(aa) “Minimum Requirements” with respect to a motion picture means that such motion picture has:

(i) P&A Expenses equal to or in excess of $250,000 and a theatrical release on no less than 20 screens at its widest point of theatrical release in the Territory; or

(q) (dd) “New Media” shall mean any means of delivery (including delivery over mobile/cellular networks) other than cable, satellite, IPTV or the Internet.

(r) (ee) “New Closed System Delivery” shall mean all forms of delivery of video programming to subscribers over a closed system or other form of private network (and not over the publicly available Internet) employing any secure protocol, other than Internet protocol, and which are sourced by the same network operator that owns or directly controls the "last mile" to the consumer's premises.

provider that offers multichannel video programming services (such provider as applicable, a “Multichannel Video Programming Distributor” or “MVPD”) that provides such subscribers access to the STE Service via the Internet as a value-added service (i.e., for no additional consideration) in connection with their subscription to the corresponding STE Service delivered by means of cable, satellite or IPTV (i.e., so-called “TV Everywhere”). For clarity (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing), so-called over-the-top (“OTT”) services such as Netflix (as it exists on the Effective Date) shall be deemed Open Internet Services for purposes hereof.

(u) (hh) “Open Internet Subscriber” shall mean each consumer that subscribes to an Open Internet Service.

(v) (ii) “OTT Video Package” shall mean a subscription package of video programming made available via the Internet by an OTT provider.

(w) (kk) “Pay-Per-View” or “PPV” shall mean the transmission of a single motion picture transmitted by means of Television, on a linear pre-scheduled basis where the start time is scheduled by the distributor and not by the consumer and for which a transactional charge (in cash or in kind) is made to the consumer for the privilege of viewing the particular motion picture, alone or together with any goods or services that may be bundled therewith, on a per-exhibition basis. PPV may be offered on a multiple channel basis with varying scheduling patterns and may offer multiple exhibitions of a single motion picture over a period of time not to exceed 72 hours, but not on a Negative Option Basis.

For this purpose, PPV does not include operating on a subscription basis and, therefore, shall not include any service for which a consumer is charged a “club” or other similar “access” fee (which shall not, for the purposes of this definition, be deemed to include any basic cable, digital/data plan or Internet access fee) solely for the privilege of being able to view motion pictures via PPV, unless such “club” or similar access fee is a nominal sum (i.e., an annual fee not to exceed $10) that is non-creditable against any per exhibition consumer transaction fees and in all events is a charge that is more than merely a fee to gain access to the PPV motion pictures alone. However, PPV may include a service where a consumer is required to pay an equipment rental fee or to purchase equipment in order to obtain such service, provided, that no part of such equipment rental fee or purchase price, as applicable, is credited or paid directly or indirectly to Licensor, and provided further that Licensor, when acting as a retailer and not a wholesaler, may receive an equipment rental fee or purchase price, as applicable, and such equipment rental fee or purchase price shall not count as a “club” or similar access fee, if a majority of Major Production/Distribution Studios, when acting as a retailer and not a wholesaler, are also receiving an equipment rental fee or purchase price. For purposes of clarification, Licensor shall not be deemed to

have “indirectly” received an equipment rental fee or purchase price if such equipment rental fee or purchase price is received by a Licensor Affiliate that is not an SPE Group Member, including without limitation Sony Corporation of America and Sony Electronics. PPV shall not include transmissions on a Sell-Through Electronic Video basis or exhibitions via Digital Cinema. Home Theater will be considered a form of PPV (or VOD) if (but only if) exploited in a manner inconsistent with the pricing and timing restrictions thereon contained in this Amended & Restated Amendment. For purposes of clarification, (i) the 72 hour period shall commence at the time the motion picture is exhibited for more than five continuous minutes and (ii) if the recipient is able to make a copy of the applicable PPV transmission of the motion picture and does so by taking independent action in addition to ordering the applicable PPV transmission, the fact that such recipient may be able to view such copy beyond the expiration of the aforesaid 72 hour period shall not cause such mode of exhibition to fall outside this definition of “PPV.”

(x) (ll) “Pay Television” shall mean transmissions or exhibitions by any form of Television (including, without limitation, the right to authorize transmission by third parties, including, without limitation, MVPDs, Internet connectivity providers and Open Internet Service providers) to a subscriber of a Programming Service upon payment by such subscriber of a periodic subscription fee charged on a not less than monthly subscription basis except as set forth in Section 16(c), Section 16(d) and Section 2(a)(iii). All such Pay Television channels or services shall be (i) encrypted at all times (except as set forth in Section 16(c)), (ii) on a commercial-free, non-advertiser supported basis, and (iii) offered to such subscriber for an additional charge (for a single channel or service or group of channels or services) over and above the charge to such subscriber for the obligatory basic tier of programming or access. For purposes of clarification, “home-shopping” segments and “infomercials” (as such terms are commonly understood as of the Effective Date) shall each be considered advertiser-supported activities, but (A) billboards and signboards within a given program (which may include the name and/or logo of a third-party commercial entity and/or product), provided, that ads in such billboards and signboards are not served via dynamic insertion, and (B) product placements that are contained in any program (e.g., clothing worn by sports figures) shall not be considered advertiser-supported activities.

(y) (mm) “Physical Medium” means a tangible recording or storage medium now known or hereafter devised, including videotape, video disks, video cassette, laser video disc, standard, HD and Blu-ray DVD, hard drive, portable media devices, flash drives, memory sticks, floppy disks, zip drives and portable storage devices.

(z) (nn) “Programming Service” shall mean a linear, streamed, regularly scheduled Television programming service predominately delivered via broadcast, cable or satellite transmission.

(aa) (oo) “Promotion” shall mean, with respect to an STE Service, a promotion that meets all of the following qualifications: (i) a promotion that is, and is clearly communicated as being, targeted at non-current customers and upgrades wherein the current customers do not have such STE Service prior to the upgrade, (ii) a promotion that is, and is clearly communicated as being, available for a limited time only, the end date of which shall be clearly communicated and (iii) the full price that such STE Service shall be reset to after the promotion is over is clearly communicated.

(pp) “Qualifying Films” means all Feature-Length motion pictures (other than Live Event Programs, subject only to Section 4(e)

(iii) below), rated “R” or less restrictive that have their Initial Theatrical Release during the

Term; provided, that, other than any Home Theater exhibitions, no general public commercial exhibition of such motion pictures has occurred in the Territory prior to such motion pictures’ respective Initial Theatrical Releases. For the purposes of determining whether a motion picture is eligible to be a Qualifying Film hereunder, if the MPAA’s (of any successor entity’s) rating system is generally abandoned and no equivalent rating system exists which is generally accepted by STE and the Major Production/Distribution Studios, then Licensor and STE shall negotiate a reasonable means of determining the eligibility of motion pictures with respect to the content thereof, based on criteria similar to the MPAA system existing as of the Effective Date.

(bb) (qq) “Sell-Through Electronic Video” means the electronic transmission of a digital file embodying a motion picture for which a per-transaction charge (in cash or in kind) is made to the consumer for the purchase or rental of such digital file, alone or together with any goods or services that may be bundled therewith, and that is authorized for retention by the recipient by means of a Storage Device for a period of more than 72 hours commencing at the time the motion picture is exhibited for more than five continuous minutes (and not at the time the file is received by the recipient), and which shall be deemed to be included within the definition of Home Video for the purposes hereof. For clarity, (i) special limited promotional offers (including give-away coupons, free buys and the like) shall nevertheless constitute Sell-Through Electronic Video; and (ii) the provider making such promotional offer may not make such offer available to any individual consumer for more than sixty (60) days per Year. The parties acknowledge that Sell-Through Electronic Video may be used by consumers for the purpose of “library-building,” in that a consumer may permanently store a motion picture received by means of Sell-Through Electronic Video on Storage Devices. For the avoidance of doubt, Sell-Through Electronic Video shall not include operating on a subscription basis for which a periodic fee is charged, it being agreed that two-for-one discounts, bundled or installment sales shall not constitute operating on a subscription basis.

(rr) “Sony Rent-A-System Film” means a Qualifying Film so designated by Licensor that is Theatrically Released By an SPE Group

Member, satisfies at least one of the Minimum Requirements, and that does not satisfy any of the Additional Elements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all Sony-Rent-A-System Films shall be deemed to be “B” Films hereunder (notwithstanding the failure of any such films to satisfy an Additional Element). By way of clarity, the foregoing definition shall only apply (if at all) with respect to 2013 Releases.

(ss) “SPC Film” means any Qualifying Film that is so designated by Licensor, satisfies at least one Additional Element

and at least one of the Minimum Requirements, and is Theatrically Released By an SPE Group Member under the label of Sony Pictures Classics (or any successor to the theatrical distribution operations thereof) or similar “art house” theatrical releasing labels of any SPE Group Member.

(cc) (tt) “SPE Group Member” means LicensorSony Pictures Entertainment Inc. (“SPE”) and any entity for which LicensorSPE . , either

directly or through an unbroken chain of Controlled Entities:

(i) owns at least 50% of the capital stock or similar equity interests of such entity;

kind) is made to the consumer for the privilege of viewing the particular motion picture, alone or together with any goods or services that may be bundled therewith, on a per-exhibition basis, but not on a Negative Option Basis. For clarity, (i) special limited promotional offers (including give-away coupons, free buys, extended viewing opportunities and the like) shall nevertheless constitute VOD; and (ii) the provider making such offer may not make such offer available to any individual consumer for more than 60 days per Year. For this purpose, VOD does not include operating on a subscription basis and, therefore, shall not include any service for which a consumer is charged a “club” or other similar “access” fee (which shall not, for the purposes of this definition, be deemed to include any basic cable, digital/data plan or Internet access fee) solely for the privilege of being able to view motion pictures via VOD, unless such “club” or similar access fee is a nominal sum ( i.e., an annual fee not to exceed $10) that is non-creditable against any per exhibition consumer transaction fees and in all events is a charge that is more than merely a fee to gain access to VOD motion pictures alone. However, VOD may include a service where a consumer is required to pay an equipment rental fee or to purchase equipment in order to obtain such service, provided, that no part of such equipment rental fee or purchase price, as applicable, is credited or paid directly or indirectly to Licensor, and provided further that Licensor, when acting as a retailer and not a wholesaler, may receive an equipment rental fee or purchase price, as applicable, and such equipment rental fee or purchase price shall not count as a “club” or similar access fee, if a majority of Major Production/Distribution Studios, when acting as a retailer and not a wholesaler, are also receiving an equipment rental fee or purchase price. For purposes of clarification, Licensor shall not be deemed to have “indirectly” received an equipment rental fee if such equipment rental fee or purchase price is received by a Licensor Affiliate that is not an SPE Group Member, including without limitation Sony Corporation of America and Sony Electronics. VOD shall not include transmissions on a Sell-Through Electronic Video basis. Home Theater will be considered a form of VOD (or PPV) if (but only if) exploited in a manner inconsistent with the pricing and timing restrictions thereon contained in this Amended & Restated Amendment. For purposes of clarification, (i) the 72 hour period shall commence at the time the motion picture is exhibited for more than five continuous minutes (and not at the time the motion picture is received by the recipient) and (ii) if the recipient is able to make a copy of the applicable VOD transmission of the motion picture and does so by taking independent action in addition to ordering the applicable VOD transmission, the fact that such recipient may be able to view such copy beyond the expiration of the aforesaid 72 hour period shall not cause such mode of exhibition to fall outside this definition of “VOD”.

2. License . Licensor hereby licenses the Licensed Pictures to STE exclusively (as and to the extent herein provided), under copyright, for exhibition on the STE Services in the Territory during thetheir respective License Periods on the terms and conditions contained herein. STE agrees to pay Licensor the License Fee specified in Section 6 herein for each Licensed Picture, whether or not such Licensed Picture is exhibited, along with the other payments described in Section 6. As of the Effective Date, the rights and the limitations on STE’s promotion and exhibition of Pictures in Section 2 of (and elsewhere in) this Amended & Restated Amendment and on Licensor’s exercise of its Reserved Rights (including all applicable holdbacks) in Section 3 of (and elsewhere in) of this Amended & Restated Amendment shall apply to the 2009 License Agreement Pictures (in lieu of, and not in addition to) the corresponding rights and the limitations set forth in the 2009 License Agreement; provided, that: (x) the foregoing shall not be applied so as to increase the duration of any License Period that commenced prior to the Effective Date nor to add another First License Period or Second License Period (as and if applicable) to any 2009 License Agreement Pictures whose First License Period and/or Second License Period (as applicable) has expired as of the Effective Date; and (y) to the extent that any 2009 License Agreement Picture is in its First License Period at any time during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending May 31, 2013 (the “Pre-Effective Date Exhibition Day Pictures”), STE’s exhibition rights during such License Period shall continue to be defined, measured and limited in terms of Exhibition Days throughout such First License Period, rather than in terms of Exhibitions.

(a) Rights and Limitations .

(i) STE shall have the right to deliver the STE Services by any means by which Pay Television can be delivered, for private use in non-public venues and to a consumer’s personal portable device or, with respect to an STE SOD Service only, any Storage Device within the Territory, subject to each of the provisions of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement, including without limitation subsection (iv) below and Sections 14 and 1516 hereof. STE’s right to deliver Licensed Pictures over the Internet or New Media shall be conditioned upon STE using security provisions that are equally or more effective and equally or more robust as those used by any of Licensor, HBO, Showtime or any other permitted premium Pay Television service delivering Licensed Pictures or comparable (in terms of age, color/black & white and licensor/producer) theatrical motion pictures over the Internet (including, without limitation, copy protection technology as required pursuant to Section 16) in the Territory; provided, however, that STE shall be required to comply, at a minimum, with the other provisions set forth in Section 16 at all times until the expiration of the last License Period to expire hereunder.

(ii) Additionally, STE shall be authorized by Licensor to exhibit or license the exhibition of the Licensed Pictures only as part of the STE Services on any and all systems available hereunder to STE or utilized by other Pay Television services in the Territory which service temporary or other transient living accommodations including hotels and motels, military bases, prisons, ships, dormitories and the like, Ronald McDonald Houses, oil rigs, and hospitals, provided, that this license does not authorize exhibition in common or public areas.

