4. Territory: The territory, with respect to any Title, shall be each territory you indicate when prompted on the Program Site (the "Territory").
5. Rights Granted: You hereby grant Film Bureau an exclusive license in the Territory to use, reproduce, reformat for delivery, encode, encrypt, market, promote, transmit, distribute and display on the Service the audio-visual programs ("Titles") pursuant to each Distribution Mode that you indicate on the Program Site; which will include access via free screenings without any required payment of License Fees in connection therewith. "Service" means one or more digital video services branded with an Film Bureau Brand through which authorized users may obtain Titles via a Distribution Mode. As used in this Agreement, Titles refer solely to the audio-visual programs viewable and editable in your Program account and authorized for distribution on the Service. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of this Agreement apply solely with respect to the Distribution Mode you have enabled for each such Title. Film Bureau will have the right, but not the obligation, to offer customers of the Service the opportunity to book or access the Titles pursuant to the Distribution Modes that you indicate as available on the Program Site. You will have an opportunity to provide a suggested revenue shares for your Titles that are made available for Booking but Film Bureau will have sole discretion to determine the revenue shares for offerings on the Service. Film Bureau may advertise, market, and promote, in any and all media (whether now known or hereafter devised), the availability of Titles on the Service using the Delivery Materials and any images, trailers, logos, artwork, publicity materials, and metadata provided by you as it deems appropriate as well as any video clips from the Titles created by Film Bureau of up to 3 consecutive minutes of footage from Titles (collectively, the "Promotional Materials"). Film Bureau may feature the Promotional Materials in advertisements outside the Program Site, in any media, to promote the Titles and related products, the Service and any features of the Service, and the availability of the Titles on the Service. Film Bureau may make such modifications as may be necessary to conform the Title to applicable law in the Territory, provided Film Bureau will use commercially reasonably efforts to ensure such modifications do not to impair the creative integrity, quality or meaning of the Title.
6. General Description of the Service: Distribution Modes: Content Provider, in its sole option, may allow customers to access Titles in the following ways: (a) grant a license to access audio visual content digitally for delivery and repeated viewing over an indefinite period of time ("Screener"); (b) purchase a license to access audio visual content digitally for delivery and repeated public viewing over a finite period of time established by Film Bureau in its sole discretion ( "Rental"). Screener and Rental are referred to herein as the "Distribution Modes". The Service may be offered on a stand-alone basis and/or bundled with other products, services, or offerings. As between the parties, Film Bureau will have sole control over the Service, all features, terms, and other aspects thereof (including, without limitation, the rights and entitlements granted to authorized users with respect to Screeners and Rentals, the terms under which the Service is offered and the sale of advertisements in connection with the Service); provided, however, that Film Bureau's distribution of Titles on the Service shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge that Film Bureau may (i) make the Service available through any websites, applications, device interfaces, third-party platforms and any other online platforms or points of presence now known or hereafter devised, (ii) grant authorized users who receive Screeners and Rentals to audio-visual content the right to access such content via streaming, download, and any means of theatrical distribution now known or hereafter devised, for online or offline viewing on any device supported by the Service, and (iii) deliver audio-visual content on the Service via any means now known or hereafter devised (including, without limitation, cable, wire, fiber, satellite, wireless, cellular and/or physical distribution).
