Extra Space Storage L.P.

 

RE:          Retention Bonus

 

Dear Karl:

 

To incentivize you to remain with and committed to the success of Extra Space Storage Inc., Extra Space Storage L.P. and Extra Space Management Inc. (collectively the “Company”), Extra Space Management Inc. will pay you a retention bonus of $1,200,000 (the “Retention Bonus”) if you are actively employed by the Company on a full-time basis on December 31, 2013 (the “Payment Date”), or if your employment is terminated prior to the Payment Date for one of the following reasons: (A) by the Company other than for Cause, or (B) by you for Good Reason (each of these events being a “Qualifying Termination”).

 

You will not receive any portion of the Retention Bonus if prior to the Payment Date your employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination.  However, in the event of your death prior to December 31, 2013, but while you remain employed by the Company, the Company will pay your estate $600,000 in cash in lieu of the Retention Bonus.

 

The Company will pay the Retention Bonus in a lump sum on the earlier of the Payment Date or, if such termination is as a result of a Qualifying Termination, as part of your final paycheck.   The Retention Bonus will be paid in cash.  However, you may elect to receive the Retention Bonus in the form of Extra Space Storage Inc. common stock (“ESSI Shares”) with a fair market value equal to the Retention Bonus; provided ESSI Shares are publicly traded on the date of payment and that the Company may issue the ESSI Shares without obtaining Shareholder approval.  An election to receive the Retention Bonus in the form of ESSI Shares may be made at any time prior to payment, provided such election is made during a period in which you are not prohibited from trading in ESSI Shares under the Company’s insider trading policy, or otherwise prohibited by law from trading in ESSI Shares.  The number of ESSI Shares payable shall be determined by dividing $1,200,000, by the average closing price of the ESSI Shares for the ten trading days ending immediately prior to the date on which payment of the Retention Bonus is due, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

 

 

All payments due hereunder shall be less required tax withholdings.  If you elect to receive your Retention Bonus in the form of ESSI Shares, then the Company shall withhold ESSI Shares with a fair market value (based on the average closing price of an ESSI Share for the ten trading days ending immediately prior to the payment date) equal to the value of the taxes to be withheld, rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

This letter does not confer upon you any right to continue in the employment of the Company for any period or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company or you to terminate your employment at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.

 

For purposes of this agreement the following definitions shall apply:

 

“Cause” shall mean:  (1) your commission of and indictment for, or formal admission to a felony, a crime of moral turpitude, dishonesty, breach of trust or unethical business conduct, or any crime involving the Company; (2) in connection with the performance of your duties to the Company, or otherwise to the material and demonstrable detriment of the Company, your engaging in willful misconduct, willful or gross neglect, fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement; (3) repeated failure to adhere to the directions of the Board of Directors of the Company, to the Company’s policies and practices or to devote substantially all of your business time and efforts to the Company; (4) willful and continued failure to substantially perform your duties properly assigned to you (other than any such failure resulting from disability) after demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Company specifically identifying the manner in which the Company believes you have not substantially performed such duties; (5) violation of any restrictive covenants regarding noncompetition, nonsolicitation or confidential information to which you are subject as an employee of the Company; (6) habitual absenteeism; or (7) your failure to perform the duties and responsibilities of your position in a competent and workman like manner, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole discretion.  Provided that the Company shall not be permitted to terminate you for Cause, except after delivering written notice to you of such events constituting Cause, with such notice being delivered at any time with respect to events under items (1), (2) or (5) above and no more than 30 days following the occurrence of any of the events set forth in items (3), (4), (6) or (7) above.  No Cause termination shall be effective unless you have been provided with the opportunity (with the counsel of your choice) to contest the determination at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

“Disability” shall mean your qualification for benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan.

 

“Good Reason” shall mean:  (i) the material reduction of your authority, duties and responsibilities, or the assignment to you of duties materially inconsistent with your position or positions with the Company; (ii) a material reduction in your annual salary; or (iii) the Company requests that you relocate your employment with the Company to another work site that is more than fifty (50) miles from Salt Lake City, Utah.  Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist unless (A) you give the Company written notice of the Good Reason event no later than 30 days after the time at which the event or condition purportedly giving rise to Good Reason

first occurs or arises and (B) the Company shall have 30 days from the date such notice is given to cure such event or condition and, if the Company does so, such event or condition shall not constitute Good Reason.

 

Please indicate your acceptance of the provisions of this agreement by signing the enclosed copy of this letter agreement and returning it to my attention.

2.3.                Waiver of Cal. Civ. Code Sec. 1542.         Effective upon receipt by TiVo of the Initial Payment described in Section 5.1 below, each Party, on behalf of itself and its Current Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably and forever waives all rights it and they may have arising under California Civil Code Section 1542 (or any analogous requirement of law) with respect to the foregoing releases.  Each Party, on behalf of itself and its Current Subsidiaries, understands that Section 1542 provides that:

 

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

 

Each Party, on behalf of itself and its Current Subsidiaries, acknowledges that it has been fully informed by its counsel concerning the effect and import of this Agreement under California Civil Code Section 1542 and other requirements of law.

