NEULION IPTV SERVICE SUPPORT

NeuLion’s iPTV Service support provides for logging, categorization, analysis and creation of resolutions to all support requests made by Company. Request resolutions can consist of answers to questions, creating of procedures to resolve and/or circumvent a problem, and changes to the Service to correct a problem.

NeuLion’s web-based support request tracking system allows Company to log requests, provide updates and review the status of the request logs, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 365 days per year. For opened requests, there are two types of technical support performed by NeuLion.

“Primary Support Services” address all the requests opened on the support tracking system. Primary Support Services personnel will work on requests during ********************** ************. “Emergency Support Services” are provided after Primary Support Services hours for High severity requests only. When a High severity request is opened outside of Primary Support Services hours, a NeuLion support technician will be automatically notified of the new request so that it can be addressed as quickly as possible. Within *** of entering a High severity request a NeuLion support technician will update the request.

Additionally, NeuLion has an Emergency Support Escalation telephone number, which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, that can be used for reporting ******************** ***********************. NeuLion provides web support services within the following timeframes.

Request Severity Description		Fix Plan Response

High Severity Requests - A “Service down” or Service operations halted condition and a manual work around is not practical.		***

Medium-Low Severity Requests - An intermittent or low-impact condition associated with the Service.		***

Low Severity Requests - Questions concerning performance or use of the Service.		***

NeuLion uses best efforts to correct High severity requests by continually working with Company to provide a fix or work around that eliminates a “Service down” condition.

EXHIBIT E

NEULION MONITORING, BACKUP AND RECOVERY

NeuLion’s iPTV Service provides for monitoring, backup and recovery from Service disruptions to the Service. The procedures and systems available will provide for a timely system recovery.

NeuLion utilizes a 24x7, automated system that monitors the NeuLion iPTV Service at the Data Center system level and all remotely located NeuLion Transcoder Systems. The monitoring system notifies NeuLion personnel of appropriate system events allowing for proactive operator action as required.

NeuLion provides a scalable replicated Data Center environment with multiple Data Centers. These Data Centers provide for complete redundancy of the Company’s VOD and linear channels Content, and Content serving to their Services Subscribers.

All VOD Content is replicated to each Data Center at time of initial Content store. For linear channel Content, NeuLion’s Transcoder Systems can be setup to feed redundant transcoded streams to two separate Data Centers, which in turn replicate the transcoded linear stream to the other Data Center, thus ensuring that each Data Centers has two sources of the linear channel Content. In the event of a failure to receive the transcoded linear channel Content directly from the primary NeuLion Transcoder System, the NeuLion iPTV Service automatically switches to the transcoded linear channel content being replicated from the other Data Center, the Service’s Subscribers will experience a minimum interruption.

EXHIBIT F

RESPONSE TO TECHNICAL QUESTIONS

Question —

(1) We need a description of how radio channels will be handled...either that one transcoder and set up fee will cover _X_ number of radio channels or that video channels can also carry radio channels ( one or two) if this is technically possible without additional charge which is how we currently do it.

Answer —

NeuLion currently requires a dedicated radio Transcoder Server and the input requirement is an ASI input. Additionally, if the radio is bundled in the ASI (MPEG2) input, the server can handle at least 10 channels. For redundancy, it is recommended that a second Transcoder be implemented to handle the same set of radio channels.

Question

2) We would like to see something in Exhibit D or E that specifically gives us permission to locally and remotely (for our remote programmers) monitor and control the system.(Xxxxxxx has verbally said this was Ok but we would like to see it in the Agreement) Xxxxxxx said in NY that we would be able to “fine tune” and set certain parameters of the video encoding process (eg. bandwidth usage) to achieve the quality that we desired from the out of the box configuration. We would like to see that confirmed in the Agreement and that we would not at any time be asked to downgrade our performance to accommodate a new system or box.

Answer —

From a technical point of view, NeuLion can provide Sky Angel with local or remote access to the Transcoder administration features. This will support a process for Sky Angel and NeuLion to work together to adjust the parameters of the Transcoder in order to “fine tune” the quality.

Question

3) We need to know if we own the middleware and could our customers continue to use the set top box for a new service if our Agreement with Neulion where to end. Could this be addressed in the Agreement?

Answer —

NeuLion is not providing a technology license agreement for the software in support of the services agreement. The agreement requires NeuLion to deliver a service not a product. If the service is canceled by Sky Angel the consumer would not be able to view the content on their box or use the box for other purposes.

Question —

4) Can you explain the plan procedure for (and who has what responsibility for) bringing online a backup system in case of a primary transcoder failure?

Answer —

See Exhibit E.

Question —

5) We will need about *** authorized set top boxes for monitoring each channel and for engineering, call center etc. Could we have an allowance for these STB’s in addition to the ***?

Answer —

NeuLion will provide Sky Angel with up to *** STB’s for internal Sky Angel use.

Question —

6) In order to provide for increased capability in the event of system failures, could we have language in the Agreement that you will provide training to our engineers in how to control their software transcoder process sufficient to enable us to accomplish a quick switch to a back up system from our end?

Answer —

NeuLion will provide the Sky Angel support staff with Transcoder training.

Question

7) We understand that problems at your end will need to be handled by your people at that location but where we have equipment at our facility that is processing content could we have permission in the contract to:

A) monitor the system status(transcoder and computer/OS system health) with our own M&C system

Answer —

NeuLion will provide Sky Angel with remote monitoring capabilities in order to check the status and welfare of the Transcoder system. The monitoring facilities provided by NeuLion for remote management will also include an alert notification system.

Question —

B) monitor the output (Ie. Be able to fully decode the actual video stream output from the transcoder software process back to raw video and audio that we can put up on a video monitor) before the signal is fed into the back haul to Neulion

Answer —

NeuLion currently does not support this feature but will consider this request as an enhancement to the current service offering.

Question —

C) Be able to adjust operating parameters of the video encoding process independently for each channel

D) Be able to control whether the primary or backup transcoder system is online I understand our engineers have discussed this with Xxxxxxx and he was OK with it. Could you check with him and if it is Ok put the above language in the contract in Section E as permission for us to do at our own expense?

Answer —

NeuLion will provide Sky Angel with Transcoder features that will allow Sky Angel to adjust the encoding parameters for each of the channels independently. Sky Angel can also notify NeuLion at anytime when Sky Angel would like to switch the video input between primary and backup Transcoders on the NeuLion media servers.
