        4.    CONTENT OF THE SERVICE:    

        (a)    Content Description.    The programming on the Service shall consist exclusively of: news, information and
lifestyle programming aimed at the 18-34 year old audience focusing on the latest in young adult culture, including, without limitation, technology, fashion, television, music,
videogames, environment, finance, politics and spirituality. Network represents and warrants that the foregoing content description is the most restrictive content description that it has in its
agreements with all Other Distributors. For clarity, Network acknowledges and agrees that content description is a material term as such term is referenced in Section 13 below and further that
EchoStar shall be entitled to the benefit of any more favorable content description afforded to any Other Distributor in accordance with Section 13 below, provided
that notwithstanding the terms of Section 13 below, EchoStar shall not be required to perform any condition in order to receive a more favorable content description. 

        (b)    Content Limitations.    Network agrees that the Service (including any advertising contained in the Service)
will not contain [*] 

        (c)    Repetition Limitation.    At least [*] of the hours of the programming on the Service
each day shall be original programming distributed exclusively on the Service. 

        (d)    Advertising Restrictions.    The Service shall not contain more than [*] of commercial
advertising time during any one hour period, which [*] shall include any Avails (as defined below). [*] In addition, Network agrees that the Service
shall not contain any promotions or advertisements for any other television video programming service (including any programming service affiliated or associated with Network) unless EchoStar
distributes the other service via the Distribution System. The Service shall not include any advertising or messages which in any way disparages EchoStar, any Affiliate of EchoStar or the Distribution
System (either generically as satellite technology or specifically as DISH Network or any successor brand). The Service shall not include any calls to action or similar messages, prompts or triggers
with respect to information embedded in or around the Signal that EchoStar has not agreed to in advance and in writing. Network agrees that the Service will not air any promotional spot (whether alone
or in conjunction with any other person or entity) indicating that any other method of video distribution offers a service not available on the Distribution System. Except as specifically provided
herein, Network shall not black out any programming that airs on the Service and the Service shall not include any programming for which Network seeks a surcharge or additional fee of any kind. In
addition to and without limiting any other rights and remedies EchoStar may have, EchoStar shall have the right to preempt and replace any material that violates this subsection or any other provision
of this Agreement in any way. 

        (e)    Second Service.    Network agrees that it will not use the Service to nest or incubate another programming
service within the Service (a "Second Service"), nor will it "clone" the Service into a Second Service by duplicating the programming on the Service and
distributing it on such Second Service. If Network breaches the foregoing provision, then in addition to and without limiting any other remedies at law or in equity, EchoStar shall have the right to
carry the Second Service on terms that are no less favorable to EchoStar than those granted to any other distributor of such Second Service. For clarity, such second service MFN treatment shall in any
event comply with the provisions of Section 13 below. EchoStar shall have no obligation to carry or transmit a Second Service.

        (f)    Direct On-Air Programming Restrictions.    Without the prior written consent of EchoStar, the
Service may not contain Direct On-Air Sales Programming (as defined below). If, for any reason, the Service contains Direct On-Air Sales Programming, in addition to any other
rights EchoStar may have under this Agreement, EchoStar shall have the right to preempt any or all of the Direct On-Air Sales Programming and insert its own Direct On-Air Sales
Programming or other programming during any time slots which contain such materials. EchoStar shall have the right to retain all proceeds associated with its sale and/or use of Direct
On-Air Sales Programming time. Additionally, and without limiting any other rights or remedies of EchoStar, if EchoStar does not preempt Network's Direct On-Air Sales
Programming, Network shall pay to EchoStar (i) [*] of all Net Sales (as defined below) or (ii) [*] of the compensation received by Network
from a third party for the purchase of Direct On-Air Sales Programming time on the Service based on the amount of time purchased by such third party. Where there is more than one
distributor of the Service receiving a portion of Net Sales (at least one of which is EchoStar), EchoStar shall receive a [*]. Likewise, if Network is compensated by a third
party for the purchase of Direct On-Air Sales Programming time on the Service and such
Direct On-Air Sales Programming is distributed by two (2) or more distributors of the Service (at least one of which is EchoStar), then Network shall allocate the compensation
otherwise payable to EchoStar pursuant to (ii) above between or among such distributors based on the percentage of subscribers to the Service that are served by each such distributor. Network
shall pay such sums monthly to EchoStar within forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of the applicable month, and EchoStar shall have the right to audit Network's books and
records relating to such proceeds in accordance with the "Reports; Audits" section of this Agreement. "Net Sales" means all amounts received by Network
on account of time on the Service used for Direct On-Air Sales Programming less taxes and freight charges actually incurred by Network. "Direct On-Air
Sales Programming" means [*]; provided, that Direct On-Air Sales Programming shall not
include Network's regularly scheduled commercial announcement time (i.e., the commercial announcements distributed throughout the Service during other programming that are generally thirty
(30) seconds or less in length and primarily used for promotional announcements or third party advertising of products and services, including those that are directly sold to the viewer during
such commercial announcements). [*] 

        (g)    Avails.    Network shall provide to EchoStar not less than [*] of commercial
advertising time on the Service each hour during each calendar day of the Term (the "Avails"). EchoStar shall have the right to use the Avails as it
chooses in its sole and exclusive discretion (including, but not limited to the sale of the Avails to third parties subject to Network's advertising policy attached hereto as Exhibit B and
incorporated herein by this reference). EchoStar will comply with Network's advertising policy, except that EchoStar's Avails will not be pre-emptible by Network.
[*] Network agrees that all Avails shall be evenly distributed throughout each and every hour of the Service on a twenty-four (24) hour basis, shall not
occur between the actual or apparent end of one program and the actual or apparent beginning of another program and shall receive equal treatment with respect to placement in major events or highly
publicized programming that is included in the Service. If Network increases the total amount of commercial announcement time on the Service to more than [*] per hour, then
EchoStar shall receive [*] of the increase (rounded to the next highest thirty (30) second interval) and every increase thereafter. EchoStar and its Affiliates shall
have the right to retain all of the proceeds derived from the sale of the Avails. Network shall provide EchoStar with industry standard cue tones to signal and enable EchoStar's use of the Avails.

        (h)    Same Programming.    Network represents, warrants and covenants that, during the Term, the programming on the
Service, as delivered to EchoStar at all points in time, shall be the same as the programming delivered by Network to all Other Distributors at those points in time. If it is not, then, in addition to
and without limiting any other rights and remedies EchoStar may have, EchoStar shall have the unconditional right to receive and distribute, at no extra cost whatsoever, the programming included in
the Service that Network is providing to Other Distributors, and Network shall ensure that that programming is delivered to EchoStar in accordance with the delivery terms contained in this Agreement.
EchoStar shall have the right to distribute any and all additional feeds of the Service (including, without limitation, any additional time zone feeds or secondary audio programming feeds but
excluding high definition feeds) as a part of any package or level of service at no additional cost. Any Subscriber receiving multiple feeds (other than a high definition feed) of the Service shall be
counted as only one (1) Service Subscriber for purposes of payment by EchoStar. 

        (i)    Closed Captioning and Program Rating Information.    Network represents, warrants and covenants that it shall,
at its sole expense, include as part of the Signal closed-captioning information, ratings data and any other materials to the full extent required by any current or future federal, state or local law,
rule or regulation (collectively, the "Law") and to the extent required to ensure that EchoStar is in compliance with the Law regardless of whether the
Law now or in the future imposes the obligation to include closed captioning information on Network, EchoStar or a third party. This includes, without limitation, meeting any and all benchmarks for
captioning programming, including without limitation foreign language programming, as set forth in 47 CFR 79.1 of the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission
("FCC") as amended from time to time (the law and the regulations collectively referred to as the "Closed Captioning
Requirements"). Network also agrees to cooperate with EchoStar to the extent necessary to establish compliance with the Closed Captioning Requirements. Network shall use its
best efforts to provide complete, accurate and timely program rating data to EchoStar's designated data provider (currently Tribune Media Systems), as that data provider may be changed from time to
time. For standard definition, such data shall be delivered in accordance with CEA 608-C. For high definition, Network shall (i) provide CEA 608-C compatibility data
within CEA-708-B structures as described in CEA 708-B, including closed caption and parental rating information and (ii) ensure that the bandwidth allocated
for CEA 708-B closed caption data does not exceed 20 kbps. Network acknowledges and agrees that neither EchoStar, nor any of its Affiliates, shall have any liability in connection with
Network's failure to prepare, insert or include closed-captioning information, as applicable, in the Service as required by this subsection or the Law. Network shall indemnify, defend and forever hold
harmless EchoStar, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, shareholders, directors, employees, partners and agents, as provided in the "Indemnification" section of this Agreement,
against and from any and all costs (including without limitation any costs of preparing and including closed-captioning and program rating data in the Service), damages and expenses (including without
limitation fines, forfeitures, FCC enforcement actions and associated costs, attorneys' fees, disbursements and court or administrative costs) arising out of Network's breach of this subsection. 

        (j)    Children's Television.    Network represents, warrants and covenants that the Service complies, and will
continue to comply, in all respects with the commercial matter limitations of the Children's Television Act of 1990, and the regulations of the FCC promulgated under that Act from time to time, as
amended from time to time, to the extent that they apply to EchoStar, (the law and the regulations collectively referred to as the "Children's Television
Requirements"). Network shall provide to EchoStar all records necessary for EchoStar to timely demonstrate its compliance with the Children's Television Requirements. 

6

 

        (k)    Other Laws.    In the event that any programming on the Service is regulated by any Law other than the Closed
Captioning Requirements and the Children's Television Requirements that is applicable to EchoStar or its Affiliates, then Network shall comply with the Law, ensure that the Service complies with the
Law and provide EchoStar with all documents reasonably necessary for EchoStar to demonstrate compliance with the Law in a timely manner. 

        [*]   

        (m)    Content Deviation.    If for any reason EchoStar, in good faith, determines that the Service
(i) includes programming prohibited by this "Content of the Service" section and/or (ii) does not include programming of at least the quantity, quality, type and content as required by
this "Content of the Service" section or any other provision of the Agreement (a "Content Deviation"), EchoStar shall provide Network with written
notice stating the basis of the Content Deviation. If the Content Deviation is not cured to EchoStar's satisfaction within thirty (30) calendar days after the date that the notice was given,
EchoStar shall have the right, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it in this Agreement, at law or in equity but not the obligation, at its sole option to: (A) discontinue
distribution of the Service; (B) preempt the deviating and/or prohibited programming; and/or (C) receive credit against the Fees in the proportion that the hours (or portion thereof) of
programming each day which is either prohibited or deviates from the programming required bears to the total hours the Service is transmitted each day, which credit shall be applied against the Fees
determined by EchoStar in its sole discretion; provided, that Network agrees and acknowledges that there are certain breaches which are incapable of
being cured and are therefore not subject to the thirty (30) day cure period. 

        (n)    Certificate of Compliance.    Within thirty (30) days after the last day of each calendar year during
the Term, or upon written request by EchoStar at any time during the Term, Network shall deliver to EchoStar written certificate of its compliance or non-compliance (as the case may be)
with this "Content of the Service" section of the Agreement signed by Network's Chief Financial Officer. The certification shall also include a description of the means and mechanisms Network used to
determine whether it has complied or failed to comply with the "Content of the Service" section of this Agreement. 

        (o)    Remedies.    Network acknowledges that compliance with the "Content of the Service" section of this Agreement
is material to this Agreement, and that any remedial measure specified in this Agreement is bargained for, not as a penalty but rather as a reasonable allocation of damages which would otherwise be
difficult to ascertain. Any remedy specified in this "Content of the Service" section of the Agreement shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or legal or equitable remedies
EchoStar may otherwise have. 

        5.    DELIVERY AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE SERVICE:    

        (a)    EchoStar's Distribution Obligation.    Subject to Network's compliance with the Signal delivery obligations
contained in this Agreement, EchoStar shall launch and carry the Service [*] The actual date on which the Service is launched shall be called the
"Launch Date." EchoStar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to launch the Service in accordance with the foregoing on or before February 1,
2007. So long as EchoStar carries the Service in accordance with the foregoing, it shall also have the right to distribute the Service in incremental tiers and packages in its discretion and on an
a-la-carte basis at no additional charge.

        (b)    Delivery by Network.    

        (i)    Delivery of Signal.    Network shall, at its own cost and expense, deliver to EchoStar the Signal (i) at
a high level of video and audio quality; (ii) at a minimum, at a technical quality comparable to that of signals delivered by other programming services that are carried by EchoStar in the same
levels or tiers as the Service; (iii) in compliance with EchoStar's reasonable technical requirements; and (iv) in
compliance with industry standards, to the Facility and all other locations within the Territory designated by EchoStar in its sole discretion. Network shall, at its own cost and expense,
(A) deliver the Signal using a domestic communications satellite commonly used for the transmission of pay television programming which is receivable at all times during the Term by the
Facility without additional expense to EchoStar; (B) fully encode and scramble the Signal using technology, standards, practices and procedures which are generally accepted throughout the pay
television industry; and (C) either have in place appropriate back-up transponder space on a second domestic communications satellite or a reserve back-up fiber optic
link to the Facility so that, in the event of a failure of the first satellite or fiber optic link, delivery of the Service to the Facility shall not be interrupted or discontinued. At least forty
five (45) days in advance of the Launch Date, Network shall deliver to EchoStar both the Signal and primary and secondary integrated receiver decoders
("IRDs") capable of decoding the Service. Network agrees and acknowledges that EchoStar's launch and distribution of the Service is expressly contingent
upon Network providing the IRDs and EchoStar having the forty five (45) day period to test the Signal. The Signal shall be deemed delivered to EchoStar when received in a form technically
acceptable to EchoStar. EchoStar agrees and acknowledges that Network has timely delivered to EchoStar the Signal and IRDs. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this "Delivery by Network"
subsection or any other part of the Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred with respect to reception of the Service from the satellite by the Facility and its distribution to Service Subscribers
shall be borne by EchoStar. 

