(I) In the event that (A) WWO exercises the Option, (B) the Merger Agreement is entered into, (C) the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(vi) of the Merger Agreement and (D) Network has paid all of the amounts due under Sections 2.3(d)(i) — (v) prior to such termination, then (x) the Exclusive Period automatically shall extend until December 31, 2012, and (y) the Term automatically shall extend until December 31, 2012; and
(II) Subject to Section 2.4(b), in the event that Network has paid all amounts due under Sections 2.3(d)(i) — (v) and (A) the Exclusive Period extends until December 31, 2011 (as otherwise provided herein), then Network agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Network shall fail to meet the 2010 Threshold Amount on or before December 31, 2010 then the Exclusive Period granted hereunder shall terminate automatically without notice on December 31, 2010, or (B) the Term of the exclusivity extends until December 31, 2012 (as provided in Section 2.3(d)(vi)(I)), then Network agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Network shall fail to meet the 2010 Threshold Amount on or before December 31, 2010 then the exclusivity of the Rights granted hereunder shall terminate automatically without notice on December 31, 2011. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the failure of Network to meet the 2010 Threshold Amount as provided above is due to TrafficLand’s failure to meet the requirements set forth in the fourth sentence of Section 2.4(b), then the provisions of this Section 2.3(d)(vi)(II) shall no longer apply and the exclusivity shall continue until December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2012, as the case may be and as provided elsewhere herein.
(eNon-Exclusivity. If the Exclusive Period terminates at any time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then, for the remainder of the Term, Network’s Rights shall be non-exclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the expiration of the Exclusive Period granted hereunder, TrafficLand agrees (i) that until the expiration of the Term, neither TrafficLand, its affiliates or any Third Party on behalf of TrafficLand or its affiliates will enter into any agreement for Licensed Content with any Network Affiliate (except in the event that a Network Affiliate is also a TrafficLand Existing Customer, in which event Section 2.3(f) below shall apply), and (ii) that with respect to entities that are not Network Affiliates, but which Network contacted directly either in person or by telephone at any time during the Exclusive Period in connection with licensing of the Products (referred to as “Network Contacts”) and about which Network has provided TrafficLand the information required by Section 4.3(d), Network shall have the exclusive right for a period of one (1) year after the expiration of the Exclusive Period hereunder to enter into an agreement for the Licensed Content with all such Network Contacts. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties recognize and agree that TrafficLand will continue to provide products and services which may be similar to the Licensed Content pursuant to the terms of the TrafficLand Existing Agreements and nothing herein shall prevent TrafficLand from doing the same provided, however, that at any time during which Network’s Rights hereunder are exclusive, TrafficLand will not amend, alter, renew, extend or otherwise modify any TrafficLand Existing Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided for in Section 2.3(f) below. When the Exclusive Period terminates, TrafficLand may conduct business in any manner not specifically prohibited by this Section 2.3(e).
(f) TrafficLand Existing Customers. Notwithstanding Network’s exclusive rights as set forth in Section 2.3(d) above, with respect to TrafficLand Existing Customers:

 

Page 9


 

