         This Third Amendment dated as of October 31, 2002 (this "Third

January 31, 2002, as amended by First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement dated as of April 30, 2002 and by Second Amendment to Amended and

         WHEREAS, the parties wish to make certain modifications to the Credit
Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto do hereby amend the Credit Agreement
on the terms and conditions hereof and do hereby agree as follows:

         1. Unless otherwise defined herein, all defined terms used in this
Third Amendment shall have the same meaning ascribed to such terms in the Credit
Agreement.

         2. Section 2.5.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated
to read in its entirety as follow:

                  2.5.3. Increase in Aggregate Commitment. At any time after
        Borrower's Leverage Ratio has been less than 3.50 to 1.00 for two
        consecutive calendar quarters Borrower shall have the option to request
        that the Tranche A Lenders increase their respective Tranche A
        Commitments such that the Aggregate Tranche Commitment shall be
        increased to an amount not in excess of $119,500,000.00, but no Tranche
        A Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any such
        requested increase, and each Tranche A Lender may in its sole and
        absolute discretion reject any such requested increase. If the Tranche A
        Lenders do not agree to increase their respective Tranche A Commitments
        by amounts sufficient to provide the entire amount of the requested
        increase in the Aggregate Tranche A Commitment, the Administrative Agent
        shall have the right to admit additional Tranche A Lenders, if any are
        agreeable, to increase the Aggregate Tranche A Commitment to the amount
        requested by the Borrower, up to the maximum amount of $119,500,000.00.
        In such event, the Pro Rata Tranche A Share of the existing Lenders
        automatically shall be adjusted. In the event of such increase, whether
        by increase in the respective Tranche A Commitments of existing Tranche
        A Lenders or by admission of additional Tranche A Lenders, the Pro Rata
        Share of the Lenders automatically shall be adjusted.

Licensee Receivers by Licensee; and (b) *** ETC Receivers, for each Licensee
Receiver and Specialty OEM Receiver that is (i) sold by Licensee directly to a
Licensee Retailer, (ii) is resold by such Licensee Retailer directly to an
end-user in the Territory, and (iii) results in the creation of a new Subscriber
Account; provided that the *** set forth in Subsection (a) above shall count
towards ETC's purchase obligations under Subsection (b) above. ETC shall have
*** from the date of Activation of the underlying Licensee Receiver or Specialty
OEM Receiver to order and accept delivery of its matching purchase of an ETC
Receiver under Subsection (b) above from Licensee. ETC's purchase obligations
under this Section 2.7.1 are subject to the forecasting, ordering, shipping and
delivery terms and conditions set forth in Sections 2.7.4, 2.7.5 and 2.7.6
below, and are contingent upon Licensee meeting or exceeding ETC's reasonable
manufacture and delivery requirements that do not conflict with Sections 2.7.4,
2.7.5, 2.7.6 and 2.16 below.

                  2.7.2 ETC shall be entitled to choose, in its sole judgment
from available Licensee Receiver models, the ETC Receiver model that it will
purchase, regardless of the underlying model Licensee Receiver or Specialty OEM
Receiver giving rise to ETC's purchase obligations under Section 2.7.1 above.
ETC's purchase obligations under Section 2.7.1 shall be contingent upon: (i) the
ETC Receivers meeting ETC's quality and compatibility standards; ***

                  2.7.3 Upon request, Licensee shall affix such ETC Marks and
Third Party Marks as ETC may designate from time to time in writing on the ETC
Receivers (including without limitation on the bezel (front panel) and
electronic program guide), any Accessories included therewith, any packaging
therefor, and ODUs in accordance with: (i) ETC's trademark usage guidelines, the
current version of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A; and (ii) ETC's user
interface specification, as such guidelines and specification may change from
time to time in ETC's sole discretion upon written notice to Licensee, and as
ETC may otherwise direct at any time and from time to time; provided that
Licensee shall have a commercially reasonable period of time to implement
changes to such guidelines, specification and direction. Licensee shall have no
right whatsoever to affix any Licensee branding or other marks to ETC Receivers
without ETC's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in ETC's sole
judgment. Except as otherwise set forth to the contrary in this Section 2.7.3,
all ETC Receivers delivered hereunder to ETC (or its designees) shall be
identical in functionality and technical specifications to Licensee Receivers,
and shall be identical in appearance to Licensee Receivers. Notwithstanding the
above, Licensee shall not be obligated to include *** provided that Licensee
shall be obligated to include ***.

                  2.7.4 Commencing with the first full calendar month in the
Term and during each calendar month in the Term thereafter, ETC shall provide
Licensee with a forecast specifying quantities of each available Licensee
Receiver model that ETC expects to purchase in each of the *** months following
the calendar month in which the forecast was provided to Licensee (the "Forecast
Month"). With respect to

the *** months of the initial forecast and the *** month of each forecast
submitted thereafter, the specified quantities for each forecasted model of ETC
Receiver may be increased or decreased by ETC by *** upon issuance of the next
forecast. With respect to the *** month of each forecast, the specified
quantities for each forecasted model of ETC Receiver may be increased or
decreased by ETC by *** upon issuance of the next forecast. With respect to the
*** month of each forecast, the specified quantities for each forecasted model
of ETC Receiver may be increased or decreased by ETC by *** upon issuance of the
next forecast. With respect to the *** month of each forecast, the specified
quantities for each forecasted model of ETC Receiver may be increased or
decreased by ETC by *** upon issuance of the next forecast. Subject to the
above, a new monthly forecast will always supercede completely any previous
forecasts. Licensee shall order or inventory component parts sufficient to meet
the requirements specified in the *** months of each forecast. For components
whose purchase lead times exceed *** months, Licensee will calculate component
quantity requirements corresponding to those components' lead times, and
approach ETC for authorization to purchase those parts. ETC may then authorize
purchase of some or all of the components beyond the *** month time horizon, and
will become liable for the cost of these components should ETC's future purchase
orders not consume those authorized quantities. Licensee shall approach ETC for
re-authorization monthly for all such long lead time components.

                  2.7.5 ETC will use reasonable commercial efforts to translate
the *** months of the initial forecast and the *** month of each forecast
submitted thereafter into a purchase order, including requested delivery dates,
on or before the *** day of the applicable Forecast Month. Purchase orders of
ETC shall state only: (i) identity of goods; (ii) quantity of goods; (iii)
purchase price of goods; and (iv) requested ship date of goods. In the event of
any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of a purchase order and the
terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. Licensee
will make commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill all valid purchase orders
issued by ETC. Any failure to confirm such a purchase order shall not be deemed
acceptance by Licensee. Licensee will inform ETC of the acceptance or rejection
of a purchase order, in whole or in part, within a reasonable time after receipt
of the relevant purchase order. Should Licensee reject the applicable purchase
order or should Licensee's acceptance include different delivery dates or
product mix than in the ETC purchase order, ETC shall be permitted to modify the
purchase order in whole or in part and the process shall be repeated until full
agreement is reached. ETC shall have the option, exercisable in its sole
discretion, to reduce its obligation to purchase ETC Receivers from Licensee
under Section 2.7.1 above by the difference between the original quantity
ordered by ETC, and the quantity finally agreed upon pursuant to the above
process, which shall be deemed to be zero (0) in the event that Licensee
rejected the applicable purchase order or the parties are unable to agree upon a
final quantity; provided that, in the event that the original quantity ordered
by ETC is greater than the average monthly quantity ordered by ETC from *** and
all Other Manufacturers over the

preceding twelve (12) months (the "Average Quantity"), then ETC shall only have
the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to reduce its obligation to
purchase ETC Receivers from Licensee under Section 2.7.1 above by the difference
between the Average Quantity, and the quantity finally agreed upon pursuant to
the above process. The quantities specified for each model of ETC Receiver in a
purchase order issued by ETC under this Section 2.7.5 may be increased or
decreased by ETC by *** without penalty, subject to its obligation under Section
2.7.1 to (a) purchase *** ETC Receivers within the *** period beginning upon
commencement of the first mass production run of Licensee Receivers by Licensee
and (b) order and accept delivery of its matching purchase of *** ETC Receivers
from Licensee within *** from the date of Activation of the underlying Licensee
Receiver or Specialty OEM Receiver, as the case may be. Additionally, ETC shall
have the right to modify any purchase order issued under this Section 2.7.5 to
extend delivery dates and change delivery locations upon written notice to
Licensee received at least two (2) business days prior to the scheduled ship
date, subject to its obligations under Section 2.7.1 to (a) purchase *** ETC
Receivers within the six (6) month period beginning upon commencement of the
first mass production run of Licensee Receivers by Licensee and (b) order and
accept delivery of its matching purchase *** ETC Receivers from Licensee within

or Specialty OEM Receiver, as the case may be.

