For any Included Program withdrawn pursuant to this Clause 6.1, Licensor shall provide a mutually agreed upon comparable replacement, or refund to Licensee or credit against Licensee payables within sixty (60) calendar days of the effective date of such withdrawal, a pro rata amount of all License Fees paid to Licensor for withdrawn Included Programs for which the License Period has not begun or has not expired, such pro rata amount to be calculated based upon the percentage of the applicable License Period for each such Included Program that remains as of the effective date of such withdrawal.

[#Delete rest of 6.2 as well? i.e. to revert to UK position – no withdrawal rights for Licensee.]

6.1[6.2] Withdrawal by Licensee.

[6.2.1] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Licensee shall have the right to temporarily suspend or permanently withdraw any Included Program (or one or more episodes of the same) from the Licensee Service at any time for any reason. Such suspension or withdrawal by Licensee pursuant to this Clause 6.2 (i.e. – a suspension or withdrawal by Licensee that is not a Removal for Cause, as defined below in Clause 6.2.2) shall not relieve Licensee of its payment obligations hereunder.

[6.2.2] Without limiting the foregoing, in the event Licensee temporarily suspends or permanently withdraws any Included Program or one or more episodes of the same from the Licensee Service because of its reasonable, good faith determination, that continued distribution of such Included Program or episode or performance of its obligations under this Agreement may create material legal or regulatory liability for Licensee (a “Removal for Cause”), Licensor shall refund to Licensee or credit against Licensee payables, at Licensee’s option and within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of such temporary suspension or permanent withdrawal, a pro rata amount of all License Fees paid to Licensor for withdrawn Included Programs (or episode)

for which the License Period has not begun or has not expired, such pro rata amount to be calculated based upon: (i) in the case of a permanent withdrawal, the percentage of the applicable License Period for each such Included Program that remains as of the effective date of such withdrawal and (ii) in the case of a temporary suspension, from the effective date of such suspension, based upon the amount of time of such suspension. In the event of a Removal for Cause or Licensor’s withdrawal of one or more episodes of any Included Program(s) (“Withdrawn Episode”), Licensee shall be entitled, in its sole and absolute discretion, to temporarily suspend or permanently withdraw the Season(s) of the Included Program that contained such episode(s) (a “Withdrawn Season”), and shall be entitled to a pro rata refund or credit against Licensee payable, at Licensee’s option, for such Withdrawn Season(s) of the Included Program in accordance with this Clause 6.2.2; provided, however, that the season may only be withdrawn if it is a series that has a continuous, sequential storyline. The Removal of Cause of one or more episodes of any Included Program that are each “stand-alone” episodes of a non-serialized Title shall not give rise to Licensee’s right to withdraw of the entire season of such Included Program.

[6.3] In the event of a Withdrawn Season of any Included Program(s), Licensee shall be entitled, at any time and in its discretion, to temporarily suspend or permanently withdraw all other or remaining Seasons of the Included Program. Licensor shall refund to Licensee or credit against Licensee payables, at Licensee’s option and within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of withdrawal, a prorated amount of the relevant License Fee paid to Licensor for all such Withdrawn Seasons, such pro rata amount to be calculated from the effective date of withdrawal and based upon the amount of time remaining in the relevant Included Program License Period(s).

[7.] LICENSE FEE; PAYMENT.

[7.1] License Fee. In consideration of the rights granted hereunder and subject to Clauses 4 and 5, for each Included Program delivered in accordance herewith, Licensee shall pay to Licensor a license fee determined in accordance with this Clause 7 for the Included Programs licensed by Licensee hereunder as set forth on Schedule C attached hereto, allocated among the four countries of the Territory in accordance with Schedule C (each, a “License Fee”).

Licensee covenants and agrees to make all payments to Licensor hereunder in a timely manner.

The parties agree that no VAT will be charged or collected pursuant to the reverse-charge mechanism under the EU VAT Directive.

Licensee may withhold from its payments to Licensor any Taxes required to be withheld by applicable law unless Licensor provides Licensee with documentation sufficient to verify that Licensor is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to the Luxembourg-United Kingdom Tax Treaty. Licensee shall (i) remit legally required amount from payment to Licensor to the applicable taxing authority, and (ii) deliver to Licensor original documentation or a certified copy evidencing such remittance to permit Licensor to obtain a credit or withholding in respect of such amounts withheld (a “Withholding Tax Receipt”). In the event Licensee does not provide a Withholding Tax Receipt in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Licensee shall be liable to and shall reimburse Licensor for the withholding Taxes deducted from payments due Licensor.

7.5 Pursuant to the Double Taxation Convention between Licensor’s country and Licensee’s country, Licensor shall apply for an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax pursuant to such Double Taxation Convention and shall be responsible for delivering to Licensee appropriate documentation (such as a Certificate of Fiscal Residence, if required pursuant to the applicable Double Taxation Convention); provided that Licensee shall provide to Licensor all assistance, documentation and information reasonably required for Licensor to obtain such exempt or reduced withholding.

7.6 Other Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Licensee shall be solely responsible to determine, collect, bear, remit, and pay, and shall hold Licensor forever harmless from and against, any and all Taxes (including interest and penalties on any such amounts, but other than Licensor’s corporate income and similar taxes), payments, or fees required to be paid to any third party now or hereafter imposed or based upon the importation, licensing, rental, delivery, exhibition, possession, or use hereunder to or by Licensee of the Included Programs, Created Masters, or Advertising Materials, or any print or any Copy thereof.

