Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Licensor shall have the right to terminate (a) Hulu’s right to use a Promotional Preview on a case-by-case basis if Licensor reasonably believes that such Promotional Preview may violate the terms of any guild, union, or collective bargaining agreements to which Licensor or its affiliates is or becomes a party, or may adversely affect Licensor’s material relations with the parties to such agreements. Licensor shall give Hulu written notice of any such termination, in which event Hulu shall cease using the applicable Promotional Preview(s) as soon as reasonably possible using good faith efforts, but in any event within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice.

(c) Hulu shall not transmit, exhibit or deliver the Licensed Content in an up-converted resolution. Hulu shall not transmit, exhibit or deliver the Licensed Content in a down-converted resolution, except (i) to down-convert 1080p files to the maximum resolution supported on the Licensed Service (currently 720p) and (ii) as otherwise necessary for adaptive streaming or where the maximum resolution of an Approved Device requires such down conversion, provided that any such down conversion shall maintain the aspect ratio of the applicable materials provided by Licensor . Subject to Section (d) , Licensor retains, and shall have the right to license or authorize any third party to license, exhibit, distribute or otherwise exploit, all rights not expressly granted to Hulu herein, including, but not limited to, theatrical, non-theatrical (e.g. airplanes, buses and libraries), home video, free television, basic cable television, pay television, so-called electronic sell through, pay-per-view, pay-per-day, near-video-on-demand and pay-per-transaction on demand.

(b) Until September 1, 2013, Licensor will not license any Licensed Content to any television network or service (including any linear free television network; non-premium, cable television network; or premium pay television service) in the Territory for linear television exploitation, other than (i) in connection with the Network Agreement and (ii) the once-per-week exhibition of two (2) back-to-back Non-Currents (A) by means of local broadcast syndication and/or (B) non-premium cable television.

(c) Commencing on September 1, 2013, Licensor may license Non-Currents to any television networks, stations and/or services for linear television exploitation. In each such event, Licensor may also license up to the ADVOD Maximum (as defined in Exhibit A) number of episodes at any one time of such content (i) on a Streaming, ADVOD Basis to the principal website(s) that are wholly owned or controlled by each such television network or service (e.g. NBC.com, TBS.com) and (ii) for Authenticated Viewing on a Streaming, ADVOD Basis to the authentication-protected principal website that is wholly owned or controlled by a multi-channel video programming distributor and that is primarily focused on replicating such multi-channel video programming distributor’s linear service (e.g. xfinity.com)) if such television programming network has entered into an authentication agreement with such multi-channel video programming distributor; provided, however, that the rights granted by Licensor to Hulu for exploitation of Licensed Content on an ADVOD Basis will always be equal to or more favorable than the rights granted to such third parties (i.e. when considering the number of episodes exploited, availability windows, etc.).

2.3 Withdrawal of Licensed Content . Licensor will have the right to withdraw a particular piece of Licensed Content in the event that its rights to such Licensed Content expire or Licensor in good faith determines there is a bona fide rights or other legal issue; provided, however, that Licensor also withdraws such Licensed Content from any other distributors distributing such content on a VOD basis in the Territory. Hulu’s payment obligations with respect to any withdrawn piece of Licensed Content will cease as of the date of withdrawal and resume only when such piece of Licensed Content is no longer subject to a bona fide rights or other legal issue and is made available on the Licensed Services in accordance with the terms and conditions herein.

2.4 Additional License Grants . Licensor hereby further grants to Hulu a non-exclusive right and license to:

(a) reproduce, distribute, perform and display Licensor’s logos, trade names, trademarks, and service marks (collectively, “Licensor Marks”); and

Hulu covenants and warrants that (i) it shall not modify, edit or make any changes to the Promotional Materials without Licensor’s prior written consent , which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (ii) names and likenesses of the characters, persons and other entities appearing in or connected with the production of Licensed Content (“Names and Likenesses”) shall not be used separate and apart from the Promotional Materials; and (iii) Promotional Materials, Names and Likenesses, and Licensed Content shall not be used so as to constitute an endorsement or testimonial, express or implied, of any party, product or service, including, without limitation, the Licensed Services, Hulu, or any program service or other service provided by Hulu; nor shall the same be used as part of a commercial tie-in without Licensor’s prior written consent. Any promotional contests or giveaways to be conducted by Hulu that identifies Licensed Content or includes Promotional Materials shall require the prior written consent of Licensor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall be used only in accordance with Licensor’s instructions. The rights granted in this Section 2.4 shall be subject to, and Hulu shall comply with, any and all restrictions or regulations of any applicable guild or union with respect to the advertising and billing of the Licensed Content provided Licensor advises Hulu of such in writing.