                  2.7.6 All ETC Receivers shall be shipped D.D.P. ETC's
warehouse (a) Denver, Colorado USA, or (b) Atlanta, Georgia USA, at ETC's option
exercisable from time to time in its sole judgment, but title and risk of loss
shall pass to ETC when the applicable ETC Receivers cross into the customs
territory of the United States. Licensee shall obtain, at its own expense, cargo
insurance for each shipment of ETC Receivers. Such insurance shall be on terms
and conditions reasonably acceptable to ETC and shall be placed with reputable
underwriters or a reputable insurance company reasonably acceptable to ETC. Such
insurance shall name ETC as an additional insured and shall name ETC as sole
loss payee from and after the point at which title and risk of loss for the
relevant shipment of ETC Receivers passes to ETC (as provided above). The
duration of such insurance cover shall be from the point at which title and risk
of loss for the relevant shipment of ETC Receivers passes to ETC (as provided
above) through delivery of the relevant shipment of ETC Receivers to ETC at the
agreed point at the named place of destination. The minimum insurance shall
cover the price provided in this Agreement for the relevant ETC receivers and
shall be provided in the currency set forth herein. Licensee shall, upon ETC's
request, provide ETC with any and all relevant insurance policies or other
evidence of relevant insurance cover reasonably acceptable to ETC. Licensee

items or otherwise arising prior to the transfer of title and risk of loss to
ETC, and ETC shall have no liability or responsibility if Licensee is unable to
obtain full compensation for any loss from any such claim. ETC shall have the
sole responsibility to file any claims with the carrier for damage, missing
items or otherwise arising after the transfer of title and risk of loss to ETC,
and Licensee shall have no liability or responsibility if ETC is unable to
obtain full compensation for any loss from any such claim. Licensee shall be
responsible for all costs of shipping of ETC Receivers. Licensee and ETC shall
mutually agree upon the method of shipment and carrier. Shipments will be made
in standard shipping packages that have been approved by ETC. All shipments will
include a packing slip which lists items contained in the shipment by part
number, descriptions (including the CAID number, serial number and corresponding
Smart Card number for each ETC Receiver), quantity, and purchase order number.
Not later than *** before the scheduled delivery dates, ETC will notify Licensee
in writing of the specific shipping destinations and the specific quantity of
ETC Receivers to be shipped to each destination, which ETC agrees will be in
full truckloads with at least one full truckload per destination or such other
minimum quantity as the parties may agree to from time to time. Licensee will
use reasonable efforts to make shipments of ETC Receivers by the dates specified
in purchase orders accepted from ETC; provided, however, that Licensee shall be
permitted to modify shipping dates due to circumstances beyond Licensee's
reasonable control. All deliveries are contingent on Licensee or ***, as the
case may be, receiving timely shipment of necessary materials for production.
Within five (5) days after Licensee becomes aware that it will not be able to
make shipment of ETC Receivers by the date specified in a purchase order
accepted from ETC, Licensee shall give ETC notice setting forth an estimated
delivery date. ETC shall have the right to cancel or modify any purchase order
for which Licensee extends the shipping date by more than thirty (30) days or
fails to ship within thirty (30) days of the shipping date specified in the
purchase order, by means of a written notice to Licensee within five (5) days
following written notice by Licensee to ETC of such modification or failure to
ship. ETC shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to apply
the quantity of ETC Receivers set forth in purchase orders canceled by ETC under
this Section 2.7.6 towards the quantity of ETC Receivers required to be
purchased by ETC under Section 2.7.1 above.

                  2.7.7 Price Increases. Increases in the price of any ETC
Receivers shall not apply to any units of ETC Receivers that have been ordered
under a firm and binding purchase order by ETC on or before the effective date
of such price increase, provided the original shipment date specified by ETC is
not more than thirty days after the date of Licensee's acceptance of such order.

                  2.7.8 Price Reductions.

                           (a) Price reductions shall be effective immediately,
unless Licensee specifies otherwise. In the event of a price reduction on an ETC
Receiver, ETC is entitled to request in writing a credit ("DISH Price Reduction
Credit") in an amount based on the inventory of ETC, distributors and retailers
of that particular ETC Receiver, in accordance with the terms of this section.
The amount of credit shall *** multiplied by the *** as of the effective date of
the price reduction.

                           (b) The ETC Receivers shall be compared for
"sameness", counted and priced as systems or individual components in accordance
with how they were originally purchased by ETC from Licensee (ETC Receivers
originally purchased as systems shall not be eligible for a DISH Price Reduction
Credit if the price reduction applies to an individual component, and ETC
Receivers originally purchased as individual components shall not be eligible
for a DISH Price Reduction Credit if the price reduction applies to a system).
Within five (5) business days after the effective date of such price change, ETC
shall furnish Licensee with an itemized inventory (including all inventory
located at any distributor or retailer location that is the subject of the
request for the DISH Price Reduction Credit), with serial numbers, of the
relevant ETC Receivers and corresponding Smart Cards for each ETC Receiver, as
of such date, including information as to the mode of original purchase from
Licensee (as systems or individual components), the amount of time such ETC
Receivers have been held in the inventory of ETC, a distributor or a retailer
and any other information Licensee may reasonably request. Any DISH Price
Reduction Credit shall be applied by Licensee to the purchase price of ETC's
subsequent orders of ETC Receivers from Licensee in the form of a credit memo
issued to ETC by Licensee. If at the time of the price reduction, ETC has
ordered but not yet paid for ETC Receivers, ETC shall only be required to pay
for such ETC Receivers at the reduced price. Therefore, no DISH Price Reduction
Credit shall accrue with respect to those orders.

                           (c) Licensee shall have the right to audit upon
reasonable notice the inventory of ETC, any distributor or any retailer to
verify the accuracy of any request by ETC for a DISH Price Reduction Credit. ETC
shall also provide, at Licensee's request, the supporting information described
in the preceding paragraph in electronic format to facilitate the verification
by Licensee that an ETC Receiver subject to a request for a DISH Price Reduction
Credit has not been Activated.

                  2.7.9 In addition to the purchases described in Section 2.7.1
above, ETC shall have the option, exercisable in its sole judgment at any time
and from time to time to purchase ETC Receivers from Licensee, subject to the
forecasting, ordering, shipping and delivery terms set forth in Sections 2.7.4,
2.7.5 and 2.7.6.

                  2.7.10 Licensee will only be authorized to sell ETC Receivers
to ETC and such other persons and entities as ETC may approve from time to time
in writing in ETC's sole judgment. ETC's approval of a person or entity under
this Section 2.7.10 shall apply to all orders placed by said person or entity
until written notice of revocation of such approval has been received by
Licensee.

                  2.7.11 All invoices to ETC hereunder shall be due, in
immediately available funds, within *** from the date of invoice, which shall be
issued no earlier than the ship date for the ETC Receivers covered by the
invoice.

                  2.7.12 Default. If ETC defaults in any payment due Licensee,
or ETC violates any material term or condition of this Agreement or of any
credit extended by Licensee or any Affiliate to ETC, Licensee reserves the right
to: (i) suspend any shipment to ETC; (ii) require payment for shipments prior to
shipment or delivery; and/or (iii) require payment of all unpaid balances prior
to any shipment and payment for that shipment. Exercise of any of the above
rights by Licensee shall not be construed as a limitation of Licensee's
authority to exercise any other rights which Licensee may have at law, in
equity, under contract or otherwise.