 

2.4.                      Dismissal of Pending Litigations.

 

(a)         Motions and Proposed Orders.  Concurrently with receipt by TiVo of the Initial Payment described in Section 5.1 below, the Parties shall cause to be completed, executed and delivered to the other Party the applicable joint motions (“Dismissal Motions”) requesting that (i) the Pending Litigations be dismissed with prejudice, (ii) all orders and judgments that award the recovery of money (including sanctions, damages and interest) be modified to reflect full payment and satisfaction pursuant this Agreement, and (iii) all injunctions that permanently restrain, enjoin or compel any action by the EchoStar Parties or their Subsidiaries be dissolved and Appeal Bond No. 08956031 released (“Proposed Orders”), in each case in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A through H and will cause their respective counsel to file the Dismissal Motions and Proposed Orders within two (2) court days after the Effective Date.  The Parties hereby acknowledge the possibility that the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals may act upon the motion to dismiss EchoStar’s pending appeal after the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas acts upon various motions to dismiss the cases pending therein.  In such event, each Party hereby waives any objection to the validity, enforceability, or impact on it or any other entity of the dismissals filed in the U.S. District Court arising from such circumstance.  Further, in the event of such circumstance, the Parties shall engage in the process described in Section

 

12

 

2.4(b) below.  The Parties shall proceed with any and all additional procedures needed to dismiss with prejudice the Pending Litigations, dissolve all such injunctions and release such bond.

 

(b)         Corrective Actions. If the Proposed Orders are not entered in substantially unmodified form and/or if Appeal Bond No. 08956031 is not promptly and fully released and the security thereunder returned to EchoStar, the Parties will cooperate and take such other actions as are necessary to permit each Party to realize the material benefits originally intended under this Section 2.4 (including a covenant by TiVo not to enforce any injunction that permanently restrains, enjoins or compels any action by the EchoStar Parties or their Subsidiaries arising from the Pending Litigation) without incurring material additional obligations or liabilities (the “Corrective Actions”).  The Parties shall have thirty (30) days from entry of orders (unless in substantially unmodified form), or thirty-five (35) days from submission if such orders have not been entered, to take Corrective Actions.  If the Parties do not agree upon the Corrective Actions to be taken within such thirty (30) day period, then either TiVo or the EchoStar Parties may submit the dispute to expedited binding baseball arbitration pursuant to Section 10 for resolution within thirty (30) days thereafter, where the arbitrator would be limited to selecting TiVo’s or the EchoStar Parties’ proposals for Corrective Actions based upon the standard articulated above.  During such arbitration, the arbitrator will not have the authority to resolve any other dispute arising under this Agreement unless the Parties expressly agree otherwise in writing.  During all periods of time described above relating to the Corrective Actions, the Parties shall not file any suit, or take any other action, that would have been precluded by the unmodified orders.

 

2.5.                                                                                                                No Admission.  This Agreement is entered into in order to compromise and settle disputed claims, without any acquiescence on the part of any Party as to the merit of any claim, defense, affirmative defense, counterclaim, liabilities, or damages related to any patent rights or the Pending Litigations.  Neither this Agreement nor any part thereof shall be, or be used as, an admission of infringement or liability by anyone, at any time, for any purpose.

 

2.6.                                                                                                                Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.  Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and attorneys’ fees in connection with the Pending Litigations and the negotiation of this Agreement.

terminate on the date such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of a Party.

Each of payments set forth in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the above table (in the amount of $33,333,333.33 each), are hereinafter referred to as an “Installment Payment” and collectively as the “Installment Payments”.  Invoices will be deemed received if sent as set forth in Exhibit M.

 

5.2.                                                                                                                      Payments; Taxes.

 

(a)         Each payment from any EchoStar Party to TiVo under this Agreement, including the Fee payments and any Acquisition Fee payments, shall be made in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account designated in writing by TiVo in Exhibit L.

 

(b)         All Fee payments shall be remitted so that they are received by TiVo within the time periods and in the amounts set forth in the schedule set forth in Section 5.1.  The obligation of the EchoStar Parties to remit the Fee payments to TiVo in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in Section 5.1 shall be absolute, unconditional, noncontingent, noncancellable and nonrefundable, and, subject to Section 5.2(c), shall not be subject to any abatement, set-off, claim, counterclaim, adjustment, reduction or defense for any reason, including, but not limited to, any claims that TiVo failed to perform under this Agreement, termination or breach of this Agreement, or the use or non-use by either DISH or EchoStar of the license under Section 3.1 or rights granted under Section 4 of this Agreement.  DISH and EchoStar shall each be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all Fees in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in Section 5.1.