        (ii)    Change in Delivery.    In the event Network changes the satellite or encryption technology or otherwise
modifies the Signal in such a manner that the Signal cannot be received or used by EchoStar or its Affiliates as required by this Agreement (a "Delivery
Change"), then Network unconditionally agrees to promptly reimburse EchoStar for any reasonable and direct costs to acquire and install the necessary equipment to receive
and/or use the Signal, which amount shall be payable by Network within thirty (30) days after receipt by Network of an invoice from EchoStar. Network agrees to provide EchoStar with at least
ninety (90) days' prior written notice of a Delivery Change; provided that, if a satellite change is the result of a Force Majeure (as defined in
the "Force Majeure" section of this Agreement), Network shall provide EchoStar with written notice as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Network makes a Delivery Change
to a satellite or technology commonly used for the transmission of pay television programming, Network shall be required to reimburse EchoStar for only a pro rata portion of such costs, if any, which
pro rata portion shall be determined by multiplying the total amount of such reasonable and direct costs by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of channels included in the Service
(which could be one or more), and the denominator of which shall be the number of cable programming services received and distributed by EchoStar that are available on the new satellite. 

8

 

        (c)    Delivery by EchoStar.    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Service shall be exhibited in its
entirety to Service Subscribers. Network acknowledges that EchoStar or its Affiliates may digitize, compress and encode the Signal, provided such digitizing, compression and encoding does not
materially alter the quality of the Signal as reasonably discerned by the average viewer and that, on occasion, the Distribution System may be down for limited periods of time for maintenance. Neither
such digitizing, compression and encoding, nor such maintenance downtime shall be deemed a
prohibited interruption or alteration of the Service. EchoStar may provide Service Subscribers with, and provide the Service using, VCR or PVR-like functionality with respect to Service
programming. For clarity, any restrictions on EchoStar contained in this Agreement shall only apply to EchoStar as a distributor of the Service in its capacity as a distributor of the Service
(including without limitation with respect to the provision of IRDs and digital video recorders ("DVRs") to Subscribers), and shall not in any way
inhibit EchoStar as a consumer electronics manufacturer. 

        (d)    Reservation of Rights to Bandwidth.    Network represents and warrants that other than the principal video and
accompanying audio portions of the Signal (the "Primary Signal"), including without limitation any portions of the bandwidth that may be created or made
useable as a result of the digitization or compression of the Signal, not all of the signal distribution capacity contained within the bandwidth of the Signal is essential to or a part of the Service
or necessary to the delivery or distribution of the Service. EchoStar reserves all rights in and to, and reserves all rights to use, such nonessential bandwidth of the Signal including without
limitation, audio sub-carriers and all lines of the vertical blanking interval ("VBI") (and/or its digital equivalent) from the Facility
through to Service Subscribers. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict EchoStar from using any and all of the bandwidth of the Signal from the Facility through to Service Subscribers by
any means or for any purpose so long as the use does not materially degrade or interfere with the quality of the Primary Signal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EchoStar shall transmit to Service
Subscribers all data or information that the FCC or any applicable Law requires EchoStar to transmit ("Required Materials") in a format reasonably
specified by EchoStar. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, EchoStar shall have the right, but not the obligation to distribute any material, information, data,
images, sounds or features contained or embedded in or around any portion of the feed provided to EchoStar for the Signal that is not part of the Primary Signal or part of the Required Materials. 

        (e)    Embedding.    Network shall not embed any information, data, images, sounds or features into or around any
portion of the Signal (collectively, "Embedded Information") that is not related to the Service. Network agrees that it shall not include any Embedded
Information that cannot be removed and/or blocked by the Distribution System using equipment then-existing and available at the Facility. Network hereby consents to such removal and
blocking, and agrees to provide to EchoStar assistance and information reasonably requested by EchoStar with respect to the removal and/or blocking, as long as the removal and/or blocking will not
remove, block, interfere with or impede in any way the Primary Signal or the Required Materials. If the equipment required for removal or blocking is commonly used in the cable television industry by
DBS providers, EchoStar shall be responsible for obtaining the equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Network agrees that, other than Required Materials, it shall not include any Embedded
Information that would impede, interfere with or degrade the function of any hardware, software, firmware or any other equipment or device used by EchoStar or degrade the Primary Signal. Network
acknowledges that Nielsen's video based measurement system may cause minimal degradation to the Primary Signal that may be perceptible to Service Subscribers, and agrees that it shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to transition to the Nielsen audio based measurement system or a similar system that does not degrade the Primary Signal. Network represents that, other than the Required Materials,
it is not currently engaged in embedding any Embedded Materials, and Network agrees that is shall provide EchoStar with ninety (90) days' advance written notice (or such shorter time 

9

 

as
is practicable under the circumstances) of its intention to embed any Embedded Materials prior to commencement of such embedding, which notice shall describe with specificity the information
Network intends to embed and the technical placement of the information within the Signal. Further, Network agrees that after commencement of the embedding, it shall provide EchoStar with at least one
hundred twenty (120) days' advance written notice (or, if shorter, the maximum length of time that is practicable under the circumstances) of its intention to change any of the Embedded
Materials and/or the technical placement of the Embedded Materials within the Signal. 

        (f)    Video on Demand.    

        (i)    VOD Content.    "VOD Content" shall be defined as specific
programming from the Service, or as otherwise provided by Network, to be transmitted to a Subscriber, at such Subscriber's request, with the exhibition of any such program occurring following such
Subscriber's request. Subject to (and not in limitation of) EchoStar's [*], each month during the Term Network shall make available to EchoStar for delivery via video on
demand, the greater of (A) [*] of programming from the Service or (B) [*] that Network provides to any Other Distributor ("VOD Content").
Network shall refresh [*] of the VOD Content weekly. EchoStar shall have the right, but not the obligation, to distribute any or all of the VOD Content to its Subscribers.
[*] For purposes of this Agreement, "VOD Gross Revenues" means the aggregate amount of the specific incremental fees received by
EchoStar from Subscribers in connection with the viewing of the VOD Content (for clarity, this shall not include fees such as enabling fees, access fees and set top box fees), but shall not include
any amounts collected by EchoStar in connection with taxes, assessments, or other fees imposed by applicable authorities related in any way to the VOD Content or EchoStar's transmission or
distribution of the VOD Content. "VOD Net Revenues" with respect to VOD Content means VOD Gross Revenues less: (i) all applicable music
performance rights and royalty payments (payable to ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and any other applicable
music performance rights society) paid or payable by EchoStar in connection with the VOD Content; (ii) any credit, or refund given by EchoStar, in its sole discretion, to a Subscriber in
connection with the VOD Content; (iii) any Subscriber charges for orders placed by telephone or the Internet, automatic number identification, or any other service provided by EchoStar in
connection with Subscriber ordering of or payment for the viewing of the VOD Content (but not for ordering the VOD Content directly through a set top box); and (iv) Content Distribution Costs
which shall not exceed [*]. "Content Distribution Costs" means all costs incurred by EchoStar in connection with any content
management or distribution services in connection with the VOD Content, including without limitation encoding, encryption, storage, and/or transport costs. 

        (ii)    VOD Content Information.    Network shall provide to EchoStar's designated data provider, as that data
provider may be changed from time to time, (currently Tribune Media Systems) complete, accurate and timely program schedules and program rating data with respect to the VOD Content not less than
30 days in advance of the air date but in no event later than Network provides such data to any Other Distributor. In addition, Network shall provide to TV Guide Data Solutions, Inc. (a
subsidiary of Gemstar-TV Guide International, Inc.) and TV Data (a subsidiary of Tribune Media Services, Inc.) the metadata information necessary to allow these entities to
provide a materially accurate description of programming included in the VOD Content, which information will be provided in the metadata file that is provided with the VOD Content.

        (iii)    VOD Advertising.    EchoStar shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether the VOD Content shall include
advertising time ("VOD Advertising"). If EchoStar decides to distribute advertising as a part of the VOD Content, EchoStar shall have the right, either
itself or through its agents, to sell [*] of the VOD Advertising and Network shall have the right, either itself or through its agents, to sell [*] of
the VOD Advertising. Each party shall retain one hundred percent of the revenue derived from its VOD Advertising. All VOD Advertising sold hereunder shall comply with the terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement, including without limitation the requirements contained in "Advertising Restrictions" subsection of the "Content of the Services" section of this Agreement. 

        (iv)    VOD Content Payments.    Any amounts to be paid by either party to the other pursuant to this Video on Demand"
subsection of the "Delivery and Distribution of the Services" section of this Agreement shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the end of the calendar month during which such amount is
received by the paying party 

        6.    FEES:    

        (a)    The Fees.    In consideration of and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, EchoStar
shall pay to Network, on a monthly basis, the fees specified in Exhibit A (the "Fees") for each
Service Subscriber that receives the Service, which Fees shall be payable as set forth in this Agreement. 

        (b)    Service Subscribers.    For purposes of the calculation of Fees, the number of Service Subscribers (per each
level of packaging, as applicable) shall be calculated by (i) taking the sum of the number of Service Subscribers as of the last day of the applicable Reporting Period and the number of Service
Subscribers as of the last day of the immediately preceding Reporting Period and (ii) dividing that sum by two (2). For purposes of this Agreement, "Reporting
Period" shall mean the period of time between the 22nd day of one calendar month and the 21st day of the following calendar month, as such period may change from
time to time in EchoStar's sole judgment. Each residential or commercial unit shall be counted as a single subscriber regardless of the number of integrated receiver-decoders within the unit. Except
in the case of a Bulk Bill Arrangement, unoccupied residential locations shall not constitute Service Subscribers. 

        (c)    Bulk Bill Arrangements.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that EchoStar or a Subdistributor
distributes the Service on a bulk bill basis (a "Bulk Bill Arrangement"), the number of Service Subscribers for which EchoStar shall pay Network in
accordance with Exhibit A shall be calculated by dividing (A) the total monthly retail rate EchoStar is paid in connection with the Bulk
Bill Arrangement for the Service or for the package of services in which the Service is distributed by (B) the residential monthly retail rate a non-bulk rate Subscriber is charged
by EchoStar for the Service or for the same package of services; provided, that in no event will EchoStar pay more than if all of the units subject to
the Bulk Bill Arrangement were subject to the regular Fee as set forth in Exhibit A. If there is no residential monthly retail rate that a
non-bulk subscriber is charged by EchoStar for the Service or same package of services that is provided pursuant to the Bulk Bill Arrangement, the number of Service Subscribers for which
EchoStar shall pay Network in accordance with Exhibit A shall be [*] of the total number of units in the
multi-unit development. EchoStar reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion whether a multi-unit development is subject to a Bulk Bill Arrangement.

        (d)    Free Subscribers.    [*] Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event EchoStar charges a
specific incremental amount for the Service (i.e. not a general amount associated broadly, but a unique charge specifically attributable to the Service as distributed using multiplatform
technologies) (a "Multiplatform Programming Price") to subscribers who receive the Service through more than one distribution technology ("Multiplatform Subscribers"), EchoStar shall pay Network an
incremental fee calculated by dividing (A) the Multiplatform Programming Price by (B) the residential monthly retail rate a Subscriber is charged by EchoStar for the Service and
multiplying by the regular Fee as set forth in Exhibit A provided that in no event shall Network receive [*] with respect
to each Multiplatform Subscriber. 

        (e)    Payment.    The Fees (including with respect to VOD Content) shall be due and payable no later than sixty
(60) days after the end of each calendar month during which the applicable Reporting Period ends. EchoStar shall make payment by check made payable to Network sent by ordinary mail to the
address set forth for payments on Exhibit A or by any other method chosen by EchoStar. The payment of Fees shall be prorated for any partial
Reporting Period during the Term. 

        (f)    Free Preview.    EchoStar shall have the right from time to time to offer the Service free of charge to Service
Subscribers or potential Service Subscribers (i) for up to [*] or (ii) for up to [*] (collectively, "Free
Promotions"). EchoStar shall not be obligated to pay any Fees for Service Subscribers who are receiving Free Promotions. [*] 

        7.    REPORTS; AUDITS:    

        (a)    Reports.    No later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each Reporting Period during
the Term, EchoStar shall deliver to Network a report setting forth: (i) the number of Service Subscribers for the applicable Reporting Period; and (ii) the Fees payable for the Reporting
Period. 