(iii) In addition to sales on a not less than monthly subscription basis, STE shall be authorized to sell and to allow affiliated delivery systems to sell the STE Services (including STE SOD Services) on a pay-per-stay basis for exhibition in rooms in hotels, motels, resorts, time-shares and other temporary lodging facilities only (each such room is referred to as a “Pay-Per-Stay Room”), as follows: the subscriber shall have the right to purchase only the STE Services, in the same form and on the same

Amended and Restated Amendment to Pay Television License Agreement (EXECUTION VERSION Feb-8-2013)

Page 23: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

schedule as their distribution to not less than monthly subscribers, for not less than twenty four hours of continuous service, for a fee separate and apart from fees or charges the consumer pays for other programming, products or services; provided, that STE may not sell or allow affiliated delivery systems to sell Un-Tethered STE SOD Services on the basis described in this Section 2(a)(iii).

(iv) In the event that any STE Pay Television Service is offered on an a la carte, packaged or bundled basis, such STE Service must be made available solely in connection with a mandatory “buy-through” of aat least one (1) bona fide tier of Programming Services including a substantial number of Programming Services available on basic cable as of the Effective Date (including twenty-four (24) hour news channels, broadcast channels, retransmitted local stations and ad-supported cable networks). In addition, any package that includes any STE Pay Television Service that features Pictures in their First License Period must be above at least two (2) such bona fide tiers of Programming Services, it being understood that the second such tier need not be a basic tier consisting of the types of Programming Services listed above, but may be a Pay Television tier or expanded basic tier (i.e., premium tiers) and any package that includes any linear STE Service that features Pictures in their Second License Period must be above at least one (1) such bona fide tier of Programming Services. For clarity, as used herein, “package” shall refer to a tier or collection of Programming Services that are not also each available on an a la carte basis and “bundle” shall refer to a collection of services that are also each available on an a la carte basis.

(v) The rights granted herein do not include the right of STE or its affiliates to sub-distribute, sublicense, or “white label” (i.e., provide to a third party platform that brands such services as their own; e.g., the Yahoo Store), or “power” (e.g., “Yahoo! Video Store powered by Starz” is not permitted, but “Starz Play powered by Verizon” is permitted) the Licensed Pictures without Licensor’s prior written approval. For clarity, subject to the other requirements and provisions of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement, STE may allow a licensee such as Netflix to offer its service on a platform (e.g. Xbox Live), but STE may not allow its licensee to subdistribute. For example, subject to the other requirements and provisions of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement, Netflix is permitted to offer the Netflix service (including Starz Play) on Xbox if the only Xbox users who have access to such service are the ones that have a Netflix subscription that qualifies them to obtain Starz Play. Netflix would not be permitted to offer Starz Play to Xbox users who can access it using only their Xbox account/credentials. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein limits STE’s ability to have a direct relationship with the third party with whom STE’s pre-existing licensee may also have a relationship; for example, STE may have its own relationship with Xbox, in addition to any relationship Netflix may have with Xbox contemporaneously. Additionally, the parties agree that engaging in a relationship with a trade organization (such as, NCTC, NRTC) to license the STE Services to members of such trade organizations shall not be considered sub-distribution hereunder, and is expressly permitted. For the avoidance of doubt, a consumer who receives an STE Service from a member of any such trade organization shall count as a subscriber to such STE Service for all purposes hereunder.

(vi) With respect to any Un-Tethered STE SOD Service, STE may only include the Licensed Pictures on such Service (as and when otherwise permitted under this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement) if such Service also includes

substantially all of STE’s original programming and substantially all programming then under license to STE pursuant to any and all of STE’s “Output Agreements” (as defined in Section 2(b)(v) below) with Major Production/Distribution Studios (unless Licensor shall otherwise waive such requirement regarding Major Production/Distribution Studio Output Agreement programming in writing following STE’s written request for such a waiver).

(b) Exclusivity and Holdbacks . Prior to and during the First License Period, and during the Second License Period of any Picture,

Licensor shall not license or authorize any Television exhibition (other than on the STE Services) of such Picture or the promotion of any Television exhibition (other than promotion of exhibition on the STE Services) of such Picture to any party in the Territory; provided, however, that (x) pre-promotion of an immediately following non-Pay Television exhibition may be allowed during the final 30 days of the Second License Period; and (y) pre-promotion of an immediately following free Television (e.g., broadcast or basic cable) exhibition may be allowed during the final 30 days of the First License Period for any Picture having an eighteen (18) month First License Period. In addition to the foregoing, Licensor shall not license any Picture to, or authorize the promotion of (1) the exhibition of any Picture by, any Pay Television service exhibited in the Territory (other than STE) or (2) electronic transmission (other than In-Store Digital Download) or exhibition of an intangible format embodying a Picture on a subscription, commercial free basis until after the Second License Period, except as set forth below. Licensor shall not license or authorize the distribution of any Picture via In-Store Digital Download on a subscription basis prior to the end of the First License Period for such Picture.

(i) Notwithstanding Section 2(b) above, (A) Licensor may exhibit (and authorize the exhibition of) each Picture by PPV and VOD, and promote (and authorize the promotion of) such exhibition, in the Territory at any time other than during such Picture’s License Periods, (B) Licensor may exhibit (and authorize the exhibition of) each Picture by PPV and VOD via Internet and New Media (and only via Internet and New Media), and promote (and authorize the promotion of) such exhibition, in the Territory during the entirety of such Picture’s License Periods, and (C) Licensor may in addition exhibit (and authorize the exhibition of) each Picture by PPV and VOD via any means, and promote (and authorize the promotion of) such exhibition, in the Territory during the last three months of the First License Period and during the entirety of the Second License Period of each Picture. However, Licensor will not exploit the Internet rights or New Media rights with respect to a Picture referred to in the foregoing clause (B) through HBO, Showtime or EPIX (and their related web-sites) or any of their respective affiliates, subsidiaries or successors and assigns if the applicable PPV/VOD service is branded with a name that includes the “HBO”, “Showtime”, “Cinemax”, “The Movie Channel”, and/or “EPIX” name(s). Moreover, Licensor shall not be permitted to exploit such Internet rights or New Media rights with respect to a Picture through a web-site owned, operated, managed or controlled by HBO, Showtime or EPIX regardless of the name of such web-site. For purposes of clarification, the parties acknowledge that during the First License Period with respect to a Picture, provided that Licensor’s PPV and VOD exhibitions are available on the Internet, the fact that consumers can access such Internet exhibitions through New Media shall not cause such exhibitions to be in violation of Licensor’s Internet rights set forth in this Section. Further, for purposes of clarification, subject to the immediately following sentence, the parties acknowledge that if a PPV or VOD exhibition of a Picture is purchased by a customer for initial delivery to such customer via the Internet or New Media delivery means, the fact that such customer

Page 25: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

can subsequently access such exhibition and cause it to be redelivered via any means of delivery (e.g., PPV or VOD exhibition is delivered initially via Internet and stored in a “virtual locker”/“sky locker” and subsequently redelivered via Internet to a Storage Device) during the License Periods shall not cause such exhibitions to be in violation of Licensor’s rights set forth in subclauses (B) and (C) of this Section 2(b)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor shall not enter into a commercial agreement with any cable, satellite or telephone company that carries an STE Service pursuant to which such STE affiliate shall have the right to redeliver a Picture initially delivered to a customer via the Internet or New Media delivery means for PPV or VOD exhibition from a “virtual locker”/“sky locker” or remote DVR to a set top box or other comparable in-home unit that a consumer may use to access the services of such cable, satellite or telephone company’s video services, including without limitation a cable or satellite enabled television, DVR, etc. (“Affiliate Technology”) during the period commencing on the first day of such Picture’s First License Period and ending three months before the expiration of such First License Period; provided, however, Licensor may enter into a commercial agreement with such STE affiliates to permit sales of Pictures via PPV and VOD from such company’s web site delivered initially via the Internet and stored in a “virtual locker”/“sky locker” or remote DVR, and is subsequently redelivered to the consumer via any other means of delivery other than Affiliate Technology, as set forth above.During the License Period of each Library Feature, Licensor shall not license or authorize the Television exhibition (other than on the STE Services) of such Library Feature or the promotion of any Television exhibition (other than promotion of exhibition on the STE Services) of such Library Feature to any party in the Territory; provided, however, that Licensor shall have the right to: (A) exhibit (and authorize the exhibition of) any of the Library Features by PPV and VOD, and promote (and authorize the promotion of) such exhibition at any time; and (B) pre-promote (or authorize the pre-promotion of) any immediately following Television exhibition during the final 30 days of such Library Feature’s License Period.

(ii) Licensor remains free at all times to unilaterally determine and set the license fee that Licensor receives for the Internet and New Media PPV and VOD rights. Licensor and STE, however, acknowledge the unusual nature of allowing Licensor to retain these rights during STE’s First License Period and Second License Period and the potential economic effects of that retention. As such, Licensor and STE agree that Licensor’s Internet and New Media PPV and VOD rights to the Pictures during the First License Period, and Licensor’s PPV and VOD rights by any means during the last three months of the First License Period and the entirety of the Second License Period for each Picture, will be subject to Licensor receiving the following amounts per consumer transaction set forth below, subject further to subsection 2(b)(iii) below:

(A) during the first 9 months of the First License Period (the first 8 months with respect to the 2013 Releases and 2009 License Agreement Pictures that have a 16 month First License Period), if Licensor is the wholesaler, not less than 75% of the weighted average wholesale price per consumer transaction which it received from third party distributor(s) for comparable (in terms of time from initial theatrical release) motion pictures during the PPV/VOD window immediately preceding STE’s First License Period, but excluding any VOD window applicable solely to VOD exhibitions that occur as part of a Home Theater exhibition (“First PPV/VOD Window”) and, if Licensor is the retailer, the lower of 75% of the weighted average retail price per consumer transaction for comparable (in terms

of time from initial theatrical release) motion pictures during the First PPV/VOD Window and $1.99;

(B) during the second 9 months of the First License Period (the second 8 months with respect to 2013 Releases and 2009 License Agreement Pictures that have a 16 month First License Period), if Licensor is the wholesaler, not less than the lower of 40% of the weighted average wholesale price per consumer transaction which it received from third party distributor(s) for comparable (in terms of time from initial theatrical release) motion pictures during the First PPV/VOD Window and $0.99, and, if Licensor is the retailer, not less than the lower of 40% of the weighted average retail price per consumer transaction for comparable (in terms of time from initial theatrical release) motion pictures during the First PPV/VOD Window and $1.99 per consumer transaction; and

(C) during the Second License Period, if Licensor is the wholesaler, not less than the lower of 40% of the weighted average wholesale price per consumer transaction which it received from third party distributor(s) for comparable (in terms of time from initial theatrical release) motion pictures during the next PPV/VOD window after the First PPV/VOD Window (“Second PPV/VOD Window”) and $0.49, if Licensor is the retailer, not less than the lower of 40% of the weighted average retail price per consumer transaction for comparable (in terms of time from initial theatrical release) motion pictures during the Second PPV/VOD Window and $0.99 per consumer transaction.

Licensor shall have the burden of proof as to what the weighted average retail price or wholesale price, as applicable, is in the respective windows. For purposes of determining the weighted average wholesale or retail prices, Home Theater exhibitions, exhibitions on a special limited promotional offer basis (including give-away coupons, free buys, extended viewing opportunities and the like), permitted club or access fees and permitted equipment rental fees or purchase price shall be excluded.

The parties acknowledge that the initial weighted average retail prices for the windows set forth in (A), (B) and (C) above are $3.50, $3.08 and $1.33, as of the Effective Date . If, at any time during any License Period hereunder, 75% or 40%, as applicable, of the actual weighted average retail price for PPV or VOD transactions in the Territory for the windows set forth in (A), (B) and (C) above differs by more than 20% from 75% or 40%, as applicable, of the $3.50, $3.08 and $1.33 initial retail prices specified in the immediately preceding sentence, Licensor and STE shall each have the right to request binding arbitration for the purpose of resetting the weighted average retail price or the minimum per consumer transaction fees set forth in (A), (B) or (C) above to reflect such change in market conditions. In the context of any such arbitration involving transactions where Licensor is acting as the wholesaler, the sole function of the arbitrator shall be to verify the actual weighted average wholesale price for PPV or VOD transactions in the windows set forth in (A), (B) and/or (C). The first time, if ever, that 75% or 40%, as applicable, of the actual weighted average retail prices determined by the arbitrator (the “Arbitrator Determined Weighted Average Retail Price(s)”) differs by more than 20% from 75% or 40%, as applicable, of the $3.50, $3.08 and $1.33 retail prices specified above, the $1.99, $1.99 and $0.99 minimum retail figures set forth in (A), (B) and (C) above shall be reset to $1.99 x (Arbitrator Determined Weighted Average Retail Price for the window set forth in (A) divided by $3.50), $1.99 x (Arbitrator Determined Weighted Average Retail Price for the window

set forth in (B) divided by $3.08), and $0.99 x (Arbitrator Determined Weighted Average Retail Price for the window set forth in (C) divided by $1.33)(as applicable, the “Re-Set Minimum Retail Figures”). Thereafter, such Arbitrator Determined Weighted Average Retail Price(s) shall be substituted for the $3.50, $3.08 and $1.33 weighted average retail figures set forth above and any further “re-set” of the Re-Set Minimum Retail Figures (and the right to request binding arbitration for purposes of any such “re-set”) shall be triggered only if 75% or 40%, as applicable, of the actual weighted average retail price for PPV or VOD transactions in the windows set forth in (A), (B) and/or (C) differs by more than 20% from 75% or 40%, as applicable, of the Arbitrator Determined Weighted Average Retail Price(s) (in which case a re-set similar to that set forth above shall be implemented). Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with Section 22(b).