                  2.7.13 Sale of ETC Receivers by Licensee.

                           (a) While, subject to Sections 2.7.5 and 2.7.6, ETC's
obligation to honor purchase orders submitted to Licensee is absolute, in the
event that ETC breaches this obligation, then ETC shall have the option to pay
to Licensee, in advance, all costs ("ETC Retrofit Costs") anticipated by
Licensee as reasonable and necessary to remove all ETC Marks from the ETC
Receivers covered by the relevant purchase order(s) ("ETC Excess Inventory") and
otherwise retrofit the ETC Excess Inventory for sale as RCA, GE or RCA Scenium
brand product

                           (b) In the event that ETC pays the ETC Retrofit Costs
to Licensee, in advance and within five (5) business days after receipt of
Licensee's invoice, Licensee agrees to retrofit the units of ETC Excess
Inventory, as necessary, and use reasonable commercial efforts to resell the ETC
Excess Inventory, at prices determined by Licensee, to any person or entity
authorized by Licensee as an RCA, GE or RCA Scenium retailer. In the event that
Licensee is unable, through the exercise of reasonable commercial efforts, to
resell any such ETC Excess Inventory, Licensee shall be entitled to exercise any
other remedies available to Licensee under this Agreement, at law, in equity or
otherwise for breach of ETC's obligations regarding the relevant purchase order.

                           (c) In the event that (i) ETC does not opt to pay the
Retrofit Costs or (ii) ETC opts to pay the Retrofit Costs but does not actually
pay the ETC Retrofit Costs to Licensee, in advance and within five (5) business
days after receipt of such invoice, then in addition to all other remedies
available to Licensee under this Agreement, at law, in equity, under contract or
otherwise Licensee and/or any of its Affiliates shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to sell ETC Excess Inventory without removing the ETC Marks. ETC
hereby grants to Licensee and its Affiliates a license to the ETC Marks as
necessary for the marketing and sale of such ETC Excess Inventory under this
Section 2.7.13(c).

<PAGE>

                           (d) This Section 2.7.13 shall not be construed as
creating an obligation upon Licensee to mitigate its damages by removing ETC
Marks or otherwise retrofitting ETC Excess Inventory for sale as RCA, GE or RCA
Scenium brand products, and its is hereby expressly agreed by the parties that
Licensee has no such obligation, it being recognized by the parties that
Licensee and its Affiliates would incur additional risk and cost in exercising
such remedy including but not limited to lost opportunity costs.

         2.8 Responsibilities. Licensee shall be solely responsible for the
manufacture of the Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, ETC shall provide Licensee with a reasonable amount of technical
assistance from ETC relating to the development, manufacture and testing of the
Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers, particularly as relates to the Licensed
Technology.

         2.9 Expenses/Intellectual Property Ownership.

                  2.9.1 Manufacturing and Sales Costs. All costs and expenses
incurred by a party in connection with the manufacture and sale of the OEM
Receivers, Licensee Receivers and the ETC Receivers shall be the sole
responsibility of such party.

                  2.9.2 EchoStar Technology. EchoStar shall own all technology
solely developed by EchoStar. Furthermore, EchoStar shall own all derivative
works, enhancements, improvements and modifications to the Licensed Technology
that is proprietary to ETC and is provided to Licensee pursuant to this
agreement (collectively "Advancements to EchoStar Technology"). Advancements to
EchoStar Technology are intended to encompass all developments which either
would not or could not have been made absent access to the Licensed Technology
that is proprietary to ETC and is provided to Licensee pursuant to this
agreement. Such Advancements to EchoStar Technology are not intended to cover
features which are completely independent and separable from the Licensed
Technology that is proprietary to ETC and is provided to Licensee pursuant to
this agreement.

                  2.9.3 Licensee Technology. Licensee shall own all technology

technology that is proprietary to Licensee and is provided to ETC pursuant to
this agreement.

                  2.9.4 Joint Intellectual Property. The parties shall jointly
own any intellectual property jointly developed by both parties. Absent a
written agreement to the contrary, each party shall be deemed to own an equal
and undivided interest in and to such jointly developed intellectual property
and shall be entitled to license, sublicense, make any use of or derive any
benefits, royalties, or compensation from the licensing, use or other
exploitation of such jointly developed intellectual property without the written
consent of, or accounting to, the other party. Absent a written agreement to the
contrary, neither party shall be required to file or prosecute any patent
applications or maintain any issued patents to protect such jointly developed
intellectual property. However, if one party decides to file a patent
application, the other party shall be required to provide all reasonable
assistance and cooperation to ensure the successful progress and issuance of
such patent application. Absent a written agreement, such reasonable assistance
and cooperation shall not include the payment of any costs or attorney fees
associated with the prosecution, issuance or maintenance of any patents based
upon such patent application. Nevertheless, the fact that one party has not paid
any cost or attorney fees associated with any costs or attorney fees associated
with the prosecution, issuance or maintenance of any patents based upon such
patent application, shall not reduce, eliminate or in any way alter the status
of the non-paying party's equal and undivided interest in and to such patent
application and any patent which issues therefrom.

                  2.9.5 Contested Technology. The parties recognize that they
are each engaged in, among other things, the development of satellite television
receivers. Accordingly, each party may employ features for which the other party
has filed a patent application or received an issued patent. The fact that one
party has received such patent protection does not mean that it is in fact
entitled to own such patent protection and the parties recognize that the U.S.
laws regarding inventorship shall govern any such disputes.

                  2.9.6 NREs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall be
solely responsible for any and all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with any non-recurring expenses (NREs) associated with equipping Licensee's
factory with the necessary tooling and test equipment for the manufacture of
Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers, with the exception of: (i) the costs of
tooling that is solely required for the ETC Receivers, which cost shall be
covered by ETC, and (ii) the cost of test equipment that is solely required for
the ETC receivers, which cost shall be treated in the most favorable manner to
Licensee that the same cost is treated to *** or any Other Manufacturer.

Licensee Receivers, OEM Receivers and Promotional Certificates (or Activations
that qualify for an Incentive under Section 5.1.1(d) or Section 5.1.1(e))
directly to Licensee Retailers during the *** period commencing on the date
first set forth above, and agrees to sell a total of at least *** additional
Licensee Receivers during each subsequent *** period, pro-rated for the final
period if less than ***.

         2.11 Subsidy. For each Licensee Receiver that is sold by Licensee
directly to a Licensee Retailer at an invoice price (exclusive of rebates, co-op
payments, and other incentives or other payments or credits of any nature
whatsoever that have the net effect of reducing the price of such Licensee
Receivers to the Licensee Retailer) below the price (F.O.B. point of shipment in
the continental United States of America) charged to ETC by *** or any other
regular third party manufacturer regularly utilized by ETC, for commercial
quantities of Receivers performing substantially similar functions as the
relevant Licensee Receiver (an "Other Manufacturer"), ESC will pay Licensee a
subsidy (the "Subsidy") equal to the *** as established prior to the beginning
of each calendar quarter. In the event that ESC elects in its sole judgment to
offer non-standard retailer economics to a particular Licensee Retailer, then
the *** used in Subsection (b) above with respect to a particular model Licensee
Receiver shall be the *** charged to retailers in the Territory receiving
substantially same non-standard retailer economics as the applicable Licensee
Retailer by Echosphere for Receivers performing substantially similar functions
the relevant Licensee Receiver, as established prior to the beginning of each
calendar quarter. Licensee shall only be eligible to receive *** Subsidy under
this Section 2.11 with respect to any Licensee Receiver, regardless of the
number of times such Licensee Receiver is Activated for different Subscriber
Accounts. The Subsidy shall be paid, *** to Licensee *** after sale of the
applicable Licensee Receiver to the Licensee Retailer. In the event that ETC
elects, in its sole judgment, to subsidize the cost to *** or any Other
Manufacturer, as the case may be, of a component incorporated into, or an
intellectual property royalty payable in connection with, a Receiver used to set
the invoice price described in Subsection (a) above and ETC elects, in its sole
judgment, not to make the same subsidy available to Licensee, then Licensee
shall be entitled ***.

         2.12 Serial Numbers and Smart Card Numbers. For the purpose of
facilitating the Activation of Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers by ESC,
Licensee will provide ESC with a list on electronic media (and/or paper media
upon ETC's request) in the format requested by ESC, which includes (a) the CAID
number and serial number of each Licensee Receiver and ETC Receiver, (b) the
corresponding Smart Card number for each Licensee Receiver and ETC Receiver, and
(c) such further information as ETC may reasonably request, in each case prior
to: (i) delivery of the Licensee Receiver to a Licensee Retailer, or (ii)
delivery of the ETC Receiver to ETC, its Affiliates or its designee.

