The Product Warranty and Seller’s obligation under this Section 6.1 shall extend (1) for the finished goods inventory and additional components described in Schedule C, for the earlier of (A) thirty-six (36) months from the Closing Date and ( B) one (1) year from the date of installation of any such finished goods inventory or components, and (2) one (1) year from the Closing Date for the remainder of the Constructed BPL Network (the “Product Warranty Period”), provided that upon the occurrence of an Epidemic Failure (as defined in Section 6.3), the Product Warranty Period applicable to any specific kind of Product, bearing the same stock-keeping unit number for which the failure to conform to the Product Specifications and/or the defect or defects constitute the Epidemic Failure shall be extended for a single period of twelve (12) months after the date that there are a sufficient number of Product failures to cause an Epidemic Failure. All warranty claims not made in writing or not received by the Seller within the Product Warranty Period (as may be extended) will be deemed waived. The Seller’s Product Warranty and obligation is solely for the benefit of the Buyer, who has no authority to extend this Product Warranty to any other person or entity other than permitted assignees hereunder. The Product Warranty shall not apply to any defect if and to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by: (i) accident, unusual physical neglect or misuse not caused by the Seller, (ii) for the finished goods inventory and additional components described in Schedule C, such inventory and components are or were not stored indoors in a dry, non-condensing humidity- and corrosive-free environment within the temperature limits of -40 °C to +55 °C in a substantially similar manner in which it is stored at Closing, (iii) refusal or failure by Buyer to accept and have installed any update, upgrade, patch, bug fix or other modification to software licensed under the License Agreement recommended by Seller (or its Affiliates) unless such refusal or failure is reasonable because of apparent defects or violation of any third party rights caused by such update, upgrade, patch, bug fix or other modification and provided that any defect resulting from such update, upgrade, patch, bug fix or other modification is covered by the Product Warranty, (iv) unauthorized modification or unauthorized use of the BPL Equipment, (v) the Buyer’s failure to install or operate the BPL Equipment in all material respects according to the Product Specifications or instructions delivered in writing to the Buyer by the Seller; or (vi) uses of the BPL Equipment for purposes other than those identified by the Product Specifications or as used by the Seller as of Closing to provide services to the Buyer

under the Utility Agreements, including installation of or other work on portions of the Constructed BPL Network done by anyone other than a qualified technician authorized to perform such work by Buyer.

(b) All BPL Equipment to be returned to the Seller under the Product Warranty require a return material authorization in the form of Exhibit C (“RMA”) from the Seller prior to such return within ninety (90) days of the date on which any of Buyer’s employees who, based on such employee’s technical qualifications and job responsibilities is or should reasonably be able to recognize such defect, has knowledge of such defect or from the date that the Buyer uninstalls such BPL Equipment. All returned BPL Equipment shall be returned in packaging sufficient to ship the BPL Equipment without causing damage to the BPL Equipment with documentation reasonably describing the part number, nature of the defect, how it was discovered and under what conditions it occurred, to the extent known by the Buyer. Once an RMA is issued, the Buyer shall have fifteen (15) calendar days to ship the associated BPL Equipment to the Seller. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Seller shall be responsible for all freight, insurance and other shipping costs related to the delivery of the BPL Equipment from the Buyer to the Seller and Seller shall be responsible for all freight, insurance and other shipping costs related to the delivery of the return of the replacement or repaired BPL Equipment to the Buyer; provided that if the returned BPL Equipment is not defective or not under Product Warranty, the Buyer shall be responsible for all such freight, insurance and other shipping costs incurred by the Buyer and Seller in connection with the shipment of such BPL Equipment to or from the Buyer. If an Epidemic Failure occurs, the Seller shall be responsible for any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in connection with the identification of the defect, the uninstallation of the defective particular BPL Equipment products in connection with the Epidemic Failure, the installation of the replacement or repaired particular BPL Equipment product, and otherwise with the return and replacement of the defective particular BPL Equipment product (collectively, the “Epidemic Failure costs”); provided, however, that the Seller’s responsibility for the Epidemic Failure costs associated with any specific and identifiable Epidemic Failure shall be limited to $2,000,000. If the Buyer is unable to identify the defect, the Buyer may request the Seller’s assistance in isolating the failure and identifying the defect, and the Seller agrees to provide such assistance; provided that Seller may assess a reasonable fee for such services; provided further that no such fees shall be assessed if there is a defect in the BPL Equipment. The Seller shall ship a replacement or repaired applicable BPL Equipment to the Buyer under this Section 6.1 within thirty (30) days of receipt of the defective BPL Equipment. The Product Warranty Period for any replacement or repaired BPL Equipment provided under this Section 6.1(b) shall be the unexpired portion of the initial Product Warranty Period applicable to such BPL Equipment or one (1) year from the shipment of the repaired or replaced BPL Equipment, whichever is later.

