EXHIBIT I TO MEMBER OFFER AGREEMENT

Applicable to Members Selecting Option X-0, Xxxxxx X-0, Xxxxxx X-0 or Option B-2

DETERMINING XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXX REPORTABILITY¹

As a general matter, the Act and the Rules require both acquiring and acquired persons to file notifications under the Program if all of the following conditions are met:

One person has sales or assets of at least $100 million;

The other person has sales or assets of at least $10 million; and

As a result of the transaction, the acquiring person will hold an aggregate amount of stock and assets of the acquired person valued at more than $50 million; or

As a result of the transaction, the acquiring person will hold an aggregate amount of stock and assets of the acquired person valued at more than $200 million, regardless of the sales or assets of the acquiring and acquired persons.¹

Acquiring and Acquired Persons/Acquired Entity

The first step in determining reportability is to identify who the “acquiring person” and “acquired person” are. “Person” is defined in Rules 801.1 (a)(l) and is the “ultimate parent entity” or “UPE” of the buyer or seller. That is, it is the entity that ultimately controls the buyer or seller.² The “acquired entity” is the specific entity whose assets or voting securities are being acquired. The acquired entity may also be its own UPE or it may be an entity within the acquired person.

Thus, in an asset acquisition, the acquiring person is the UPE of the buyer, and the acquired person is the UPE of the seller. The acquired entity is the entity whose assets are being acquired.

Size-of-Person Test

Once you have determined who the acquiring and acquired persons are, you must determine whether the size of each person meets the Act’s minimum size criteria. This “size of person” test generally measures a company based on the person’s last regularly prepared annual statement of income and expenses and its last regularly prepared balance sheet.³ The size of a person includes not only the entity that is making the acquisition or whose assets or securities are being acquired, but also the UPE and any other entities the UPE controls.⁴

The full document and additional information is available at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xx/xxx/xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

¹	See § 7A (a)(3) of the Act.

²	See "control" under 801.1 (b).

³	See Rule 801.11.

Size-of-Transaction Test

The next step is to determine what voting securities, assets, or combination of voting securities and assets are being transferred in the proposed transaction. Then you must determine the value of the voting securities and/or assets as well as the percentage of voting securities that will be “held as a result of the transaction.” Calculating what will be held as a result of the transaction (referred to as the “size of the transaction”) is complicated and requires the application of several rules, including Rules 801.10, 801.12, 801.13, 801.14 and 801.15. Assets held as a result of the transaction include those that will be transferred in the proposed transaction as well as certain assets of the acquired person that the acquiring person has purchased within the time limits outlined in Rule 801.13.

Once it has been determined that a particular transaction is reportable, each party must submit its notification to the FTC and the DOJ. In addition, each acquiring person must pay a filing fee to the FTC for each transaction that it reports.

SCHEDULE C (PART I) TO MEMBER OFFER AGREEMENT

Agreed Upon Terms and Conditions re: Member Contract Applicable

to Members Selecting Option C-1, Option C-2 or Option C-3

The Terms and Conditions set forth in this Schedule C (Part I) are applicable in the event that the Member has selected Option C-1, Option C-2 or Option C-3 in the Member Offer Agreement (“Agreement”) to which this Schedule C (Part I) is attached and are incorporated into such Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. If the Member selects any of Option C-1, Option C-2 or Option C-3, these provisions will become effective upon the close of business on the Closing Date specified in Section 2 of the Agreement into which these Terms and Conditions are incorporated, which Closing Date may vary depending upon when an executed copy of the Agreement is delivered by the Member to NRTC, as master servicer for DIRECTV, in accordance with the delivery instructions set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given such terms in the Agreement.

Section 1. DBS Services and Other Rights.

(a) Programming Rights. The DBS Services to be provided by DIRECTV to Member for distribution to Committed Member Residences and/or to Commercial Establishments (as both are defined under and subject to this Schedule C (Part I)) shall consist of twenty-two (22) cable programming services (“Cable Programming”); all other video, audio, data packages, “a la carte” programming services and other services which are transmitted by DIRECTV over the HCG Frequencies to Committed Member Residences and/or to Commercial Establishments to the extent DIRECTV has obtained such rights (“DIRECTV Programming”); the satellite transponder capacity; telemetry, tracking and control (“TT&C”) services to monitor the status of the satellite and facilities necessary to uplink, transmit and process the signals to deliver the Cable Programming; access control services to control subscriber access to programming, including report-back information related to purchase data; security services designed to prevent and/or respond to and remedy security breaches; and support services (which may be provided directly by DIRECTV through NRTC as master servicer). Cable Programming and DIRECTV Programming are referred to in these Terms and Conditions collectively as “Programming”. As used herein, “HCG Frequencies” means the twenty-seven FCC channels originally licensed to DIRECTV’s predecessor, Xxxxxx Communications Galaxy, at the 101° X.X. orbital location.

