Such allocation shall be referred to as the “TiVo Hard Disk Allocation” for each such DIRECTV DVR Receiver.

In addition to the TiVo Hard Disk Allocation, [*] (such period, the “Launch Period”), DIRECTV shall allocate in each DIRECTV DVR Receiver [*] in such DIRECTV DVR Receiver (assuming use of the best recording quality setting for such DIRECTV DVR Receiver) without regard to the standards or technology employed by or used in such DIRECTV DVR Receiver. Such additional allocation shall be referred to as the “Program Placement Allocation” for each such DIRECTV DVR Receiver.

Such examination right may be exercised once per twelve (12) months and once audited, books, records and revenue share payments for a given time period may not be subsequently reaudited. DIRECTV will ensure that such independent auditor conducts such examination during TiVo’s regular business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with TiVo’s business activities.
