Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall affect a Purchaser’s right to terminate any Purchase Order pursuant to Section 5.5 if there is a Late Delivery Occurrence in which case Seller shall pay only the liquidated damages for the Late Delivery Occurrence which have accrued through the date of such termination. Each Purchaser shall have the right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity with respect to Equipment with a requested shipment date after the date of such termination.

7.3 Complete Units. Where this Agreement calls for shipment of units of an item of Equipment, it shall be deemed to mean complete Equipment units that are inclusive of all components. For example, Equipment purchased by Purchasers under this Agreement may not be operational unless Seller has also supplied certain other Equipment components. Failure by Seller to properly deliver on a timely basis all components necessary for the operation of the ordered Equipment (other than where such failure is the fault of TWC or Purchasers), shall be deemed to be a failure to deliver the ordered Equipment for purposes of this Article until such time as such Equipment and related components have been properly delivered. Such failure shall apply, for any Purchaser, only to that quantity of Equipment units as to which the failure to deliver necessary related components has occurred.

7.4 Quality Assurance. As soon as reasonably possible following the Effective Date, Seller shall establish and maintain a program of quality assurance procedures as required to produce Equipment with performance and reliability characteristics as good as or better than those specified in this Agreement. Such program shall be considered Proprietary Information under Section 22.1 hereof, subject to TWC’s review, and shall include, with respect to Equipment:

(a) Periodic random testing of Equipment to monitor and ensure production quality. TWC may participate in such periodic testing for compliance with the Specifications.

(b) Test procedures and inspection methods aimed at maintaining low rates for the shipment of Defective Equipment.

(c) Records of all tests and inspections of the Equipment conducted by or at the request of Seller pursuant to this Section 7.4 and detailed records of the results of all such tests and inspections (e.g., any certifications obtained for the Equipment, and results of all parametric tests). Seller shall make its records of the results of tests and inspections available to TWC upon TWC’s request.

(d) Procedures for qualifying Seller’s vendors and/or subcontractors.

(e) Configuration control aimed at providing continuity in form, fit, and function of the Equipment, and traceability relative to changes in design, materials, and manufacturing processes.

(f) An Engineering Change Notice (“ECN”) control system with (1) all ECNs for each item of Equipment subsequent to the first production of such Equipment with reasonably sufficient information to describe the nature of the change and (2) a matrix showing the compatibility or lack of compatibility of any item of Equipment with all other Equipment and with any third party hardware and software in the operating environment for the Equipment that exists immediately prior to the change.

(g) Electrostatic discharge and surge protection plans.

(h) Dry runs of repair processes and tracking procedures.

(i) A method for collecting and documenting Failure data and action taken to repair Equipment returned for repair, in or out of warranty, as a result of a Defect. Seller shall provide TWC with [**] written reports concerning such Failure, return and repair data and actions that Seller takes. TWC may conduct its own tests from time to time, and if TWC determines that there are variances from the Specifications, Seller shall perform verification tests to confirm TWC’s test results.

(j) Methods for bench testing Equipment returned for repair and classification into failure categories.

(k) Seller’s key staffing and facilities during design, development and initial production to insure program continuity and quality.

Within a reasonable time after execution of this Agreement, but in any event prior to commencement of volume manufacture of any item of Equipment, Seller shall (a) develop a list of test equipment and standard test procedures that Seller shall use for acceptance quality level (“AQL”) testing and (b) upon request, supply such list to TWC.

7.5.2 Factory Testing by Seller. Seller shall conduct AQL testing on each shipment of Equipment before delivery to a Purchaser, and may conduct such testing upon representative samples to determine whether any Equipment is Defective. Seller shall replace, prior to shipment, each item of Equipment that fails AQL testing. Seller shall keep, for a period of [**] following the conduct of the applicable AQL test, and make available to each Purchaser upon such Purchaser’s request, a complete record of the AQL tests performed and a detailed record of the results thereof. A representative of each Purchaser may, upon such Purchaser’s

request and expense, witness Seller’s AQL tests, but a Purchasers’ witnessing of, or failure to witness, such tests shall not be deemed to be either acceptance of, or grounds for refusal to accept, any item of Equipment.

7.5.3 Purchaser AQL Testing. Each Purchaser may perform its own AQL testing upon Equipment delivered to such Purchaser, and shall advise Seller of Defects upon completion of such AQL testing. “AQL Acceptance” of Equipment shall take place on the earlier of (1) a Purchaser’s acceptance of such Equipment in accordance with this Sub-Section or (2) a Purchaser’s failure to reject such Equipment in accordance with this Sub-Section within [**] days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof. Equipment that is returned to Seller shall be exempt from the provisions of Sub-Section 7.2.1 so long as Seller ships replacement Equipment to Purchaser within the time frame required by Sub-Section 7.5.4.

7.5.4 Return of Defective Equipment. Purchaser’s return of Defective Equipment shall be directed to the location in the continental United States designated by Seller. Unless Seller either determines (which determination is supported to TWC’s reasonable satisfaction) that such Equipment is not Defective Equipment or repairs such Defective Equipment in place such that such Equipment is no longer Defective Equipment, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a return materials authorization (“RMA”) prior to the return of such Defective Equipment. Following receipt of the Defective Equipment by Seller, Seller shall repair or replace and ship Equipment to Purchaser within [**] Business Days. Unless Seller requests shipment by a designated carrier and pays such carrier directly, inbound shipping charges shall be prepaid by Purchaser and shall be reimbursed by Seller. Seller shall be responsible for outbound shipping charges.

7.6 Safety Stock. Seller, at its sole expense and risk, shall maintain a minimum inventory of each model of Equipment offered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement in stock and available for shipment to Purchasers equal to the Monthly Inventory Quantity. The term “Monthly Inventory Quantity” means, with respect to each model of Equipment purchased by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the greater of [**].

(b) To Seller’s knowledge as of the Effective Date, the Equipment, and a Purchaser’s normal use and operation thereof, and the Services do not infringe any third party’s IP Rights.

(c) To Seller’s knowledge as of the Effective Date, there are no claims or threatened claims asserting that the Equipment, or a Purchaser’s use thereof, or Services infringe or violate any third party’s IP Rights.

(d) As of the Effective Date, Seller is not aware, to its knowledge, of any facts upon which a colorable Claim for infringement of a third party’s IP Rights relating to the Equipment could be based.

(e) Seller has not previously granted and shall not grant any rights in the Equipment to any third party that conflict with the rights granted herein to a Purchaser.

8.2 Performance Warranties. Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Purchasers under this Agreement that:

(a) All Equipment shall: (1) conform to and function in conformance with the Specifications therefor; (2) be free from Defects in materials and workmanship, and (3) be Qualified at the time of Delivery to Purchasers. All Equipment shipped in fulfillment of a Purchase Order placed by a Purchaser shall be new, unless otherwise requested by Purchaser.

(b) All Services shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with commercially reasonable standards, and in conformance with the Specifications therefor, if any.

8.3 Initial Warranty Period. The warranties set forth in Sub-Sections 8.2(a) and (b) shall apply for the period beginning on the date of Delivery of the Equipment, or completion and acceptance of Services, as the case may be, and shall extend for a period of [**] months thereafter (the “Initial Warranty Period”); provided, however, that the Initial Warranty Period for any repaired or replacement Equipment shall commence on the date of receipt of such Equipment and shall end upon the expiration of the remaining Initial Warranty Period for the Equipment replaced thereby.

All Interface Information shall sufficiently describe the details of the external interfaces not defined or otherwise provided by TWC to the Equipment in order to allow TWC and its third party manufacturer to understand such interfaces for the sole purpose of being interoperable with the Equipment. Seller hereby grants to the Purchasers a world-wide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable (except for a material breach of this Agreement), non-transferable (except as permitted under Section 27.5), royalty-free, fully paid-up license, under any of Seller’s IP Rights embodied in the Interface Information, if any, that are necessary to access, copy, disclose, modify and create derivative works directly from such Interface Information for the sole purpose of maintaining interoperability of TWC’s head-end and other System equipment with the Equipment in order to use the Equipment. During the Term, upon TWC’s request, Seller shall provide technical support and consultation to assist TWC in understanding and applying the Interface Information.

