 2. License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, CNI hereby grants to STREAM, and STREAM
hereby accepts, the license to distribute, advertise, exhibit, market and promote the Channel for subscription pay television transmission and exhibition by any and all means of cable and satellite television transmission (including DTH) and by all
other means of subscription pay television distribution (including non-standard pay television, whether or not on electronic media) and by Internet (but only to the extent compatible with the scope of CNI’s right to sell or license distribution
rights to the programming comprising the Channel on the Internet) to Subscribers in the Territory during the Term. CNI and Creative Network International (The Netherlands) BV retain all right to sell or license distribution rights to the Channel or
similar channels outside the Territory. 
  
 3. Duties of CNI.

  
 3.1 Programming Schedules. Throughout the Term,
CNI shall submit to STREAM programming schedules covering future programming. Commencing on the Initial Distribution Date, CNI shall submit such schedules to STREAM on the first day of the month which cover the programming month beginning
approximately 60 days from the submission date. STREAM may review and comment upon the content of the programming schedules for a fifteen day period after such submission (the “Content Review Period”). During such Content Review Period, if
STREAM requests any modification of the proposed programming schedules, the parties will use good faith efforts to mutually agree upon any suggested modification of the programming schedules. In the event the parties do not agree, the Programming
Director of the Channel shall determine the final programming schedule in his or her sole discretion, unless STREAM has not retained exclusivity, in which case CNI shall determine the final programming schedule in its sole discretion. All
programming identified in the programming schedules shall be in accordance with the specifications set forth in Schedule A. 
  
 3.2 Delivery. After the Content Review Period, CNI shall arrange for delivery to STREAM of the Channel videotapes and the playlists covering at
least one month of programming (the “Delivery”). The playlist shall include: (i) identification of the Channel, (ii) titles and a forty character (maximum) synopsis for each title, (iii) broadcasting data (airdates), and (iv) approximate
running time. CNI shall deliver the Channel by videotape in accordance with Schedule B, but shall reserve the right to deliver the Channel via any other suitable existing or hereafter devised technology compatible with STREAM’s playback and
transmission standards, provided that CNI gives STREAM 60 days notice of use of new technology. STREAM shall have ten days from Delivery to notify CNI that the videotapes are not in accordance with Schedule B and/or the corresponding playlists (the
“Technical Review”). If STREAM fails to provide such notice within the ten day period, Delivery shall be deemed accepted by STREAM (the “Acceptance”). Following Acceptance, STREAM shall waive all future right to contest Delivery
and to deny payment with respect to such Delivery. CNI shall bear any and all costs relating to Delivery, and STREAM shall bear any and all costs relating to Technical Review. CNI may, in its sole discretion, deliver the Channel encrypted and
compressed. In such cases, CNI shall provide STREAM with the necessary decoding equipment. CNI shall bear any and all costs relating to Delivery and decoding. 
  

 -5- 

 3.3 Timing of Delivery. Delivery of the Channel videotapes and playlists shall be no later than
two weeks and 45 days, respectively, prior to each successive one month programming period, except for the initial Delivery as described below. Delivery shall be deemed to have occurred when the videotapes and/or the playlists have been delivered to
the offices of STREAM indicated in Section 18.4. 
  
 3.4
Initial Programming Schedule and Initial Delivery Date. CNI shall submit to STREAM the programming schedule for the first two months of Year 1 within four months of the Effective Date. CNI shall complete Delivery of the initial two months of
programming for the Channel on the Initial Delivery Date. On the Initial Delivery Date, CNI shall also provide: (i) a slide with the Channel logo, (ii) ten hours of evergreen tape, and (iii) twenty blank betacam SP back-up cassettes. 
  
 3.5 Promotion. CNI shall provide STREAM such promotional materials as
are generally made available for promotion of pay-tv channels, as more particularly described in Schedule C. CNI shall be free to undertake any promotional initiatives aimed at optimizing the marketing of the Channel in the Territory. In the event
CNI and STREAM agree that STREAM renders all or part of such additional promotional activities on behalf of CNI, then STREAM and CNI shall agree on the terms and conditions thereof. If STREAM has exclusivity under Section 7 hereof, all forms of
promotion and advertising of the Channel shall include permanent and clear display of the trademark “STREAM” or any other trademark used by STREAM. 
  
 3.6 Third Party Products. CNI shall license rights to proprietary programming of third parties which meets the standards set forth on Schedule A
(e.g.: Arts & Entertainment, Bravo, Ovation, PBS, or similar programming). CNI shall acquire from STREAM at market price, the pay-TV rights of all pay-per-view productions licensed or owned by STREAM which are suitable for the
Channel’s programming pursuant to objective criteria to be agreed upon by the parties. 
  
 3.7 Programming Requested by STREAM. CNI shall produce special programming at the request of STREAM. If STREAM requests such special programming, STREAM and CNI shall agree prior to commencement of production,
on a case by case basis, on an allocation of the expenses, revenues and intellectual property rights related to such special programming. 
  
 3.8 No Conflict. During the Term, CNI shall not exercise or perform nor authorize anyone else to exercise or perform any activity which conflicts
with the rights of STREAM under this Agreement. CNI shall not sell or license distribution of the Channel on free-TV in the Territory. 
  

 -6- 

 3.9 Programming Director. Within three months of the Effective Date, STREAM shall interview and
select a candidate for the position of initial Programming Director of the Channel. Such candidate shall have extensive experience in the acquisition and production of Italian and non-Italian television programming. CNI may elect to hire such
candidate or veto the candidate at its discretion, provided that CNI provides STREAM with an explanation as to why a candidate is not suitable. Vacancies in the position of Programming Director shall be filled in the same manner whereby STREAM
interviews and selects candidates and CNI elects to hire or to veto such candidates. CNI shall retain all right to terminate the relationship with the Programming Director at any time. 
  
