(b) Subject to sub-paragraph 8(a)(19), Company agrees that all information relating to the performance of Authorized Materials within the Services, including but not limited to analytical data and information concerning amounts paid or payable by Company hereunder shall constitute Confidential Information hereunder. Unless permitted in accordance with sub-section 1(a) above, sub-paragraph 8(a)(19) or otherwise explicitly approved under this Agreement, Company shall obtain Label’s prior written approval before disclosing such information to any third party or class of third parties, including but not limited to Label Artists and managers thereof, whether in response to any request or as part of any Company-created tool or API.

2. Reporting and Payment:

(a) Unless otherwise provided hereunder, Company will compute all amounts payable to Label and Orchard pursuant to the Term Sheet and any other payments accrued hereunder on a country-by-country basis as of the end of each calendar month hereunder (such proceeds and other monies, the “Wholesale Fees”).

(b) In connection with each such calendar month, Company will send within **** thereafter:

(1)

to Label (i) an accounting statement covering the calculation and determination of Wholesale Fees and other sums so accrued and payable in respect of the calendar month concerned in the country concerned in the format set out in Part II of Exhibit B (each, a “Financial Statement”), such statement covering both SME Materials and Orchard Materials; and (ii) a machine-readable report containing the data and information described in (and otherwise in accordance with) the relevant reporting specifications attached hereto as Part I of Exhibit B (each, a “Monthly Report”) relating to SME Materials only; and

(2) to Orchard (i) a Financial Statement covering Orchard Materials only; and (ii) a Monthly Report relating to Orchard Materials only.

Monthly Reports and Financial Statements shall only be deemed received by Label and Orchard once uploaded by Company in an appropriate form to the correct directory on Label’s and Orchard’s FTP servers using access credentials issued by Label and Orchard; provided that Label and Orchard shall be solely responsible for procuring that access to such server is available to Company at all relevant times.

(c) Upon receipt of each Financial Statement, Label will prepare and send to Company a full invoice in respect of Wholesale Fees due in relation to SME Materials, and will procure that Orchard prepares and sends to Company a full invoice in respect of Wholesale Fees due in relation to Orchard Materials. Company shall thereafter pay **** (i) Wholesale Fees due in relation to SME Materials that have accrued and are payable to the Label into the bank account designated by Label for such purpose from time-to-time; and (ii) Wholesale Fees due in relation to Orchard Materials that have accrued and are payable to the Label into the bank account designated by Orchard for such purpose from time-to-time, in both cases **** following the date of the relevant invoice. At the same time that Company makes a payment into Label’s bank account, Company shall send an email indicating the amount paid to the email address(es) designated from time to time by Label (as of the Effective Date, such email address designated by Label is ****). For the avoidance of doubt, Label agrees that Company’s payment of Orchard’s share of Wholesale Fees directly to Orchard shall discharge Company’s obligation to account to Label for Orchard’s share of Wholesale Fees hereunder.

(d) All amounts payable hereunder, whether or not ****, shall be made in United States Dollars. To the extent that any amounts payable hereunder are required to be converted from a currency other than United States Dollars, such conversion shall be made based on the average exchange rate for such other currency published by Reuters for the relevant calendar month. Such exchange rate shall be reported by Company to Label in Financial Statements.

(e) Company shall pay interest at the rate of ****, from the date due, on any required payment hereunder that is not made on or before its due date, without prejudice to any other rights Label may have in connection with such delinquency.

Label shall not have the right to audit a given accounting statement more than once.

(d) The **** of any **** of **** of ****, or other ****, whether **** or otherwise, **** in which **** this Agreement may be **** shall be **** of the **** of any notice from Label to Company regarding its **** pursuant to **** above, provided that Label **** of the date of such notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Label will have the absolute unfettered right, in its sole discretion (i) to withhold any item of Authorized Materials for any of the reasons set forth in sub-paragraph 7(e) below, provided that such right to withhold will expire if and when the reason for withholding the content is no longer applicable in the country of the Territory concerned; or (ii) to delay Company’s use relative to Similar Authorized Services (and set Release Date Information accordingly) of a limited number of Authorized Materials on a case-by-case basis only for the purposes of allowing a third party to conduct specific, time-limited exclusive artist and/or label promotions, marketing campaigns or merchandising opportunities in the applicable country of the Territory, in each case, for periods of limited duration, provided that such delay shall only apply during the limited duration of such specific promotion, marketing campaign or merchandising opportunity.