 

(c)          Fees and other amounts to be paid by the EchoStar Parties pursuant to this Section 5 do not include any Taxes, duties or charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, local or other governmental entity, but the EchoStar Parties may deduct applicable withholding taxes, if any, remitted to any such tax authority.  The EchoStar Parties shall in such case provide TiVo with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate tax authority, or, if such certificates are not available, other documentation evidencing such payment.  The EchoStar Parties shall cooperate with TiVo and take all actions reasonably necessary in order to (i) secure a reduction or elimination of such taxes, or (b) support any claim made by TiVo to any appropriate tax authorities for income tax credits based on the EchoStar Party’s withholding of such taxes.  All payments under this Agreement will be made by and between either DISH or EchoStar or their U.S. based designee and TiVo or TiVo’s U.S. based designee.  To provide clear, coordinated and consistent treatment of this settlement for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, DISH, EchoStar and TiVo agree that payments under the settlement should be treated for tax purposes as royalty income (or expense) for the licensed use of technology.

 

5.3.                Acquisition of Additional Subscribers.

 

(a)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any Subscriber Acquisition Transaction, if the cumulative, aggregate number of Additional

 

22

 

Subscribers generated by all Subscriber Acquisition Transactions exceeds [*], then any Excluded New Subscriber (and all products and services provided to or used by or for such Excluded New Subscriber) shall be excluded from the rights and licenses granted hereunder, unless DISH elects to make an additional payment with respect to such Excluded New Subscriber as set forth in this Section 5.3(a).  The amount of such additional payment will be determined pursuant to an arm’s-length negotiation between TiVo and DISH or, if TiVo and DISH are unable to reach an agreement, calculated by multiplying [*] the total number of such Excluded New Subscribers divided by [*] and by multiplying by [*] divided by [*] (“Acquisition Fee”).

 

(b)         If DISH wishes to avail itself of the benefits of Section 5.3(a) with respect to a particular Subscriber Acquisition Transaction, DISH must promptly notify TiVo of any Subscriber Acquisition Transaction (including the expected number of Additional Subscribers) within [*] after the date of the closing thereof and shall track and keep accurate records of all subscribers of the MVPD involved in such Subscriber Acquisition Transaction, including all Additional Subscribers generated by such Subscriber Acquisition Transaction and the number of Excluded New Subscribers.  In order to extend the license granted to DISH to the Excluded New Subscribers from any Subscriber Acquisition Transaction, DISH must provide notice to TiVo of its election to pay the additional amounts set forth in 5.3(a) above within [*] after the closing of the Subscriber Acquisition Transaction.  After receiving such notice of DISH’s election to pay the Acquisition Fee for the Excluded New Subscribers, DISH shall promptly provide TiVo with the total number of Additional Subscribers and Excluded New Subscribers and additional information for use in calculating the Acquisition Fee.  DISH shall pay the Acquisition Fee within [*] days after notice of its election.  If there are any additional Excluded New Subscribers after such payment has been made, DISH will promptly pay for such additional Excluded New Subscribers at the same rate as used to determine the Acquisition Fee in Section 5.3(a) above within [*] days after the end of each subsequent month during which any Excluded New Subscribers are added.  DISH will accompany each payment with a report of the number of Additional Subscribers and Excluded New Subscribers, broken down by Subscriber Acquisition Transaction and MVPD Service, and the number of Excluded New Subscribers for which the additional amounts have been paid, with such information disclosed subject to Section 8.2.

 

(c)          TiVo shall have the right, which may be exercised only once per calendar year, to have the applicable records of DISH and its Subsidiaries audited by a nationally recognized independent auditor for the purpose of verifying the reports, and payments under this Section 5.3.  The relevant accounting records (including electronic versions) will be made available to the auditor at the audited Party’s principal accounting site. DISH shall promptly pay TiVo for any shortfall uncovered in the audit along with interest as set forth in Section 5.4 below.  This provision will survive this Agreement for a period of [*] years after each respective accounting period.  Should the audit discover any errors or omissions resulting in an underpayment by DISH of more than [*] of the amount due with respect to any Subscriber Acquisition Transaction, DISH shall reimburse TiVo for the costs of such audit.

 

5.4.                                                                                                                Breach of Payment Obligation.  If the Initial Payment is not made in full by the EchoStar Parties to TiVo by the first business day after the Effective Date, TiVo shall

have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and any releases, dismissal, licenses, covenants or other rights granted to any of the EchoStar Parties or any of their Subsidiaries under this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio.  If any Installment Payment is not made in full by DISH to TiVo on the due date, and has not been paid in full by the EchoStar Parties within [*] after notice of such breach from TiVo, [*].  In addition to all other sums payable hereunder, the EchoStar Parties shall pay, and be jointly and severally liable for, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by TiVo, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with collection and other enforcement proceeding resulting therefrom.  The foregoing obligation in no way limits any other rights or remedies available to TiVo, provided that, so long as TiVo receives payment in full of the Remaining Installment Payments and interest and expenses as set forth in this Section 5.4 above (whether through exercise of the [*] or otherwise) within [*] after the date of TiVo’s notice of breach, then TiVo may not terminate the licenses [*] hereunder.