[8.6.1.] Licensor shall informally advise provide (as part of the materials provided in Clause 8.1.2 or 8.1.3, as applicable) Licensee applicable theatrical and/or home entertainment ratings (and/or any other content classification information)with US MPAA ratings for Included Programs (where available) for Licensee’s general reference and use for the SVOD Service, it being acknowledged by the parties that such theatrical/home entertainment ratings (which are not applicable to online exploitation) may also be proprietary to the issuing classification body. Any use by Licensee of such proprietary ratings shall be as between Licensee and the relevant classification body. [#To confirm – we won’t be supplying any local ratings at all? Even if we have them? If so, I can delete the last part I have added back in.]

8.5.1.[8.6.2.] Where no advisory information is provided by Licensor with respect to any Included Program with the initial delivery of such Included Program, Licensee shall have the right (subject to applicable law) to apply its own rating to such Included Program (and, at Licensee’s discretion, such rating may be an “unrated” or “not rated” rating, or, at Licensee’s option, Licensee shall have the right to instead not assign a rating to such Included Program in Licensee’s discretion). In the event Licensor reasonably disagrees with such rating (if any), the parties shall discuss such rating in good faith. Licensee shall update any rating which the parties mutually agree should be changed.

[8.6.3.] In the event that a compulsory content classification body (“Compulsory Regime”) is established within the Territory applicable for content distributed by means of SVOD via Approved Delivery, either party shall provide written notice to the other party and the parties agree to discuss in good faith the implementation (if applicable) of such Compulsory Regime in the context of distribution of the Included Programs hereunder. Where no agreement is reached in relation to the implementation of the Compulsory Regime within thirty (30) days of such aforementioned notice, either party shall have the right but not the obligation to withdraw such affected Included Program(s), and Licensor shall have no obligation to supply and Licensee shall have no obligation to license the relevant Included Program(s) and Licensor shall refund to Licensee (or credit against Licensee’s payables hereunder), a prorated amount of the relevant License Fee(s) for such Included Program(s) paid to Licensor.

8.5.2.[8.6.4.] If, at any time during the Term, the relevant ratings body applicable under a Compulsory Regime issues updated rules or otherwise requires the display of rating information for SVOD content in a manner different than previously required then either party shall provide written notice to the other party of such new requirements and the parties shall discuss in good faith the implementation (if applicable) of such updated rules. Where no agreement is reached in relation to thereto within thirty (30) days of such aforementioned notice, either party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to withdraw the affected Included Program(s), Licensor shall have no obligation to supply and Licensee shall have no obligation to license the relevant Included Program(s), ) and Licensor shall refund to Licensee (or credit against Licensee’s payables hereunder), a prorated amount of the relevant License Fee(s) for such Included Program(s) paid to Licensor.

Netflix wants to avoid wording that seeks to restrict its ability to withdraw from a non-compulsory scheme. I explained the wording does not do that. To discuss right of credit of licence fees where we fail to supply rating as part of a compulsory schedule. Explained that we consider such services to be analogous to the TV distribution business where it is the broadcaster who is responsible for ratings. Also explained that this part of the business is a b2b business and we do not as a matter of practice obtain ratings. Said there are no exceptions to this clause with any distributor – we do not take on responsibility for ratings. Netflix consider it is only us as the content owner that is capable of determining ratings –Netflix is not in a position to determine ratings. They will not take responsibility for them and in the event we don’t supply, they will require a refund. I said I would discuss internally the possibility of refund only applying in the event of a compulsory scheme that required us to supply and we failed to supply – ie limited right only where it is our responsibility by law and we don’t meet it. GPC will find out what ratings system is used in the Nordics for digital distribution.]

8.[9.] CONTENT PROTECTION & SECURITY.

[9.1.] General. Licensee shall, throughout the Term, maintain the security systems, procedures and technologies (including, without limitation, Content Protection Systems) that are no less stringent or robust than those which Licensee employs with respect to licensed films from other licensors, but in no event less than industry standard, in each case in the Territory. [# Given centralized infrastructure, content protection technology used would be the same globally. Using different DRMs in different territories does not create a different standard as the different Approved Formats all meet the same standard.] As of the Effective Date, Licensee represents and warrants that it implements, and will continue to implement throughout the remainder of the Term, the systems, procedures and technologies set forth on Schedule B and Schedule D. Subject to the foregoing, Licensee shall maintain and upgrade such security systems, procedures and technologies (including, without limitation, encryption methods) as necessary and commercially reasonable to prevent theft, pirating, unauthorized exhibition (including, without limitation, exhibition to non-Registered Users and exhibition outside the Territory), unauthorized copying or duplication of any video reproduction or compressed digitized copy of any Included Program.

Per our technical team, there are territorial nuances. For example, DRM availability is not the same in every territory (eg, Marlin may be industry standard in certain countries while WMDRM is in others). We are still obligated to the security obligations in Schedule B in any event.

and review such modified security systems, procedures and technologies at Licensee’s affected places of business (including off-site facilities, if any, used by Licensee).

