this Lease. Any reference
in this Lease to a ‘section’ or an ‘exhibit’ shall, unless the context expressly
requires otherwise, be a reference to ‘section’ in, or an ‘exhibit’ to this
Lease. Any reference in this Lease to the singular form of a word shall
automatically include the plural form of the word, if applicable, and any
reference to the plural shall include the singular, if applicable. Forms of the
word ‘include’ mean ‘including, without limitation’ and references to
‘hereunder,’ ‘herein,’ ‘hereof,’ and the like, refer to this Lease.

    


    (k)           Waivers; Cumulative
Remedies. The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance
of any provision of this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the same or similar nature. Any waiver of any provision of
this Lease must be in writing. All rights and remedies reserved to either party
shall be cumulative and shall not be in limitation of any other right or remedy
which such party may have at law or in equity.

    (l)           Integration. This
Lease, including its Exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties to this Lease. All exhibits referenced in this Lease are hereby
incorporated in the Lease by this reference. This Lease may not be modified
except in a writing executed by both parties. Except as expressly provided by
this Lease, no party shall be bound by any communications between them on the
subject matter of this Lease unless the communication is (i) in writing,
(ii) bears a date contemporaneous with or subsequent to the date of this Lease,
and (iii) is agreed to by both parties. Upon due execution of this Lease by both
parties, all prior agreements and understandings between the parties including,
without limitation, the Prior Agreement, shall be null and void. The parties
specifically acknowledge there are no unwritten side agreements or oral
agreements between the parties which alter, amend, modify or supplement this
Lease.

    


    (m)           Counterparts. This
Lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original and all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument.

    


    (n)           *****

    


    (o)           Reservation of
Rights. All rights that Playboy may have that are not specifically
granted to TESC by this Lease in and to the Service (including, without
limitation all intellectual property rights in the Service) are expressly
reserved, as between TESC and Playboy, to Playboy.

    


    (p)           Clean Slate. TESC and
Playboy acknowledge that, with respect to all amounts due by either party or its
Affiliates to the other for obligations incurred prior to the Effective Date
(“Clean Slate
Claims”), all payment and other obligations shall be deemed fully
performed, and each party waives and discharges any claim with respect to any
and all Clean Slate Claims.