(i) TrafficLand shall continue to be permitted to service all such customers for the duration of the Term. Any renewal, amendment, extension or other modification of any existing agreement (which includes any “automatic renewal or extension” contemplated therein) (I) shall only be entered into if there is no material change to the grant of rights or territory (i.e. MSA) that is applicable to such customer as of the Effective Date and (II) shall not be inconsistent in any manner with the rights provided to Network herein. Additionally, prior to re-signing, renewing, amending, extending or otherwise modifying any TrafficLand Existing Agreement with a TrafficLand Existing Customer, TrafficLand agrees to meet with Network and discuss whether such customer is a candidate to license Network Products, it being understood that except for conducting such meeting there shall be no obligation for any TrafficLand Existing Customer to actually license from Network any of the Network Products; and
(ii) With respect to the Nationwide Customer (and any of its affiliated entities), in addition to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.3(f)(i) above, TrafficLand agrees: (I) within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (or some other time as the Parties shall mutually agree) to meet with Network and develop a comprehensive approach to providing both Licensed Content and Network Product to the Nationwide Customer during the Term; and (II) that during the Exclusive Period, any proposed revision, amendment, extension, replacement or modification of the agreement between TrafficLand and the Nationwide Customer will be subject to the mutual approval of the parties hereto; provided, however, that this Section 2.3(f)(ii) shall not prevent TrafficLand from amending, revising or modifying its current agreement with the Nationwide Customer so long as any changes to the existing agreement are not material changes in the grant of rights, length of term, compensation or any other material provision and are not otherwise inconsistent with the exclusive rights granted to Network hereunder.
(iii) If TrafficLand renews, amends, extends, or otherwise modifies any existing agreement with a TrafficLand Existing Customer, it shall advise Network of such change, including any applicable pricing change on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar quarter. If any such renewed, amended, extended, or otherwise modified agreement with a TrafficLand Existing Customer provides for prices that are less than the amounts set forth in the Rate Card, and if Network so requests, TrafficLand shall in good faith consider (I) lowering the amounts set forth in the Rate Card; and/or (II) permitting Network in certain instances to charge amounts that are less than the amounts set forth in the Rate Card.
(g) Right of First Refusal. In the event that TrafficLand (i) collects content from locations outside the Territory (“Out-of-Territory Content”) or (ii) creates, develops or licenses from a Third Party any new product, technology or service (which shall, subject to Section 3.1(c), include Broadcast 3.0) (each a “New Offering”), and wishes to license any of the same to any Exclusive Entities whether in the Territory or out of the Territory, TrafficLand shall promptly provide Network with written notice of the same. If, within thirty (30) days of such notice, Network provides written notice to TrafficLand of Network’s interest in licensing and distributing such Out-of-Territory Content or New Offering, TrafficLand shall then negotiate in good faith exclusively with Network to reach a mutually agreeable arrangement with respect to the distribution of such Out-of-Territory Content or New Offering for a period of (i) fifteen (15) days in the case of Out-of-Territory Content and (ii) ninety (90) days in the case of a New Offering. If the Parties cannot reach an agreement within such period, TrafficLand may enter into an agreement with any other party for distribution of the Out-of-Territory Content or New Offering, provided that such agreement is completed upon terms more favorable to TrafficLand than the terms last proposed by Network during the exclusive negotiating period for distribution of such Out-of-Territory Content or New Offering; otherwise, TrafficLand shall re-offer to Network the ability to close an agreement with Network on such prior terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall TrafficLand license (or allow any other Third Party to license) any New Offering to any Exclusive Entities within the Territory prior to the expiration of the Exclusive Period, provided however that TrafficLand may license a New Offering to any TrafficLand Existing Customer provided it licenses the New Offering at the same rate as otherwise agreed to with Network, or if Network and TrafficLand have not agreed upon a rate, at the last rate offered by TrafficLand to Network.

(a) Access, Delivery. For each Active MSA, TrafficLand will make the Products available for download as Network directs by HTTPS, HTTP, or some other mutually agreeable protocol. Without limiting the foregoing, any such electronic format will enable Network to access and/or download, as applicable, the Products on a basis no less favorable than TrafficLand provides to any other Third Party (absent any technical obstacle which may exist from time-to-time that would prevent TrafficLand from fulfilling this obligation). At all times during the Term, for each Active MSA TrafficLand will make the Products available to Network pursuant to the following time periods: (A) Broadcast Product shall be delivered to Network (and/or its Broadcast Partners) no later than fifteen (15) days after the successful installation of required additional telco circuit (it being understood that a telco circuit typically takes 30-45 calendar days to install); (B) Web Product shall be delivered to Network (and/or its affiliates or Web Customers) no later than five (5) business days after the request therefore; and (C) VDS shall be delivered to Network (and/or its affiliates or Broadcast Customers) no later than five (5) business days after the request therefor. In the event that the Products include URLs, any such URL provided by TrafficLand will link directly to a page on TrafficLand’s website that contains, and is directly relevant to, the Product. Network will protect the Products from unauthorized use in the same manner that Network protects its own content and services.
(b) Updates. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, TrafficLand will provide the Updates to the Licensed Content outlined in Exhibit D on or near the dates described therein and shall make available to Network all Updates made available to TrafficLand’s other licensees. TrafficLand may also, from time-to-time, deliver additional Updates provided that no such Update removes or reduces functionality or otherwise adversely impacts the performance or functionality of the Products. The providing of Updates during the Term will be done on a continuing basis by TrafficLand using commercially reasonable good faith efforts and in a manner that is consistent with TrafficLand’s past practices. Specifically, with respect to Future MSAs, TrafficLand agrees that during the Contract Years ending 2009 and 2010, respectively, TrafficLand will enter into agreements with DOTs which will cover no less than 46 MSAs in 2009 (of which no fewer than 29 will include a coverage area in the top 50 MSAs) and 71 MSAs in 2010 (of which no fewer than 45 will include a coverage area in the top 50 MSAs). In the event that TrafficLand fails to meet the requirements in any given Contract Year as provided in the forgoing sentence, then Network is relieved of its obligation to meet the 2010 Threshold Amount as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(d)(vi)(II). In making and scheduling Updates, TrafficLand shall meaningfully consult with Network and consider any feedback provided by Network. Network shall have the opportunity to test and accept Updates in accordance with Section 3.2.