[9.2.] Suspension Notice. Licensee shall notify Licensor immediately upon learning of the occurrence of any Security Breach or Territorial Breach, and shall provide Licensor with specific information describing the nature and extent of such occurrence. Licensor shall have the right to suspend the availability (“Suspension”) of the Included Programs on the SVOD Service at any time during the Avail Term in the event of a Security Breach or Territorial Breach by delivering a notice to Licensee of such suspension (“Suspension Notice”). Upon receipt of a Suspension Notice, Licensee shall take steps immediately to remove the Included Programs or make the Included Programs inaccessible from the SVOD Service as soon as commercially feasible (but in no event more than three (3) calendar days after receipt of such notice). The parties acknowledge that a Suspension pursuant to this Clause 9.2 may be occasioned in the absence of a Licensee Event of Default (e.g., in the event the DRM is hacked through no fault of Licensee), and that in such event, (i) no further rights or obligations shall accrue on the part of either party after such a Suspension with regard to such Suspension [#As per previously agreed clause.], (ii) Licensor shall not discriminate against Licensee with respect to initiating Suspension as compared to other distributors of Licensor’s content, and (iii) Licensor shall refund to Licensee or credit against Licensee payables, at Licensee’s option and within thirty (30) calendar days of the date such Suspension, a prorated amount of all License Fees paid to Licensor, such pro rata amount to be calculated as of the date of such Suspension Notice. [#Consider accepting part added in green which I have for now deleted.]

[9.3.] Reinstatement/Termination. If the cause of the Security Flaw that gave rise to a Suspension is corrected, repaired, solved or otherwise addressed in the sole judgment of Licensor, the Suspension shall terminate upon Licensor’s delivery to Licensee of a notice thereof (“Reinstatement Notice”) and Licensor’s obligation to make the Included Programs available on the SVOD Service shall resume. For clarity, no period of Suspension shall extend the Avail Term in time, and upon a notice that a Suspension has ended, the Avail Term shall end as otherwise provided herein. As soon as practicable after the delivery of a Reinstatement Notice to Licensee, Licensee may include the Included Programs on the SVOD Service. If more than two Suspensions occur during the Avail Term for any reason under any provision of this Agreement, or any single Suspension lasts for a period of three months or more, Licensor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such election to the Licensee. [#As per previously agreed clause.], provided that Licensor shall refund to Licensee or credit against Licensee payables, at Licensee’s option and within thirty (30) calendar days of the date such termination, a prorated amount of all License Fees paid to Licensor, such pro rata amount to be calculated as of the date of the expiration of the relevant cure period.

8.1.[9.4.] Obligation to Monitor. Licensee shall have the obligation to notify Licensor promptly of any Security Breaches or Territorial Breaches of which it becomes aware.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Clause 10, Licensee shall not be responsible for any third party modifications to Included Programs or overlays that obscure or otherwise interact with Included Programs and result from Registered User’s use of his or her Approved Device and/or from the operation of any third party hardware and/or software and are not initiated by Licensee (collectively, “Program Overlays”); provided that (i) Licensee shall include in its terms of service with third parties who develop Applications a requirement that any Program Overlays conform to industry standard, (ii) no Program Overlay may alter or modify the Usage Rules, and (iii) if Licensee becomes aware of any third party implementing a Program Overlay in an Included Program in violation of the applicable terms of service, Licensee shall use reasonable means to address such violation and/or, in its reasonable discretion, revoke such third party access to the Included Programs and/or SVOD Service.

In the event Licensee creates materials by “down-converting” a Copy supplied by Licensor, Licensee shall not alter the aspect ratio. of the output frame. No other forms of down-converting (other than of a digital file Copy in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) is permitted under this Agreement. [#Discussed addition re “multichannel video programming” with Josephine. Intention of the change was so that (i) and (ii) have the same std.

9.1.1.[11.1.1.] Licensee may promote the upcoming exhibition of each Library Feature or TV Series on the SVOD Service in printed materials distributed directly and solely to Registered Users not earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Availability Date of such Included Program and continue promoting such availability through the last day of such Included Program’s License Period.

only announce and/or promote and/or advertise (in any and all media) its future availability on the SVOD Service by referring to its specific Availability Date. By way of example, in such case “Coming to ______ on September 10” would be acceptable, but “Coming soon on _______” would not be acceptable.

9.1.3.2.[11.1.4.2.] If an announcement, promotion or advertisement is 10 or fewer days in advance of such program’s Availability Date, Licensee shall have the right to announce and/or promote and/or advertise (in any and all media) its future availability by referring generally to its upcoming availability or referring to its specific Availability Date.

In addition to and without limiting any other remedy available to Licensor hereunder, in the event that Licensee exceeds the Maximum Preview Duration or any Revised Preview Duration (in the case of a Revised Preview Duration, after Licensee shortens the duration of such preview in accordance with the preceding sentence), Licensee shall indemnify Licensor for the costs of any residual, reuse or other fee payable by Licensor or its affiliates under the applicable guild, union or collective bargaining agreement(s) as a result thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensor shall have the right to terminate (a) Licensee’s right to use a Promotional Preview for a particular Included Program on a case-by-case basis if Licensor reasonably believes that such Promotional Preview is not appropriate for all audiences or may violate the terms of any of Licensor’s agreements with, or may adversely affect Licensor’s material relations with any third party and (b) Licensee’s general right to use Promotional Previews under this Agreement if Licensor withdraws such general right from all other Internet SVOD distributors of Licensor’s content in the Territory (i.e., distributors who are authorized to deliver Licensor’s content for exhibition via the public Internet).