(iii) Notwithstanding subsection 2(b)(ii) above, Licensor may receive an average per transaction amount with respect to any PPV or VOD transaction of a Picture during its First or Second License Period which is less than the amounts set forth in subsections 2(b)(ii)(A), 2(b)(ii)(B) or 2(b)(ii)(C) above, as applicable, upon payment to STE of an amount equal to the number of consumer transactions at such lower price multiplied by 75% of the difference between the relevant amount as determined pursuant to subsections (b)(ii)(A), (b)(ii)(B) or (b)(ii)(C) above and the actual amount received by Licensor per such lower-priced consumer transaction.

(iv) Without limiting the generality of Licensor’s right to exhibit (and right to authorize the exhibition of) Pictures at any time on a Sell-Through Electronic Video basis, Licensor’s Internet Sell-Through Electronic Video rights to the Pictures during each of STE’s Pay Television License Periods will, given the unusual nature of retaining this right, also be subject to Licensor receiving not less than (a) during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2016, $5.95 for Sell-Through Electronic Video transactions that occur during the First License Period and $2.49 during the Second License Period, as applicable, and (b) commencing on January 1, 2017, $4.95 for Sell-Through Electronic Video transactions that occur during the First License Period and $1.98 during the Second License Period, as applicable, each per retail or wholesale Sell-Through Electronic Video consumer transaction, provided, that Licensor may receive less than $5.95 (or $4.95, as applicable) during the First License Period and $2.49 (or $1.98, as applicable) during the Second License Period, as applicable, per retail Sell-Through Electronic Video consumer transaction upon payment to STE of an amount equal to the number of consumer transactions at such lower price multiplied by 75% of the difference between $5.95 (or $4.95, as applicable) and $2.49 (or $1.98, as applicable), as applicable, and the actual amount received by Licensor per such lower-priced consumer transaction. For purposes of clarification, a Sell-Through Electronic Video consumer transaction (whether wholesale or retail) may result in the delivery of multiple Pictures (on a non-subscription basis), provided, that Licensor must receive not less than $5.95 (or $4.95, as applicable) or $2.49 (or $1.98, as applicable), as applicable, multiplied by the number of Pictures included in such transaction. Notwithstanding the above, Licensor shall at all times remain free to unilaterally determine and set its license fee(s) for Sell-Through Electronic Video rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this subsection 2(b)(iv) (including, without limitation, the obligation to make any payments to STE if Licensor receives amounts below the stated amounts for Sell-Through Electronic Video transactions), shall not apply to Sell-Through Electronic Video entitlements that are bundled with consumer electronics devices (e.g., telephones, televisions, DVD or Blu-ray players, or gaming consoles, and the like) or

high-value consumer goods or services, (as distinguished from low-value goods such as newspapers, magazines, or consumable products such as beer or soda or the like).

(v) PPV and VOD MFN for Licensor.

(A) If, subsequent to the Effective Date and prior to the end of the Term, STE enters into or amends any Output Agreement (as defined below) under which agreement or amendment the licensor thereunder is permitted to exploit motion pictures licensed thereunder during STE’s Pay Television “windows” by way of PPV or VOD, and such Output Agreement contains terms more favorable to the licensor thereunder with respect to delivery of motion pictures by such licensor by means of PPV or VOD than the terms contained in Sections 2(b)(i), 2(b)(ii) or 2(b)(iii), as applicable, are to Licensor, or such Output Agreement contains terms more favorable to the licensor thereunder with respect to limitations on “club” or similar access fees for PPV or VOD than the terms hereof are to Licensor, then STE shall so notify Licensor of the terms of such Output Agreement related to such rights within 60 days of the execution of such Output Agreement or amendment thereof Licensor shall then have the right, exercisable by written notice within five (5) business days after receipt of such notification (or within 5 days within completion of an audit, if applicable), to inform STE that this Amended & Restated Amendment is modified to incorporate all, but not less than all, of such PPV or VOD -related terms, as applicable, effective on the date which is the effective Pay Television availability date of the first motion picture under such Output Agreement or the effective date of such amendment, as the case may be.

(B) An “Output Agreement” shall mean an agreement pursuant to which a Major Production/Distribution Studio licenses motion pictures to STE for Pay Television exhibition that (i) is applicable or, after giving effect to any post-Effective Date amendment contemplated by Section 2(b)(v)(A) above, becomes applicable (or that, in either case, upon the exercise of one or more options may be applicable) to substantially all motion pictures which have an Initial Theatrical Release during any portion of the Term and (ii) is for a period of more than one year.

(vi) At any time between the License Periods, Licensor may exhibit or authorize the exhibition of a Picture on any form of Television other than (i) Pay Television or (ii) on a subscription, commercial free basis, any electronic transmission or exhibition of an intangible format embodying a Picture, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit In-Store Digital Download on a subscription basis at any time after the end of the First License Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence or any other provision in this Section 2(b) above, during each Year Licensor shall have the right to exhibit (or authorize the exhibition of) up to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the Pictures that are between their First License Period and Second License Period at any one time (such Pictures being referred to for purposes of this subsection 2(b)(vi) as the “Applicable Interval Pictures”) over any SOD services owned and/or operated by Licensor and/or a Licensor Affiliate and delivered only via the Internet and/or New Media networks. In the event that the aforesaid seven and one-half percent (7.5) calculation results in other than a whole number, the number of permissible Applicable Interval Pictures shall be determined by rounding up to the next whole number. By way of example, if the seven and one-half percent calculation results in a figure of 5.25, the number of Applicable Interval Pictures would be rounded up to 6. The Applicable Interval Pictures shall be selected by Licensor in its sole discretion;

provided, that, no particular Applicable Interval Picture shall be offered on any applicable SOD service pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 2(b)(vi): (x) for more than two (2) consecutive months at a time, (y) more than once per Year (regardless of length, but with each individual period being subject to the limitation in the preceding clause (x)), nor (z) during the first twelve (12) months following the expiration of the First License Period for such Applicable Interval Picture. Additionally, the restrictions in clauses (i) and (ii) of the initial sentence of this Section 2(b)(vi) shall not prohibit Licensor from exhibiting or authorizing the exhibition of Pictures at any time between the License Periods on Programming Services (e.g., Sundance Channel, SONY Movie Channel and HD Net Movies) that are not ad supported but are otherwise generally distributed as part of a programming tier or package of channels that does not include premium Pay Television channels (e.g., HBO, EPIX, Showtime and Starz); provided, that, the exhibition of the Pictures on such Programming Service must include at least four (4) commercial or promotional interruptions of not less than fifteen seconds (0:00:15) in duration per interruption that, in each case, contain only full-screen advertisement(s) or other promotional content. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor’s rights in the immediately preceding sentence shall include the right to exploit Pictures on an on-demand basis on any on-demand enhancement of such Programming Service so long as such Programming Service complies with the restrictions and conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

STE shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its logo or comparable branding to appear prominently and persistently in the main entry-level webpages of all Internet services delivering the STE Services.

STE may propose other bundling or packaging of the STE Services (in addition to that set forth above) for Licensor’s prior approval, in which instance Licensor agrees to give due consideration to STE’s request, in good faith, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances (including, without limitation, the premium nature of the goods/services with which SPE then bundles or packages (or has bundled or packaged within the immediately preceding four (4) month period) any Licensed Pictures made available by SPE or any SPE Group Member on a PPV or VOD basis prior to such Licensed Pictures’ First License Period hereunder, the specific goods/services with which the STE Services would be bundled or packaged, STE’s and Licensor’s respective competitive considerations, an assessment as to whether the proposed bundled/packaged offering is likely to preserve or erode the “premium” nature of the STE Services and/or the “value” of the Licensed Pictures in the mind of consumers and Licensor’s “downstream” licensees, and the duration of the proposed bundled/packaged offering).

(B) In no event may an Open Internet Service bundle any Un-Tethered STE SOD Service or STE Pay Television Service with anything other than the items described in subsection (A) above without first obtaining Licensor’s written consent.

(C) If any Un-Tethered STE SOD Service or STE Pay Television Service is offered on an Open Internet Service on an a la carte basis over and above an OTT Video Package, then the price for such a la carte option must be described prominently within such Open Internet Service’s package descriptions and websites.

(iii) Limitations on Un-Tethered STE SOD Services . An Un-Tethered STE SOD Service shall be required to charge a periodic subscription fee no more frequently than monthly (and in no event shall an Un-Tethered STE SOD Service be made available on a Negative Option Basis).

(iv) Internet Restrictions . From and after the Effective Date, (a) STE shall not, and shall contractually bind its Open Internet Service licensees not to, refer to any STE Pay Television Service or STE SOD Service delivered on an OTT basis as being any form of “free,” in any marketing, advertising, promotion or other public communication except as a part of a Promotion, (b) STE shall not, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contractually bind its licensees not to, refer to any STE Pay Television Service or STE SOD Service delivered via the Internet as being offered “at no additional cost” and the like, and (c) STE shall not, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contractually bind its licensees not to, refer to any STE Pay Television Service or STE SOD Service delivered via the Internet or by or on behalf of cable, satellite, IPTV and/or New Closed System Delivery Companies over the Internet on a so-called “TV Everywhere” basis as being offered “at no additional cost” and the like without also including a message that TV Everywhere access to the STE Pay Television Service or STE SOD Service is available “at no additional cost with your Starz subscription”. For clarity, messages where consumers are being encouraged to subscribe to an STE Service in order to get something else for free are permissible. The occasional and inadvertent failure of an STE affiliate to comply with the terms and conditions of this subsection 2(c)(iv) shall not constitute a breach by STE hereunder, provided that upon learning of such failure, STE promptly commences (but in no event more than seventy-two (72) hours after learning of such failure) to act in good faith to remedy any such failure and

takes all reasonable action necessary to remedy such failure as soon as practicable and in any event within the cure period, if any, set forth in the applicable distribution agreement between such non-complying STE affiliate and STE.

(d) Other SOD Terms and Conditions . STE SOD Services (regardless of means of delivery, unless otherwise expressly stated) may only be made available to subscribers , subject to the following limitations.

(i) STE SOD Services (other than Un-Tethered SOD Services) must only be made available to subscribers of a STE Pay Television Service. In each calendar month, subscribers to (A) the STE Pay Television Service currently known as Starz or a comparable STE Pay Television Service (in terms of when, within their first Pay Television “window,” motion pictures are scheduled for Pay Television exhibition and pricing to STE licensees) (each, a “Starz Channel”) shall have the right to access any Licensed Picture via SOD during (but only during) STE’s License Period(s) for such Licensed Picture and at all times subject to Section 2(d)(i)(1) and Section 2(d)(ii) below; (B) an STE Pay Television Service which is scheduled in a manner comparable to the STE Pay Television Service currently known as Encore (in terms of when, within their first Pay Television ‘window,” motion pictures are scheduled for Pay Television exhibition and pricing to STE licensees) (each, an “Encore Channel”) shall have the right to access any Picture via SOD Licensed Picture via SOD during (but only during) STE’s License Period(s) for such Licensed Picture and at all times subject to Section 2(d)(i)(2) and Section 2(d)(ii) below; and (C) a STE Pay Television Service other than a Starz Channel or an Encore Channel shall have the right to access via SOD only those Licensed Pictures which are scheduled on such STE Pay Television Service(s) during such month to which a consumer subscribes, but only during STE’s License Period(s) for each such Licensed Picture and subject to Section 2(d)(ii) below; provided, however, that:

(A) (1) subscribers to a linear Starz Channel shall have the right to access a Licensed Picture via SOD only during the period (A) commencing on the later of the (I) first day of the full calendar month immediately preceding the month that such Licensed Picture is exhibited on such linear Starz Channel, and (II) date 45 days immediately before the date such Licensed Picture is exhibited on such linear Starz Channel and (B) ending the date 45 days after such Licensed Picture is exhibited on such linear Starz Channel; and

(B) (2) subscribers to a linear Encore Channel shall have the right to access a Licensed Picture via SOD only during the period (A) commencing on the later of the (I) first day of the full calendar month immediately preceding the month that such Licensed Picture is exhibited on such linear Encore Channel and (II) the date 45 days immediately before the date such Licensed Picture is exhibited on such linear Encore Channel and (B) ending the date 45 days after such Licensed Picture is exhibited on such linear Encore Channel.

Additionally, all exhibitions via SOD shall be subject to and in accordance with the other limitations set forth herein. The Licensed Pictures shall constitute not more than one-half of the total number of motion pictures on any single STE SOD Service (by way of clarity, including any Un-Tethered STE SOD Service) in any calendar quarter . STE represents and warrants that more than one-half of each and every single STE SOD Service (by way of clarity, including any Un-Tethered STE SOD Service) on which Licensed Pictures are exhibited shall be comprised at all times of theatrically

released motion pictures. If at any time during the Term STE is party to an Output Agreement with any other Major Production/Distribution Studio, then STE shall possess the right from such Major Production/Distribution Studio to exhibit “first-run” motion pictures on an SOD basis delivered over the Internet and New Media and such rights shall remain in effect until at least the end of the term of such Output Agreement.

(ii) A Licensed Picture may be made available for viewing by subscribers by SOD on an STE SOD Service and, if electronically downloaded on a subscriber’s Storage Device for viewing on an SOD basis, may be accessible (i.e., viewable) on such Storage Device, only during the applicable Licensed Picture-access periods noted above in Section 2(d)(i); provided, however, in no event may any Licensed Picture be available for SOD viewing on an STE SOD Service (or, if electronically downloaded on a subscriber’s Storage Device for viewing on an SOD basis, be accessible on such Storage Device) during the last thirty (30) days of its First License Period.

(iii) All exhibitions of Licensed Pictures by SOD shall be subject to the provisions of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement including without limitation those contained in Sections 14 and 16.