         2.13 Written Materials. Licensee agrees that it will include within the
consumer packaging for each Licensee Receiver and ETC Receiver, at Licensee's
sole cost and expense (except that ETC shall be responsible for providing such
items to Licensee or reimbursing Licensee for the direct costs of printing such
items), copies of such written materials as ETC then currently includes within
the consumer packaging for substantially similar Receivers packaged by or on
behalf of ETC and its Affiliates; provided that solely with respect to Licensee
Receivers, such written materials shall not include third party offers and
promotional materials regarding products and services that are competitive with
Licensee's core businesses without Licensee's prior written consent. Licensee
agrees to include such written materials in the same manner as the then-current
method used to include such written materials with each substantially similar
Receiver packaged by or on behalf of ETC and its Affiliates, as such method may
change from time to time in ETC's sole judgment. The Licensee may include within
the consumer packaging for each Licensee Receiver, at Licensee's sole expense
inclusive of direct material costs, promotional material relevant to Licensee's
business which is not competitive with the core businesses of ETC, ESC and their
Affiliates, subject to ETC's approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

         2.14 Call Center Costs/Software and Other Changes.

                  2.14.1 In the event that the proportion of problem calls
received by or on behalf of ESC with respect to particular model Licensee
Receiver or ETC Receiver, as the case may be, is noticeably greater than the
proportion of problem calls received by or on behalf of ESC with respect to the
Receiver model manufactured by or on behalf of ETC performing substantially
similar functions as the relevant model Licensee Receiver or ETC Receiver, as
the case may be, then Licensee agrees to promptly review the problem with ETC
and to jointly establish a corrective course of action to correct the root cause
of the problem, ***.

                  2.14.2 In the event Licensee is notified in a timely manner of
the need to effect software or other changes to ETC Receivers or Licensee
Receivers as a result of system or similar changes initiated by ETC or ESC, but
Licensee does not effect such changes within substantially the same time period
as ETC implements changes to its Receivers generally for the applicable
change(s), and if as a result of such failure to implement the change(s) the
proportion of problem calls received by or on behalf of ESC with respect to
particular models of Licensee Receivers or ETC Receivers is noticeably greater
than the proportion of problem calls received by or on behalf of ESC with
respect to the Receiver models manufactured by or on behalf of ETC performing
substantially similar functions, ***

                           (a) Licensee shall extend ETC's then current standard
consumer warranty to the end users of Licensee Receivers. In addition, Licensee
will provide ***.

                           (b) In the event that Licensee Receivers purchased by
end-users are returned to ETC or any of its affiliates for service or repair,
ETC shall be entitled to ***. In the event that Licensee refuses to service,
repair or replace such Licensee Receivers, such refusal shall constitute a
breach of this Agreement, and in addition to any other remedies available to ETC
(including without limitation termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
6.2(ii)), ETC shall be entitled to ***. In the event that the defined path for
servicing such Licensee Receivers is through direct return to the Licensee, and
not ETC, then ETC agrees to attempt to minimize the errant return of Licensee
Receivers to ETC through using its reasonable commercial efforts to confirm the
brand and model of receiver prior to issuing a return authorization, educate
customer service personnel regarding appropriate procedures and implement other
commercially reasonable methods as may be established by EchoStar.

                  2.15.2 ETC Receivers and Licensee Receivers Leased by

and any lessee thereof that each Licensee Receiver will be free from defects in
materials and workmanship (labor and parts) for a period of *** from the date of
Activation by the original end user of the relevant Licensee Receivers, which
date of Activation shall be provided to Licensee by ETC upon request. This
warranty shall not apply to: (i) any Licensee Receiver that is abused, damaged
by external causes, altered or misused; or (ii) any Licensee Receiver that is
damaged due to improper installation or use. In addition, Licensee will provide
***.

                           (c) Licensee Receivers leased from ETC by end-users
and ETC Receivers shall be considered free from defects in workmanship if they
are manufactured in accordance with ETC's manufacturing workmanship standards
(or those of any third party which manufactures Receivers on ETC's behalf),
conform to the product specifications, and successfully complete product
acceptance tests for the product.

                           (d) Deadline for Claims; Disclaimer. ALL CLAIMS FOR
WARRANTY FULFILLMENT UNDER SECTIONS 2.15.2 (a) AND 2.15.2 (b) MUST BE RECEIVED
BY LICENSEE (OR ITS DESIGNEE) NO LATER THAN *** AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE
APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THE PRODUCT. THIS WARRANTY IS THE ONLY WARRANTY
GIVEN TO ETC BY LICENSEE FOR LICENSEE RECEIVERS LEASED FROM ETC AND ETC
RECEIVERS. LICENSEE MAKES, AND ETC RECEIVES, NO OTHER WARRANTY EITHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED. ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
OR USE, ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED HEREFROM.

                           (e) In the event that Licensee fails to repair or
replace (with new or remanufactured product at the Licensee's sole discretion)
defective in-warranty ETC Receivers or Licensee Receivers that are leased by
end-users from ETC or its Affiliates within *** after ETC delivers such
receivers to Licensee, the Licensee and ETC shall work in good faith to cure the
delinquent service time, ***. In the event Licensee has not cured the delinquent
service time problem within ***, then such failure shall constitute a breach of
this Agreement, entitling ETC to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
6.2.1(ii) in addition to any other remedies available to ETC. ETC shall be
responsible for the cost of shipping such receivers to be serviced to Licensee's
service facilities, and Licensee shall be responsible for the costs of shipping
repaired or replacement units to ETC.

                           (f) In the event that receivers returned to Licensee
pursuant to Section 2.15.2(d) above are determined by Licensee to be
non-defective, then ETC shall be responsible for shipping charges to return the
units to ETC and Licensee may, at its option, charge ETC a diagnostic and
handling charge of *** per non-defective unit.

implementation of Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers. Licensee agrees that in
the manufacture of the Licensee Receivers pursuant to this Agreement,
manufacturing operations shall at all times be conducted to ensure that the
Licensee Receivers manufactured by Licensee or *** shall be in strict
conformance with the ETC Receiver Specifications (absent prior written agreement
by ETC to deviations from the ETC Receiver Specifications, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). Changes to the ETC Receiver Specifications

solely responsible for any loss or damage suffered by a third party as a result
of any flash downloads of software to Licensee Receivers, unless the loss or
damage was contributed to by Licensee's failure to manufacture the applicable
Licensee Receiver(s) in strict conformance with the ETC Receiver Specification.

                  2.16.2 Marking Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers. Licensee
agrees to individually mark each unit of Licensee Receiver manufactured by
Licensee pursuant to this Agreement with a unique serial number (in strict
conformance with ETC's then current serial number format and specification, as
such format and specification may change at any time and from time to time in
ETC's sole judgment upon reasonable prior written notice to Licensee provided
that such change does not require Licensee to incur unreasonable expense) and a
clear and distinct designation of the country of manufacture and/or assembly
origin in accordance with applicable laws.

                  2.16.3 Compliance with Import Laws. Licensee will, at
Licensee's sole cost and expense, comply with all laws, rules and regulations

letter of conformity) or otherwise of each model Licensee Receiver and ETC
Receiver to the ETC Receiver Specifications within thirty (30) days of receipt
by ETC of the relevant model Licensee Receiver or ETC Receiver, as the case may
be. The written test procedures and test plan that is used to determine
conformity of the Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers to the ETC Receiver
Specifications ("Test Procedures and Plan"), shall be furnished to Licensee by
ETC. If ETC reasonably determines that any of Licensee's samples fail to meet
the quality, performance and compatibility standards in the Test Procedures and
Plan, then Licensee shall promptly correct the deficiency before continuing the
manufacture of the Licensee Receivers or ETC Receivers, as the case may be. The
examination by ETC of the conformity of the Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers

*** purchased by Licensee pursuant to Section 2.19 below contain third party
intellectual property that neither ETC nor any of its Affiliates have the right
to sublicense to Licensee without imposing terms and conditions in addition to
those set forth herein, ETC will use reasonable commercial efforts to assist
Licensee in obtaining a license or agreement to license that will enable
Licensee to perform the activities contemplated in this Agreement, such as
assisting Licensee in obtaining a license for the OpenTV platform.