[15.] REPORTING OBLIGATIONS. Licensee shall report electronically to Licensor at [email protected] the following information: on a monthly basis, within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each calendar month, a written report detailing the aggregate number of unique Registered User viewers for each Included Program and the aggregate number of Registered User stream starts, in each instance with respect to the Territory (which within six (6) months of the date of this Agreement, shall be broken down by each country within the Territory); ; provided, however, that Registered Users attributable to a “free trial” of or other promotion for the SVOD Service shall not be included. Additionally, Licensee shall provide Licensor, at least once during each calendar quarter, with an informal business review, which if available and not subject to confidentiality restrictions will include (1) data and discussion regarding the performance and relative performance of Included Programs on the SVOD Service, Hardware Devices and/or Software Devices such as the performance of Included Programs by content type (e.g., episodic vs. feature) and age; (2) additional streaming data, such as the percentage of Registered Users actively streaming content on the SVOD Service; the average number of concurrent streams and registered Approved Devices used by actively streaming Registered Users; (3) the percentage of Registered Users who during the applicable reporting period have registered with such Registered User’s account more than six (6) Approved Devices (including any Approved Devices which are de-registered during such period); and (4) such other information that Licensor may reasonably request from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree to meet no less than two (2) times during each calendar year to discuss any additional reporting requirements, including information related to fraud heuristics. Licensee represents and warrants that it shall not, commencing on the Effective Date and throughout the remainder of the Term, disadvantage Licensor with respect to reporting by providing to any other Major Studio licensor with an SVOD license agreement in the Territory materially greater, relevant reporting information than provided to Licensor hereunder. [RE-instated.]

13.[16.] TERMINATION.

and to retain such monies, it being acknowledged that Licensee’s material obligations hereunder include full, non-refundable payment of 100% of the license fees described in this Agreement regardless of any early termination of this Agreement due to a Licensee Termination Event unless expressly provided otherwise herein. [#Re-instated.]. Whether or not Licensor exercises such right of termination, Licensor shall, upon the occurrence of any Licensee Event of Default (as defined below), have no further obligation to deliver Copies or Advertising Materials to Licensee and Licensor shall have the right to require Licensee to immediately return all Copies [#Additional Copies as required] and Advertising Materials to Licensor. In addition to any and all other remedies in respect of a Licensee Event of Default which Licensor may have under applicable law, Licensor shall be entitled to recover from Licensee all payments past due from Licensee to Licensor hereunder, together with interest, compounded monthly, at the lesser of 2% above the prime rate of interest announced by Bank of America at such time or the maximum rate permitted by law, plus reasonable outside attorney fees, and all costs and expenses, including collection agency fees, incurred by Licensor to enforce the provisions thereof. Furthermore, upon a Licensee Event of Default, Licensor shall have the right to immediately suspend delivery of all Included Programs and Advertising Materials with respect thereto and/or suspend Licensee’s right to exploit any Included Programs, licensed hereunder, without prejudice to any of its other rights hereunder. As used herein, a “Licensee Event of Default” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (A) Licensee (x) fails to timely perform or breaches any of its material obligations hereunder or otherwise materially breaches this Agreement, (y) fails to make timely payment of fees under this Agreement or (z) assigns or otherwise transfers this Agreement in violation of this Agreement; or (B) upon (i) Licensee becoming unable to pay its debts; (ii) a petition being presented or a meeting being convened for the purpose of considering a resolution for the making of an administration order, the winding-up, bankruptcy or dissolution of Licensee; (iii) Licensee becoming insolvent; (iv) a petition under any bankruptcy or analogous act being filed by or against Licensee (which petition, if filed against Licensee, shall not have been dismissed by the relevant authority within 60 days thereafter); (v) Licensee executing an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (vi) a receiver being appointed for the assets of Licensee; (vii) Licensee taking advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or any other like statute; or (viii) the occurrence of any event analogous to the foregoing. As used herein a “Licensee Termination Event” shall mean: (I) the occurrence of a curable Licensee Event of Default described in subclause (A) above that Licensee has failed to cure within 30 days written notice from Licensor of the occurrence of such default; (II) the occurrence of a non-curable Licensee Event of Default described in subclause (A)(z) above; (III) the occurrence of a Licensee Event of Default described in subclause (B) above; and (IV) the occurrence of breach by Licensee of its confidentiality obligations under Clause 23.

13.1.[16.2.] Subject to Clause 16.3, in the event Licensor materially defaults in the performance of any of its material obligations hereunder or Licensor becomes insolvent, or a petition under any bankruptcy act shall be filed by or against Licensor (which petition, if filed against Licensor, shall not have been dismissed within 60 days thereafter), or Licensor executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver is appointed for the assets of Licensor, or Licensor takes advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization or any other like statute (each of the above acts is hereinafter referred to as a “Licensor Event of Default”), and Licensor fails to cure

such Licensor Event of Default within 30 days after delivery by Licensee to Licensor of written notice of such Licensor Event of Default, then Licensee may, in addition to any and all other rights which it may have against Licensor, immediately terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Licensor.