 4. Duties of STREAM. 
  
 4.1 Distribution. 
  
 (a) STREAM is obligated to distribute the Channel in the Territory by any and all means of pay-television cable distribution which STREAM uses to
distribute pay-television programming. If, and when, STREAM distributes channels via a STREAM owned or Controlled non-cable distribution system, STREAM shall be obligated to distribute the Channel in the Territory by such other system, whether now
known or hereafter devised, including, without limitation, DTH, MMDS, and Internet (but only to the extent compatible with the scope of CNI’s right to sell or license distribution rights to the programming comprising the Channel on the
Internet). 
  
 (b) For so long as STREAM has retained exclusivity
under this Agreement, STREAM shall not exchange, sell, license, sub-license, or otherwise transfer any of its Packages to an Affiliated or non-Affiliated party’s distribution system without adding the Channel to such other distribution system.

  
 (c) If, at any time, a STREAM Affiliate commences any
non-cable distribution service which STREAM does not offer (the “New Service”), and STREAM does not either: (i) commence distribution of the Channel on the same type of non-cable distribution service within three months, or (ii) agree with
the Affiliate to distribute the Channel on the New Service within three months, then STREAM shall waive its exclusive license under this Agreement for distribution of the Channel on such New Service. CNI may then elect to agree with the Affiliate to
distribute the Channel on such New Service. If CNI so elects, the fee per subscriber paid per month by the Affiliate for distribution of the Channel on the New Service shall be the “Monthly New Service Subscriber Fee”. 
  
 (i) If, at any time, the applicable Subscriber Fee multiplied by the number
of Subscribers for each applicable bracket of Average Monthly Subscribers for each month of the quarter is less than the Installment due for such quarter, then the dollar amount of any Monthly New Service Subscriber Fees paid from a STREAM Affiliate
to CNI for that calendar quarter shall be applied to reduce the balance of the Installment due from STREAM to CNI under Section 5.2(b). 
  

 -7- 

 (ii) If, at any time, the applicable Subscriber Fee multiplied by the number of Subscribers for each
applicable bracket of Average Monthly Subscribers for each month of the quarter does not equal or exceed the Minimum Exclusivity Payment due for such quarter, then the dollar amount of any Monthly New Service Subscriber Fees paid from a STREAM
Affiliate to CNI for that calendar quarter shall be applied to reduce the balance of the Minimum Exclusivity Payment due from STREAM to CNI under Section 5.3. 
  

(iii) If the applicable Subscriber Fee multiplied by the number of Subscribers for each applicable bracket of Average Monthly Subscribers for each
month of the quarter due from STREAM to CNI exceeds the relevant Minimum Exclusivity Payment, then the remaining Payment Credit shall be applied to reduce STREAM’s payment obligation to CNI of such amount which exceeds the Minimum Exclusivity
Payment. 
  
 (iv) For purposes of Section 11.5(a)(i) if CNI and
an Affiliate have entered into an agreement for distribution of the Channel on a New Service, for a minimum of eighteen months, the Reference Subscriber Level shall be increased by the number of subscribers to the New Service for the last month of
the Exercise Year. 
  
 4.2 Channel Distribution Start-up.
STREAM shall commence distribution of the Channel on the Initial Distribution Date.

 4.4 Subscriber Management. STREAM shall use its best efforts to obtain
Subscribers. STREAM shall perform all activities related to subscriber management (e.g.: promotion, subscription, invoicing, collection, etc.) with respect to the Channel.

 -8- 

 (d) if STREAM has retained exclusivity, STREAM shall include the Channel in the most widely distributed
Package, provided that the number of subscribers to such Package exceeds the total number of Subscribers. If, however, as a result of this combined distribution the number of Subscribers is less than 65% of the total subscribers to STREAM’s
channels, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of ninety days to agree on additional distribution of the Channel so that it reaches a minimum of 65% of the total subscribers to STREAM’s channels. If the parties fail to
agree on a marketing solution which provides that the Channel reaches a minimum of 65% of the total subscribers to STREAM’s Channels, CNI may at its option: (i) remain a party to this Agreement, or (ii) withdraw from this Agreement, without
STREAM or CNI liability for damages, upon ninety days notice to STREAM. 
  
 (e) STREAM shall not offer channels, other than the Channel, as A-La-Carte Channels unless they are considered “premium” channels, as such term is commonly understood in the industry. 
  
 (f) STREAM may, but shall not be obligated to, distribute the Channel as an
A-La-Carte Channel. 
  
 (g) STREAM’s marketing of its
channels shall favor the purchase of Channel Packages rather than A-La-Carte Channels. 
  
 (h) For purposes of this Agreement, the Soccer Channel shall not be considered as a “channel”, and the subscribers that subscribe to the Soccer Channel only shall not be included in the computation of 65% of
the total subscribers to STREAM’s channels in Section 4.5(d). 
  
 4.6 Channel Placement. STREAM shall use its best efforts to offer the Channel via the same channel. STREAM shall use its best efforts to place the Channel between channels 10 and 15, and as close to 10 as possible. 
  
 4.7 Program Guide. STREAM shall include the Channel in its program
guides and in all other promotional materials for its channels regardless of the medium of distribution. STREAM shall bear all costs thereof. CNI shall provide listings of one month of programming of the Channel to STREAM, every month at least six
weeks before the start of the month in which such programs are to be transmitted. Such listing shall be as accurate as possible and CNI shall notify STREAM no later than seven days prior to the broadcast date of any change being made thereto. STREAM
may use such information in any printed or electronic media in order to promote the commercial distribution of the Channel. 
  
 4.8 Integrity of Channel. STREAM shall distribute the Channel as provided by CNI without alteration, unless required by law. 
  