Upon termination pursuant to the foregoing sentence, in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, (a) Purchasers shall be entitled to cancel outstanding Purchase Orders without any further liability to Seller, and (b) each Purchaser shall have the right, at such Purchaser’s option, to return the affected Equipment to Seller and Seller shall refund to such Purchaser the original purchase price paid to Seller for such Equipment, less any depreciation based on an [**] straight-line assumed useful life, plus the unearned portion of the fee for any Extended Warranty Contract and of any fee for Support Services that has been paid in advance.

14.6 Covenant Not to Xxx or Take Adverse Action.

14.6.1 Seller covenants and agrees (on behalf of itself and its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries) not to bring any Claim against TWC, any TWC Affiliate or a Purchaser (collectively, the “TWC Related Entities” and each, a “TWC Related Entity”) alleging infringement of any IP Rights (other than trademark rights) owned or controlled by Seller or any of its parents, affiliates, or subsidiaries with respect to the deployment (solely for the use of the TWC Related Entities and their respective Subscribers), use or acquisition of products (including without limitation hardware, software, equipment, systems and solutions) by TWC or any TWC Related Entity (i) prior to the Effective Date, (ii) during the Term of this Agreement, or (iii) during the [**] period after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

14.6.2 Nothing herein shall limit or restrict Seller’s or its affiliates’ ability or right to assert any claim of infringement, to seek damages, or to enjoin TWC’s or its TWC Related Entities’ vendors, for infringement or misappropriation of Seller’s or its affiliates’, as the case may be, patents or other intellectual property rights; provided, however that, during the period during which Section 14.6.1 is in effect, and for a reasonable period of time, which shall be up to [**] months, as determined by TWC in its sole discretion, after Seller or its affiliates

secures the first of either a final, non-appealable judgment or a final, non-appealable injunction (including without limitation an administrative remedy such as an exclusion order and/or cease and desist order) against a vendor of TWC or its TWC Related Entities, Seller and its affiliates shall, to the full extent of their authority, permit TWC or the TWC Related Entities the opportunity to transition their ongoing supply of the product(s) and/or service(s) that are subject to such judgment or injunction to non-infringing products and services, which transition shall include without limitation the ability to continue to acquire product(s) and/or service(s) from such vendor during such transition period without interference from Seller or its affiliates, and provided further that Seller (on behalf of itself and its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries) shall waive and forever release all claims against any such vendor for damages and/or license fees owed to Seller and its affiliates by such vendor with respect to the provision of products (including without limitation hardware, software, equipment, systems and solutions) to TWC or any TWC Related Entity during the period during which Section 14.6.1 is in effect and through and including such transition period.

14.7 Limitations to Covenant Not to Xxx or Take Adverse Action. The waiver and covenant set forth in Section 14.6.1 shall not be applicable:

14.7.1 if, and only to the extent that, TWC or a Purchaser has breached its obligations under Article 22 of this Agreement and such breach, directly or indirectly, results in an infringement of the IP Rights of Seller or any of its Related Parties; or

14.7.2 to any IP Rights developed or acquired by Seller more than [**] after termination or expiration of this Agreement or, if later, the last Warranty Period hereunder; or

14.7.3 to any patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret (other than the Seller Covenant IP, as defined below) owned, controlled or assertable by any third party that through a Change of Control acquires control, directly or indirectly, of Seller after the Effective Date; provided, however, that the covenants in Section 14.6 shall nonetheless run with any assignment or other transfer to such third party or its affiliates of any patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret, and any patent, copyright, or trademark issuing on an application, owned, controlled or assertable by Seller or its affiliates before such Change of Control (collectively, for the purposes of this Section 14.7, “Seller Covenant IP”) and shall bind such acquiring entity and its affiliates with respect to such Seller Covenant IP after such Change of Control.

14.8 Divestiture of IP Rights Subject to License. If Seller divests any right, title or interest in or to any IP Rights covered by Section 14.6 and not related to the divestiture of an on-going business to any person or entity (an “IP Rights Divestiture”), then (i) Seller automatically shall be deemed to have granted to TWC and the TWC Related Entities an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license to use such IP Rights in connection with their businesses and operations (but not for the purpose of selling products or services to third parties, where such products or services compete with the Equipment or Services hereunder) for so long as the covenants in Section 14.6 remain in effect, and (ii) Seller shall make such IP Rights Divestiture expressly subject to the covenants in Section 14.6 and the license granted in clause (i) above.

14.9 Patent Pools. TWC shall not, and shall cause its TWC Related Entities not to, seek any reduction in fees (or refund of previously paid fees) with respect to IP Rights that are included in an open (i.e., open to potential licensees) patent licensing consortium or pool by reason of the licenses granted under this Agreement.

15.	GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION

15.1 Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchasers and their Related Parties from and against any Claims (other than Claims related to IP Rights, which are governed by Section 14 hereof), and pay any Liabilities awarded against the Purchaser or any Related Parties to the extent relating to or arising out of such Claims, arising out of:

15.1.1 Any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of Seller or its Related Parties in connection with the performance or non-performance of their obligations hereunder or any breach of any of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or terms of, or defaults under, this Agreement.

15.1.2 Any Claim by third parties against the Purchasers or any of their Related Parties arising out of:

(a) Seller’s relationships with its employees, suppliers, subcontractors, agents, and consultants in the course of its performance under this Agreement;

(b) Seller’s design, development, manufacture, testing, production, and storage of the Equipment being provided to Purchasers under this Agreement, including any Security Compromise with respect to any Equipment that results in a Claim against TWC or any other Purchaser by any third party content provider;

(d) Damages caused by Defective or unreasonably dangerous Equipment solely caused by Seller.

Nothing in this Section shall be construed to diminish or otherwise limit Seller’s obligation to indemnify TWC and Purchasers with respect to a Claim for which TWC and Purchasers are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article 14.

15.2 Procedure. In the event of a Claim by a third party, with respect to which a Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Party seeking indemnification (“Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (“Indemnifying Party”) after receipt of notice of such Claim; provided that a delay in or failure by Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall not relieve Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article or Article 14, except to the extent that such delay or failure materially prejudices Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such Claim. The Indemnifying Party, at its sole expense, shall promptly assume the defense of such Claim using counsel of its own choosing and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such Claim, including the settlement (subject to the requirements below with respect to

settlement) of the matter on the basis stipulated by the Indemnifying Party (with the Indemnifying Party being responsible for all costs and expenses of such defense and settlement, including the reimbursement of Indemnified Party’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in providing information and assistance in connection therewith); provided, however, that if a conflict of interest exists vis-a-vis the interests of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently defend the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to defend the Claim with counsel of its own choosing at the expense of, for the account of and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall only be responsible for the expense of a single counsel regardless of the number of Indemnitees. The Indemnified Party shall engage counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, take reasonable steps to monitor and control the fees and costs of counsel so chosen, and keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the status of such defense, including any settlement proposals by the claimant. In addition, the Indemnified Party may participate, in its sole discretion, in any Claim under this Article or Article 14 using its own counsel at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Claim without first obtaining the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent where the settlement of such Claim results in any admission of guilt or liability on the part of the Indemnified Party, imposes any obligation or liability on the Indemnified Party, or has a judicially binding effect on the Indemnified Party (other than monetary liability for which the Indemnified Party is indemnified by the Indemnifying Party), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

16.