13.2.[16.3.] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Clauses 16.1 or 16.2 hereof, no termination of this Agreement for any reason shall relieve or discharge, or be deemed or construed as relieving or discharging, any party hereto from any duty, obligation or liability hereunder which was accrued as of the date of such termination (including, without limitation, the obligation to pay any amounts payable hereunder accrued as of such date of termination).

14.[17.] ASSIGNMENT. Subject to Clause 2.2, Licensee may assign this Agreement to a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Licensee or to a person or entity which is under common control with Licensee (the term “control” meaning the power to unilaterally direct the policies and management of Licensee, whether through the ownership of voting securities or otherwise), but in no event an unaffiliated third party, that in each case is a U.S. legal entity (or which is a legal entity of any country in which any assignee of Licensor, if any, is formed) and that does not have a tax presence in any other country provided further that such assignment shall not release Licensee from any of its obligations hereunder. Licensee shall provide Licensor with prompt written notice of any such assignment, which notice shall include the assignee’s name and address, and the assigned territories. Other than explicitly set forth in the first two sentences of this Clause 17, Licensee shall not sell, assign, sublicense, subdistribute, transfer, mortgage, pledge or hypothecate this Agreement or any rights or licenses thereunder in whole or in part, or delegate any of its duties or obligations hereunder, without obtaining the prior written consent of Licensor, nor shall any of the Agreement or said rights or licenses be assigned or transferred or duties delegated by Licensee to any third party by operation of law (including, without limitation, by merger, consolidation or Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) or otherwise. A “Change of Control” shall occur: (i) with respect to a party that is a Public Company (as defined herein), if as a result of any event (including but not limited to any stock acquisition, acquisition of securities convertible into or exchangeable for voting securities, merger, consolidation or reorganization) any one or more persons or entities who together beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 20% of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such party immediately prior to such event (the “Public Company Controlling Shareholder(s)”) together fail to own, after such event, more than 20% of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such party (or any successor, resulting or ultimate parent company or entity of such party, as the case may be, as a result of such event); or (ii) with respect to a party which is not a Public Company (as defined herein), if as a result of any event (including but not limited to any stock acquisition, acquisition of securities convertible into or exchangeable for voting securities, merger, consolidation or reorganization) any one or more persons or entities who together beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such party immediately prior to such event (the “Non-Public Company Controlling Shareholder(s)”) together fail to own, after such event, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such party (or any successor, resulting or ultimate parent company or entity of such party, as the case may be, as a result of such event). “Public Company” means any company or entity (i) whose securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii)

18.[21.] GOVERNING LAW/ARBITRATION. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to the choice of law principles thereof. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including but not limited to its enforcement, arbitrability or interpretation shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration, to be held in Los Angeles County, California, before a single arbitrator, in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1280 et seq. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, then the arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS/Endispute. The arbitration shall be a confidential proceeding, closed to the general public. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award is based. The parties will share equally in payment of the arbitrator’s fees and arbitration expenses and any other costs unique to the arbitration hearing (recognizing that each side bears its own deposition, witness, expert and attorney’s fees and other expenses to the same extent as if the matter were being heard in court). Nothing in this Clause 21 shall affect either party’s ability to seek from a court injunctive or equitable relief at any time.

19.[22.] FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party shall in any manner whatsoever be liable or otherwise responsible for any delay or default in, or failure of performance resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any Event of Force Majeure, and no such delay, default in, or failure of performance shall constitute a breach by either party hereunder.

20.[23.] CONFIDENTIALITY. Other than as may be required by law, or governmental authority, or to enforce its rights hereunder, and subject to the following sentence, neither party shall, without the express written consent of the other, publicly divulge or announce, or in any manner disclose to any third party, other than its attorneys, advisors, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, accountants, parent entities or auditors, profit participants, or pursuant to Guild obligations (each of whom shall be subject to the confidentiality provision hereof) on a need-to-know basis, any of the specific terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the License Fees payable hereunder and any reporting information provided pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Neither party shall issue any press release regarding the existence of or terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Licensor acknowledges and agrees that, in order for Licensee to operate and maintain the SVOD Service in the Territory or otherwise host, serve, exhibit and distribute Included Programs in the Territory, Licensee may use the communications, hosting, data processing and/or fulfillment services of third parties; provided, however,

that Licensee will remain, in all respects, directly and primarily liable to Licensor for all of Licensee’s obligations hereunder and for all acts and omissions of such third parties, including any breach of this Agreement, or acts or omissions, which if taken by Licensee, would be a breach of this Agreement.

[25.] AUDIT. Licensee shall keep and maintain complete and accurate books of account and records at its principal place of business in connection with each of the Included Programs and pertaining to Licensee’s compliance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, copies of the reports referred to in Clause 15 hereof for a period of two (2) years after termination or expiration of this Agreement. Licensor shall have the right, exercisable no more than once per calendar year, on no less than five (5) days written notice to Licensee, and at a time and place to be mutually agreed upon by Licensor and Licensee, to audit and check Licensee’s books and records pertaining to the accuracy of the statements and other financial information delivered to Licensor by Licensee and the amount of the License Fees paid or payable hereunder. The exercise by Licensor of any right to audit or the acceptance by Licensor of any statement or payment, whether or not the subject of an audit, shall not bar Licensor from thereafter asserting a claim for any balance due, and Licensee shall remain fully liable for any balance due under the terms of this Agreement. If the good faith undisputed results of an examination establishes an error in Licensee’s computation of License Fees due with respect to the Included Programs, Licensee shall immediately pay the amount of underpayment, plus interest thereon from the date such payment was originally due at a rate equal to the lesser of 2% above the prime rate of interest announced by Bank of America at such time or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If such error is in excess of 10% of such License Fees due for the period covered by such audit, Licensee shall, in addition to making immediate payment of the additional License Fees due plus interest in accordance with the previous sentence, pay to Licensor (i) the costs and expenses incurred by Licensor for any audit, and (ii) reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Licensor in enforcing the collection thereof. [#Re-instated.]