(b) Grant of Distribution Rights. DIRECTV grants to Member the exclusive right to market, sell and retain revenue from Programming (except Non-Select Services as defined in Section 1(c) of these Terms and Conditions) transmitted over the HCG Frequencies directly to “Committed Member Residences”, as such term was defined in such Member’s Existing Member Agreement (as amended, including the Exhibits thereto). Programming and the terms and conditions with respect to Programming marketed and sold to Committed Member Residences shall be the same as the Programming provided and the terms and conditions in effect under Member’s Existing Member Agreement, subject to amendment by DIRECTV from time to time. Any Committed Member Residence and/or Commercial Establishment, as applicable, which subscribes to Programming shall be deemed a “Subscriber” under these Terms and Conditions. Committed Member Residences shall be determined by and limited to the specific residences listed or the specific geographic area(s) acquired by Member (or any predecessor(s)-in-interest) under its (or their ) Existing Member Agreement(s). Member shall also have the right to market, sell and retain revenue from the distribution of Programming (except Non-Select Services) directly to commercial establishments such as hotels, bars and similar establishments (collectively, “Commercial Establishments”), with such Commercial Establishments being determined by and limited to those locations within counties or zip codes for which Member had the same rights with respect to Commercial Establishments under its Existing Member Agreement. The Programming that is available to be marketed

C(Part I)-1

and sold to Commercial Establishments shall be subject to amendment by DIRECTV from time to time. To the extent consistent with the Agreement (including these Terms and Conditions and the terms of the Programming agreements, Member shall have the right to establish the terms and conditions upon which it will market and sell Programming (except Non-Select Services) to such Committed Member Residences and/or Commercial Establishments and, subject to its payment to NRTC, as master servicer for DIRECTV, of all sums required under the Agreement (including these Terms and Conditions), shall be entitled to all revenues from such marketing and sales to Committed Member Residences and Commercial Establishments (“Member Revenues”). Any rights to distribute, market, sell and retain revenue from any of the Programming shall be subject to Section 8 of these Terms and Conditions and shall extend only to the extent and for the duration as may be provided under the relevant Programming agreements. Member acknowledges that DIRECTV may be unable to obtain the right for Member to distribute Programming to residences that have cable television service available.

(c) With respect to Programming, DIRECTV will provide Member (through NRTC, as master servicer) with a pro rata share of (i) unconstrained launch support payments (i.e., cash payments or cancellation of indebtedness DIRECTV actually receives from a programmer in conjunction with the launch of the programmer’s service with no restrictions on DIRECTV’s use of the funds), with no restrictions on Member’s use of the funds and (ii) constrained launch support payments (i.e., cash payments or cancellation of indebtedness which must be applied to promote such new services locally (as contrasted with national promotions)), which Member must use in the manner prescribed by the provider of such programming services. If receipt of any such payments would require Member to incur obligations beyond the amount distributed to Member, Member shall have a right to elect not to receive such payment. Member’s pro rata share shall be determined based upon the method used in the programming agreement to calculate the launch fee payments. For example, if the programming agreement provides a fixed launch fee amount, Member’s pro rata share shall be based on the percentage of Member households divided by total households in the United States. If the programming agreement provides a per subscriber launch fee payment based on actual subscribers to the programmer’s service, Member’s pro rata share shall be based on the actual number of Member Subscribers divided by the total number of subscribers to that particular service.

(d) DIRECTV shall also provide to Member a pro-rata share of Advertising Revenue, as had been provided pursuant to Section 5.04 of the DBS Distribution Agreement, on the Cable Programming.

(e) Non-Select Services. If a service or rights provider of DIRECTV Programming requires payment of minimum subscriber guarantees, advance payments or other similar commitments (collectively, “Commitment”), and if and to the extent DIRECTV requires Member to pay a pro rata share of such Commitment, DIRECTV shall establish and notify NRTC, as master servicer of the share that would be applicable to all NRTC members who have selected Option C-1, Option C-2 or Option C-3 (the “Option C Members”), including the Member (“Member’s Share”). If NRTC determines that the Option C Members shall each pay its Member’s Share, then such programming services shall be deemed Programming. If NRTC notifies DIRECTV that the Option C Members shall not pay the Member’s Share, then DIRECTV shall become the exclusive distributor of such service(s) vis-à-vis Member (“Non-Select Services”) and, in such event, Member shall xxxx and collect and pay to DIRECTV the revenues for Non-Select Services to Committed Member Residences and/or Commercial Establishments, as applicable. Member may retain five percent (5%) of the gross revenues collected by Member for the Non-Select Services except with respect to Sports League programming, in which event the Member shall retain ten percent (10%) of the gross revenues collected by Member. Member shall remit to DIRECTV through NRTC, as master servicer, all other amounts pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii) of these Terms and Conditions.

(f) Marketing. DIRECTV shall assist Member in marketing and promoting DBS Services. DIRECTV shall develop marketing materials and other information to be used by Member for national and local advertising and promotion of DBS Services. Marketing materials shall be provided to Member at no cost or at DIRECTV’s cost.

C(Part I)-2

(g) Exhibit Z Revenue Protection. DIRECTV and the Member hereby agree that, if any time during the Service Term, DIRECTV relocates any of the specific single NTSC-source programming channels listed on Exhibit Z attached hereto (the “Exhibit Z Channels”) to a DBS frequency or orbital location other than any of the twenty-seven (27) HCG Frequencies, the revenue share (including responsibility for programming costs) shall continue to be covered by those terms of the Agreement applicable to services transmitted on the HCG Frequencies for such Exhibit Z Channels, despite such relocation.

(h) Future Advanced Services. DIRECTV agrees to negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions under which Member may distribute future advanced services (other than TiVo, which is provided for under Schedule C (Part II) attached herewith), as provided between DIRECTV and NRTC in the Settlement.

Section 2. Role of NRTC.