SECTION 6.2 Third Party Warranty. For any equipment or product that comprises or is part of Constructed BPL Network that is not BPL Equipment, such equipment and products being set forth in Schedule G, the Seller shall assign or pass through, as the case may be and to the extent such assignment or pass through is permitted, to the Buyer all

warranties and indemnities offered by the manufacturer or a vendor or dealer of such equipment or product, which shall extend only for such time as the third party product manufacturer provides such warranty, which the Seller and the Buyer acknowledge that such warranty may not be for the same duration as the Product Warranty provided herein by the Seller. At the Buyer’s request, the Seller authorizes the Buyer to assert for the Seller’s account, all rights of the Seller (granted under this Agreement) under any manufacturer’s, vendor’s, or dealer’s warranty or indemnities on any third party equipment or product comprising or part of the Constructed BPL Network, and the Seller agrees to cooperate, subject to Buyer’s reimbursement of Seller’s reasonably incurred costs and out-of-pocket expenses, with the Buyer in asserting such rights.

SECTION 6.3 Epidemic Failure. “Epidemic Failure” shall mean, during the Product Warranty Period, a failure of more than two percent (2%) of a specific kind of Product (provided that in no event shall any failure of fewer than five (5) units constitute an Epidemic Failure), bearing the same stock-keeping unit number, (as set out on Schedule A) deployed in the Constructed BPL Network to conform to the Product Warranty in this Article VI. Buyer shall provide notice to Seller within ten (10) days of the date on which Buyer believes an Epidemic Failure has occurred. Such notice shall specify the reasons supporting such claim, a description of any tests conducted by Buyer and any related test or performance results, and shall be accompanied by samples of the BPL Equipment product involved in the Epidemic Failure. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in determining whether Buyer’s claim of Epidemic Failure is accurate.

SECTION 8.3 Indemnification Procedures. (a) A party that seeks indemnity under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) containing (i) a description and, if known, the estimated amount of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim Notice to the extent of the facts then known by the Indemnified Party and (iii) a demand for payment of those Losses.

PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE AND/OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH FOR ANY ACTS OR OMISSION OR BREACH UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (a) except as set forth in clause (b) below, an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.1(a) or 8.2(a), unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party equals or exceeds $150,000 (at which point the Indemnifying Party shall liable for the aggregate Losses and not just amounts in excess of that sum); (b) there shall be no maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Sections 8.1(a) in the case of a claim arising from the breach of Article VI; and (c) the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Sections 8.1(a) or 8.2(a), as the case may be, shall be an amount equal to (i) the Purchase Price in the case of a claim arising from the breach of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and the first sentence of 4.6 and 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 and (ii) thirty-five percent (35%) of the Purchase Price for all other breaches, cumulatively for all such causes. The Buyer’s sole remedy for any claim regarding the performance of the BPL Equipment and for other equipment comprising the Constructed BPL Network with respect to the non-compliance with the Product Specifications or defects in materials and workmanship shall be the Product Warranty in Section 6.1 and 6.2. For purposes of this Article VIII, the amount of any Losses associated with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty, or nonfulfillment, nonperformance or other breach of any covenant or agreement by the Seller or the Buyer, will be determined without regard to any materiality or similar qualification.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, CURRENT and Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor”), the parent company of IES, have entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale of Network and Related Equipment (the “APA”) with respect to the sale of substantially all of the assets of CURRENT, including the existing broadband over powerline network existing as of the date hereof;