SECTION 3. LICENSE FEE.

3.1 License Fee . In consideration for the licenses granted in Section 2. hereto, Hulu will pay the License Fees on the payment terms set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.

3.2 Taxes .

(a) Hulu shall be solely responsible to determine, collect, bear, remit, pay, and shall hold Licensor forever harmless from and against, any and all taxes, payments or fees, including sales, use, value-added, consumption, excise, gross receipts or other similar taxes (“Sales Taxes”) and interest and penalties on any such taxes, but excluding (i) income, franchise or similar taxes imposed on or measured by the net income, net profits or capital of Licensor, and franchise branch profits and similar taxes imposed on Licensor by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of a connection between Licensor and such jurisdiction or political subdivision, and (ii) any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to Licensor that Hulu is required to pay by any governmental taxing authority or otherwise under applicable law that are now or hereafter imposed, levied or claimed against Hulu based upon Hulu's licensing, rental, importation, delivery, exhibition, possession, distribution or use hereunder to or by Hulu of the Licensed Content or any print, Copy or Advertising Materials of or related to the Licensed Content (all such non-excluded taxes, “Non-Excluded Taxes”). All prices and payments stated herein shall be exclusive of and made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes. If a deduction or withholding is required by applicable law, Hulu shall: (i) withhold the legally required amount from payment; (ii) remit such amount to the applicable taxing authority; and (iii) deliver to Licensor original documentation or a certified copy evidencing such payment. The parties agree that as of the Effective Date, based on the original contracting parties and currently applicable law, no withholding is required on License fee payments from Hulu to Licensor and no Sales Taxes are required to be collected from Hulu by Licensor or paid by Licensor on Hulu’s behalf. However, this conclusion could be affected by changes in the contracting parties or applicable law.

(b) If Hulu’s assignment of this Agreement, other than an assignment pursuant to Section 15.1, causes an increased rate of tax withholding or deduction to apply to the payments to Licensor, then

7

Page 8: CONTENT LICENSE AGREEMENT - WikiLeaksDeals/Hulu... · “Streaming” means the transmission of content over the internet (including internet delivery via a cellular network) for

the gross amount payable by Hulu to Licensor shall be increased so that after such deduction or withholding, the net amount received by Licensor will not be less than Licensor would have received had Hulu not made the assignment.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Hulu shall indemnify Licensor for and hold it harmless against any and all Non-Excluded Taxes paid by Licensor. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Licensor will bear, pay and discharge all taxes, fees, assessments, duties, levies and burdens, other than Non-Excluded Taxes, arising out of this Agreement or the payment of the license fee set forth in Section 3.1, and shall indemnify Hulu to the extent Hulu becomes liable for any such amounts and any interest and penalties thereon.

(d) Licensor shall provide Hulu with a duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 prior to the payment of any License Fees. In addition, Licensor shall provide any other form, documentation or information reasonably requested by Hulu as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in any United States withholding tax or other tax, including Sales Taxes. Hulu shall not be obligated to pay any amounts in addition to the License Fees (or make an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 3.2(c)) to Licensor to the extent the obligation to pay such additional amounts (or such indemnification) would not have arisen but for a failure of Licensor to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.2(d).

SECTION 4. CONTENT DISPLAY AND DELIVERY. [pending WPF review]

4.1 Licensor Content Delivery Obligations .

(a) Promptly following execution of this Agreement, and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth under the caption “Delivery Obligations” on Exhibit A, Licensor will deliver at its expense the Licensed Content per the specifications set forth in the content partner guidebook (that has been provided to Licensor, and as may be updated from time-to-time by Hulu; provided, however, that the parties will work together in good faith to address any concerns Licensor may have regarding compliance with any such updates) and all Promotional Materials and metadata associated with the Licensed Content in accordance with the encoding instructions and other specifications provided by Hulu.

(b) Licensor may provide, via metadata, e-commerce promotion, which will appear along with the Licensed Content, to the extent required by third party obligations (such as guild or union rules).

