(b) Terms and Procedures. During the term of this Agreement, no Member (including any Permitted Transferee) shall Transfer any Member Shares, except in an Exempt Transfer.

(i) (A) From and after the Merger Effective Time, if any Member (including any Permitted Transferee) (as applicable, the "Transferor") receives a bona fide written offer from an offeror (a "Prospective Purchaser") that is not an Affiliate of the Transferor (a "Bona Fide Offer") to purchase all or any of the Member Shares held by the Transferor, other than pursuant to an Exempt Transfer (except an Exempt Transfer under clause (iv) of the definition thereof), and the Transferor desires to accept the Bona Fide Offer, then prior to the acceptance of the Bona Fide Offer by the Transferor, the Member (including any Permitted Transferee) will first offer (the "ROFR") to Holdings the right to purchase all but not less than all of the Member Shares that are the subject of the Bona Fide Offer (the "ROFR Shares") upon the terms specified herein and Holdings may exercise the ROFR in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section 7(b)(i).

(B) The Transferor shall give written notice (the "ROFR Notice") to Holdings of its receipt of the Bona Fide Offer and desire to accept the same, which notice shall (1) state the

identity of the Prospective Purchaser and, if the Prospective Purchaser is not its own ultimate parent within the meaning of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, the identity of its ultimate parent(s) and (2) set forth all material terms of the Bona Fide Offer (including the purchase price and the method of payment thereof). Holdings shall then have the option to exercise its ROFR, and to purchase all but not less than all of the ROFR Shares at the applicable price determined in accordance with the following sentence and, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 7(b), on the terms of the Bona Fide Offer (as disclosed in the ROFR Notice). The price at which the ROFR Shares may be purchased by Holdings shall be the price offered in the Bona Fide Offer (the "ROFR Price"). The Transferor shall enclose with the ROFR Notice a true and complete copy of the Bona Fide Offer and all documents related thereto. In determining the ROFR Price, (i) if any portion of the price offered in the Bona Fide Offer consisted of consideration other than cash, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration shall be deemed to be equal to the amount determined by agreement of the Transferor and Holdings or, failing such agreement, as determined in accordance with the procedures as set forth in Section 7(b)(ii); and (ii) the number of ROFR Shares and the number of shares of any series included in the ROFR Shares shall be calculated without duplication for any shares that may, by virtue of the definition of "Beneficially Owned," be deemed to be Beneficially Owned by more than one Member.

(C) Upon Receipt of a ROFR Notice, Holdings shall have the right, exercisable (if so determined by Independent Committee) by the written notice (an "Election Notice") given to the Transferor on or before the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt of the ROFR Notice, to exercise the ROFR as to the ROFR Shares and to purchase all but not less than all of the ROFR Shares. If Holdings duly delivers an Election Notice for the ROFR Shares in accordance with the foregoing procedure, it shall (subject to Holdings' right to elect to pay a portion of ROFR Price in debt or equity securities in accordance with Section 7(b)(i)(D) or (E)), purchase the ROFR Shares for cash, paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds on or prior to the ROFR Closing Date to an account designated by the Transferor in writing at least two (2) Business Days before such date. Notwithstanding the date fixed as the ROFR Closing Date in Section 8(a), the ROFR Closing Date for the purchase and sale of the ROFR Shares pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be subject to extension in accordance with Section 7(b)(ii).

(D) In the event that any part of the price specified in the Bona Fide Offer is proposed to be paid in debt securities, Holdings may, in its discretion, elect to pay the equivalent portion of the ROFR Price through the issuance of debt securities with substantially similar terms in an amount the fair market value of which is equal to the fair market value of the equivalent portion of the debt securities specified in the ROFR Notice, in each case such fair value to be agreed to by Holdings and the Transferor or, failing such agreement, as determined in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 7(b)(ii), taking into consideration relevant credit factors relating to the Prospective Purchaser and Holdings and the marketability and liquidity of such debt securities.

(E) In the event that any part of the price specified in the Bona Fide Offer is proposed to be paid in equity securities, Holdings may, in its discretion, elect to pay the equivalent portion of the ROFR Price through the issuance of Low Vote Stock in an amount the fair market value (which shall be the Per Share Value multiplied by the number of Member Shares proposed to be sold) of which is equal to the fair market value of the equivalent portion of the equity securities specified in the ROFR Notice, in each case such fair value to be agreed to by Holdings and the Transferor or, failing such agreement, as determined in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 7(b)(ii), taking into consideration relevant factors

relating to the Prospective Purchaser and Holdings and the marketability and liquidity of such equity securities (including any transfer restrictions applicable thereto).