(a) Master Servicer. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement in which these Terms and Conditions have been incorporated, NRTC and DIRECTV have (i) terminated the DBS Distribution Agreement and the New DBS Distribution Agreement and (ii) agreed to enter into a Master Servicer Agreement, pursuant to which NRTC, as master servicer to DIRECTV, will, among other things, continue to provide the Option C Members services that are materially comparable to the services that NRTC provided to the Member pursuant to the terminated Member Agreements.

(b) Support Services. DIRECTV, shall develop and provide to NRTC, as master servicer for DIRECTV, to enable NRTC to provide to Member, Subscriber authorization, retail billing and data reporting services in connection with the use of the DBS billing system currently in use by DIRECTV and NRTC, or a replacement thereto that is materially comparable to the current DBS billing system procedures and features (“DIRECTV Billing System”). With respect to these support services, NRTC, as master servicer to DIRECTV, shall (i) provide and perform all obligations necessary in connection with the DIRECTV Billing System, (ii) monitor and control all subcontractors under agreement to provide Member-specific portions of the DIRECTV Billing System, if any, and (iii) request and manage any and all identified change orders with subcontractors for DIRECTV Billing System improvements, if any, that are Member-specific. NRTC shall provide further central office Subscriber support services and other services related to the provisions of DBS Services as circumstances dictate. NRTC shall have the right to charge Member for any services or change orders provided specifically for it or at its request.

Section 3. Member’s Role.

(a) Marketing. Member shall, at its own expense, (i) use best efforts to promote, market and sell DBS Services to Committed Member Residences and/or Commercial Establishments ; (ii) participate in DIRECTV-sponsored promotional and advertising campaigns and cooperate with DIRECTV in marketing tests and research, as reasonably requested by DIRECTV; (iii) respond promptly to all inquiries about DBS Services; and (iv) use print, electronic and other media to promote the sale of DBS Services to the extent commercially practical.

(c) Billing and Collections. Member shall utilize the DIRECTV Billing System according to procedural guidelines and requirements established and amended by DIRECTV and NRTC from time to time and shall perform Subscriber payment processing described herein in a timely manner and on an accurate and efficient basis.

Member shall continue to use the remittance system currently in place, except that Member may change its remittance processing system at any time provided (1) Member gives written notice to NRTC as master servicer at least 90 days prior to Member’s requested effective date for the change and (2) DIRECTV provides written approval of such change (directly or through NRTC as master servicer), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Unauthorized Reception. Member shall take all reasonable steps required to ensure that DBS Services are not received at any unauthorized location or in any unauthorized manner. DIRECTV reserves the right to deny access to DBS Services to Subscribers whose descramblers have been the subject of unauthorized or inappropriate use, as determined by DIRECTV. Member shall cooperate with DIRECTV and assist in implementing security measures designed to prevent and/or respond to or remedy security breaches related to the DBS Services.

Section 4. Payment Terms.

(a) Substantially Similar Terms. Member and DIRECTV agree that the fees and charges paid by Member hereunder shall be calculated in substantially the same manner as those fees and charges previously paid by Member to NRTC pursuant to Member’s Existing Member Agreement. The Member shall pay for the DBS Services (including, without limitation, TT&C fees, ground service fees, authorization fees, support service fees, security service fees, system fees, royalty fees and programming charges) at their actual costs or at the costs previously charged by DIRECTV to NRTC. In addition (and in lieu of the margin previously charged by NRTC) Member shall pay a xxxx-up of $4.50 per Subscriber per month, which xxxx-up shall be increased annually by DIRECTV in accordance with an adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index in non-urban regions. Member shall pay any actual costs incurred by NRTC on Member’s behalf in connection with NRTC’s provision to Member of services related to Member’s activities hereunder (e.g., communications, postage and paper) that are consistent with services previously provided by NRTC to Member.

(b) Invoices. Bills rendered by NRTC, as master servicer, to Member under the Agreement shall be due and payable to NRTC, as master servicer, within 15 days of the date of invoice. Member shall be liable to NRTC, as master servicer, for all charges regardless of whether Member actually collects or receives payment from Subscribers. Payments are due to NRTC, as master servicer, within

C(Part I)-4

fifteen (15) days of the date of the invoice or such other time period as NRTC may from time to time establish. All late payments shall be subject to interest and service charges at NRTC’s standard rates. Should Member fail to pay in a timely manner any fees or other amounts due NRTC, as master servicer for DIRECTV, then NRTC, in such capacity, shall have the right to offset such amounts against and to deduct such amounts from any fees or sums that may be payable to Member for the marketing or sale of the DBS Services or any services provided by NRTC in connection with the Agreement (including these Terms and Conditions) or the Master Servicer Agreement.

(c) Place of Payment. All payments by Member pursuant to these Terms and Conditions shall be made to NRTC, as master servicer to DIRECTV at the address provided in Section 7 in the Agreement and shall be deemed received and made only upon actual receipt by NRTC.

(d) Suspension of Services for Non-Payment.

(i) If NRTC does not receive full and timely payment from Member of the fees described in this Section 4, after written notice to Member and a 10-day period to cure, DIRECTV or NRTC, as appropriate, may, in addition to the rights set forth in Section 13 of these Terms and Conditions, (A) suspend any and all DBS Services to Member or Subscribers; (B) provide all DBS Services to and receive payment directly from Subscribers; and/or (C) commence collection procedures or judicial action, at law or in equity, to collect such sums, damages, costs, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and other third party fee(s), collectively “Expenses”).

