will be effective in terminating such information within any such time frame
because of technology which may now exist or hereafter be devised.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties
acknowledge and agree that if and to the extent Stand Alone Systems can be

Satellite Systems, notwithstanding the grant of exclusive Rights in Section

to use such technology in connection with accessing Stand Alone Systems.
Pleasure acknowledges that an inadvertent breach by CSB of the restrictions
contained in the proviso of the first sentence of Section 2(h) shall not, in and
of itself, be cause to terminate or vitiate this entire Agreement.
2.03 Both Parties acknowledge and agree that except for Licensee's
exercise of the Rights during the Term and each applicable License Period hereof
in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, Licenser shall own all
right, title and interest in and to all Titles, Still Images, Versions and

Period for a particular Title it shall, at its sole cost and expense, destroy or
return (in Licensee's discretion) to Licensor all copies of Still Images and
Dubs in its or its sublicensee's possession, provided however with respect to
Dubs in lieu of destroying or returning such Dubs, Licensee may efface all Dubs
provided Licensee shall upon request of Licensor provide Licenser with (i) a
certificate executed by a third party or by an officer of Licensee confirming
that such effacing has occurred or (ii) any other commercially reasonable
evidence satisfactory to Licensor.
4. CONSIDERATION
4.01 The parties acknowledge and agree that they have each delivered
to the other fair and adequate consideration for this Agreement including,
without limitation, the execution and delivery of the Settlement Agreement dated
as of the date hereof to which this Agreement is attached as "Exhibit 6" and all
terms, provisions and consideration contained in said Settlement Agreement.
5. DELIVERY OF TITLES
5.01 Licenser shall have the following obligations at its own cost and
expense except where otherwise specified:
(a) Licensor shall be obligated to deliver to Licensee,
within ten (10) business days of Licensee's written
request, up to two hundred (200) screening VHS tapes
from those motion picture Titles listed in Exhibit "A"
("Screeners") as requested by Licensee for Licensee's
review. Licensee shall have a period of thirty (30)
days from Licensee's receipt of same within which to
select and/or identify which of such Titles it wishes
to make its own copies from the Dubs. For purposes
hereof "Edit Dubs" shall mean those Titles Licensee
has selected and/or identified as Titles of which it
wishes to make its own copies from Dubs. Licensee
shall then have the right to make the Edit Dubs itself
or select a third party facility to do so, and it is
presently contemplated that Licensee will request New
Age Conversions, a studio located in North Hollywood,
California ("New Age"), to make the Edit Dubs,
although Licensee shall not be obligated to do so.
Licenser agrees to deliver Dubs of Titles selected to
Licensee, New Age, or any other third party facility
chosen by Licensee within ten (10) business days of
Licensee's written instructions for the purpose of
making Edit Dubs. Once the Edit Dubs are made and
reviewed by Licensee, Licensee shall identify each
such Edit Dub as either a Broadcast on a Non-Broadcast
Title, in its discretion. Licensee shall then instruct
New Age (or any other applicable third party facility)
to duplicate each Non-Broadcast Title identified by
Licensee and to ship same directly to the offices of
Licensee located in Boulder, Colorado; and Licensee
shall also instruct New Age (or any other applicable
third party facility) to marshal and deliver each
Broadcast Title identified by Licensee directly to
Pegasus Post, a facility located in Chatsworth,
California ("Pegasus") or to any other third party
selected by Licensee. The foregoing process shall be
repeated every thirty (30) days until such time as
Licensee has selected all Titles it desires from
Exhibit "A" but in no event shall Licensee select
more than two thousand (2,000) motion pictures to
become Titles hereunder and in no event may Licensee
request more than two hundred (200) Screeners in any
thirty day period. Licensee shall endeavor to select
Titles in such a manner so it requests blocks of no
less than fifty (50) Titles at a time and that not
more than one hundred fifty (150) of Licensor's Dubs
are out of Licenser's possession during each of the
aforesaid thirty (30) day periods. Licenser shall not
be obligated to comply with such request for
additional Dubs if Licensee has not returned to
Licenser at least fifty (50) Dubs which were the
subject of any prier request; and Licensee shall pay
all costs and expenses of redelivering all Dubs to
Licensor and all costs of copying and duplicating
Dubs.
(b) Licensor's failure to meet its delivery obligations in
a timely manner (other than an inadvertent,
non-material failure) as set forth above shall be
deemed to be a
6
<PAGE>
breach of this Agreement unless Licenser cures such
failure within fourteen (14) business days following
the date which Licensee gives Licensor written notice
of such failure. Provided Licensor delivers all of the
Screeners and Dubs to Licensee in a timely manner in
compliance with the foregoing provisions (other than a
non-material, inadvertent failure), Licensee may not
select any Screeners from Exhibit "A" and accordingly
no additional motion pictures will become Titles after
the date which is fifteen (15) months following the
date hereof. Licensee agrees that in the event of an
inadvertent, non-material failure of Licenser to meet
its delivery obligations in Section 5.01(a) the
fifteen (15) month period described above shall be
extended for a period of time equal to the aggregate
period of time of all such delivery failures that
exceed five (5) business days after Licensor receives
notice of such failure.
(c) Licensor, upon the written request of Licensee, shall,
not later than fifteen (15) business days after
receipt of such written request, deliver to Licensee
(i) an 18 USC 2257 Statement Of Compliance for a
Title, executed by the Custodian of Records, (ii) a
talent release executed by each performer in a Title,
if and to the extent such talent release is available
and (iii) one (1) trailer in XXX and cable version for
each Title, if and to the extent available;
5.02 Upon loss, theft or destruction of any Dub provided by Licensor
while in the possession of Licensee, Licensee shall promptly advise the Licenser
of such loss, theft or destruction by affidavit setting forth the facts thereof
and will provide Licenser a replacement of such Dub at Licensee's sole cost, if
requested by Licenser. If at any time hereunder an Edit Dub or a Dub is lost,
stolen or destroyed, Licensor agrees to provide Licensee (or its authorized
representative) access to the Dub (or a new Dub), if available, at no cost in
order for Licensee to make a new Edit Dub, and the actual cost of making such
new Edit Dub shall be borne by Licensee. If Licenser delivers an original
edition of the source material of an individual Title (or Licensor's only copy
of an individual Title for which the source material is damaged or no longer
exists), Licenser shall assume the risk and take sole and full responsibility
for any loss, theft or destruction of same while in the possession or control of
Licensee or any facility utilized by Licensee.

AGREEMENT, ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED AND

6.05 Licenser acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the grant
of Rights hereunder Licensee has no obligation to Exhibit, promote, publicize,
market or otherwise exploit the Titles or Still Images. Accordingly, Licensor
will have no claim against Licensee based solely upon a failure of Licensee to

Images or any particular Title or Still Image.
