WHEREAS, five of the Contracts listed on Annex 1.1(c)(i)(B) (incorporated into Schedule 1.1(c)(i)(B) of the Purchase Agreement by reference) were included in error and should not be included in the Transferred Customer Contracts;
WHEREAS, certain other Contracts listed on Annex 1.1(c)(i)(B) were also listed or referenced in Schedule 1.2 of the Purchase Agreement, which sets forth the Excluded Assets; and
WHEREAS, Item 11 in Schedule 1.2 (Excluded Assets) contains a clerical error and refers to “Key Customers,” an undefined term, instead of the defined term “Key Business

NED-15-06568 | Stichting KijkOnderzoek (SKO) - Netherlands |

For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the list of Contracts set forth on Schedule 1 to this Waiver may not be an exhaustive list of all Contracts listed on Annex 1.1(c)(i)(B) to the Purchase Agreement that constitute Excluded Assets, and that neither this provision nor Annex 1 hereto shall be deemed to modify or limit the definition of “Excluded Assets” under the Purchase Agreement or the effect of Section 1.2 and Schedule 1.2 of the Purchase Agreement, or to preclude any other Contract listed on Annex 1.1(c)(i)(B) to the Purchase Agreement from constituting an Excluded Asset.
Additionally, each party to the Purchase Agreement agrees that Item 11 in Schedule 1.2 is hereby amended to replace the term “Key Customers” with the term “Key Business Customers.”
This Waiver may be signed in counterparts and may be signed by facsimile signature, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.