(ii) If NRTC (A) has received full payment of fees due from Member, but does not timely pay DIRECTV, under the Master Servicer Agreement, all or any portion of such fees that are due DIRECTV by NRTC or (B) fails to identify Member to DIRECTV as delinquent, then under the Master Servicer Agreement DIRECTV may not suspend DBS Service to Member or Subscribers but may thereafter require Member to pay such fees directly to DIRECTV rather than to NRTC, as master servicer.

Section 5. Service Term. Unless the Agreement is cancelled, terminated, or expires earlier, the Agreement shall remain in effect during the Service Term. The Service Term shall run from the close of business on the Closing Date until the “Termination Date,” defined as:

DIRECTV also may make available approved promotional materials with the names, trademarks and/or logos of DIRECTV or the programming providers for Member’s use in marketing, advertising or promotion of DBS Services or DIRECTV services in accordance with guidelines furnished by DIRECTV.

C(Part I)-7

Section 11. DIRECTV Sale.

(a) DIRECTV is required to provide to Member (through NRTC, as master servicer) five percent (5%) of the Net Proceeds from any DIRECTV Sale.

Member recognizes that Net Proceeds, if any, shall not include interest. DIRECTV sale-leasebacks (or the like), public offerings or stock offerings, inter-Affiliate transfers or restructures or other DIRECTV sales or leases in which the Member continues to retain the distribution rights to Programming transmitted over the capacity are specifically excluded from the definition of a DIRECTV Sale. For purposes of Section 13 of these Terms and Conditions, the term “refunds” as used therein shall include Net Proceeds, if applicable.

Section 12. Termination of Master Servicer Agreement. In the event the Master Servicer Agreement is terminated, except as provided in Section 14, DIRECTV may terminate the Agreement (including these Terms and Conditions) and neither party shall have any further obligations regarding the other except as specifically provided in the Agreement.

Section 13. Breach by Member. If Member fails to make any and all payments due to NRTC, as master servicer, under the Agreement, or otherwise breaches or fails to perform a material obligation under the Agreement, then, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, DIRECTV or NRTC, as appropriate, may in its sole discretion and upon thirty (30) days written notice to Member, including therein a ten (10) day period for Member to cure, (i) suspend all DBS Services to Member and/or Subscribers; (ii) terminate the Agreement; and (iii) bring an action for and immediately declare due and payable all sums due and owing to NRTC or DIRECTV. In addition, if DIRECTV has suspended any and all of the DBS Services to Member and/or Subscribers for sixty (60) or more days under Section 4(d) of these Terms and Conditions, then DIRECTV may terminate the Agreement immediately upon notice to Member, and DIRECTV may bring an action at law or in equity to collect from Member the sums due under Section 4 to NRTC, as master servicer, and the liabilities, costs, damages and Expenses associated therewith.

Section 15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS IN THE AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NEITHER DIRECTV NOR NRTC SHALL BE LIABLE TO MEMBER FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF CUSTOMERS OR CLIENTS, CLAIMS OF CUSTOMERS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR LOSS OF PROFITS OR MARGINS, ARISING IN ANY MANNER FROM THE AGREEMENT AND THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS. ANY AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE OR USE, ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED BY DIRECTV AND NRTC EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN. IT EXPRESSLY IS AGREED THAT DIRECTV’S AND/OR NRTC’S SOLE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM A BREACH OF THE AGREEMENT, AND MEMBER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LIABILITY ARISING FROM NEGLIGENCE), ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT AND/OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, ARE THOSE SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 10 AND 16 OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES OF ANY KIND ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED.

NRTC shall also have the right to obtain such injunctive relief with respect to Member. If either party should bring an action against the other in order to enforce any provision of the Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys fees and costs in addition to any other remedy it may have.

Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to limit Member’s rights to receive any outage credits, if applicable, pursuant to Section 10 of these Terms and Conditions.

SCHEDULE C (PART II) TO MEMBER OFFER AGREEMENT

Additional Agreed Upon Terms and Conditions re: Seamless Consumer Program Applicable to Members Selecting Option C-1, Option C-2 or Option C-3

The Terms and Conditions set forth in this Schedule C (Part II) are applicable in the event that the Member has selected Option C-1, Option C-2 or Option C-3 in the Member Offer Agreement (the “Agreement”) to which this Schedule C (Part II) is attached and are incorporated into such Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. If the Member selects any of Option C-1, Option C-2 or Option C-3, these provisions will become effective upon the Closing Date specified in Section 2 of the Agreement into which these Terms and Conditions are incorporated, which Closing Date may vary depending upon when an executed copy of the Agreement is delivered by the Member to NRTC, as master servicer for DIRECTV, in accordance with the delivery instructions set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given such terms in the Agreement.