(F) In the event that (1) no Election Notice has been given by the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt of the ROFR Notice, or (2) if an Election Notice is given, the ROFR Closing has not occurred by the 61st day after the Election Notice is given (or such later date as the parties may have scheduled for the ROFR Closing or to which the ROFR Closing may have been extended pursuant to Section 7(b)(ii)), for any reason other than a breach by the Transferor or another Member or Permitted Transferee of its obligations hereunder (the first to occur of such events being the "Free to Sell Date"), then each Person included within the Transferor shall have the right to sell all but not less than all of the ROFR Shares of such Person to the Prospective Purchaser at the price (or a greater price) and upon the terms (or terms no more favorable to the Prospective Purchaser) specified in the ROFR Notice and, in connection with any such sale such Person shall not be required to convert any of such ROFR Shares into shares of Low Vote Stock prior to the sale to such Prospective Purchaser. The right to sell ROFR Shares to the Prospective Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7(b)(i)(F) shall expire and the provisions of this Section 7(b)(i) shall be reinstated in the event that the Prospective Purchaser has not purchased such ROFR Shares within ten (10) Business Days after the Free to Sell Date.

(ii) (A) If a Bona Fide Offer proposes to pay a portion of the price for the ROFR Shares in consideration other than cash and Holdings and the Transferor have not agreed upon the value thereof (or, in the case of debt or equity securities, if Holdings has elected to pay a portion of the ROFR Price in equivalent securities and Holdings and the Transferor have not agreed upon the value of the debt or equity securities Holdings proposes to issue) by the Close of Business on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the date otherwise fixed for the ROFR Closing (the "Commencement Date") then the procedures set forth in this Section 7(b)(ii) shall be commenced and the ROFR Closing Date shall be extended to the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which the fair market value of the noncash consideration (or Holdings issued debt securities) has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 7(b)(ii).

(B) Holdings and the Transferor shall each retain a Qualified Appraiser and notify the other party of its selection within five (5) Business Days of the Commencement Date to render the determination required by this Section 7(b)(ii). If either party fails to timely select its Qualified Appraiser then the Qualified Appraiser selected by the other party shall render such determination. Holdings and the Transferor shall each be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser selected by it, unless only one Qualified Appraiser is selected in which case Holdings and the Transferor shall each bear 50% of such fees and expenses. If a Third Appraiser is selected pursuant to this Section 7(b)(ii) the fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser will be shared equally by Holdings and the Transferor.

(C) The Qualified Appraisers selected by the parties shall submit their respective independent determinations of the fair market value of the noncash consideration (and, if applicable, Holdings issued debt securities), within 15 Business Days after the Commencement Date. If the respective determinations of such Qualified Appraisers vary by less than ten percent (10%), the fair market value of the noncash consideration (and, if applicable, Holdings issued debt securities) shall be the average of the two determinations.

(D) If such respective determinations vary by ten percent (10%) or more, the two Qualified Appraisers shall promptly designate a third Qualified Appraiser (the "Third Appraiser"). No party to this Agreement or any Affiliate of any party to this Agreement or Qualified Appraiser shall, provide any information to the Third Appraiser as to the determinations of the initial Qualified Appraisers or otherwise influence the Third Appraiser's

determination in any way. The Third Appraiser shall submit its determination of the fair market value of the noncash consideration (and, if applicable, Holdings issued debt securities), within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Third Appraiser is retained. If a Third Appraiser is retained, the fair market value of the noncash consideration (and, if applicable, Holdings issued debt securities) shall equal the average of the two closest of the three determinations, except that, if the difference between the highest and middle determinations is no more than 105% and no less than 95% of the difference between the middle and lowest determinations, then the fair market value shall equal the middle determination.

(E) In determining the fair market value of the noncash consideration (and, if applicable, Holdings issued debt securities), each Qualified Appraiser retained pursuant to this Section 7(b)(ii) shall: (i) assume that the fair market value of the applicable asset is the price at which the asset would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and each having reasonable knowledge of all relevant facts; (ii) assume that the applicable asset would be sold for cash; and (iii) use valuation techniques then prevailing in the relevant industry.