(iv) In order to control accessibility to Licensed Pictures delivered via SOD on an STE SOD Service, STE agrees that, following the initial receipt and storage on a subscriber’s Storage Device of a SOD transmission of a Licensed Picture, such SOD transmission shall not be capable of being retransmitted, transferred or otherwise copied to any other recording device or Storage Device, provided, that a temporary “caching” or “buffering” that is necessary to enable the subscriber to view such Licensed Picture in the ordinary course as permitted under this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement shall not be prohibited; provided, that, subject to any further restrictions arising under Section 16 below, the foregoing shall not be construed to require STE to preclude a subscriber from being able to copy onto a digital video recorder for time-shifting purposes, by means of an independent action taken by the subscriber, the uncompressed signal being transmitted to such subscriber’s television or other monitor in the ordinary course of such subscriber’s viewing of such Licensed Picture. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Licensed Picture recorded by a subscriber on a digital video recorder remain accessible (i.e., viewable) on such digital video recorder after the last day of the License Period during which such Licensed Picture was initially delivered and STE shall only enable such personal video recorder functionality where the foregoing restriction can be enforced. In no event shall Licensed Pictures delivered via SOD on an STE SOD Service be transferred from a Storage Device to any other device; it being acknowledged that STE may “side load” digital files to an end user’s Storage Device from a personal computer to the extent permitted under, and subject to, Exhibit C and Schedule U.

(v) Licensor Affiliate Delivery of STE Internet Services : If any Licensor Affiliate that offers goods or services in the Territory that are similar to any other then-current licensee of STE desires to license any STE Services distributed via the Internet (“Internet Services”), such Licensor Affiliate shall notify STE and STE shall negotiate in good faith with such Licensor Affiliate the terms and conditions pursuant to which STE would license to such Licensor Affiliate those Internet Services (the “Internet Service Terms and Conditions”). STE agrees that such Internet Services Terms and

Conditions shall be non-discriminatory to such Licensor Affiliate taking into account then prevailing market conditions. STE shall only be required to grant such Licensor Affiliate the Internet Services Terms and Conditions on an all-or-nothing basis, and only for so long as such the same are in effect for any third party to whom such terms were originally granted, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Internet Services Terms and Conditions offered to such Licensor Affiliate shall be adjusted in good faith by STE with respect to any terms or conditions that the Licensor Affiliate cannot reasonably perform or for any other reasonable differentiating factors (such as difference in numbers of subscribers and adoption rates). For clarity and notwithstanding any provision of this Amended & Restated Amendment to the contrary, a subscriber receiving STE Internet Service(s) from any such Licensor Affiliate shall not count toward the twenty-five million (25,000,000) subscriber threshold figure described in Paragraph II of Exhibit A attached hereto, and STE shall not have any obligation to remit any Open Internet License Fees under said Paragraph II of Exhibit A to Licensor hereunder in connection with such subscribers; provided, however, that STE shall nevertheless report the number of such subscribers, if any, in each Certified Subscriber Report provided to Licensor pursuant to Section 28(f) below.

(e) Exhibition Limitations on Major Production/Distribution Studio-Named Channels . STE shall not be permitted to exhibit any of the Licensed Pictures on any channel that contains in its name any name of another Major Production/Distribution Studio (or variation of such names).

(f) Exhibitions on a Later Acquired Significant Service . If STE shall acquire a fifty percent (50%) or greater ownership interest in, and shall operate or manage, any of the Pay Television services currently known as “Showtime,” “EPIX”, “HBO,” “Cinemax,” “The Movie Channel,” “Netflix,” “Amazon,” “Hulu,” or “Xfinity” (“Later Acquired Significant Service”), STE shall have the right either to:

(i) exhibit a Licensed Picture on such Later Acquired Significant Service in which case the License Fee for each Licensed Picture that is exhibited on such Later Acquired Significant Service shall be equal to the License Fee for such Licensed Picture as set forth in Paragraph I of Exhibit A multiplied by:

(A) 105%, if the Later Acquired Significant Service is any of the services noted above other than “HBO” or “Cinemax”; or

(B) 110%, if the Later Acquired Significant Service is any of the services currently known as “HBO” or “Cinemax”.

For purposes of clarification, the highest License Fee per Licensed Picture set forth on Exhibit A shall also be increased for an applicable Licensed Picture by the relevant amount set forth above. Further, by way of clarity, any and all calculations of the License Fee for any Picture affected by an election pursuant to this Subsection 2(f)(i), including, without limitation, any calculation made pursuant to Section 3(c), Section 4(a)(i)(A), Section 4(a)(i)(B) and Section 4(e), as and if applicable, shall be made after giving effect to the provisions of this Section 2(f).

(ii) not exhibit a Licensed Picture on such Later Acquired Significant Service, notwithstanding its status as a STE Service, in which case the License Fee for such Licensed Picture will be as set forth on Exhibit A.

By way of clarity, the License Fee adjustment above shall apply (and the calculation applied on a compounded basis) each time that STE acquires a Later Acquired Significant Service and makes the election described in Subsection 2(f)(i) above.

3. Exhibition Rights .

(a) First License Period.

(i) STE shall have the exclusive right to exhibit each Picture licensed hereunder for three hundred (300) Exhibitions (in the aggregate) on up to 10 channels of the STE Pay Television Services (for purposes of clarification, SOD services shall not count as channels and multiple time zone feeds and Mirror Services shall count as a single channel) during such Picture’s First License Period; provided, however that the foregoing provision limiting the number of Exhibitions in the aggregate to three hundred shall not apply to any Pre-Effective Date Exhibition Day Picture (it being understood and agreed that STE shall be permitted to exhibit any such Pre-Effective Date Exhibition Day Picture on 120 Exhibition Days during its First License Period). As used herein, the “First License Period” means for Pictures having an Initial Theatrical Release on or prior to December 31, 2013, a 16 month period, and , for Pictures having an Initial Theatrical Releases on January 1, 2014 or later, an 18 month period, in each case, commencing on its Availability Date. The Availability Date for each Picture, other than a Holiday Themed Picture (as defined below) , shall be determined by Licensor in its sole discretion and be no later than the earliest to occur of 13 months after such Picture’s Initial Theatrical Release, or 10 months after such Picture’s General Theatrical Release, 3 ½ months after its Initial Pay-Per-View Release or Initial Video-On-Demand Release, and 4 ½ months after such Picture’s Initial Home Video Release. The Availability Date for each Holiday Themed Picture shall be determined by Licensor in its sole discretion and be a date no earlier than a date which would permit STE to exhibit such Picture over two relevant holidays (i.e., two Thanksgivings if a Thanksgiving-themed Picture, and two Christmases if a Christmas-themed Picture); provided, that in no event shall such Availability Date be later than 24 months following the General Theatrical Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amended & Restated Amendment, for purposes of Sections 3(a)(i) and 3(a)(ii): (x) all references to a Picture’s Initial Video-On-Demand Release and Initial Pay-Per-View Release shall expressly exclude any PPV/VOD exhibitions that occur as part of a Home Theater exhibition; and (y) all references to a Picture’s Initial Video-On-Demand Release, Initial Pay-Per-View Release and Initial Home Video Release shall expressly exclude any exhibitions covered by Section 2(b)(vii) above. A “Holiday Themed Picture” shall mean any Picture with a General Theatrical Release occurring in November or December with specific references to Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 3(a)(i), for up to one Picture per Year that is a re-release and up to two other Pictures per Year, the First License Period may commence on a date which is the earliest of 18 months after such Picture’s Initial Theatrical Release, or 15 months after such Picture’s General Theatrical Release, or eight months after such Picture’s Initial Video-On-Demand Release, or six months after such Picture’s Initial Home Video Release or Initial Pay-Per-View Release.

(iii) Notwithstanding Section 3(a)(i), but solely with respect to up to three (3) Pictures that are 2013 Releases, such Pictures to be selected by STE in its sole discretion within the time period set forth below, the First License Period shall be an eighteen month period commencing on the date as determined in accordance with Section 3(a). STE shall make its selection of the up to three Pictures within 30 days of Licensor’s delivery to STE of Licensor’s designation of the Availability Date for a Picture pursuant to a notice as provided for in Section 27; provided, that Licensor shall have the right to request, in writing, that STE make such selection prior to Licensor’s delivery to STE of Licensor’s designation of the Availability Date for a Picture pursuant to a notice as provided for in Section 27. In such event, STE shall make its selection earlier, and within the requested response time set forth in Licensor’s applicable request, which response time may be as short as five business days from the date of STE’s receipt of such request in the case of a request that immediately precedes or follows the Initial Theatrical Release of such Picture; provided, that in no event shall STE have any obligation to respond prior to the first Friday after the first Monday following the relevant Picture’s Initial Theatrical Release. STE’s failure to provide Licensor of STE’s decision with respect to a particular Picture within the applicable response period shall be deemed to be STE’s election that such Picture shall not have an extended First License Period under this Section 3(a)(iii).

(b) Second License Period. STE shall have the exclusive right to exhibit each Picture licensed hereunder for one hundred twenty

(120) Exhibition Days (in the aggregate) on up to 10 channels of the STE Pay Television Services (for purposes of clarification, SOD services shall not count as channels) (i) for each Picture having an Initial Theatrical Release prior to January 1, 2017, during a 13-month period and (ii) for each Picture having an Initial Theatrical Release on January 1, 2017 or later, a 15-month period (“Second License Period”) which shall commence between one year and six years and one month after the end of the First License Period of such Picture. Licensor shall notify STE in writing of the commencement date of the Second License Period at least one hundred fifty (150) days prior to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Licensor fails to notify STE by two years after the end of the First License Period of a Picture that Licensor has entered into one or more permitted Television license agreements with respect to such Picture, and Licensor fails to so notify STE within 10 days after receipt by Licensor of a notice from STE informing Licensor of such failure, then the Second License Period for such Picture shall commence five months after the date of STE’s notice to Licensor of such failure.

(c) Window Interruptions. For up to two Pictures per release Year, which Pictures for such release Year shall not be among the top

three box office Pictures to be licensed hereunder for such release Year, Licensor may interrupt STE’s First License Period for a single exhibition on any Television service (other than a Pay Television service) in the Territory that Licensor or any Licensor Affiliate operates or manages, provided, that Licensor or such Licensor Affiliate, as applicable, must have an ownership interest in such service, with a corresponding extension of STE’s First License Period. Such interruption shall occur no earlier than the 12th month of the First License Period and shall last no longer than three months within such interruption period. Licensor shall notify STE in writing if a Picture’s First License Period is to be interrupted not later than the end of the sixth month of such Picture’s First License Period. No promotion of such exhibition of such Picture may occur until the interruption period begins. The License Fee for a Picture whose First License Period is interrupted pursuant to this Section 3(c) which is exhibited only in the Spanish language shall be 75% of the License Fee determined

pursuant to Exhibit A and the License Fee for a Picture whose First License Period is interrupted pursuant to this Section 3(c) which is exhibited in the English language shall be 66% of the License Fee determined pursuant to Exhibit A. If a Picture’s First License Period is interrupted in accordance with the terms of this Section, the amount by which the License Fee for such Picture is reduced shall be deducted by STE from each payment made to Licensor after the date of determination of the amount of reduction until such amount has been fully recouped by STE.

STE shall have the right to exhibit each Library Feature with a 15-month License Period on not more than 105 Exhibition Days (in the aggregate) on up to 10 channels of the STE Services during its License Period (for purposes of clarification, SOD Services shall not count as channels) . If a Library Feature has a License Period that is longer or shorter than 15 months, the foregoing maximum permitted number of Exhibition Days shall be increased or decreased, respectively, on a pro-rata basis. By way of example, a Library Feature with a 12-month License Period shall have a maximum of 84 Exhibition Days during its License Period and a Library Feature with a 16-month License Period shall have a maximum of 112 Exhibition Days during its License Period.

(b) Pre-Existing Commitment .Library Series. STE shall have the right to exhibit each episode of each Library Series on not more than the number of Exhibition Days (in the aggregate) specified on Exhibit A attached hereto on up to 10 channels of the STE Services during its License Period (for purposes of clarification, SOD Services shall not count as channels).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, at the time that a particular theatrical motion picture that could qualify as a Picture hereunder is (or any relevant distribution rights thereto are) first offered to an SPE Group Member, the U.S. Pay Television rights of which are subject to a bona fide pre-existing commitment, then such motion picture shall not be required by Licensor to be included hereunder (unless an SPE Group Member subsequently obtains such Pay Television rights and an SPE Group Member theatrically releases such motion picture in the U.S.); provided, that if the application of this subsection is triggered as a result of Licensor’s acquisition of a third party entity, then, solely for purposes of this parenthetical, the term “SPE Group Member” shall not include such third party entity.

(c) Unavailability of Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to a motion picture that could qualify as a

Picture hereunder, if, at the time that such motion picture is (or any relevant distribution rights thereto are) acquired by an SPE Group Member, the person or entity from whom the SPE Group Member is acquiring its rights is unwilling or unable to license the U.S. Pay Television rights to such SPE Group Member notwithstanding such SPE Group Member’s good faith efforts to obtain the same, then such motion picture shall not be included hereunder (unless an SPE Group Member subsequently obtains such U.S. Pay Television rights and an SPE Group Member theatrically releases such motion picture in the U.S.); provided, that if the application of this subsection is triggered as a result of Licensor’s acquisition of a third party entity, then, solely for purposes of this parenthetical, the term “SPE Group Member” shall not include such third party entity.

(d) [Intentionally Blank]

(e) Delayed Release Pictures; Animated Pictures; Restricted Pictures; Live Event Programs.

(i) For any motion picture, other than an Animated Picture or a Restricted Picture (each as defined below), which otherwise qualifies as a Picture hereunder but which has its Initial Theatrical Release more than twenty-four months but less than forty-two months after the completion of principal photography (a “Delayed Release Picture”), STE shall be required to license such Delayed Release Picture hereunder pursuant to the following terms: (1) such Delayed Release Picture’s License Fee shall be an amount equal to the License Fee otherwise applicable to such motion picture as set forth on Exhibit A, less an amount equal to thirty-two percent (32%) of such License Fee (the “Adjusted License Fee”) and (2) the Adjusted License Fee for such Delayed Release Picture shall be further reduced as follows: (A) for each month beyond the twenty-fourth month after the completion of principal photography (commencing on the last day of the twenty-fourth month), the Adjusted License Fee shall be further reduced per month until the forty-second month by an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the otherwise applicable License Fee for such Delayed Release Picture as set forth on Exhibit A. By way of example, the License Fee for a Delayed Release Picture which has an Initial Theatrical Release thirty-six months after the completion of principal photography would be reduced by a total of fifty percent (50%) (32% + 18% [1.5% x 12]) of the License Fee otherwise applicable to such Delayed Release Picture as set forth on Exhibit A. For each Delayed Release Picture which

has its Initial Theatrical Release more than forty-two months following the completion of principal photography, STE shall have neither the right nor the obligation to license such motion picture hereunder.

