As used in this Agreement the word “Person” means any individual person, entity (including partnerships, corporations and limited liability companies), and government or political subdivision thereof (including agencies, bureaus, offices and departments thereof).

Accordingly, any transformations, modifications, enhancements, expansions or adaptations of NeuLion iPTV Platform developed by NeuLion in delivery of the Service provided for herein (“Derivative Works”), and any and all intellectual property rights therein contained (including but not limited to patents, trademarks, know how and business models) shall be owned by

NeuLion, and, in further consideration for the rights granted herein to the NHL, the NHL hereby assigns to NeuLion any and all rights, title and interest, including, without limitation, copyrights, trade secrets and proprietary rights, to the Derivative Works developed by NeuLion hereunder. The Derivative Works shall not be deemed to be “works made for hire” under the federal copyright laws. The NHL agrees to give NeuLion reasonable assistance to perfect such assignment of such rights, title and interest.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the NHL shall retain all rights, and NeuLion shall not have any ownership interest, in materials developed by the NHL in connection with the Service (if any), such as applications and/or code developed by the NHL that enable the NeuLion iPTV Platform to retrieve statistical information from the NHL’s real-time scoring system (“NHL Developments”). Moreover, to the extent NeuLion is involved in the creation or production of any Content hereunder, such Content shall be deemed a “work made for hire” under the federal copyright laws and shall be owned by the NHL. To this end, in further consideration for the amounts paid to NeuLion hereunder, NeuLion hereby assigns to the NHL any and all rights, title and interest, including, without limitation, copyrights, trade secrets and proprietary rights, in and to the NHL Developments and Content that would otherwise vest in NeuLion, and NeuLion agrees to give the NHL reasonable assistance to perfect such assignment of such rights, title and interest.

7. Infringement.

In the event of any third party claim against the NHL in respect of the NeuLion iPTV Platform, NeuLion, at its option, may (i) obtain the right to use the NeuLion iPTV Platform without obligation on the part of the NHL to the owner of the allegedly infringed intellectual property, (ii) modify the NeuLion iPTV Platform, without materially diminishing the functionality or performance, thereof, to become non-infringing at NeuLion’s sole expense or, after using its best efforts to achieve either of the foregoing options, (iii) discontinue the use of infringing NeuLion iPTV Platform components and provide the NHL with a pro rated refund of any fees pre-paid in connection with such components (the allocation of which shall be agreed by the Parties in good faith). In the event of any third party claim against NeuLion in respect of the Content, the NHL, at its option, may (i) obtain the right to use the Content without obligation on the part of NeuLion to the owner of the allegedly infringed intellectual property, or (ii) discontinue the use of infringing Content. If, pursuant to the foregoing, NeuLion elects to discontinue a material feature or component of the NeuLion iPTV Platform, the NHL shall have the right, upon 45 days notice, to terminate this Agreement without liability to NeuLion.

8. Limited Service Warranty. NeuLion warrants that the Service will operate according to the specifications set forth in the Exhibits hereto or otherwise agreed by the Parties. If it is determined that the Service does not operate according to such specifications, then except as required by applicable Law, NeuLion’s only responsibility will be to use its best efforts, consistent with industry standards, to cure the defect at its own expense. Moreover, NeuLion warrants that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the introduction of virus, lockup program, or other malicious or disabling code or device into the NeuLion iPTV Platform and the applications and content managed by NeuLion hereunder. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN, NO OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILTY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE MADE BY EITHER PARTY. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTYFOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHICH MAY ARISE HEREUNDER OR FROM THE USE OR OPERATION OF THE SERVICE.

9. Indemnification; Defense; Cooperation. (a) Each Party shall be responsible for and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses, arising out of or in connection with any acts, omissions or breaches of this Agreement by the indemnified Party, regardless of whether due to negligence, fault, or default, including Losses in connection with any threatened investigation, litigation or other proceeding or preparing a defense to or prosecuting the same; provided, however, that the indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for that portion, if any, of a Loss that is caused by the negligence, fault or default of the other Party.