WHEREAS, in connection with APA, Oncor and CURRENT have agreed to reduce the purchase price by any amounts owed from CURRENT to IES as of the date hereof resulting from the Services Agreement between IES and CURRENT dated October 9, 2006 and as subsequently amended (the “Original Agreement”);

WHEREAS, as a condition to closing the transactions contemplated by the APA and in consideration for the reduction in the purchase price for the amounts owed IES, the Parties now wish to settle and compromise all claims and disputes among them arising out of or relating to the Original Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals set forth above, and in further consideration of the promises and actions contained herein, it is agreed as follows:

1. IES and CURRENT, other than with respect to IES’s failure to pay any of its subcontractors and/or material suppliers, in all capacities and each on behalf of itself and all of its past and present subsidiaries, affiliates, parents and divisions, together with the predecessors, successors and assigns of the same; and all of the partners, members, officers, directors, agents, and employees of the same, together with their heirs, administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby finally, unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely releases, acquits, and forever discharges the other Party, its past, present and future subsidiaries, affiliates, parents and divisions, together with the predecessors, successors and assigns of the same; and all of the partners, members, officers, directors, attorneys, agents, and employees of the same, together with their heirs, administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns (together, the “Released Parties”) from and against any and all Claims (as defined below), arising out of, related to or happening in connection with any acts or omissions of any Party occurring prior to the date hereof. THIS IS A GENERAL WAIVER AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS.

2. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Parties is the owner of the Claims being compromised, settled, discharged and released pursuant to this Agreement and further warrants and represents that it has not previously assigned all or any part of such Claims to another entity or person.

3. Each Party covenants not to sue, or, except as may be compelled by legal process, otherwise participate in any action against any of the Released Parties based upon any of the Claims compromised, settled, discharged and released pursuant to this Agreement.

4. This Agreement is intended to compromise, terminate and constitute an accord and satisfaction of all of the Claims released hereby, as described above, and each of IES and CURRENT admits no liability, fault or wrongdoing of any nature or kind whatsoever and expressly denies and disclaims any liability, fault or wrongdoing alleged, or which could have been alleged, with regard to such Claims.

5. “Claims” means any and all presently known or unknown, fixed or contingent, legal or equitable, suspected or unsuspected, liabilities, actions, causes of action, claims, demands, indemnities, sums of money, expense reimbursements, obligations, debts, judgments, agreements, exceptions, costs, expenses, fees (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) and suits of any nature.

6. Other than as set forth in the APA, this Agreement represents the entire agreement among the Parties and supersedes and cancels any prior oral or written agreement. No provision hereof may be terminated, amended or waived other than in writing signed by the Party against whom the enforcement of such change is sought.

7. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement and no course of dealing among the Parties, operates as a waiver of such right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy precludes any other or further exercise of such right or remedy or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Any enumeration of a Party’s rights and remedies in this Agreement is not intended to be exclusive, and a Party’s rights and remedies are intended to be cumulative to the extent permitted by law and include any rights and remedies authorized in law, by contract or in equity.

8. This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than State of Texas. The Parties hereto mutually consent to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Dallas County, Texas and agree that any action, suit or proceeding concerning, related to or arising out of this Agreement and the negotiation of this Agreement will be brought only in a federal or state court in Dallas County, Texas and the Parties hereto agree that they will not raise any defense or objection or file any motion based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, inconvenience of the forum or the like in any case filed in a federal or state court in Dallas County, Texas. The Parties agree that any action or suit arising from this Agreement shall be brought in Dallas County, Texas, and venue shall be in Dallas County, Dallas, Texas.

9. The Parties participated jointly in the negotiation and preparation of the Agreement. In the event of any dispute concerning the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any ambiguity hereof, there shall be no presumption that this Agreement or any provision hereof be construed against either Party.