[26.] SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, each of which shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein.

22.[27.] COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

23.[28.] NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. This Agreement is entered into for the express benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns and is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to create in any other natural person, corporation, company, and/or any other entity whatsoever any rights or interest whatsoever, including, without limitation, any right to enforce the terms hereof.

24.[29.] LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Neither party shall be liable to the other for special, consequential or incidental losses or for lost profits.

25.[30.] PRESUMPTIONS. In interpreting the terms and conditions of this Agreement, no presumption shall be interpreted for or against a party as a result of the role of such party or such party’s counsel in the drafting of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE B

CONTENT PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS AND OBLIGATIONS

1. Content Protection System. All Included Programs delivered by Licensee to, output from or stored on an Approved Device must be protected by a content protection system that includes digital rights management, conditional access systems and digital output protection (such system, the “Content Protection System”). The Content Protection System shall (i) be fully compliant with all the compliance and robustness rules set forth in this Schedule B, and (ii) use only those rights settings, if applicable, set forth in this Schedule B or that are otherwise approved in writing by Licensor. Upgrades to or new versions of the Content Protection System that would materially and negatively affect the protection provided to Included Programs shall be approved in writing by Licensor.

1.1. Explicitly Prohibited. For the avoidance of doubt.

1.1.1. Unencrypted streaming of Included Programs is prohibited.

1.1.2. Unencrypted downloads of Included Programs is prohibited.

1.1.3. All Included Programs shall be transmitted and stored in a secure encrypted form. Included Programs shall never be transmitted to or between devices in unencrypted form.

1.2. Approved Protection Systems. The following protection systems are approved, with the conditions shown, as part of the Content Protection System, provided that Licensor shall have the right to withdraw its approval of a subsequent release by its publisher of any such protection system, upon reasonable advance written notice, in the event that release materially and negatively alters such protection system such that such protection system no longer enforces the relevant provisions of this Schedule B or the Usage Rules:

1.2.1. Windows Media DRM 10 (and any successor and/or update thereto that maintains a level of robustness that is equal to or greater than the robustness as of the Effective Date). Windows Media DRM 10 is NOT approved for the delivery of Included Programs in High Definition to Software Devices;

1.2.2. Silverlight Powered by PlayReady and/or PlayReady (Windows Media DRM 11)( and any successor and/or update thereto that maintains a level of robustness that is equal to or greater than the robustness as of the Effective Date);

1.2.3. Widevine Cypher 4.2 DRM (and any successor and/or update thereto that maintains a level of robustness that is equal to or greater than the robustness as of the Effective Date);

1.2.4. Advanced Access Content Systems (“AACS”) specification version 0.95 (and any successor and/or update thereto that maintains a level of robustness that is equal to or greater than the robustness as of the Effective Date). AACS is NOT approved for the delivery of Included Programs in High Definition to Software Devices;

1.2.5. Marlin Broadband v1.2.2 DRM in compliance with the Marlin Trust Management Organization’s robustness and compliance rules (and any successor and/or update thereto that maintains a level of robustness that is equal to or greater than the robustness as of the Effective Date);

1.2.6. Adobe Flash Access 2.0 (and any successor and/or update thereto that maintains a level of robustness that is equal to or greater than the robustness as of the Effective Date);

1.2.7. Apple FairPlay (and any successor and/or update thereto that maintains a level of robustness that is equal to or greater than the robustness as of the Effective Date) but solely with respect to iOS devices; and/or

Page 47: wikileaks.orgDeals... · Web viewSUBSCRIPTION VIDEO-ON-DEMAND LICENSE AGREEMENT. THIS SUBSCRIPTION VIDEO-ON-DEMAND LICENSE AGREEMENT (this . Agreement ”), dated as of ____________,

1.2.8. SSL Transport Layer Content Protection. For streaming only to Approved Devices other than personal computers, Licensee will use a system with SSL providing encryption and integrity protection of content where: (a) SSL shall be either Secure Socket Layer version 3 (SSLv3) or Transport Layer Security version 1 (TLSv1) or later transport layer security protocols;(b) clients shall be uniquely identifiable; (c) mutual authentication shall be provided by X.509 certificate based authentication, token based authentication or both; and (d) content protection shall be ensured by securing content keys using hardware resources and/or industry strength tamper resistance.

SSL Transport Layer Content Protection is NOT approved for the delivery of Included Programs in High Definition to Software Devices.

1.2.9. “http live streaming” (HLS) protocol. Licensor’s classification of http live streaming as an Approved Protection System is only temporary and Licensee shall migrate from use of http live streaming (implementations of which are not governed by any compliance and robustness rules nor any legal framework ensuring implementations meet these rules) to use of an industry accepted DRM or secure streaming method which is governed by compliance and robustness rules and an associated legal framework, by end March 31st, 2012. “http live streaming” is NOT approved for the delivery of Included Programs in High Definition to Software Devices.