Except as expressly set forth in the preceding sentences,, all Licensed Content will be delivered to Hulu free of any: (i) advertising or promotional messaging, including any bumpers, end cards or other messages that promote the Licensed Content, any other content, Licensor’s website, or any other online property (such as “call outs” to Licensors’ or third party websites) and (ii) bugs, burn-ins, crawls, or other on-screen identifiers except to the extent included in the original linear exhibition of Licensed Content.

(c) Licensor will deliver masters of the Licensed Content in 1080p quality with Dolby 5.1 audio for all content for which such masters are available. For any Licensed Content not produced in 1080p, Licensor will deliver masters of such Licensed Content in the highest existing quality.

Hulu shall use good faith efforts to classify the Licensed Content within one or more of the available genres/categories in an appropriate manner. Licensor shall have the right at any time to object to a classification of the Licensed Content that is, in the sole and good faith judgment of Licensor, derogatory or inappropriate, and to require Hulu to promptly reclassify such Licensed Content in the genres/categories designated by Licensor.

(c) Hulu may elect not to display, reproduce or distribute any or all of the Licensed Content, upon a reasonable determination by Hulu that any of the Licensed Content may be the subject of a legal issue or claim or is otherwise inconsistent with Hulu’s brand, standards, or practices.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Blind Basis” means that such sales are conducted in a manner with no commitment for the advertiser in terms of any specific show, series, channel or brand on which the advertisement will appear, but for clarity such sales may be conducted by referring to, for example (i) genres, groups or categories of shows or series, including illustrative (but not committed) lists of shows or series included or (ii) demographic, psychographic or behavioral factors.

(b) Subject to availability of such inventory and the terms and conditions set forth in Hulu’s buyback program guide (that has been provided to Licensor, and as may be updated from time to time by Hulu), Licensor will have the option to purchase and sell up to twenty percent (20%) of the Licensed Content Advertising Inventory (defined below) for each calendar month of the Term.

Licensor must elect to exercise such option at least two (2) months prior to the beginning of the month in which Licensor intends to purchase such Licensed Content Advertising Inventory. For purposes of this Agreement, “Licensed Content Advertising Inventory” will mean advertisements served within the Hulu video player as part of Licensed Content and the “companion” banner (if any) displayed directly adjacent to the Hulu video player while Licensed Content is being played.

(c) The price of the Licensed Content Advertising Inventory charged by Hulu to Licensor will be equal to the average price for all non-remnant like-advertising inventory for all Non-Currents sold in connection with the Licensed Services during the one-month period immediately preceding the month in which Licensor elects to exercise its purchase option. Once Licensor elects to exercise its option, Licensor will be obligated to pay Hulu the purchase price based on the total quantity of Licensed Content Advertising Inventory that Licensor elected to purchase (i.e., whether or not Licensor actually sells all of such inventory), except that Licensor will not have to pay for impressions which are not delivered due to lack of inventory. The amounts due hereunder will be invoiced to and payable by Licensor within sixty (60) days after the end of each of Hulu’s calendar quarters.

(d) Hulu agrees, and shall ensure, that advertising inventory controlled or displayed by Hulu that are located, displayed, promoted, presented for playback or exhibited within the video player or on pages on which the Licensed Content appears on the Licensed Services, or are located, displayed, promoted, presented for playback or exhibited comply with the guidelines set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto, or other guidelines that Licensor may identify to Hulu in writing from time to time ; provided, however, that the parties will work together in good faith to address any concerns Hulu may have regarding compliance with any such other guidelines. All advertising inventory controlled and displayed by Hulu on pages of the Licensed Services that include the Licensed Content shall be consistent with advertisements displayed elsewhere on such service in terms of frequency, type and placement. Hulu shall not, and shall not authorize or encourage any third party to, directly or indirectly generate queries, impressions of or clicks on any advertising inventory, including, without limitation, by means of automated, deceptive, fraudulent or other invalid means, repeated manual clicks, use of robots or other automated query tools or computer generated search requests.

SECTION 5. THIRD PARTY PAYMENTS.

5.1 Music Publishing Public Performance Rights Payments . As between Hulu and Licensor, Hulu will be responsible for paying any payments for music publishing public performance rights license fees due in connection with the display, reproduction and distribution of the musical compositions in the Licensed Content on the Licensed Service for which the public performance rights are controlled by any organizations that are authorized to collect such royalties on behalf of rights holders in the Territory, including, without limitation, Broadcast Music Inc. (“BMI”), the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (“ASCAP”), and SESAC, Inc. (“SESAC”); provided, however, that Licensor will provide Hulu with all cue sheets necessary for Hulu to comply with the terms of this Section 5.1 and Licensor shall provide notice to Hulu if public performance royalties are payable to any societies beyond the three listed above.