(ii) STE shall have the right and obligation to license an Animated Picture or Restricted Picture only if its Initial Theatrical Release occurs no later than forty-two months after completion of principal photography. As used herein, an “Animated Picture” is a motion picture that otherwise qualifies as a Picture hereunder and comprises a substantial amount of animation, computer graphics and/or special effects and “Restricted Picture” is a motion picture that otherwise qualifies as a Picture hereunder and is subject to talent restrictions regarding its Initial Theatrical Release.

(iii) For each Year during the Term, STE shall have the obligation to license one (1) live event film per Year that would otherwise constitute a Live Event Program if, and solely to the extent that: (a) such Live Event Program primarily and prominently features a musical act and at least fifty percent (50%) of the run-time (inclusive of credits) of such Live Event Program consists of footage of a live performance; and (b) such Live Event Program is made available by Licensor pursuant to the terms hereof during a given Year. For clarity, it is understood and agreed that Licensor does not have any obligation to make any Live Event Program available for licensing under this Amended and Restated Amendment, but if such a Live Event Program is made available by Licensor pursuant to this Section 4(e)(iii), then STE shall license such film hereunder as a Picture and shall have the right to exploit such Picture in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Amended & Restated Amendment; provided, that, the License Fee payable by STE for a Live Event Program that satisfies both (a) and (b) above shall be seventy-five percent (75%) of the License Fee determined by reference to the applicable Rate Card set forth in Section I of Exhibit A. For the avoidance of doubt, any Live Event Program licensed with respect to a given Year shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the other Pictures required to be licensed under this Amended & Restated Amendment.

(f) PPV/VOD Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a motion picture which would otherwise qualify as a

Picture hereunder but which is exhibited by PPV or VOD (but not any other form of exhibition) by Licensor during the Term in the Territory up to 30 days prior to or concurrently with its Initial Theatrical Release shall be included as a Picture hereunder.

(g) Objectionable Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to a motion picture which would otherwise

qualify as a Picture hereunder but for which Licensor has delivered to STE obligations or restrictions that (i) are beyond the scope and nature of restrictions on exhibitions/promotional rights that can be found in contracts with “A+” talent (whether, in the case of an actor, such “A+” talent is appearing prominently in the applicable motion picture or in a more limited or “cameo” role), (ii) are not otherwise required under any guild or union agreement to which the applicable Picture is subject and (iii) materially frustrate STE’s ability to enjoy its rights hereunder with respect to such Picture (any such restrictions and obligations that meet the test in each of (i)-(iii) above, if any, shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Objectionable Restriction”), STE shall not be required to license such motion picture hereunder and shall have the option to license such motion picture in accordance with the following provisions:

Amended and Restated Amendment to Pay Television License Agreement (EXECUTION VERSION Feb-8-2013)

Page 41: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

(i) With respect to any such motion picture, Licensor shall deliver a notice of such obligations or restrictions and a screener to STE not later than 60 days after such motion picture’s Initial Theatrical Release;

(ii) STE shall have 30 days after the receipt of both such notice and screener in which to notify Licensor in writing whether STE elects to license such motion picture under the terms and conditions of this Amended & Restated Amendment or to notify Licensor in writing of the different terms and conditions on which STE would be willing to license such motion picture. If STE offers such different terms and conditions, the parties shall then negotiate for a 30 day period with respect to the licensing of such motion picture.

(iii) If STE does not affirmatively elect to license said motion picture on the basis set forth in subsection (ii), Licensor shall have the right to license such motion picture in the Territory to a third party without any further obligation to STE hereunder, subject only to the two immediately succeeding sentences. If Licensor offers such motion picture for Pay Television exhibition on terms and conditions more favorable to the applicable Pay Television offeree than those contained herein, or in such final offer, as applicable (as applicable, “Section 4(g) More Favorable Terms”), then Licensor shall again offer such motion picture to STE and STE shall have 10 days after receipt of such offer to notify Licensor in writing that STE elects to license such motion pictures on such Section 4(g) More Favorable Terms. For purposes of clarification, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, if Licensor obtains an offer from a Pay Television service to license such motion picture, and such offer is subject to all the terms and conditions hereof, including the Objectionable Restrictions, or is subject to all the terms and conditions of STE’s final offer, as applicable, but has a license fee higher than that contained herein or offered by STE, then Licensor shall be free to license such motion picture to such Pay Television service without first again offering such motion picture to STE.

(h) SPE Policies. It is understood that Licensor will not modify its policies in connection with U.S. Pay Television rights to

first-run feature-length motion pictures primarily for purposes of frustrating STE’s rights hereunder.

(i) Studio Acquisition. If Licensor or any Licensor Affiliate actively seeks to acquire or otherwise does acquire any (or a

significant equity interest in a Major Production/Distribution Studio then, in any pursuit of such Major Production/Distribution Studio, Licensor covenants that, if Licensor or any Licensor Affiliate is acquiring the U.S. theatrical distribution rights to such Major Production/Distribution Studio’s motion pictures, Licensor or such Licensor Affiliate will put forth its reasonable efforts to obtain Pay Television rights for such Major Production/Distribution Studio’s motion pictures, subject to pre-existing Pay Television license agreements, and additionally, provided, that Licensor or such Licensor Affiliate can do so without violating any applicable law and/or the rights of any third party and/or any fiduciary duty that Licensor or such Licensor Affiliate may have to third parties (provided, that any such rights created under an agreement between Licensor or such Licensor Affiliate, on the one hand, and any third party, on the other hand, are a result of a bona fide agreement negotiated in good faith and in the ordinary course of business dealing), shall use its reasonable efforts to prevent any new Pay Television agreements or any extension or change to existing Pay Television agreements of such Major Production/Distribution Studio in the period prior to closing. If, notwithstanding the attempts of Licensor or such Licensor

Affiliate using reasonable efforts, Licensor or such Licensor Affiliate is unsuccessful in obtaining such Pay Television rights or in preventing an extension or change in an existing agreement, it shall not be prohibited from theatrically distributing such motion picture(s), and such motion pictures (regardless of whether their respective Initial Theatrical Release occurs during the Term) shall not be licensed hereunder. Further, if Licensor or such Licensor Affiliate does not go forward with the intended acquisition, all of such party’s obligations, duties and undertakings in favor of STE under this Section in connection with such intended acquisition shall cease and Licensor or such Licensor Affiliate shall be released from any obligations, duties and undertakings that it might have otherwise had to STE under this Section in connection with such intended acquisition, unless Licensor or such Licensor Affiliate again seeks to acquire such Major Production/Distribution Studio, in which case the provisions of this Section shall thereupon re-apply.

(j) Sale of Affiliate. If Licensor or a Licensor Affiliate divests itself of the controlling interest in any SPE Group Member (other

than the then primary distribution arm of Licensor), then any motion picture produced or acquired by such divested entity that is Theatrically Released By any entity or person that is not an SPE Group Member shall not be eligible to be included as a Picture hereunder. For purposes of clarification, any motion picture that is produced by such divested entity but is Theatrically Released By an SPE Group Member shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

(k) Acquisition of Eligible Production Company. In addition to the motion pictures that can be excluded from this Amended & Restated Amendment

pursuant to Section 4(b), Licensor shall have the right to exclude from this Amended & Restated Amendment motion pictures Theatrically Released By an SPE Group Member that are produced by one Eligible Production Company that is acquired by an SPE Group Member after the Amendment Date. An “Eligible Production Company” shall mean a production company that has, as of the date an SPE Group Member acquires its ownership thereof, been an active operating entity for at least two years and that has produced at least one motion picture that has been theatrically released in the Territory, and that has a pre-existing, as of the date that an SPE Group Member first commences substantive negotiations to acquire such production company, Pay Television output agreement for the Territory, which output agreement does not encumber such production company’s motion pictures for more than five years (based on Pay Television availability dates) after the date such production company is acquired by an SPE Group Member (or which output agreement does not extend more than five years (based on Pay Television availability dates) into the Term, with respect to a production company acquired by an SPE Group Member prior to the commencement of the Term). If Licensor acquires an Eligible Production Company, Licensor shall be required to deliver to STE not less than the Minimum Output Number of Pictures in each Year during the Term in which such Eligible Production Company’s output agreement remains in effect. The “Minimum Output Number of Pictures” shall be determined by taking the total number of motion pictures theatrically released by the primary theatrical distribution arm of Licensor and licensed by Licensor for Pay Television exhibition during the three Years prior to the year in which an SPE Group Member acquires such Eligible Production Company, dividing such number by three and then subtracting two from the result and rounding such result to a whole number (decimals up to .5 shall be rounded down and decimals .5 and over shall be rounded up). With respect to each Year during the Term in which the Eligible Production Company’s output agreement remains in effect, not later than 30 days after the end of such Year, Licensor shall pay to STE an amount equal to $17.5 million (provided, that if such payment relates to any motion picture with an Initial Theatrical Release in 2014 or thereafter during the Term, then such

amount shall be $13.0 million) multiplied by the difference between the Minimum Output Number of Pictures and the actual number of Pictures theatrically released by the primary theatrical distribution arm of Licensor that have their First License Period commence in such Year, provided, that no such payment will be due if (i) the number of Pictures that have their First License Period commence in such Year is equal to or more than the Minimum Output Number of Pictures and/or (ii) if the number of theatrical motion pictures produced by such Eligible Production Company that have a Pay Television availability date in such Year is zero.

(l) SPA Withdrawal Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Licensor shall have the option (the “SPA Withdrawal

Option”), exercisable in its sole discretion (if at all) upon written notice provided to STE on or before the day that is 180 days prior to the Availability Date of the first SPA Animated Picture theatrically released in 2014, to exclude from this Amended & Restated Amendment on a prospective basis all SPA Animated Pictures (collectively “SPA Animated Pictures”, as defined below). If Licensor exercises the SPA Withdrawal Option timely, then effective on the date of such exercise but subject to the foregoing 180 day notice period, all SPA Animated Pictures that are Theatrically Released by an SPE Group Member in 2014 or thereafter shall be excluded from this Amended & Restated Amendment. In addition, should Licensor exercise the SPA Withdrawal Option, Licensor shall have the further right (but not the obligation) to exclude all (but not less than all) SPA Animated Pictures that were Theatrically Released By an SPE Group Member prior to the SPA Withdrawal Option exercise date but which (i) have not yet commenced their First License Period or (ii) are not scheduled to commence their First License Period within the immediately subsequent 60 day period pursuant to notice given by Licensor pursuant to Section 27 below; provided, however, that no such SPA Animated Picture which has already commenced its First License Period as of the date of Licensor’s exercise of the SPA Withdrawal Option shall be subject to withdrawal under this Section 4(l). “SPA Animated Pictures” means those Animated Pictures Theatrically Released By an SPE Group Member under the production label currently known as Sony Pictures Animation (or any replacement or successor production label), either alone or in combination with another SPE Group Member production label.

third parties, any pending or threatened claim, judicial proceeding or regulatory proceeding, or because Licensor in its reasonable good faith business judgment deems it necessary in order to prevent potential litigation or arbitration in order to minimize or avoid a liability to Licensor (all of the foregoing being collectively “Withdrawal Causes”); provided, that such Withdrawal Cause is not primarily the result of Licensor or any Licensor Affiliate entering into an agreement in breach of another provision hereof.

14. Encryption, Copy Protection; Previews/Free Trials .

(a) Encryption. The license granted hereunder, except as expressly stated in Section 16(c) or in an independent writing signed by Licensor and STE, is for encrypted transmission only.

(b) Copy Protection .

(i) For Cable/Satellite/IPTV . STE’s right to deliver the STE Services over cable, satellite and IPTV shall be subject to the following copy protection requirements:

(A) Future Contingency . Subject to subsections (I) through (IV) below, STE agrees to carry and, if applicable, encode and embed the Licensed Pictures with information pertaining to copy protection (“Copy Control Information” or “CCI”), and/or initiate or associate (“turn on”) CCI in or with the Licensed Pictures, in each case, as requested by Licensor.

(I) (I) Either (aa) a majority of Major Production/Distribution Studios (which may include Licensor), (bb) Licensor, Paramount, and Warner Bros., or (cc) three Major Production/Distribution Studios (in addition to Licensor and including at least one other Major Production/Distribution Studio that is, at the time of the initial request for implementation of CCI and/or a copy protection technology(ies), a party to a U.S. Pay Television Output Agreement with STE) (as applicable, “Studio Industry”) have approved and agreed upon CCI and/or a copy protection technology(ies);

(II) (II) Such technology and/or CCI, with respect to STE and its licensees and end users, does not interfere with or degrade the functional quality of any equipment or devices in connection with the distribution of the Licensed Pictures to subscribers (as such functional quality is viewed by the average subscriber);

(III) (III) The use of such technology and/or CCI by STE or its licensees will not cause STE or its licensees to incur any cost (other than an immaterial cost(s)), including without limitation any cost in the nature of a royalty. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the parties agree, or if an arbitrator rules that such costs are not immaterial, Licensor shall have the option to pay, or if applicable,

Amended and Restated Amendment to Pay Television License Agreement (EXECUTION VERSION Feb-8-2013)

Page 51: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

reimburse STE for such costs, in which case the condition set forth in this Section shall be deemed satisfied; and

(IV) (IV) The use of such technology and/or CCI has been or will immediately be instituted by the Studio Industry in a Television window prior to STE’s.

(B) Other Limitations .

(I) (I) Licensor agrees that Licensor shall not encode or embed CCI in the elements delivered to STE or to require STE to encode or embed CCI or to initiate or associate (“turn on”) CCI in or with the Licensed Pictures more restrictive than “copy once” for time shifting purposes on a temporary basis and not for archival purposes (it being understood and agreed that (a) initial storage on either a subscriber’s Storage Device or personal portable device (the latter by means of a single side-load) as permitted in Section 2(a)(i), or (b) initial storage on a subscriber’s Storage Device in other locations permitted in Section 2(a)(ii), constitutes one copy for purposes of this Section and that “copy once” may also include “no retransmission”); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor may require more restrictive CCI than those set forth above in connection with delivery of the Licensed Pictures via the Internet or New Media, including STE’s exercise of SOD rights, so long as the Licensor imposes the same CCI requirements on VOD distribution of the Licensed Pictures within the Territory.