2.5 Customer Agreements. Network agrees to cause all Broadcast Customers and Web Customers that use the Products pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to enter into an agreement with Network (each a “Customer Agreement”) that requires each such customer to (a) adhere to the restrictions for the use of such Product as set forth herein, (b) to follow the TrafficLand Terms and Conditions and (c) to include in a customary notice provision anywhere a Product is made available digitally that capturing, screen scraping and other unauthorized use of such Product is prohibited. Each Customer Agreement shall be entered into between Network and such applicable customer, and the terms and conditions of all such agreements shall be based upon Network’s customary agreements which it enters into with its own customers from time to time. Network and its customers may hyperlink the “TrafficLand.com” logo attribution to TrafficLand’s live video stream on TrafficLand’s website for that particular video feed. Network agrees not to enter into Customer Agreements for Licensed Content or Products with a term of greater than three (3) years without the express written consent of TrafficLand, and such Customer Agreements may not be renewed for more than two (2) additional years without the express written consent of TrafficLand, all as otherwise provided in Section 8.7(a).
2.6 TrafficLand’s Reservation of Rights. Subject to the license granted hereunder with respect to the Rights, as between the Parties, TrafficLand retains any right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Content in accordance with and subject to applicable law.
2.7 Network’s Reservation of Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, TrafficLand acknowledges and agrees that it will not have any right, title or interest in any information, content, or data, including all Network Products, used by Network or its affiliates, in conjunction with or in association with the Products, including the non-TrafficLand aspects of Network Products that may include the Products. Network, its affiliates and/or its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Network Products provided that it is understood that TrafficLand shall have no right to any Network Product even if Licensed Content is included therein (but which shall have no bearing on TrafficLand’s continued ownership of Licensed Content). Additionally, TrafficLand understands and agrees that nothing in this Agreement will prevent or restrict Network from using content Network obtains from a source other than TrafficLand under this Agreement.
3.0 TRAFFICLAND SERVICES
3.1 Services. In addition to the rights granted to Network above, in exchange for the Initial Payment, and other good and valuable consideration received hereunder, TrafficLand shall provide to Network the services described in this Section 3.1 and in the Exhibits referenced in this Section 3.1 (the “TrafficLand Services”). The TrafficLand Services shall include the following:
(a) Referrals. During the Exclusive Period, TrafficLand shall promptly notify Network of all leads, requests for information, requests for licenses and similar information known to or received by TrafficLand from any Exclusive Entities (including Network Affiliates) seeking any of the Products, except for TrafficLand Existing Customers (which are otherwise covered by Section 2.3(f)).
(b) Customizations. From time-to-time during the Term, Network may request that TrafficLand develop for Network a modification or enhancement of the Products to provide certain functionality or compatibility with a Network Product as desired by Network (each, a "Customization”). The specifications and terms of development for such Customization will be set forth in a Statement of Work in the form of Exhibit F (the “Statement of Work”) which shall be executed by both Parties and shall reference this Agreement and be made a part hereof. Each Statement of Work shall be negotiated by Network and TrafficLand and shall set forth any additional terms and conditions under which TrafficLand will provide the Customization to Network, including a set

 

Page 12


 