Similarly, BHN shall be responsible (subject to the limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement) for the acts or omissions of BHN and each of the BHN Responsible Affiliates as if such acts or omissions were the acts or omissions of BHN. To the extent that a single legal entity owns operating assets, some of which are managed by TWC and some of which are managed by BHN, the obligations under this Agreement associated with the assets managed by TWC shall be the responsibility of TWC and the operations associated with such assets shall be considered to be the operations of a TWC Responsible Affiliate, and the obligations under this Agreement associated with the assets managed by BHN shall be the responsibility of BHN and the operations associated with such assets shall be considered to be the operations of a BHN Responsible Affiliate. Upon request, TWC, BHN, the TWC Responsible Affiliates and the BHN Responsible Affiliates shall inform Seller as to which TWC Affiliates and assets are owned or managed by TWC and which are owned or managed by BHN. Seller agrees that neither TWC nor any TWC Responsible Affiliate shall be liable for the obligations of BHN or the BHN Responsible Affiliates under this Agreement. Instead, for example, if BHN or a BHN Responsible Affiliate elects to purchase Equipment and/or Services hereunder, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall look only to BHN and such BHN Responsible Affiliate for payment of amounts owed by BHN and BHN Responsible Affiliate under this Agreement and for performance of any other obligations relating to BHN and such BHN Responsible Affiliate under this Agreement.

Instead, for example, if TWC or a TWC

Responsible Affiliate elects to purchase Equipment and/or Services hereunder, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall look only to TWC and such TWC Responsible Affiliate for payment of amounts owed by TWC and such TWC Responsible Affiliate under this Agreement and for performance of any other obligations relating to TWC and such TWC Responsible Affiliate under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither BHN nor any BHN Responsible Affiliate shall be eligible to purchase Equipment and/or Services under this Agreement, unless and until BHN agrees to the terms of this Agreement in writing by executing an addendum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C – Affiliate Addendum.

18.1.3 Complete Termination. If it appears that a time for delivery or performance scheduled pursuant to this Agreement will be extended for more than six months, either Party shall have the right to terminate, by notice to the other Party, this Agreement.

22.	CONFIDENTIALITY AND MEDIA RELEASES

22.1 Proprietary Information. Seller, on the one hand, and TWC and each other Purchaser, on the other hand (but severally as to TWC and each other Purchaser) (each, a “party”) for purposes of this Article), agree that any information or data (including information or data received by the disclosing party from a third party and as to which the disclosing party has confidentiality obligations) (a) fixed in a tangible medium and furnished by one to the other under this Agreement and marked as the confidential or proprietary information of the disclosing party, including information relating to the Equipment and Services; (b) otherwise provided or disclosed orally and stated to be confidential or proprietary at the time the information is provided or in a writing which is provided within [**] days thereafter which generally describes such information; (c) relating to the quantity of Equipment ordered by any Purchaser(s) hereunder; (d) relating to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; or (e) relating to any current, former or prospective Subscriber, is, in each case, confidential or proprietary information of the disclosing party (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”), and shall be the subject of no less than reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy and shall not be used for any purpose other than the purposes of this Agreement or disclosed to anyone other than to the recipient’s employees or agents or consultants rendering services related to the subject matter of this Agreement who have entered into an agreement with the receiving party, or are otherwise bound, to hold proprietary information of such nature in trust and confidence under standards at least as rigorous as those provided in this Agreement and who need to use the Proprietary Information for the purposes of this Agreement.

22.2 Exceptions Required by Law. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 22.1, a party receiving Proprietary Information may disclose such Proprietary Information (a) pursuant to an order or judgment of any court or governmental body, or (b) pursuant to any Law, provided that the disclosing party in the case of either subparagraph (a) or (b) above, gives reasonable notice to the other party in advance of such disclosure, if not prohibited by law, and seeks confidential treatment of such information from the entity to which the disclosure is made and discloses only that information which is legally required to be disclosed.

22.3 Other Exceptions. The restrictions and obligations in Section 22.1 shall not apply with respect to any Proprietary Information, other than personally identifiable information relating to a Subscriber, that the receiving party can demonstrate with written evidence: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public through any means other than a breach by the receiving party of its obligations under this Agreement; (b) is disclosed to the receiving party without an obligation of confidentiality by a third party who has the right to make such disclosure; (c) is developed independently by the receiving party; (d) was rightfully in possession of the receiving party without obligations of confidentiality prior to receipt under this

Agreement; or (e) is required to be disclosed to enforce rights under this Agreement. In addition, either party may disclose the terms of this Agreement to bona fide potential or actual: advisors, consultants, investors, acquirers, lenders, investment bankers or other financial partners in connection with financing or business combination activity, provided that the person or entity to whom the disclosure is made has entered into an agreement with the party making such disclosure, or is otherwise bound, to hold proprietary information of such nature in trust and confidence under standards at least as rigorous as those provided in this Agreement.

22.4 Remedies. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the obligations set forth in this Article 22 may result in the substantial likelihood of irreparable harm and injury to the owner of the Proprietary Information for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy, and which damages are difficult to accurately measure, and further agrees that the disclosing party shall have the right to seek injunctive relief upon any violation or threatened violation of the terms of this Agreement, in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

22.5 Return of Proprietary Information. Upon the termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement for any reason or upon the reasonable request of the disclosing party, all Proprietary Information, together with any copies that may be authorized herein, shall be returned to the disclosing party or, if requested by the disclosing party, certified destroyed by the receiving party; provided, however, that this Section shall not apply with respect to Proprietary Information which is needed in connection with the use and support of the Equipment.

22.6 Gathering of Statistical and Other Information. TWC shall determine in TWC’s sole discretion the scope and method for gathering statistical information, if any, to be collected in connection with the use of the Equipment.

22.7 Publicity and Certain Communications. Subject to Sections 22.2 and 22.3, unless and only to the extent specifically authorized in writing by the other party, which authorization must address both the form and content of any communication, neither Seller nor TWC shall directly or indirectly, initiate or have, and shall not authorize any of its employees or agents to initiate or have, any oral or written communication (whether in the form of news releases, advertising or solicitation materials, or blog or social media postings) with or directed to any person other than the employees or contractors of the parties hereto who have responsibility for the administration or performance of this Agreement (including without limitation the press, the public, Subscribers, the trade, and governmental and quasi-governmental agencies, authorities and instrumentalities) (i) that concerns (a) this Agreement or the negotiation (or other transactions in contemplation of), termination, renewal, non-renewal or expiration of this Agreement or any other prior, then current, or proposed agreement, arrangement or understanding with the other party relating to the distribution of the Equipment, (b) any modification or amendment hereof or thereof, or (c) the provision of the Equipment to TWC; or (ii) that would or could adversely affect relations between the other party, on the one hand, and the other party’s customers (including, in the case of TWC, Subscribers) or such agencies, authorities or instrumentalities, on the other hand.

22.8 Residuals. Each of the Parties shall be free to use for any purpose the Residuals (as defined herein) resulting from access to or work with the other Party’s Proprietary Information, provided that such party shall maintain the confidentiality of the Proprietary Information as provided herein. The term “Residuals” means information that is in non-tangible form that is unintentionally retained by persons who have had access to the Proprietary Information in the ordinary course of business and in good faith, including ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained therein. The parties shall not have any obligation to limit or restrict the assignment of such persons or to pay royalties for any work resulting from the use of Residuals. To the extent any Residuals constitute a trade secret, the owner of the Proprietary Information from which such Residuals are derived hereby grants the party wishing to use the Residual a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to such trade secrets to make such use, without notice or accounting, subject, however, to the requirements for maintaining the confidentiality of the underlying Proprietary Information. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to grant to the other party a license under a party’s patent, copyright or trademark rights, nor shall this Section apply to any information learned through reverse engineering, disassembling or decompiling of the Equipment or Software.

23.	DOCUMENTATION AND NEW GENERATION EQUIPMENT

23.1 Documentation. Seller shall provide documentation for the Equipment which is compliant with Specifications and the reasonable standards of Seller’s industry with respect to content, size, legibility and reproducibility.