(II) (II) In the event that HBO, EPIX and/or Showtime have implemented a copy protection scheme, to the extent STE, for any reason, has not implemented as restrictive CCI or as effective and/or robust copy protection technology as HBO, EPIX or Showtime, STE will not seek to market the comparative absence of such feature(s) as a means of attracting or obtaining subscribers to the STE Services.

(III) (III) STE shall have no liability in connection with the exhibition of the Licensed Pictures for any “hacks” of or “spoofing attacks” against the CCI or copy protection technology as implemented by STE in accordance with Licensor’s request. In this connection, the provisions of Section 12(a) shall be applicable.

(C) Pass-Through . Subject to subsections (b)(i)(A)(I) through (b)(i)(A)(IV) above, in the event Licensor embeds or encodes or otherwise inserts or, if applicable, associates CCI in or, if applicable, with, the Licensed Pictures prior to delivery to STE, STE agrees to “pass through” to its affiliated systems (or to subscribers where delivering directly to subscribers) such CCI without alteration, modification or degradation in any manner.

(D) SOD Downloading . In connection with STE’s offering non-Internet or non-New Media SOD downloading services to its subscribers, STE shall implement such CCI and copy protection technology(ies) that are being implemented pursuant to the Studio Industry standard in connection with non-Internet or non-New Media VOD or PPV downloading. In the event, and so long as, there is no Studio Industry standard, STE shall implement (and, in connection with SOD, shall require those entities directly or indirectly providing SOD services to end users to implement) from time to time such CCI and/or copy protection technology(ies) that are designed effectively to frustrate attempts to defeat or circumvent the

copy protection provisions and other limitations set forth in this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement.

(E) Notice . Prior to implementing any particular CCI and/or copy protection technology(ies), STE shall consult with Licensor regarding such matters and give good faith consideration to Licensor’s input in connection therewith; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed so as to require STE to violate any confidentiality obligations that it might owe to third parties.

(F) Purported Violation; Arbitration . If at any time during any License Period hereunder Licensor has a reasonable belief that STE is in violation of the provisions of this Section 16(b)(i), Licensor shall provide STE notice of such purported violation. Beginning 60 days after the date of STE’s receipt of such notice, if STE and Licensor have not resolved such purported violation, then until the resolution of such purported violation, Licensor shall not be required to deliver Licensed Pictures hereunder. Upon receipt by STE of a notice of a purported violation of the provisions of this Section 16(b)(i), STE shall attempt to resolve such purported violation. Additionally, in addition to any other remedies either party may have at law or in equity, at any time beginning 30 days after receipt by STE of such notice, either party may submit such matter to binding arbitration on an expedited basis. Such expedited arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with Section 22(b).

(ii) For Internet and New Media .

(A) STE’s right to distribute the STE Services over the Internet and New Media shall be subject to STE utilizing, and requiring any entity distributing the STE Services over the Internet or New Media to implement, at all times content protection technology on the Licensed Pictures that are no less stringent or robust than the standards set forth on Exhibit C hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and the usage model set forth on Schedule U hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

(B) Suspension . If Licensor has reasonable cause to believe that STE’s security measures or Internet/New Media copy protection technology are not providing adequate protection with respect to the delivery of the Licensed Pictures over the Internet or New Media, Licensor shall have the right to suspend the availability via the Internet or New Media (“Suspension”) of any one or all of the Licensed Pictures on the STE Services by delivering a notice to Licensee of such suspension (“Suspension Notice”). Upon receipt of a Suspension Notice, STE shall take steps immediately to remove the Licensed Pictures or make the Licensed Pictures inaccessible via the Internet or New Media from the STE Services as soon as commercially feasible (but in no event more than seven (7) calendar days after receipt of such notice or, if applicable, such response). If the cause that gave rise to a Suspension is corrected, repaired, solved or otherwise addressed in the reasonable satisfaction of Licensor, the Suspension shall terminate upon Licensor’s delivery to STE of a notice thereof (“Reinstatement Notice”). For clarity, no period of Suspension shall extend the applicable License PeriodsPeriod for any Licensed Pictures in time, and upon a notice that a Suspension has ended, the License Period(s) shall end as otherwise provided herein. In no case may Licensor suspend STE’s rights hereunder unless it issues similar suspension notices to all licensees of Licensor that are affected by

Page 53: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

the security breach that caused Licensor to issue a Suspension Notice to STE, including without limitation all Licensor Affiliates, provided, that all such licensees are distributing substantially similar content (in terms of the window, format (i.e., HD/SD) and run time) over the Internet or New Media.

(c) Previews . Subject to the limitations of this Section 16, unencrypted transmission of the Licensed Pictures on STE Services delivered by closed systems owned and operated by MVPDs (i.e., cable, satellite, IPTV and New Closed System Delivery) during Previews held for the purpose of promoting STE’s Services to non-subscribers shall be permitted only as follows:

(i) On the STE Services, STE shall be entitled to unrestricted Single-Service Previews of any or all of the STE Services, which shall last no longer than 45 consecutive days and shall not occur more than two (2) times per Year in the case of any specific distributor, and up to two (2) Coordinated National Previews per Year, which shall last no longer than five consecutive days (each, a “Preview”), provided, that all such Previews shall only be transmitted via a platform on which the STE Service is, or is going to be within 60 days of such preview, transmitted in accordance with the terms of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement. No Licensed Pictures may be exhibited during a Preview unless such Preview is comprised of a preview of the entire STE Service on which such Licensed Picture is exhibited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Single-Service Preview of the STE SOD Service that (A) is not offered concurrently with a Preview of the corresponding STE Pay Television Service or (B) is offered to consumers that are not already subscribers to the STE Service to which such Preview relates, each such SOD Preview shall last no longer than 30 consecutive days, shall occur no earlier than 30 days following the end date of any preceding SOD Preview and shall be subject to all the other limitations set forth above.

(ii) All exhibitions during Previews shall be subject to the limitations on the license of that Licensed Picture set forth above.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16(c), unencrypted exhibitions of Previews over the Internet or New Media is expressly prohibited.

(iv) For purposes of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement, “Coordinated National Preview ” shall mean a preview during which STE allows all or substantially all of its distributors of any given STE Service(s) to simultaneously make such STE Service(s) available at no charge to persons who are not then currently receiving such STE Service(s); and “Single-Service Preview” shall mean all other previews that do not meet the criteria for a Coordinated National Preview; for clarity, (x) a preview by any single distributor may still constitute a “Single-Service Preview” even if such distributor’s “footprint” covers substantially the entire Territory (e.g., DirecTV) (unless it is otherwise part of a Coordinated National Preview) and (y) a particular distributor’s participation in a Coordinated National Preview shall not count against the two (2) Single-Service Previews per Year limitation otherwise applicable to such distributor. For the avoidance of doubt, Previews are intended to promote the STE Service(s) but Preview offerings do not have to require a commitment to sign-up/subscribe to the STE Service(s).

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, STE shall not be entitled to authorize or otherwise implement any Previews with respect to the STE Services delivered solely by means of the Internet (regardless of whether such Internet-delivered STE Service is

distributed by a cable, satellite, IPTV provider or by an Open Internet Service) other than on the Free Internet Trials basis described in Section 16(d)(ii) below.

(d) Free Trials (Sign-Up Commitment Required) :.

(i) Free Trials by MVPDs : STE and any closed systems owned and operated by MVPDs (i.e., cable, satellite, IPTV or New Closed System Delivery) distributing an STE Service shall be permitted to make any or all of the STE Services (including the Licensed Pictures available on such STE Services) available for promotional purposes to new subscribers in the Territory at no charge for a limited trial period (“Free Cable Trials ”) of up to ninety (90) consecutive days no more than once during any twelve (12) month period per subscriber; provided, that, Free Cable Trials shall only be available to subscribers if STE or the system distributing the applicable STE Service(s) secures, in advance and as a pre-condition to receiving access to such Free Cable Trial, a commitment from such subscriber to purchase a television programming plan for a period of no less than one year. In addition to the Licensed Pictures, all other programs available on the STE Service must be made available for exhibition to subscribers receiving the Free Cable Trial. Once a non-subscriber reaches the end of the Free Cable Trial that includes an STE Service, STE or STE’s distributor shall automatically begin charging such theretofore non-subscriber for continued access to the STE Service at the full subscription rate unless and until such subscriber elects to stop receiving any such STE Service(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, STE may, without need to first obtain Licensor’s prior written approval, authorize Free Cable Trials longer than ninety (90) days, but in no event longer than one hundred and fifty (150) days; provided, that if the primary premium channel of HBO or the primary premium channel of Showtime is also being made available by the applicable system distributor on a concurrent basis (i.e., as part of the same promotion and with the same commencement date and same end date) as part of a Free Cable Trial, then STE shall not be required to obtain Licensor’s prior written approval for a Free Cable Trial lasting more than ninety (90) days, but shall be required to notify Licensor of the specifics of any such Free Cable Trial lasting more than one hundred and fifty (150) days pursuant to the concurrent HBO or Showtime promotion provisions of this subsection (i) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event may any such Free Cable Trial last more than three hundred and sixty-five (365) days. In the event that Licensor receives any specific written correspondence from any of its free television licensees complaining about any such Free Cable Trial(s) that are longer than one hundred and fifty (150) days, then Licensee shall notify STE and, in Licensor’s discretion, STE shall immediately cease including the applicable Licensed Pictures from the feed of the STE Service(s) being offered in such Free Cable Trial(s) and, in such an event, on a prospective basis, STE shall be required to first obtain Licensor’s consent to any Free Cable Trial(s) longer than one hundred and fifty (150) days notwithstanding the concurrent HBO or Showtime promotion provisions of this subsection (i) above, which consent Licensor agrees not to unreasonably withhold or delay. STE’s occasional failure to secure Licensor’s prior written approval for Free Cable Trials lasting longer than ninety (90) days (or longer than one hundred and fifty (150) days, as the case may be), as and when required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not constitute a material breach of this provision.

(ii) Free Trials By Internet Distributors . STE and any STE distributor that is distributing an STE Service solely by means of the Internet shall be permitted to make any or all of the STE Services (including the Licensed Pictures available on such STE Service)

available for promotional purposes to new subscribers in the Territory at no charge for a limited trial period (“Free Internet Trial”) for up to thirty (30) consecutive days no more than once during any twelve (12) month period per subscriber. In addition to the Licensed Pictures, all other programs available on the STE Service must be made available for exhibition to subscribers receiving the Free Internet Trial. Prior to enabling the trial period for a Free Internet Trial for a new subscriber, STE or the distributor that is distributing the STE Service must require such new subscriber to input account credentials, including without limitation name, email address and credit card or other valid payment information. Once a subscriber reaches the end of the Free Internet Trial, STE or STE’s distributor shall automatically begin charging such subscriber for continued access to the STE Service unless such subscriber affirmatively opts out of continuing access to the STE Service (or the Open Internet Service that includes STE Service) prior to the end of the Free Internet Trial period. By way of clarity, the Free Internet Trials must at all times comply with all of the copy protection and other security requirements otherwise applicable to permitted Internet exhibitions under this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement.

15. Insurance . Licensor shall procure and maintain at its own cost and expense the following insurance policies for the duration of the Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement:

(a) Commercial General Liability including blanket contractual for the limits of $1,000,000 each occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate.

(b) Producer's Errors & Omissions or Media Liability for the usual and customary coverages of such policies for the limits of $3,000,000 per claim and $5,000,000 in the aggregate. A claims-made policy will be acceptable providing that there is no lapse in coverage.

(c) The above policies referenced in Sections 17(a) and 17(b) are to be endorsed to show STE, its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, its licensees, and the officers, directors, agents and employees as additional insureds; have a Severability of Interest clause; a prior thirty (30) days written notice of cancellation and that the above liability policies are primary and any insurance maintained by STE is non-contributory.

(d) All of the insurance carriers of Licensor will be licensed to do business in the states and/or countries where operations or services of the Licensor are performed or provided. All of Licensor’s insurance carriers will have an A.M. Best Guide rating of at least A- or better.

(e) Certificate(s) of insurance and the additional insured endorsement will be delivered to STE as soon as practicable after the execution of the AmendmentAgreement.

To the extent that Licensor’s Initial Breach-Related Suspension Notice includes a demand that STE cease the exhibition and promotion (or cease any particular exhibition and promotion) of the Licensed Pictures on the STE Services and/or cause any one or more Breaching STE Distributor Affiliate(s) to cease the exhibition and promotion (or cease any particular exhibition and promotion) of the

It is expressly understood and acknowledged by the parties that the fact that the parties have limited the application of this Section 24(c)(iv) to the Section 24(c)(iv) Breaches is not meant to suggest (and shall not be cited by either of the parties as reflective of an intention by the parties to suggest) that: (I) those are the only breaches under this Amended and Restated AmendmentAgreement that may result in irreparable harm or injury to Licensor, or that may give rise to an action for equitable relief in favor of Licensor, or for which there is no adequate remedy at law; (II) STE is precluded from asserting a claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law in the context of a breach other than a Section 24(c)(iv) Breach or from challenging Licensor’s assertion of irreparable injury or harm in the context of any breach other than a Section 24(c)(iv) Breach; and/or (III) the Section 24(c)(iv) Breaches are to be used as a reference point against which other breaches for which Licensor asserts irreparable harm or injury and seeks equitable relief are to be compared, measured or assessed. Further, it is expressly understood and acknowledged by the parties that STE’s waiver of the claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law in the limited context of a Section 24(c)(iv) Breach shall not be construed as a waiver of any defense that STE may have challenging the merits of Licensor’s assertion that a Section 24(c)(iv) Breach has occurred.