        (b)    Network's Audit Rights.    EchoStar agrees to keep and maintain accurate books and records of the number of
Service Subscribers and the payment of Fees. During the Term and for one (1) year thereafter, Network shall have the right, upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice, and at
Network's expense, to conduct an audit of EchoStar's books and records that are reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the Fees paid by EchoStar;  provided, that the audited books and records
shall be limited to Service Subscriber counts and payment records relating directly to Network or the
Service. The audit shall be conducted by an independent nationally-recognized certified public accounting firm approved by EchoStar, and the audit firm shall execute a non-disclosure
agreement acceptable to EchoStar. Any audit shall be conducted during EchoStar's regular business hours (such hours to be determined in EchoStar's sole discretion) at EchoStar's office where the
records are regularly maintained. Network's right to perform an audit shall be limited to once in any consecutive twelve (12)-month period, and Network shall not be entitled to audit for any
particular time period more than once unless, in each instance, specific follow-up audits are required because of a bona fide dispute. Any audit shall be limited to the books and records
of the preceding and current year only. All EchoStar reports, books and records, and the results of any audit, shall be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of the "Confidentiality" section of
this Agreement. Network shall submit any claims of non-compliance as a result of an audit to EchoStar in writing within the earlier of (A) three (3) months after the auditors
leave EchoStar's offices or (B) twenty-four (24) months after the close of the earliest month that is the subject of the claim, or else Network shall have waived its right,
whether known or unknown, to collect any shortfall. Any claim as a result of an audit shall be limited to the current year and the immediate preceding year. [*]

        (c)    EchoStar's Audit Rights.    Network agrees to keep and maintain accurate books and records with respect to its
performance under this Agreement and its relationships with Other Distributors for the period of time during which Network is providing the Service to such Other Distributors and for a period of one
(1) year thereafter. In order to verify Network's compliance with and/or to determine whether Network has given full effect to the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation the
"Content of the Service" and the "Most Favored Nations" sections), during the Term and for one (1) year thereafter, EchoStar may, upon sixty (60) days written notice and at EchoStar's
expense, during Network's regular business hours (such hours to be determined in Network's sole discretion) at
Network's office where records are regularly maintained, audit all books and records relating to such obligations. EchoStar's right to perform the audit shall be limited to once in any consecutive
twelve (12)-month period. Any audit with respect to Section 13 below (i.e. audits which require the use of third party contracts which are subject to confidentiality restrictions) shall
be conducted by a nationally recognized public accounting firm or other outside consultant approved by Network, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, qualified or delayed (each, an
"Independent Auditor"). If the audit is conducted by an Independent Auditor and, as a result of the audit, the Independent Auditor determines that
Network has fully complied with the "Most Favored Nations" section of the Agreement, then the Independent Auditor shall provide written notice to the parties stating only that Network has complied.
If, as a result of the audit, the Independent Auditor determines that Network has failed to comply with the "Most Favored Nations" section of the Agreement, then Network shall either (A) grant
to EchoStar, retroactively, the benefit of the provision which has been violated or (B) if Network has a bona fide dispute as to the findings of the Independent Auditor, authorize the
Independent Auditor to provide to EchoStar only that limited information acquired during the course of the audit that is necessary for EchoStar to pursue its claim or claims related to Network's
non-compliance. Any nonessential information shall not be disclosed to EchoStar by the Independent Auditor and shall remain strictly confidential. Under no circumstances, other than the
limited circumstance set forth in the prior sentence, shall any information acquired during the course of the audit be disclosed to EchoStar by the Independent Auditor. In the event any audit
determines that Network has breached an obligation in the "Most Favored Nations" section of this Agreement, or materially breached any other provision of the Agreement, then Network shall bear the
cost of the audit. For clarity, the auditor conditions contained in this "Audit By EchoStar" subsection of this Agreement shall not apply to an audit conducted by EchoStar to verify compliance with
any other obligation arising from this Agreement which does not require the use of third party confidential information. Any audit shall be subject to the "Confidentiality" section of this Agreement.

        8.    MARKETING AND USE OF MARKS:    

        (a)    Network Marks.    Network hereby licenses to EchoStar, and EchoStar shall have the right to use, Network Marks
(as defined below) to promote the Service and the Distribution System. Additionally, EchoStar shall have the right to provide Network Marks to its third party retail distribution network as well as
third parties who are selling the Service by or through EchoStar (including by way of example but not limitation, Sub-distributors and co-branding partners). EchoStar
acknowledges that the name and mark "Current. .. ." and any other of Network's names, trade names, service marks, trademarks and/or logos (including, without limitation, the names, titles or logos of
certain programs that appear in the Service and any subsequently selected names or marks for the Service) (collectively, the "Network Marks") are the
exclusive property of Network and its suppliers and that EchoStar has not and will not acquire any proprietary rights in the Network Marks other than as set forth in this Agreement. Except as provided
in this Agreement, EchoStar shall at no time adopt or use, without Network's prior written consent, any variation of the Network Marks, or any work or mark likely to be similar to or confused with a
Network Mark. Any and all goodwill arising from EchoStar's use of the Network Marks shall inure solely to the benefit of Network. EchoStar shall submit to Network for approval any of EchoStar's
promotional materials mentioning or using the Network Marks (other than materials provided by Network to EchoStar, if any) which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If
Network fails to disapprove such promotional materials within five (5) business days of delivery by EchoStar, then Network shall be deemed to have approved the submitted materials. Uses of the
Network Marks in routine promotional materials such as program guides, program listings and bill stuffers, or in a manner previously approved by Network, shall be deemed approved for all subsequent
uses unless Network specifically notifies EchoStar to the contrary. 

        (b)    EchoStar Marks.    Subject to this subsection of the Agreement, Network shall have the limited right to use
EchoStar Marks (as defined below) to promote the Service as distributed over the Distribution System to prospective Service Subscribers in the Territory. Subject to the terms and conditions contained
in this Agreement, EchoStar agrees to permit Network to use EchoStar's name, trade name, service marks, trademarks, and logos ("EchoStar Marks") to
market the Services to potential Service Subscribers; provided, that any such use is subject to EchoStar's prior written approval with respect to each
and every use. EchoStar's approval shall be deemed to have been withheld if not specifically given. Network acknowledges and agrees that the name, trade name and service mark "DISH Network" and any
and all other EchoStar Marks are the exclusive property of EchoStar and its Affiliates and that Network has not and will not acquire any proprietary rights in EchoStar Marks by reason of this
Agreement or otherwise. Except as provided in this Agreement, Network shall at no time adopt or use, without EchoStar's prior written consent, any variation of the EchoStar Marks, or any work or mark
likely to be similar to or confused with the EchoStar Marks. Any and all goodwill arising from Network's use of the EchoStar Marks shall inure solely to the benefit of EchoStar. 

        (c)    Marketing by EchoStar.    Network shall provide to EchoStar, upon EchoStar's request, marketing and promotional
advice for purposes of marketing the Service. Further, Network will make available to EchoStar, upon the same terms provided to any Other Distributor, promotional, marketing and sales and other
Service-related materials related to the Service which it produces or provides to Other Distributors, and will make available to EchoStar, at prices not exceeding Network's actual cost, reasonable
quantities of any additional materials EchoStar may request. The Service shall be listed on EchoStar's electronic program guide or other navigational tools on the Distribution System.

        (e)    Clips.    EchoStar and its Affiliates and Sub-distributors, and/or any person or entity that is a
part of EchoStar's retail distribution chain, may use recorded portions of the Service, generally up to fifteen (15) seconds in length, and may create, edit, reproduce and exhibit promotional
segments or clips of the programming on the Service, for promotional and marketing purposes related to the Service and/or the Distribution System. 

        (f)    Intentionally deleted.    

        (g)    Communications.    Network acknowledges that it could cause EchoStar significant harm by the nature of
Network's communications to Subscribers and/or governmental entities whose opinions and actions could adversely affect EchoStar. Network warrants that it will not engage in any communications with
Subscribers or governmental entities without EchoStar's prior written approval if such communications could reasonably be expected to adversely interfere with EchoStar's relations with the Subscribers
or governmental entities. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, this provision shall not apply to
(i) subject to the "Advertising Restrictions" subsection of the "Content of the Services" section of this Agreement, any national advertising, promotion or marketing by Network in connection
with the Service including, without limitation, any web site operated by Network, (ii) any proceeding before any judicial body, or (iii) communications with Congress or with any other
branch or agency of the Federal government.

        (iii)  it

        (iv)  it

        (v)   it
has licensed and will be responsible to pay all copyright, royalty or other performance rights and licenses, including without limitation
"through-to-the-viewer" music performance rights for the Service and/or any other rights necessary from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and any other applicable performing rights
organizations or other applicable entities, and shall maintain all such rights and licenses throughout the Term. 

        (vi)  no
third party has or, to the best knowledge of Network, no third party has claimed, any rights which would be inconsistent with the rights granted to EchoStar in this
Agreement. 

        (vii) the
Service will not contain any material which is obscene, libelous, slanderous, indecent or defamatory, nor will it contain any material which violates or infringes
any copyright, trademark, right of privacy or literary or dramatic right or any other right of any person or entity pursuant to the Law of the United States and/or applicable to the Territory or any
portion thereof. 

        (viii)  it
is under no contractual or other legal obligation that shall in any way interfere with its full, prompt and complete performance under this Agreement. 

        (c)    EchoStar Warranties.    EchoStar represents, warrants and covenants to Network that: 

        (i)    it
presently has and will continue to have at all times during the Term all rights necessary to grant Network the right to use the EchoStar Marks as permitted hereunder. 

        (ii)   it
presently is, and will remain at all times during the Term, in material compliance with all material applicable Laws with regard to its ability to perform its
obligations under this Agreement. 

        10.    INDEMNIFICATION:    

        (a)    Network's Indemnification.    Network shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless EchoStar, its Affiliates, each
of their respective assigns, heirs, successors and legal representatives, and each of their present and future contractors, subcontractors, authorized distributors, authorized Subdistributors,
directors, members, officers, employees and agents, and each of their respective assigns, heirs successors and legal representatives (collectively, the "EchoStar
Indemnitees") from, against and with respect to any and all claims, losses, damages, lawsuits, judgments, actions, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
reasonable court costs and attorneys' fees) (collectively, "Claims") incurred in connection with or arising out of: (i) the breach or alleged
breach or default by Network of any provision contained in the Agreement; (ii) the content of the Service (including, without limitation, advertising spots and Direct On-air Sales
Programming), including, without limitation, any claims alleging that the transmission of any content is defamatory, libelous, slanderous. obscene, or violates or infringes any copyright, trademark,
right of privacy or literary, dramatic or music performance right or any other right of any person or entity; (iii) the sale or marketing of any products or services by, through or on the
Service including, without limitation, claims related to product liability, patent, trademark, copyright infringement, right of privacy or publicity, express or implied warranties, warranties relating
to compliance with Laws and personal injuries (physical, economic or otherwise), to any person who may use, consume or be affected by the products and services sold or marketed by, through or on the
Service; (iv) Network's or the Service's failure to comply with all Laws or any other failure on Network's part that causes EchoStar to violate any Law or court or administrative decree; and
(v) Network's failure to have acquired at the pertinent time when all or part of the Service is made available to Affiliate, good title to, and/or each and every property right or other right
necessary for it to satisfy the obligations imposed on it pursuant to this Agreement.; (vi) Network's advertising and marketing of the Service; (vii) Network's use of the EchoStar Marks
inconsistent with EchoStar's instructions; (viii) any other materials relating to the Service, including 

16

 

without
limitation advertising or promotional copy supplied or permitted by Network; and (ix) any interruptions in the transmission of the Service to EchoStar. 

        (b)    EchoStar's Indemnification.    EchoStar shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of Network, its
Affiliates, each of their respective assigns, heirs, successors and legal representatives, and each of their present and future directors, officers, employees and agents, (collectively, the
"Network Indemnitees") from, against and with respect to any and all Claims incurred in connection with any claim against the Network Indemnitees
arising out of: (i) the breach or default by EchoStar of any provision contained in the Agreement; and (ii) the advertising or other materials created by EchoStar and inserted in the

        (c)    Claim.    A party claiming indemnification under this section of the Agreement shall promptly notify the other
party in writing of any Claim for which indemnification is sought (an "Indemnification Claim"). The indemnifying party shall undertake the defense of
the Indemnification Claim and permit the indemnified party to participate in the defense using counsel of its choosing at the indemnifying party's expense. If, in the reasonable discretion of
EchoStar, Network fails to diligently pursue an Indemnification Claim for which it is the indemnifying party, then EchoStar may assume the control of the Indemnification Claim at Network's expense.
The indemnified party, at the indemnifying party's cost, will cooperate fully in the defense of the Indemnification Claim. The settlement of any Indemnification Claim, in whole or in part, by an
indemnified party, without the indemnifying party's
prior written consent, shall release the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder with respect to the portion of the Indemnification Claim settled. 

        11.    INSURANCE:    Network represents, warrants and covenants that it has procured and shall maintain during the
Term, at its sole expense, the following insurance coverage from insurers having at least a "Best's" rating of A-VII: (i) commercial general liability insurance providing coverage,
at a minimum, for bodily injury, death, personal injury and property damage occurring or arising out of the performance of this Agreement, premises operations, products/completed operations,
independent contractor's protective coverage and blanket contractual liability for both oral and written contracts at liability limits of not less than (A) [*] each
occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, (B) [*] in the aggregate for products/completed operations and premises operations,
(C) [*] in the aggregate for independent contractor's protective coverage and blanket contractual liability, (D) [*] in the aggregate for
personal and advertising injury and (E) [*] policy general aggregate limit; and (ii) Media Perils Liability insurance (also commonly known as broadcasters'
liability or errors and omissions) that, at a minimum, covers Network's media activities, including, without limitation, production of programming, the Service and all elements thereof and all
programming licensed or distributed by Network pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, original programming, marketing activities, sales promotions and other activities), with
coverage for, at a minimum, the offenses of defamation of character or reputation, invasion of privacy, infringement of trademark, title, slogan, trade name or service mark, infringement of copyright
or misappropriation of ideas, at a liability limit of [*] in any one (1) policy period and a maximum self-insured retention of [*] or
such other retention as agreed to by EchoStar in its sole and absolute discretion. Each insurance policy required by this section shall be endorsed to provide that (A) EchoStar and its
Affiliates are named as additional insureds, that the 

	[*]

17

 

proceeds
of the insurance policy are payable to EchoStar and that the policy provides primary and non-contributory coverage to EchoStar and its Affiliates, irrespective of any insurance
carried by EchoStar or its Affiliates, whether it be primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis; and (B) the policy provides coverage on an "occurrence," and not a
"claims-made," basis. Network shall provide to EchoStar certificates of insurance as evidence of maintenance of all insurance policies required by this section prior to or
contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement. Each certificate shall indicate that (Y) the pertinent insurance policy shall not be canceled or modified except upon delivery of thirty
(30) days' prior written notice to EchoStar and (Z) the words "pertains to all operations and projects performed on behalf of the certificate holder" are included in the description
portion of the certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Network shall not make any revisions to any policy that could materially and adversely affect EchoStar's rights without EchoStar's prior
written consent. In addition, such certificates shall indicate coverage for the entire Term, or Network shall provide to EchoStar, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any
policy, a subsequent certificate of insurance as evidence that the pertinent insurance continues in full force and effect. The fulfillment by Network of its obligations in this section shall not
relieve Network of any liability under this Agreement or in any way modify Network's obligations to indemnify EchoStar and its Affiliates. 