23.2 New Generation Equipment. During the term of this Agreement, Seller may use commercially reasonable efforts to develop improved versions of the Equipment (each an “Improvement”). Promptly after Seller develops an Improvement, Seller shall deliver a written notice to TWC notifying TWC of the development of the Improvement and offering to sell to TWC the Equipment with such Improvement upon terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by Seller and TWC. Regardless of whether TWC accepts or rejects any such Seller proposal, TWC shall have the right to purchase the initial Equipment or any subsequent Equipment with an Improvement previously accepted by TWC on the terms and conditions applicable to purchases of the Equipment under this Agreement (including without limitation Section 6.5).

24.	SYSTEM LICENSE

To the extent that Seller owns any IP Rights, whether currently existing or hereafter acquired (or is the licensee of any such IP Rights with a right to sublicense such IP Rights without payment of any additional fee or other consideration to the licensor or any third party), and, in either event, such IP Rights are necessary to enable a Subscriber to receive the telecommunication, entertainment, information, programming, applications, data or other services provided by a Purchaser’s System only by directly and fully utilizing the functions and features of the Equipment as identified in the Specifications and as provided by Seller to Purchaser when used in the Purchaser’s System, Seller hereby grants to each Purchaser a non-exclusive, irrevocable (except for a material breach of this Agreement), perpetual, worldwide, fully-transferable (but only to the extent that the Equipment as delivered by Seller is transferred), royalty-free license to use such IP Rights in connection with the Equipment to receive such telecommunication, entertainment, information, programming, applications, data or other

services provided by a Purchaser’s System to its Subscribers. For purposes of clarity, the foregoing license grant shall not apply to any Enhancement for which Seller is entitled to charge a fee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

25.	LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

TWC and Seller acknowledge that it is impractical and extremely difficult to determine the actual damages or lost revenues that may proximately result from a Party’s failure to perform certain obligations under this Agreement. Accordingly, any amounts payable to TWC, Seller or a Purchaser as “liquidated damages” under this Agreement are (a) liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and (b) reasonable and not disproportionate to the presumed damages to TWC, Seller or such Purchaser, as the case may be, in lost revenues or otherwise from a failure by the other to comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Unless specified otherwise in this Agreement, all payments of liquidated damages shall be made in cash, by check or by wire transfer no later than [**] days after receipt of notice from the Party requesting payment.

26.

NOTICES

All notices or other communications required under this Agreement shall be in writing, addressed to the applicable Party in accordance with the contact information set forth below or as subsequently changed by a notice provided in compliance with this Section 26, and shall be deemed given: (A) one business day after deposit with an overnight courier, when sent by overnight courier; (B) five days after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; or (C) upon actual receipt by the addressee when sent by any other method.

GENERAL

27.1 English Language. All documentation, manuals, notices, reports, and correspondence under this Agreement shall be submitted and maintained in the English language and all dollar amounts are in United States Dollars.

27.2 Financial Information. [**].

27.3 Subcontractors. Prior to subcontracting any of its obligations hereunder for the support of Equipment, Seller shall (a) provide to TWC the full legal name, address, contact person, telephone number and facsimile number of such Party, and (b) obtain TWC’s consent prior to such subcontracting, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such requirement shall not apply to purchases of incidental, standard commercial supplies or raw materials. Seller shall remain solely responsible for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder, notwithstanding the approval by TWC of any subcontractor hereunder.

27.4 Relationship of the Parties. The relationship of Seller and its successors in interest, on the one hand, and TWC, Purchasers and their respective successors in interest, on the other hand, is that of independent contractors, and not one of principal and agent, joint venture or partnership. Neither Seller, on the one hand, nor TWC and Purchasers, on the other hand, shall have any authority to create or assume, in the name or on behalf of the other Party, any obligation, express or implied, nor to act or purport to act as the agent or the legally empowered representative of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever.

27.5 Assignment; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, but no Party shall have the power to assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder or under any Purchase Order (including by operation of law or by virtue of a “Change of Control,” which for purposes of this Section 27.5 shall be deemed to be an assignment) without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may, without the consent of the other Party, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement or a Purchase Order to (a) any entity that currently controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Party (for purposes of this Section only, an “Affiliate”) and (b) any successor entity in the event of such Party’s transfer of all or substantially all of its assets or stock, merger, spin-off, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination; provided, however, that in any of the foregoing events, to the extent the assignor has incurred obligations prior to the date of such assignment, the assignor shall not be relieved of any of such obligations hereunder except to the extent performed or satisfied by the assignee; and further provided, however, that in no event may Seller assign this Agreement to any “TWC Competitor”, as defined herein, without TWC’s prior written consent to be granted in TWC’s sole discretion. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) the benefits of the performance warranties provided under Article 8 and the indemnities under Article 14 may be enforced by a subsequent owner of the Equipment; and (ii) any Purchaser may assign the benefits of this Agreement which relate to any Equipment previously purchased by such Purchaser or subject to an outstanding Purchase Order submitted

by such Purchaser in connection with a transfer of such Equipment to (A) an Affiliate, or (B) any entity that purchases or otherwise acquires a Purchaser’s System (whether by purchase or conveyance of assets or stock, merger, consolidation or other business reorganization) in which the Equipment has been deployed. The purchaser of, or successor to, a Purchaser’s business or assets described in the foregoing clause (ii) shall be entitled to buy Equipment for a period of twelve months after the consummation of such transaction on terms and conditions substantially similar to those set forth in this Agreement. In the case of any assignment which is made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section, including without limitation an assignment made in connection with a Change in Control, the assigning party shall cause the assignee to accept in writing the assignment and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. “Change in Control” with respect to any Party means the acquisition (whether by purchase or conveyance of assets or stock, merger, consolidation or other business reorganization) by any person or group, whether in one transaction or in a series of related transactions, and whether directly or indirectly, (I) of the power to vote or control the vote of shares or interests in such Party having fifty percent (50%) or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors or of such other governing or managing body of such Party, or (II) of fifty percent (50%) or more in fair market value of such Party’s assets. “TWC Competitor” means any person or entity, and any person or entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with any other person or entity, that offers (1) any direct broadcast satellite services, (2) any wireline video, television, data or voice services to subscribers, or (3) any wireless video, television, data or voice services to subscribers, in each case in any area where any TWC Related Party holds a cable franchise or otherwise has the right to provide any such services or any similar services. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void.

27.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable, or void by a court of law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute provision that is legal and enforceable and is as nearly as possible consistent with the intentions underlying the original provision. If the remainder of this Agreement is not materially affected by such declaration or finding and is capable of substantial performance, then the remainder shall be enforced to the extent permitted by Law.

27.7 Waivers. No delay or omission by either Party to exercise any right or power will impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by any Party of any of the covenants, conditions, or contracts to be performed by the other or any breach thereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant, condition, or contract herein contained. No change, waiver, or discharge hereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party against which such change, waiver, or discharge is sought to be enforced.

27.8 Remedies. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, in addition to any remedies provided in this Agreement, the Parties shall have all remedies provided at law or in equity. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement or otherwise under Law shall be cumulative and the exercise of any particular right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies in addition to, or as an alternative of, such right or remedy, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement.

27.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any entity, other than Seller and Purchasers, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any remedy or claim by reason of this Agreement, and any such remedies or claims shall be for the exclusive benefit of Seller and Purchasers. References in this Agreement to “TWC” only shall not include any other Purchaser. Each Purchaser hereunder other than TWC shall be provided a copy of this Agreement; provided, however, that TWC or BHN, as the case may be, shall ensure that this Agreement is treated as Proprietary Information and shall be responsible for any unauthorized disclosure of this Agreement and/or its contents by such Purchasers.

27.10 Applicable Law; Venue; Jury Waiver. The interpretation, validity and enforcement of this Agreement, and all legal actions brought under or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be governed by the law of the State of New York (except that any conflicts-of-law principles of such state that would result in the application of the law of another jurisdiction shall be disregarded). Any legal action brought under or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement shall be brought only in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if such court would not have jurisdiction over the matter, then only in a New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. Each Party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts and agrees not to commence any legal action under or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement in any other court or forum. Each Party waives any objection to the laying of the venue of any legal action brought under or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement in the Federal or state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and agrees not to plead or claim in such courts that any such action has been brought in an inconvenient forum. IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES THAT THEY EACH WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

27.11 Time is of the Essence. Time of performance is of the essence in this Agreement and a substantial and material term hereof.