Company shall not **** with respect to the decision to withhold or take down any particular recordings in the circumstances detailed in exception (iv) in the first sentence of this paragraph 6(c).

(vii)

Company shall employ commercially reasonable efforts to prevent, detect and disable usage of Family Premium Subscriptions by End Users who are not part of the same family and/or the same residential address (by way of example only, by implementing algorithms for detecting suspicious behavior, patterns, etc. indicative of abuse or other any similar methods of detection which accomplish the same goal). The Parties acknowledge that a Master Subscriber and Family Members may: (a) prior to 30 August 2016, have registered without submitting a ZIP/postal code and/or postal address; and/or (b) prior to the Effective Date, have registered without submitting a last name (together the “Legacy Family Subscribers”).

Company shall be entitled to “whitelist” individual End Users in respect of a particular Family Premium Subscription where the relevant End User provides such verification (i.e., such that the End User shall not be required to provide verification again in respect of that particular Family Premium Subscription). Otherwise, Company shall terminate access to such Abusive Account for the applicable Family Members and shall not permit the relevant End Users to **** for a period of at least **** from the date of such termination.

(x)

As used hereunder, “Abusive Account” means an individual Family Premium Subscription that meets the following criteria (or such other criteria that may be mutually agreed between the Parties during the Term):

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER

1 Introduction

Spotify is an Internet-based service for on-demand streaming audio and video. We provide multi-platform client applications, a proprietary streaming protocol and a back-end consisting of streaming servers, storage system, advertising system etc.

2 Overview of user experience

Spotify offers an online on-demand streaming service. Accessing the service, requires users to register an account with Spotify, giving them a login to the system and download and install Spotify’s official client application – available for Mac OS X, Windows, iOS and Android (as well as a for Linux but lacking support) –, third-party client applications based on the Spotify SDK – C and JavaScript libraries for accessing the service – or use the Spotify web client. A subset of the service can also be accessed from third party websites using the Spotify JavaScript APIs. Spotify is also able to manage local files and sync them to portable media players not connected to the Internet.

For reporting and play restrictions, we distinguish between the different platforms ****.

When choosing what to play, the user can browse metadata such as biographies, reviews, similar artists, albums and cover art. Content that the user selects to play is streamed to the client and played in real time. If the user wishes to access the same content again, the client has to request it again from the server, although some of the content may have been cached locally.

The client applications on some platforms also support offline playback, where media items are synchronized to the local machine for offline listening. This is crucial for a good mobile experience, since large areas are still not covered with third-generation or better mobile networks providing sufficient (and consistent) bandwidth for continuous high-quality streams. Also, offline playback is useful for example when traveling by airplane or when disconnected for other reasons.

Spotify also both integrates with existing social networks and allow users to follow artists as well as other Spotify users directly within the Spotify services.

2.1 Local files

The application is also able to play any local music the user may already have. Spotify will try to import the individual tracks as well as playlists created in popular media players. ****.

****	Confidential portion omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

CONFIDENTIAL

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER

While not forced on a user, he can choose to have music files open automatically with Spotify.

By ****, Spotify is able to match the local music to the Spotify version of a track with high confidence, allowing playlists of local music to be shared with users who do not have the same files locally. Such users will instead play the corresponding Spotify resources.

3.3 Cloud computing

Where suitable, Spotify is using cloud computing services to deliver the Spotify service to the end user. This is to enable rapid expansion and reliable operations of our systems. The cloud computing providers consolidate the functions of Internet service providers, hardware resellers and hosting providers and give us a single interface for operating hardware and network. Whenever cloud computing is considered, an evaluation of reliability and security is made.

A specialized form of cloud providers are **** provide Spotify with an efficient and secure distribution mechanism for content. Content access is **** provided by the Spotify backend.