        12.    EARLY TERMINATION RIGHTS:    In addition to all other rights to termination specifically set forth in this
Agreement or available at law or in equity, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the other party has (a) breached any of its material obligations under this
Agreement (unless the breach is cured within the thirty (30)-day period following receipt of notice of the breach; provided, that if a
shorter or longer cure period is provided elsewhere in this Agreement for a particular breach, then such shorter or longer cure period shall apply and, in the case where immediate termination is
provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, immediate termination shall apply. Each party agrees and acknowledges that there are certain breaches which are incapable of being cured and are therefore not
subject to the thirty (30) day cure period); (b) filed a petition in bankruptcy, is insolvent, or has sought relief under any law related to its financial condition or its ability to
meet its payment obligations; or (c) had any involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against it, or any relief under any such law has been sought by any of its creditors, unless the
involuntary petition is dismissed, or the relief is denied, within thirty (30) days after it has been filed or sought. In addition to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
EchoStar shall have the immediate right to terminate this Agreement without liability upon notice to Network if delivery of the Service by Network to EchoStar is discontinued or interrupted for a
continuous period of sixty (60) days. In addition to any other rights that EchoStar may have at law or in equity, any adjudicated breach by Network of the Subscription Agreement, the
Certificate Of Designation And Preferences Of Interests To Be Represented By Special Series U Non-Voting Common Shares Of Current Media, LLC or Exhibit A thereto,
entered into between EchoStar Media Holdings Corporation and Current Media, LLC dated as of the Effective Date; shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement allowing EchoStar, at its
exclusive option, to immediately terminate this Agreement. The right to terminate in any case shall be in addition to and without limiting any other rights or remedies the terminating party may have.
For clarity, EchoStar's right to terminate this Agreement shall apply with respect to the Service on a channel per channel basis (i.e. EchoStar shall have the right to terminate the Service
with respect to a particular channel or set of channels based upon Network's breach of this Agreement as it relates to such channel or channels without terminating this Agreement in whole).

        (1)   More
Favorable Provisions. Network agrees that if, as a result of any past, current or future license or other agreement entered into with any Other Distributor, an

limitation any [*]

        (b)   [*]    If
and to the extent that Network is required to offer EchoStar the benefit of any More Favorable Term and/or Lower NESR in
accordance with subsection (a) above, then Network shall promptly[*] 

        (c)   [*]    For
purposes of this Section 13, the term "enter into" shall mean the entering into, amendment of, renewal of, or
extension of a license or other agreement, whether embodied in a written agreement or otherwise (e.g., side letters or oral or written agreements), or whether due to the refraining from the
enforcement of a provision. [*] 

        (d)   Conditions.    If
and to the extent that the grant of any More Favorable Term and/or Lower NESR [*] In order for a particular condition
to be a "Condition" it must be a condition which: [*]

        15.    CONFIDENTIALITY:    

        (a)    Confidential Information.    Neither EchoStar nor Network shall disclose (orally, in writing, by press release
or by public disclosure of any kind or otherwise) to any third party (other than their respective officers, directors and employees, in their capacity as such, and on a
need-to-know basis, and each parties' respective auditors, consultants, financial advisors, lenders, attorneys and existing and potential third-party financial investors in
Network, the Service or EchoStar, subject to a confidentiality agreement between the relevant party and such third-party financial investors) any Confidential Information except: (i) to comply
with the Law; (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the valid order of an administrative agency or a court of competent jurisdiction, in which case redacted to the greatest extent
possible, in which event the party making such disclosure shall so notify the other as promptly as practicable (and, if possible, prior
to making such disclosure) and shall seek confidential treatment of such information; (iii) in order to enforce its rights pursuant to this Agreement; or (iv) if mutually agreed to in
writing in advance by EchoStar and Network. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean all non-public information
disclosed by one party to the other in connection with this Agreement, the Service or delivery of the Service including without limitation technical information, technical or marketing tests, product
plans, and information with respect to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including its existence. Network acknowledges and agrees that any and all Subscribers shall be deemed customers of
EchoStar and that any and all information relating to Subscribers including without limitation the names, addresses, and any other personally 

	[*]

identifying
information of any Subscriber ("Subscriber Information") shall be Confidential Information. EchoStar shall have absolutely no obligation
whatsoever to (and nothing in this Agreement shall require EchoStar to) disclose Subscriber Information to Network or anybody acting on Network's behalf. If agreed to in writing by both parties in
advance, within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement, Network and EchoStar may issue, either separately or jointly, a press release or public announcement concerning this
Agreement; provided, that the content of the press release or public announcement shall be mutually agreed upon, in writing, by Network and EchoStar
prior to such release. 

        (b)    Equitable Relief.    Each party agrees that a breach of this section will 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 which damages are 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 obtain immediate injunctive relief as well as other allowable equitable relief for any breach or
potential breach of this section. The right to equitable relief will be in addition to any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, at law or in equity. 

        16.    MISCELLANEOUS:    

        (a)    Assignment.    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, in
any manner, direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise, in whole or in part, voluntarily or by operation of law without the prior express written consent of the other party; notwithstanding the
foregoing, EchoStar's consent(s) to such assignments in connection with Company financing transactions shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party shall have the
right to assign some or all of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, without obtaining the consent of the other, to (i) an Affiliate; (ii) a successor entity to its
business, whether by merger or by sale of all or substantially all of its assets or stock; (iii) any entity in which the assigning party or its Affiliates have any direct or indirect equity
investment; and (iv) any other entity directly or indirectly controlled by any of the foregoing. In the event of any valid assignment of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this
subsection, the assigning party shall be relieved of all obligations arising after the assignment, and the non-assigning party shall look solely to the assignee for enforcement of such
obligations. 

        (b)    Limitation of Liability.    NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO
THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL ECHOSTAR OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT, OCCASIONED BY ANY FAILURE TO PERFORM OR THE BREACH OF ANY OBLIGATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, WHETHER BASED ON NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE AND
WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ECHOSTAR AND ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID TO NETWORK BY ECHOSTAR DURING THE
TERM. 

        (c)    Governing Law.    This Agreement and all matters or issues collateral thereto shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Colorado, without regard to the conflict of law rules thereof. The Federal and state courts located in the State of Colorado shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any
claims, disputes, actions or suits which may arise under or out of this Agreement and each party hereby waives its right to make any claim to the contrary. 

21

 

        (d)    Relationship.    Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or implied to create a relationship of agency,
partners, affiliates, joint employers, or joint venturers. Neither party shall have the power or authority to act for the other in any manner or to create obligations or debts which would be binding
on the other. Neither party shall be responsible for any obligation of the other or be responsible for
any act or omission of the other or any employee of the other. Network shall be responsible for all wages, salaries, taxes and expenses incurred for or by its employees. Neither party shall be, or
hold itself out as, the agent of the other or as joint venturers under this Agreement. No Subscriber shall be deemed to have any privity of contract or direct contractual or other relationship with
Network and no supplier of advertising or programming or anything else included in the Service by Network shall be deemed to have any privity of contract or direct contractual or other relationship
with EchoStar by virtue of this Agreement. Network disclaims any present or future right, interest or estate in or to the transmission facilities of EchoStar and its Affiliates, such disclaimer being
to acknowledge that neither EchoStar nor its facilities are common carriers. 

        (e)    Force Majeure.    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, neither Network nor EchoStar shall
have any liability to the other or any other person or entity with respect to any failure of Network or EchoStar, as the case may be, to transmit or distribute the Service or perform its obligations
under this Agreement if the failure is due to any failure or degradation in performance of EchoStar's or Network's satellite(s) or any transponder on such satellite(s) or any failure or degradation of
the Distribution System, or of any scrambling/descrambling equipment or any other equipment owned or maintained by others (including, without limitation, EchoStar's automated billing and authorization
system), any failure at the origination and uplinking center used by Network or EchoStar (including without limitation the Facility), any labor dispute, fire, flood, riot, legal enactment, government
regulation, Act of God, or any cause beyond the reasonable control of Network or EchoStar, as the case may be (a "Force Majeure"), and such
non-performance shall be excused for the period of time such failure(s) causes non-performance; provided, however, that if
EchoStar determines in its sole discretion that it is commercially or technically unfeasible to cure a Force Majeure with respect to the Distribution System or satellite and so notifies Network, then
either party may terminate this Agreement effective upon written notice to the other party. The parties acknowledge and agree that although the Service may at any given time be uplinked to only one of
several satellites, failure or degradation in any of the satellites may require EchoStar to reduce the number of programming services available for allocation among all of the satellites, with such
reduction including, without limitation, curtailment or termination of the distribution of the Service by EchoStar, at EchoStar's sole discretion. Accordingly, EchoStar shall have no liability for its
failure to distribute the Service in the event of a failure or degradation of any of the satellites or the transponders on any such satellites, regardless of whether the satellite to which the Service
is uplinked at the time of the failure or degradation is itself the subject of the failure or degradation. If the Service is interrupted or discontinued as a result of a Force Majeure, EchoStar shall
have the right, immediately, to insert programming of its choice on the channel identified with the Service until the Service is fully operational again. Credit will be given to EchoStar on that
portion of the Service that is affected by any interruption during any Reporting Period equal to the product of (x) the Fees that would be due for the Reporting Period assuming no interruption
of the Service during the Reporting Period multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of hours that the Service is interrupted during the Reporting Period and the
denominator of which is the total number of hours that the Service would have been distributed absent the interruption(s). 

        (f)    Severability.    The invalidity under applicable Law of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity of any other provision of this Agreement. In the event that any provision in this Agreement is determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, (A) the provision shall be reformed
to the minimum extent necessary to cause the position to be valid, enforceable 

22

 

and
legal while preserving the intent of the parties as expressed in, and the benefits to the parties provided by, this Agreement or (B) if the provision cannot be so reformed, the provision
shall be severed from this Agreement and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain effective and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision
were not contained in the Agreement. 

        (g)    Survival.    Any provision of this Agreement which logically would be expected to survive termination or
expiration of the Agreement shall survive termination or expiration. In addition and not in limitation of the foregoing, all representations, warranties, covenants, indemnifications, confidentiality
obligations, audit rights and limitations of liability shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

        (h)    No Inference Against Author.    Network and EchoStar each acknowledge that this Agreement was fully negotiated
by the parties and, therefore, no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted against either party because that party or its legal representative drafted the provision. 

        (i)    Headings; References.    The titles and headings of the sections in this Agreement are for convenience only and
shall not in any way affect the interpretation of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to a "section" or an "exhibit" shall, unless the context expressly requires otherwise, be a reference
to "section" in, or an "exhibit" to this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to the singular form of a word shall automatically include the plural form of the word, if applicable, and any
reference to the plural shall include the singular, if applicable. Forms of the word "include" mean "including, without limitation;" and references to "hereunder," "herein," "hereof," and the like,
refer to this Agreement. 

        (j)    Waivers; Cumulative Remedies.    The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of any provision
of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or similar nature. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement must be in writing. All rights and remedies
reserved to either party shall be cumulative and shall not be in limitation of any other right or remedy which such party may have at law or in equity. 

        (k)    Integration.    This Agreement, together with any documents and exhibits specifically referred to in this
Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the parties to this Agreement. All exhibits referenced in this Agreement are hereby incorporated in the Agreement by this reference. This Agreement
may not be modified except in a writing executed by both parties. Except as expressly provided by this Agreement, no party shall be bound by any communications between them on the subject matter of
this Agreement unless the communication is (i) in writing, (ii) bears a date
contemporaneous with or subsequent to the date of this Agreement, and (iii) is agreed to by both parties. On execution of this Agreement, all prior agreements and understandings between the
parties shall be null and void. The parties specifically acknowledge there are no unwritten side agreements or oral agreements between the parties which alter, amend, modify or supplement this
Agreement. 

        (l)    Change in the Law.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that
any Law is changed in a way that makes any term of this Agreement illegal or unenforceable, or changes the intent (including without limitation the economic, marketing, packaging or other intent) of
any provision of this Agreement, or of this Agreement as a whole, the parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding a modification of the Agreement to account for such change in the Law. If the
parties are unable to mutually agree to a modification of the Agreement, EchoStar may, at its sole discretion, either terminate the Agreement without liability or deem the affected term eliminated
from the Agreement. 

23

 

        (m)    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original and all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 

        (n)    No Third Party Beneficiaries.    The provisions of this Agreement are for the exclusive benefit of the parties
to the Agreement and their permitted assigns, and no third party shall be a beneficiary of, or have any rights by virtue of, this Agreement. 