 -9- 

 4.9 Non-Competition. For so long as STREAM retains exclusivity under this Agreement, STREAM shall
not, directly or indirectly, own, produce, or distribute any channel in the Territory which is substantially similar to the Channel as described on Schedule A and Section 3.6. For ten years from the Effective Date, STREAM shall not, directly or
indirectly, own or produce any channel outside of the Territory which is substantially similar to the Channel as described on Schedule A and Section 3.6. 
  
 4.10 STREAM Activities. STREAM shall perform activities such as playback and transmission, technical support, tape storage, quality control, and
uplink of satellite signal provided that STREAM distributes the Channel via DTH to Subscribers. These activities are more particularly described on Schedule D. 
  

4.11 Restrictions and Prohibitions. STREAM shall use and distribute the Channel only as specifically authorized in this Agreement. Under no
circumstances shall STREAM: (i) do anything which suggests or represents that any other programming is a part of the Channel or originated by CNI, (ii) offer the Channel on a pay-per-day, pay-per-story, or pay-per-view basis, or (iii) offer the
Channel to Subscribers for subscription periods of less than one month. 
  
 4.12 Theft of Service. STREAM shall not (and shall not authorize other parties to) distribute or reproduce by any means any part of the Channel except as specifically authorized by this Agreement. If either STREAM or CNI have
knowledge that any third party is transmitting, distributing, or reproducing any part of the Channel, or using any of the Marks other than as specifically authorized in this Agreement, STREAM and CNI shall immediately provide each other with all
information known about such unauthorized use. STREAM and CNI shall cooperate in order to take all steps necessary to prevent such unauthorized reproduction or use. STREAM shall conduct such security audits and take such other actions as are
reasonably necessary to prevent the Channel Subscribers or others from gaining unauthorized access to the Channel and will share with CNI the results of such audits. If the Channel is not, or cannot, be properly secured from unauthorized reception,
CNI shall have the right to suspend Delivery upon sixty days notice until such time as the security breach is cured. 
  
 4.13 Return of Tapes. STREAM shall return to CNI, at CNI’s sole cost and expense, any videotape or other means of recording on which the
Channel is recorded upon request of CNI, and within two months of such request. 
  
 4.14 STREAM Controlled Subsidiaries. STREAM agrees that references to STREAM in this Agreement shall also apply to all companies operating as pay-TV distributors which are “controllate”
(pursuant to the first two paragraphs of Section 2359 of the Italian Civil Code, but excluding the definition of “collegate”) by STREAM. STREAM shall be obligated to cause such “controllate” companies to distribute
the Channel if they distribute any channels. Additionally, STREAM shall cause such “controllate” companies to comply with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 5. Payment. 
  
 5.1 Subscriber Fee. The Subscriber Fee shall be the marginal fee per Subscriber set forth in the chart below opposite the applicable bracket of
Average Monthly Subscribers:

 For example, in Year
4, if STREAM elects to retain exclusivity and the Average Monthly Subscribers in any month is equal to 1,500,000, then STREAM shall owe CNI: (799,999 x $1.00) + (500,001 x $0.93) + (200,000 x $0.90) for that month. 
  
 5.2 Amount of Payment. 
  
 (a) Advance Payments. Prior to the Initial Distribution Date, STREAM
shall pay CNI two payments in the amount of $1,500,000 each (the “Advance Payments”). STREAM shall pay the Advance Payments on the dates set forth in Section 5.4, provided that CNI has submitted an invoice to STREAM. 
  
 (b) Installments. Following the Advance Payments, STREAM shall make
ten quarterly payments to CNI in the amount of $1,500,000 each (the “Installments”). Except as set forth in Section 5.4, STREAM shall pay each Installment to CNI on the last day of the relevant calendar quarter, provided that CNI has
submitted an invoice to STREAM. 
  
 (c) Additional
Payments. Following the payment of the Advance Payments and the Installments, STREAM shall make quarterly payments to CNI of the sum of: the appropriate marginal Subscriber Fee multiplied by the number of Subscribers for each applicable bracket
of Average Monthly Subscribers for each month of the quarter (the “Additional Payments”). 
  
 (d) Deficiency Payments. Within forty-five days of the end of Years 1, 2, and 3, if the appropriate Subscriber Fee multiplied by the number of
Subscribers for each applicable bracket of Average Monthly Subscribers for each month of the previous Year is determined to be greater than the total payments made by STREAM for the relevant Year (the “Deficiency”), STREAM shall pay CNI
the Deficiency. 
  

 -11- 

 (e) Payment Credit. Once STREAM has paid to CNI all of the Installments, STREAM shall be entitled
to a credit equal to $3,000,000 (the “Payment Credit”). Whether or not STREAM has retained exclusivity pursuant to Section 7, at any time when STREAM owes CNI an amount which exceeds the relevant Minimum Exclusivity Payment (an
“Excess Amount”), STREAM may apply the Payment Credit to reduce its payment to CNI of such Excess Amount. Thus, STREAM may only apply the Payment Credit to reduce its payment obligations to STREAM in calendar quarters where STREAM pays CNI
at least the relevant Minimum Exclusivity Payment. The Payment Credit shall be applied in this manner until it has been credited in full. The Payment Credit shall not be used in the computation of the Exercise Price under Section 11. 
  
 5.3 Minimum Exclusivity Payments. For Year 4 to Year 10 if STREAM
elects to retain exclusivity pursuant to Section 7, STREAM shall pay the applicable Subscriber Fee multiplied by the number of Subscribers for each applicable bracket of Average Monthly Subscribers for each month of the quarter. If STREAM has
retained exclusivity, in no event shall STREAM’s total quarterly payments be less than the following “Minimum Exclusivity Payments”: 
  

				
	 Year of
 the Term

 5.5 Due Dates and
Complete Payments. All Additional Payments from STREAM to CNI under this Agreement shall be paid to CNI in full within forty-five days of the end of each calendar quarter, provided that CNI has issued an invoice within fifteen days from the
issuance of the relevant accounting statement. Subscriber Fees under this Section 5 shall be payable for each Subscriber regardless of whether STREAM actually charges or receives payment from such Subscriber. 
  
