With respect to Licensee’s rights hereunder, neither the fact that a single program may be delivered so that it is coincidentally received by more than one viewer nor Licensee’s distribution or transmission of Included Programs utilizing approved “peer-to-peer” file sharing technology shall render such delivery to be other than “point-to-point” (“peer-to-peer” file sharing technology shall be deemed approved if the “peer-to-peer” network used for such purpose (x) is at all times a closed delivery system controlled by Licensee, and (y) does not import or protect content from untrusted sources). “Video-On-Demand” shall not include operating on a subscription basis (including, without limitation, so-called “subscription video-on-demand”) or a negative option basis (i.e., a fee arrangement whereby a consumer is charged alone, or in any combination, a service charge, a separate video-on-demand charge or other charge but is entitled to a reduction or series of reductions thereto on a program-by program basis if such consumer affirmatively elects not to receive or have available for reception such program), nor shall “Video-On-Demand” include, without limitation, pay-per-view, DHEso-called electronic sell through, Home Theater, manufacture-on-demand or retail location-based download on demand (e.g., download via in- store kiosks), home video, premium pay television, basic television or free broadcast television exhibition.

Video-On-Demand or “VOD” shall mean the point to point delivery of a single program to a viewer in response to the request of a viewer (i) for which the viewer pays a per- transaction fee solely for the privilege of viewing each separate exhibition of such program during its VOD Viewing Period (or multiple exhibitions, each commencing during its VOD Viewing Period), which fee is unaffected in any way by the purchase of other programs, products or services; and (ii) the exhibition start time of which is at a time specified by the viewer in its discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, a single Video-On-Demand exhibition that commences during a VOD Included Program’s VOD Viewing Period may play-off for the uninterrupted duration of such VOD Included Program. “Video-On-Demand” shall not include operating on a subscription basis (including, without limitation, so-called “subscription video-on-demand”), nor shall “Video-On-Demand” include pay-per-view, DHE, premium pay television, basic television or free broadcast television exhibition.
Video-On-Demand or “VOD” shall mean the transmission of a single motion picture transmitted via any form of Television where the start time is scheduled by the consumer and not the distributor, where the consumer can view the motion picture over a period of time not to exceed 72 hours and for which a transactional charge is made to the consumer for the privilege of viewing the particular motion picture on a per-exhibition basis, but not on a Negative Option Basis. In addition, special limited promotional offers (including two-for-one discounts, give-away coupons, free buys, extended viewing opportunities and the like) shall nevertheless constitute VOD; provided, that no such offer may be made available to any individual consumer for more than 60 days per year.

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 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.
