Allocation of Channel Capacity. Pursuant to the Channel Sharing Rules, during the Shared Use Term the parties shall share the Shared Channel as set forth on Schedule 2.1, which may be modified from time to time by mutual written agreement of the parties (the “Baseline Spectrum Allocation”). Each party shall retain sufficient spectrum usage rights to allow it to provide at least one Standard Definition (SD) over-the-air program stream at no direct charge to viewers at all times. The parties shall implement a mutually beneficial weighting system and use the software optimization technology of statistical multiplexing (“Stat Mux”) or a successor technology mutually agreed upon by the parties. Each party shall designate one program stream with the highest priority within its allocated capacity, with each such program stream afforded an equivalent level of high priority. All other program streams shall have a lesser priority, and the parties shall, consistent with good engineering practices, cooperate to devise a system that produces the best results for each party with minimum picture degradation, subject to the constraints imposed by the agreed allocation of capacity among the parties hereto.
Allocation of Channel Capacity. From and after the Commencement Date (as such term is defined in Section 3.1), pursuant to the Channel Sharing Rules, Sharer and Xxxxxx shall share the 6 MHz Shared Channel (19.39 Megabits per second ("Mbps") as allocated under the current ATSC 1.0 standard) utilizing the post-auction capacity allocation set forth on Schedule 1.4 ("Capacity Allocation") and statistical multiplexing ("Stat Mux"), as set forth in the Engineering Plan on Schedule 2.1, which may be modified from time to time by mutual written agreement of the parties. At a minimum, each Station shall retain spectrum usage rights adequate to ensure a sufficient amount of capacity on the Shared Channel to allow each Station to provide at least one (1) Standard Definition ("SD") program stream at all times. The parties shall meet and confer from time to time to review and revise the Engineering Plan set forth on Schedule 2.1, and the Shared Operating Plan, as further

The parties shall meet and confer from time to time to review and revise the Engineering Plan set forth on Schedule 2.1, and the Shared Operating Plan, as further described in Section 3.4. Sharer and Xxxxxx shall implement a weighting system as allowed by the encoding pool to enable each party to prioritize its program streams rather than use a fixed allocation of bits of the Shared Channel. In connection therewith, in the event that either party uses its Capacity Allocation to transmit more than one program stream, (i) that party will designate one program stream with the highest priority within its allocated capacity and (ii) all of that party’s other program streams will have a lesser priority as mutually agreed by the parties based on empirical testing by Sharer and Xxxxxx, and the parties shall cooperate to devise a system that produces the best results for each party’s Station with minimum picture degradation. In the event the parties are unable to agree on a system, the parties shall implement a fixed allocation of bits of the Shared Channel for their respective broadcast needs.