 5.6 Accounting Statement. Commencing from the Initial Distribution
Date, STREAM shall deliver to CNI a quarterly written accounting statement no later than fifteen days from the end of each calendar quarter. At a minimum, the accounting statement shall indicate: 
  
 (i) the total number of STREAM’s subscribers as at respectively the
last day of the prior month and the last day of each month of the relevant quarter; 
  
 (ii) the total number of Subscribers as at, respectively, the last day of the prior month and the last day of each month of the relevant quarter; 
  
 (iii) the Average Monthly Subscribers for each month of the relevant quarter; 
  
 (iv) the number of disconnections and the number of new Subscribers for each
month of the relevant quarter; and 
  
 (v) the number of Channel
Package and A-La-Carte Channel Subscribers, respectively, at the end of each month of the relevant quarter. 
  
 5.7 Contest. Any contest of such accounting statement on the part of CNI must be sent to STREAM within thirty days of receipt of such accounting
statement and addressed to: Stream - Marketing Consumer Product Department. Any contest shall specify each individual item under dispute. Should the parties reach an agreement on an increase in the contested accounting statement, CNI shall issue an
additional invoice covering such increase which shall be paid by STREAM within thirty days from receipt of same. 
  

 -13- 

 5.8 Type of Payment. Payments by STREAM to CNI shall be effected by bank transfer of immediately
available funds in Dollars to an account designated by CNI. STREAM shall pay to CNI all amounts due under this Agreement plus V.A.T., where applicable. Payment shall be subject to withholding tax pursuant to any applicable Convention for the
Avoidance of Double Taxation and any other applicable law. 
  
 5.9
Late Charges. Any amount invoiced by CNI and not paid by STREAM when due shall accrue late charges at the annual rate of five percent above the official discount rate set by Banca d’Italia and in force at the end of the relevant month.
Each month CNI shall submit an invoice to STREAM for late charges, if any. The computation of late charges shall not be compounded. 
  
 5.10 Foreign Exchange Risk. If at any time during the Term, but no earlier than eighteen months after the Effective Date, the Lira to Dollar
quarterly average exchange rate published by Banca d’Italia in the “Supplementi al Bollettino Statistico - Indicatori Monetari e Finanziari - Bilancia dei Pagamenti - Quotazione in Lire delle Principali Valute” fluctuates
twenty percent above or below the Benchmark Exchange Rate, all amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment. All amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be adjusted upward or downward, as the case may be, by an
amount equal to fifty percent of the fluctuation. The published exchange rate showing such fluctuation shall then become the new Benchmark Exchange Rate. 
  
 5.11 Tax Documentation. Whenever required by law, CNI shall provide STREAM with all necessary tax documentation. 
  
 5.12 Most Favored Nation. CNI agrees that if at any time during the
Term pursuant to Section 4.1(c), CNI allows any distributor that is an Affiliate of STREAM to distribute the Channel in the Territory or in any portion thereof, by any technology whatsoever (an “Affiliate Distributor”), and if CNI charges
such Affiliate Distributor fees, provides volume discounts, penetration discounts, or caps or otherwise limits payments, or provides other terms or conditions which effectively provide discounts on fees, on a basis which, taken as a whole, are more
favorable to such Affiliate Distributor than to STREAM hereunder (the “Favored Conditions”), then CNI shall incorporate into this Agreement the Favored Conditions effective as of the first day of the month following the date on which CNI
first allows such Affiliate Distributor to distribute the Channel in exchange for the Favored Conditions. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall require STREAM to incorporate the Favored Conditions and such terms and conditions into this Agreement.

  
 6. Certification; Books and Records; Audit 
  
 6.1 Annual Certification Statement. STREAM shall supply to CNI,
within 90 days after the end of each calendar year or portion thereof during which this Agreement is in effect, a 
  

 -14- 

 statement attested to by STREAM’s chief financial officer certifying the completeness and accuracy of all
information contained in any of the reports and statements supplied to CNI by STREAM with respect to such calendar year. STREAM’s obligation to supply such statements shall continue until CNI has received all required statements. 
  
 6.2 Books and Records. During the Term and for five years thereafter,
STREAM shall maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the Channel for the preceding five years. 
  
 6.3 Audit Rights and Fees. During the Term and for five years thereafter and upon five days notice, CNI at its sole cost and expense shall have the
right to audit during normal business hours, and to make copies of, any or all of STREAM’s books and records related to the distribution of the Channel. In the event any such audit reveals an underpayment of the fees due to CNI in excess of two
percent of the fees reported and paid to CNI for the period in question, STREAM shall pay all costs of the audit in addition to the underpayment. 
  
 7. Procedure for Retention of Exclusivity. 
  
 7.1 Years 1 to 3. For Years 1 to 3, STREAM shall have the exclusive right to distribute the Channel in the Territory. 
  
 7.2 Years 4 to 10. For Years 4 to 10, STREAM may elect Year by Year to
retain the exclusive right to distribute the Channel in the Territory. To do so, STREAM shall notify CNI at least one month prior to the beginning of the next Year and shall timely make the payments required under Section 5.3. If STREAM has
purchased less than one hundred percent of the stock of CNI, STREAM shall continue to pay the relevant Subscriber Fees in an amount not less than the Minimum Exclusivity Payments as set forth under Section 5.3, in order to retain exclusivity.

  
 7.3 Loss of Exclusivity. At any time during Years 4 to
10, if STREAM fails to elect to retain exclusivity for the following Year or fails to timely pay the Minimum Exclusivity Payments, STREAM shall forfeit its right to exclusivity for the remainder of the Term. STREAM may also waive exclusivity under
this Agreement pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 4.1(c). In either event, CNI may grant a non-exclusive license to third parties to distribute the Channel in the Territory during the Term. 
  