3.4 Third-party client applications

For third-party client applications, Spotify offers software development kits (SDK), both for native and web based clients. For native clients, a C based library is provided and APIs are provided for different programming environments, for example for embedding into hardware devices or mobile clients. For web based clients, a JavaScript library is provided.

The SDKs should be viewed as a client without a user interface. Rather than a user interface, the SDKs exposes an application programming interface (API) to third-party developers who want to build their own applications on top of the Spotify platform.

The intention is to turn Spotify from simply a service to a platform, an ecosystem of developers, applications and services. Additionally this will remove some ****, a threat that faces any closed system.

Through the API, a third-party application can do most things Spotify proper can do, but adding its own touch to the user interface and new features. As a platform, Spotify enables developers to come up with new creative things to do with the service.

The SDKs uses the same **** as the Spotify first-party clients. The speed at which a **** is limited in the library. The speed at which you can request ****.

Commercial implementations using the SDK must have a signed agreement with Spotify. As part of that agreement Spotify provides a **** that allows the Spotify backend to identify the partner and additional details about the device itself (model, etc). This identification is performed during user login over Spotify’s proprietary streaming protocol. The partner and device model identification is further used by the analysis and reporting team to generate statistics of device usage. It can also be used to enable extra features available to specific partners. One such feature is the ability for ****. The SDK also allows a developer to ****.

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER

To handle rogue applications violating the terms of service we have ****: users that we determine use **** as can specific **** handed out by us.

3.5 Other third-party integration

Using the Spotify JavaScript APIs directly or using widgets supplied by Spotify built on top of it, such as the Spotify Playbutton, a subset of the Spotify service can be accessed by third parties, outside of the Spotify clients. This way, third parties can create rich web integrations on top of the Spotify ecosystem including, but not limited to, artist-follow buttons, playlists and personalised recommendations. Playback is provided by the JavaScript APIs or by ****.

Spotify also offers a feature called App Remote which allows third party applica- tions on-device to control the Spotify audio playback without switching from the third party application. Audio playback security is enforced by the Spotify application ****.

4 General system security

4.1 System location

The Spotify system is split into two main parts. ****. Included in **** for generating search indexes and **** databases.

The production system is the set of services required to operate the system that the Spotify client directly depends on. The production system are operated out of a number of different data centers and computing platforms. There are several reasons for this, the two primary being that multiple locations give redundancy to the system and that in order to get the best possible performance, ****. All data centers are **** (see table Third parties). The reason for this is that we require a high level of security and availability. This is most easily achieved by using ****. Monitoring of the system is handled ****. Service functionality and availability is automatically checked

on regular intervals. If a failure is detected, ****. The **** are also equipped with ****. In the situation where more specialized computing platforms such as cloud computing and cloud storage are used the same high level of security standards are applied.

Spotify user accounts are personal and may not be shared by several individuals. We prevent sharing of accounts by ****. There are also limitations on the **** for offline playback for an account at any given time. A user’s **** may not be connected to more than one Spotify account at a time and at no time can a Spotify account be connected to more than one ****.

In addition to this, the value stored in playlists (whose ownership can not be transferred between accounts), the Spotify social graph (that can not be transferred between accounts) and the connection to Facebook (where we don’t allow a ****) will be an extra deterrent.

5.3 Limited user accounts

To widen the funnel, limited user accounts, in which an account with limited user information is automatically created when the new user starts using the service, is also supported.

Limited user accounts respect the same capping and other restrictions as other accounts and once the complete user information is added, the accounts seamlessly transform into normal Spotify accounts.

For the limited user accounts, the available users information – country, language, acquisition funnel etc. is stored ****.

Features requiring writes in the system; starring tracks, creating playlists, follow other users or artists and personalized recommendations, remain unavailable until the limited user chooses to add the complete account information.

6 IT and development policies

6.1 Operating system and software policies

Spotify’s production environment is built on the **** operating system. All software included in **** has passed extensive stability and security testing before being approved for inclusion. The **** community maintains **** included in the operating system. Spotify servers are updated on regular intervals and **** the Spotify infrastructure allows for **** with very short notice.

