Production Services. Section 3.4(b) of the Magazine Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: Effective as of the date of this Amendment and continuing until the third anniversary date hereof, Hearst hereby agrees to purchase from iVillage and iVillage agrees to provide to Hearst, Production Services in the minimum guaranteed amount of five million dollars ($5,000,000) in each consecutive twelve month period (the "Production Commitment"), which services include the creation of Original Site Content and Third Party Work in a manner which is consistent with the quality, performance and cost standards set forth in Exhibit B as provided by Xxxxx.xxx prior to the effective date of this Amendment and as enhanced by the amendments to Exhibit B set forth herein, in order that the Magazine Sites provided for in Exhibit B shall continue to operate in a substantially similar manner as existed prior to the effective date of this Amendment and as enhanced by the amendments to Exhibit B set forth herein. To the extent that in any consecutive twelve month period Hearst requests that modifications be made to the Magazine Sites outlined in Exhibit B and as enhanced by the amendments to Exhibit B set forth herein, which would materially modify or change the Magazine Sites from the manner in which each looks and functions during the period prior to the effective date of this Amendment and as enhanced by the amendments to Exhibit B set forth herein, and such material modifications or changes result in the amount of Production Services performed by iVillage exceeding in any consecutive twelve (12) month period throughout the Term, the sum of five million dollars ($5,000,000) those costs shall be billed to Hearst in addition to the Production Commitment of five million dollars. These Production Services may be performed for the Magazine Sites that are the subject of this Agreement, or for other sites associated with other units, divisions or affiliates of Hearst (the "Hearst Sites"). The precise Production Services to be performed with respect to each Magazine Site and Hearst Site shall be determined by mutual agreement of the parties as soon as reasonably practicable following the mutual execution of this Amendment and shall be consistent with the quality, performance and cost standards provided by Xxxxx.xxx prior to the effective date of this Amendment and as enhanced by the amendments to Exhibit B set forth herein. Until Hearst specifies otherwise, the Production Services shall be performed for the Magazine Sites specified at Exhibit B. A written work order, signed by both parties, shall be issued with respect to all Production Services to be rendered. The quality, performance and cost standards set forth herein with respect to the Magazine Sites shall also apply to any Hearst Sites for which iVillage performs Production Services. Any Original Site Content will be a work made for hire for Hearst as a contribution to a collective work in accordance with 17 USC Sec 101 et. seq. To the extent any Original Site Content may not constitute a work made for hire, iVillage hereby grants and assigns exclusively to Hearst all right, title and interest in and to such Content for the term of copyright. iVillage will use diligent efforts to secure ownership rights to Third Party Work for Hearst. In the event iVillage is not able to secure ownership of Content from any third party for Hearst, it will consult with Hearst and based on Hearst's direction, will either refrain from securing any Content from that third party or will use commercially reasonable efforts to license such rights to that Content in Hearst's favor as Hearst may approve. In the event that Hearst Content or Magazine Content is edited or abridged by iVillage for posting to a Magazine Site, such edited or abridged version shall nonetheless be considered Hearst Content or Magazine Content, as applicable. In that event Hearst fails to expend the Production Commitment in either of the two consecutive twelve month periods following the first anniversary date of this Amendment, it will provide iVillage with notice of same 90 days prior to the end of each twelve (12) month period, so that the parties can create mutually approved optimization plans for the implementation of the Advertising Commitment, and : (i) the amount of the Advertising Commitment set forth herein at Section 7 applicable to that twelve month period shall be increased by the amount of forty cents ($.40) for each dollar less than the Production Commitment that Hearst has failed to expend; and (ii) the amount of Guaranteed Advertising Royalty as set forth in this Amendment applicable to that twelve month period shall be reduced pro rata (i.e., if Hearst expends 5% less than the Production Commitment in any twelve month period the Guaranteed Advertising Royalty shall be reduced by 5% for that twelve month period). For avoidance of doubt, this opportunity to convert any unexpended portion of the Production Commitment to an increase in the Advertising Commitment shall not be available to Hearst for the twelve-month period following the effective date of this Amendment.