A. Element One: Non-Exclusive Sales Agent.

1. Scope. DIRECTV hereby authorizes the Member to act as a non-exclusive (subject to the terms hereof) sales agent in all territories in which the Member has acquired rights to distribute the DBS Services (the “Member Territories”) for (a) the premium movie video programming services distributed by DIRECTV on the frequencies of 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32 (the “non-HCG Frequencies”) at 101° X.X. (the “Former USSB Services”), (b) the local network video programming services distributed by DIRECTV on the non-HCG Frequencies at 101° X.X., and at the 110° X.X., 119° X.X. and 72.5° X.X. orbital locations (the “Local Services”), (c) those sports pay per view events (if any) distributed by DIRECTV on the non-HCG Frequencies at 101° X.X. (the “Added Events”), (d) the high definition programming services distributed by DIRECTV at the 110° X.X. and 119° X.X. orbital locations (the “HD Programming”), (e) the DIRECTV DVR^® subscription services distributed by DIRECTV in conjunction with TiVo, Inc. (the “TiVo Services”), (f) the DIRECTV PARA TODOS^™ programming services distributed by DIRECTV at the 119° X.X. orbital location (the “PARA TODOS Services”), and (g) DIRECTV-The Guide (the “Programming Guide”), and together with the Former USSB Services, Local Services, Added Events, HD Programming, TiVo Services and PARA TODOS Services, the “Added Services”). In its role as sales agent, the Member shall be responsible for providing, at its sole cost, all billing, customer care and sales and marketing activities with respect to the delivery of such Added Services to customers in the Member Territories.

(a) TiVo Services and HD Programming Customers Care Escalation Procedures. Member acknowledges that customer care for the TiVo Services and/or HD Programming may require additional training, expertise and call time, all of which shall be undertaken at Member’s sole cost. DIRECTV shall provide (directly or through NRTC as master servicer), at no cost to Member, samples of training materials, as updated from time to time, utilized by DIRECTV in its delivery of customer care for the TiVo Services and HD Programming. Member shall take appropriate actions to ensure that its customer agents have appropriate training and processes in place to handle the additional customer care responsibilities associated with the TiVo Services and HD Programming. In those cases where, despite such efforts by Member, a technical question is presented by a customer that Member’s agents are not able to answer, Member will have in place escalation processes to route such call to NRTC’s corporate offices. If, after good faith efforts, NRTC’s corporate offices are unable to answer such inquiry, then such offices shall request assistance from DIRECTV’s technical assistance desk (pursuant to procedures mutually agreed upon by NRTC and DIRECTV), and DIRECTV’s technical assistance desk shall use reasonable efforts to provide to NRTC technical assistance with the same level of care and responsiveness as DIRECTV provides to its own customer care agents. NRTC, as master servicer, shall in turn provide such assistance to Member. In no event shall Member direct customers or Member’s customer service representatives to contact DIRECTV’s technical assistance desk directly.

2. As consideration for Member’s activities as a sales agent, Member shall be entitled to receive the following amounts (the “Revenue Share”):

(a) Former USSB Services: The Revenue Share during any billing cycle shall be the greater of (a) 15% of the gross revenue collected from Member customers with respect to Former USSB Services provided to such customers during that billing cycle, and (b) 10% of the gross revenue collected from Member customers with respect to Former USSB Services provided to such customers during that billing cycle, plus an additional 1% of gross revenue collected for every incremental four percentage points by which the Service Penetration Rate (as calculated below) of Former USSB Services in the territory of all Option C Members (the “Option C Territory”) customer base exceeds the Services Penetration Rate for the calendar month ending on June 30, 2000 (such rate, as calculated in accordance with the methodology previously agreed upon and implemented by DIRECTV and NRTC, the “Base Service Penetration Rate”), up to an aggregate maximum percentage of total gross collected revenue of 20%. The Revenue Share for any billing cycle shall be based on the Service Penetration Rate for such billing cycle. The Service Penetration Rate shall be calculated by dividing the total number of Service Units purchased by all Option C Territory residential customers by the total number of Option C Territory residential customer counts). One Service Unit shall be counted for each of the following sets of services purchased by an Option C Territory customer in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement (or the agreement of such other Option C Member(s), as applicable): (i) the entire set of HBO services, consisting of “HBO Works” (five services) plus “HBO Family” (two services) plus, solely in the case of DIRECTV PARA TODOS customers, HBO Latino; (ii) the entire “Multimax” set of Cinemax services (three services); and (iii) the entire “Showtime Unlimited” set of services (five Showtime services, The Movie Channel, one FLIX channel and Sundance Channel). Customers receiving free promotions of Former USSB Services shall not be included as purchasers of such services when calculating the Service Penetration Rate. Member shall (in coordination with NRTC, as master servicer) calculate on a monthly basis, the Service Penetration Rate using methodologies and assumptions which are consistent with those used in the calculation for the Base Service Penetration Rate.

(i)

The gross revenue collected with respect to the Former USSB Services shall be calculated based upon the price of the Former USSB Services as specified on Attachment One, as amended in writing from time to time, and Member shall be authorized to sell Former USSB Services only at those prices, and in those a la carte and package configurations, identified in such Attachment. As of the date of the Agreement, the pricing and packaging of the Former USSB Services is as set forth in Attachment One, attached hereto and hereby incorporated by reference. DIRECTV shall not amend Attachment One except to reflect equivalent changes in packages and pricing as are implemented by DIRECTV in DIRECTV territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event DIRECTV provides a programming offer in DIRECTV territory that involves free or reduced prices for a limited period of time with respect to the Former USSB Services (an “Offer”), then Member shall make such same Offer regarding Former USSB Services to its customers, and, with respect to customers receiving the Offer, throughout the term of the Offer, (y) the gross revenue collected with respect to Former USSB Services shall be calculated based upon such free and reduced price set forth in the Offer, and (z) such customers shall not be included in the Service Penetration Rate during the term of such Offer.