(b) Each Party shall, upon the other Party’s demand, promptly and diligently defend, at the Party’s own risk and expense, any and all suits, actions, or proceedings which may be brought or instituted against one or more Indemnified Parties for which the Party is responsible under this Section, and, further to the Party’s indemnification obligations, the Party shall pay and satisfy any judgment, decree, loss or settlement in connection therewith.

(b) This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be in whole or part (i) amended, (ii) waived, or (iii) subcontracted, without the prior written consent of the Party against whom enforcement of such action is sought. Any purported modification without such prior written consent shall be null and void. The failure of a Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement, including the right to demand strict performance, shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

The obligations of this provision will survive for five (5) years after any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

13. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is entered solely by and between the Parties and shall not be deemed to create any rights in or obligations to any third parties.

14. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for failure to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement if that failure is caused, directly or indirectly, by flood, communications failure, extreme weather, fire, mud slide, earthquake, or other natural calamity or act of God, interruption in water, electricity, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, acts of governmental agencies, quarantines, embargoes, malicious acts of third parties, acts of terrorism, labor disputes affecting vendors or subcontractors and for which the Party claiming force majeure is not responsible, or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of that Party (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”).

15. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Governing Law. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or required by Law, exclusive original jurisdiction for all claims or actions with respect to this Agreement shall be in a State or Federal Court in Nassau County in New York State and the Parties expressly waive any objections to the same on any grounds, including venue and forum non conveniens. This Agreement is intended as a contract under, and shall be governed and construed in accordance with, the Laws of New York State, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

If any such provision is not inserted or referenced or is not inserted or referenced in correct form then (i) such provision shall be deemed inserted into or referenced by this Agreement for purposes of interpretation and (ii) upon the application of either Party this Agreement shall be formally amended to comply strictly with the Law, without prejudice to the rights of either Party.

(b) In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

agreed by the Parties (it being agreed that absent any such agreement, the specifications set forth in this Exhibit A and Exhibits A-1 through A-3 shall apply), conform in all material respects with:

1. The “NeuLion iPTV Service Proposal” and “NeuLion iPTV Web Solution Overview” presented by NeuLion to the NHL (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A-1), with the exception of the “Form Agreement Example” contained therein;

8. At any time, the NHL may elect to bring some of these activities in-house (e.g. the down-linking and encoding of game feeds), in which case NeuLion shall

work with the NHL to adjust Service delivery accordingly and to the extent such transition results in cost savings to NeuLion the Parties shall discuss in good faith an equitable sharing of such savings.

DELIVERABLES AND SPECIFICATIONS

· Video Player — NeuLion shall design, develop, implement and host a multimedia video player through which the Content will be streamed to the NHL’s end users (the “Video Player”). The Video Player shall be consistent in all material respects with the demonstrations given by NeuLion to the NHL at the NHL’s offices on June 8, 2007, and with any incremental features contained in any other demonstrations, documentation and other materials furnished by NeuLion to the NHL in connection therewith. In particular, and except to the extent modified by the ultimate specifications for the Deliverables as mutually agreed by the Parties, the Video Player shall:

1. Be able to pull on-demand Content from the NHL’s own content management system as well as from NeuLion’s own hosted systems;

2. Include chat room functionality that enables the end user to open a chat box next to the video window and select whether (a) to enter a chat room for end users watching the particular Content then being viewed by the end user or (b) to enter one of a pre-set list of other chat rooms (e.g. organized per NHL team and/or per topic);

3. Include a statistics feature that provides end users with NHL statistics organized by team and by player;

4. Include the ability to sort through the available Content by (a) NHL team, and (b) type of content (e.g. live, VOD, highlights, features, radio, stats);

5. Include links to NHL team and player information, previous team matchups, and other pertinent information and web pages as designated by the NHL;