1.3. High Definition Requirements (Both Hardware and Software Devices)

1.3.1. All firmware responsible for content protection must be validated for origin using digital signature validation or some other cryptographically secure validation mechanism (such as AES-128 encryption, CMAC using 128 bit or higher security encryption, HMAC using 128 bit or higher security, etc) before any firmware update is applied. Additionally, Licensee recommends Approved Device manufacturers implement secure boot.

1.3.2. Systems must not allow unencrypted video signals on busses accessible by users using widely available tools. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent Licensor makes Included Programs available in High Definition for exhibition on Approved Devices that are Software Devices, this Clause 1.3.2 will apply to Software Devices.

1.4. Requirements for HD delivery to Software Devices. The requirements below shall apply for the delivery of HD Included Films to Software Devices. . [TW: we need a call with NF on these then. The resintatements in 1.4.3 and 1.4.4 just don’t make any sense. And for our insertions below, we need to see what NF do not like about them, apart from the fact that they weren’t in the original agreement. I wouldn’t be surprised if NF didn’t review our changes with their technical teams at all but just reverted to the original language as a first step.]

1.4.1. Allowed Platforms

1.4.1.1. HD content for Software Devices is only allowed on the device platforms (operating system, Content Protection System, and device hardware, where appropriate) specified elsewhere in this Agreement. [SPE: we are reinstating but know that Netflix’s Mitch Zollinger will propose an alternative requirement for this]

1.4.2. Robust Implementation

1.4.2.1. Implementations of Approved Protection Systems on Software Devices shall use hardware-enforced security mechanisms, including trusted execution environments, where reasonably possible.

1.4.2.2. Implementation of Approved Protection Systems on Software Devices shall, in all cases, use state of the art obfuscation mechanisms or trusted execution

environments for the security sensitive parts of the software implementing the Content Protection System. [SPE: we are reinstating 1.4.2.1 and 1.4.2.2 but know that Netflix’s Mitch Zollinger will propose alternative requirements here for us to discuss]

1.4.2.3. All Software Devices deployed by Licensee after end December 31st, 2013, SHALL support  hardware-enforced security mechanisms, including trusted execution environments and secure boot. For the avoidance of doubt, this requirement applies to actual, physical devices which are deployed to Subscribers by Licensee only and does not apply to software Playback Clients or Applications distributed by Licensee. [SPE: we have resinstated but proposed a clarification which we hope will meet Netflix concerns here]

1.4.3. For avoidance of doubt, HD content may only be output in accordance with Clause “Digital Outputs” above unless stated explicitly otherwise below.

1.4.4. If an HDCP connection cannot be established, as required by Clause “Digital Outputs” above, the playback of Included Programs over an output on a Software Device (either digital or analogue) must be limited to a resolution no greater than Standard Definition (SD). Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as Licensee receives an affirmative response that HDCP is engaged, Licensee may deliver an Included Program in HD.

1.4.5. [SPE: we have reinstated our position here. This topic was discussed in the technical call. #As this service was not in existence before December 31st, 2012, there can be no devices registered before that date, so this exception does not apply]

1.4.6. With respect to playback in HD over analog outputs on Software Devices, Licensee shall either (i) prohibit the playback of such HD content over all analogue outputs on all such Software Device or (ii) ensure that the playback of such content over analogue outputs on all such Software Device is limited to a resolution no greater than SD.

1.4.7. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, if Licensee is not in compliance with this Clause, then, upon Licensor’s written request, Licensee will temporarily disable the availability of Included Programs in HD via the Licensee service within thirty (30) days following Licensee becoming aware of such non-compliance or Licensee’s receipt of written notice of such non-compliance from Licensor until such time as Licensee is in compliance with this Clause “Requirements for HD delivery to Software Devices”; provided that:

1.4.7.1. if Licensee can robustly distinguish between Software Devices that are in compliance with this Clause “Requirements for HD delivery to Software Devices”, and Software Devices which are not in compliance, Licensee may continue the availability of Included Programs in HD for Software Devices that it reliably and justifiably knows are in compliance but is required to disable the availability of Included Programs in HD via the Licensee service for all other Software Devices, and

1.4.7.2. in the event that Licensee becomes aware of non-compliance with this Clause, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor thereof; provided that Licensee shall not be required to provide Licensor notice of any third party hacks to HDCP.

1.4.8. Secure Video Paths:

The video portion of unencrypted content shall not be present on any user-accessible bus in any analog or unencrypted, compressed form. In the event such unencrypted, uncompressed content is transmitted over a user-accessible bus in digital form, such content shall be either limited to standard definition (720 X 480 or 720 X 576), or made reasonably secure from unauthorized interception.

1.4.9. Secure Content Decryption.document.docx48

1.4.9.1. Decryption of (i) content protected by the Content Protection System and (ii) CSPs (as defined in Clause 2.1 below) related to the Content Protection System shall take place in an isolated processing environment such that decrypted content and CSPs are protected at all times in the device, including during transmission to the graphics card for rendering, from attack from other software processes on the device. “CSPs” shall mean keys, passwords, and any other information that are critical to the security robustness of the Content Protection System.

