(ii)                                  each certificate representing such Shares will be endorsed with the following legend:

(a)                                 except for such times as Amicus is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any required qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws, continuously effective with respect to GSK and its permitted assignees, until the date all Shares held by GSK may be sold during any ninety (90) day period under Rule 144 and any contractual agreements with Amicus.  The period of time during which Amicus is required hereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period.”

 

(b)                                 advise GSK promptly (and, in any event, within five (5) business days):

(iv)                              of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading;

 

(c)                                  use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(e)                                  during the Registration Period, promptly deliver to GSK, without charge, at least one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto and as many additional copies as GSK may reasonably request; and Amicus consents to the use, consistent with the provisions hereof, of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by GSK in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;

 

(f)                                   during the Registration Period, if GSK so requests in writing, deliver to GSK, without charge, (i) one copy of the following documents, other than those documents available via EDGAR (and excluding, in each case, exhibits thereto): (A) its annual report to its stockholders, if any (which annual report will contain financial statements audited in accordance with GAAP by a firm of certified public accountants of recognized standing), (B) if not included in substance in its annual report to stockholders, its annual report on Form 10-K (or similar form), (C) its definitive proxy statement with respect to its annual meeting of stockholders, (D) each of its quarterly reports to its stockholders, and, if not included in substance in its quarterly reports to stockholders, its quarterly report on Form 10-Q (or similar form), and (E) a copy of the Registration Statement; and (ii) if explicitly requested, any exhibits filed with respect to the foregoing;

(i)                                     use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which equity securities issued by Amicus have been listed;

 

(j)                                    use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby and to enable GSK to sell Registrable Securities under Rule 144; and

 

(k)                                 permit counsel for GSK to review the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, within two (2) business days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission;

 

provided that, in the case of clause (k) above, Amicus will not be required to delay the filing of the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto to incorporate any comments to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto by or on behalf of GSK if such comments would require a delay in the filing of such Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, as the case may be.

 

If at any time during the Registration Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and Amicus determines to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of any other stockholder upon demand (a “Demanding Stockholder”) under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents (an “Incidental Registration”), then Amicus will send to GSK written notice of such determination and, if within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice, GSK will so request in writing, Amicus will use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration statement or, in the case of an underwritten offering, cause the managing underwriter or underwriters to include, all or any part of such Registrable Securities GSK requests to be registered, on the same terms and conditions as the securities of Amicus or of the Demanding Stockholder included therein. In connection with any Incidental Registration, Amicus shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering unless GSK accepts the terms of the underwritten offering as agreed upon between Amicus, the Demanding Stockholder, if any, and the underwriter, and then only in such quantity as the underwriter believes will not have a material adverse effect on the success of such offering. If the underwriter determines that the registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities which GSK has requested to be included would have a material adverse effect on the success of such offering, then Amicus shall be required to include in such Incidental Registration, to the extent of the amount that the underwriter believes may be sold without causing such adverse effect, first, all of the securities to be offered for the account of Amicus or the account of the Demanding Stockholder; second, any securities to be offered for the account of the Investor Rights Agreement Investors, if any, and third, the Registrable Securities; provided, that (i) if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, Amicus will determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, Amicus may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to GSK and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register, will be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities to this paragraph in connection with such registration (but not from its

obligation to pay expenses in accordance with this Agreement), and (B) in the case of a determination to delay registering, will be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to this paragraph for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.

 

7.4                               Furnishing Information.

 

(a)                                 It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Amicus to take any action pursuant to Section 7.1 that the selling Holders shall furnish to Amicus such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be legally required under the Securities Act or otherwise required by the SEC to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.

 

7.5                               Indemnification; Contribution.

 

(a)                                 Amicus shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder (including the employees, agents, representatives, officers and directors of GSK and its Affiliates) (each a “GSK Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out of or based upon any untrue, or allegedly untrue, statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or notification or offering circular prepared by Amicus in connection with the registration and/or offering of the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if Amicus shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information concerning such Holder furnished in writing to Amicus by such Holder expressly for use in such document.

 

(b)                                 Each Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless Amicus, and its respective directors, officers, employees and each Person who controls Amicus (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out of or based upon any untrue, or allegedly untrue, statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or notification or offering circular prepared by Amicus in connection with the registration and/or offering of the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if Amicus shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information concerning such Holder furnished in writing to Amicus by such Holder specifically for use in the preparation of such document.

 

(c)                                  Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends

to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, such failure results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses.  If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) have been advised by such counsel that either (x) representation of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (y) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party.  In either of such cases, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party.  No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent (other than in the case where the Indemnifying Party is unconditionally released from liability and its rights are not adversely effected), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(d)                                 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.5 from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to applicable law is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative faults of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, Knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.5(a), (b) and (c), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person.