6. Support multi-screen “mosaic” functionality, where the end user can watch multiple games at once through smaller video windows, select the game they wish to focus on, and enlarge that particular window up to maximum size;

7. Be able to detect the bandwidth capacity of end users and, for end users who cannot adequately support the maximum bit rate specified by the NHL, furnish them with Content encoded at a more suitable bit rate; and

8. Support integration with the NHL’s real-time scoring system*, including:

a. Real-time scores and game clock for all games in progress;

b. Real-time player/goalie stats (e.g. goals, assists, shots on goal, penalty minutes, goals against average, save percentage);

c. Other real-time game stats (e.g. shots on goal, faceoffs, powerplay opportunities/goals)

*The NHL acknowledges that its cooperation will be required in order to achieve full integration of the NeuLion iPTV Platform and Video Player with the NHL’s real-time scoring system. The Parties agree to work together in good faith to achieve such integration, but NeuLion shall not be in breach of this Agreement for integration failures caused by the NHL’s failure to furnish the necessary resources.

9. In addition, NeuLion shall work with the NHL to support whatever integration with Comcast’s streaming of NHL content becomes necessary pursuant to the NHL’s existing contractual obligations with Comcast; provided that to the extent such integration involves more than merely the ability to link to Comcast’s own video player or website (rather than using the Video Player’s own video window) when particular games are selected from the menu of Content on the Video Player, such integration shall be subject to technical feasibility and the Parties’ good faith agreement on appropriate consideration to NeuLion.

· Registration Interface and Subscriber Control — NeuLion shall design, develop, implement and host a registration interface to process subscriptions to subscription-based Content packages (e.g. the NHL Center Ice Online package) and assign unique user names and passwords (the “Registration Interface”). In particular, and except to the extent modified by the ultimate specifications for the Deliverables as mutually agreed by the Parties, the Registration Interface shall:

1. Support multi-lingual and multi-character-type text for the names of the data capture fields;

2. Pull the text of the XXX.xxx Terms of Services and Privacy Policy from the XXX.xxx website into the Registration Interface (e.g. through a scrollable text box);

3. Enable collection of opt-in and opt-out information specified by the NHL; and

4. Ensure that each subscriber has a unique user-name and support a password access system. NeuLion shall suspend a subscriber’s account at any time upon the reasonable request of the NHL.

· Payment Processing — NeuLion shall design, develop, implement and host a payment gateway for processing credit card transaction fees for any subscription-based Content packages offered via the NeuLion iPTV Platform and Video Player (the “Payment Gateway”), and shall be responsible for the credit card transaction processing of all such fees (and any associated taxes) and remitting all such amounts to the NHL. To this end, and without limitation, NeuLion shall:

1. Ensure that the Payment Gateway can charge subscribers in either US or Canadian currency based on the local of the subscriber (i.e. quoting and charging a fee in the local US or Canadian currency);

2. To the extent funds are not deposited directly into an NHL account, remit to the NHL any and all amounts collected by NeuLion within 30 days after the end of each month (along with reports detailing the basis for such payments);

3. Use reasonable commercial efforts to include indemnification obligations from any third party payment processors engaged by NeuLion for their wrongful acts and omissions in their processing of financial transactions hereunder (which obligations shall include indemnification of the NHL and its affiliates); and

4. Support the use of multiple price models (e.g. Full-Season and Day Pass), pricing that can be changed during the course of the season per time/date period (e.g. Full Season, Second Half Season, and Playoffs), and pricing that can be

configured on a country-by-country basis (e.g. setting different pricing for US, Canada, UK, Japan, etc.), in each case as specified by the NHL.

