2.1 Subject to timely payment of the License Fee to Licensor and subject to Licensee’s satisfactory performance of all other obligations under this Agreement, Licensor grants to Licensee the Licensed Rights throughout the Territory in the Licensed Language during the License Period for the number of Runs authorised in the Principal Terms, if applicable. All rights not expressly licensed to Licensee in this Agreement are reserved to Licensor.
2.2 The inclusion of provisions in this Agreement for any rights not specifically licensed to Licensee is for ease of drafting only. Their inclusion does not grant to Licensee explicitly or by implication any rights not specifically licensed in this Agreement.
2.3 It is hereby agreed and understood that nothing shall prevent Licensor from authorizing the exhibition of the Program in the Italian Language, in the Territory during Licensee’s License Period, by any and all means of television distribution, on a channel in which Mediaset or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary has direct operating control.
3. LICENSE FEE
3.1 In consideration of the Licensed Rights, Licensee shall pay to Licensor the License Fee as set forth in the Principal Terms.
The time within which Licensee is required to make payments hereunder is of the essence of this Agreement and any failure or delay in making such payments will constitute a material default
hereunder.
3.2 Licensee agrees and confirms that the License Fee payable under this Agreement shall be made without any deduction whatsoever. Licensee hereby covenants and agrees to pay, without limitation, any and all taxes, including any withholding taxes, if due, levies or charges (however denominated) imposed, levied or assessed by any statute, law, rule or regulation now in effect or hereafter enacted on or otherwise in respect of the Program, any Materials relating thereto, or any right or privilege to use the same, or any receipts, fees, charges, monies or other sums received or payable in connection with the exhibition and/or exploitation thereof whether or not billed to, or demanded of, Licensor. Licensee may deduct from the License Fee payable hereunder withholding taxes due under double taxation treaties and paid to a government authority by Licensee on Licensor’s behalf, only if such taxes are levied in accordance with the income tax laws of the government authority to which the taxes are payable. Licensor shall provide Licensee with the appropriate tax declaration giving evidence of its fiscal residence, as required by the applicable double taxation treaty.
3.3 Without prejudice of paragraph 3.1 above, in case of delay of payment of the License Fee and/or any other sum due to Licensor, the payments past due from Licensee to Licensor hereunder will automatically accrue an interest of 5% above the EURIBOR rate published by the European Bank.
3.4 For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Licensee interrupts and/or suspends the exhibition of the Program -or of a title included in the Program - due to programming reasons and consequently requests Licensor to suspend delivery of the relevant Materials, the full License Fee in respect of the Program – or of the title included in the Program - shall be entirely due and payable regardless of whether or not Licensee decides to broadcast the Program - or the title included in the Program - or any episode thereof.
4. MATERIALS
4.1 Within 30 (thirty) days of payment of the License Fee (or the first instalment thereof, if so indicated in the Principal Terms)/, Licensor shall deliver the Materials on loan to Licensee. Any shipping costs, charges or expenses (including, but not limited to, risk of loss, insurance, taxes, customs clearance, shipping and forwarding charges) shall be borne by Licensee. If the Materials are lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged after delivery by Licensor to a shipping agent and before arrival at its destination, Licensee shall provide to Licensor and/or execute any document requested by Licensor certifying such loss, theft, destruction, or damage and all details known to Licensee relating to such occurrence, and Licensor shall make and deliver to Licensee a replacement copy of the Materials at Licensee’s expense.
4.2 Licensee shall examine the Materials, and shall have 30 (thirty) days of receipt thereof to notify Licensor (if necessary) that such Materials do not technically comply with commercial industry standards. In such event, Licensor shall use reasonable efforts to provide replacement Materials within 30 (thirty) days. However, if Licensor determines that it is not practicable to create a replacement copy of the Materials which meets the required standards, Licensor may elect to withdraw the Program – or such title included in the Program - and Licensee shall have the right to select a substitute program. In the event the Parties are unable to agree upon a comparable substitute program, or there is no comparable substitute program available, the License Fee paid by Licensee respecting such withdrawn Program – or title included in the Program - shall be credited or refunded to Licensee.
4.3 The Materials shall be returned to Licensor no later than 30 (thirty) days after the end of the License Period (unless otherwise indicated in the Principal Terms) at Licensee's expense in the same condition in which they were received, failing which Licensee shall reimburse Licensor the actual cost of replacement of the Materials. If the Parties enter into a written agreement that the Materials may be destroyed, Licensee may also destroy the Materials and provide a certificate of erasure, together with a statement that no other copies are in its possession and/or control, no later than 60 (sixty) days after the end of the License Period. Title in and to the Materials of or relating to the Program, including any advertising and Publicity Materials, provided to Licensee hereunder is vested and shall remain in Licensor, and title in and to any dubbed or subtitled version of the Materials or any materials of or relating to the Program or its advertising and its promotion created by, for or at the request of Licensee and all rights therein, including (but not limited to) copyrights, rights of use and other rights of exploitation and
all neighboring and connecting rights shall, to the fullest extent possible under applicable laws, vest and remain in and are hereby assigned to Licensor.

Licensor shall have the right to verify such statements and notify Licensee any error within 10 (ten) business days of receipt thereof, in such event Licensee shall furnish revised accounting statements within 5 (five) business days of Licensor’s notification.
5.2 All Home Video Royalties and/or EST Royalties, and/or TVOD Royalties receivable by Licensor shall be due and payable no later than 30 (thirty) days after the end of each quarter.
5.3 No cross-collateralization shall be allowed, therefore (i) no revenues or expenses associated with the Program shall be cross-collateralized by Licensee with any revenues or expenses associated with any other program licensed by Licensor to Licensee and (ii) there shall be no crossing between the Licensed Rights in the Program.
5.4 In relation to the exploitation of the Home Video rights, subject to any restrictions to which Licensee may be subject, Licensor agrees that, during a period of six (6) months after the expiration of the License Period (the "Sell-Off Period"), Licensee may, in the same manner and to the same extent as during the License Period, advertise, distribute and sell the Program in Home Video form. It is hereby agreed and understood that, with respect to all videograms distributed during the Sell-Off Period, Licensor shall be paid the Home Video Royalties and rendered accounting statements pursuant to paragraph 5.1 above, provided, however, that Licensee shall not be permitted to recoup its License Fee Advance/Minimum Guarantee from Home Video Royalties payable to Licensor during the Sell- Off Period.
6. DUBBING, SUB-TITLING AND EDITING