        (o)    Right of Offset.    EchoStar shall have the right to offset, against any payments due to Network in this
Agreement, any amounts owed by Network or any of its Affiliates to EchoStar or any of its Affiliates under this or any other agreement. 

        (p)    Payment from Service Subscriber.    Under no circumstances shall Network collect a payment directly from a
Service Subscriber for any programming or other material received by the Service Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement. If Network receives such a payment, it shall immediately forward the payment to
EchoStar. 

        The
parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED  

AFFILIATION AGREEMENT

        AFFILIATION AGREEMENT dated as of January 1, 2000 between NWI CABLE, INC., a Nevada corporation ("Network"), and TIME WARNER
CABLE, a division of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P., a Delaware partnership ("Affiliate"). 

        The
parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 

        1.    CERTAIN DEFINITIONS AND REFERENCES    

        (a)   Certain Definitions.    As used herein, the following terms have the meanings indicated: 

        "Operating
Area" means that area within the United States, the District of Columbia and the territories, possessions and commonwealths of the United States at the time of this Agreement
(the "Territory") where a System (as defined herein) is authorized by the appropriate governmental agency, authority or instrumentality (if required) to operate an audio or video distribution facility
and is operating or is obligated to operate or become operational. 

        "Service"
means the advertiser-supported cable television programming service known as Newsworld International (as defined in Section 4(a) hereunder). 

        "Service
Subscriber" means a location, including, without limitation, a dwelling (whether located in a single-family or a multi-family building), hotel, motel, bar, restaurant or other
residential or commercial location, to which the Service is distributed hereunder. The number of Service Subscribers in a multiple-dwelling complex that is billed for the Service on a bulk rate basis
shall be computed as provided in Section 6(b). 

        "Systems"
means the cable television systems or groups of cable television systems (whether designated as divisions or otherwise) which carry the Service and are listed on
Schedule 1 attached hereto, as amended from time to time by Affiliate. 

        "Time
Warner Cable System" means a cable television system (i) that is managed by a Time Warner Company (as defined herein) or (ii) of which Affiliate, Time
Warner Inc. ("TWI"), Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE"), Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse, L.P. ("TWEAN"), TWI Cable Inc. ("TWIC") or Paragon
Communications, directly or indirectly, owns or has the right to become owner of at least 25% of the equity. 

        "Time
Warner Company" means Affiliate, TWI, TWE, TWEAN, TWIC or Paragon Communications, or any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, joint stock company, association,
unincorporated organization (including a group acting in concert) or other entity of which Affiliate, TWI, TWE, TWEAN, TWIC or Paragon Communications, directly or indirectly own at least
twenty-five percent (25%) of the equity. 

        (b)   Certain References.    As used herein, references to the "Term", the "Term of this Agreement" or the "term
hereof' shall include both the Initial Term and any Renewal Term (as defined below), if any, of this Agreement, and references to "person" shall mean an individual or a corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, joint stock company, association, incorporated organization (including a group acting in concert) or other entity. 

        (c)   Computing Indirect Ownership.    For the purposes of computing the percentage of equity of an entity that is
indirectly owned by a person, the following rules shall apply: (i) the percentage of equity in each entity in the chain of ownership that is owned by another entity in such chain shall be
multiplied together; and (ii) the percentage of equity indirectly owned through different chains of ownership shall be added together. For example, assume a person owns 100% of the equity of
entity A, which, in turn, owns 50% of the equity of entity B which, in turn, owns 50% of the equity of entity C. In this case, such person owns 25% of the equity of entity C. Next, assume 

 

such
person also owns 80% of the equity of entity D which, in turn, owns 40% of the equity of entity E, which, in turn, owns 20% of the equity of entity C. In this case, such person owns an additional
6A% of the equity of entity C and a total of 31.4% of the equity of entity C. 

        2.    RIGHTS    

        (a)   Grant of Rights.    During the Term, Network hereby grants to Affiliate, and Affiliate hereby accepts from
Network: 

        (i)    the
non-exclusive right, but not the obligation, during the Term, to exhibit and distribute the Service (whether in analog and/or digital format, whether
digitized, compressed, modified, replaced or otherwise manipulated) via cable or other transmission path to any person in an Operating Area; 

        (ii)   the
non-exclusive right to exhibit and distribute the Service (whether in analog and/or digital format, whether digitized, compressed, modified, replaced or
otherwise manipulated) to satellite master antenna television systems ("SMATVs"), multipoint distribution services ("MDSs"), multichannel multipoint distribution services ("MMDSs"), equipment owned or
operated by the owners or residents of individual dwelling units for private viewing capable of receiving audio/visual signals and/or programming directly via satellite (including, without limitation,
C-Band and Ku-Band signals), as modified, manipulated, compressed or replaced now or in the future ("TVROs"), and all other methods of distributing or receiving audio/visual
signals and/or programming, excluding traditional broadcast television ("Other Distribution Methods"), in an Operating Area, in any area of a county in which an Operating Area is located and in any
county adjacent to such a county; and 

        (iii)  the
non-exclusive right to exhibit and distribute the Service nationwide to TVRO or Direct Broadcast Service ("DBS"), including tier-bit access
rights, but excluding DBS systems for which Network has a binding written distribution agreement as of the date hereof (e.g., DirecTV). 

        (b)   Sublicense and Bulk Distribution Rights.    During the Term, Affiliate shall have the right to grant
sublicenses hereunder to third-party distributors of cable television programming or services to SMATVs, MDSs, MMDSs, TVROs or Other Distribution Methods, provided, however, that any subscribers
receiving the Service pursuant to the rights granted in this Section 2(b) are counted as Service Subscribers for purposes of calculating the Fee (as defined in Section 6(a) hereunder)
payable by Affiliate to Network. During the Term, each System shall have the right to distribute the Service on a bulk rate basis to multiple-unit dwelling complexes, including, without
limitation, apartment complexes, condominiums, cooperatives, hotels and motels. 

        (c)   Addition and Deletion of Systems.    Affiliate shall have the unilateral right at any time and from time to
time, during the Term, to amend Schedule I attached hereto so as to (i) update or correct any information contained therein, (ii) delete any or all Systems listed therein and
(iii) add thereto any Time Warner Cable System; provided, however, that Affiliate shall give at least thirty (30) days' written notice to Network prior to any System deletion pursuant to
subsection (ii) hereunder. Affiliate shall delete from Schedule 1 attached hereto any cable television system then listed thereon that ceases to be (and is not then deemed under
Section 9(d) to be) a Time Warner Cable System promptly after such cessation. Each such amendment shall become effective (i) on such date as may be set forth in such notice (which date
may precede or follow the date on which such notice is given) or (ii) if such amendment relates to the addition of a cable television system that became a Time Warner Cable System by reason of
an acquisition, on the effective date of such acquisition. If a Time Warner Cable System is added to Schedule 1 attached hereto and, upon the effective date of such addition, such Time Warner
Cable System had the right to distribute the Service pursuant to another affiliation agreement with Network, then, notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in such other affiliation
agreement, as of such effective date, upon 

2

 

Affiliate's
sole and exclusive election, any then-existing agreement between Network and any third party applicable to any such System for carriage of the Service shall either remain
effective with respect to such System until the expiration of the applicable term of such then-existing agreement or terminate and cease to be effective with respect to such System as of
the date of such addition. 

        3.    TERM    

        (a)   Initial Term.    Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the "Initial Term" of this
Agreement shall be [*], commencing upon the date hereof. 

        (b)   Renewal Term.    The Term shall automatically be renewed for [*], commencing upon the
expiration o the Initial Term (the "Renewal Term"), unless (i) the Initial Term shall have been terminated in accordance with this Agreement prior to the expiration thereof or
(ii) Affiliate shall have given written notice to Network that this Agreement shall not be renewed at least ninety (90) days prior to such expiration. 

        4.    CONTENT OF THE SERVICE    

        (a)   Service.    The Service means the "NEWS WORLD INTERNATIONAL" Channel, a twenty-four
(24) hour per day, seven (7) day a week, advertiser-supported and satellite-delivered video programming service consisting solely of international news and news features providing
coverage of global events and news analysis sourced primarily from outside the United States, which at all times during the Term shall be similar (in terms of the nature, content, type, quality of
programs
and the relative quantity of different types of programs) in all material respects to the programming set forth on the program schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A. Network agrees that
(i) the Service shall not carry programming which if it had been rated, or if rated, would have received or has received a rating which could not be distributed on broadcast television or which
contains full frontal nudity; (ii) the Service shall not carry "infomercials" or home shopping programming for more than six (6) hours per day before, or four (4) hours per day
following, the "Pre-emption Date", as defined in Section 4(i) below, which may only occur between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., prevailing Eastern Time.
Network agrees that, on a quarterly basis during the Term of this Agreement, Network will send one (1) copy of its monthly program schedule, to the extent available, to Affiliate, in care of:
Director of Programming. 

        (b)   Vertical Blanking Interval.    Network retains and reserves any and all rights in and to all signal
distribution capacity contained within the analog bandwidth of the signal of the Service and/or the appropriate equivalent portion of the digital signal for the Service (including, without limitation,
an MPEG private data stream), between Network's uplink facilities and the Systems' or Affiliate's other first downlink facilities. Affiliate retains and reserves any and all rights in and to, and may
use in its sole discretion, all signal distribution capacity contained within the bandwidth of the signal of the Service between each System or other first downlink facility and the Service
Subscribers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Network uses: (i) one (1) line of the Vertical Blanking Interval or its digital equivalent ("VBI") contained within the bandwidth of the
signal of the Service for closed-captioning for the hearing impaired, (ii) one (1) or more lines of the VBI contained within the bandwidth of the signal of the Service (which number of
lines shall be limited to the minimum number of lines necessary to comply with applicable law) solely and exclusively for the transmission of data for the identification and rating of video
programming that contains sexual, violent or other indecent material in accordance with applicable law, and/or (iii) one (1) or more audio subcarrier that is required for
foreign-language second audio programming ("SAP"), then Affiliate shall transmit such closed-captioning service, identification and programming rating

data,
and/or foreign-language SAP to Service Subscribers so long as there is no charge to Affiliate, any System or any Service Subscriber for any of the foregoing. Network covenants that no other
information, service, programming, data, material or product shall be contained on the same line(s) of the VBI as any closed-captioning service, identification and rating data, and/or foreign-language
SAP. Nothing herein shall preclude Affiliate from exercising and exploiting the rights retained and reserved by Affiliate pursuant to this Section 4(b) by any means and in any locations freely
and without restriction; provided, however, that any such use by Affiliate or the Systems shall not materially degrade, or otherwise materially interfere with, the picture quality of the Service or
the principal audio portion of the signal. 

        (c)   Ownership of and Responsibility for the Service; Termination.    Network represents and warrants that it has
and will have the right to grant the rights granted herein, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, claims and encumbrances; that it has obtained and will maintain all consents, licenses,
permits, exemptions, authorizations and consents necessary to fully perform this Agreement; and that neither the Service nor any programming contained therein (i) is or will be libelous,
slanderous, obscene, defamatory or indecent or (ii) violates or infringes or will violate or infringe the civil or property rights, copyrights (including, without limitation, music
synchronization and performance rights and dramatic and non-dramatic music rights), trademark rights, patent rights or rights of privacy of any person. Notwithstanding anything contained
in this Agreement to the contrary, Affiliate shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Network at any time after Network breaches any representation or warranty set
forth in this Section 4(c); provided, however, that Affiliate shall, upon giving Network written notice of such violation, give Network thirty (30) days to cure such violation. 

        (d)   Commencing
on the date on which Affiliate first pays Fees (as defined in Section 6(a) hereunder) no less than once per day in alternating day parts, the Service
shall include the following audible message: "This programming is brought to you, in part, by fees paid by your local cable or satellite television company." 

        (e)   During
the Term, Network shall provide the Service in its entirety to Affiliate. When the phrase "in its entirety" is used in this Section 4(e), it means that the
Service, as received by any single Service Subscriber, shall, at any given point in time, be the same as the programming received by all other subscribers to the Service at such point in time. If
Network fails to provide the Service in its entirety to Affiliate (i.e., the programming received by any subscriber to the Service at a given point in time is different from the programming
received by any Service Subscriber at such point in time), then Affiliate shall have the unconditional right to elect which of such programming it desires to receive and utilize at any System, which
programming it desires to subdistribute as permitted by this Agreement, and/or which programming it will authorize for reception by Subscribers who are customers of Affiliate or an affiliate of
Affiliate. 

        (f)    At
least [*] of the programming on the Service from 7:00 p.m. to 9:59 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time, and at least
[*] of the programming on the Service from 10:00 p.m. to 6:59 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time, each day, shall be "original programming" distributed exclusively on
the Service at all times throughout the Term. For purposes of this Agreement, "original programming" shall mean (i) programming that is produced by or on behalf
of Network, (ii) programming that is significantly altered or customized or includes interstitial programming or introductory program openings and closings, in either case sufficient to "brand"
or identify the programming as a production of Network, (iii) programming that has not previously been exhibited or distributed by any other video or audio programming services distributor
within the Territory or (iv) programming available exclusively on Network. 

        (g)   If,
for any reason, including, without limitation, causes beyond the control of Network, Affiliate, in good faith, determines that the Service includes programming
prohibited in Section 4(a) or 4(i) hereof and/or does not include programming of at least the quantity, quality,

type
and content as required in Section 4(a), 4(f) and 4(i) hereof, then Affiliate may, at its option, either (i) discontinue carriage of the Service on any or all Systems and delete
such System or Systems from Schedule 1 hereof, effective at any time by giving Network thirty (30) days' prior written notice; provided, however, Affiliate shall give Network thirty
(30) days to cure such programming in violation of Section 4(a) or 4(f) hereof; or (ii) receive credit against the Fees (as defined herein) in the proportion that the hours of
programming each day that either is prohibited or deviates from the programming required herein to the total hours the Service is transmitted each day (such credit to be applied against the Fees in
any month). 