27.12 Expenses. Each of the Parties shall pay its own costs and expenses associated with the execution and performance of this Agreement.

27.13 Survival. The rights and obligations of the Parties set forth in Articles 1, 4, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26 and 27 and Sections 3.4, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 7.1, 7.2.3, 9.3, 18.1.1 and 20.3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

27.14 Exhibits. All references herein to Exhibits are to the Exhibits attached hereto, which shall be incorporated in and constitute a part of this Agreement by such reference.

27.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any Exhibits and documents referred to in this Agreement or attached hereto and each Purchase Order conforming to this Agreement, constitutes the entire and exclusive statement of this Agreement with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any and all oral or written representations, understandings, or agreements relating thereto. Any other terms or conditions included in any quotes, Purchase Orders, acknowledgments, bills of lading, or other documents utilized or exchanged by the Parties shall not be binding unless and only to the extent that a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of the Parties after the Effective Date expresses the intent of the signing Parties to be bound thereby. This Agreement may be modified, supplemented or changed only by an agreement in writing which makes specific reference to this Agreement and which is signed by both the Parties.

27.16 Performance by Affiliates. TWC, at its option, may exercise any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement, and/or perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder, by itself or through any TWC Affiliate in conformity with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Seller agrees to provide Support Services to TWC and the Purchasers during the Initial Warranty Period and during the Period for which TWC or the Purchasers have purchased Support Services for the Software on the terms and conditions set forth below.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Exhibit shall have the meanings given them in the Purchase Agreement into which this Exhibit is incorporated by reference. Seller shall be liable for all Support Services performed by its subcontractors or agents in the same manner as if Seller had performed the Support Services itself.

2.	Technical Support

Support Services include:

2.1

7x24 Call Center Service

Seller will provide twenty-four-hours-a-day, seven days a week, year-round support through Seller Call Centers. Purchasers may contact the Call Center either by phone or by email, provided that Purchasers shall always have the option to contact the Call Center by phone should they choose to do so.

Email: xxxxxxx@xxxx-xxxxxxx.xxx

Telephone (USA): x0.000.000.0000

The Call Center objective is to identify the cause of a defect, problem and/or disturbance with respect to the Equipment and to provide the Purchaser with instructions on how to restore the Equipment back to normal operational condition as soon as practically possible. The defect, problem or disturbance causing the issue may not necessarily be remedied during the initial response.

Relevant data regarding the defect, problem or disturbance reported shall be

provided by the Purchaser upon request from Seller and may also be gathered by Seller through remote connection to the affected Equipment. This data will be recorded in the form of a “Case”. When all relevant data is gathered, Seller will respond with a Trouble Report Acknowledgement and inform the Purchaser of the Case number.

The Call Center service can also be used to answer non-urgent routine questions and queries related to Equipment operation and/or maintenance. Non-urgent questions and queries shall be addressed on a priority basis and will be quickly and competently answered.

All inquiries will result in a Case being opened and the Case will remain open until the issue or question has been fully resolved or answered to the Purchaser’s satisfaction.

2.2

Technical Support System

Seller shall provide a Purchaser accessible Technical Support System from which the Purchaser can download the latest software and technical documentation and open Cases to request problem resolution assistance.

To request log-in access to the Seller Technical Support System, Purchasers may send an email to xxxxxxx@xxxx-xxxxxxx.xxx requesting log-in access to the Seller FTP server and including the email addresses of all technical team contacts authorized to open Cases with Seller.

The ticketing system uses the email address to automatically identify Purchaser and ensure that Purchaser receives the Support Services to which it is entitled. If an unauthorized person sends an email to Seller, Purchaser’s account information will not be automatically identified by Seller’s technical support team, which may result in a delayed or no response from Seller. Additional technical contacts can be added at any time by sending an email to xxxxxxx@xxxx-xxxxxxx.xxx.

2.3

Problem Resolution Process

Seller provides a comprehensive, organized effort to resolve all Purchaser Equipment related issues including:

•

4.	Service Response Commitments

4.1

In order for Seller to commit to and achieve the service response times set forth herein, Purchaser is required to provide Seller with remote access to the Equipment related to the Case and/or assist Seller in obtaining relevant information related to the Case. Through the Problem Resolution process, Seller will provide professional and workmanlike solutions on how to eliminate Severity Xxxxx 0, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx 0 and Severity Level 3 defects (as defined herein) in the Equipment and restore the Equipment to normal operational condition by implementing a temporary solution, if relevant, and then a permanent solution, if necessary.

4.2

Seller agrees to respond to technical problems within the timeframes described in Table 1, depending on the Severity Level of the problem. The Permanent Fix times do not apply to hardware repair or replacement. For faster fix times due to hardware defects, Seller recommends that the Purchaser maintain on-site spares.

For Severity Level 1 problem reports, Seller shall, within a maximum time period of [**], contact the Purchaser by email or phone in order to request all information related to the defect, problem and/or disturbance. During the subsequent response time, Seller will request information from the Purchaser and access the Equipment to gather data necessary in order for Seller to find a temporary or permanent solution and provide the Purchaser with instructions enabling the Purchaser to restore the Equipment back to normal operational condition as soon as practically possible.

For Severity Level 1 problems, instructions enabling Purchaser to restore the Equipment back to normal operational condition shall be given to Purchaser within [**].

If a temporary solution is provided in order to restore the Equipment to normal operational condition, Seller shall subsequently provide a permanent solution within the response times specified In Table 1.

Table 1. Service Response Commitments


SEVERITY LEVEL	SERVICE WINDOW	RESPONSE	TEMPORARY FIX	PERMANENT FIX

2	[**]	[**]	[**]	[**]

3	[**]	[**]	[**]	[**]

4	[**]	[**]	[**]	[**]

Actual restoration time for diagnosed hardware defects will depend on the availability of spares. Seller recommends that the Purchaser establish spares availability to meet restoration time commitments.

The above stated time periods are not additive. The beginning of each time interval for both the Response and for the Temporary or Permanent Fix as stated above is the time that the Purchaser has contacted Seller to report the Error or make the inquiry. The “Service Window” is the time period during which Seller will work to remedy the defect, problem or disturbance.

4.3

Seller shall provide, to each Purchaser whose access to the Software has been subject to a Severity Level 1 problem, service level [**] against Support Services fees or other amounts to be paid by TWC or the Purchasers if Seller has failed to respond to a request for support for a Severity Level 1 problem after the periods specified in Section 4.2 above. For the first [**] after the designated response time, the amount [**] shall be $[**] for each [**] interval, or portion thereof, during which Seller fails to respond. For the [**] after the designated response time, and for each [**] thereafter, the amount [**] shall be $[**] per [**], or portion thereof, during which Seller fails to respond. For example, if Purchaser reports a Severity Level 1 problem at [**], and Seller fails to respond until [**], the Purchaser shall be entitled to a [**] equal to $[**]. If Purchaser reports a Severity Level 1 problem at [**], and Seller fails to respond until [**], the amount of [**] shall be $[**].