 

5.5.                            [*].

 

Section 6.  TERM AND TERMINATION

 

6.1.                                                                                                                                  Term.

In such event, no releases, dismissal, licenses, covenants or other rights shall be granted to any of the EchoStar Parties or any of their Subsidiaries under this Agreement and all such rights shall be null and void ab initio.

 

(b)         If the EchoStar Parties breach the obligation to make any Installment Payment under Section 5.1, and do not cure by making such payment in full within fifteen (15) days after notice of such breach from TiVo (including late charges and expenses under Section 5.4 above), then TiVo shall be entitled to the remedies available under [*].  If, after [*] after notice of such breach from TiVo, TiVo has not received in full the Installment Payments and any other payments due under Section 5.4 from the EchoStar Parties, only then will TiVo have the right to terminate the rights and licenses granted to the EchoStar Parties and their Subsidiaries under this Agreement, other than those set forth in Section 2 (Releases and Settlement).  In such event, licenses and other rights granted to the EchoStar Parties and their Subsidiaries in Section 3 (“Licenses”) [*] shall immediately terminate.  The rights and licenses granted to TiVo and its Subsidiaries in Section 2 (Releases and Settlement), Section 3 (“Licenses”) and the payment and other obligations of the EchoStar Parties under Section 5 (“Payment”) shall survive.

 

(c)          After payment by DISH to TiVo of the full amount of the Fee under Section 5.1, this Agreement shall not be terminated by TiVo for any reason prior to the end of the Term, provided, however, that TiVo shall have the right to terminate the licenses [*]. Neither DISH nor

Section 5 (“Payment”) and Section 11 (“General”) shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.  Upon receipt by TiVo of the Initial Payment described in Section 5.1, Section 2 (“Releases and Settlement”) shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall be liable for the disclosure of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or such confidential information (a) pursuant to judicial action or decree, any requirement of any government or any agency or department thereof having jurisdiction over such Party, provided that in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such Party such disclosure is required and such Party to the extent reasonably practical shall have given the other Parties notice prior to such disclosure sufficient to allow the other Parties to seek a protective order; (b) for the purposes of disclosure in connection with the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other filings, reports or disclosures that may be required under applicable laws or regulations or stock exchange rules, (c) in confidence, to legal counsel; (d) to its accountants, provided such disclosure is made subject to a nondisclosure agreement that is at least as protective of the other Parties’ rights as this Section 8.2; (e) to a Third Party’s outside counsel in connection with a potential merger, acquisition or financing by, of or with the Party, or any other potential Change of Control of a Party, provided that such disclosure shall (i) be on a strictly limited, need-to-know basis, (ii) when such transaction is reasonably certain to take place, and (iii) on terms applicable to the most confidential information disclosed by such Party in connection with such transaction provided such terms are at least as restrictive as set forth herein; (f) as reasonably required in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any rights hereunder; or (g) to the extent such terms and conditions have become generally known or available to the public other than through the breach of this Section 8.2 by the disclosing Party.  The provisions of this Section 8.2 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement (for any reason or no reason whatsoever) indefinitely.

9.1.                                      Change of Control.  If a Party (the “Acquired Party”) undergoes a Change of Control involving a Third Party (the “Acquirer”), then each of the following subsections shall apply:

 

(a)   The Acquired Party shall give notice within thirty (30) days after the closing of such Acquisition to the other Party (“Non-Acquired Party”).  For purposes of this Section 9.1, the Non-Acquired Party means TiVo if the Acquired Party is any EchoStar Party and means the EchoStar Parties if the Acquired Party is TiVo.

 

(b)   Upon a Change of Control of DISH where the Acquirer [*], the DISH Network Services shall be limited to those DISH Network Services being offered by DISH prior to and as of the closing of such Change of Control (“Existing DISH Network Services”) and the licenses granted to the EchoStar Parties in Section 3 (“Licenses”) [*].  [*]   If Subscriber Acquisition Transactions generate more than [*] Additional Subscribers cumulatively for DISH Network Services, [*].

 

(c)   If there is any Change of Control of EchoStar where the Acquirer is an MVPD or an Affiliate of an MVPD (in each case other than DISH) or if EchoStar or any of its Affiliate acquires an MVPD (other than DISH, the [*] Service or [*] Service) or launches or [*], then [*].  If there is a Change of Control of EchoStar where the Acquirer is a vendor of DVRs or DVR Technology or its Affiliate (“DVR Vendor”), then [*].

 

(d)   If TiVo assigns a TiVo Patent to a Third Party who is not bound to [*] with respect to such TiVo Patent upon such assignment, then [*]; provided, however, [*].