2. Outputs.

2.1. For Approved Devices with respect to which Licensee exercises sole control over design and manufacturing, if any, such devices shall limit analog outputs to a maximum resolution of 1080i and shall not permit analog outputs at a resolution of 1080p or greater.

2.2. [#No longer require CGMS-A]

2.3. The Content Protection System shall prohibit digital output of unprotected, unencrypted Included Programs. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Clause 2.4A, the Content Protection System may allow a digital signal to be output if it is protected and encrypted by High Definition Copy Protection (“HDCP”) or Digital Transmission Copy Protection (“DTCP”). Further, the Content Protection System may implement (i) Digital Video Interface version 1.0 (“DVI”) without HDCP and allow only standard definition or scaled standard definition output on such interface on personal computer platforms in accordance with the allowances for DVI outputs through the DVD-CCA and/or (ii) an exception for unprotected analog and digital outputs to allow only standard definition or scaled standard definition output on such interface on personal computer platforms in accordance with the allowances for analog and digital outputs through the DVD-CCA; provided, however, that in the event that the DVD-CCA authorizes an exception to current or future DVD-CCA allowances for any such output for personal computer manufacturers, Licensor acknowledges and agrees that Licensee shall be entitled to the benefit of such exception. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Content Protection System may allow High Definition content to be output via a digital output only if it is protected by HDCP or DTCP. Defined terms used but not otherwise defined in this Clause 2.4 shall have the meanings given them in the DTCP or HDCP license agreements, as applicable.

2.3.1. An Approved Device that outputs decrypted Included Programs provided pursuant to the Agreement using DTCP shall:

2.3.1.1. Deliver system renewability messages to the source function;

2.3.1.2. Map the copy control information associated with the program; the copy control information shall be set to “copy never” in the corresponding encryption mode indicator and copy control information field of the descriptor;

2.3.1.3. Map the analog protection system (“APS”) bits associated with the program to the APS field of the descriptor;

2.3.1.4. Set the image_constraint_token field of the descriptor as authorized by the corresponding license administrator;

2.3.1.5. Set the eligible non-conditional access delivery field of the descriptor as authorized by the corresponding license administrator;

2.3.1.6. Set the retention state field of the descriptor as authorized by the corresponding license administrator;

2.3.1.7. Deliver system renewability messages from time to time obtained from the corresponding license administrator in a protected manner; and

2.3.1.8. Perform such additional functions as may be required by Licensor to effectuate the appropriate content protection functions of these protected digital outputs.

2.3.2. An Approved Device that outputs decrypted Included Programs provided pursuant to the Agreement using HDCP shall:

2.3.2.1. If requested by Licensor and if supported by a particular platform, deliver a file associated with the Included Programs named “HDCP.SRM” and, if present, pass such file to the HDCP source function in the set-top box as a System Renewability Message; and

2.3.2.2. Verify that the HDCP Source Function is fully engaged and able to deliver the Included Programs in a protected form, which means:

2.3.2.2.1. HDCP encryption is operational on such output,

2.3.2.2.2. Processing of the System Renewability Message associated with the Included Programs, if any, has occurred as defined in the HDCP Specification, and

2.3.2.2.3. There is no HDCP Display Device or Repeater on such output whose Key Selection Vector is in such System Renewability Message.

2.4A Exception Clause for Standard Definition, Uncompressed Digital Outputs on Windows-based PCs, Macs running OS X or higher and PCs running Chrome OS with a Widevine DRM described in Clause 1.2.3): HDCP must be enabled on all uncompressed digital outputs (e.g. HDMI, Display Port), unless the customer’s system cannot support HDCP.

2.4. In the event that Licensor provides to any entity to whom it licenses in the Territory, feature films or television programming with similar or earlier windows as the Included Programs licensed to Licensee hereunder an exception or allowance to any digital output requirement set forth herein, and such entity's content protection system, delivery mechanism and usage model are comparable to Licensee's, as reasonably determined by Licensor, Licensor will discuss in good faith with Licensee whether such an allowance would apply to Licensee hereunder.

2.5. The Content Protection System shall prohibit recording, transfer or copying of protected Included Programs onto recordable or removable media except as explicitly provided for in the Usage Rules.

2.6. The Content Protection System shall prohibit recording, transfer or copying of Included Programs onto external devices except as explicitly provided for in the usage rules or the definition of Approved Device.

2.7. For Approved Devices with High Definition output capability, standard definition Included Programs will be delivered to the device at a pixel resolution no greater than 345,600 visible pixels (in the case of NTSC), or 414,720 visible pixels (in the case of PAL), but the applicable Approved Device may up-scale such Included Programs to High Definition resolutions while maintaining all relevant output protections; provided that Licensee shall not advertise or represent the exhibition of such standard definition Included Programs as “high definition”.

2.8. High Definition streams (for Included Programs authorized by Licensor for transmission in High Definition) shall run up to a pixel resolution of 2,073,600 visible pixels delivered at a variety of bit-rates, up to a maximum of 10Mbps average bit rate.

3. Watermarking Requirements.

3.1. The Content Protection System must not remove or interfere with any embedded watermarks in any Included Program; provided, however, that nominal alteration, modification or degradation of such embedded watermarks during the ordinary course of Licensee’s encoding, encryption and/or distribution of Included Programs shall not be a breach of this Clause 3.1.

4. Geofiltering.