 8. Intellectual Property Rights and Trademarks. 
  
 8.1 CNI Ownership. Except as may otherwise be agreed pursuant to
Section 3.7, all right, title, and interest in and to the Channel and all advertising and promotional materials, ideas, formats, and concepts contained therein or used in connection therewith (including all copyrights) shall at all times be the sole
property of CNI. 
  

 -15- 

 8.2 Marks. STREAM acknowledges that (a) copyright in the Channel remains exclusively with CNI and
(b) the names, logos and all other trademarks and/or service marks of CNI and of the Channel (the “Marks”) and any variation thereof are, as between CNI and STREAM, the exclusive property of CNI, and STREAM shall not use the Marks in any
manner whatsoever without prior consent of CNI. It remains understood that all costs associated with the protection of the Marks, including, but not limited to, the costs arising from any legal action that may be taken for the protection thereof,
shall be borne by CNI. STREAM shall not insert its own Mark during the programming comprising the Channel. In addition, CNI agrees to allow STREAM to use CNI’s Marks and STREAM agrees to allow CNI to use STREAM’s Marks, in connection with
any promotion activity carried out in the Territory. STREAM may use such information in any printed or electronic media in order to promote the commercial distribution of the Channel as provided under Section 4.7, but acknowledges that all copyright
and other rights of similar nature in the Marks shall remain vested absolutely in CNI. STREAM shall not use the name or likeness of any person appearing in any programming of the Channel unless such person otherwise agrees and CNI pre-approves the
usage in writing. 
  
 8.3 Clearance. CNI shall secure, at
its own expense and prior to delivery of the Channel, all necessary rights, consents, licenses, clearances and authorizations from the copyright owners of the programs for STREAM’s unencumbered and peaceful performance of its activities
hereunder. All necessary clearances or licenses from any collecting societies for the transmission of the Channel to the Subscribers in accordance with this Agreement shall be obtained and paid for by CNI. In connection with such clearances, STREAM
shall assist CNI for their mutual benefit. 
  
 8.4 Signal
Distribution Capacity. CNI retains and reserves any and all rights in and to all signal distribution capacity contained within the bandwidth of the Channel as received and distributed by STREAM including, without limitation, the vertical
blanking intervals, audio sub-carriers or channels and any other portions of the bandwidth that may be created or made usable or available from time to time whether as a result or conversion of the signal to a compressed, digital or other format or
otherwise howsoever. 
  
 9. Advertising. In the event that the
Channel shall include any form of advertising, STREAM shall be entitled to receive from CNI 20% of the net revenues generated by advertising on the Channel (the “Net Advertising Revenues”). The Net Advertising Revenues shall include all
compensation received by CNI from advertisers minus all commission, expenses and other direct costs related to the advertising. 
  
 10. Representations and Warranties. 
  
 10.1 STREAM Representations and Warranties. STREAM represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

 -17- 

 11. Purchase Option 
  
 11.1 Procedure to Exercise Purchase Option. Commencing with Year 4, STREAM shall have the option to purchase stock of
CNI (the “Purchase Option”) as set forth below, provided that: (i) STREAM has retained exclusivity for the then current Year and has paid the appropriate Minimum Exclusivity Payments as set forth under Section 5.3, and (ii) the Channel has
at least 500,000 Subscribers. To exercise the Purchase Option, STREAM shall notify CNI no earlier than one month and no later than two months after the end of the relevant Year. After the notification to CNI, STREAM shall continue to make the
payments required under this Agreement. Such payments shall not be credited against the price for the purchase of CNI’s stock. 
  
 11.2 Accelerated Purchase Option. STREAM shall also have the option to purchase all of the stock of CNI upon the earlier of: (i) reaching a level
of 1,000,000 Subscribers, or (ii) reaching Year 5 (the “Accelerated Purchase Option”). To exercise the Accelerated Purchase Option, STREAM shall notify CNI no earlier than one month after: (i) reaching a level of 1,000,000 Subscribers, or
(ii) the start of Year 5 (the “Notice Month”). After the notification to CNI, STREAM shall continue to make the payments required under this Agreement. Such payments shall not be credited against the price for the purchase of CNI’s
stock. 
  
 11.3 Exercise Year. For purposes of the Purchase
Option, the Year in which notice is given shall be the “Exercise Year.” For purposes of the Accelerated Purchase Option, the 12 months immediately preceding the Notice Month shall be the “Exercise Year.” 
  
 11.4 Stock Percentages. Notwithstanding the Accelerated Purchase
Option, for Years 4 and 5 STREAM shall have the Purchase Option for no less than 25% and no more than 49% (in the aggregate) of the issued and outstanding stock of CNI. For Years 6 to 10, STREAM shall have the Purchase Option for no less than all of
the remaining issued and outstanding stock of CNI owned by Creative Network International (The Netherlands) BV. STREAM may exercise the Purchase Option a maximum of three times. 
  
 11.5 Exercise Price. 
  
 (a) Valuation Factors. The price payable from STREAM to Creative Network International (The Netherlands) BV to exercise the Purchase Option or the
Accelerated Purchase Option (the “Exercise Price”) shall be based on three factors: (i) the level of Subscribers, (ii) the present value of future cash flows, and (iii) the assets of the Channel. Each of the three factors shall be weighted
55%, 35%, and 10%, respectively. The Exercise Price shall be computed in accordance with Schedule E as follows: 
  
 (i) Level of Subscribers. The Average Monthly Subscribers (plus the average Monthly New Service Subscribers, if applicable) for the last month of
the Exercise Year shall be the Reference Subscriber Level. To reflect Subscriber increases for each of the four years 
  

 -18- 

 following the Exercise Year, the Reference Subscriber Level shall be increased by twenty percent compounded for each of
the next four years to determine the Increased Subscriber Levels. The sum of the Reference Subscriber Level and the four Increased Subscriber Levels shall be divided by five to set the Adjusted Monthly Subscribers. The Adjusted Monthly Subscribers
shall be multiplied by the Price Per Subscriber and the product thereof shall be multiplied by fifty-five percent to set the Weighted Subscriber Value. 
  