        (h)   Except
as otherwise agreed in writing, Affiliate shall not be obligated to distribute any material or information contained or embedded in or around any portion of the
feed (whether analog or digital) provided to Affiliate (the "Signal") for the Service that is not essential to and a part of the Service programming. Network further agrees that it shall not embed any
material or information into or around any portion of the Signal that cannot be removed and/or blocked at any System headend. Network further agrees that it shall provide Affiliate with written notice
of its intention to embed any information in or around such Signal prior to the commencement of such embedding or at the time of execution of this Agreement if it is presently embedding such
information. Network shall give Affiliate thirty (30) days' prior written notice if it intends to embed any material, data or information. Nothing
contained within this Section 3(h) shall be construed in any way to prohibit or restrict Network's use of the VBI consistent with and as specified in Section 4(b) hereof 

        (i)    Commencing
on the date upon which the Service is distributed to at least twenty-five million (25,000,000) subscribers (the "Pre-emption Date"),
(i) any infomercial programming included in the Service shall be subject to preemption by Affiliate in any or all Systems, in Affiliate's sole and absolute discretion, upon at least thirty
(30) days' notice to Network, and no System shall be obligated to distribute any such infomercial programming; and (ii) Affiliate shall have the right in any or all Systems to insert
programming and advertisements of its choice on the channel otherwise identified with the Service during any period that the Service contains any infomercial programming; provided, that Affiliate
shall at the beginning of any programming that it so inserts, indicate that such programming is not Service programming. Notwithstanding Affiliate's preemption rights hereunder, if Affiliate elects,
at its option, to distribute any or all of the infomercial programming included in the Service in any System(s), Network shall fully indemnify Affiliate, as provided in Section 12 hereof, for
any and all Costs (as defined herein) arising out of or relating in any way to its distribution of any such infomercial programming.

        5.    DELIVERY AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE SERVICE    

        (a)   Transmission and Reception.    Network shall, at its own expense, (i) transmit analog and/or digital
signals for the Service via a domestic communications satellite(s) commonly used for transmission of cable television programming signals, and (ii) fully encode and scramble the satellite
signal for the Service
(and shall include in such satellite signal cue tones and other data necessary to transmit the signal, utilizing technology, standards, practices and procedures that are generally accepted throughout
the cable television industry). Affiliate shall provide and operate, or cause to be provided and operated, all equipment and facilities (including earth stations and decryption devices) necessary for
the reception of such Network signal and the distribution of such signal to Service Subscribers. Network represents and covenants that no facilities or equipment are or will, during the Term, be
necessary for such reception and distribution which a cable television system operator would not otherwise use in connection with the reception and distribution of satellite signal transmitted by
widely distributed cable television programming (other than conventional decoders). 

        (b)   Network's Signal Quality.    Network shall deliver to Affiliate and/or each System and third-party distributor
of the Service hereunder a video and audio signal for the Service of a quality at least comparable to the quality of the video and audio signal then delivered by other widely distributed cable
television programmers for the appropriate type of carriage (i.e., digital or analog). 

        (c)   Affiliate's Signal Quality.    Affiliate will cause the Systems to distribute to their Service Subscribers a
video and audio signal for the Service of a quality at least comparable to the quality of the video and audio signal presently distributed by the Systems with respect to other widely distributed cable
television programming, but in no event higher than the technical quality of the video and audio signal delivered by Network hereunder. 

        (d)   Network
hereby grants Affiliate, and any affiliate of Affiliate, the right to receive the signal of the Service, to digitize, compress, modify, replace or otherwise
technologically manipulate the signal, and to transmit the signal as so altered (the "Altered Signal") to a satellite, or to locations within the continental United States designated by Affiliate (in
its sole and absolute discretion), for redistribution to terrestrial or other reception sites capable of receiving and utilizing the Altered Signal, provided that no such alteration, transmission,
redistribution, reception or other use will cause a material change in a viewer's perception of the principal video or audio presentation of the Service. Furthermore, Network shall not change the
signal of the Service in such a way as to technically or technologically defeat, or otherwise interfere with, Affiliate's, any affiliate's of Affiliate, or any System's rights under this Section. In
the event Network interferes with or otherwise prevents receipt, digitization, compression, modification, replacement, utilization or manipulation of the signal of the Service by Affiliate, any
affiliate of Affiliate, or any System pursuant to the terms of this Section 5(d), then, in addition to any other rights Affiliate may have at law or in equity, Affiliate shall have the right to
immediately delete any or all Systems from Schedule 1 of this Agreement and to immediately discontinue carriage of the Service on any or all Systems. 

        (e)   Change in Satellite.    In the event Network, at its sole and exclusive direction, changes the satellite from
which the Service is transmitted to a satellite or other transmission medium with the result that Affiliate would incur expenses in order to receive the Service after such change, Network shall
promptly reimburse such System or Systems, as the case may be, for its pro rata share of the cost to such System or Systems to acquire and install equipment necessary for such System or Systems to
continue to receive the signal of the Service (as well as the signal of other cable television programming services) from such new satellite or other transmission medium. Network agrees to provide
Affiliate with at least ninety (90) days' prior written notice of a satellite change; provided, however, that if a satellite change is the result of a force majeure event as set 

6

 

forth
in Section 10 hereof, Network agrees to provide Affiliate with written notice as soon as practicable. 

        (f)    Change in Encryption Method or Digitization.    In the event Network, at its sole and exclusive direction,
either (i) changes the technology it uses to encrypt the Service or (ii) compresses, digitizes or otherwise modifies the signal of the Service with the result that Affiliate would incur
expenses in order to receive the Services after such change, Network shall promptly reimburse such System or Systems, as the case may be, for its pro rata share of the cost to such System or Systems
to acquire and install equipment necessary for such System or Systems to descramble, receive and/or utilize the signal of the Service (as well as the signal of other cable television programming
services). Network agrees to provide Affiliate with at least ninety (90) days' prior written notice of a technology change as set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above;
provided, however, that if a technology change is the result of a force majeure event as set forth in Section 10 hereof, Network agrees to provide Affiliate with written notice as soon as
practicable. 

        (g)   Carriage.    Any System or third-party distributor of the Service that carries the Service hereunder shall
distribute the Service on a full-time basis. Any System or third-party distributor may carry the Service on a part-time basis only with the Network's prior consent; provided,
however, that, if Network has authorized or authorizes the part-time carriage of the Service by a third-party distributor, Affiliate may carry the Service on any System or distribute the
Service to any third party distributor hereunder on a part-time basis without Network's prior consent. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Systems, if any, will distribute the Service
during the hours it is carried by such Systems, without alteration, editing or delay. Network agrees that Affiliate will have complete authority to control, designate and change the channel over which
the Service is to be carried on each System. 

        (h)   Packaging.    Each System or third-party distributor of the Service may carry the Service on any level or tier
of service. 

        (i)    Reproduction Limitations.    Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(i), Affiliate shall not, and
shall not authorize other persons to, copy, tape or otherwise reproduce any part of the Service without Network's prior written authorization. Neither Affiliate nor any person distributing the Service
in accordance herewith shall be responsible or liable for home taping of all or any part of the Service by
Subscribers. This Section 5(i) does not restrict the practice of connecting its Subscribers' videotape recorders, or other devices susceptible to use for home duplication of audio or video
programming, to the facilities of a System. 

        (j)    Network
may deliver the Service to Affiliate via direct digital satellite feed, third-party digital service provider or both. Network shall not charge any fee to
Affiliate in respect of Network's delivery of the Service via such direct digital feed. Network shall pay any transport fee charged by such third-party provider in connection with delivering the
Service to Affiliate unless Affiliate elects to receive the Service solely from the third-party instead of via Network's direct digital satellite feed (if so provided by Network). In such
circumstance, Affiliate agrees to be responsible for any applicable transport fees. 

        6.    FEES    

        (a)   Monthly Fee.    For each calendar month during the Term, Affiliate shall pay to Network a fee in consideration
for the rights granted herein ("Fee" or "Fees"). The Fee for each such month shall, subject to adjustment as provided herein, be equal to the result of the multiplication of the average number of
Service Subscribers during such calendar month calculated by adding the number of Service Subscribers on the first day of the month to the number of Service Subscribers on the last day of the month
and dividing by two, by the monthly rate set forth in Schedule 2 attached hereto. 

7

 

        (b)   Bulk Billed Subscribers.    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of Service
Subscribers in a multiple-dwelling complex (including, without limitation, apartment buildings, hotels and motels) that is billed for the Service on a bulk rate basis shall equal the total monthly
bulk rate charged to such complex for the level or tier of service on which the Service is distributed to such complex divided by the standard monthly retail rate charged to a Service Subscriber who
is not billed on a bulk rate basis for such level or tier of service. 

        (c)   Other Adjustments.    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of Service
Subscribers for any month shall not include [*] or (ii) Service Subscribers who have not paid the amount that they are required to pay for the level or tier of service
on which the Service is distributed and are (if permitted by applicable law) subsequently disconnected (but in no event shall such reduction exceed five percent (5%) of the total number of Service
Subscribers). 

        (d)   Due Date.    Any undisputed Fees shall be due and payable forty-five (45) days after the end
of the pertinent calendar month during the Term. In the event of a good faith dispute regarding any Fees, no such disputed Fees shall be due or payable by Affiliate to Network, nor subject to the
recovery of prejudgment interest or the terms or conditions of Section 6(e) below, unless and until such dispute has been resolved to the satisfaction of Affiliate and Network. 

        (e)   Any
undisputed Fees and other amounts payable by Affiliate to Network or by Network to Affiliate that are unpaid within thirty (30) days after they are due and
payable shall accrue interest at one percent (1%) per month or the highest lawful rate, whichever is less, from the due date until payment is received by Network or Affiliate (as the case may be). 

        (f)    Retroactive Adjustments.    If payment of the Fees or other monies due hereunder for any month has been made
and, the amount of such payment exceeds the amount of the Fee or money that was actually due hereunder for such month (regardless of when such adjustment is made), then the payor shall have the right
to set off against any amounts then or thereafter due to, and not disputed by, the other party (or, upon demand, the recipient of such payment shall pay to the other party) an amount equal to such
excess. 

        (g)   Preview.    Affiliate shall have the right to preview the Service on any Time Warner Cable System(s) on a
full-time or part-time basis, without any obligation to pay Fees or other consideration and without having to add such Time Warner Cable System(s) to Schedule 1 attached
hereto, for a period of up to one (1) month during any twelve (12) month period in order to determine subscriber preferences within such Time Warner Cable System(s). 

        7.    REPORTS    

        (a)   Reports.    Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar month during the Term
hereof, Affiliate shall send to Network a statement setting forth the total number of Service Subscribers and such other information as may be necessary for the computation of the Fee due to Network
for such calendar month. Affiliate shall send such statement to Network together with payment of such Fee. 

        (b)   Audit Right.    Upon not less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice, Network shall have the right,
during the Term, at its cost, to examine, during normal business hours without interfering with the operation of Affiliate's business, the books and records of Affiliate that are related directly to
the Service to the extent necessary to verify the Fees due; provided, however, that such examinations shall not be conducted more frequently than once annually and that such examinations shall be
limited to matters relating to Fees payable during the then-current calendar year and the prior calendar year. Network will be deemed to have waived any and all claims that it

may
have with respect to an underpayment of Fees due unless it gives written notice of such claims to Affiliate upon the earlier of (i) two (2) years after the date on which payment of
such fees was due or (ii) within six (6) months after the conclusion of such examination. In the event the audit reveals that any amount paid by Affiliate is less than the amount which
should have been paid by Affiliate, Affiliate shall immediately pay to Network the amount of such discrepancy, plus interest on the amount of such discrepancy at the rate of one percent (1%) per month
(or, if lower, the maximum rate permitted by law) from the date on which such amount should have been paid to Network through the date on which the payment is made to Network. 

        (c)   Network
represents, covenants and warrants that the Service complies, and will continue to comply, in all respects with the commercial matter limitations of the
Children's Television Act of 1990, Public Law 101-437 (October 18, 1990) and the regulations of FCC promulgated thereunder, as the same may apply to cable television systems and
cable operators, including 47 C.F.R. §76.225 and §76.305, and as the same may be amended from time to time ("Children's Television Regulations"). Network further represents,
covenants and warrants that it will provide to Affiliate all records demonstrating such compliance under the Children's Television Regulations as are necessary for Affiliate to timely demonstrate its
compliance as a cable operator with the commercial matter limitations and record keeping requirements of the Children's Television Regulations. Network further represents, covenants and warrants that
the Service complies, and will continue to comply, with all origination cablecasting regulations of the FCC, including, but not limited to, 47 C.F.R.
§§76.205-76.221 (political equal time, personal attach, lotteries and sponsorship identification), as the same may be amended from time to time ("Origination
Cablecasting Requirements"), and that Network shall, upon request by Affiliate, provide Affiliate all necessary documentation required thereunder for Affiliate to timely meet its documentation and
public file requirements under the Origination Cablecasting Requirements. In the event that any other programming offered by the Service shall be among the kind of programming that is regulated by
federal, state or local law, as the same may apply to cable television systems, cable operators, or other non-broadcast television distributors, then Network shall, upon request by
Affiliate, provide to Affiliate all statements, records or other documents reasonably necessary for Affiliate to demonstrate timely compliance as a cable operator or distributor with such laws and
regulations. 