23. Confidentiality . It is acknowledged that neither Licensor nor STE shall disclose to any third party (other than its respective employees, directors and officers, in their capacity as such, on a need-to-know basis), any information with respect to the provisions and financial terms of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement except:

28. Assignment . This Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement may only be assigned by either party hereto, without the consent of the other party, to a party’s parent, subsidiary or affiliated entity. No such assignment shall be effective until any such assignee shall expressly assume in writing all of the assignor’s obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Licensor (or its then primary theatrical distribution arm, provided, that in such case its primary production arm is also merged or consolidated in the same transaction) or STE is merged or consolidated with and into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, Licensor or STE, as applicable, may and shall assign this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement and its rights hereunder to such entity and cause such entity to assume its obligations hereunder, provided that with respect to any assignment to an entity other than a Licensor Affiliate, any provision of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement relating to Licensor Affiliates shall be of no further force or effect, and that any agreements with a Licensor Affiliate entered into pursuant to this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement shall be terminated as of the effective date of such assignment. In addition, Licensor may assign mortgage or hypothecate its rights to receive all or portion of the License Fee and other payments due from STE hereunder, provided, that (i) a copy of such assignment, mortgage or hypothecation is delivered to STE, (ii) STE shall not be obligated to make payments or disbursements to more than one entity, (iii) such assignment, mortgage or hypothecation is duly acknowledged by an authorized officer of Licensor; further, provided, that the applicable assignee, mortgagee or hypothecee provides STE with a non-disturbance letter which is reasonably acceptable to STE, STE agrees to make the License Fee (and, as and if applicable, other) payments to such assignee, mortgagee or hypothecee without offset, deduction, counter-claim or other credits which STE may have or claim to have against any SPE Group Member except for any offset, deduction, counter-claim or other credits which may arise under the terms of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement. Any assignment of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement by either party shall not affect or otherwise discharge such party’s obligations hereunder to the other party, and the assigning party agrees to provide its written acknowledgement thereof in connection with any such assignment. Any purported assignment or transfer by either party of any of its rights or obligations under this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement other than in accordance with the provisions of this Section 30 shall be void.

29. Press Release .INTENTIONALLY BLANK Licensor and STE shall mutually agree as to the form, content and release date of any press release

related to this Amended & Restated Amendment; provided, that, the parties agree to issue a press release announcing this Amended & Restated Amendment within the sooner to occur of: (i) a reasonable period of time after the later of full execution hereof by both parties or the Effective Date, and (ii) within any applicable time frame proscribed by applicable law or regulation. Further, Licensor agrees that it will consult with STE, to the extent reasonably practicable, prior to issuing a press release concerning its exercise of the SPA Withdrawal Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may SPE issue any press release concerning its exercise of the SPA Withdrawal Option to the extent that STE is referenced in such press release without first obtaining STE’s prior consent thereto; provided that no such consent shall be required to the extent that such disclosure is required by applicable law, rule or regulation of a governmental authority or securities exchange or by order of a governmental authority, court or securities exchange. If STE does not notify Licensor that it does not consent to such reference within three business days of Licensor’s request for such consent, STE shall be deemed to have consented to such reference.

30. Counterparts . This Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when duly signed shall constitute an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

31. Severability . If any provision of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement, but this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. If, moreover, any restriction or provision of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement is, for any reason, held to be too broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing such provision or restriction so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable law, although Licensor and STE hereby agree that said restrictions and other provisions of this Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement are fair and reasonable as of the Effective Date. In any such event, Licensor and STE shall endeavor in good faith to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. By way of clarification, a provision shall not be considered “illegal”, “unenforceable” or “invalid” for purposes of (or for purposes of giving rise to the application of) this Section 33 if such provision is held to be “illegal”, “unenforceable” or “invalid” against a party hereto by reason of such party’s bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination or cessation of existence or otherwise by reason of something that is personal to such party ( i.e., such provision is held to be “illegal”, “unenforceable” or “invalid” based upon circumstances that are applicable only to such party).

34. Effect of Amended & Restated Amendment. All rights, remedies and obligations of the parties pursuant to the 2009 License Agreement arising from

any actions or omissions prior to the Effective Date shall continue in full force and effect for the greatest period of time permitted by applicable laws.

II. OPEN INTERNET LICENSE FEE(S)

In addition to the amounts set forth in Paragraph I above and Paragraph III below, beginning with the month of January 2013 and for each month through and including the month in which occurs the scheduled end of the last expiring License Period under this Amended & Restated Amendment , STE shall pay to Licensor an amount equal to $0.225 for each Fee Generating Open Internet Subscriber (collectively, the “Open Internet License Fees”). The aggregate number of Fee Generating Open Internet Subscribers who subscribed to or were authorized to access the STE Service shall be calculated as the average number of such Subscribers over the applicable measuring month (determined by adding the number of Open Internet Subscribers on the first day of the month to the number of Open Internet Subscribers on the last day of the month, and dividing the sum by 2); provided, that each Pay-Per-Stay Room authorized to receive an Open Internet Service at any time during a month pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of this Amended and Restated Amendment shall constitute a separate Open Internet Subscriber with respect to such month and shall be considered a Fee Generating Open Internet Subscriber for such month, even if no guest in such Pay-Per-Stay Room elected to view such service during such month. The Open Internet License Fee due to Licensor, if any, with respect to any particular month shall be paid to Licensor (along with the Certified Subscriber Report for such month required pursuant to Section 28(f) of the Amended & Restated Amendment) no later than sixty (60) days following the end of such month. For purposes hereof, the “Fee Generating Open Internet Subscribers” means the average number of Open Internet Subscribers that subscribe to any STE Service via the Open Internet (e.g., Starz Play) in a given month, whether directly from STE or from an Open Internet Service distributing the applicable STE Service, but only to the extent that the average number of such Open Internet Subscribers for such month, when added to the average number of all of the subscribers to any STE Pay Television Service that constitutes a Starz Channel (each, a “Starz Linear Subscriber”) in the

Page 107: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

aggregate exceeds the greater of (x) twenty-five million (25,000,000) and (y) the average number of Starz Linear Subscribers for such month. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any provisions hereof to the contrary, a Starz Linear Subscriber that is authorized to receive a package of STE Pay Television Services that constitute Starz Channels (such as the Starz Movie Pack) by subscribing to the primary premium channel of such Starz Channel (as of the Effective Date, ‘Starz’) in a given month shall count as a single such Starz Linear Subscriber for purposes of calculating the average number of such Starz Linear Subscribers for such month. By way of example, if the average number of Open Internet Subscribers for a month is three million (3,000,000) and the average number of Starz Linear Subscribers in that same month is twenty-three million (23,000,000), the Open Internet License Fees for such month would be $225,000 ($.225 x 1,000,000). By way of further example, if the average number of Open Internet Subscribers for a month is four million (4,000,000) and average number of Starz Linear Subscribers in that same month is twenty-seven million (27,000,000), the Open Internet License Fees for such month would be $900,000 ($.225 x 4,000,000). By way of clarity, for purposes of this Paragraph II: (a) only subscribers to that primary premium channel of a STE Pay Television Service that constitutes a Starz Channel (as distinguished, for example, from non-primary premium channels of STE Pay Television Services (e.g., Starz Comedy) and that primary premium channel of STE Pay Television Service known as “Encore” as long as such channel does not constitute a Starz Channel) will be included in the calculation of Starz Linear Subscribers; whereas (b) Open Internet Subscribers to each unique STE Service (whether a Starz Channel, an Encore Channel or any other permitted channel/service, and whether an STE Pay Television Service or an STE SOD Service) will be included in the calculation of Open Internet Subscribers above. Fee Generating Open Internet Subscriber numbers do not take into consideration the number of Open Internet Subscribers who actually use the applicable Open Internet Service. A consumer that subscribes to more than one unique (as opposed to packaged or bundled) STE Service via an Open Internet Service shall be counted as an Open Internet Subscriber to each such unique STE Service (e.g., if a subscriber subscribes to two unique STE Services via an Open Internet Service, then such subscriber shall be counted as two Open Internet Subscribers for any applicable measuring date). As provided in Section 2(d)(v) of this Amended & Restated Amendment, any consumer that is an Open Internet Subscriber as a result of subscribing to any Open Internet Service via a Licensor Affiliate shall not be counted as an Open Internet Subscriber for purposes of determining the Open Internet License Fees. For clarity, the Open Internet License Fee is a “per subscriber per month” fee, and not a “per picture” fee.

discretion) made from a first generation color reversal intermediate or first generation internegative.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if technology is used by Licensor to “film” a motion picture, which technology does not use 35mm film (e.g., digital cameras), then the component digital master preferred by STE shall be made from the highest quality digital source available.

(D) Each Master shall include audio in perfect synchronization from a 5.1 digital audio master (or level copy) or a Lt-Rt (2 track Dolby Surround Matrix Encoded) digital audio master (or level copy), providing the sound for such picture was produced in 5.1; or solely a Lt-Rt digital audio master (or level copy) providing sound for such picture was produced only in Lt-Rt; or solely a standard stereo digital audio master (or level copy) if the sound for such picture was produced only as standard stereo; or solely a monaural audio master (or level copy), with the mono signal present on two tracks in perfect phase if the sound for such picture was produced only as monaural. With respect to any Licensed Picture originally produced in a foreign language or for which Licensor has available only a foreign language version, Licensor shall deliver to the Laboratory a Master or mezzanine file meeting the requirements and specifications of this Exhibit B, either dubbed into the English language or subtitled in English, provided that if Licensor has both a dubbed and subtitled version of such Licensed Picture, STE shall have the right to access both versions. With respect to any Licensed Picture that contains text or voice-over, Licensor shall also provide, if requested by STE, textless background material and audio material free of voice-overs, if available.

(E) The main and end titles, subtitles and title inserts for such Licensed Picture shall be in the English language and within the television safe area so that all lettering shall fully appear on the television screen.

CONTENT PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS AND OBLIGATIONS

This Exhibit C is attached to and a part of that certain Amended & Restated Agreement entered into as of JanuaryDecember 1, 2013 (the “Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement”), between Starz Entertainment, LLC and Sony Pictures EntertainmentTelevision Inc. All defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement.

1. Content Protection System. All digital content delivered, transferred or transmitted via the Internet or New Media to, output from or stored on a Storage Device must be protected by a content protection system that includes digital rights management, conditional access systems and digital output protection (such system, the “Content Protection System”). The Content Protection System shall (i) be fully compliant with all the compliance and robustness rules associated therewith, and (ii) use only those rights settings, if applicable, that are consistent with and enforce the content usage model described in Schedule U (the “Content Usage Model”) attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

2. Pre-Approved DRM.

2.1. The following DRM are approved by Licensor for streaming or downloading of digital content delivered in strict accordance with the rights granted to STE in the Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement and the Content Usage Model: Microsoft Windows Media DRM v 9 or greater, Microsoft Windows Media PlayReady DRM, Sony Marlin Broadband, Adobe Flash Media Rights Management FMRMS.1.5 implementing AIR DRM, Adobe Flash Access 2.0 (a/k/a Adobe Access) (but not Adobe RTMP-E), WideVine Cypher, Verimatrix PRM, Secure Media Encryptonyte, NDS VideoGuard, CMLA Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) DRM version 2 or 2.1, HLS+AES128 (for Standard Definition only), Microsoft Silverlight implementation of Windows Media DRM and PlayReady DRM, and any of the content protection systems approved for UltraViolet services by the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE) (collectively, the “Pre-Approved DRM”), and any future versions thereof, provided such future versions do not (i) materially denigrate or restrict the protections afforded in the current versions thereof; or ( ii) alter the Content Usage Model, and only for so long as such DRM continue to implement the content protection requirements set forth in this Exhibit C (to the extent such requirements are implemented at the DRM level). Nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict STE from distributing the STE Services via the Apple iTunes ecosystem employing the Apple Fairplay DRM, provided that such distribution otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Exhibit C and Schedule U.

2.2. Upon written request of STE and subject to agreement upon terms as described in the subsequent sentence, STE shall be permitted to use any additional DRM that Licensor may approve in writing at any time during the Term for distribution of programs on an SOD basis (provided that if Licensor approves a DRM for distribution of programs on a VOD basis by another licensee and determines in its discretion that such DRM can also robustly support distribution on an SOD basis in a manner consistent with the Content Usage Rules, Licensor shall approve such DRM for use by STE in accordance with this Exhibit C). Upon written request of STE, Licensor agrees to negotiate in good faith the terms under which such additional DRM may be approved.

2.3. Without limiting any of STE’s obligations to implement the content protection requirements and obligations set forth in this Exhibit C, Licensor acknowledges that the current versions of the Pre-Approved DRM that have been commercially released by their respective publishers as of the Effective Date handle the implementation of the content

C - 1Amended and Restated Amendment to Pay Television License Agreement (EXECUTION VERSION Feb-8-2013)

Page 114: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

protection requirements set forth in the following sections of this Exhibit C: 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9, and are permitted for use under the terms of the Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement. STE and STE’s licensee’s sole responsibility with respect to the aforementioned provisions is to assure that such party employs a form of DRM that affords the protections requested in these provisions (and configures the DRM -- if the applicable DRM allows for different configurations or settings -- in a manner intended to afford such protections).

3. Content Protection System Requirements. With respect to the implementation of Content Protection Systems, the following additional requirements and settings shall also apply to all implementations:

3.1. Encryption.

3.1.1. The Content Protection System shall use cryptographic algorithms for encryption, decryption, signatures, hashing, random number generation, and key generation and the content delivery mechanism shall be nonproprietary, utilize time-tested cryptographic protocols and algorithms, and offer effective security equivalent to or better than AES 128. New keys must be generated each time content is encrypted. A single key shall not be used to encrypt more than one piece of content or more data than is considered cryptographically secure. Keys, passwords, and any other information that are critical to the cryptographic strength of the Content Protection System may never be transmitted or stored in unencrypted form. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the pairing of a “seed” key and a “private” key for a unique key ID complies with the terms of this provision.

3.1.2. Decryption of (i) content protected by the Content Protection System and (ii) CSPs (as defined in Section 3.2.1 below) related to the Content Protection System shall take place in a secure processing environment.