C(Part II)-2

(ii)

DIRECTV agrees that throughout the Term of the Agreement, it shall continue to allow Member to offer and sell the Former USSB Services in a la carte offerings (as identified by DIRECTV), subject to any restraints or restrictions by the programming providers thereof. DIRECTV shall promptly notify Member in writing (directly or through NRTC as master servicer) of any changes in such restraints or restrictions.

(iii)

Member shall provide NRTC access to such information as is sufficient to permit NRTC as master servicer to deliver to DIRECTV, on a monthly basis, detailed documentation setting forth the calculation of the applicable Revenue Share rate, the number of Service Units for the applicable billing cycle, and the Service Penetration Rate.

(iv)

The Parties shall work together, along with NRTC, to provide to each other the necessary information for purposes of the foregoing calculations, including information regarding the rate of purchase of each of the respective packages and a la carte offerings of Former USSB Services.

(v)

For purposes of clarification, those high definition services that are delivered at the 110° X.X. and 119° X.X. orbital locations and offered by DIRECTV solely as part of a package that otherwise includes only Former USSB Services shall be treated for purposes of all Revenue Share calculations as Former USSB Services, and not as HD Programming.

(b) Local Services: The Revenue Share for Local Services during any billing cycle shall be the greater of (a) 15% of the gross revenue collected from Member Territory customers with respect to Local Services provided to customers during that billing cycle, and (b) 10% of the gross revenue collected from Member Territory customers with respect to Local Services provided to customers during that billing cycle, plus an additional 1% of such gross revenue collected for every two percentage points by which the Local Markets Penetration Rate (as calculated below) exceeds 40%, up to an aggregate maximum percentage of total gross collected revenue of 20%. The Revenue Share for any billing cycle shall be based on the Local Markets Penetration Rate for such billing cycle. The Local Markets Penetration Rate shall be calculated by dividing the number of Option C Territory residential customers in the relevant DMA purchasing Local Services in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement (or the agreement of such other Option C Member(s), as applicable) by the total number of Option C Territory residential customers in the relevant DMA for whom Local Services are available (calculated by averaging the beginning and billing cycle-end applicable residential customer counts). Member shall be authorized to sell the Local Services only at those prices, and in those a la carte and package configurations (if any), as are offered by DIRECTV in DIRECTV territory and confirmed in writing to Member (directly or though NRTC as master servicer) by DIRECTV. The gross revenue collected with respect to the Local Services shall be calculated based upon the price of the Local Services for the particular service offering selected by each individual customer, or, in the case of an authorized package that contains the Local Services as well as other services, the DIRECTV authorized incremental price of the Local Services offering that is contained in such combined package. For example, if DIRECTV authorizes a package combining the Total Choice package (containing services that are delivered from the 101° X.X. orbital location, and thus are not considered part of the Local Services revenue share calculation) and the Local Services, at a combined price that is $3.00 more than the price of the Total Choice package sold separately, then Member shall offer such combined package at a price that reflects the incremental $3.00 price from its standard Total Choice package price, and the gross revenue share for the Local Services when sold as part of such combined package shall be calculated as $3.00.

C(Part II)-3

(c) Additional Events and HD Programming: The Revenue Share with respect to each of the Added Events and HD Programming shall be 15% of the gross revenue collected from Member Territory customers with respect to such Added Events and HD Programming, respectively. The gross revenue collected with respect to the Added Events and HD Programming shall be calculated based upon the price of the Added Events or HD Programming, as applicable, for the particular service offering selected by each individual customer. Member shall be authorized to sell the Added Events and HD Programming only at those prices as are offered by DIRECTV in DIRECTV territory and confirmed in writing to Member by DIRECTV (directly or through NRTC as master servicer).

(d) TiVo Services: The Revenue Share for TiVo Services shall be 15% of the gross revenue collected from Member Territory customers with respect to TiVo Services provided to such customers during that billing cycle, plus an additional 1% of gross revenue collected for every incremental percentage point by which the Service Penetration Rate (as calculated below) to TiVo Services in the Option C Territory customer base exceeds the Base Service Penetration Rate, as defined below, up to an aggregate maximum percentage of total gross collected revenue of 20%. The “Base Service Penetration Rate” for TiVo Services shall equal the penetration rate experienced by DIRECTV with respect to the TiVo Services in DIRECTV territory during the preceding calendar quarter, as notified by DIRECTV to Member (directly or through NRTC as master servicer) from time to time. The Revenue Share for any billing cycle shall be based on the Service Penetration Rate for such billing cycle. The Service Penetration Rate shall be calculated by dividing the number of Option C Territory residential customers purchasing TiVo Services in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement (or the agreement of such other Option C Member(s), as applicable) by the total number of Option C Territory residential customers (calculated by averaging the beginning and billing cycle-end applicable residential customer counts). The gross revenue collected with respect to the TiVo Services shall be calculated based upon the price of the TiVo Services for the particular service offering selected by each individual customer, or, in the case of an authorized package that contains the TiVo Services as well as other services, the price of the TiVo Service offering that is contained in such combined package (i.e., $4.99 or the then-current price for the TiVo Service offering, except in the case of an authorized package also containing Total Choice Premier, as to which the TiVo Services price is zero ($0)). Member shall be authorized to sell the TiVo Services only at those prices, and in those a la carte and package configurations (if any), as are offered by DIRECTV in DIRECTV territory and confirmed in writing to Member by DIRECTV. The current prices and package confirmations for the TiVo Services are set forth on Attachment Two, attached hereto and hereby incorporated by reference.