ODUs, in each case in accordance with: (i) ETC's trademark Usage Guidelines, the
current version of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A; and (ii) ETC's user
interface specification, as such guidelines and specification may change from
time to time in ETC's sole discretion upon written notice to Licensee. In
furtherance and without limitation of the foregoing, Licensee agrees that ETC
shall be entitled to: (a) affix such ETC Marks in the center of, and above the
Licensee brand name and Third Party Marks affixed to, all ODUs provided to
Licensee by ETC hereunder; and (b) affix such ETC Marks on the OEM Receivers
(including without limitation on the bezel (front panel) and electronic program
guide), any Accessories included therewith, on the packaging therefor and on any
ODUs, such that the ETC Marks are displayed in a manner which is at least
equally as prominent as the Licensee brand affixed to the same. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, ETC shall have no right to ***.

                  3.4.2 Licensee agrees not to use any of the ETC Marks in any
manner inconsistent with ETC's trademark Usage Guidelines, the current version
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, as such guidelines may change from
time to time in ETC's sole discretion upon written notice to Licensee and
without the prior written consent of ETC, which consent ETC may withhold in its
sole judgment. Licensee expressly acknowledges and understands that ETC and its
Affiliates claim to have the absolute ownership of the ETC Marks that are
proprietary to ETC. Regardless of whether ETC grants Licensee permission to use
any ETC Mark, Licensee agrees that it will not in any way dispute or impugn the
validity of any of the ETC Marks that are proprietary to ETC or for which ETC
has an exclusive license or registrations of the ETC Marks that are proprietary
to ETC or for which ETC has an exclusive license, nor the sole proprietary right
of ETC and its Affiliates to the ETC Marks that are proprietary to ETC, nor the
right of ETC and its Affiliates to use or license the use of the ETC Marks that
are proprietary to ETC or for which ETC has an exclusive license in the
Territory or elsewhere, either during the Term or at any time thereafter.
Licensee further agrees not to perform,

either during the Term or at any time thereafter, any act or deed either of
commission or of omission which is inconsistent with ETC or its Affiliates
proprietary rights in and to the ETC Marks that are proprietary to ETC, whether
or not the ETC Marks are registered.

         3.5 Third Party Trademarks. Licensee may also request that ETC affix
Third Party Marks to the OEM Receivers. Licensee recognizes and understands that
ETC has no authority to grant Licensee any rights to affix the *** standard
trademarks to an OEM Receiver. Should Licensee desire to do so or to affix other
Third Party Marks that ETC does not have the right to sublicense to Licensee
without imposing terms and conditions in addition to those set forth herein,
Licensee must negotiate the entitlement of such rights with the applicable
rights holders. Licensee hereby acknowledges that, in the future, ETC may be
obligated to affix the trademarks, service marks or trade names of the owners of
third party technology that is presently, or at some time in the future,
incorporated into the OEM Receiver, and Licensee hereby grants its approval for
ETC to affix any such trademarks, service marks or trade names to the OEM
Receiver. None of the third party trademarks referenced above shall be more than
half as large as the Licensee brand and ETC Marks affixed to the applicable OEM
Receiver, unless the parties mutually otherwise agree in writing.

         3.6 Identical Receivers. All OEM Receivers delivered hereunder to
Licensee shall be identical in functionality and technical specifications to
Receivers manufactured by or for ETC, and shall be identical in appearance to
such Receivers except for the placement of Licensee brand names on OEM Receivers
pursuant to Section 3.2 above or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in
writing.

         3.7 Price.

                  3.7.1 OEM Receivers. Licensee shall pay ETC for OEM Receivers
an amount equal to the ***. For purposes of this Agreement, *** may change from
time to time in their respective sole judgments. In the event that ESC elects in
its sole judgment to offer non-standard retailer economics to a particular
Licensee Retailer, then for each OEM Receiver that is sold by Licensee directly
to such Licensee Retailer, ETC shall *** for the applicable OEM Receiver and the
*** (as determined at the time ETC accepts the applicable purchase order from
Licensee) at which Echosphere, ETC, ESC or any other Affiliate of ETC or ESC,
sells a Receiver performing substantially similar functions as the relevant OEM
Receiver to retailers in the Territory receiving substantially the same
non-standard retailer economics as the applicable Licensee Retailer, which price
Echosphere, ETC, ESC and such Affiliates may change from time to time in their
respective sole judgments (a "Rebate"). Licensee shall only be eligible to
receive one Rebate under this Section 3.7.1 with respect to any OEM Receiver,
regardless of the number of times such OEM Receiver is Activated for different
Subscriber Accounts. The Rebate shall be paid, *** to Licensee *** after sale of
the applicable OEM Receiver to the Licensee Retailer.

<PAGE>

                  3.7.2 Promotional Certificates. Licensee shall pay ETC for
Promotional Certificates an amount equal to the Current Wholesale Certificate
Price. For purposes of this Agreement, "Current Wholesale Certificate Price"
means, *** which prices Echosphere, ETC, ESC and such Affiliates may change from
time to time in their respective sole judgments.

                  3.7.3 *** Notwithstanding Section 3.7.1 above, *** shall not
apply to any OEM Products that have been ordered under a firm and binding
purchase order by Licensee on or before the effective date of such price
increase, provided the original shipment date specified by Licensee is not more
than *** after the date of ETC's acceptance of such order.

                  3.7.4 Price Reductions.Notwithstanding Section 3.7.1 above:

                           (a) Price reductions shall be effective *** unless
ETC specifies otherwise. In the event of a price reduction on an OEM Product,
Licensee is entitled to request in writing a credit ("Price Reduction Credit")
in an amount based on *** in accordance with the terms of this section. The
amount of credit shall *** less any applicable discounts, rebates, ***
multiplied by *** or *** as of the effective date of the price reduction.

                           (b) The OEM Products shall be compared for
"sameness", counted and priced as systems or individual components in accordance
with how they were originally purchased by Licensee from ETC (OEM Products
originally purchased as systems shall not be eligible for a Price Reduction
Credit if the price reduction applies to an individual component, and OEM
Products originally purchased as individual components shall not be eligible for
a Price Reduction Credit if the price reduction applies to a system). Within
five (5) business days after the effective date of such price change, Licensee
shall furnish ETC *** with serial numbers, of the relevant OEM Products and
corresponding Smart Cards for each OEM Product, as of such date, including
information as to the mode of original purchase from ETC (as systems or
individual components), the amount of time such OEM Products *** and any other
information ETC may reasonably request. Any Price Reduction Credit shall be
applied by ETC to the purchase price of Licensee's subsequent orders of OEM
Products from ETC in the form of a credit memo issued to Licensee by ETC. If at
the time of the price reduction, Licensee has ordered but not yet paid for OEM
Products, Licensee shall only be required to pay for such OEM Products at the
reduced price. Therefore, no Price Reduction Credit shall accrue to those
orders.

                           (c) ETC shall have the right to audit upon reasonable
notice the inventory of Licensee or any Licensee Retailer to verify the accuracy
of any request by Licensee for a Price Reduction Credit. Licensee shall also
provide, at ETC's request,

the supporting information described in the preceding paragraph in electronic
format to facilitate the verification by ETC that an OEM Product subject to a
request for a Price Reduction Credit has not been Activated.

         3.8 Payment. All invoices to Licensee hereunder shall be due, in
immediately available funds, within *** from the date of invoice, which shall be
issued no earlier than the ship date for the OEM Receivers covered by the
invoice.

         3.9 Shipping Costs. All OEM Receivers shall be shipped F.O.B. point of
shipment (a) Huntsville, Alabama USA, (b) Denver, Colorado USA, or (c) Atlanta,
Georgia USA, at ETC's option exercisable from time to time in its sole judgment.
Title and risk of loss of OEM Receivers purchased under this Agreement shall
pass to Licensee upon delivery by ETC or its agent to the carrier for shipment
thereof. Licensee shall be responsible for all costs of shipping and insurance
of OEM Receivers. Licensee shall have the sole responsibility to file any claims
with the carrier for damage, missing items or otherwise, and ETC shall have no
liability or responsibility if Licensee is unable to obtain full compensation
for any loss from the claim. Licensee shall select the method of shipment and
carrier; provided, however, that, in the event that Licensee fails to make the
necessary arrangements for shipment within 3 days of the requested ship date,
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that ETC shall, without incurring any
liability, have the option, in its sole judgment, to select the method of
shipment and the carrier on Licensee's behalf and at Licensee's expense.