 If the Average Monthly Subscribers for the ninth month after the Exercise Year are higher than the Reference Subscriber Level and STREAM has offered the
Channel on a new or newly acquired platform or platforms (i.e., a platform which at no time during the Exercise Year was used to distribute the Channel), then STREAM shall make a supplemental payment of the Exercise Price to CNI equal to the amount
that results from substituting the Reference Subscriber Level with the average monthly new platform Subscribers for the ninth month after the Exercise Year into the calculation of the Weighted Subscriber Value. This supplemental payment shall be
made no later than ten months after the end of the Exercise Year. 
  
 The “Price Per Subscriber” shall be equal to $15.00 per Subscriber if the Exercise Year is Year 4, or if the Notice Month is in Year 4 or before. Additionally, the “Price Per Subscriber” shall be increased by a $5.00
bonus per Subscriber if the Channel is perceived by the Subscribers to be in the “top” 25% of STREAM’s channels (excluding the Soccer Channel, pay-per-view, A-La-Carte, and Packages) at the time when STREAM exercises the Purchase
Option or the Accelerated Purchase Option for one-hundred percent of CNI. Each party shall appoint a nationally or internationally recognized market research firm, and the market research firms will jointly poll the Subscribers to rank each of
STREAM’s channels included in the Channel Packages (excluding the Soccer Channel, pay-per-view, A-La-Carte, and Packages) based on the channel’s importance in the Subscriber’s decision to subscribe to any Channel Package. If these two
firms do not agree on a joint conclusion, the two firms shall jointly appoint a third market research firm to make a final decision. If a party fails to appoint the market research firm, the other party shall request the President of the Rome
Tribunal to appoint a market research expert. The decision of the two firms (or the third, as the case may be) shall be binding upon the parties. Each party shall pay fifty percent of the aggregate cost of the market research. After Year 4, the
Price Per Subscriber and the $5.00 bonus shall be increased by the consumer price index published by ISTAT compounded each year to account for inflation. 
  
 (ii) Present Value of Future Cash Flows. For purposes of the Purchase Option, the sum of the payments from STREAM to CNI in the Exercise Year plus
any other revenues paid in the Exercise Year to CNI which directly relate to the Channel (the “Channel Revenues”) minus the CNI expenses which directly relate to the Channel in the Exercise Year shall determine the income or loss of the
Channel for the Exercise Year (the “Exercise Year Result”). However, for purposes of the Accelerated Purchase Option, the payments due from STREAM to CNI for the Notice Month plus any other revenues paid with respect to the Notice Month to
CNI which directly relate to the Channel (the “Channel Revenues”) minus the CNI expenses which directly relate to the Channel in the Notice Month, and multiplied by twelve shall determine the income or loss of the Channel for the Exercise
Year (alternatively, the “Exercise Year Result”). 
  

 -19- 

 Inter-company payments and any payment from STREAM to CNI of the Exercise Price shall be excluded from
the computation of the Channel Revenues and expenses. The Payment Credit shall be excluded from the computation of the Channel expenses. If the Exercise Year Result is a negative number, it shall be treated as equal to zero. To reflect Subscriber
increases for each of the four Years following the Exercise Year, the Exercise Year Result shall be increased by twenty percent compounded for each of the next four Years and shall be multiplied by 0.909, 0.826, 0.751 and 0.681, respectively, to
determine the Increased Exercise Year Results. The Residual Value of the Channel shall be determined by: (i) multiplying the Exercise Year Result by 2.48832, (ii) dividing that product by 0.10, and (iii) then multiplying the quotient by 0.621. The
sum of the four Increased Exercise Year Results and the Residual Value shall be multiplied by thirty-five percent to set the Weighted Present Value of Future Cash Flows. 
  
 (iii) Channel Assets. The depreciated value of the Channel assets reflected on the combined financial statements of
CNI and other companies which hold Channel assets, as of the last day of the Exercise Year or as of the last day of the Notice Month, as the case may be, shall be multiplied by ten percent to set the Weighted Asset Value. Where applicable, civil,
not tax, values shall be used. 
  
 (b) Channel Value. The
sum of the Weighted Subscriber Value, the Weighted Present Value of Future Cash Flows and the Weighted Asset Value equals the current value of the Channel (the “Channel Value”). 
  
 (c) Price Payable. The Exercise Price shall be determined by multiplying the Channel Value by the percentage of
CNI’s stock which STREAM is going to purchase. 
  
 (d)

any conditions imposed thereon. The withholding, delay or termination of any necessary governmental and regulatory permits, licenses, approvals and clearances shall not release the parties from their obligations hereunder. 
  
 12.3 Condition Precedent. This Agreement is subject to the condition
precedent that CNI (or its affiliates, if applicable) secure any and all necessary governmental and regulatory permits, licenses, approvals, and clearances required for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. CNI shall use its best

Agreement. CNI shall notify STREAM promptly upon receipt of such permits or other authorizations, or upon receipt of confirmation that no such permits or authorizations are necessary, whichever the case may be, and the date of such notice shall be
the Effective Date. In the event that CNI can not obtain the necessary permits or other authorizations within six months after the date of this Agreement, after making good faith efforts to do so, CNI shall notify STREAM of its inability to obtain
such permits or other authorizations, and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect.

rental, license, exhibition, possession or use of the Channel or any equipment used in connection with the Channel by STREAM. CNI shall pay and hold STREAM harmless from and against all taxes, franchise fees, and other similar or dissimilar charges
(other than taxes based on CNI net income) arising out of the production of the Channel for provision to Subscribers by STREAM as contemplated under this Agreement. 
  