 

(e)   Except as otherwise expressly set forth above in this Section 9.1, the licenses and covenants granted to each Party and its Subsidiaries (and permitted successors and permitted assigns) will remain in effect after such Change of Control in accordance with this Agreement for the remainder of the Term of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.  ARBITRATION

 

10.1.        Arbitration Procedures.  For any dispute or disagreement that is permitted or required to be arbitrated by the express terms of this Agreement, the Parties agree to proceed as follows:

 

(a)   The Parties will select an independent Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services (“JAMS”) arbitrator who (i) is a former federal judge, (ii) has not been involved previously in overseeing or handling prior litigation or any other dispute involving the Parties, and (iii) is available to start the arbitration hearing within thirty (30) days (the “Selection Criteria”).  If, for whatever reason, the Parties cannot mutually agree on an independent arbitrator within five (5) days of either Party electing arbitration, JAMS shall appoint an independent arbitrator who meets the Selection Criteria.

 

[*]Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

(b)   The arbitration will be conducted under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures except as modified by any express procedures set forth in this Agreement for such arbitration.

 

(c)   It is the intention of the Parties to proceed with any arbitration with the utmost expedition and in accordance with the schedule set forth in the relevant Section of this Agreement.  If any deadline set forth in this Agreement is not achieved, the arbitrator, once selected, may make only such adjustments to the schedule as he or she may deem necessary, which must be consistent with the intent of the Parties to complete the arbitration on an expedited basis.

 

(d)   Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, any arbitration proceeding under this Section 10 will take place in the JAMS offices in San Francisco.

 

(e)   The Parties will be responsible for their own costs for any such arbitration and shall each pay one half of the third party fees and costs of arbitration under this Section 10.

Any assignment of this Agreement by a Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties shall be null and void.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such other Parties’ consent shall not be required for any assignment to a Person that succeeds to all or substantially all of such Party’s business and assets, provided that: (i) [*]; (ii) the assigning Party shall notify the other Parties in writing of such assignment; and (iii) the assignee shall agree in writing (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including all releases (solely with respect to claims, counterclaims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, liabilities, losses, payments, obligations, costs, and expenses that the assigning Party and its Subsidiaries had prior to such assignment that are released under Section 2), licenses, covenants, and other rights granted to the other Party and its Subsidiaries under this Agreement.  [*] This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

 

11.5.                                    Further Assurances.  Each Party agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions, and to execute, deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments, and to obtain such consents, as may be reasonably required or requested in order to effectuate fully the purposes, terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, with respect to each of DISH and EchoStar, all actions, documents, instruments and consents as may reasonably be requested by TiVo to make fully effective [*]to make fully effective the licenses, releases, [*]  and other rights and protections contemplated under Sections 3.1 and 7.1, including as to an assignee of the TiVo Patents with respect to the assigned TiVo Patents.

 

11.6.                                    Waiver.  A waiver, express or implied, of any right under this Agreement or of any failure to perform or breach hereof shall not constitute or be deemed to be a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other failure to perform or breach hereof, whether of the same, or a similar or dissimilar nature thereto.  Nothing in this Agreement or the Dismissals shall be interpreted as a waiver of, and each Party, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, reserves the right to challenge on any basis the use of any of Patent or Patent applications as prior art to invalidate claims of other Patents.

 

11.7.                                    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or is so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and, in such event, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the Parties within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decision.

 

11.8.                                    Bankruptcy.  All licenses, immunities, releases, [*] and covenants

with respect to Patents granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights of  “intellectual property” and rights to “intellectual property” under agreements supplementary thereto as “intellectual property” is defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Licenses, immunities, releases, [*] and covenants with respect to Canadian Patents granted under or pursuant to this Agreement additionally are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. B-3, s. 65.11(7) and the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36, s. 32(6) “(Canadian Bankruptcy Protections”), rights to use intellectual property granted to a party to an agreement.  The Parties agree that any Party, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement and as beneficiary of such agreements supplementary thereto, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code in the event of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of any kind or nature.  Each Party acknowledges that if another Party, as a debtor in possession, or a trustee-in-bankruptcy for such Party, in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, rejects this Agreement, the other Parties and their Subsidiaries may elect to retain their rights under this Agreement as provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code and, with respect to Canadian Patents, maintain them as provided by the Canadian Bankruptcy Protections.  Each Party irrevocably waives all arguments and defenses arising under 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1) or successor provisions to the effect that applicable law excuses such Party from accepting performance from or rendering performance to an entity other than the debtor or debtor in possession as a basis for opposing assumption of this Agreement in a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent that such consent is required under 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1) or any successor statute, provided that any Change of Control shall remain subject to Section 9 above and provided further that, with respect to any proceeding under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of the EchoStar Parties, solely if TiVo has received full payment of the Fee set forth in Section 5.1.

