order to assist the reliable delivery and capture of content. Such
process shall be used in connection with the management of the TiVo
Hard Disk Allocation and Program Placement Allocation as described
in this Section 2.3(c).
(d) Satellite Broadcast
Time. DIRECTV shall
allocate to TiVo [*] of simultaneous, system-wide broadcast

notice of any changes in such schedule.
(e) Showcase Grid

for each additional cell required. If TiVo requires more than
[*] cells above the fold and DIRECTV has occupied [*]
cells [*] and additional cells [*] , TiVo shall use
[*] cells following (adjacent to) the cells used by DIRECTV
[*] . If DIRECTV is using less than [*] cells
[*] , TiVo’s cells will move up such that TiVo’s
cells will start immediately [*] DIRECTV’s last used
cell. If TiVo is using less than [*] cells [*] and
DIRECTV requires more than [*] cells [*] , DIRECTV
shall use [*] cells in the [*] row, provided,
however, that TiVo’s used cells are all [*] . For
purposes of this Section 2.3(e), the “ [*]

together to determine the applicability of the foregoing Showcase
grid allocation for purposes of the DIRECTV TE Receiver and to the
extent the foregoing Showcase grid allocation is inapplicable, the
parties will [*] inventory allocation [*] in a manner
that permits the parties to share inventory [*] with the
foregoing.
(f) Central Promotions; Other
TiVoVision Inventory. Due
to the limited number of times end users of Combination Receivers
may [*] and to permit effective promotion of Showcases from
the main menu, the parties agree to limit the number of Central
Promotions to [*] , unless otherwise agreed. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each party may
distribute no more than [*] Central Promotions [*] to
any given group of Combination Receivers, unless otherwise agreed.
If the [*] for other TiVoVision is constrained or limited at
any particular time, the parties will allocate the available
inventory [*] that permits the parties to share such
inventory ( e.g. , by rotating inventory, allocating
particular time periods, etc.) on [*] basis, consistent with

distribution [*] . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the foregoing, any Showcase to be distributed to the Stand Alone
Receivers pursuant to this Section 2.3(g) may be rejected by
TiVo pursuant to TiVo’s editorial review rights described in
Section 6.3(b).
(h) No False or Misleading
Representations. TiVo
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to see that its employees
do not intentionally misrepresent TiVo’s rights to distribute
TiVoVision to the Combination Receivers under this Agreement (
e.g. , TiVo will use commercially reasonable efforts to see
that its employees do not represent that TiVo may distribute
Showcases to Combination Receivers that [*] ). DIRECTV shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to see that its employees do
not intentionally misrepresent DIRECTV’s rights under this
Agreement ( e.g. , DIRECTV will use commercially reasonable

Receivers).
(i) Revenue Share for Program
Placements. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.3(b)
to the contrary, during the Launch Period, TiVo will share revenue
resulting from Program Placements distributed to the Program
Placement Allocation of Combination Receivers as set forth on
Exhibit D hereto. TiVo will pay DIRECTV such amounts quarterly by
check or wire transfer with payment for a particular calendar
quarter due 45 days after such calendar quarter. TiVo will include
with such payment a report setting forth the Program Placements
that were distributed during the applicable calendar quarter to the
Program Placement Allocation and the Net Revenue (including a
detailed list of all duties, taxes, expenses and commissions that
were deducted from gross revenue to calculate Net Revenue, as
defined in Exhibit D) associated therewith. The obligations set
forth in this Section 2.3(i) will expire upon expiration of
the Launch Period, except for outstanding payment obligations as of
such date.
(j) Recordkeeping; Audit
Rights. TiVo shall
maintain books and records related to the revenue share set forth
in Section 2.3(i) for no less than [*] after the Launch
Period or such longer period as may be required by a timely noticed
audit as provided herein. During the Launch Period and for
[*] thereafter, DIRECTV shall have the right, at its cost,
to appoint an independent auditor, agreed to by TiVo (not to be
unreasonably withheld), on sixty (60) days’ advance
written notice to TiVo, to examine at TiVo’s premises
TiVo’s books and records that directly relate to the revenue
share set forth in Section 2.3(i). Such examination right may
be exercised once per twelve (12) months and once audited,
books, records and revenue share payments for a given time period
may not be subsequently reaudited. DIRECTV will ensure that such
independent auditor conducts such examination during TiVo’s
regular business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably
interfere with TiVo’s business activities. Such independent
auditor will determine TiVo’s compliance with such payment
obligations and report such determination in writing to each of
TiVo and DIRECTV. If any such examination reveals a discrepancy in
the amount actually paid to DIRECTV and the amount which should
have been paid to DIRECTV, then (i) in the event of an
overpayment by TiVo, DIRECTV shall promptly pay to TiVo the amount
by which DIRECTV was overpaid, and (ii) in the event of any
underpayment by TiVo, TiVo shall promptly pay to DIRECTV the amount
by which DIRECTV was underpaid, plus interest on the amount of such
underpayment at the rate of [*] or portion thereof (or, if
lower, the maximum rate permitted by law), from the date on which
such amount should have been paid to DIRECTV through the date on
which payment

DIRECTV. If any such examination reveals an underpayment in excess
of [*] of the amount which should have been paid to DIRECTV,
then TiVo will pay DIRECTV’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs
for the independent auditor provided that such costs do not exceed
the amount of the underpayment.
2.4 License

acknowledges and agrees that the Authoring Tools contain valuable
trade secrets of TiVo, and, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, DIRECTV shall not, and shall not provide permission to any
third party, to: (a) translate, reverse engineer, decompile,

interest in, or transfer possession of any Authoring Tools; or
(c) obfuscate, alter or remove any of TiVo’s copyright
or other proprietary rights notices or legends appearing on or in
the Authoring Tools.

limiting the rights granted to DIRECTV in Section 2.1 (License
Grant), TiVo has and shall retain exclusive ownership of all of its
right, title and interest in and to the Authoring Tools, and, other

event shall either party utilize i-Preview Tags or TiVoVision to
invoke a new feature or functionality in any Combination Receiver
unless and until such new feature or functionality (or any
modification thereto) has been approved by the parties for use in
such Combination Receiver in accordance with the Development
Agreement. For purposes of clarification, all features and
functionality available hereunder in the Legacy Combination