7 Content ingestion, storage and packaging

7.1 Format and codec

7.1.1 Audio

Currently we encode audio streams using Ogg Vorbis or Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) at **** kbit/s bitrates for use by the native clients. Non-premium accounts are limited to a maximum of **** kbit/s.

The web client currently uses AAC or MP3 encoded files at comparable bitrates.

Generally, being able to choose a suitable codec on a case-by-case basis is necessary for us to be able to create the best possible product.

We are using third-party metadata (including from ****), but it is ****. It is transmitted along with **** from the audio stream by our streaming protocol.

7.1.2 Video

Video uses MPEG-4, MPEG-TS or WebM containers with H.264 or V8/V9 codecs at **** kbps-4 Mbps bitrates. Video playback uses **** to the desired quality for the user.

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER

7.2 Content ingestion

The Spotify content ingestion process is separated into four steps: importing, transforming, merging and transcoding. The first two ****.

7.2.1 Importing

The goal of the importing process is to put all metadata into a **** and to scan through all media and image files to look for file information such as duration, bitrate and image size and corrupt data.

This step includes retrieving metadata, media files and images through the means agreed on with the content provider.

When new and updated data has been received, the actual importing begins. A relational database with a data model as close to the provider’s metadata format as possible is filled with new or updated data.

Media and image information (filenames, bitrates, durations, image sizes) is also written to this database.

7.2.2 Transformation

After importing has been carried out, we transform the metadata ****. This common format has been carefully designed to be able to represent the various features of all our content providers.

The transformed data is **** per content provider.

7.2.3 Merging

The objective of the merging step is to pick all artists and albums from all the transformed content provider databases and merge them into one.

If we through heuristics find out that two artists from different content providers are, in fact, the same artist, we may merge these artists into one. This way, the artist view in the Spotify client will contain albums from both sources.

This could for example be the case when an artist has switched labels during his career, or is released on different labels in different countries.

7.2.4 Transcoding

Since different content providers provide their data in different formats, this step assures that all media and image data is available in the formats that the Spotify clients want. Files of different formats are transcoded into the desired ones, with the desired bitrates and image sizes.

7.2.5 Metadata clean-up

Certain sources provide metadata that needs cleanup. The system can do this somewhat automatically. If an artist or an album is matched to, for example, an **** artist or album, ****.

7.2.6 QA procedure

If a metadata error is detected, either in-house or by a user of the Spotify client, we use our internal administration tools to investigate the error.

If an error in provided metadata is detected, we may correct it manually. If the content provider later updates the erroneous data, the administration system informs us that this has happened and suggests that we let the provided metadata override our manual edit.

7.2.7 Metadata update feeds

Our system is designed specifically to handle updates of media, images and associated metadata. As soon as updated data arrives, it is automatically imported, transformed, merged, transcoded and incorporated into Spotify.

7.3 Protection of raw media and metadata

Access to the raw media data is limited to **** and to servers doing computational work on either metadata or raw media. The storage system requires **** for any access to the media data. Raw media is **** to provide strong reliability.

The storage cluster is protected **** as described above. Further, media data can optionally **** to provide additional protection against ****.

7.4 Content protection

For audio playback in our native clients, we use ****. Every audio file is encrypted ****. Files can be ****, should the need arise. The client requests a ****.

7.4.1 Protection of network traffic

When the native clients connect to the access point (AP), the client and AP perform an authenticated ****. From this **** are derived, one for ****.

For line encryption, we use the ****. We use an ****. All network traffic is encrypted and **** (which also has ****). For each new protocol message, a new ****. **** are selected in ****. **** limiting the amount of **** exposed under a given ****. Every **** is also ****.

**** derived for network traffic protection are ****, and are never stored. New keys are **** connection.

Web stack communication with the Spotify backend is handled over ****.

7.4.2 Downloading media data

Clients can download media data from either the **** or from ****. The data is encrypted using ****. Legacy web clients uses ****. As all communication with the **** is encrypted, all media data which is streamed directly from the Spotify backend travels within an encrypted tunnel, even if it is already encrypted.

7.4.3 Playback of audio in native clients

To be able to play encrypted audio data, clients request a **** for the audio file from the Spotify backend. **** and, in native clients, is then **** before the client begins decrypting the audio file. This is done to make **** slightly more difficult.