7. License Fee Payment: Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section, Film Bureau will pay you the applicable license fees set forth below ("License Fees") for each customer booking of Titles for screeners or Rentals. Such License Fees are the only compensation payable to you under this Agreement and constitute full and complete compensation to you for all rights granted under this Agreement. Film Bureau will calculate, report and pay the License Fees in arrears within ninety (90) days after the completion of the applicable calendar month. You will receive payment from Film Bureau via electronic funds transfer unless electronic funds transfer is not available for the address provided for your account, in which case you will receive payment by wire transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if you receive payment via wire transfer, Film Bureau may withhold payment until you have reached the minimum threshold in accrued License Fees for the applicable local marketplace as set forth on the Program Site. You will also be responsible for any fees imposed by your bank or any intermediary bank. For the purposes of calculating License Fee payments, p (i) the "Purchase Price" for a customer's right to access Titles via Screeners or Rentals will equal the amount actually paid by the authorized user for that access, exclusive of any taxes, and (ii) Film Bureau will be entitled to an adjustment for customer refunds and credits and for amounts not collected due to bad debt. If we pay you License Fees on a sale and later issue a refund, return, or credit for that sale, we may offset the amount of the License Fees that we previously paid to you for the sale against future License Fees, or require you to remit that amount to us. If a third party asserts that you did not have all rights required to make one of your Titles available through the Service or if we determine that you may be in breach of this Agreement, we may withhold all License Fees due to you pending resolution of the issue. If we determine that you did not have all of the required rights or that you have otherwise breached this Agreement with regard to a Title, we will not owe you License Fees for that Title and we may offset any of the License Fees that were previously paid against future License Fees, or require you to remit a refund to us. We may also withhold and offset any sums you owe to us against amounts that are payable to you. When this Agreement terminates, we may withhold all License Fees due for a period of three months from the date they would otherwise be payable, in order to ensure our ability to offset any customer refunds or other offsets to which we are entitled. If we terminate your account because of your breach of this Agreement, you will forfeit any License Fees not paid from the date of the notice of termination. If after we have terminated your account, you open a new account without our express permission, we will not owe you any License Fees through the new account. Our exercise of these rights does not limit other rights we may have to withhold or offset License Fees or exercise other remedies under applicable law. For clarity, Film Bureau will not be obligated to pay License Fees for Non-transactional Access in connection with the viewing of any Title by a customer if that customer was granted access to that Title via Screeners or Rental. Film Bureau may sell your Titles using multiple currencies. You may elect on the Program Site to receive any License Fees owed to you (i) in the local currency applicable for the Titles viewed in each territory (the "Sale Currency") or (ii) the currency of a single territory in which the Titles are viewed. If we pay you in a currency other than the Sale Currency, we will convert the License Fees owed from the Sale Currency to the payment currency at a market exchange rate that we or our bank determine, which will be inclusive of all fees and charges for the conversion.
8. Taxes: As between the Parties, Film Bureau will be solely responsible for collecting and paying to the appropriate taxing authorities any national, state or local sales or use taxes, value added taxes ("VAT") or similar taxes (collectively "Transaction Taxes") applicable to Bookings by customers. Film Bureau will not be required to pay any taxes imposed on or measured by your net income, net profits, income, profits, revenues, gross receipts, franchise, doing business, capital, intangible, value added (other than value added tax in the nature of sales or use or similar taxes), net worth, all real property and ad valorem taxes imposed by any governmental authority on the fees payable to you under this Agreement, or similar taxes or taxes in lieu thereof, whether collected by withholding or otherwise. All payments payable by Film Bureau to you under this Agreement are inclusive of all Transaction Taxes that apply to the license of the Titles by you to Film Bureau, unless Film Bureau advises you otherwise. If and to the extent any payments hereunder are subject to and include any applicable Transaction Taxes, you will supply Film Bureau with an original, valid tax invoice, to the extent available under the applicable law, separately stating these Transaction Taxes, to enable Film Bureau to claim credit for these taxes as applicable. Film Bureau may provide you with an exemption certificate or equivalent information acceptable to the relevant taxing authority, in which case, you will not charge or collect the Taxes covered by such certificate. If taxes are required to be deducted or withheld on any payments to be made to you under applicable law, then Film Bureau will (i) deduct such taxes from the amount owed to you and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority as required by applicable law and (ii) secure and deliver to you a receipt or other legally required documentation for any taxes withheld as required under applicable laws. Payment to you as reduced by such deductions or withholdings will constitute full payment and settlement to you of amounts payable under this Agreement. Except as specified in this Section, each Party will be responsible for its own taxes as levied by the applicable taxing authorities; provided, any charges toward the stamp duty payable under the applicable laws shall be borne by you. Throughout the term of this Agreement, you will provide Film Bureau with any forms, documents or other certifications as may be required by Film Bureau to satisfy any information reporting or withholding tax obligations with respect to any payments under this Agreement.

Where any Delivery Materials have previously been delivered to Film Bureau by a third party, Content Provider will obtain any necessary clearances from such third party (if any) on behalf of Film Bureau and/or use its best efforts to assist Film Bureau in obtaining any such necessary clearances, to enable Film Bureau to use such previously delivered Delivery Materials.
