(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.2), PVI hereby grants to Cablevision and its Licensed Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use, make, have made, modify, and create derivative works of the iPoint(TM) Technology, including without limitation, the Software, Equipment, Documentation and General Improvements used in connection with a Licensed Telecast using or featuring the iPoint(TM) Technology solely for purposes of use with end user customers of a Licensee that is a System Operator. Licensees shall use the iPoint(TM) Technology exclusively for their own use or for the use of other Licensees.


(b) PVI grants to Cablevision and its Licensed Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use PVI's L-VIS(R) System solely to the extent that the L-VIS(R) System is used in connection with acts permitted under the license grant of this Section 2.1. PVI hereby also grants to Cablevision and its Affiliates, on the same non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, royalty-free basis, the right to sublicense the L-VIS(R) System solely for the purpose of enabling the content of a third party Network or Content Provider for use in connection with the iPoint(TM) Technology and for distribution by Cablevision or its Affiliates as a System Operator in accordance with the iPoint(TM) Technology license granted in this Section 2.1. In addition, at Cablevision's request, PVI agrees to convey to such third party


- 3 - Networks or Content Providers a non-exclusive license on commercially reasonable terms acceptable to PVI, to the L-VIS(R) System for such other purposes as the content rights holder reasonably requests, provided such requested license does not conflict with rights previously granted by PVI and its Affiliates to Third Parties.


(c) (i) PVI hereby grants to Cablevision and its Licensed Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, royalty-free license to disclose and provide in confidence the iPoint(TM) Technology to Third Parties to the extent the iPoint Technology will be used by such Third Parties solely on behalf of Cablevision and its Affiliates in connection with acts permitted under the license granted in this Section 2.1 on behalf of Cablevision or it Licensees. In addition, at Cablevision's request, PVI agrees to convey to such Third Parties a non-exclusive license on commercially reasonable terms acceptable to PVI, to the iPoint(TM) Technology for such other purposes as the Third Parties reasonably request, provided such requested license does not conflict with rights previously granted by PVI and its Affiliates to Third Parties. (ii) PVI hereby grants to Cablevision and its Licensed Affiliates, to the extent such Licensees are a Network or Content Provider, a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, royalty-free license to enable content owned or controlled by Cablevision and/or its Affiliates for use in connection with the iPoint(TM) Technology and for distribution by a third party System Operator (to the extent the third party System Operator is independently licensed to use the iPoint(TM) Technology). Consistent with this grant, PVI shall not charge any System Operator a higher royalty or other fee for iPoint(TM) Technology based on the fact that Cablevision or its Licensed Affiliate is the Content Provider or Network being distributed over such third party System Operator's system than it charges for such iPoint(TM) functionality with respect to any other Content Provider or Network distributed over such system. Also consistent with this grant, if PVI charges any System Operator different royalties for iPoint(TM) Technology based upon whether or not the Content Provider or Network is also paying PVI a royalty, Cablevision and its Licensed Affiliates shall be treated as if they have paid a royalty.