4.4

Seller shall provide to each Purchaser whose access to the Software has been subject to a Severity Level 1 problem, a [**] against Support Services fees or other amounts to be paid by TWC or the Purchasers if Seller fails to provide a Temporary or Permanent Fix for that Severity Level 1 problem within the applicable resolution time set forth in the table in Section 4.2 above. Such [**] shall be equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of the monthly Support Services fees under the Purchase Agreement for the month in which the Severity Level 1 problem was first properly reported to Seller for each [**], or portion thereof, by which the Temporary or Permanent Fix times are missed for such Severity Level 1 problem, provided, however, [**] shall be based upon the Support Services fees then paid or payable under the Purchase Agreement for such month plus an amount equal to the Support Services fees that would have been paid for the Software that is within the Initial Warranty Period had such Software not been within the Initial Warranty Period and been covered by Support Services. For example, if a Severity Level 1 problem is reported by Purchaser at [**] and persists without a Temporary or Permanent Fix for [**] after the Severity Level 1 problem is first reported by Purchaser, and if the monthly Support Services fees under the Purchase Agreement for all Purchasers for the month of [**](including fees that would have been paid with respect to Software within the Initial Warranty Period) are $[**], the Purchaser shall be entitled to [**] equal to $[**].

4.5

[**] the foregoing Sections 4.3 and 4.4 shall be applied to the next invoice for fees or other amounts to be paid by TWC or any Purchaser. The amount of any [**] shall be paid in cash to TWC only upon termination of Purchasers’ use of the Software in the event that [**] have not been used prior to such termination. The Parties agree that (i) it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages to Purchaser that may proximately result from the failure of Seller to timely perform the obligations set forth in Section 4.2 and to which the [**] relate, (ii) such [**] and not a penalty, (iii) such [**] constitute a reasonable remedy that is not disproportionate to the presumed damage caused by the failure of Seller to timely perform the obligations set forth in such Section 4.2. If Seller is liable for [**] as described in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 above in any two out of three consecutive months, then TWC may terminate the Agreement upon written notice

to Seller. Such termination right, along with the [**] to TWC as described in this Section 4, shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to a breach by Seller of the specific response time and resolution time obligations set forth in Section 4.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall affect TWC or any Purchaser’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity with respect to any act or omission of Seller that constitutes a material breach of any other provision of this Exhibit E or the Agreement, even though such act or omission also constitutes a breach by Seller of the specific response time and resolution time obligations set forth in Section 4.2 of this Exhibit E.

Such notice shall reasonably detail any defects, problems and/or disturbances that the Minor Enhancement corrects, as well as all new features or functionality contained in the Minor Enhancement. All Minor Enhancements shall be developed by Seller and made available to the Purchasers [**], provided that the affected Software is either within the Initial Warranty Period or covered by Support Services. Upon delivery, each Minor Enhancement shall be considered part of the “Software” under the Purchase Agreement and this Exhibit. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require Seller to develop Minor Enhancements or new features at the request of TWC, other than as necessary to provide a resolution to a defect, problem or disturbance, and Seller is not obligated to deliver any specific number

of Minor Enhancements. TWC may obtain a list of available Minor Enhancements from Seller at any time upon request. Seller shall deliver each Minor Enhancement to TWC prior to deployment to any Purchaser and within a reasonable amount of time after the Minor Enhancement is made available to other Seller customers.

8.2

During such period as a Purchaser is receiving Support Services, Seller also shall promptly notify TWC of all Major Enhancements available from or through Seller at the same time as such Major Enhancements are generally made available by Seller to its other customers. Such notice shall reasonably detail any new features or functionality contained in the Major Enhancements. All Major Enhancements shall be developed by Seller and made available to the Purchasers [**], provided that the affected Software is either within the Initial Warranty Period or covered by Support Services. Upon delivery, any Major Enhancement shall be considered part of the “Software” under the Purchase Agreement and this Exhibit. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to (i) require Seller to develop Major Enhancements or new features at the request of TWC, (ii) prevent Seller from declining to develop a Major Enhancement or new feature unless TWC and Seller agree with respect to a separate charge for the development and/or license of such Major Enhancement, or (iii) require a Purchaser to accept or install a particular Major Enhancement (in which case if the Purchaser declines to accept or install a particular Major Enhancement, Seller shall support the current version of the Software used by the Purchaser). Seller shall deliver each Major Enhancement to TWC prior to deployment to any Purchaser and at the same time as the Major Enhancement is made available to other Seller customers.

8.3

TWC may test each Minor Enhancement and Major Enhancement for a reasonable period of time not to exceed [**] days after receipt thereof to confirm that such Minor Enhancement or Major Enhancement does not contain any defects, problems or disturbances. During the testing process, Seller shall, if requested by TWC, provide TWC reasonable access to Seller personnel who can respond to questions regarding testing and acceptance or rejection of the Minor Enhancement or Major Enhancement. If such testing reveals that an Minor Enhancement or Major Enhancement contains a defect, problem or disturbance, Seller shall promptly correct such issue and/or replace such Minor Enhancement or Major Enhancement with a corrected version. If Seller is not able to correct any such issue, a Purchaser will have the right not to deploy the Minor Enhancement or Major Enhancement (in which case Seller shall support the current version of the Software used by the Purchaser).

8.4

Provided that the affected Software is either within the Initial Warranty Period or covered by Support Services, Seller shall support each Minor Enhancement and Major Enhancement for a minimum period of [**] after release thereof to any Purchaser, and Seller shall in any event support the last [**] Major Versions (as defined herein) that have been released to any Purchaser. For purposes of this Exhibit, “Major Version” shall mean a version of the Software where there is a change in the X component of the X.YY.ZZ release number. All version numbers

shall be reasonably determined by Seller in accordance with normal industry practice. All Minor Enhancements and Major Enhancements shall (i) be fully compatible with the prior release of the Software, such that any and all software and equipment that is interoperable with the prior release shall be interoperable to the same extent with the then-current Minor Enhancement or Major Enhancement without the Purchaser having to make material expenditures for new equipment or other ancillary items and subject only to reasonable requirements agreed upon by TWC and Seller, and (ii) not cause any material diminution in functionality or performance of the Equipment or material non-compliance with the Specifications.

8.5

Seller shall make available to each Purchaser any and all changes and additions to, or reissues of, applicable documentation originally provided with the Software, as necessary to keep the documentation reasonably current with the latest release of the Software, [**]. Seller shall make available to each Purchaser, upon request, documentation for each Minor Enhancement or Major Enhancement describing each defect, problem and/or disturbance addressed by such Minor Enhancement or Major Enhancement and its solution, access to new files containing the solution, and a description of a test procedure to confirm the solution.

8.6

Seller shall not introduce any Minor Enhancement or Major Enhancement or any other revisions, modifications or alterations in any other form to the Software to TWC or any Purchaser unless and until Seller has delivered such Minor Enhancement or Major Enhancement or such other revisions, modifications or alterations to TWC for testing pursuant to Section 8.3 and such Minor Enhancement or Major Enhancement or such other revisions, modifications or alterations have been accepted by TWC.

9.	Remote Access.

To the extent that Seller is authorized to gain remote access to a Purchaser’s Equipment or System for purposes of performing its obligations hereunder, Seller shall ensure that (a) such access is restricted to authorized employees and contractors; (b) it provides TWC with a list of all such authorized employees and contractors upon TWC’s request; (c) such remote access is used solely for purposes of fulfilling Seller’s obligations under this Exhibit; (d) such remote access is obtained through a secure connection, which Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in obtaining; (e) Seller uses such remote access capability only to access Equipment or other products that are directly involved in Seller’s performance of its obligations hereunder and does not access any other Purchaser or third party systems, databases, equipment or software; (f) Seller shall comply with all applicable policies, standards and or requirements, as provided by TWC or Purchaser to Seller from time to time, provided that such rules and regulations have been provided to Seller sufficiently in advance so as to reasonably permit such compliance; and (g) Seller shall not utilize such remote access to gain access to any System Data. Upon TWC’s request, Seller will provide periodic security audits of its access of Purchasers’ Equipment and Systems and methods and will change authentication elements to such access to the Equipment and Systems periodically to maintain the integrity and security of Seller’s access.

10.	Term and Renewal of Support Services.

10.1

Seller agrees to provide, or have provided on its behalf, Support Services to the Purchasers (a) [**] for all Software that remains within the Initial Warranty Period, and (b) in return for the Support Services fees as set forth in Exhibit B – Prices for such additional Software as Purchaser has elected to purchase Support Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. To exercise an election to purchase Support Services, TWC and/or the applicable Purchaser shall issue a Purchase Order to Seller, which Purchase Order shall designate the Software to be supported.