(e) PARA TODOS Services: The Revenue Share for PARA TODOS services shall be 15% of the gross revenue collected from Member Territory customers with respect to PARA TODOS Services provided to such customers during that billing cycle, plus an additional 1% of gross revenue collected for every incremental 0.4 percentage points by which the Service Penetration Rate (as calculated below) of PARA TODOS Services in the Option C Territory customer base exceeds 4.0% up to an aggregate maximum percentage of total gross collected revenue of 20%. The Revenue Share for any billing cycle shall be based on the Service Penetration Rate for such billing cycle. The Service Penetration Rate shall be calculated by dividing the number of Option C Territory residential customers purchasing PARA TODOS Services in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement (or the agreement of such other Option C Member(s), as applicable) by the total number of Option C Territory residential customers (calculated by averaging the beginning and billing cycle-end applicable residential customer counts). Member shall be authorized to sell the PARA TODOS Services only at those prices, and in those a la carte and package configurations (if any), as are offered by DIRECTV in DIRECTV territory and confirmed in writing to Member by DIRECTV (directly or through NRTC as master servicer). The current prices and package configurations for the PARA TODOS Services are set forth on Attachment Three, attached hereto and hereby incorporated by reference. The gross revenue collected

C(Part II)-4

with respect to the PARA TODOS Services shall be calculated based upon the price of the PARA TODOS offering, or, in the case of an authorized package that contains the PARA TODOS Services as well as other services that are delivered from the 101° X.X. orbital location (and thus are not considered part of the PARA TODOS Services revenue share calculation), the gross revenue collected with respect to the PARA TODOS Services shall be calculated as 20% of the authorized price of the combined package.

(f) Payment Mechanics: Member shall, no later than seven business days after the billing system accounting close for each month, pay to DIRECTV through NRTC as master servicer the Billed Added Service Revenues minus the Adjustment Amount. The “Billed Added Service Revenues” shall consist of the gross revenues billed by Member in the prior billing cycle for Added Services delivered to Member customers, less the applicable Revenue Share. The “Adjustment Amount” shall be the product of the amount paid in the prior billing cycle as Billed Added Service Revenues times the Member bad debt rate for the prior billing cycle. Member shall, working with NRTC as master servicer, provide supporting documentation with each such payment, identifying the calculation of the Billed Added Service Revenues, Service Penetration Rate, Revenue Share, Member bad debt rate and Adjustment Amount, as well as such further information as is reasonably requested, including a breakdown of the purchase rate of Local Services by DMA.

(i)

The Member bad debt rate shall be the actual bad debt rate experienced by Member with respect to all of the DIRECTV services offered by Member.

(ii)

DIRECTV shall use good faith efforts (and Member shall cooperate with DIRECTV in such efforts) to ensure that a report is created and provided to Member (directly or through NRTC as master servicer) on a monthly basis containing such information as is necessary to allow NRTC and Member to calculate the Billed Added Service Revenues.

(g) Programming Guide: Member agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to market the Programming Guide to customers in Member Territories.

(i)

The price for the Programming Guide shall be the current price charged by DIRECTV in DIRECTV territory, as notified by DIRECTV (directly or through NRTC as master servicer) to Member from time to time (the “Current Price”). The Current Price for the Programming Guide as of the date of the Agreement is set forth on Attachment Four, attached hereto and hereby incorporated by reference. In the event DIRECTV provides a Programming Guide offer in DIRECTV territory that involves free or reduced prices for the Programming Guide (a “Programming Guide Offer”), then Member shall make such same Programming Guide Offer available to its customers and, with respect to customers receiving the Offer, throughout the term of the Offer, the Current Price charged to Member pursuant to the calculation below with respect to the Programming Guide shall be calculated based upon such free or reduced price set forth in the Programming Guide Offer.

(ii)

The calculation of Billed Added Service Revenues in Section B.2.f shall not include the revenue from the Programming Guide, and in lieu thereof, the provisions of this Section B.2.g(ii) shall apply. Member shall retain the Revenue Share for the Programming Guide, to be calculated as the gross amount of Programming Guide revenues received by Member, less the Programming Guide Xxxxxxxx for the Programming Guide, as calculated below. DIRECTV shall xxxx Member for, and Member shall pay to DIRECTV through NRTC as master

C(Part II)-5

servicer, the Programming Guide Xxxxxxxx for the Programming Guide on a monthly billing cycle basis, based upon the number of Programming Guides mailed to customers in Member Territories during such period, as set forth below:

DIRECTV-The Guide Programming Guide Xxxxxxxx =

Number of DIRECTV-The Guide Programming Guides mailed in Member Territory times 75% times the Current Price of DIRECTV-The Guide.

Member shall subtract from each payment of Programming Guide Xxxxxxxx an adjustment amount, calculated as the product of the amount paid in the prior month as Programming Guide Xxxxxxxx times the Member bad debt rate for the prior billing cycle (as calculated in accordance with Section B.2.f).

(iii)

If requested by Member, the Parties shall discuss in good faith increasing Member’s applicable revenue share percentage (currently 25% pursuant to the calculation above) in exchange for increased marketing efforts and sales of the Programming Guide. In addition, if requested by Member, the Parties shall discuss in good faith the customization of the Programming Guide for Member Territory, with either Member paying the costs of such customization or a corresponding decrease in Member revenue share percentage to reflect the increased cost of such customization.

