9. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

9.1 General. At all times during the Term and for a period of *** years thereafter, the parties and their employees will maintain, in confidence, the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as well as all data, summaries, reports or information of all kinds, whether oral or written, acquired, devised or developed in any manner from the other party’s personnel or files, or as a direct or indirect result of a party’s actions or performance under this Agreement, and each party represents that it has not and will not reveal the same to any persons not employed by such party, except: (i) at the written direction of the party which is the owner of such information; (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with law, the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or the valid order or requirement of a governmental agency or any successor agency thereto, in which event the disclosing party shall notify the owner of the information in advance, prior to making any disclosure, and shall seek confidential treatment of such information; (iii) as part of its normal reporting or review procedure to its parent company, its auditors and its attorneys, provided such parent company, auditors and attorneys agree to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph; or (iv) to the extent necessary to permit the performance of obligations under this Agreement.

9.2 Subscriber Information. All subscribers who subscribe to any of the Programming and/or any other programming services offered by Licensee and/or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed customers of Licensee for all purposes relating to programming services (including without limitation video, audio and data services) and the hardware necessary to receive programming services. ETLLC acknowledges and agrees that the names, addresses and other identifying information of such subscribers (“Subscriber Information”) are as between ETLLC and Licensee, with respect to the delivery of programming services and the hardware necessary to receive programming services, proprietary to Licensee, and shall be treated with the highest degree of confidentiality by ETLLC. ETLLC will not directly or indirectly use any Subscriber Information for the purpose of soliciting, or to permit any others to solicit, such subscribers to subscribe to any other programming services or to promote the sale of any hardware product used in connection with programming services, and ETLLC shall under no circumstance directly or indirectly reveal any Subscriber Information to any third party for any reason without the express prior written consent of Licensee, which

Licensee may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that nothing shall prohibit ETLLC from utilizing its own customer list for its general business operations unrelated to the delivery and/or promotion of programming services or the sale of any product used in conjunction with programming services. The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement indefinitely.

9.3 Equitable Relief. ETLLC agrees that a breach of the obligations set forth in this Section 9 will result in the substantial likelihood of irreparable harm and injury to the Licensee or its Affiliates for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy, and which damages are difficult to accurately measure. Accordingly, ETLLC agrees that Licensee and its Affiliates (or either of them) shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available, to obtain immediate injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting or filing a bond or other security) to restrain the threatened or actual violation hereof by the ETLLC, its Affiliates, its employees and agents, as well as other equitable relief allowed by the federal and state courts. The foregoing is agreed to without prejudice to the Licensee and its Affiliates (or either of them) to exercise any other rights and remedies they may have, including without limitation, the right to terminate this Agreement and seek damages or other legal or equitable relief. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement indefinitely.

9.4 Economic Benefits Derived Held in Trust. In the event that ETLLC derives an economic benefit, in any form, from a violation of its obligations under Section 9.2, it is hereby agreed that such economic benefit is the property of Licensee and that ETLLC shall deliver the cash value of the economic benefit to Licensee immediately upon receipt of the economic benefit. It is further agreed that ETLLC shall hold such economic benefit in trust for the benefit of Licensee until such time as its cash value is delivered to Licensee. The foregoing is agreed to without prejudice to Licensee to exercise any other rights and remedies it may have, including without limitation, the right to terminate this Agreement and seek damages or other legal or equitable relief. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement indefinitely.

10. TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the date first written above and shall continue until December 31, 2014 (the “Initial Term”) unless terminated sooner as provided in this Agreement. Licensee shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to extend this Agreement for one (1) additional year (a “Renewal Term”, and collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”), upon submission of written notice to ETLLC no less than one hundred eighty (180) calendar days prior to expiration of the current Term.

10.2.1 The Other Party commits a payment default which is not cured within *** days of receipt of written notice from the Affected Party.

10.2.2 The Other Party defaults on any obligation or breaches any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement (regardless of whether breach or default of such obligation, representation, warranty or covenant is designated as giving rise to a termination right), and such default or breach is not cured within *** days of receipt of written notice from the Affected Party. The parties agree that all obligations, representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, whether or not specifically designated as such, are material to the agreement of the parties to enter into and continue this Agreement.

10.3 Termination by ETLLC. ETLLC may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Licensee at any time in case of: (i) acquisition of Licensee, directly or indirectly, by a third party, or the merger of Licensee with a third party, which in either case manufactures set-top boxes (this Section 10.3 will not apply to an acquisition of Licensee by, or the merger of Licensee with, an Affiliate of Licensee; provided that such Affiliate is not a direct or indirect manufacturer of set-top boxes); (ii) Licensee’s falsification of any material records or reports required hereunder; or (iii) a material breach, as determined in ETLLC’s sole judgment, by Licensee of the confidentiality provisions contained in Section 9 above.

ETLLC and Licensee hereby waive all claims against each other in connection with such forfeiture and cancellation.

10.7 Survival of Certain Obligations. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not terminate any obligation or liability of one party to the other which is specified in this Agreement to expressly survive termination or expiration, which arises by operation of law or which logically is to be performed after termination or expiration, nor preclude or foreclose recovery of damages or additional remedies available to any party under applicable law, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Immediately after the Force Majeure event is removed or abates, the affected party shall perform such obligations with all due speed. Neither party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement if a delay or other breach is caused by a Force Majeure event. If a Force Majeure event is expected to continue for more than *** months, any party may terminate this Agreement by providing *** days prior written notice to the other party. Such termination shall be without any continuing liabilities or obligations on the part of one party to the other of any kind except as expressly set forth herein.