10.2

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase and Seller shall offer to provide Support Services to such Purchaser (i) during the term of the Purchase Agreement and for a period of [**] years thereafter (or if earlier, until [**] years after End of Life with respect to any particular model of Equipment), and (ii) during any further period during which Seller provides support services to users of the Software generally (the period described in clauses (i) and (ii) being hereinafter referred to as the “Support Window”), provided that (a) such Purchaser’s license for the Software remains in effect, (b) such Purchaser has either kept current and continuously purchased Support Services for the Software, or such Purchaser is willing to pay any reinstatement fee specified herein. Seller shall provide Purchasers with written notice if at any xxxx Xxxxxx wishes to generally discontinue providing Support Services to users of the Software; provided, however, that Seller shall not discontinue the provision of Support Services to any Purchaser for any Software prior to the expiration of the Support Window. Upon written request from a Purchaser, which request must be made within [**] days following the receipt of Seller’s notice of proposed discontinuance, Seller will continue to offer to provide Support Services to such Purchaser for the period specified by such Purchaser in its request, not to exceed [**] months from the end of the Support Services term then in effect. A general discontinuance of support services to users of the Software does not include Seller’s cessation of support for a particular release or version of the Software, if Seller continues to provide support services for a subsequent release or version of the Software. Should a Purchaser discontinue Support Services for any period of time and at a later date desire to reinstate the Support Services, such Purchaser must first make a payment to Seller in an amount equal to the payments that would have been made if such Purchaser had not had an interruption in Support Services.

11.	Other Services

In addition to the Support Services specified in this Exhibit, Seller may, upon TWC’s request and Seller’s written agreement, provide TWC with additional technical support as professional services on a fee-for-service basis in accordance with Seller’s

then-current standard fees for such services. The actual professional services to be provided and the schedule for performance of such professional services shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing, and the fee shall be reasonable under the circumstances, taking into consideration the services to be performed and the rates or fees charged by comparable vendors for the provision of comparable services.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO

MASTER PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This First Amendment to the Master Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”) is effective as of January 1, 2014 (the “Amendment Date”) by and between Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC (“TWC”) and Casa Systems, Inc. (“Seller”). TWC and Seller may each be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used in this First Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

INTRODUCTION

1. TWC and Seller are parties to that certain Master Purchase Agreement, dated October 31, 2013 (the “Agreement”).

2. Seller has provided a quote, dated January 6, 2014, for equipment and services in response to TWC’s Request for Proposal (the “RFP Quote”) for the [**] service groups for TWC’s New York City CCAP project (the “NYC Project”) as set forth in Exhibit 1. In addition, TWC may purchase an additional [**] systems for the [**] markets (the “Expansion Order”).

3. The RFP Quote and the Expansion Order include certain equipment in configurations not currently included as Equipment under the Agreement (“Additional Equipment”) and/or lower pricing for certain Equipment that is currently included under the Agreement (the “Price Reduction”).

4. Based on the RFP Quote, TWC expects to issue Purchase Orders for the NYC Project aggregating approximately [**] dollars ($[**]) on or about February 5, 2014. TWC is further considering the purchase of approximately an additional [**] systems for the [**] markets on or before June 30, 2014.

5. Based on the foregoing premises, the Parties wish to amend Attachment A to Exhibit B to the Agreement to include the Additional Equipment and Price Reduction as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, TWC and Seller agree as follows:

1. Conditional Amendment to Attachment A to Exhibit B of the Agreement. Effective as of the Amendment Date, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2 of this First Amendment, Attachment A to Exhibit B of the Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in Appendix A to this First Amendment. Should there be any conflict between the terms and conditions in Exhibit B of the Agreement and Appendix A to this First Amendment, the terms and conditions of Appendix A to this First Amendment shall control to resolve such conflict. The Equipment and Software listed in Appendix A to this First Amendment shall be included within the term “Equipment” for all purposes of the Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the delivery dates for Equipment ordered pursuant to Purchase Orders placed by TWC and/or the Purchasers for the NYC Project and for any Expansion Order shall be established by mutual agreement of the Parties. The Parties shall

participate in a weekly status call to discuss the status of deliveries to be made pursuant to such Purchase Orders until such time as all deliveries called for under such Purchase Orders have been made. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that Section 5.5(a) of the Agreement shall not apply with respect to Purchase Orders placed by TWC and/or the Purchasers for the NYC Project or for any Expansion Order, and thus TWC and the Purchasers shall not be entitled to terminate any such Purchase Orders without cause in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5(a). For clarity, nothing in this Section shall affect in any way TWC and the Purchasers’ right to terminate Purchase Orders pursuant to Section 5.5(b) or Section 20.2 or any other provision of the Agreement.

2. Failure to Timely Place Purchase Orders for NYC Project. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) Seller’s RFP Quote for the NYC Project is based upon service group and related information obtained from TWC, and (ii) the assumed number of systems and system configurations for the NYC Project may change after site assessments are completed by TWC and Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this First Amendment is explicitly made conditional upon TWC and the Purchasers issuing Purchase Orders for the NYC Project totaling an aggregate of approximately [**] dollars ($[**]) (the term “approximately” meaning for purposes of this Section 2 that the aggregate amount of the Purchase Orders shall be not less than [**]% of the specified amount). Such Purchase Orders must be placed on or about February 1, 2014, but in no event later than February 15, 2014 (the “Purchase Order Deadline”). If TWC and the Purchasers fail to place such Purchase Orders, then this First Amendment shall be considered to be void and without any effect, and the Pricing set forth in Attachment A to Exhibit B of the Agreement as in effect prior to this First Amendment shall remain in effect. However, the pricing set forth in Appendix A to this First Amendment shall apply to the Purchase Orders placed on or after the Amendment Date and prior to the Purchase Order Deadline.

3. Future Pricing and Expansion Order. Provided that TWC and the Purchasers have placed the Purchase Orders specified in Section 2 above on or before the Purchase Order Deadline, the Pricing set forth in Appendix A to this First Amendment shall apply to all Purchase Orders for Equipment placed on or after the Amendment Date, including without limitation any Expansion Order.

4. Installation Services. Seller wishes to provide installation Services for the installation of the Equipment purchased by TWC and the Purchasers in connection with the NYC Project. It is Seller’s intent to work with a third party vendor that specializes in such work and has performed such work for TWC in NYC. Seller intends to work closely with the TWC team in NYC to make sure that Seller’s installation Services partner is acceptable to TWC. In order to provide the installation Services, Seller will need to perform hub site assessments and develop a detailed Statement of Work (“SOW”) covering each hub site. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop such SOWs and provide a [**] price that is competitive with the price charged for substantially similar installation services by third parties under similar circumstances. The terms of the SOWs will be negotiated in good faith by Seller and will be subject to mutual agreement of the Parties. Seller will provide TWC and the Purchasers a [**] off the final, mutually agreed price for the NYC installation Services.

5. Effect on Agreement. Except as specifically amended by this First Amendment, all terms and conditions of the Agreement are unamended and will remain in full force and effect.

6. Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed a single document. Signatures delivered by facsimile shall have the same force and effect as original signatures.

7. Governing Law. This First Amendment shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of New York, other than such laws, rules, regulations and case law that would result in the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

The Parties have executed this First Amendment as of the date first written above.