(iv)

Generation of the mailing list of the Programming Guides will take place in the same manner as previously undertaken by DIRECTV and NRTC with respect to DIRECTV-The Guide; DIRECTV, or its agent, will on a weekly basis extract from the billing system the list of applicable DIRECTV Programming Guide customers who shall receive a Programming Guide, and shall forward the information to the appropriate entity for fulfillment.

(v)

DIRECTV agrees that the use or sharing by DIRECTV of any Member subscriber information as set forth in Sections B.2.g (iv) above shall be undertaken solely to the extent necessary to facilitate the distribution of the Programming Guides and to comply with the terms of DIRECTV’s agreement with the publisher of the Programming Guide.

(vi)

DIRECTV will provide Member (directly or though NRTC as master servicer), without charge to Member, free copies of the Programming Guide to be distributed to Member customer service agents.

(vii)

In addition to the other termination provisions of the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement as they apply to the Programming Guide shall terminate, in the event of termination of the agreement between DIRECTV and the publisher of the Programming Guide.

3. Member and DIRECTV acknowledge that it is their intent in undertaking this Element One to offer customers in their respective territories as little difference or disruption between the territory lines as possible. Accordingly, both Member and DIRECTV agree to discuss in advance any proposed

C(Part II)-6

price changes for the video programming services and packages that are not part of the Added Services. Any such information regarding possible pricing changes shall be treated as confidential information under the Agreement.

4. Member sales and marketing tactics shall comply with any contractual restrictions or requirements included in the Sales Agency Agreement between The DIRECTV Group, Inc., (formerly Xxxxxx Electronics Corporation) and DIRECTV (including the programming agreement requirements, as referenced therein, and including only such amendments as may occur from time to time to reflect changes in agreements between The DIRECTV Group, Inc. and the applicable programmers), as identified in writing by DIRECTV.

5. In the event of a termination or the anticipated expiration of the Agreement, during a transition period mutually agreed upon by the Parties, the Parties will work together in good faith to ensure a smooth transition of the customer accounts for Added Services back to DIRECTV for billing and customer care, and each Party agrees to take such actions as reasonably requested to minimize the level of customer inquiries and problems related to such transition. During such transition period, (i) Member shall continue to xxxx and collect for, and shall provide customer service with respect to, and act as a nonexclusive sales agent for the Added Services delivered to customers in Member Territories in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, and (ii) Member shall continue to earn the Revenue Share with respect to amounts billed during such transition period, provided, however, if the termination of the Agreement was initiated by Member, then the Revenue Share shall be reduced to 15% for all Added Services (regardless of penetration rates) during such transition period. With respect to amounts billed but not yet collected by the end of the transition period, Member shall continue to collect such amounts in good faith, following Member’s standard collection policies, forwarding the collected amounts (less the applicable Revenue Share) to NRTC as master servicer for DIRECTV. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the termination of the Agreement.

6. DIRECTV agrees that, during the term of the Agreement, DIRECTV shall not, directly or indirectly, xxxx for or activate the Added Services for customers in Member Territories, except as otherwise contemplated pursuant to the transition provisions set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Member acknowledges that DIRECTV may inadvertently xxxx for certain Added Services to customers in Member Territories. The Parties will work together to minimize such circumstances.

B. Element Two; Non-Select Sports Programming. Member shall continue to receive, with respect to sports league programming that qualifies as Non-Select Services (as defined in the DBS Distribution Agreement), a 10% revenue share.

C. Other Terms.

1. The Terms and Conditions set forth in this Schedule C (Part II) shall commence on the Closing Date and shall continue through the Service Term; provided that either Party shall be entitled to terminate the Terms and Conditions set forth in this Schedule C (Part II), upon 30 days written notice, in the event of a breach of a material obligation hereof by the other Party, which breach remains uncured at the expiration of such 30 day period.

Upon termination of the Agreement, all rights and obligations of the Parties set forth in the Terms and Conditions contained in this Schedule C (Part II) Agreement shall terminate, except as specifically provided in the Agreement. This Section C of these Terms and Conditions shall survive any termination of the Agreement.

C(Part II)-7

2. During the Term, and for a period of six months thereafter, DIRECTV may, upon reasonable advance notice of at least thirty (30) days to Member, audit books and records of Member relating to the invoices and reports under the Agreement as reasonably necessary to verify the payments made under this Schedule C (Part II), provided, however, that (a) such audit shall be at DIRECTV’s sole cost and expense, (b) DIRECTV may not audit more than once per year during the Term and once after the expiration of the Term (and no such audit shall continue for more than thirty (30) business days from the date DIRECTV has access to the applicable records) and (c) any such audit shall be conducted only during regular business hours and in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal business activities of Member.

3. In the event of any dispute regarding amounts owed by a Party hereunder, the paying Party shall continue to pay, at a minimum, all undisputed amounts in accordance with the timeframe described herein.

4. In no event shall the Agreement or these Terms and Conditions be interpreted to require DIRECTV to maintain rights to deliver any particular services (including any Added Services), or to distribute services from any particular orbital locations.

5. To the extent necessary, and to the extent they are not inconsistent with this Schedule C (Part II), Sections 2, 3(b), 3(c), 3(d), 4(b), 4(c), 4(d), 7, 8, 9(b), 12 through 18 and Section 20 of Schedule C (Part I) shall apply to the various rights and obligations set forth in this Schedule C (Part II).
