basis that permits the downloading of such Licensed Programs and the subsequent
viewing of such Licensed Programs by a residential subscriber, on terms
(including, without limitation, license fees, copyright royalty payments,
encoding fees and obligations, and marketing support) that are more favourable
than those contained in this Agreement, then Rogers has the right to
incorporate, or substitute, as the case may be, such term or terms into this
Agreement, effective as of the date on which such term or terms were accorded
to
the third party and for the balance of the period such term or terms are
applicable to such third party. Licensor shall provide to Rogers, no later
