`
`
`
`
`for voice control of Comcast Products, which utilizes AgileTV Technology (including any
`
`
`
`
`
`Updates thereto and New Features based thereon created on or before the Project
`
`
`
`Date) and is integrated with one or more Platforms as designated by Comcast
`Commencement

`
`
`
`Comcast in collaboration with Agile TV, as set forth in the Statement of Work, is referred to

`
`
`
`

`other projects involving the Architecture (whether utilizing AgileTV Technology or not, whether

`
`
`by itself or with the involvement of one or more third parties other than AgileTV, and whether

`
`of Work. Accordingly, if the Parties do not agree in writing upon a Statement of Work, there
`
`
`
`
`
`any rights or obligations relating shall be no "Project," and neither Party shall have
`to the Project
`
`
`
`
`
`under this Agreement, provided that such failure to agree upon a Statement of Work shall not
`
`
`
`affect either Party's other rights and obligations under this Agreement.

`
`
`
`
`and functionality required for the Architecture, all of which shall be subject to the
`features

`SECTION 9. MOST FAVORED NATION.
`
`any other provision in any other agreement(a)MFN Covenant. Notwithstanding
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`entered into between AgileTV (or any of its Affiliates) and Comcast (or any of its Affiliates),
`
`
`
`
`Comcast is hereby accorded the right to receive "most favored customer" terms and conditions
`
`
`
`
`
`from AgileTV and its Affiliates, meaning that Comcast shall be entitled to such rights,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`forbearances and other provisions (each, a "Provision"), whether relating to financial matters
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(such as fees, revenue splits, rates, discounts, credits, commissions, rebates, marketing support or
`
`
`
`
`
`
`adjustments) or non-financial matters (such as license rights, covenants not to sue, development
`
`
`
`
`
`work, service quality, audit rights, representations, warranties, indemnities or most favored
`
`
`
`
`customer terms), with respect to any of the Provisions of this Agreement, that are no less
`
`
`
`
`favorable than each of those Provisions offered by AgileTV or any of its Affiliates to any other
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Person, individually or collectively, at any time and from time to time, without regard to size
`
`
`
`
`(through volume discounts or otherwise) or identity of such other Person or their relationship
`
`
`
`
`
`of to have the benefit with Agile TV or any of its Affiliates, provided that, in order for Comcast
`
`
`
`that any such more favorable Provision, Comcast must also accept each other term and condition
`
`
`
`bears a direct and tangible relationship to such more favorable Provision and with which
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Comcast is reasonably capable of complying. For the purpose of determining whether any
`
`
`
`particular Provision is more favorable, such determination shall focus on such Provision
`
`
`
`
`individually for each moment of time during which such Provision is effective, and on the
`
`
`
`
`relationship such individual Provision has with the other terms and conditions that bear a direct
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and tangible relationship to such Provision, rather than on the agreement, understanding or
`
`arrangement as a whole.
`
`(b)MFN Notice. If Agile TV or any of its Affiliates agrees to provide, or acquiesces
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`to, any Provision which is more favorable to any other Person than that set forth in this
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Agreement, AgileTV shall immediately give written notice thereof to Comcast (which notice
`
`
`
`
`
`shall include the actual language of such Provision and all other terms and conditions that
`
`
`
`
`
`
`believes to bear a direct and tangible relationship to such Provision as provided to such
`AgileTV
`
`
`
`
`
`other Person, and not a merely summary or interpretation thereof, provided that such actual
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`language may be redacted to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of the
`
`
`
`
`
`identity of the other Person receiving such Provision) (an "MFN Notice") and, at Comcast's
`
`
`
`
`election, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified so that, from the date on which
`
`
`
`
`
`such more favorable Provision is first so provided to such other Person and thereafter for so long
`
`
`
`
`
`
`as such more favorable Provision continues to be so provided, Comcast shall receive such more
`
`
`
`
`
`Provision, subject to Comcast being bound by each other term and condition that bears
`favorable
`
`
`
`
`
`
`a direct and tangible relationship to such more favorable Provision and with which Comcast is
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`reasonably capable of complying. AgileTV's failure to deliver an MFN Notice in accordance
`
`
`
`
`with the terms hereof shall not limit or otherwise affect Comcast's right to enjoy the benefits of
`this provision.
`
`(c)MFN Audit Rights. AgileTV shall maintain accurate and complete books and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices and
`
`