         3.10 Default. If Licensee defaults in any payment due ETC, or Licensee
violates any material term or condition of this Agreement or of any credit
extended by ETC or any Affiliate to Licensee, ETC reserves the right to: (i)
suspend any shipment to Licensee; (ii) require payment for shipments prior to
shipment or delivery; and/or (iii) require payment of all unpaid balances prior
to any shipment and payment for that shipment. Exercise of any of the above
rights by ETC shall not be construed as a limitation of ETC's authority to
exercise any other rights which ETC may have at law, in equity or pursuant to
this Agreement.

         3.11 Schedule. Licensee and ETC will each use reasonable commercial
efforts, subject to the other party's support and the criteria described in
Sections 3.2 and 3.3 above, to commence shipping the OEM Receivers as soon as
reasonably practicable after Licensee exercises its option to purchase OEM
Receivers hereunder and provides ETC with its first binding purchase order.

         3.12 Orders, Shipment, Forecasts, and Returns.

                  3.12.1 Commencing with the first full calendar month in the
Term and during each calendar month in the Term thereafter, Licensee shall
provide ETC with a forecast specifying quantities of each available OEM Receiver
model that

*** Certain confidential portions of this exhibit were omitted by means of

portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission
subject to a request for confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24.b-2 under
the Securities Exchange Act.
<PAGE>

Licensee expects to purchase in each of the six calendar months following the
calendar month in which the forecast was provided to Licensee (the "OEM Forecast
Month"). With respect to the *** months of the initial forecast and the ***
month of each forecast submitted thereafter, the specified quantities for each
forecasted model of OEM Receiver may be increased or decreased by Licensee by
*** upon issuance of the next forecast. With respect to the *** month of each
forecast, the specified quantities for each forecasted model of OEM Receiver may
be increased or decreased by Licensee by *** upon issuance of the next forecast.
With respect to the *** month of each forecast, the specified quantities for
each forecasted model of OEM Receiver may be increased or decreased by Licensee
by *** upon issuance of the next forecast. With respect to the *** month of each
forecast, the specified quantities for each forecasted model of OEM Receiver may
be increased or decreased by Licensee by *** upon issuance of the next forecast.
Subject to the above, a new monthly forecast will always supercede completely
any previous forecasts. ETC shall order or inventory component parts sufficient
to meet the requirements specified in the *** months of each forecast. For
components whose purchase lead times exceed *** months, ETC will calculate
component quantity requirements corresponding to those components' lead times,
and approach Licensee for authorization to purchase those parts. Licensee may
then authorize purchase of some or all of the components beyond the *** month
time horizon, and will become liable for the cost of these components should
Licensee's future purchase orders not consume those authorized quantities. ETC
shall approach Licensee for re-authorization monthly for all such long lead time
components.

                  3.12.2 Licensee will use reasonable commercial efforts to
translate the *** months of the initial forecast and the ***month of each
forecast submitted thereafter into a purchase order, including requested
delivery dates, on or before the *** day of the applicable OEM Forecast Month.
Purchase orders of Licensee shall state only: (i) identity of goods; (ii)
quantity of goods; (iii) purchase price of goods; and (iv) requested ship date
of goods. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of a
purchase order and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement
shall prevail. ETC will make commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill all
valid purchase orders issued by Licensee. Any failure to confirm such a purchase
order shall not be deemed acceptance by ETC. ETC will inform Licensee of the
acceptance or rejection of a purchase order, in whole or in part, within a
reasonable time after receipt of the relevant purchase order. Should ETC reject
the applicable purchase order or should ETC's acceptance include different
delivery dates or product mix than in the Licensee purchase order, Licensee
shall be permitted to modify the purchase order in whole or in part and the
process shall be repeated until full agreement is reached. The quantities
specified for each model OEM Receiver in a purchase order issued by Licensee
under this Section 13.12.2 may be increased or decreased by Licensee by up to
25% without penalty.

                  3.12.3 Shipment. Shipments will be made in standard shipping
packages that have been approved by Licensee. All shipments will include a
packing slip which lists items contained in the shipment by part number,
descriptions (including the serial number and corresponding Smart Card number
and CA ID number for each OEM Receiver), quantity, and purchase order number. In
addition, ETC shall provide Licensee with an electronic file (in a format to be
mutually agreed by the parties), which lists the OEM Receivers contained in each
shipment by serial number and corresponding Smart Card number. Not later than
*** before the scheduled delivery dates, Licensee will notify ETC in writing of
the specific shipping destinations and the specific quantity of OEM Receivers to
be shipped to each destination, which Licensee agrees will be at least one full
truckload per destination or such other minimum quantity as the parties may
agree to from time to time in writing.

                  3.12.4 Shipment Dates; Quantities. ETC will use reasonable
commercial efforts to make shipments of OEM Receivers by the dates specified in
purchase orders accepted from Licensee; provided however, that ETC shall be
permitted to modify shipping dates due to circumstances beyond ETC's reasonable
control. All deliveries are contingent on ETC or its third party manufacturer
receiving timely shipment of necessary materials for production. Within five (5)
days after ETC becomes aware that it will not be able to make shipment of all or
a portion of the OEM Receivers by the date specified in a particular purchase
order accepted from Licensee, ETC shall give Licensee notice setting forth an
estimated delivery date. Licensee shall have the right but not the obligation to
reduce the total quantity of OEM Receivers requested in that purchase order by
an amount not to exceed the quantity of OEM Receivers for which ETC extends the
shipping date by more than thirty (30) days or fails to ship within thirty (30)
days of the shipping date specified in that purchase order, by means of a
written notice to ETC within five (5) days following written notice by ETC to
Licensee of such modification or failure to ship.

                  3.12.5 Partial Shipments. ETC reserves the right to ship OEM
Receivers in a single or by multiple deliveries. Except as expressly provided
herein, failure of ETC to ship on or about the date requested in any purchase
order shall not entitle Licensee to cancel or amend such order. ETC reserves the
right to ship all or a portion of any purchase order, including partial purchase
orders. Licensee shall pay for such portion of the shipment as is actually
shipped.

                  3.12.6 Sale of OEM Receivers by ETC.

                           (a) While, subject to Sections 3.12.2 and 3.12.4,
Licensee's obligation to honor purchase orders submitted to ETC is absolute, in
the event that Licensee breaches this obligation, then Licensee shall have the
option to pay to ETC, in advance, all costs ("OEM Retrofit Costs") anticipated
by ETC as reasonable and necessary to remove all Licensee marks from the OEM
Receivers covered by the

relevant purchase order(s) ("OEM Excess Inventory") and otherwise retrofit the
OEM Excess Inventory for sale as EchoStar or DISH brand product

                           (b) In the event that Licensee pays the OEM Retrofit
Costs to ETC, in advance and within five (5) business days after receipt of
ETC's invoice, ETC agrees to retrofit the units of OEM Excess Inventory, as
necessary, and use reasonable commercial efforts to resell the OEM Excess
Inventory, at prices determined by ETC, to any person or entity authorized by
ESC as a DISH Network distributor or retailer. In the event that ETC is unable,
through the exercise of reasonable commercial efforts, to resell any such OEM
Excess Inventory, ETC shall be entitled to exercise any other remedies available
to ETC under this Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise for breach of
Licensee's obligations regarding the relevant purchase order.

                           (c) In the event that (i) Licensee does not opt to
pay the OEM Retrofit Costs or (ii) Licensee opts to pay the Retrofit Costs but
does not actually pay the OEM Retrofit Costs to ETC, in advance and within five
(5) business days after receipt of such notice, then in addition to all other
remedies available to ETC under this Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise
ETC and/or any of its Affiliates shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to sell OEM Excess Inventory without removing the Licensee markings. Licensee
hereby grants to ETC and its Affiliates a license to the Licensee markings as
necessary for the marketing and sale of such OEM Excess Inventory under this
Section 3.12.6(c).