 

11.9.                                    Cumulative Remedies.  The rights and remedies of the Parties as set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies now or hereafter provided by law or at equity.

 

11.10.                                  Captions and Headings.  The captions and headings used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only, do not form a part of this Agreement, and shall not be used in any way to construe or interpret this Agreement.

 

11.11.                                  Construction.  This Agreement has been negotiated by the Parties and shall be interpreted fairly in accordance with its terms and without any construction in favor of or against any Party.

 

11.12.                                  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed (including by facsimile signature or by electronic transmission of scanned signature pages) in one or more counterparts with the same effect as if the Parties had signed the same document.  Each counterpart so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one agreement.

11.13.                                  Indemnity.

 

(a)   TiVo, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the EchoStar Parties and their respective Subsidiaries from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) they may suffer as the result of third-party claims, demands, and actions arising out of (i) an Assertion of a claim of infringement of a TiVo Patent by any Subsidiary of TiVo that is not bound to this Agreement for any reason which Assertion would be precluded by the releases, licenses, [*] or covenants hereunder if such Subsidiary were bound, or [*].

 

(b)   The EchoStar Parties, on behalf of themselves and their respective Subsidiaries, hereby agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TiVo, its Subsidiaries from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) they may suffer as the result of third-party claims, demands, and actions arising out of (i) an Assertion of a claim of infringement of an EchoStar Patent by any Subsidiary of an EchoStar Party that is not bound to this Agreement for any reason which Assertion would be precluded by the releases, licenses, or covenants hereunder if such Subsidiary were bound, or [*].

 

(c)   Each of the foregoing agreements to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless is conditioned on the indemnitee (i) providing prompt written notice of any claim giving rise to an indemnification obligation hereunder, (ii) permitting the indemnitor to assume full responsibility to investigate, prepare for, and defend against any such claim, (iii) providing reasonable assistance in the defense of such claim at the indemnitor’s reasonable expense, and (iv) not compromising or settling such claim without the indemnitor’s advance written consent.  If the Parties cannot agree as to the application of this Section 11.13 to any particular third-party claim, demand, or action, each may conduct separate defenses of the claim, demand, or action and each Party reserves the right to claim indemnification from the other in accordance with this Section 11.13 upon the resolution of the underlying claim, demand, or action.

 

11.14.                                  Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This Agreement, including the Exhibit(s) attached hereto which are incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the entire understanding and only agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, representations, term sheets, agreements, and understandings, written or oral, that the Parties may have reached with respect to the subject matter hereof.  No agreements altering or supplementing the terms hereof may be made except by means of a written document signed by the duly authorized representatives of each of the Parties hereto.

On April 29, 2011, Plaintiff-Appellee TiVo Inc. and Defendants-Appellants EchoStar Corporation, EchoStar DBS Corporation, EchoStar Technologies Corporation, Echosphere Limited Liability Company, EchoStar Satellite LLC, and DISH Network Corporation executed a confidential settlement agreement addressing a number of matters previously contested between them, including the matters that were at issue in this appeal.  In light of that agreement, both parties now wish to immediately terminate any further appellate proceedings in this case and return promptly to the district court for the entry of appropriate orders similarly terminating further proceedings in that court.  Therefore, pursuant to Rule 42(b) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, the parties stipulate and jointly move to dismiss the above-captioned appeal.  Each party is to bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees pursuant to the agreement, and all fees due to the Clerk have been paid.

JOINT PRESS RELEASE

 

TIVO, DISH NETWORK AND ECHOSTAR ANNOUNCE HALF-BILLION DOLLAR SETTLEMENT OF PATENT LITIGATION

 

ALVISO, Calif., and ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — May 2, 2011 — TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO), DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH), and EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ: SATS) announced today that they have settled all of their ongoing patent litigation.

 

Under the terms of the settlement, DISH Network and EchoStar agreed to pay TiVo $500 million, including an initial payment of $300 million with the remaining $200 million distributed in six equal annual installments between 2012 and 2017.  TiVo, DISH Network and EchoStar agreed to dismiss all pending litigation between the companies with prejudice and to dissolve all injunctions against DISH Network and EchoStar.

 

The parties also granted certain patent licenses to each other.  TiVo granted DISH Network a license under its Time Warp patent (US Pat. No. 6,233,389) and certain related patents, for the remaining life of those patents.  TiVo also granted EchoStar a license under the ‘389 patent and certain related patents, for the remaining life of those patents, to design and make certain DVR-enabled products solely for DISH Network and two international customers.  EchoStar granted TiVo a license under certain DVR-related patents for TiVo-branded, co-branded and ingredient-branded products.

 

“We have tremendous respect for TiVo’s management, and have always said that regardless of the outcome of the case, there were many ways that we could work together with TiVo,” said Charlie Ergen, Chairman and CEO of DISH Network. “The results of TiVo’s formidable intellectual property enforcement program speak for themselves, and consequently, we are pleased to put this litigation behind us and move forward.  Additionally, we believe that our agreement with TiVo provides us a competitive advantage as one of the few multichannel operators with rights to operate under TiVo’s Time Warp patent, which ultimately will allow us to enhance the performance of our award-winning DVRs.  We look forward to continuing to offer DISH Network customers the most choices in video service.”

