The parties shall implement a mutually beneficial weighting system and use the software optimization technology of statistical multiplexing (“Stat Mux”) or a successor technology mutually agreed upon by the parties. Each party shall designate one program stream with the highest priority within its allocated capacity, with each such program stream afforded an equivalent level of high priority.