Preview clips are ****.

For full-length playback in the web client, the snippets **** time-limited URL (or ****, see Legacy web client audio protection) for the full length tracks thus cutting away a roundtrip and connection setup time from the latency of playback.

**** preview snippets are ****.

7.4.5 Protection of the cache

The client caches data, e.g. the encrypted streams, to disk. For native clients, the entire disk cache is ****. The client never **** (except for ****). Again, **** and the **** begins.

The web client uses standard HTML caching, but will exclude any ****.

7.4.6 Protecting offline content

For offline content, we reuse all existing mechanisms from the online mode, with the addition of a ****. The ****, at which point the client will refuse to play offline content. The ****, and integrity-protected ****.

The entire **** in encrypted form in memory, and **** are decrypted as needed. **** are used to set up a **** before being used, to prevent ****.

Every time **** written to disk, a **** and the ****. By using ****, this **** can be done without ****.

The **** for the **** are derived from **** every time the storage is written. The use of a **** prevents **** from copying an **** between machines. **** are derived using the ****.

7.4.7 Offline reporting

For reporting plays that occurred while offline, the client logs all offline activity and reports back to the server as soon as it comes online. Activity logs are stored encrypted with **** (as to not tempt ****) and integrity protected **** (to ****), and ****.

7.4.8 Offline-mode limitations

The number of tracks concurrently synchronized for offline listening can be limited. Likewise, the number of machines that are allowed to simultaneously use the offline mode for a given user account can be ****.

7.4.9 Offline-mode hack response

Of course, there is a risk of a **** of our offline data format, which would allow an attacker ****. Naturally, at that point, we cannot ****. However, given the existence of such a hack, we can deploy a **** protection format for offline mode, and which ****.

For clients which auto-update themselves, an attacker would then ****. For all clients, they would not be able to download any new content (or use the Spotify service) until they ****, so the **** would not be able to get access to any more content than what he already **** at the time the hack was discovered.

7.4.10 Legacy web client audio protection

A key property of our content protection approaches is that we **** (except for offlined tracks), allowing us to ****. This is done via ****.

For legacy web clients, to decrypt the encrypted part of the track, the client must **** channel to Spotify’s web servers. Recognizing that **** is inherently easier than the native clients, the ****.

We anticipate that the **** may need to change from time to time. The initial approach in development entails ****.

7.5 QA and testing

We perform volume equalization on all tracks to minimize volume differences between tracks. Normalization is calculated server side and applied in the native clients. We also provide a volume control.

All original (lossless) data is transcoded into formats suitable for the different delivery platforms. At the moment, the target format is Ogg Vorbis, Advanced Audio Coding and MP3. The transcoded material is then moved to physically separate servers when injected into the live system. The original, lossless data remains unchanged in our original storage facility.

The process of importing, transcoding and incorporating new data into the Spotify live system is on the order of **** depending on the amount of data in the batch.

7.6 User authentication

The authentication procedure uses a ****. We will not generally attempt to ****. However, we only allow one client (worldwide) per account to play media at any one time. Starting playback in one client will automatically pause all other clients a user may be running. An exception to this rule has been made for ****. For a group of individuals sharing an account, this will be frustrating enough for the users to register personal accounts.

7.7 Territorial filtering

In order to locate the listener, the Spotify servers use ****. The location is then resolved as an ****.

For each media item, the Spotify servers store a list of countries in which it may be played. Spotify then uses location-based content filtering in all client views, as well as when actually streaming.

Filtering in all these different contexts simply means to make sure that the listener’s country is included in the list of allowed countries for all media items returned. All territorial filtering is **** so that when the listener starts playing, it is ensured that the media item is eligible before streaming starts.

A Spotify listener may create links to artists, albums and media items. These links can be sent over instant messaging or email, or be posted on a web site, but the user clicking a link may be in a totally different territory than the user creating the link, and may therefore not be eligible to play what it’s pointing to.

****	Confidential portion omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

CONFIDENTIAL

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER

When a user follows an artist link, he sees only the eligible albums. If the user instead follows a link to an album that he is not eligible to play, he is taken to the track listing of the album, but is informed that he is not able to play the album due to territorial restrictions.