                           (d) For sales of OEM Excess Inventory by ETC or an
Affiliate hereunder, Licensee shall not be entitled to any Incentives under
Section 5 below or otherwise.

                           (e) This Section 3.12.6 shall not be construed as
creating an obligation upon ETC to mitigate its damages by removing Licensee
marks or otherwise retrofitting OEM Excess Inventory for sale as EchoStar or
DISH brand products, and its is hereby expressly agreed by the parties that ETC
has no such obligation, it being recognized by the parties that ETC and its
Affiliates would incur additional risk and cost in exercising such remedy
including but not limited to lost opportunity costs.

                  3.13.1. General Warranty.ETC warrants to Licensee that each

Licensee Receiver to the relevant Licensee Retailer *** charged to retailers in
the Territory by Echosphere for Receivers performing substantially similar
functions as the relevant Licensee Receiver, as established prior to the

inconsistency between the applicable charge back terms and conditions set forth
in ESC's standard incentivized retailer agreement and the applicable charge back
terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Business Rules, then the
applicable charge back terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Business
Rules shall control. The number of ETC Receivers calculated under Section
2.7.1(b) above shall be reduced on *** for each Licensee Receiver and Specialty
OEM Receiver for which Incentives are charged backed by ESC under this Section
5.3 (i.e., for each Licensee Receiver for which Incentives are charged back, the

hereto as Exhibit B, as such standard incentivized retailer agreement may change
at any time and from time to time in ESC's sole judgment upon written notice to
Licensee to cover any chargebacks occurring after the date of such expiration or
termination. During the sixty-day period following expiration of such chargeback
period, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith towards agreeing upon the
final amount owing from Licensee to the EchoStar Parties for chargebacks
hereunder and the final amount owing from the EchoStar Parties to Licensee for
Incentives hereunder. The net amount payable from Licensee to the EchoStar
Parties or from the EchoStar Parties to Licensee, as the case may be, shall be

(e) below for such claim, any settlement approved by Licensee pursuant to clause
(e) below for such claim, and any final award of damages or costs for such
claim.

                           (b) The foregoing clause (a) states the entire
liability of Licensee in connection with infringement of a Third Party Mark by
an OEM Receiver, ODU, or Accessories, and except as stated in that clause,
Licensee will not be liable for any loss or damage of whatever kind (including
in particular any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damage)
suffered by the ETC Group in respect of the infringement of any Third Party
Intellectual Property by an OEM Receiver, ODU or Accessory.

                           (c) Except in the event that ETC has, or would have
in the instance that Licensee were named in such action, an obligation of
indemnity to Licensee pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.2.2(a), Licensee
shall defend at its own expense any suit brought against the ETC Group insofar
as it is based upon a claim that any or all of the Licensee Receivers or ETC
Receivers directly infringe any third party patent, copyright, trade secret,
mask work or other intellectual or industrial property right ("Third Party
Intellectual Property") and shall indemnify ETC against reasonable attorney fees
incurred by ETC Group pursuant to clause (e) below for such claim, any
settlement approved by Licensee pursuant to clause (e) below for such claim, and
any final award of damages or costs for such claim.

                           (d) The foregoing clauses (a) and (c) state the
entire liability of Licensee in connection with infringement of Third Party
Intellectual Property by any Licensee Receiver and ETC Receiver, and except as
stated in those clauses, Licensee will not be liable for any loss or damage of
whatever kind (including in particular any incidental, indirect, special or
consequential damage) suffered by ETC or any other person in respect of the
infringement of any Third Party Intellectual Property by Licensee Receivers and
ETC Receivers.

                           (e) In the event of any claim for indemnification by
ETC Group under clauses (a) or (c) above, ETC Group shall be entitled to
representation by counsel of its own choosing. ETC Group shall have the right to

defend and indemnify ETC Group under clauses (a) and (c) above, but only as
regards ETC Group; provided, however, that ETC Group may not settle any such
claim without the prior written approval of Licensee (which approval Licensee
may withhold in its sole discretion); provided further, that in the event that
Licensee withholds its consent to the settlement of such a claim, then
Licensee's indemnification obligations under clauses (a) and (c) above will not
be subject to the limitation of liability set forth in clause (g) below and,
from that point forward, Licensee will have the right to the exclusive conduct
of and/or to settle all negotiations and litigation arising from that claim as
regards ETC Group.

                           (f) No cost or expense shall be incurred on behalf of
Licensee without its written consent.

                           (g) Licensee's liability under this Section 10.2.1
shall be limited to *** in the aggregate.

                  10.2.2 By ETC.

                           (a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein,
ETC, at its own expense, shall defend any suit brought against Licensee Group
insofar as it is based upon a claim that an OEM Receiver, ETC Receiver or
Licensee Receiver directly or indirectly infringes any Third Party Intellectual
Property (including, but not limited to, any claim by ***) and shall indemnify
Licensee against reasonable attorney fees incurred by Licensee Group pursuant to
clause (d) below for such claim, any settlement approved by ETC pursuant to
clause (d) below for such claim, and any final award of damages or costs for
such claim; except that ETC shall not be obligated to defend or indemnify
Licensee Group for any claim:

                                    (i) which arises from any trademarks, trade
names or service marks, including without limitation Third Party Marks, that are
affixed to OEM Receivers, Licensee Receivers, ODUs, or Accessories at Licensee's
request and that are not required to be affixed thereto by ETC;

                                    (ii) which is based in part upon a feature
added by Licensee where such claim could not have been brought but for the added
feature;

                                    (iii) alleging infringement of a combination
device comprised of a Licensee Receiver, ETC Receiver or OEM Receiver and any
other product not supplied or approved by ETC, except that ETC shall be liable
for any portion of the infringement which may be apportioned to the accused
Licensee Receiver, ETC Receiver or OEM Receiver, as the case may be, as built
pursuant to the ETC Receiver Specification if the relevant Receiver alone
infringes Third Party Intellectual Property;

                                    (iv) which could not have been brought
absent a deviation by Licensee from the ETC Receiver Specification;

                                    (v) which results from Licensee's design or
instruction for a given OEM Receiver where such design or instruction are not in
conformance with the ETC Receiver Specification; or

                                    (vi) which arises from Licensee's
modification of ETC Software unless expressly approved in writing by ETC.

                           (b) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein,
in the event that a OEM Receiver, ETC Receiver, or Licensee Receiver (which has
been built pursuant to the ETC Receiver Specification), is in such suit held to
constitute infringement, ETC at its own election and at its own expense may
either procure for Licensee the rights to continue the sale of the infringing
Receiver, or modify a such Receiver so that it becomes non-infringing.

                           (c) The foregoing clause (a) states the entire
liability of ETC in connection with infringement of Third Party Intellectual
Property by Licensee Receivers, ETC Receivers and OEM Receivers and except as
stated in that clause, ETC will not be liable for any loss or damage of whatever
kind (including in particular any incidental, indirect, special or consequential
damage) suffered by Licensee or any other person in respect of the infringement
of any Third Party Intellectual Property.

                           (d) In the event of any claim for indemnification by
Licensee Group under clause (a) above, Licensee Group shall be entitled to
representation by counsel of its own choosing. Licensee Group shall have the
right to the exclusive conduct of all negotiations and litigation arising from
any claim for which ETC is obligated to defend and indemnify Licensee Group
under clause (a) above, but only as regards Licensee Group; provided, however,
that Licensee Group may not settle any such claim without the prior written
approval of ETC (which approval ETC may withhold in its sole discretion);
provided further, that in the event that ETC withholds its consent to the
settlement of such a claim, then ETC's indemnification obligations under clause
(a) above will not be subject to the limitation of liability set forth in clause
(g) below and, from that point forward, ETC will have the right to the exclusive
conduct of and/or to settle all negotiations and litigation arising from that
claim as regards Licensee Group.

                           (e) Notwithstanding clause (d) above, ETC shall have
the right to choose counsel for Licensee Group and shall have the right to the
exclusive conduct of all negotiations and litigation arising from any claim for
which ETC is obligated to defend and indemnify Licensee Group under clause (a)
above and that is based on the electronic programming guide or ETC Software
provided to Licensee by ETC (provided

that such electronic program guide or ETC Software, as the case may be, has been
implemented in the relevant Licensee Receiver or ETC Receiver by Licensee
without modification).