 

“We are extremely pleased to reach an agreement with DISH Network and EchoStar which recognizes the value of our intellectual property,” said Tom Rogers, president and CEO of TiVo. “The compensation from this settlement, including the resulting reduction in legal expenditures, puts TiVo in an enviable financial and strategic position. This settlement, which brings the total compensation paid by DISH Network for use of TiVo’s ‘389 patent family to over $600 million, demonstrates the significant return afforded to our shareholders by diligent enforcement of TiVo’s intellectual property rights.  Those efforts will aggressively continue with other parties.”

 

In addition, TiVo will play a role in helping DISH Network promote the Blockbuster digital video service.  Said Ergen, “We are excited to work with TiVo to help develop our Blockbuster

video service.  Resolving the patent infringement case allows us to further engage with TiVo on a variety of exciting strategic initiatives, like Blockbuster, where we are uniquely positioned to collaborate.”

CONSENT COMPLAINT

 

Plaintiff TiVo Inc. (“TiVo”) and Defendants EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar”) and DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”) (collectively the “Parties”), through their respective counsel, hereby file this Consent Complaint. In support the parties state as follows:

 

1.             Plaintiff TiVo Inc. (“TiVo”) is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 2160 Gold Street, PO Box 2160, Alviso, CA 95002, and is duly authorized to do business in the state of Colorado.

 

2.             Defendant EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar”) is a Nevada corporation with its principal place of business at 100 Inverness Terrace East, Englewood, Colorado 80112.  

 

 

Defendant DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”) is a Nevada corporation with its principal place of business at 9601 South Meridian Boulevard, Englewood, Colorado 80112.

 

3.             The Parties have been involved in litigation concerning, among other things, the alleged infringement by DISH, EchoStar, and certain of their respective subsidiaries of United States Patent No. 6,233,389, and the alleged infringement by TiVo and Humax USA, Inc. of United States Patent Nos. 5,774,186, 6,529,685, 6,208,804, and 6,173,112, such claims being considered in TiVo Inc. v. EchoStar Comm. Corp., Case No. 2-04cv01 DF, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, DISH Network Corp. v. TiVo Inc., Case No. 2-09cv0171 DF, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and EchoStar Tech. Corp. v. TiVo Inc., Case No. 5-05cv081 DF, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and in appeals therefrom (collectively, the “Pending Litigations”).

 

4.             On September 8, 2006, judgment was entered against EchoStar and DISH (collectively the “EchoStar Parties”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas for willful infringement of the ‘389 patent, and TiVo was awarded damages and a permanent injunction against further infringement of this patent by EchoStar and DISH.  On June 2, 2009, EchoStar and DISH were found in contempt for violating the permanent injunction and on September 4, 2009, sanctions were awarded against EchoStar and DISH.  On April 20, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, sitting en banc, affirmed in part the award of sanctions against DISH and EchoStar, vacated in part, and remanded to the district court.  Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties agreed to move to dismiss the appeal.

 

5.             The Parties wishing to avoid the expense of further litigation, the Parties executed on April 29, 2011 a Confidential Settlement and Patent License Agreement (the “Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Parties agreed to dismiss the Pending Litigations with prejudice, enter a [*] with respect to certain potential patent litigation, and grant certain releases and certain licenses with respect to certain patents.

 

6.             In the Agreement, the EchoStar Parties agreed to pay TiVo in the amount of Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000) (the “Fee”).  As set forth in Section 5.1 of the Agreement, the EchoStar Parties agreed that they would pay to TiVo an Initial Payment of three hundred million dollars and two cents ($300,000,000.02) within one business day after the Effective Date, followed by six annual payments of thirty three million, three hundred and thirty three thousand, three hundred and thirty three dollars and thirty three cents ($33,333,333.33) (each an “Installment Payment”), for a total sum of Installment Payments totaling two hundred million dollars ($200,000,000.00) (“Total Installment Payments”).

 

7.             In the event of a default under the Agreement by the EchoStar Parties for failure to pay any portion of any of the Installment Payments required by the Agreement within the cure period as provided for in Section 5.4 of the Agreement (a “Payment Default”), the EchoStar Parties agreed that EchoStar and DISH shall be jointly and severally liable for default and executed various [*] attached hereto as Exhibit P-1 and P-2 [*] of TiVo for all remaining unpaid Installment Payments due or that will become due.  TiVo hereby acknowledges that, although 

 

[*]Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

 

there [*], it shall only be entitle to receive the amount owing once from DISH, EchoStar or a combination of the two Parties.  In the event of a Payment Default, then the EchoStar Parties further agreed that TiVo shall be entitled to file this Consent Complaint, Stipulated Motion for Entry of Judgment (Exhibit Q) and Stipulated Judgment (Exhibit R) in Arapahoe County, Colorado District Court, for the Total Installment Payments, less the sum of any installment payments paid to TiVo by the EchoStar Parties, plus a monthly service charge of one and one-half percent (11⁄2%) per month of the unpaid balance or the maximum rate allowable by law, whichever is less, plus all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by TiVo, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with collection and other enforcement proceeding resulting there from.

 

8.             By stipulating to this Complaint, EchoStar and DISH consent to jurisdiction in Arapahoe County, Colorado District Court and waive any and all objections to venue in this Court.

 

9.             By stipulating to this Complaint, EchoStar and DISH waive service of summons pursuant to Colo.R.Civ.P 4(h)(5) provided, however, that TiVo provides to DISH a notice of intent to file the Consent Complaint two days prior to filing such complaint with any Court.

 

10.          By filing this Consent Complaint, TiVo certifies that EchoStar and DISH have failed to make an Installment Payment in full when required under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, that TiVo has provided EchoStar and DISH with notice of breach under the Agreement, and that EchoStar and DISH have failed to cure such failure to pay within the time permitted and thus EchoStar and DISH are in default.

WHEREFORE, the Parties pray for the forthwith entry of the Stipulated Judgment.

 

This document was e-filed to the Court through the LexisNexis CourtLink electronic filing procedures, under C.R.C.P. 121(c) § 1-26.  The original signed copy of this pleading is on file with Faegre & Benson LLP.

1.             As set forth in the Consent Complaint, the Parties executed on April 29, 2011 a Confidential Settlement and Patent License Agreement (the “Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Parties

2.             By filing this Stipulated Motion for Entry of Judgment, TiVo certifies that EchoStar and DISH have failed to make an installment in full when required under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and that it has provided EchoStar and DISH with notice of breach under the Agreement and that EchoStar and DISH have failed to cure such failure to pay within the time permitted.

 

3.             Therefore, EchoStar and DISH consent and agree to the Stipulated Judgment attached hereto, subject to TiVo including in the attached Stipulated Judgment an amount reflecting not more than the total amount owed on the remaining deficiency as of the date of filing, after accounting for all Installment Payments received by TiVo from the EchoStar Parties pursuant to Section 5.1 and 5.4 of the Agreement.

STIPULATED MOTION TO   LIMIT ACCESS TO COURT FILES 
   PURSUANT TO C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-5
    
				

 

Plaintiff TiVo Inc. (“TiVo”) and Defendants EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar”) and DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”) (collectively the “Parties”), through their respective counsel, hereby file this Stipulated Motion To Limit Access to Court Files Pursuant to C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-5. In support the Parties state as follows:

 

1.             As set forth in the Consent Complaint, the Parties executed on April 29, 2011 a Confidential Settlement and Patent License Agreement (the “Agreement”).  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Parties agreed to dismiss all of their Pending Litigations with prejudice, enter a [*] with respect to certain potential patent litigation, and grant certain releases and certain licenses with respect to certain patents.

 

 

2.             The terms of the Agreement are highly confidential to the Parties.  The public release of those terms may cause competitive harm to one or more of the Parties.  Certain of the

 

[*]Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

 

documents to be filed in this action, including the Consent Complaint [*] include a copy of the Agreement as an exhibit and/or disclose certain of its confidential terms.

 

3.                                       C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-5 provides that any party named in any civil action may file a motion with the Court to limit access to court files. C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-5(1).  An order limiting access is appropriate upon a finding that the harm to the privacy of a person in interest outweighs the public interest.  C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-5(2).

 

4.                                       The public disclosure of the trade secret, confidential and commercially sensitive information of TiVo, DISH and EchoStar will result in substantial competitive injury to the Parties.  This harm outweighs any interest that the general public may have in access to such information.  See, e.g., Anderson v. Home Ins. Co., 924 P.2d 1123, 1127 (Colo. Ct. App. 1996) (recognizing that the protection of trade secret information is a valid ground for entering an order under C.R.C.P. 121, § 1-5).  The parties operate in an extremely competitive and highly technical market.  Unprotected disclosure of the trade secret, confidential and commercially sensitive information threatens the Parties’ existences in the marketplace.  The Parties thus have a right to privacy and a significant interest in protecting the terms of their commercial relationship from becoming public.

 

 

WHEREFORE, TiVo, EchoStar and DISH request this Court to enter an Order permitting the parties to file the Consent Complaint, [*], Stipulated Motion for Entry of Judgment, and Stipulated Judgment and all exhibits to the same under seal pursuant to C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-5.

 

This document was e-filed to the Court through the LexisNexis CourtLink electronic filing procedures, under C.R.C.P. 121(c) § 1-26.  The original signed copy of this document is on file with Faegre & Benson LLP.