· Geo-Filtering and Content Blackout — NeuLion shall block Content pursuant to blackout policies provided by the NHL. Such blocking will be based on the geographic location of the NHL customer’s IP address at the time the customer seeks to access the Content, regardless of where the customer is a resident or from where the customer subscribed to the services. For each NHL team, the NHL will specify the team’s local telecast territory, and NeuLion will blackout all of that team’s games (home and away) with respect to end users identified by NeuLion as being located in that team’s local telecast territory. In addition, for games being televised outside of a team’s local telecast territory, NeuLion shall blackout such games for all end users located in the countries or territories where such games are being televised, as specified by the NHL. To this end, and except to the extent modified by the ultimate specifications for the Deliverables as mutually agreed by the Parties, NeuLion shall:

1. Use its reasonable commercial efforts to (i) ensure that it accurately associates the IP address of each end user to the geography of each end user (including, without limitation, through the use of regularly updated IP/ZIP databases, consistent with the highest industry standards) and (ii) minimize the number of misidentifications (i.e. instances where NeuLion identifies a user as being in one region when in fact they are in another region);

2. Notify the NHL upon becoming aware of IP addresses and/or end users that are being misidentified and comply with the NHL’s determination as to what blackout rules should apply in such cases;

3. Work in good faith with the NHL to continuously improve the rate of accurate identifications over the course of the Term of the Agreement;

4. Use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and block attempts by end users to circumvent the NHL’s blackout rules through the use of proxy servers;

5. Include an NHL-supplied message to consumers seeking to access a blocked NHL game; and

6. Allow the NHL to submit custom blackout schedule lists in order to change their blackout designations of any game. Among other things, this functionality would enable the NHL to black out games that are televised nationally (or beyond the local telecast territory of the teams involved) in all areas where such telecasts are available. Blackout changes will be subject to database replication times. 48 business hours advance notice required.

MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT

· Support — NeuLion shall provide Level 2 support in connection with the Content packages managed by NeuLion hereunder. NeuLion shall provide Level 2 support to the NHL’s personnel during the NHL’s regular business hours and, for emergency issues, on a 24/7 basis (phone or pager service). Xxxxx 0 support shall be provided in accordance with the Service Levels set forth in Exhibit C. NeuLion shall assign a single point of contact to the NHL for all issues arising in connection with the Service and the NeuLion

iPTV Platform. NeuLion shall also provide the NHL with contact information for NeuLion’s network operations center.

· Security — NeuLion shall implement at all times during the Term industry-standard fraud protection, and computer and data security measures.

NeuLion iPTV Web Solutions Overview

NeuLion iPTV Web Solution Overview

NeuLion is a full end to end enterprise level iPTV service provider. We build and manage private broadcasting networks for companies interested in reaching a specific target audience. Since we use the public internet, customers can reach the broadcast service from anywhere in the world – on the TV, through the Web to a computer, or other consumer devices. This is an overview of the NeuLion iPTV Web Solution Features, Functions and Benefits.

TV CONSOLE SERVICES PROVIDED

Design and personalization of Company branded web browser interface (the NeuLion iPTV TV Console) based on NeuLion provided design templates include the following TV Console features:

1. Video viewable as broadcast channels, auto-playing spotlights or video-on-demand (VOD)

NeuLion’s iPTV TV Console delivers a rich video experience. The console has a large main video viewing window that plays the current program and the user can browse the site while video is playing. Based on user’s available bandwidth, the system will automatically deliver the best video quality available.

Each channel has a program schedule and the server plays the content based on a predefined daily schedule. This creates a true TV-like experience. Only NeuLion’s iPTV solution can deliver the same experience on TV through the STB and on through an internet browser. The electronic programming guide tells the user what is playing and when their favorite program is scheduled.

The system can support a large number of linear channels because with internet television there is no limit on the number of channels you may have.

By default, the spotlights and channels begin playing as soon as the user logs on. This “always on” feature gives the under instant gratification, without waiting for content to play.

In addition, the linear channels have on-demand support and gives the combined “broadcast television/personal video recorder” experience all in one. The on-demand video can be grouped into various categories or genre of interest. Users can easily find the content they want to watch.