                           (f) No cost or expense shall be incurred on behalf of
ETC without its written consent.

                           (g) ETC's liability under this Section 10.2.2 shall
be limited to *** in the aggregate, with the sole and limited exception of
claims for which ETC is obligated to defend and indemnify Licensee Group under
clause (a) above and that are based on the *** or ETC Software provided to
Licensee by ETC (*** and ETC Software is implemented in the relevant Licensee
Receiver or ETC Receiver by Licensee without modification), in which case ETC's
liability under this Section 10.2.2 shall not be subject to such limitation.

         10.3 Indemnification Procedure. The party seeking indemnification (the
"Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnification
is being sought (the "Indemnifying Party"). The Indemnified Party shall not make
any admission as to liability or agree to any settlement of or compromise any
claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The
Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party's request and expense, give
the Indemnifying Party all reasonable assistance in connection with those
negotiations and litigation, which assistance shall include, among other things,
the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party's request) the provision to the
Indemnifying Party of records and information as reasonably necessary, and
making employees available on a mutually convenient basis as reasonably
necessary. In the event that the Indemnifying Party has the right under Section
10.1 or 10.2 above to the exclusive conduct of all negotiations and litigation
arising from a particular claim, the indemnified party shall have the right to
participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense,
separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being
understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense.

11.      MISCELLANEOUS

         11.1 Taxes.

                  11.1.1 Withholding Tax Based On Income. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth to the contrary herein, any and all payments required to be
made by Licensee (payor) to the EchoStar Parties (payee) or the EchoStar Parties
(payor) to Licensee (payee) under this Agreement are exclusive of any tax, levy
or government charges ("Taxes") that may be assessed against the payor by any
jurisdiction other than required withholding taxes based on income. In the event
that, under the laws of any jurisdiction, the payor is required to withhold
Taxes based on income, then the payor

shall forthwith pay the amounts deducted or withheld from such payments to the
relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law. The payor
will furnish the payee with a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, and
the payment remitted by the payor to the payee will be net of this tax.

                  11.1.2 Gross Receipts, Excise and Other Taxes. In addition to
the prices Licensee pays for OEM Receivers, as provided above, Licensee is
responsible for gross receipts, excise and other taxes (excluding sales and use
tax, which are discussed below) applicable to the sale, use, transportation or
addition to value of the OEM Receivers. In addition to the prices ETC pays for
ETC Receivers, as provided above, ETC is responsible for gross receipts, excise
and other taxes (excluding sales and use tax, which are discussed below)
applicable to the sale, use, transportation or addition to value of the ETC
Receivers.

                                    (a) Licensee Purchases. Licensee shall pay
separately stated sales and/or use taxes billed by ETC on the sale of OEM
Receivers to Licensee, unless Licensee provides ETC with a resale certificate,
direct pay permit or other exemption documentation acceptable to the appropriate
taxing jurisdiction. ETC shall be responsible for remitting the sales and/or use
taxes collected from Licensee to the proper taxing jurisdictions. ETC reserves
the right to bill sales and/or use taxes at a later date if it is determined
that a resale certificate, direct pay permit or other exemption documentation
previously accepted by ETC is not honored by the taxing jurisdiction, or if an
assessment or adjustment is made under audit.

                                    (b) Licensee Sales. ETC shall pay separately
stated sales and/or use taxes billed by Licensee on the sale of ETC Receivers to
ETC, unless ETC provides Licensee with a resale certificate, direct pay permit
or other exemption documentation acceptable to Licensee and the appropriate
taxing jurisdiction. Licensee shall be responsible for remitting the sales
and/or use taxes collected from ETC to the proper taxing jurisdictions. Licensee
reserves the right to bill sales and/or use taxes at a later date if it is
determined that a resale certificate, direct pay permit or other exemption
documentation previously accepted by Licensee is not honored by the taxing
jurisdiction, or if an assessment or adjustment is made under audit.

         11.2 Remedies Cumulative. It is agreed that the rights and remedies
herein provided in case of default or breach of this Agreement are cumulative
and shall not affect in any manner any other remedies that any party may have by
reason of such default or breach. The exercise of any right or remedy herein
provided shall be without prejudice to the right to exercise any other right or
remedy provided herein, at law, or in equity.

         11.4 Independent Contractors. This Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby are not intended to create an agency, partnership or joint
venture relationship between the parties, or confer any benefit on any third
party. All agents and employees of each party shall be deemed to be that party
agents and employees exclusively, and the entire management, direction, and
control thereof shall be vested exclusively in such party. Each party, its
agents and employees, shall not be entitled to any benefits, privileges or
compensation given or extended by the other party to its employees.

         11.5 Amendment. Except as expressly provided to the contrary by this
Agreement, no waiver or modification of any of the terms or conditions of this
Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties.

         11.6 No Implied Waiver. Neither the waiver by a Party of a breach of or
a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure of a
Party, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this
Agreement or to exercise any right, remedy or privilege hereunder, shall
thereafter be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a
similar nature, or as a waiver of any such provisions, rights, remedies or
privileges hereunder. No failure or delay on the part of a Party in exercising
any right, power or privilege hereunder, and no course of dealing between the
Parties, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
No change, waiver or discharge hereof shall be valid unless in writing and
signed by an authorized representative of the Party against whom such change,
waiver or discharge is sought to be enforced. A waiver by any Party of any of
the covenants, conditions or contracts to be performed by the other or any
breach thereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach
thereof or of any other covenant, condition or contract herein contained.

         11.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire, final and
complete understanding between the parties hereto relevant to the subject matter
of this Agreement, and it supersedes and replaces all previous understandings or
agreements, written, oral, or implied, relevant to the subject matter of this
Agreement made or existing before the date of this Agreement, including without
limitation the Memorandum OEM Manufacturing Agreement dated January 9, 2002, by
and among ESC, ETC and Licensee (the "MOEMMA"), but excluding any non-disclosure
agreements previously

execute between any or all of the parties hereto, which shall remain in full
force and effect. Except as expressly provided by this Agreement, no waiver or
modification of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall be
effective unless in writing and signed by both parties.

         11.8 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other party
for nonperformance or delay in performance of any of its obligations under this
Agreement due to causes reasonably beyond its control or which cause makes
performance a commercial impracticability, including act of God, fire,
explosion, flood, windstorm, earthquake, trade embargoes, strikes, labor
troubles or other industrial disturbances, accidents, governmental regulations,
riots, and insurrections ("Force Majeure"). Upon the occurrence of a Force
Majeure condition, the affected party shall immediately notify the other party
with as much detail as possible and shall promptly inform the other party of any
further developments. Immediately after the Force Majeure event is removed or
abates, the affected party shall perform such obligations with all due speed.
Neither party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement if a delay or other
breach is caused by a Force Majeure event. If a Force Majeure event is expected
to continue for more than three (3) months, any party may terminate this
Agreement by providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other
parties. Such termination shall be without any continuing liabilities or
obligations on the part of one party to the other of any kind except as
expressly set forth herein.

         11.9 Severability. If any term or provision herein, or the application
thereof to any person, entity, or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid
or unenforceable in any pertinent jurisdiction, the remainder hereof shall not
be affected thereby but shall be valid and enforceable as if the invalid term or
provision were not a part hereof.

         11.10 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement
are included for convenience and reference only and shall not be held to expand,
modify, amplify or aid in the interpretation, construction or meaning of this
Agreement.

         11.11 Assignment. ETC and ESC may assign their respective rights and
delegate their respective duties under this Agreement in whole or in part at any
time; provided that the assignee is at least as creditworthy on such date of
assignment as the EchoStar Parties are on the date first set forth above. Except
as otherwise set forth to the contrary herein, Licensee may not assign any
rights or delegate any duties under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of ETC and ESC, which consent may be withheld in their sole judgment.
Any attempt to do so without such consent shall be void.

         11.12 Compliance with Law. The parties shall comply with, and agree
that this Agreement is subject to, all applicable federal, state, and local
laws, rules and