5.2 Other Rights Payments . Licensor will be responsible for paying all other rights royalties and license fees related to any musical compositions and/or sound recordings in the Licensed Content, including all royalties and license fees due in connection with so-called synchronization rights and mechanical rights. As between Hulu and Licensor, Licensor will be responsible for (a) accounting for and/or making any payments to third party participants in the proceeds of the Licensed Content and to persons appearing in or rendering services in connection therewith and (b) all guild payments or residuals payable with respect to the Licensed Content.

SECTION 6. RATINGS AND ANTIPIRACY.

6.1 Ratings .

6.2 Hulu shall display anti-piracy warnings provided by Licensor on an appropriate page of the Licensed Services.

6.3 Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce takedown notices on services such as YouTube and other unauthorized sites and proactively take down any videos of episodes of the Licensed Content that appear on such services during their License Periods of which Licensor is aware.

SECTION 7. PROGRAMMING.

7.1 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Hulu agrees that (i) no more than twenty (20%) of the programming available on each Licensed Service shall be Adult Programs during the term hereof; (ii) no Adult Program shall be exhibited, promoted or listed on the same or previous screen (other than the home page of a Licensed Service, which may contain a textual link with a section of the user interface exhibiting, promoting or listing Adult Programs) as a screen on the Licensed Service on which the Licensed Content is promoted or listed; and (iii) no Adult Program will be classified within the same genre/category as any Licensed Content. If Hulu violates the terms of this Section 7.1 with respect to a Licensed Service, then Licensor shall have the right to cause Hulu to immediately cease exploiting any or all Licensed Content. As used herein, “Adult Program” shall mean any motion picture or related promotional content that has either been rated NC-17 (or successor rating, or is unrated and likely would have received an NC-17 rating if it had been submitted to the MPAA for rating), other than a title released by a Qualifying Studio or a title otherwise deemed not to be an Adult Program by Licensor in its sole discretion, or X (or is unrated and likely would have received an X rating if it had been submitted to the MPAA for rating).

7.2 No User Generated Content, other than so-called “online community” features (e.g., end-user comments) shall be displayed, made available or distributed over either Licensed Service during the Term.

SECTION 8. CONTENT PROTECTION AND SECURITY.

8.1 General . Hulu represents and warrants that it has put in place secure and effective, stringent and robust security systems and technologies to prevent theft, pirating, unauthorized exhibition (including, without limitation, unauthorized exhibition to non-Customers and exhibition outside the Territory), unauthorized copying or duplication of any video reproduction or compressed digitized copy of any Licensed Content and that such security systems, procedures and technologies are and shall be no less stringent or robust than those which Hulu employs with respect to content licensed from other licensors or than industry standard. Hulu shall not authorize any use of any video reproduction or compressed digitized copy of any Licensed Content for any purpose other than as is expressly permitted herein.

8.2 Obligation to Monitor for Hacks . Hulu shall take such measures as are reasonably necessary to determine the existence of Security Breaches or Territorial Breaches and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify Licensor if any such occurrences are discovered.

8.3 Suspension Notice . Hulu shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Licensor 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 its Licensed Content on the Licensed Services at any time during the Term in the event of a Security Breach or Territorial Breach by delivering a written notice to the Hulu of such suspension (a “Suspension Notice”). Upon its receipt of a Suspension Notice, Hulu shall take steps immediately to remove the Licensed Content or make the Licensed Content inaccessible from the Licensed Services as soon as commercially feasible (but in no event more than three (3) calendar days after receipt of such notice).

8.4 Reinstatement/Termination . If the cause of the Security Breach that gave rise to a Suspension is corrected, repaired, solved or otherwise addressed in the sole, reasonable judgment of Licensor, the Suspension shall terminate upon written notice from Licensor and Licensor’s obligation to make its Licensed Content available on the Licensed Services shall immediately resume. For clarity, no period of Suspension shall extend the Term in time, and upon a notice that a Suspension has ended, the Term shall end as otherwise provided in the Agreement unless earlier terminated in accordance with another provision of this Agreement. Upon receipt of such written notice, Hulu shall have the right to include the Licensed Content on the Licensed Services as soon thereafter as practicable. If five (5) or more Suspensions occur during the Term, or any single Suspension lasts for a period of three (3) 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 Hulu.2