        8.    PROMOTION AND ADVERTISING    

        (a)   Promotion by Affiliate; Promotional Materials; Proportional Expenditures by Network. Affiliate shall use reasonable
efforts to promote, or cause the Systems to promote, the Service within the Operating Areas of the Systems. Network shall provide promotional, marketing and sales material to Affiliate and the
Systems, as available and at Network's cost. 

        (b)   Marketing Surveys and Research.    Network may from time to time undertake marketing tests and surveys, rating
polls and other research projects in connection with the Service. Network shall give prior written notice to Affiliate of the nature and scope of each such test, survey, poll or project that applies
to or involves a System. Network may not undertake marketing tests and surveys, rating polls and other research in the Systems in connection with the Service without Affiliate's prior written consent.
If Affiliate provides assistance to Network in connection with any such research, upon demand by Affiliate, Network shall reimburse Affiliate or such System for all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in connection with rendering such assistance. Network shall provide Affiliate with the results of all such tests, surveys, polls and projects. Network shall otherwise keep the results of all
research relating to a System or Systems confidential under the provisions of Section 15 hereof and shall retain the results of such research in an aggregate form only, which results do not
identify any subscriber, cable television system or cable television operator. 

9

 

        (c)   Network's Names and Marks.    Affiliate acknowledges that, between Network and Affiliate, the names and marks
Newsworld International and NWI are the exclusive property of Network, its affiliates and/or its suppliers and that Affiliate has not and will not acquire any proprietary rights therein by reason of
this Agreement Use of such names and marks in routine promotional materials, such as electronic and printed program guides and program listings, websites, and bill staffers shall be deemed approved
unless Network specifically gives written notice to Affiliate to the contrary. Nothing contained herein shall limit or restrict the right of Affiliate, the Systems or any third-party distributors of
the Service hereunder to use such names and marks (i) in connection with the exercise of its or their rights hereunder, (ii) as permitted under any other contract or agreement or
(iii) in connection with any local advertising inserted in any cable television service or programming if the sponsor of such advertisement had the right to use such names and marks therein or
otherwise than under this Agreement. 

        (d)   Pay Telephone Services.    Network shall not, without the prior written consent of Affiliate, include in the
Service any advertisements for "900" or "976" telephone services, or any other telephone services that bill a caller for placing or confirming the call (other than for the telephone company's cost of
the call). 

        (e)   Commercials.    Network shall make available to Affiliate not less than [*] of
commercial announcement time per hour of the Service to be used at Affiliate's option and control. All commercial announcement time provided to Affiliate hereunder shall be equally distributed
throughout each and every hour of the Service and in time blocks of thirty seconds, one minute or two minutes each. If the total amount of non-programming time (including Network's
advertising time, Affiliate's advertising time, promotional announcements, public service announcements and similar material) exceeds [*] per hour, the commercial announcement
time made available to Affiliate shall increase by [*] of such increase and every increase thereafter (e.g., if Network increases the total amount of
non-programming time on the Service to [*] per hour, Affiliate will receive thirty (30) seconds of additional commercial announcement time). Network shall
properly "tone-switch" via inaudible signals all commercial announcement time to enable Affiliate, the Systems and such third-party distributors to insert its or their commercial
announcements using then-standard cable television industry equipment. Affiliate's commercial announcement time during infomercial programming shall be during the terminal breaks in such
programming. 

        (f)    No Exclusivities.    Network shall not, without the prior written consent of Affiliate, grant to any person any
right to the exclusive use of commercial announcement time on the Service with respect to any type of goods, merchandise, products or services. 

        (g)   Cross Channel Promotions of Affiliated Services.    Network shall not promote, market or advertise on the
Service any other video service which is affiliated or associated with Network for more than [*] per hour other than the Service commonly known as TRIO ("Cross Promotions")
unless (i) such other service is then being distributed by the Systems on which such Cross Promotions are to appear or (ii) such Cross Promotions are paid for at arm's-length rates by
the relevant service. Network shall not promote on the Service any other then-existing cable programming service by showcasing (sometimes referred to as "nesting" or "incubating") such
service within the Service (e.g., by presenting multi-hour blocks of programming taken from such other service together with announcements that implicitly or explicitly encourage
viewers to call Network to request such other service). Network agrees that the Service will not air any promotional spot (whether alone or in conjunction with any other person) which indicates that
any other method of video distribution offers a service not available on the relevant System. Affiliate shall have the right to preempt all programming which violates the foregoing so long as
Affiliate notifies Network within three (3) days following such preemption.

any of the trade names, trademarks, copyrights, styles, slogans, titles, logos or service marks of Affiliate, TWI, TWE, TWEAN, TWIC, Paragon Communications, any other System or any other Time Warner
Company. 

        (f)    Publicity.    Network shall not have, and shall not permit its officers, directors, partners, shareholders,
employees, agents, representatives or affiliates to initiate, any oral or written communication (including, without limitation, announcements, correspondence and advertisements) with or directed to
any person (including, without limitation, the press, the public, Subscribers, the trade, and governmental and quasi-governmental agencies, authorities and instrumentalities) that (i) concerns
(A) the negotiation (or other transactions in contemplation of), termination, renewal, non-renewal or expiration of this Agreement of any other prior, then-current or
proposed agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Time Warner Company relating to the distribution of the Service or (B) any modification or amendment hereof or thereof or
(ii) would or could adversely affect relations between Affiliate, any Time Warner Company or System, on the one hand, and Service Subscribers, potential subscribers or such agencies,
authorities or instrumentalities, on the other hand, without the prior written approval of the form and content of such communication by Affiliate; provided, however, that such approval shall not be
required if such communication is required by (i) an applicable law, rule or regulation or (ii) an order of a court or governmental agency, authority or instrumentality of competent
jurisdiction; provided further, however, that, prior to communication without such approval, Network shall have given reasonable prior notice to Affiliate of such intended communication and, if
requested by Affiliate, shall have used reasonable efforts at Network's expense to obtain a protective order or similar protection for the benefit of Affiliate. In no event shall Network attempt or
permit its officers, directors, partners, shareholders, employees, agents, representatives or affiliates to interfere with such relations. Network and Affiliate hereby acknowledge that
(i) their interests are often in direct conflict, (ii) their relationship is often adversarial and (iii) Network could cause Affiliate significant harm by the nature of Network's
communications to Affiliate's Service Subscribers, subscribers or to the governmental entities or franchise or licensing authorities whose opinions and actions could adversely affect Affiliate's cable
television systems. Therefore, Network shall not initiate communications with any subscribers or franchise or licensing authorities or governmental entities in the operating area of any Time Warner
Cable Television System without Affiliate's prior written approval, and under no circumstances shall Network engage in any communications with any subscribers or franchise or licensing authority or
governmental entity in the operating area of any such Time Warner Cable System that would or could adversely interfere with Affiliate's relations with subscribers or Affiliate's relations with any
governmental entity or community in any such Operating Area. This provision shall not apply to (A) any national advertising or promotion by Network in connection with the Service,
(B) any proceeding before any judicial body or (c) communications with Congress or with any other branch or agency of the Federal government. This provision shall not prevent Network
from cablecasting "800" or "900" telephone numbers for such purposes as polling viewers, conducting contests or offering services to viewers, provided, that such activities shall not contain
communications or materials that could adversely affect Affiliate. In addition, this Section 9(f) shall not prevent Network from responding to mail received from viewers, provided, that such
responses to mail received from viewers do not include information or

that could adversely affect Affiliate. This Section 9(f) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement (regardless of the reason for such expiration or termination) for a
period of two (2) years. 

        10.    FORCE MAJEURE    Neither party shall have any liability to the other party for any
failure to perform hereunder if such failure is due to: an act of God; accident; fire; lockout; strike or other labor dispute; riot or civil commotion; act of government or governmental
instrumentality (whether federal, state or local); act of terrorism; failure of performance by a common carrier; failure in whole or in part of technical facilities; or other cause (excluding
financial inability or difficulty of any kind) beyond such party's reasonable control ("Force Majeure"); provided, however, that if such failure interrupts
(sporadically or continuously) or degrades the quality of the signal for the Service received by the Systems or third-party distributors of the Service hereunder, then, to the extent that the
interruption exceeds twenty-four (24) hours during any month, the Fee payable by Affiliate hereunder for the month during which such failure occurs shall be reduced by an amount
equal to the product of (i) the Fees that would have been due for such month, if such failure had not occurred, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number
of hours of the Service during such month that is affected by such failure (and for this purpose, the number of hours of the Service affected by sporadic interruptions or degradation in quality shall
be reasonably determined by Affiliate) and the denominator of which is the total number of hours of the Service that would have been provided during such month, if such failure had not occurred. If,
at the expiration of a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of the event causing the Force Majeure, the affected party has not resumed performance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
then the other party shall have the option of terminating this Agreement upon fifteen (15) days' written notice to the affected party. Each of Network and Affiliate shall use reasonable efforts
to remedy the cause of such interruptions or degradation as soon as possible. 

        11.    MOST FAVORED NATIONS; AUDIT RIGHTS    

        (a)   Most Favored Nations.    If, during the Term, Network has agreed, agrees to provide, or at any time provides
the Service to any third party (including directly to consumers), directly or indirectly, pursuant to any agreement, understanding or arrangement (whether oral or written, whether formal or informal,
whether now or hereafter effective, whether on a long-term or short-term basis) on any term, provision, condition, covenant, commitment, concession, commission, rebate,
allowance, fee or rate (each a "Provision" and collectively, "Provisions") that is more favorable to such other distributor than those set forth in this Agreement, Network shall
[*]. This Section 11(a) shall apply to [*]. In determining whether a Provision is more favorable, such determination shall focus on
[*]. If it is necessary to determine a net effective monthly fee per subscriber under any such agreement, understanding or arrangement (or this Agreement) for any purpose under
this Section 11(a), the net effective monthly fee per subscriber for any month thereunder (or, in the case of this Agreement, hereunder) shall be computed based on [*].

        (b)   Audit Right, Damages.    During the Term and for one year thereafter, Network shall maintain accurate and
complete books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices that, at a minimum, shall contain sufficient information to enable an auditor to verify compliance
with this Agreement. Upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice, Affiliate shall have the right, during the Term and for one year thereafter, to examine during normal business
hours those books and records of Network directly applicable to compliance with Section 11(a) above to the extent necessary to verify compliance with Section 11(a) of this Agreement;
provided, however, that such examinations shall not be conducted more frequently than once annually; further provided, that any such audit shall be conducted by any "Big 6" independent public
accounting firm or an independent auditing firm selected by Affiliate ("Independent Auditor"). Any such inspection shall be subject to the provisions of Section 15 hereof. If, as a result of an
audit, the Independent Auditor determines that Network has fully complied with Section 11(a) of this Agreement, then the Independent Auditor shall provide written notice to the parties stating
only that Network has complied. If, as a result of an audit, the Independent Auditor determines that Network has failed to comply, then the Independent Auditor shall commence good faith discussion
with Network regarding such non-compliance. In the event that after such good faith discussions, the Independent Auditor concludes that Network, in fact, has complied with
Section 11(a), then the Independent Auditor shall provide written notice to the parties stating only that Network has complied. In the event that after such good faith discussions, the
Independent Auditor concludes that Network has not complied with Section 11 (a), then Network shall have the option, at Network's sole election, either to (i) grant to Affiliate the
provision which is the subject of Section 11(a), or (ii) authorize the Independent Auditor to provide to Affiliate only that limited information acquired during the course of the audit
as is necessary for Affiliate to pursue its claim or claims related to Network's non-compliance; any information which is not so necessary shall not be disclosed to Affiliate by the
Independent Auditor and shall remain strictly confidential. Under no circumstances, other than the limited circumstance set forth in subsection (ii) above, shall any information acquired during
the course of the audit be disclosed to Affiliate by the Independent Auditor. If the Independent Auditor concludes that the amount paid by (or to) Affiliate is greater (or any amount received by
Affiliate is less) than the amount that should have been paid by Affiliate, Network shall immediately pay to Affiliate an amount equal to the cost of such examination, plus interest on the amount of
such discrepancy at the rate of 1.5% per month (or, if lower, the maximum rate permitted by law) from the date on which such amount was paid (or should have been received) by Affiliate through the
date on which payment is made by the Network. 

        (c)   Notwithstanding
anything in Section 11(a) to the contrary, so long as no consideration is paid by Network thereon, the provision contained in Network's
distribution agreements with GTE Media Ventures Incorporated ("GTE"), dated March 31, 1998, solely as the same relates to the offer and acceptance of a dual-service launch incentive
in relation to GTE's cable television systems in Clearwater/St. Petersburg, Florida, Ventura County, California, and Oahu, Hawaii, shall not obligate Network to make a similar offer to
Affiliate pursuant to Section 11). 

        (d)   No Conflicting Provision.    During the term of this Agreement and for one year thereafter, Network shall not
enter into any agreement or contract (whether oral or written) which limits or restricts, or has the effect of limiting or restricting, Affiliate's rights under Section 11(b) by reason of
provisions regarding confidentiality or non-disclosure or otherwise. 

        (e)   MFN Certification.    On each anniversary of this Agreement, Network shall provide Affiliate with a written
statement, signed by the President and the Vice President of Business Affairs of Network, certifying that Network is in compliance with this Section 11. 

