DEFINITIONS: | “Catch Up Rights” shall mean the right to exploit the Program by making it available at no additional charge for the user for a limited time following a scheduled linear broadcast of the Program by means of streaming on the Licensed Service (provided that access to such Service is geoblocked to restrict access to users in the Territory) and in accordance with the following regulations (“Catch Up Usage Rules”): • each episode may be available only until 7 (seven) days after the initial broadcast of such episode on the Licensed Channel (excluding re-runs); • no more than the number of episodes equal to fifty-percent (50%) of the total number of the most recently aired in-season episodes are made available at any given time; • such rights are exploited solely via websites and apps that are wholly owned, directly operated, controlled by, solely branded and programmed by Licensee; and • each episode permitted above shall be commercially interrupted (and each such episode shall include no less than the number of commercial interruptions as the linear broadcast with fast forward disabled); • the version exploited on the catch-up Licensed Service shall be identical to the version on the linear Licensed Channel. “Free Television Rights” or “Free TV Rights” shall mean the right to make the Program available on a linear scheduled basis on the Licensed Channel |
by means of over the air signals, cable or satellite or any other electronic or non-tangible means which is free and/or ad-supported, and/or which is publicly funded. Free TV excludes Catch Up Rights. “Non-Theatrical Rights” shall mean the right to deliver and/or exhibit the Program to audiences at the physical facilities (i) of airplanes, trains, ships and other forms of common carrier transportation, (ii) of schools, colleges and other educational institutions, government agencies, libraries, religious and civic groups, clubs and services organizations, (iii) of non-public areas of hotels, motels and other lodging, and (iv) shut-in institutions, prisons, hospitals, nursing homes, retirement centers, offshore drilling rigs, logging camps and construction camps, and for which exhibition an admission fee may be charged. | |
20. INTERNET TRANSMISSION: | Licensee shall not exploit or authorize the exploitation via the Internet of the rights granted herein unless and until (i) the viewing of the Program is in an encrypted linear form without alteration of the original continuity of, or sequence of images comprising the Program; (ii) access to the Program is verifiably confined to recipients located solely in the Territory, and Licensee is able to differentiate for access to such transmissions of the Program viewers within the Territory (with an IP address located within the Territory, or any identification data which identifies the location of the viewer to be within the Territory), from viewers outside the Territory, and to grant access to the Licensed Rights as authorized under this Agreement; and (iii) anti- piracy technology (including DRM) generally recognized in the entertainment industry is available and employed, which restricts access to the Program on a geographic basis within the Territory and which is adequate to prevent the unauthorized download, dissemination, reproduction, copying, retransmission and alteration or other similar acts of piracy of the Program by the recipient. Licensor acknowledges and agrees that Licensee’s exhibition of the Program by means of encrypted satellite transmission or through the Internet may be inadvertently received outside of the Territory licensed pursuant to this Agreement (such reception shall be referred to herein as “Spillover”), and that the inadvertent and temporary occurrence of such Spillover shall not be considered a breach of the Agreement by Licensee provided that (i) the transmission of the Program by satellite is securely encrypted so that reception outside the Territory other than by means of an authorized decoding card or equivalent equipment is precluded and technology safeguards and effective state-of-the-art industry standard digital rights management (“DRM”) to prevent unauthorized exhibition, copying or retransmission of the Program are in place, (ii) such Spillover is the result of (a) unanticipated and inadvertent failure of the appropriate and required security measures or (b) the ability of a limited number of technologically advanced individuals (i-e “hackers”) to circumvent the applicable security, copy protection and geo-filtering technologies used and (iii) in each case, Licensee shall make its best efforts once such Spillover and circumvention are discovered to cease or prevent such circumvention from resulting in further access by or exhibition to any unauthorized viewers. In any case, Licensee shall not seek viewers for the Program outside the Territory nor permit the Program to be available to viewers outside the Territory. Licensee shall neither collect nor attempt to collect any fees, royalties or other payments in connection with such Spillover, nor shall Licensee advertise or promote its exhibition of the Program outside of the Territory. Likewise, Licensor does not grant exclusivity protection against any temporary or inadvertent Spillover in the Territory of a broadcast or simultaneous retransmission of the Program originating outside the Territory, |
whether terrestrial, cable satellite or via the Internet. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that any such Spillover shall not be considered a breach of the Agreement by Licensor. Both parties further acknowledge and agree that compliance (by Licensee, Licensor or Licensor’s licensees) with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2017/1128 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on cross-border portability of online content services in the internal market shall not be considered to be a breach of this Agreement. | |
21. ASSIGNMENT: | Licensee may not assign or transfer this Agreement in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Licensor. If Licensor does consent to any such assignment or transfer, then this Agreement will be binding on such authorized assignee or transferee but will not release Licensee of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Licensor may assign, transfer or sublicense this Agreement or any of its rights under this Agreement, but no such assignment, transfer or sublicense will relieve Licensor of its obligations under this Agreement, unless it is to a company which owns or acquires all or substantially all of Licensor's assets. |

23. INDEMNIFICATION: | Each party to the Agreement shall hold harmless and indemnify the other party against any type of damages, claims, losses, cost, expenses, including reasonable external legal fees, but excluding lost profits, which a party may incur as a result of any claim, action or proceeding arising out of or resulting from the failure to honor obligations, warranties or representations stipulated in this Agreement. |
24. TERMINATION: | Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in respect of one or all of the Programs, in the event that the other commits a material breach or default of a material provision of this Agreement in respect of such Program and fails to remedy such breach (if capable of remedy) within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving written notice to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the section “Technical Acceptance of Delivery Materials” above shall be applicable for any failure to deliver in compliance with this Agreement. The License Period of such Program shall terminate automatically upon termination of this Agreement in respect of such Program pursuant to this clause. In addition, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon the giving of written notice to the other, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of that party under this Agreement or under any statute or common law if the other party suspends payment to its creditors or generally is unable to pay its debts as and when they fall due or suffers the making of an administration order or has a receiver (including an administrative receiver) or manager appointed of the whole or any part of its assets or if any order is made or a resolution passed for its winding up (except for the purpose of amalgamation or reconstruction) or if it enters into any composition or arrangement with its creditors or calls a meeting of its creditors with intent to enter into such an arrangement or composition or if it ceases to carry on business or the other party suffers the occurrence of any similar event under the law of the Territory or a country in which the other party is incorporated and/or resident. |
25. CONFIDENTIALITY: | The terms of this Agreement shall be confidential as between the parties hereto save as required by law or governmental authority or save to the extent Licensor is contractually required to disclose the terms of this Agreement to underlying rights holders in the Program, Licensor’s professional advisors (including auditors) or Licensor’s parent or affiliated companies. |
26. FINAL CLAUSES: | In the event that individual provisions of this Agreement are invalid or become invalid, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain unaffected. In that event, the invalid provision shall be substituted by a provision that most closely reflects the pursued economic purpose of the invalid provision. The same shall apply in the event that the Agreement turns out to be incomplete. Changes and amendments to this Agreement must be made in writing. The same applies to the abrogation of the written form requirement. This Agreement expresses the entire understanding of the parties. Oral agreements, if any, become invalid with execution of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and each of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Executed signature pages of this Agreement sent by facsimile or transmitted electronically by a format including, but not limited to, PDF, TIFF or JPG shall have the same force and effect as original documents. This Agreement and any dispute arising in connection therewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Germany and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Munich in Germany. |
The Parties have entered into this Agreement on the day, month and year first above written.