3.1.3. The Content Protection System shall encrypt the entirety of the A/V content, including, without limitation, all video sequences, audio tracks, sub pictures, menus, subtitles, and video angles. Each video frame must be completely encrypted.

3.1.4. All content shall be transmitted and stored in a secure encrypted form. Content shall never be transmitted to or between devices in unencrypted form.

3.2. Key Management.

3.2.1. The Content Protection System must protect all critical security parameters (“CSPs”). CSPs shall include, without limitation, all keys, passwords, and other information which are required to maintain the security and integrity of the Content Protection System.

3.2.2. CSPs shall never be transmitted in the clear, transmitted to unauthenticated recipients, or stored unencrypted in memory.

3.3. Integrity.

3.3.1. The Content Protection System shall maintain the integrity of all protected content. The Content Protection System shall detect any tampering with or modifications to the protected content from its originally encrypted form.

3.3.2. With respect to devices that are capable of receiving downloaded content, each installation of the Content Protection System on an end user device shall be

C - 2Amended and Restated Amendment to Pay Television License Agreement (EXECUTION VERSION Feb-8-2013)

Page 115: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

individualized and thus uniquely identifiable. For example, if the Content Protection System (i.e., client software) is copied or transferred from one device to another device, it will not work on such other device without being uniquely individualized.

3.4. Secure Clock. The Content Protection System shall implement a secure clock. The secure clock must be protected against modification or tampering and detect any changes made thereto. If any changes or tampering are detected, the Content Protection System must revoke the licenses associated with all content employing time limited license or viewing periods.

3.5. Licenses.

3.5.1. A valid license, containing the unique cryptographic key/keys, other necessary decryption information, and the set of usage rules, shall be required in order to decrypt and play each piece of content.

3.5.2. Each license shall bound to either a (i) specific individual end user device or (ii) domain of registered end user devices.

3.5.3. Licenses bound to individual end user devices shall be incapable of being transferred between such devices; except where a digital file is transferred from one device to an intended device where it will be actually exhibited (e.g., a version intended for playback on a portable device may be delivered to a personal computer and thereafter transferred to a portable device if such portable version is not authenticated or viewable until it is moved from the personal computer to the portable device) (“Side Loading”).

3.5.4. Licensor agrees to discuss with STE in good faith an expansion of the Content Usage Model to include local copying or movement of content within a domain of registered end user devices, with any such expansion subject to Licensor’s prior written approval.

3.5.5. If a license is deleted, removed, or transferred from a registered end user device, it must not be possible to recover or restore such license except from an authorized source.

3.6. The Content Protection System implementations deployed by STE and its licensees shall not import or protect content from untrusted sources.

3.7. Protection Against Hacking.

3.7.1. Playback licenses, revocation certificates, and security-critical data shall be cryptographically protected against tampering, forging, and spoofing.

3.7.2. The Content Protection System shall employ industry accepted tamper-resistant technology on hardware and software components (e.g., technology to prevent such hacks as a clock rollback, spoofing, use of common debugging tools, and intercepting unencrypted content in memory buffers). Examples of techniques included in tamper-resistant technology are:

3.7.2.1. Code and data obfuscation: The executable binary dynamically encrypts and decrypts itself in memory so that the algorithm is not unnecessarily exposed to disassembly or reverse engineering.

3.7.2.2. Integrity detection: Using one-way cryptographic hashes of the executable code segments and/or self-referential integrity dependencies,

C - 3Amended and Restated Amendment to Pay Television License Agreement (EXECUTION VERSION Feb-8-2013)

Page 116: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

the trusted software fails to execute and deletes all CSPs if it is altered prior to or during runtime.

3.7.2.3. Anti-debugging: The decryption engine prevents the use of common debugging tools.

3.7.2.4. Red herring code: The security modules use extra software routines that mimic security modules but do not have access to CSPs.

3.7.3. The Content Protection System shall implement secure internal data channels to prevent rogue processes from intercepting data transmitted between system processes.

3.8. The Content Protection System shall prevent the use of media player filters or plug-ins that can be exploited to gain unauthorized access to content (e.g., access the decrypted but still encoded content by inserting a shim between the DRM and the player).

3.9. Revocation and Renewal.

3.9.1. The Content Protection System shall provide a mechanism that revokes, upon written notice from Licensor of its exercise of its right to require such revocation in the event any CSPs are compromised, any and all playback licenses issued to (i) specific individual end user device or (ii) domain of registered end user devices.

3.9.2. The Content Protection System shall be renewable and securely updateable in event of a breach of security or improvement to the Content Protection System.

3.9.3. The Content Protection System shall be upgradeable, allow for backward compatibility if desired and allow for integration of new rules and business models.

4. Content and License Delivery. With respect to devices that are capable of receiving downloaded content, content and licenses shall only be delivered from a network service to registered devices associated with an account. The remaining terms of this Section 4 shall apply to all devices. For accounts which allow user login the account must be protected with verified credentials. The credentials shall consist of at least a ”user id” and password of sufficient length to prevent brute force attacks or that meets standard industry practice. Access to account credentials shall allow access to active credit card or other financially sensitive information to prevent unwanted sharing of such credentials. Account credentials must be transmitted securely to ensure privacy and protection against attacks. The parties acknowledge and agree that the services delivering of the STE Services via the Internet as of the Effective Date comply with this requirement. The parties also acknowledge and agree that the billing, authentication and subscriber credentialing processes used by licensees of STE Services who are its usual and customary cable, satellite telephone company customers with respect to delivery of the STE Services on cable, satellite or IPTV platforms (to the extent such customers implement on Internet and New Media delivery the same billing, authentication and subscriber credentialing processes used for cable, satellite or telephone company subscribers), as well as those used by any customers of Licensor for its own VOD, SOD, PPV and Sell Through Electronic Video products and services via the Internet or New Media are deemed to comply with the terms of this provision.

5. Outputs.

5.1. INTENTIONALLY BLANK

C - 4Amended and Restated Amendment to Pay Television License Agreement (EXECUTION VERSION Feb-8-2013)

Page 117: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

5.2. The Content Protection System shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable CGMS-A content protection technology on all analog outputs from end user devices; provided that the application of CGMS-A will not negatively affect the functioning of STE or its licensee’s systems, or degrade the image quality of the Licensed Pictures. STE shall pay all royalties and other fees payable in connection with the implementation and/or activation of such content protection technology allocable to content provided pursuant to the Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement.

5.3 The Content Protection System shall prohibit digital output of decrypted protected content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a digital signal may be output if it is protected and encrypted by High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection (“HDCP”) or Digital Transmission Copy Protection (“DTCP”). For the avoidance of doubt, Licensed Pictures in High Definition resolution may only be displayed over HDMI with an HDCP connection enabled. Defined terms used but not otherwise defined in this Section 5.3 shall have the meanings given them in the DTCP or HDCP license agreements, as applicable.

5.3.1 A device that outputs decrypted protected content provided pursuant to the Amended & Restated Agreement using DTCP shall:

Deliver system renewability messages to the source function;

Map the copy control information associated with the program; the copy control information shall be set to “copy never” for EST, SVOD, VOD and PPV content and set to “copy once’ for PAY and FTA content in the corresponding encryption mode indicator and copy control information field of the descriptor (it being acknowledged that STE and STE’s licensees may Side Load a digital file, and that Side Loading is not a violation of this provision);

Map the analog protection system (“APS”) bits associated with the program to the APS field of the descriptor;

Set the image_constraint_token field of the descriptor as authorized by the corresponding license administrator;

Set the eligible non-conditional access delivery field of the descriptor as authorized by the corresponding license administrator;

Set the retention state field of the descriptor as authorized by the corresponding license administrator;

Deliver system renewability messages from time to time obtained from the corresponding license administrator in a protected manner; and

5.3.2 A device that outputs decrypted protected content provided pursuant to the Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement using HDCP shall:

If requested by Licensor, deliver a file associated with the protected content named “HDCP.SRM” and, if present, pass such file to the HDCP source function in the set-top box as a System Renewability Message; and

Verify that the HDCP Source Function is fully engaged and able to deliver the protected content in a protected form, which means:

HDCP encryption is operational on such output,

Processing of the System Renewability Message associated with the protected content, if any, has occurred as defined in the HDCP Specification, and

C - 5Amended and Restated Amendment to Pay Television License Agreement (EXECUTION VERSION Feb-8-2013)

Page 118: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

There is no HDCP Display Device or Repeater on such output whose Key Selection Vector is in such System Renewability Message.

Without limiting any of STE’s obligations to implement the content protection requirements and obligations set forth in this provision, Licensor acknowledges that the DTCP and HDCP handle the implementation of the content protection requirements set forth in this provision, and that the use of HDCP and DTCP are permitted for use under the terms of the Amended & Restated Agreement.

5.3.3 Exception for Standard Definition (only), Uncompressed Digital Outputs on Windows-based PCs, Macs running OS X or higher, iOS and Android devices. HDCP must be enabled on all uncompressed digital outputs (e.g., HDMI, Display Port), unless the consumer’s system cannot support HDCP (e.g., the content would not be viewable on such customer’s system if HDCP were to be applied). In such an event, STE be entitled to output such content using a constrained image.

5.4 The Content Protection System shall prohibit recording of protected content onto recordable or removable media.

5.5 Watermarking Requirements.

The Content Protection System or playback device must not remove or interfere with any embedded watermarks in protected content; provided, however, that if such embedded watermarks are altered, modified or degraded resulting from STE’s distribution of protected content in the ordinary course of its operations, such alteration, modification, or degradation shall not be a breach of this provision. Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any embedded information will not negatively affect picture or sound quality and will not disrupt or damage equipment or systems used in the ordinary preparation and distribution of content by STE.

STE’s delivery systems shall “pass through” any embedded copy control information without alteration, modification or degradation in any manner; provided, however, that nominal alteration, modification or degradation of such copy control information during the ordinary course of STE’s distribution of protected content shall not be a breach of this Section 5.5.

6. Geofiltering.

6.1. The Content Protection System shall take affirmative, reasonable measures to restrict access to Licensor’s content to within the territory in which the content has been licensed.

6.2. Licensee shall periodically review the geofiltering tactics and perform upgrades to the Content Protection System to maintain “industry standard” geofiltering capabilities.

7.0 Network Service Protection Requirements.

Other than Licensed Pictures delivered to, and stored by STE in facilities under its control (all of which are delivered by Licensor in an unencrypted format, and securely stored in STE’s facilities in an unencrypted format), all Licensed Pictures must be received and stored at content processing and storage facilities of a distributor in an encrypted or otherwise protected format using an approved protection system, it being understood that such distributor is permitted to decrypt the Licensed Pictures, where applicable, in order to transcode or otherwise process the Licensed Pictures within the distributor’s facilities. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensed Pictures distributed to subscribers must be encrypted in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Schedule C.

Documented security policies and procedures shall be in place. Documentation of policy enforcement and compliance shall be continuously maintained.

C - 6Amended and Restated Amendment to Pay Television License Agreement (EXECUTION VERSION Feb-8-2013)

Page 119: wikileaks.org · Web viewAMENDMENT TO PAY TELEVISION LICENSE AGREEMENT between STARZ ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, (formerly known as STARZ ENCORE MEDIA GROUP, LLC) and SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

Access to content in unprotected format must be limited to authorized personnel and auditable records of actual access shall be maintained.

Physical access to servers must be limited and controlled and must be monitored by a logging system. Auditable records of access, copying, movement, transmission, backups, or modification of content must be securely stored for a period of at least one (1) year.

Content servers must be protected from general Internet traffic by “state of the art” protection systems including, without limitation, firewalls, virtual private networks, and intrusion detection systems. All systems must be updated to incorporate the latest security patches and upgrades.

All facilities within STE’s control which process and store content must be available for Motion Licensed Picture Association of America and Licensor audits upon the request of Licensor. STE shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the facilities of its licensees distributing the STE Services available for similar audits.

Security details of the network services, servers, policies, and facilities shall be provided to and must be explicitly approved in writing by Licensor. Any changes to the security policies, procedures, or infrastructure must be submitted to Licensor for approval.

Content must be returned to Licensor or securely destroyed pursuant to the Amended & Restated AmendmentAgreement at the end of such content’s license period including, without limitation, all electronic and physical copies thereof.

The parties acknowledge and agree that STE’s delivery of the STE Services via the Internet as of the Effective Date comply with this requirement. The parties also acknowledge and agree that the facilities and processes of licensees of STE Services over the Internet or New Media who are its usual and customary cable, satellite telephone company licensees (where such licensees use the same infrastructure that is already in place to deliver STE Services via cable, satellite or IPTV, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, new or different infrastructure for delivery of the STE Services over Internet or New Media), as well as any customers of Licensor for its own VOD, SOD, PPV, Sell Through Electronic Video products and services via the Internet or New Media, are deemed to comply with the terms of this Section 7 (it being understood that STE shall pass through the requirements in this Section 7 in all new agreements with licensees with respect to delivery of the STE Services over the Internet or New Media that are entered into after the Effective Date).

8.0 PVR Requirements. STE shall not authorize STE’s licensees delivering the STE services, nor any subscriber or end user of the STE Services to install or implement personal video recorder software or hardware that allows recording, copying, or playback of any protected content except as explicitly specified in the Content Usage Rules.

9.0 MFN. If, with respect to delivery of theatrical feature films on an SOD basis over the Internet or New Media in the Territory, Licensor agrees with another licensee to content protection requirements and obligations more favorable to such licensee than those set forth in this Exhibit C, or permits its own SOD service to have content protection requirements and obligations more favorable than those set forth in this Exhibit C, Licensor shall promptly notify STE, and STE shall have the benefit of such same terms and conditions subject to STE’s agreement to comply with all terms and conditions agreed to by such other licensee.

10.0 High Definition; Standard Definition. For purposes of this Exhibit C, “High Definition” shall mean any video resolution between 720p and 1080p (but in no event may the STE Services distribute programming in a resolution greater than 1080p except as set forth in and subject to section 11 below), and “Standard Definition” shall mean any resolution lower than 720p.

11.0 Ultra HD; 4K, etc. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the exhibition of