(iii) No voluntary transfers of Member Shares may be made by any Holder during the Call Period and if the Redemption Right is exercised, thereafter, except to Holdings pursuant to the Redemption Right. Accordingly, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no voluntary transfer may be made during such period pursuant to a Bona Fide Offer, notwithstanding the Transferor's compliance with this Section 7(b) prior to ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ death.

(iv) If there shall be more than one Transferor in any transaction or series of related transactions covered by an ROFR Notice, and if, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, Holdings pays the ROFR Price with more than one form of consideration, then unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Transferors, each Transferor shall receive on a per share basis substantially the same combination of consideration.

8.: CLOSING MATTERS FOR RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

(a) ROFR Closing Date. The consummation of the purchase and sale of ROFR Shares following the exercise of the ROFR pursuant to Section 7(b) (in each case, a "ROFR Closing") shall be held at 10:00 a.m. local time on, respectively, the 60th day following the date the Election Notice is given or (z) such other date and at such other time as the Member or the Transferor and Holdings may agree (the date on which any such ROFR Closing occurs is referred to herein as the "ROFR Closing Date"). The ROFR Closing shall take place at the principal offices of Holdings or at such other place as the Member(s) (as the case may be) and Holdings may agree.

(b) ROFR Closing Deliveries. At the ROFR Closing, Holdings shall pay to the Member(s) (including any Permitted Transferee(s)) comprising the Seller (i) any portion of the ROFR Price that was required to be paid in cash in the manner provided in Section 7(b)(i)(C), as and if applicable, and (ii) deliver certificate(s) registered in the name of each Seller for the number of shares of Low Vote Stock required to be delivered in payment of the portion of the ROFR Price payable in Low Vote Stock. At the ROFR Closing, each of the Member(s) (including any Permitted Transferee(s)) participating in the sale shall be required, as a condition to receiving payment, to deliver to Holdings (i) a stock certificate or certificates, duly endorsed for transfer or in blank, representing such Person's ROFR Shares, (ii) if applicable, copies of Letters Testamentary or other documentation evidencing the authority of such Person to transfer any of the ROFR Shares that are evidenced by certificates registered in the name of a Person other than such Seller, (iii) a certificate, executed by or on behalf of such Person, in which such Person represents and warrants to Holdings that such Person has good title to the ROFR Shares being sold by him, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges or encumbrances

and has the legal authority to consummate such sale and (iv) such other certificates and documents as Holdings may reasonably request.

9.: EXCHANGE OF ▇▇▇▇▇▇ SPLITCO STOCK AND RELATED MATTERS.

(a) Exchange. At the Exchange Time, (i) each Member shall assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Holdings and Holdings shall accept and acquire from such Member, all outstanding shares of Splitco Class B Common Stock owned of record by him, her or it (free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens created by this Agreement and any Permitted Pledge (subject to the last sentence of this paragraph)), and (ii) Holdings shall issue and deliver to the Members, and the Members shall accept and acquire from Holdings, in the aggregate, the Member Holdings Shares (free and clear of all Liens, other than any Liens created by such Member (collectively, the "Exchange"). The Members shall cause any Permitted Pledge on the shares of Splitco Class B Common Stock Beneficially Owned by them to be released concurrent with the Exchange Time (it being understood that such Permitted Pledge shall thereupon encumber the Member Shares received in exchange therefor in the Exchange).

(b) Exchange of Certificates. To effect the Exchange at the Exchange Time, the exchange of certificates (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) representing the shares of Splitco Class B Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Members for certificates (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) representing the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings Shares, and the related actions thereto, shall be completed by the Exchange Agent (as if at the Merger Effective Time) pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.2. of the Merger Agreement.

(c) Fractional Shares. No certificates, scrip or book-entry credit representing fractional shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock will be issued upon the Exchange pursuant to Section 9(a) of this Agreement, and to the extent any Member would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Holdings Class B Common Stock, no such fractional share will be issued to such Member as a result of the Exchange and no such holder shall be entitled to vote or to any rights of a holder of Holdings Class B Common Stock with respect to any fractional shares such holder otherwise would have been entitled to receive. If any Member otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of Holdings Class B Common Stock, such Member will instead receive cash in an amount equal to the product of the applicable fraction of a share multiplied by the closing sales price of the DIRECTV Common Stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on the Closing Date. The Exchange Agent will make available the aggregate cash amount allocable to such Member, after deducting any required withholding Taxes, without interest, as soon as practicable to such Member. No interest shall accrue on any cash payable to such Member pursuant to this Section 9(c).