 13.3 Indemnification. 
  
 (a) For the purposes of this Section 13.3, the term “Indemnitee” shall refer to the person or persons entitled, or claiming to be entitled, to
be indemnified, pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.1 or 13.2. The term “Indemnitor” shall refer to the person or persons having the obligation to indemnify pursuant to such provisions. 
  
 (b) An Indemnitee shall promptly give the Indemnitor notice of any matter
which an Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, stating the amount of the loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, all with reasonable particularity and containing a
reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. Failure to provide the Indemnitor notice within one year of the event giving rise to the claim or within one year of the claiming
party’s knowledge of the event shall relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder. If an Indemnitee shall receive notice of any claim by a third party which is or may be subject to indemnification (a “Third Party Claim”), the
Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitor prompt notice of such Third Party Claim and shall permit the Indemnitor, at its option, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim by counsel of its own choice and at its expense. If, however, the
Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder against all losses that may result from such Third Party Claim (subject to the limitations set forth herein), then the Indemnitor shall be entitled, at its
option, to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice. In the event the Indemnitor exercises its right to undertake the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall
co-operate with the Indemnitor in such defense and make available to the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in its possession or under its control relating thereto as is
reasonably required by the Indemnitor. Similarly, in the event the Indemnitee is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall co-operate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make
available to it all such witnesses, records, materials and information in its possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnitee. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnitor without the
written consent of the Indemnitee, unless the settlement involves only payment of money by the Indemnitor. Similarly, no Third Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by the Indemnitor shall be settled by the Indemnitee without the written
consent of the Indemnitor.

enactment, or governmental order any limitation is imposed on the area upon which, or on the means through which, STREAM may legitimately perform its activities hereunder, the present Agreement shall remain valid and binding and STREAM’s
activities shall be rendered with respect to those parts of the Territory and/or means where STREAM may legitimately render the same. In the foregoing case, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a revision and/or amendment to the present
Agreement, including but not limited to an amendment providing for STREAM’s right to assign any of its obligations to any other operators, which takes into account the effects of any such law or legal enactment or governmental order.

 SCHEDULE A 
  
 CHANNEL DESCRIPTION 
  
 A. Service Profile 
  
 The Channel will aim at the world of culture, arts and entertainment. The identity of the Channel will be that of an “intelligent television
channel”, which is able to ‘sign’ its creative choices and to build credibility. The editorial profile will be tailored to the habits of the Italian viewer through constant anchors, such as emphasis on certain genres and on new faces.
The Channel will be created exclusively for the Italian viewer, but it will embrace the world’s pulse, instead of being strictly Italian. Its identity will propose a new ‘Point of View’ concentrating on high quality entertainment of
all possible genres, and not on traditional cultural contents. The target viewer of the Channel would be aged between 25 and 50, well educated, with a medium-high income, but not necessarily consumer oriented (quality rather than quantity); his
interest in the world of culture and entertainment is high and selective, and an essential key to understand and create his lifestyle. 
  
 The content of the Channel will be comprised of films, documentaries, performing arts music and other programming produced in Italy, the United States,
and other relevant international markets. All programming will be exhibited in its Italian version, which will be consistent with the standards of the Italian television broadcasting industry. The following genres represent the core of the Channel:

  

	 FILMS: 
	 Film programming will include new works, classics and critically acclaimed titles released by both studios and independent producers, both from
Italy, US, and abroad. Films will be feature length and short form. 

  

	 DOCUMENTARIES: 
	 Italian and international documentaries about the world of culture, arts, music and entertainment, as interview specials, artist profiles,
“making of’s”, “behind the scenes”, etc, but also repackaged Italian archive footage. 

  

	 MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS: 
	 Concerts, events and festivals of Classical Music, Jazz, Pop, Rock, and new types of music, with focus on Italian taste.

  

	 OTHER PROGRAMMING: 
	 Travel, theater, books, fashion, trends, politics, sports, etc. For all of these genres the Channel will create forms of programming (wraps,
reportages, magazines) and packaging suitable to its programming profile. 

  
 B. Service Format 
  
 The Channel will be comprised of an 8 hour program block rotated 3 times per day for a 

 total of 24 hours each day. After Year 5, if the Channel has a minimum of one million Subscribers, then the Channel will
be comprised of a 12 hour program block rotated 2 times per day for a total of 24 hours each day. The Channel will be designed as an advertiser supported service. Formatted with 8-10 commercial minutes per hour. The premiere block of programming
will be time shifted to begin at prime time each day. 
  
 C. Channel
Composition 
  
 To the extent permitted by the applicable
laws, the Channel will be comprised of Italian, US and other international programming of the genres listed in Section A and as outlined below: 
  
 % of Programming by Category: 
  
 40%-50% Films 
 10%-20% Documentaries

 10%-20% Other programming 
 10%-20% Interstitial programming and program hosts 
 10%-20% Music and performing arts 
  
 Films: 
  
 20%-40% Italian 
 20%-40% US 
 10%-20% European 
 10%-20% Other International 
  
 The Channel will include a minimum of 100 new to the Channel (Italian dubbed) films per year, and will seek to include an additional 30 (Italian
subtitled) films per year, to reach a target of 130 newly acquired titles per year. CNI will use reasonable efforts to ensure that at least 20% of the film titles will be seven (7) years old or newer. The “new to the Channel” films will
comprise winners of Italian and international festivals, critically acclaimed titles, and successful niche films. Each film of the total yearly amount will not be exhibited more than once during the hours of 21:30-23:00 within a ten month period
during each calendar year. 
  
 Non-Film: 
  
 The Channel will include a minimum of 100 new to the Channel hours of
non-film product per year, and will seek to include an additional 75 hours of non-film product per year, to reach a target of 175 hours per year. Non-film programming will consist of documentaries, music and performing arts, interstitial and other
programming. 