This Second Amendment to the Master Purchase Agreement (this “Second Amendment”) is entered into as of December 18, 2014, but effective for all purposes as of October 1, 2014 (the “Second Amendment Date”) by and between Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC (“TWC”) and Casa Systems, Inc. (“Seller”). TWC and Seller may each be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

INTRODUCTION

(a) TWC and Seller are parties to that certain Master Purchase Agreement, dated October 31, 2013, as amended effective as of January 1, 2014 (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

(c) Seller has offered the following incentives to TWC in connection with the Projects: (i) a [**] for Equipment ordered on or after the Second Amendment Date through March 31, 2015, and (ii) provided that TWC and the Purchasers place Purchase Orders for the purchase of an aggregate of not less than $[**] of Equipment for the Projects through March 31, 2015 (with such amount being determined prior to application of [**] described in clause (i) of this Paragraph C), [**] 16x8 upstream card with 64 channels in exchange for [**] 16x4 upstream card with 64 channels previously purchased by TWC or a Purchaser, for up to [**] 16x8 upstream cards with 64 channels (the “[**]” and collectively, the “Incentives”).

(d) The Parties now wish to amend the Agreement to add certain equipment not currently included as Equipment under the Agreement (“Additional Equipment”). Seller is further willing to fulfill Purchase Orders for the Projects and to provide TWC and the Purchasers with the Incentives, as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, TWC and Seller agree as follows:

•

Pricing; Additional Equipment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Pricing for Equipment to be purchased under the Agreement was amended pursuant to a conditional amendment to Attachment A to Exhibit B of the Agreement adopted pursuant to that certain First Amendment to Master Purchase Agreement dated effective as of January 1, 2014 (the “First Amendment”). The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the conditions referenced in the First Amendment were satisfied by TWC, and the Pricing set forth in the First Amendment is no longer conditional and remains in full force and effect, as amended pursuant to this Second

Amendment. Effective as of the Second Amendment Date, Attachment A to Exhibit B of the Agreement is amended to add the Additional Equipment set forth in Appendix A to this Second Amendment. The Equipment listed in Appendix A shall be included within the term “Equipment” for all purposes of the Agreement.

•

Purchase Orders for the Projects. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the delivery dates for Equipment ordered pursuant to Purchase Orders placed by TWC and/or the Purchasers for the Projects shall be established by mutual agreement of the Parties. The Parties shall participate in a weekly status call to discuss the status of deliveries to be made pursuant to such Purchase Orders until such time as all deliveries called for under such Purchase Orders have been made.

•

Incentives.

•

In calculating Pricing for Purchase Orders for the Projects placed during the period commencing on the Second Amendment Date and continuing through and including March 31, 2015, the Parties shall apply the [**] described in Paragraph C.(i) above to the Price of the Equipment ordered pursuant to the Purchase Order for the Projects.

•

Provided that TWC and the Purchasers place Purchase Orders for the purchase of an aggregate of not less than $[**] of Equipment for the Projects through March 31, 2015 (with such amount being determined prior to application of the discount described in Paragraph C.(i) above), Seller shall execute delivery of the [**] shall be based on a process and shipment dates, which shall not be later than September 30, 2015, mutually agreed by the Parties.

•

Seller acknowledges that TWC has made no commitment to purchase any volume of Equipment. Similarly, TWC has not committed to any fixed number of service groups that will participate in the Projects. Seller shall not have an exclusive privilege to sell to or otherwise provide TWC or the Purchasers with, and TWC and the Purchasers may contract with other manufacturers and suppliers for the procurement of, products and services similar to the Equipment and Services.

•

DOCSIS 3.1 Compliance.

•

Seller shall develop and make available to TWC and the Purchasers software for the 8x96 line cards and FaTDMA software for the 16x8 line cards (such cards, collectively, the “DOCSIS 3.1 Cards”) that will be interoperable with DOCSIS 3.1-compliant cable modems (the “DOCSIS 3.1 Support”) no later than September 30, 2015. In order to meet the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence, Seller shall provide TWC and the Purchasers, without additional charge, an Update to the Software. Such Update shall be provided by Seller in a form that may be installed by remote Download into the DOCSIS 3.1 Cards,

should a Purchaser so choose. Further, once such Update has been Accepted as provided in Section 4(b) below, TWC and Purchaser may request and upon such request Seller shall cause the specified DOCSIS 3.1 Cards, as applicable, delivered on or after the date of such Acceptance to include such Update in the unit as delivered. The DOCSIS 3.1 Support described in this Section 4(a) shall be a part of and shall be included within the Specifications for the DOCSIS 3.1 Cards as of the earlier of (i) the date the Software that Seller has updated to provide the DOCSIS 3.1 Support has been Accepted by TWC as provided in Section 4(b) below (subject, if applicable, to any DOCSIS 3.1 Support waived pursuant to clause (2) thereof), and (ii) the date on which Seller makes DOCSIS 3.1 Cards with DOCSIS 3.1 Support commercially available.

•

Seller shall provide TWC a version of the Software that Seller has updated to provide the DOCSIS 3.1 Support for testing purposes no later than September 30, 2015. TWC may test such Software for a reasonable period of time not to exceed [**] days after receipt thereof to confirm that such Software complies in all material respects with the Specifications therefor, including without limitation the requirements of Section 4(a) above, and does not contain any material defects or problems. During the testing process, Seller shall, if requested by TWC, provide TWC reasonable access to Seller personnel who can respond to questions regarding testing and acceptance or rejection of such Software. If TWC determines that such Software complies in all material respects with the Specifications therefor, including without limitation the requirements of Section 4(a) above, and does not contain any material defects or problems, TWC shall accept such Software that provides the DOCSIS 3.1 Support (“Accept” or “Acceptance”). If such testing reveals that such Software fails to comply in all material respects with the Specifications, or does contain material defects or problems, TWC shall notify Seller and Seller shall promptly correct such issue and/or replace such Software with a corrected version that provides the DOCSIS 3.1 Support. TWC shall then have an additional period of up to [**] days to retest such Software. If the defects or problems still have not been remedied, or there are new defects or problems, then TWC may at its option and by written notice to Seller no later than [**] days after completion of such retest either, in its sole discretion: (1) again reject such Software and repeat the procedure set forth in this Section; or (2) waive the deficiency, with any such waiver being set forth in writing and constituting Acceptance. If TWC elected the option set forth in clause (1) on at least one prior occasion (thus providing Seller the opportunity to cure any deficiencies), and Seller has not provided Software with DOCSIS 3.1 Support on or before December 31, 2015, (i) TWC and the Purchasers may cancel any or all Purchase Orders then outstanding for the purchase of Equipment, provided that such Purchase Orders were issued subsequent to the Second Amendment Date, and (ii) Seller shall [**] (including without limitation any purchase Price that is paid after December 31, 2015) to Xxxxxx for all Equipment ordered by TWC or the Purchasers for the Projects through

March 31, 2015 and subsequent to the Second Amendment Date, [**]shall be paid within [**] days after TWC’s written notice of its election of the remedy set forth in this sentence (or if the purchase Price is paid after such date, within [**] days after payment of such purchase Price). The remedies set forth above shall be TWC and the Purchasers’ sole and exclusive remedies with respect to Seller’s failure to provide the DOCSIS 3.1 Support. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall relieve Seller from its obligations as set forth in the Agreement regarding compliance with the Specifications, including without limitation Seller’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the DOCSIS 3.1 Support with respect to DOCSIS 3.1 Cards purchased by TWC and the Purchasers on and after the Second Amendment Date for the Projects.

•

TWC and Seller acknowledge that it is impractical and extremely difficult to determine the actual damages or lost revenues that may proximately result from Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Section 4. [**], and (ii) reasonable and not disproportionate to the presumed damages to TWC and/or the Purchasers, as the case may be, in lost revenues or otherwise from a failure by the other to comply with the applicable provisions of this Amendment.

•

Expiration of Discount. Section 3(a) of this Second Amendment shall expire on March 31, 2015, except that any discount with respect to any Purchase Order for the Projects placed on or before such date shall survive. For clarity, Section 3(b) shall not expire and shall continue in effect in accordance with its terms.

•

Effect on Agreement. Except as specifically amended by this Second Amendment, the Agreement will remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.

•

Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed a single document. Signatures delivered by facsimile shall have the same force and effect as original signatures.

•

Governing Law. This Second Amendment shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of New York, other than such laws, rules, regulations and case law that would result in the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