14

 

        12.    INDEMNIFICATION AND OTHER REMEDIES    

        (a)   Indemnification by Network.    Network shall indemnify Affiliate, TWI, TWE, TWEAN, TWIC, Paragon
Communications, any System or any other Time Warner Company, the persons who directly own the Systems and their respective affiliates (including controlling persons and related companies), officers,
directors, shareholders, employees and agents for, and shall hold them harmless from and against, any and all losses, settlements, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, judgments,
awards, damages and liabilities (collectively, "Losses" and, individually, a "Loss") that are sustained or incurred by or asserted against any of them and that arise out of (i) any breach of
this Agreement by Network or (ii) the Service, the content thereof or programming contained therein or the delivery or distribution thereof (including, without limitation, any Loss arising out
of libel, slander, defamation, indecency, obscenity, invasion of right of privacy, or infringement or violation of copyrights, music synchronization or performance rights, dramatic or
non-dramatic music rights, trademark rights or patent rights) and shall reimburse them for any and all legal, accounting and other fees, costs and expenses (collectively, "Expenses")
reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating, mitigating or defending any such Loss; provided, however, that Network will not have any obligation or liability under this
Section 12(a) to the extent that Affiliate has an obligation or liability with respect to the same Loss under Section 12(b). 

        (b)   Indemnification by Affiliate.    Affiliate shall indemnify Network and its affiliates (including controlling
persons and related companies), officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents for, and shall hold them harmless from and against, any and all Losses that are sustained or incurred by or
asserted against any of them and that (i) arise out of any breach of this Agreement by Affiliate or (ii) arise directly out of the addition of material to or the deletion of material
from the content of the Service by Affiliate or the Systems and shall reimburse them for any and all Expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating, mitigating or
defending any such Loss. 

        (c)   Notice; Defense.    Promptly after receipt by a party of notice of the commencement of any action, suit,
proceeding or investigation in respect of which a claim for indemnification may be made hereunder by it or its affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees or agents, such party will give
written notice thereof to the other party, but the failure to so notify the other party will not relieve the other party from any liability or obligation that the other party may have to any
indemnified person (i) otherwise than under this Agreement or (ii) under this Agreement, except to the extent of any material prejudice to the other party resulting from such failure. If
any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation is brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate therein and, if it wishes to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified person (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified person, be counsel to
the indemnified person) and gives written notice to the indemnified person of its election so to assume the defense thereof within fifteen (15) days after notice shall have been given to it by
the indemnified person pursuant to the preceding sentence, will be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Each indemnified person will be obligated to cooperate reasonably with the indemnifying
party, at the expense of the indemnifying party, in connection with such defense and the compromise or settlement of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation. 

        (d)   Cumulative Remedies.    All rights, powers and remedies afforded to a party hereunder, by law, in equity or
otherwise shall be cumulative (and not alternative) and shall not preclude assertion or seeking by a party of any other rights or remedies. 

        (e)   Consequential Damages.    Neither Affiliate nor TWI, TWE, TWEAN, TWIC, Paragon Communications, any system, any
other Time Warner Company, or third party distributor of the 

15

 

Service
hereunder shall, for any reason or under any legal theory, be liable to Network or any third party for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages or for loss of profits,
revenues, data or services, regardless of whether such damages or loss was foreseeable and regardless of whether it was informed or had direct or imputed knowledge of the possibility of such damages
or loss in advance. 

        13.    TERMINATION    

        (a)   Bankruptcy.    If a party (i) becomes bankrupt or insolvent, however evidenced, (ii) admits in
writing its inability to pay its debts when due, (iii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) has appointed, voluntarily or involuntarily, any trustee, receiver,
custodian or conservator with respect to it or a substantial part of its property, or (v) files, or has filed against it, a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, then the other party
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving sixty (60) business days' written notice to such party, unless, in the case of an involuntary bankruptcy, such involuntary petition is
dismissed, or such relief is denied, within thirty (30) business days after it has been filed or sought. 

        (b)   Breach.    Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving sixty (60) days'
written notice to the other party if the other party has materially breached this Agreement and such breach shall not have been fully cured within 30 days after such notice shall have been
given or as otherwise specified in this Agreement. 

        (c)   Network
may, by giving Affiliate at least six (6) months prior written notice, terminate this Agreement if it permanently ceases distribution and exhibition of
the Service. This Agreement shall terminate immediately as to each System that fails to meet the System Qualifications. 

        (d)   Change of Control.    Network acknowledges that the benefits to Affiliate of distributing the Service are
dependent upon the nature, content, quality and type of programs included therein, that the consistent selection of appropriate programs during the Term hereof is dependent upon the judgment and
skills of current key personnel of Network and that a change or. threatened change in such personnel or their status with Network would adversely affect such selection and, therefore, such benefits.
Accordingly, Network agrees that Affiliate shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Network at any time after a change in the control of Network as reasonably
determined by Affiliate or a sale or other transfer of the Service or any material part thereof or interest therein. This Section 13(d) shall apply to each change in the control of Network and
to each sale or other transfer of the Service or any material part thereof or interest therein, regardless of when or how such change, sale or transfer occurs, and shall survive any appointment, or
any commencement or completion of any proceedings, described in Section 13(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Network shall make reasonable efforts to give Affiliate thirty (30) days'
prior written notice of a change in the control or ownership of the Service or Network. In such event, this Agreement shall continue, but, upon the date of such change of control, at Affiliate's
option, (i) Affiliate may continue to carry the Service subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) any or all of the Systems may be deemed deleted from
Schedule I hereto and carriage of the Service may be discontinued on any or all of the Systems; provided, however, that Affiliate shall have the option to continue or restore carriage in any or
all Systems at any time during the Term. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "control" means the power to direct the management and policies of an entity through the ownership of a majority of
voting securities by someone other than the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, the Power Broadcasting Inc. or any of their respective affiliates. 

        (e)   Service Combinations.    In the event that the Service is merged with, or Network acquires control of, or
Network is acquired by or merges with, or control of Network is acquired by, or the Service is acquired by, any other programming service or the owner of any other programming service, if Affiliate
has (at the time of such merger or acquisition) an affiliation agreement with 

16

 

any
such other service or entity, Affiliate shall have the option to choose to continue carriage of the Service and of such other service, as the case may be, under either this Agreement or under such
other affiliate agreement. In the event that Affiliate chooses to continue carriage of the Service under such other applicable affiliate agreement, this Agreement shall terminate. If Affiliate does
not have an affiliation agreement with such other service or entity, Affiliate shall have the option to elect to have this Agreement continue to apply to the Service after such merger or acquisition,
or to any surviving service after such merger or acquisition. 

        (f)    Legislative Action.    If by reason of regulatory or legislative action or interpretation (i) volume
discounts of the type provided herein become unlawful or unenforceable, (ii) Affiliate is required to pay a higher net effective rate per subscriber for the Service, (iii) the amount
that can be charged to Subscribers for the Service or the level or tier of service on which the Service is carried is restricted or limited, (iv) the level or tier of service on which the
Service can be carried is restricted or limited or (v) Affiliate is
otherwise deprived in any material respect of the overall net economic benefits of this Agreement or the distribution of the Service, then Affiliate shall have the right to request that Network
renegotiate those terms affected by any such action set forth in subsections (i) through (v) above by giving written notice to Network. If the parties shall not have agreed in writing as
to those renegotiated terms and conditions within thirty (30) days of Network's receipt of such notice, Affiliate shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as to any or all Systems by
giving written notice to Network. 

        (g)   Effective Date of Termination.    If a party exercises any option or right to terminate this Agreement as
provided herein, such termination shall become effective on the date on which notice of exercise of such option or right shall have been given (or on such later date as may be specified in such
notice). 

        (h)   Survival.    This Section 13(h), and Sections 5(i), 6(d), 6(e), 8(b), 9(a), 9(c), 9(e), 9(f), 11,
12, 15, 16(b) and 16(c) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. 

17

        15.    CONFIDENTIALITY    

        The
terms and conditions, other than the existence and duration, of this Agreement shall be kept confidential by the parties hereto and shall not be disclosed by either party to any
third party except: (i) as may be required by any court of competent jurisdiction, governmental agency, law or regulation (in such event, the disclosing party shall notify the other party
before disclosing the Agreement); (ii) as part of the normal reporting or review procedure to a party's accountants, auditors, agents, legal counsel and employees of parent and subsidiary
companies, partners, investors and potential investment partners, provided such accountants, auditors, agents, investors and potential investment partners, legal counsel and employees of parent and
subsidiary companies agree to be bound by this paragraph; and (iii) to enforce any of a party's rights pursuant to this Agreement. 

        16.    MISCELLANEOUS    

        (a)   Relationship.    Neither party shall be or hold itself out as the agent of the other party under this
Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create, and the parties do not intend to create, any relationship of partners or joint venturers as between Affiliate and Network, and neither
party is authorized to or shall act toward third parties or the public in any manner that would indicate any such relationship. 

        Likewise,
no supplier of advertising or programming or anything else included in the Service by Network shall be deemed to have any privity of contract or direct contractual or other
relationship with Affiliate by virtue of this Agreement or Affiliate's carriage of the Service hereunder. 

        Network
disclaims any present or future right, interest or estate in or to the transmission facilities of Affiliate and any affiliate of Affiliate and the parents, subsidiaries,
partnerships or joint venturers controlling the Systems on which the Service is transmitted, such disclaimer being to acknowledge that neither Affiliate nor the transmission facilities of the Systems
(nor the owners thereof) are common carriers. 

        (b)   Governing Law.    The validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed
by the law of the State of New York (without giving effect to the laws, rules or principles of the State of New York regarding conflicts of laws). The respective obligations of the parties under this
Agreement are subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the Cable Communications Policy
Act of 1984, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission thereunder). 

        (c)   Forum; Jury Trial.    Each party agrees that any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
breach or threatened breach of this Agreement may be commenced and prosecuted in a court in the State of New York. Each party consents and submits to the non-exclusive personal
jurisdiction of any court in the State of New York in respect of any such proceeding. Each party consents to service of process upon it with respect to any such proceeding by registered mail, return
receipt requested, and by any other means permitted by applicable laws and rules. Each party waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any
court in the State of New York and any claim that it may now or hereafter have that any such proceeding in any court in the State of New York has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party
waives its right to a trial by jury. 

        (d)   Entire Agreement.    This Agreement, together with the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the
entire contract between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and cancels and supersedes all of the previous or contemporaneous contracts, representations, warranties and
understandings (whether oral or written) by, between or among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

19

 

        (e)   Binding Effect; Assignment.    This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors
and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party shall assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this
Agreement (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that no such consent shall be
required in connection with any such assignment or delegation by Affiliate to any Time Warner Company or any person who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Affiliate or any Time
Warner Company. Any assignment of rights or delegation of duties under this Agreement by a party without the prior written consent of the other party, if such consent is required hereby, shall be
void. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement are for the exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns, and no third party shall be a beneficiary
of, or have any rights by virtue of, this Agreement. 

        (f)    Headings.    The headings set forth in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only,
shall not be considered a part of this Agreement and shall not limit, modify or affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 

        (g)   Survival of Representations.    All representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 

        (h)   Amendments; Modifications; Consents; Waivers.    Except as otherwise contemplated herein, no addition to, and
no cancellation, renewal, extension, modification or amendment of, this Agreement shall be binding upon a party unless such addition, cancellation, renewal, extension, modification or amendment is set
forth in a written instrument that states that it adds to, amends, cancels, renews, extends or modifies this Agreement and that is executed and delivered on behalf of each party by, in the case of
Network, an officer of Network and, in the case of Affiliate, by its Senior Vice President, Programming, Senior Executive Vice President, President or Chairman (each, an "Authorized Person");
provided, however, that any Authorized Person may, by written authorization, designate another person to execute and deliver such an instrument. Unless authorized in writing pursuant to the preceding
proviso, the employees and officers of Affiliate's regional divisions and Systems are not Authorized Persons. Without in any way limiting either party's right to withhold any consent or waiver
contemplated by this Agreement or requested by the other party, or to reject any proposed modification to or amendment of this Agreement, each party agrees that the other party shall have the right to
condition its grant of any requested consent hereunder, its grant of any requested waiver of any provision hereof or its acceptance of any proposed modification hereof or amendment hereto on receipt
of such commissions, compensation or other financial accommodation or consideration as it may, in its sole discretion, determine appropriate. 

        (i)    Waivers Limited.    No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be binding upon a party unless such
waiver is set forth in a written instrument that is executed and delivered on behalf of such party by, in the case of Network, an officer of Network and, in the case of Affiliate, by an Authorized
Person. Such waiver shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such written instrument. Neither the exercise (from time to time and at any time) by a party of, nor the delay or
failure (at any time or for any period of time) to exercise, any right, power or remedy shall constitute a waiver of the right to exercise, or impair, limit or restrict the exercise of, such right,
power or remedy or any other right, power or remedy at any time and from time to time thereafter. No waiver of any right, power or remedy of a party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other right,
power or remedy of such party or shall, except to the extent so waived, impair, limit or restrict the exercise of such right, power or remedy. 

20

 

        (j)    No Inference Against Author.    Each party acknowledges that this Agreement was fully negotiated by the parties
and agrees, therefore, that no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted against any party because such party or its counsel drafted such provision. 

        (k)   Counterparts.    This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which (when executed and
delivered) shall constitute an original instrument, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective and be deemed to have been executed
and delivered by both of the parties at such time as counterparts shall have been executed and delivered by each of the parties, regardless of whether each of the parties has executed the same
counterpart. It shall not be necessary when making proof of this Agreement to account for any counterparts other than a sufficient number of counterparts that, when taken together, contain signatures
of both of the parties. 

21

 

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first above written.