7.6                               Rule 144 Reporting.  In order to make the benefits of the rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration available to GSK, Amicus agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to:

 

(a)                                 make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144(c)(1) or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the SPA Effective Date;

 

(b)                                 file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of Amicus under the Exchange Act; and

 

(c)                                  so long as GSK owns any Registrable Securities, furnish GSK forthwith upon request: (i) a written statement by Amicus as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act; (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of Amicus; and (iii) such other reports and documents as GSK may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule of regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

 

7.7                               Assignment of Registration Rights.  The rights and obligations under this Section 7 may only be assigned by GSK to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities that is (a) an Affiliate or (b) a successor (by operation of law or otherwise) to substantially all the business or assets of GSK; provided, however, that such attempted assignment shall be void unless (i) GSK, within thirty (30) days after such transfer, furnishes to Amicus written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, and (ii) such transferee agrees to be subject to all obligations and restrictions with respect to the Registrable Securities set forth in this Agreement.

CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

 

This CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT and RELEASE (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 21, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) by and between VOOM HD Holdings LLC f/k/a Rainbow HD Holdings LLC (“Rainbow”) and CSC Holdings, LLC (“Cablevision”), on the one hand, and DISH Network L.L.C. f/k/a EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. (“DISH”), on the other hand, and solely for the purposes set forth in Section 3(a) below, DISH Media Holdings Corporation f/k/a EchoStar Media Holdings Corporation (“DISH Media”), and solely for the purposes set forth in Sections 1(c) and 3(c) below, MSG Holdings, L.P. (“MSG Holdings”) and The Madison Square Garden Company (“MSG”), and solely for the purposes set forth in Section 2 below, EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar Corporation”).  Rainbow, DISH, DISH Media, MSG Holdings, MSG, Cablevision and EchoStar Corporation shall each be referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

 

WHEREAS, Rainbow and DISH and/or certain of their respective affiliates entered into a series of agreements relating to certain programming channels collectively known as VOOM (the “Joint Venture”), which was documented pursuant to, among other agreements, an Investment Agreement dated April 28, 2005; an EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. Affiliation Agreement, dated November 17, 2005 (the “VOOM Affiliation Agreement”); and a Limited Liability Company Agreement dated November 17, 2005.

 

WHEREAS, certain of the Parties are currently engaged in litigation concerning the Joint Venture in a case pending before Justice Richard B. Lowe III in the Supreme Court of New York, Commercial Division, and captioned as VOOM HD Holdings LLC v. EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. (Index No. 600292/2008) (the “Lawsuit”).

 

WHEREAS, in the Lawsuit, Rainbow alleges that DISH breached the VOOM Affiliation Agreement; and DISH has asserted counterclaims against Rainbow.

 

WHEREAS, certain of the Parties now desire to settle the Lawsuit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants, agreements and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

***Certain confidential portions of this exhibit were omitted by means of redacting a portion of the text.  Copies of the exhibit containing the redacted portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission subject to a request for confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act.

 

 

1.                                      Payment and Dismissal of Lawsuit.

 

In full and final settlement of the Lawsuit:

 

(a)                                 DISH agrees to pay Seven Hundred Million U.S. Dollars ($700,000,000) by electronic funds transfer to an account designated by Rainbow according to instructions provided in Exhibit A (the “Payment”), a portion of which ($80,000,000) is in consideration for the agreement of DTV Norwich, LLC (“DTV”) to transfer to DISH certain MVDDS spectrum licenses pursuant to the terms set forth in that certain License Purchase Agreement of even date herewith by and between DTV and DISH (the “License Purchase Agreement”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the consideration for the transfer of such MVDDS spectrum licenses is included in the Payment, and no additional consideration is independently owing under the License Purchase Agreement.  DISH shall make the Payment no later than two (2) business days after the Effective Date.  The date the Payment is received shall be referred to herein as the “Settlement Date.”

 

(b)                                 On the first business day after the Effective Date, Rainbow and DISH will jointly request the Court to “so order” the terms of Sections 1(a), 1(b) and 1(d) herein and enter such terms into the record.  As promptly as practicable after the Settlement Date, but in any event within two (2) business days after the Settlement Date, Rainbow and DISH shall file a joint stipulation to dismiss the Lawsuit with prejudice, and shall take all other actions reasonably necessary to secure such dismissal.

 

(c)                                  Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, DISH and certain subsidiaries of each of AMC Networks Inc. (“AMC Networks”) and MSG shall execute an affiliation agreement for the carriage by DISH of certain programming channels owned and operated by AMC Networks and MSG (the “AMC/MSG Affiliation Agreement”).

 

(d)                                 Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, DISH shall cause DISH Media to convey its 20 percent limited liability interest in Rainbow to Rainbow Programming Holdings, LLC (“Rainbow Programming”) pursuant to that certain Interest Transfer Agreement of even date herewith by and between DISH Media, Rainbow Programming, Rainbow Media Holdings, LLC, and for the limited purposes named therein, Rainbow, Rainbow Media Enterprises, Inc. and DISH (the “Interest Transfer Agreement”), and upon such
