The total development costs for all of the Expedited PCRs is ^[*] . It is expressly understood and agreed that amounts payable to TiVo as set forth in each of the Expedited PCRs shall be deducted entirely from Development Credits pursuant to Section 3.14 of the Development Agreement upon TiVo’s delivery of software implementing such Expedited PCR or [*], whichever is earlier. The Parties acknowledge and agree that TiVo may combine software that implements the Expedited PCRs, and, accordingly, TiVo will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the agreed changes for (a) Expedited PCR numbers 82 and 84 by submitting software implementing such Expedited PCRs to DIRECTV for testing by [*], and (b) Expedited PCR numbers 83 and 85 by submitting software implementing such Expedited PCRs

The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the software implementing each Expedited PCR is made available to substantially all Combination Receivers able to receive such software via satellite or other method agreed to by the parties (except as otherwise provided in any of the Expedited PCRs) as soon as practicable after delivery of final software implementing such Expedited PCR. TiVo will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the software implementing each Expedited PCR is activated on each such Combination Receiver as soon as practicable thereafter provided that such Combination Receiver makes a service connection via phone line or other method agreed to by the parties.

“4.13 Marketing of New Features; PR. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, DIRECTV will promote the availability of any and all new features and enhancements that are to be developed pursuant to mutually agreed Project Change Requests under Section 2.3(f) after the Eighth Amendment Effective Date.

Between [*] and [*], DIRECTV and TiVo will discuss and negotiate in good faith a proposed definitive agreement related to the development and distribution of [*] the TiVo Service [*] (“Phase II Solution”). Such proposed definitive agreement shall include, but will not be limited to, [*]. Nothing in this Section 4.14 will be deemed an agreement to execute such a definitive agreement or to otherwise develop or distribute the Phase II Solution. Each party shall be solely liable for all of its own fees, costs and other expenses in conjunction with such discussions and negotiations. For the sake of clarity, all obligations under this Section 4.14 will expire if the parties have not executed a definitive agreement related to a Phase II Solution by 5:00 pm California local time on ^[*].”