Finally, a link to a track is almost the same thing as a link to an album, except that, in the current implementation, the track starts playing immediately when the link is clicked. If the user is not eligible to play the track, however, he is taken to the album’s track listing, but informed that he is not able to play the album due to territorial restrictions.

In a similar way, users following links to other views in the clients (e.g. a playlist) will have non-available media items filtered out.

7.7.1 Detecting country of residence

There are several features in place to protect against users trying to access the service by claiming to reside in a country other than they actually do. During the account registration phase Spotify utilizes a **** that detects the users country of residence. This information is then used ****.

In order to further ensure that the country of residence actually is correct a **** via the client. The access point will **** and match it against the information in the ****. If there is a **** be presented with a warning message and **** the users account will be disabled. The account will not be re-enabled until the user either changes his country of residence or returns and logs in from the “correct” country. The reason for the delay in disabling the account is the to accommodate a good user experience in the event of shorter travels abroad.

The result of the method described above is a system that has a good protection against users that try to misrepresent their country of residence during the account registration process, ****.

Another method used to validate country of residence is via ****. Whenever possible and once a user shares **** with Spotify the country of residence is validated through the ****. This is considered as a secure method and it overrides the method described above.

7.8 Client authentication

The authentication between client and backend is always complicated when handing out a program which handles all communication. As of today, there is **** the client program. If tools are commercially available at reasonable market prices, what we can do, though, with streams originating from the backend, is to ****, thus making it very hard and impractical to ****.

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER

7.9 URL generation and protection

For **** of media files, data is requested on the Spotify proprietary streaming protocol. For **** that is retrieved from the Spotify backend. Only when the request has been granted will the client be given the **** it needs to retrieve that file.

7.10 Stream initiation

The native clients do not employ any ****, in the common sense, for audio playback. Instead, we rely on **** to allow us to have control over the data. All traffic over the network (except for CDN, mentioned previously) is encrypted.

To download media (or specifically, ****) the user needs to open a network connection and authenticate using his username and password. Web based clients uses **** and **** standards. The **** is enforced by **** supplied by web browser vendors, for example ****. Legacy web based clients uses a proprietary, cryptography based system.

Video playback uses a strong, third party DRM module provided by, or available on, the device platform, such as ****. Video file encryption is optional, depending on the requirements from the content provider.

7.11 Stream protocol

The streaming protocol is a proprietary **** protocol with cryptograph- ically sound authentication and encryption. We use a **** for all transfers. All streams employ **** for integrity protection, and all **** and negotiated in a way which ensures ****.

Clients built on web technology use **** for communicating with the Spotify backend and CDNs.

7.12 Local caching

To allow our service to scale to millions of users and for responsiveness, we cache media files on client disk. The cache employs the same ****, in that the music is stored encrypted and the entire cache uses another ****.

The spotify client never stores any **** except to support offlined content as covered above.

The web client also does not store unencrypted streams on disk but the browser cache is **** beyond that of the tracks’.

7.13 Auditing

Every time the Spotify client stops playback of a media item, a message is sent back over our encrypted channel to our backend. This message includes a **** that was played and **** it was played. The receiving backend service appends information about user and location to the messages and passes them to the ****.

**** are the main source when generating weekly and monthly reports. In this step the unique **** are used for counting the number of times each item has been streamed and for looking up more information about the item, such as artist and other identifiers specific to the content provider. If needed, the report can also include the number of times each item was played by each user as well as other aggregates that might be of interest.

8 Partner integrations

8.1 Sonos

The Sonos integration is based on the Spotify SDK. Sonos use (as that of any other SDK-based system) requires a Spotify premium account and supports up to **** simultaneous streams. It is not possible to stream **** at the same time.

8.2 Spotify connect

Spotify connect allows a user to share playback from one device to another, for example allowing a desktop client to share its playback with a phone or a hardware device such as a stereo. This allows for device to device remote control. Audio streaming is done via the Spotify backend, as opposed to peer-to-peer. The hardware implementation is based on the Spotify SDK.