 SCHEDULE B 
  
 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR BETACAM VIDEOTAPES 
  
 This document describes the technical requirements for program materials to be used by CNI for origination of television programming. All
specifications shown herein apply to Betacam SP 1/2” tapes. 
  
 FORMAT FOR
VIDEO SUBMASTER 
  
 Information shall be recorded on Betacam SP Metal long
cassette format only. Each cassette shall have fifteen seconds of color black followed by one minute of spit-field color bars (EBU fulfilled or SMPTE standard) at the head of the tape. Color bars shall be followed by one minute of color black prior
to program information. The end of program material of each reel shall transition directly to color black. Color black shall continue until the end of the tape. 
  

The program shall be uninterrupted on any reel. No extraneous information, such as slugs or countdown clocks shall be contained within, at the beginning, or end of the
program. 
  
 There shall be no overlap of program material between reels.

  
 Where programs are broken into more than one reel, there should be, if
possible, a minimum of one second of audio without dialogue at either the beginning or end of program for each reel. This will allow transitions between reels without disturbing dialogue. 
  
 Color bar video information shall be accompanied by 1 Kilohertz audio tone at +4 dBm on all audio tracks. During the 15 second period of
black preceding color bars, the one minute of black after color bars, and the portion of black tape at the end of the reel, audio shall be silent on all tracks with the exception of time code. 
  
 Both color and monochrome programs shall meet EIA RS170A standards for levels and timing of
signal components. Monochrome programs shall contain color burst at its customary location. 
  
 Color programs shall use PAL-BG encoding techniques, except where the master tape is recorded in component video. In this case color difference signals should be used, if possible. These color differences signals (Y,
R-Y, B-Y) shall adhere to Sony Betacam format with respect to level and timing. 
  
 A standard VITS signal (FCC 73.670) should be recorded on each reel. 
  
 If closed caption is included, it shall appear on line 21 of field 1 of the vertical blanking interval. 

 Where possible, program audio should be recorded in stereo. All reels must be labeled stereo. For stereo programs, audio
channels 1 and 3 should have identical information on them and audio channels 2 and 4 should have identical information on them. Monaural program audio should be recorded the same on all channels (1 through 4). With respect to dual language program
audio, Italian mixed version should be recorded on audio channels 1 and 2, if possible, and the non-Italian mixed version should be recorded on audio channels 3 and 4, if possible. 
  
 SMPTE standard 80-bit, longitudinal, drop-frame time code shall be recorded on the time code track. It shall be recorded continuously from
the beginning of the reel to the end, with 01:00:00:00 appearing at the first frame of program video (or first frame of audio if program begins with audio over black). 
  
 Peak white shall be 100 IRE units, with excursions not to exceed 104 IRE units for specular highlights. Black shall be maintained at a
nominal level of 7.5 IRE, with minimum negative excursions not to exceed -5 IRE. The minimum unweighted signal to noise ration shall be 46dB. 
  
 Differential phase shall not exceed 3 degrees and differential gain shall not exceed 4 percent.

STREAM as a pay-television operator in a manner that is no less prominent than those other pay-television distributors.

services.” 

  

	 	(g)	In Section 4.9 the words “For so long as STREAM has retained exclusivity under this Agreement,” and “or distribute” shall be deleted; the words

 SCHEDULE 1 
  
 REVISED SCHEDULE A TO THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT 
  
 SCHEDULE A 
  
 CHANNEL DESCRIPTION 
  
 A. Service Profile 
  
 The Channel will aim at the world of culture, arts and entertainment. The identity of the Channel will be that of an “intelligent television
channel”, which is able to ‘sign’ its creative choices and to build credibility. The editorial profile will be tailored to the habits of the Italian viewer through constant anchors, such as emphasis on certain genres and on new faces.
The Channel will be created exclusively for the Italian viewer, but it will embrace the world’s pulse, instead of being strictly Italian. Its identity will propose a new ‘Point of View’ concentrating on high quality entertainment of
all possible genres, and not on traditional cultural contents. The target viewer of the Channel would be aged between 25 and 50, well educated, with a medium-high income, but not necessarily consumer oriented (quality rather than quantity); his
interest in the world of culture and entertainment is high and selective, and an essential key to understand and create his lifestyle. 
  
 The content of the Channel will be comprised of films, documentaries, performing arts music and other programming produced in Italy, the United States,
and other relevant international markets. All programming will be exhibited in its Italian version, which will be consistent with the standards of the Italian television broadcasting industry. The following genres represent the core of the Channel:

  

			
	 FILMS:
	  	Film programming will include new works, classics and critically acclaimed titles released by both studios and independent producers, both from Italy, US, and abroad. Films will be feature
length and short form.
		
	 DOCUMENTARIES:
	  	Italian and international documentaries about the world of culture, arts, music and entertainment, as interview specials, artist profiles, “making of’s”, “behind the
scenes”, etc, but also repackaged Italian archive footage.
		
	 MUSIC /PERFORMING ARTS:
	  	Concerts, events and festivals of Classical Music, Jazz, Pop, Rock, and new types of music, with focus on Italian taste.
		
	 OTHER PROGRAMMING:
	  	 Travel, theatre, books, fashion, trends, politics, sports, etc. For all of these genres the Channel will create forms of programming (wraps,
reportages, magazines) and packaging suitable to its programming profile.

  

 -18- 

 B. Service Format 
  

The Channel will be comprised of an 8 hour program block rotated 3 times per day for a total of 24 hours each day. CNI will use reasonable efforts to
reformat the Channel to be comprised of a 12 hour program block rotated 2 times per day for a total of 24 hours each day by the Relaunch Date, provided that in any event such reformatting shall occur no later than nine months from the Relaunch Date.
The channel may include advertising. 
  
 In any calendar year, no
more than 65% of all programming (by aggregate minutage) may consist of feature films originally produced for theatrical release. 
  
 C. Programme Spend 
  
 The following commitments shall apply to the Channel:
