BACKGROUND
A.    Customer desires to retain 605 from time to time to perform certain professional services as specified in each Statement of Work (as defined below); and
B.    605 desires to perform such services for Customer on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
		
	1.
	SERVICES

1.1    General.
(a)    During the term of this Agreement, Customer and 605 shall develop and agree upon written statements of work (each, a “Statement of Work”) that reference this Agreement and specify, as applicable: (a) 605’s fees and rates; (b) the term of that Statement of Work; (c) the services to be provided by 605 under that Statement of Work (“Services”); (d) the datasets, spreadsheets, reports, tables, charts, or documentation to be provided by 605 under that Statement of Work (“Deliverables”); and (e) any other details the parties deem appropriate, including the identification of any Deliverables as work product (“Work Product”). Work Product means any Deliverables that: (i) are created specifically for Customer under this Agreement; (ii) are expressly and specifically identified in the applicable Statement of Work as “Work Product”; and (iii) do not constitute any software, utilities, tools, methodologies, specifications, techniques, processes models, or algorithms, and/or 605 Materials (as defined below), which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not constitute Work Product. A form of Statement of Work is set forth on Exhibit A. Customer agrees to retain 605 to perform Services for Customer as set forth in each Statement of Work. Neither party is required to enter into any Statement of Work, and 605 is not required to perform any services or provide any deliverable not set forth in a Statement of Work.
1.2    Personnel. 605 may perform the Services through its employees (“605 Personnel”) or contractors (“Contractors”), whose relationship to 605 is defined in Contractor agreements (“Contractor Agreements”), as necessary to provide the Services and Deliverables; provided, however, Customer has approved of each such Contractor in writing prior to such Contractor commencing work on any Customer engagement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 605 shall remain responsible under the terms of this Agreement for the Services performed by 605 Personnel.
605 shall contractually require, and shall cause, any Contractor to make timely delivery of the Work Product.
605 shall contractually require each Contractor to be responsible for the timely and full payment of all costs and fees to all persons and entities that render services or goods for the creation and production of the Work Product.  605 shall timely make all payments to the Contractor as may be required for the timely completion of the Work Product by the Contractor.
605 Personnel and Contractors performing Services under this Agreement must be subject to confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those set forth herein.
In addition to the foregoing provisions, each Contractor Agreement shall contain representations, warranties and indemnification provisions that contain the following terms, at a minimum:
		
	(a)
	Contractor shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations; 

		
	(b)
	The Deliverables and Work Product and all works and other intellectual property provided by the Contractor in connection with the Deliverables and/or Work Product, including without limitation all works, materials and intellectual property other than the materials created by or for the Contractor, and any and all intellectual property and all improvements and other derivatives thereto or thereof, whether made in connection with this Agreement, the Contractor Agreement or otherwise, do not and shall not infringe upon or violate any rights whatsoever of any third party; 

		
	(c)
	Contractor has not, and shall not at any time, created or permitted to exist any lien, pledge, security interest or any other encumbrance in or to the Deliverables and/or Work Product or any other product using any Customer materials that may be developed, created or utilized pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Contractor Agreement; and

		
	(d)
	Contractor shall be solely responsible for and shall pay any and all development costs related to the Deliverables and/or Work Product (as applicable) and shall obtain any and all rights and clearances for any Third-Party Materials (as referenced in Section 3.5 below) used in connection with the Deliverables and/or Work Product.

1.3    Customer Cooperation. In order to enable 605 to perform the Services, Customer shall perform its responsibilities under this Agreement and the applicable Statement of Work and provide 605 Personnel and Contractors with such other cooperation and assistance as 605 reasonably requests.
1.4    Changes. Either party may, from time to time during the performance of the Services, provide written notice to the other party proposing changes or additions to this Agreement or a Statement of Work (each a “Change Proposal”). Following delivery and receipt of a Change Proposal, the parties shall negotiate in good faith and discuss appropriate modifications to this Agreement or the relevant Statement of Work, as applicable (including without limitation the specifications, timeframes, and fees). Neither party is required to accept a Change Proposal, and neither party will be required to perform any additional Services or provide any additional Deliverables or provide any additional cooperation or support until a Change Proposal has been agreed upon in writing.  If parties agree to modify this Agreement or a Statement of Work, the Parties will execute a written amendment to this Agreement or such Statement of Work, which shall include any such changes or additions and any relevant information that the Parties deem necessary.  Each such amendment will be incorporated into this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of 605 or any Contractor hired by 605 to deliver the Services and Deliverables on the firm due dates set forth in a Statement of Work for any reason shall entitle Customer to terminate the applicable Statement of Work pursuant to the terms herein, and receive a repayment of any fees paid for such Deliverable as applicable to the terminated Statement of Work.  605 shall notify Customer, as soon as reasonably practicable, about any potential or anticipated delay in making any scheduled delivery of Services and/or Deliverables in accordance with the applicable Statement of Work.
		
	2.
	COMPENSATION

2.1    Fees and Expenses. Fees and expenses payable as mutually agreed by the Parties for the Services and Deliverables will be set forth in the relevant Statement of Work (the “Fee”).  The Fee described in each Statement of Work is only subject to change based on additional Services and Deliverables authorized and approved by Customer. Customer will be under no obligation to pay 605 any other amounts unless Customer authorizes such amount in writing in advance.
2.2    Invoicing and Payment. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Statement of Work, 605 shall submit invoices to Customer monthly. Customer shall pay the pre-approved 605 fees and expenses no later than thirty (30) business days following the date the Customer receives of the invoice for such pre-approved fees and expenses. Late payments will bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less); provided, however, that such late payment is not due to a reason within 605’s control. In the event of any failure by Customer to make payments of any fees hereunder in a timely manner not due to a reason within 605’s control, 605 shall provide a written notice to Customer of such late payment and if Customer fails to cure the unpaid invoice within fifteen (15) business days from receipt of a written notice to Customer, then 605 shall have the opportunity to temporarily suspend such applicable Statement of Work until such payment is paid, or, if 605 does not temporarily suspend such applicable Statement of Work,  any due date set forth in such Statement of Work may be extended at 605’s election in good faith (provided, in no event longer than a period equal to the temporary suspension period).
2.3    Taxes. Customer shall be responsible for and shall indemnify and hold 605 harmless from payment of all taxes (other than taxes based on 605’s net income), fees, duties, and other governmental charges, and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of fees to 605 under this Agreement or the provision of the Services and Deliverables under any Statement of Work to Customer. Customer shall make all payments of fees to 605 free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes, and if requested by a taxing authority or by 605, Customer shall provide 605 with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as 605 may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.

	9.
	CONFIDENTIALITY

9.1    Definition of Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed, directly or indirectly, by the disclosing party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the receiving party (the “Receiving Party”) pursuant to this Agreement that (a) is in written, graphic, machine readable or other tangible form (including without limitation documents, software, prototypes, samples, data sets, product plans and research), and is marked “Confidential” or in a similar manner to indicate its confidential nature; (b) is disclosed orally or visually, provided that such information is designated as confidential at the time of initial disclosure; or (c) otherwise should reasonably be understood or considered to be confidential by the Receiving Party based on the circumstances of disclosure or the nature of the information itself. Confidential Information may include information of a third party disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party under this Agreement. Confidential Information of 605 includes, without limitation, the 605 Materials (whether or not so marked or identified) and all information constituting or relating to 605’s (or any of its affiliates’) (y) databases and data sets (including any personally-identifiable information that may be contained therein), computing environments, storage, or networks; or (z) security processes, procedures, safeguards, vulnerabilities, compromises, breaches, or failures (whether or not so marked or identified).  Confidential Information of Customer includes, without limitation, the Customer Materials and Customer Data (whether or not so marked, designated or otherwise identified) and all information constituting Customer’s (or any of Customer’s affiliates’) business or information of Customer provided by or made available to 605 by Customer in the course of this Agreement.  In addition, 605 shall acknowledge and agree to the terms contained in the Security Addendum attached hereto as Exhibit B, which is incorporated into the Agreement by reference.
9.2    Confidentiality Obligations. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Disclosing Party may disclose Confidential Information to the Receiving Party. Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement (including for the purposes of performing obligations or exercising license rights under this Agreement), the Receiving Party will maintain in strict confidence all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and will not use, disclose to any third party, or permit third-party use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will limit access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to employees or contractors of the Receiving Party who have a need to know, and use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. At the request of the Disclosing Party or upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will promptly destroy all documents and materials in the Receiving Party’s possession or control that contain Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and are not subject to an ongoing license to the Receiving Party.  Each party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of its representatives, and agrees, at its sole expense, to take reasonable measures to restrain its representatives from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
9.3    Exceptions. The obligations in Section 9.2 will not apply to any Confidential Information that: (a) was already known to the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party; (c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through an act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; or (d) was disclosed to the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a third party who had no obligation to the Disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others. Notwithstanding Section 9.2, the Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the extent necessary to comply with a valid order of a court or other governmental authority, provided that prompt written notice is given to the Disclosing Party and the Disclosing Party has a reasonable opportunity to contest or seek to limit such disclosure and the recipient takes reasonable and lawful actions to avoid and/or minimize the extent of such disclosure.  
9.4    Confidentiality of Agreement. Neither party shall disclose any terms of this Agreement (including without limitation pricing terms) to anyone other than its attorneys, accountants, and other professional advisors under a duty of confidentiality except (a) as required by law, (b) pursuant to a mutually agreeable press release, or (c) in connection with a proposed merger, financing, or sale of such party’s business.  Each party agrees that a breach of this Section 9 may result in the substantial likelihood of irreparable harm and injury to the other party for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy, and for which damages would be difficult to accurately measure.  Accordingly, each party agrees that the other party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek immediate injunctive relief as well as other allowable equitable relief solely related to any breach or potential breach of this Section 9, and in no way obtainable to prevent the exhibition or airing of any of Customer’s programming.  Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, each party shall return (or if requested by the Disclosing Party, destroy) all Confidential Information, documents, manuals, electronic data and other materials provided by the Disclosing Party to the recipient hereunder.  605 shall certify its destruction of any Customer Confidential Information with the attached Exhibit C.  
		
	10.

Coverage shall contain severability for the insured organization for any intentional act exclusions. If this coverage is provided on a claims-made basis, then it must be maintained for a period of two (2) years after termination of this agreement; and (vi) Cyber Extortion coverage with a single limit coverage in an amount not less than $3,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate.  Coverage will include direct or indirect illegal threat from a third party to damage, destroy or corrupt 605’s or Customer’s computer system, website or any programs used.  Coverage will also include illegal threat to disseminate any commercial information resulting in a demand for ransom as a condition of not carrying out such threat.

	GENERAL

11.1    Independent Contractors. Customer and 605 are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement permits either party to create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other.
11.2    Assignment. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns. Neither party may assign this Agreement or assign any rights or delegate any duties under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent; provided, that either party may assign this Agreement without consent in its entirety to any affiliate, or any successor-in-interest, whether by merger, operation of law or other acquisition of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of such party to which this Agreement relates. 
11.3    Notices. Any notice, approval, authorization, consent, or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to either party under this Agreement and intended to have legal effect must be in writing and will be given (1) personally; (2) by overnight express courier with confirmation of delivery; or (3) by electronic mail.

11.4    Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and enforced under the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., but excluding its conflict of law provisions that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement must be brought in or otherwise commenced in a state court located in New York County, New York or federal court in the Southern District of New York.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing will prohibit 605 or Customer from seeking relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights or Confidential Information.
11.6    No Waiver; Severability. The waiver of any particular breach or default or any delay in exercising any rights is not a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, and no waiver is effective unless in writing and signed by the waiving party. If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible consistent with the original intent of the parties, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in force. The limitations of liability in this Agreement will be effective notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy set forth in this Agreement.
11.7    Construction. The parties intend this Agreement to be construed fairly, according to its terms, in plain English, and without constructive presumptions against the drafting party. The Section headings in this Agreement are for reference only and do not affect the meaning of this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, “including” means “including but not limited to”. In the event of any conflict, ambiguity, or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the main body of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of a Statement of Work, the provisions of the main body of this Agreement will prevail unless the Statement of Work specifically states that the Statement of Work prevails. The terms of this Agreement supersede the terms of any non-disclosure agreement or other agreement governing the use and disclosure of confidential information entered into between the parties in anticipation of this Agreement.
11.8    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together constitute a single instrument. Execution and delivery of this Agreement may be evidenced by facsimile or e-mail transmission.

11.10    Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not, and neither party intends that this Agreement will, confer any legal rights on any third party or to be enforceable in any part by a third party.
11.11    Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with its Exhibits and any and all Statements of Work (which are hereby incorporated by reference when executed by the parties) represents the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings (oral and written) with respect to the matters covered by this Agreement. Neither party has entered into this Agreement based on representations other than those contained in this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement signed by both parties.

EXHIBIT B

SECURITY ADDENDUM 
605, LLC (“Vendor”) and RAINBOW MEDIA HOLDINGS LLC (“Client”)

Client has agreed to provide Vendor with certain intellectual property, assets and information of a proprietary, sensitive or confidential nature that a reasonable person would regard as such based on the nature and source of such information (collectively, the “IP”).  Vendor shall, and shall cause its employees, independent contractors, and any permitted Subcontractors (including any third party hosting providers) under this Agreement to, comply with the following: 

1.Restrictions on Use:  Vendor shall utilize the IP solely for the purposes set forth in this Agreement and shall limit access to the IP to those persons who are necessary to the completion of Vendor’s obligations or as approved by Client in writing in advance.  In no event shall any IP be disclosed, transmitted, or distributed to any person external to the Vendor or other third party, including without limitation, Subcontractors, third party hosting providers, friends, relatives, significant others or acquaintances (each, a “Third Party”), unless such Third Party is bound by security and non-disclosure obligations that are no less restrictive than those set forth herein and Vendor remains liable for all acts and omissions of such Third Party, including without limitation, any failure of the Third Party to comply with this Schedule.  Any IP disclosed, transmitted or distributed, in whole or in part, by Vendor shall bear the same proprietary/confidential/restricted notices that appear on the IP when initially provided by Client, if any.  No portion of any IP shall be disclosed via any social media outlets without the Client’s prior written consent.   

2.Irreparable Harm, Injunction:  Vendor acknowledges and agrees that any unauthorized disclosure of the IP, whether intentional, inadvertent, or caused by an outside party, may destroy the value of the information and result in irreparable financial and reputational harm to the Client and Client shall be entitled to obtain (without posting any bond) an ex parte restraining order, preliminary injunction and/or permanent injunction preventing disclosure or any further disclosure of any IP.  
3.Security Breach Incidents:  Vendor shall establish and maintain a security and privacy program for all IP that complies with all requirements of law using industry standards and shall prevent unauthorized access or use or disclosure of any IP, as well as theft, pirating, unauthorized exhibition, accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration, unauthorized copying or duplication of any IP.  In the event of an incident that leads Vendor to believe (or would have lead a reasonable person exercising a reasonable level of diligence and investigation to believe) that any of the foregoing has occurred or Vendor has reason to suspect that there has been a hack, circumvention, deactivation, degradation breach or failure of any system(s) used by Vendor or any Third Party to protect the IP from unauthorized access, distribution or use (each, a “Security Incident”), Vendor shall:

		
	(a)
	Within two (2) business days notify the Client representative that has supplied or provided access to the IP and send an email to contentbreach@amcnetworks.com which shall include specific information describing the nature and extent of such occurrence; and

		
	(b)
	Promptly, at Vendor’s expense, take all necessary and reasonable interim steps to resolve and prevent recurrence of the Security Incident and to minimize any adverse impact to the Client, including taking any reasonable steps requested by Client.

4.Termination:  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and without limiting any other rights or remedies available to Client or any other provision of this Agreement or this Schedule, if Client reasonably believes that a Security Incident has resulted in or will result in any unauthorized access, distribution, or use of the IP, or that Vendor or any Vendor Subcontractor is not in compliance with these terms of this Schedule, Client may immediately terminate this Agreement (and shall be entitled to a pro rata refund of all prepaid fees) and Vendor shall return or destroy all IP in accordance with this Schedule and provide the required certification to Client. 

5.Security Practices and Procedures:  Note: If Vendor is accessing the IP solely through an AMC platform using AMC provided authentication credentials (e.g., AMC’s Virtual Private Network), Vendor shall be deemed to have satisfied these Section 5 requirements.  

		
	(a)
	If Vendor is hosting any IP or using a third party hosting provider, all IP shall be maintained in ISO 27001, ISAE 3402, SSAE 16/SOC 2 compliant data centers and, upon Client’s request, Vendor shall provide annual certificates of compliance along with annual vulnerability assessment test results.  

		
	(b)
	Vendor shall use and maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for the protection of all IP against unauthorized disclosure or access, or accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration. Vendor shall include, without limitation, (a) industry standard firewalls for all data entering internal data network from any external source; (b) industry standard anti-virus and anti-spyware software protection programs and techniques to prevent harmful software code from affecting the IP, monitoring for vulnerabilities and apply appropriate patches on a regular and ongoing basis; (c) encryption of data in transit and encryption of 128-bit (or higher) for any IP that is digitally stored either permanently or temporarily (including, but not limited to, portable or removable media, such as USB storage drives, optical media, or laptops); (d) no transmission of IP via email, facsimile or via unsecured protocols; (e) isolation of any IP in a logically discrete production database environment for Client; (f) development and maintenance of secure systems and applications, including but not limited to, 24x7 networks Intrusion Detection Systems, DLP Systems (when implemented by Vendor) and procedures for logging, alarming and reporting security violations; (g) non-use of any vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords or other security parameters; (h) installation, maintenance and updating of a log management application to accumulate application logs in one place for monitoring and review; (i) maintenance of all IP in a secure, access-controlled storage location that includes least privilege for administrator access, an audit trail of all administrator actions, maintenance of audit logs, and a minimum number of persons with privileged access; and (j) the use of unique identifiers, such as separate credentials and/or multi-factor authentication for each individual accessing any IP.

6.Auditing:  If Vendor is hosting any Client IP or collecting PII on behalf of Client, upon request and at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice from Client, not to exceed one audit in any calendar year, Vendor shall permit Client to review and audit its security practices, systems and procedures and as well as logs and related information and documentation (including any of the foregoing located at off-site facilities, if any) during regular business hours at Client’s expense.

7.Return or Destruction of IP:  Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement or upon Client’s request at any time, Vendor shall make available to Client, and shall cause all Third Parties to make available to Client, all IP and any derivatives thereto without retaining any copies thereof (electronic or otherwise).  In the event that Client agrees in writing in its sole discretion to the destruction of any portion of the IP rather than the return to Client, Vendor shall use best industry data eradication practices to ensure that the IP is destroyed and/or deleted which, at a minimum, shall comply with US DOD Wipe Standard (DoD 5220.22-M) or its successor or equivalent and Vendor shall identify, inventory, and create a listing of all copies, reproductions, or derivative works that cannot be returned to Client.  No later than 10 days after expiration or termination of this Agreement or at Client’s request for the return and/or destruction of the IP at any time, Vendor shall deliver to Client a written Certification of Return or Destruction of IP certified by an officer of Vendor in the form of Attachment A.  

8.Client’s Remedies:  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Client’s rights and remedies and Vendor’s obligations in connection with any Security Incident or any failure of Vendor to comply with these provisions shall not be limited by, or subject to, any limitation of liability, liability cap, or disclaimer of warranty/liability and shall remain uncapped and unlimited; and (ii) any fines, penalties, and interest assessed against Client and any costs of notifications required as a matter of law as a result of any unauthorized access or disclosure of IP shall be considered direct damages recoverable hereunder and Vendor will not claim or assert that such damages are indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages or otherwise unrecoverable or that any unauthorized access or breach is, or was the result of, a force majeure event.  

9.Survival, Conflicts:  Vendor’s obligations under this Schedule shall survive expiration or any full or partial termination of this Agreement and this Schedule shall be included as part of the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between any term or condition in this Schedule and the body of this Agreement, this Schedule shall prevail.

Re:    Employment
Dear Chris:
I am pleased to forward this letter agreement (the “Agreement”) setting forth the terms of your continued employment with AMC Networks Inc. which, together with its subsidiaries, and affiliates, is referred to herein as the “Company.” 
The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date it is executed by you and the Company (the “Effective Date”), and shall automatically expire on the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Expiration Date”).  
You will continue to be employed in the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer.  You agree to devote substantially all of your business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company and shall perform your duties in a diligent, competent and skillful manner and in accordance with applicable law.
As of the Effective Date, your annual base salary will be $525,000, subject to annual review and potential increase by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of AMC Networks Inc. (the “Compensation Committee”), in its discretion.  
Beginning with the 2019 performance year, you will be eligible to participate in our discretionary annual bonus program with an annual target bonus opportunity equal to sixty percent (60%) of salary.  Bonus payments are based on actual salary dollars paid during the year and depend on a number of factors including Company, unit and individual performance.  However, the decision of whether or not to pay a bonus, and the amount of that bonus, if any, will be made by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.  Except as otherwise provided herein, in order to receive a bonus, you must be employed by the Company at the time bonuses are being paid.  Such bonus shall be earned, only if and when actually paid to, and received by, you. Your annual base salary and annual bonus target (as each may be increased from time to time in the Compensation Committee’s discretion) will not be reduced during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your employment with the Company ends on the Expiration Date, you shall be paid your bonus for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, if any, even if such payment is not made to you prior to the Expiration Date, which bonus shall be subject to Company and unit performance for that fiscal year as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, but without adjustment for your individual performance.
You will also continue to be eligible, subject to your continued employment by the Company and actual grant by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, to participate in such long-term equity and other incentive programs as are made available in the future to similarly situated executives at the Company.  Beginning with awards granted in 2019, it is expected that such awards will consist of annual grants of equity awards with an annual target value of not less than $600,000, as determined by the Compensation Committee.  Any such awards would be subject to actual grant to you by the Compensation Committee in its discretion pursuant to the applicable plan documents and would be subject to terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee in its discretion that would be detailed in separate agreements you would receive after any award is actually made; provided, however, that such terms and conditions shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of the grant agreements received by similarly situated executives; provided, further, that for the purposes of this provision, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer shall not be deemed a “similarly situated executive.”
You will continue to be eligible for our standard benefits program at the levels that are made available to similarly situated executives at the Company.  Participation in our benefits program is subject to meeting the relevant eligibility requirements, payment of the required premiums, and the terms of the plans themselves.    You will be eligible for 4 weeks’ vacation to be accrued and used in accordance with Company policy.  
If, prior to the Expiration Date, your employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company for reasons other than “cause,” then subject to your execution and the effectiveness of a severance agreement (the “Severance Agreement”) to the Company’s satisfaction (to include, without limitation, non-compete (limited to one year), non-disparagement, non-solicitation, confidentiality and further cooperation obligations/restrictions on you as well as a general release by you of the Company and its affiliates), you will be paid no less than an amount (the “Severance Amount”) equal to:
1) A payment in an amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) times your annual base salary and annual target bonus opportunity, each as in effect on the effective date of your termination (the “Termination Date”).  An amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of the payment set forth in this paragraph will be payable to you on the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date and the remainder will be payable to you over the six months following such six-month anniversary in accordance with the Company’s then prevailing payroll policies; plus

2) A prorated annual bonus based on the amount of your then current annual base salary actually earned by you during the fiscal year through the Termination Date, provided, that such bonus, if any, will be payable to you if and when such bonuses are generally paid to similarly situated employees and will be based on your then current annual target bonus as well as Company and your business unit performance as determined by the Company in its discretion, but without adjustment for your individual performance; and 

3) If, as of the Termination Date, bonuses had not yet generally been paid to similarly situated employees with respect to the prior fiscal year, a bonus based on the amount of your base salary actually paid to you during such prior fiscal year, provided, that such bonus, if any, will be payable to you if and when such bonuses are generally paid to similarly situated employees and will be based on your annual target bonus that was in effect with respect to such prior fiscal year as well as Company and your business unit performance as determined by the Company, but without adjustment for your individual performance.  

If you die after a termination of your employment that is subject to the above, your estate or beneficiaries will be provided any remaining benefits and rights under the above Sections (1) through (3). 
In connection with any termination of your employment, your then outstanding equity and cash incentive awards shall be treated in accordance with their terms and, other than as provided in this Agreement, you shall not be eligible for severance benefits under any other plan, program or policy of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit any more favorable rights that you may be entitled to under your equity and cash incentive award agreements, including, without limitation, your rights in the event of a termination of your employment, a “Going Private Transaction” or a “Change of Control” (as those terms are defined in the applicable award agreement).
For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” means, as determined by the Company, your (i) commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, willful misconduct, gross negligence or breach of fiduciary duty against the Company or an affiliate thereof, or (ii) commission of any act or omission that results in a conviction, plea of no contest, plea of nolo contendere, or imposition of unadjudicated probation for any crime involving moral turpitude or any felony.
Effective immediately, you and the Company agree to be bound by the additional covenants and provisions applicable to each that are set forth in the Annex attached hereto, which Annex shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement.
This Agreement does not constitute a guarantee of employment for any definite period or on any specific terms.  Your employment is at will and may be terminated by you or the Company at any time, with or without notice or reason.  The Company may withhold from any payment due to you any taxes that are required to be withheld under any law, rule or regulation.  
If any payment otherwise due to you hereunder would result in the imposition of the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), the Company will instead pay you either (i) such amount or (ii) the maximum amount that could be paid to you without the imposition of the excise tax, depending on whichever amount results in your receiving the greater amount of after-tax proceeds (as reasonably determined by the Company). In the event that any such payment or benefits payable to you hereunder would be reduced because of the imposition of such excise tax, then such reduction will be determined in a manner which has the least economic cost to you and, to the extent the economic cost is equivalent, such payments or benefits will be reduced in the inverse order of when the payments or benefits would have been made to you (i.e., later payments will be reduced first) until the reduction specified is achieved.
It is intended that this Agreement will comply with Section 409A of the Code (together with the applicable regulations thereunder, “Section 409A”) and to the extent the Agreement is subject thereto, the Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent.  If and to the extent that any payment or benefit under this Agreement, or any plan, award or arrangement of the Company or its affiliates, constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and is payable to you by reason of your termination of employment, then (a) such payment or benefit shall be made or provided to you only upon a “separation from service” as defined for purposes of Section 409A under applicable regulations and (b) if you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A as determined by the Company), such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided before the date that is six months after the date of your separation from service (or your earlier death) as set forth herein.   Any amount not paid or benefit not provided in respect of the six-month period specified in the preceding sentence will be paid to you in the manner set forth in this Agreement.  Any such payment or benefit shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A to the extent Section 409A applies to such payments.
This Agreement is personal to you and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by you otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your legal representatives.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.
The Company hereby agrees that it shall indemnify and hold you harmless to the fullest extent provided in Article VIII of the Company’s By-Laws and on terms no less favorable as those applicable to other similarly situated executives of the Company. To the extent that the Company maintains officers’ and directors’ liability insurance, you will be covered under such policy subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth therein. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of your employment and/or this Agreement as well as your execution of the Severance Agreement as provided for herein.
To the extent permitted by law, you hereby waive any and all rights to the jury trial with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement.
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within that State.
You hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of New York solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, and you hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense that you are not subject thereto or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate.  You hereby agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in any manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.  If any provision of this Agreement is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed modified, amended and narrowed to the extent necessary to render the same legal, valid and enforceable, and the other remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected but shall remain in full force and effect. It is the parties’ intention that this Agreement not be construed more strictly with regard to you or the Company.
This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, the June 27, 2016 letter agreement between you and the Company.
This Agreement will automatically terminate, and be of no further force or effect, on the earlier of (a) March 15, 2019 if it is not acknowledged by you below prior to such date, or (b) the Expiration Date (except as to any right that accrued prior to such date to receive the Severance Amount subject to the execution and effectiveness of the Severance Agreement); provided, however, that the confidentiality obligations set forth herein shall survive such termination.

We continue to appreciate your ongoing services to the Company and look forward to your execution of this Agreement.
Sincerely,

ANNEX

This Annex constitutes part of the Agreement, dated March 8, 2019, by and between Christian Wymbs (“You”) and the Company.  Terms defined in the Agreement shall have the same meanings in this Annex.

You agree to comply with the following covenants in addition to those set forth in the Agreement.

1.    Confidentiality
(a)    Agreement.  You agree to keep the existence and terms of this Agreement confidential (unless it is made public by the Company) provided that (1) you are authorized to make any disclosure required of you by any federal, state or local laws or judicial proceedings, after providing the Company with prior written notice and an opportunity to respond to such disclosure (unless such notice is prohibited by law), and (2) you are authorized to disclose this Agreement and its terms to your legal, financial and tax advisors or to members of your immediate family so long as such advisors and family members agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Agreement.
(b)    Confidential and Proprietary Information.  You agree to retain in strict confidence and not use for any purpose whatsoever or divulge, disseminate, copy, disclose to any third party, or otherwise use any Confidential Information, other than for legitimate business purposes of the Company and its affiliates.  As used herein, “Confidential Information” means any non-public information of a confidential, proprietary, commercially sensitive or personal nature of, or regarding, the Company or any of its affiliates or any director, officer or member of senior management of any of the foregoing (collectively “Covered Parties”).  The term Confidential Information includes information in written, digital, oral or any other format and includes, but is not limited to: (i) information designated or treated as confidential; (ii) budgets, plans, forecasts or other financial or accounting data; (iii) subscriber, customer, guest, fan vendor or shareholder lists or data; (iv) technical or strategic information regarding the Covered Parties’ cable, data, telephone, programming, advertising, sports, entertainment, film production, theatrical, motion picture exhibition or other businesses; (v) advertising, business, programming, sales or marketing tactics and strategies;  (vi) policies, practices, procedures or techniques; (vii) trade secrets or other intellectual property; (viii) information, theories or strategies relating to litigation, arbitration, mediation, investigations or matters relating to governmental authorities; (ix) terms of agreements with third parties and third party trade secrets; (x) information regarding employees, officers, directors, players, coaches, agents, talent, consultants, advisors or representatives, including their compensation or other human resources policies and procedures; and (xi) any other information the disclosure of which may have an adverse effect on the Covered Parties’ business reputation, operations or competitive position, reputation or standing in the community.
(c)    Exception for Disclosure Pursuant to Law.  Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Agreement, you are authorized to make any disclosure required of you by any federal, state or local laws or judicial, arbitral or governmental agency proceedings, including, but not limited to, providing truthful testimony concerning the Company or its affiliates as required by court order or other legal process; after providing the Company with prior written notice and an opportunity to respond prior to such disclosure.  In addition, this Agreement in no way restricts or prevents you from providing truthful testimony concerning the Company to judicial, administrative, regulatory or other governmental authorities.

By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have been advised that pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, you may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a trade secret: (i) in confidence, to a federal, state, or local government official, or to your attorneys, for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of the law; or (ii) in a complaint or other court document filed in connection with a lawsuit or court proceeding, provided that said filing is made under seal.  In addition, you acknowledge that you have been advised that if you file an action for retaliation against the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, you may disclose a trade secret to your attorneys and use the trade secret in connection with the court proceeding provided that you: (i) file any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (ii) do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.  

2.    Non-Compete

You acknowledge that due to your executive position in the Company and your knowledge of Confidential Information, your employment by or affiliation with certain businesses would be detrimental to the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.  You agree that, without the prior written consent of the Company, you will not represent, become employed by, consult to, advise in any manner or have any material interest, directly or indirectly, in any Competitive Entity (as defined below).  A “Competitive Entity” shall mean (1) any person, entity or business that (i) competes with any of the Company’s or any of its affiliates’ programming, distribution or other existing businesses, internationally, nationally or regionally; or (ii) directly competes with any other business of the Company or one of its subsidiaries that produced greater than 10% of the Company’s revenues in the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the determination is made.  Ownership of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded company shall not, by itself, be a violation of this paragraph.  This agreement not to compete will expire on the first anniversary of the date on which your employment with the Company has terminated if such termination occurs prior to the Expiration Date.  
3.    Additional Understandings

You agree, for yourself and others acting on your behalf, that you (and they) have not disparaged and will not disparage, make negative statements about or act in any manner which is intended to or does damage to the good will of, or the business or personal reputations of the Company, any of its affiliates or any of their respective incumbent or former officers, directors, agents, consultants, employees, successors and assigns.

In addition, you agree that the Company is the owner of all rights, title and interest in and to all documents, tapes, videos, designs, plans, formulas, models, processes, computer programs, inventions (whether patentable or not), schematics, music, lyrics, programming ideas and other technical, business, financial, advertising, sales, marketing, customer, programming or product development plans, forecasts, strategies, information and materials (in any medium whatsoever) developed or prepared by you or with your cooperation during the course of your employment by the Company (the “Materials”).  The Company will have the sole and exclusive authority to use the Materials in any manner that it deems appropriate, in perpetuity, without additional payment to you.

4.    Further Cooperation
Following the date of termination of your employment with the Company, you will no longer provide any regular services to the Company or represent yourself as a Company agent.  If, however, the Company so requests, you agree to cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any matter with which you were involved prior to such employment termination, or in any litigation or administrative proceedings or appeals (including any preparation therefore) where the Company believes that your personal knowledge, attendance or participation could be beneficial to the Company or its affiliates.  This cooperation includes, without limitation, participation on behalf of the Company and/or its affiliates in any litigation, administrative or similar proceeding, including providing truthful testimony.
The Company will provide you with reasonable notice in connection with any cooperation it requires in accordance with this section and will take reasonable steps to schedule your cooperation in any such matters so as not to materially interfere with your other professional and personal commitments.  The Company will reimburse you for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses you reasonably incur in connection with the cooperation you provide hereunder as soon as practicable after you present appropriate documentation evidencing such expenses.  You agree to provide the Company with an estimate of any such expense before it is incurred.

5.     No Hire or Solicit
For the term of the Agreement and until one year after the termination of your employment, you agree not to hire, seek to hire, or cause any person or entity to hire or seek to hire (without the prior written consent of the Company), directly or indirectly (whether for your own interest or any other person or entity’s interest) any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates.  This restriction does not apply to any employee who was discharged by the Company or any of its affiliates.  In addition, this restriction will not prevent you from providing references.  

6.    Acknowledgments

You acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Annex, in light of the nature of the Company’s business and your position and responsibilities, are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company.  You acknowledge that the Company has no adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed if you breach or threaten to breach any of the provisions of this Annex, and therefore agree that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent any breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions and to specific performance of the terms of each of such provisions in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy it may have.  You further agree that you will not, in any equity proceeding relating to the enforcement of the provisions of this Annex, raise the defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law.  Nothing in this Annex shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies at law or in equity that it may have or any other rights that it may have under any other agreement.  If it is determined that any of the provisions of this Annex, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) of such provision, it is the intention of the parties that the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, shall be reduced so that such provision becomes enforceable and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event you violate the covenants and agreements set forth in this Annex, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company, the Company shall have no further obligation to pay you any severance benefits or to provide you with any other rights or benefits to which you would have been entitled pursuant to this Agreement had you not breached the covenants and agreements set forth in this Annex.

7.    Survival
The covenants and agreement set forth in this Annex shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement and any termination of your employment with the Company, in accordance with their respective terms.