of measurable functional and performance specifications and/or service levels for the purpose of permitting testing and acceptance of such Customization, the timeframe for the completion of such Customization, the estimated cost, and, as applicable, the rate at which such Customization will be provided to customers and any share of revenue between the Parties generated from the distribution of such Customization. Unless otherwise agreed by the Network in writing, Network shall have the perpetual exclusive right to offer for sale, sell and distribute all Customizations. For avoidance of doubt it is understood that a Statement of Work may only be effective at such time that both parties have executed the same.
(c) Future Developments. TrafficLand shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete development of Broadcast 3.0 on or before June 30 2009. During such development period, Network shall be included in development discussions (including being provided with a copy of all deliverables and specifications of Broadcast 3.0 as they are being developed) so that Network can provide meaningful input in the development and progress of the same in order that the finished product meets Network’s reasonable expectations. For avoidance of doubt it is the parties’ intent that Broadcast 3.0 be a “best in class” traffic graphics television product. Upon the release of Broadcast 3.0, Network shall have the exclusive right to access, use and test, pursuant to Section 3.2, Broadcast 3.0 for a period of ninety (90) days (“Testing Period”) during which time Network will work with TrafficLand to confirm that Broadcast 3.0 is ready to deliver to Broadcast Customers, TrafficLand agreeing to work with Network in good faith to correct any deficiencies in Broadcast 3.0 of which TrafficLand has been notified by Network. To the extent that Network wishes to change Broadcast 3.0 in a manner which in TrafficLand’s good faith judgment would represent a material, unbudgeted change to the specifications from which Broadcast 3.0 was created, then such change shall be deemed a Customization and the parties hereto shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 3.1(b), provided that there shall be no obligation for Network to agree to pay for such Customization nor an obligation for TrafficLand to accept terms of any Customization. At the conclusion of such Testing Period, provided that Network and TrafficLand have agreed upon the licensing fees associated with Broadcast 3.0, then Network shall have the exclusive right to market, promote, offer for sale, sell, distribute and sublicense Broadcast 3.0 for Broadcast Clients and Web Clients for the duration of the Term, or if Broadcast 3.0 is delivered at any time during 2011, then for a period of one (1) year from the completion of the Testing Period, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, TrafficLand shall be permitted to license Broadcast 3.0 to TrafficLand Existing Customers (and to any Third Party for use that is not competitive to the Broadcast Product or the Web Product) at any time after the completion of the Testing Period. In the event that the parties are unable to reach an agreement for the terms of the licensing of Broadcast 3.0, then notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Broadcast 3.0 be licensed by TrafficLand to any Exclusive Entity for a period of one (1) year after the Testing Period (except that TrafficLand will continue to be permitted to license Broadcast 3.0 to TrafficLand Existing Customers as otherwise permitted above (provided further that all such licenses are completed at the TrafficLand “asking price” as last presented to Network). If Network is interested in licensing and distributing Broadcast 3.0, Network shall provide written notice of the same to TrafficLand no later than the date of the expiration of the Testing Period. Upon receipt of such notice, Broadcast 3.0 shall be deemed part of the Broadcast Product and, except as provided under Section 5.2(b), rights equivalent to those rights granted hereunder with respect to the Broadcast Product shall thereby, with no further action needed by either Party, be granted with respect to Broadcast 3.0. In the event that Network fails to provide such notice before the expiration of the Testing Period, then TrafficLand will request Network to confirm whether it intends to license Broadcast 3.0 before TrafficLand begins to offer it itself or to others. TrafficLand will consult with Network regarding the schedule of markets in which Broadcast 3.0 shall be made available and the timing of availability of Broadcast 3.0 in such markets.

(d) Network Cameras.
(i) TrafficLand will undertake a review of the geographical coverage of each of Network’s proprietary cameras (“Network Cameras”) to determine the feasibility of digitizing the Network Cameras and which of the Network Cameras may provide coverage that is redundant of the Licensed Content. After this work is complete, TrafficLand will oversee all efforts to digitize all of the Network Cameras so that each Network Camera is capable of being displayed digitally (i.e. all images, data and feeds from the Network Cameras that Network selects (the resulting content being referred to as the “Network Camera Content”) shall be capable of being displayed); such that the Network Camera Content is (A) subject to Section 3.1(d)(ii), capable of being incorporated into the Licensed Content, (B) made available to Network in the manner described in Sections 2.1 and 2.3, and (C) of the quality, and accessible to the same degree, as the Licensed Content. The responsibilities of each party for the digitization of Network Cameras (including responsibility for the costs associated therewith) shall be as set forth in Exhibit M attached hereto.
(ii) With respect to the Network Camera Content the following will apply: (A) Network shall in its sole discretion decide which of the Network Camera Content may be included as Licensed Content (understanding that certain Network Camera Content may be subject to existing contractual obligations which preclude it from including the same) and (B) with respect to so-called “Glamour Cameras” (i.e. existing cameras which feature shots from unique/advantageous perspectives which are desirable for television broadcast) the parties shall negotiate any special pricing considerations in good faith prior to inclusion of any such cameras as Licensed Content, the decision to include at all times remaining with Network.
(e) Video Distribution Services. During the Term, TrafficLand will provide to Network HTML code and other services sufficient to facilitate Network’s inclusion of TrafficLand’s so-called “Video Distribution Services” (“VDS”), as the same may be Updated from time to time, within all of Network’s operations centers, subject to the following:
(i) Network will be provided with a blanket license which will allow for the use of the VDS in various Network operations centers (as designated by Network from time to time) for up to as many concurrent users as it desires, provided however, that at all times such license shall be for a minimum of fifty (50) concurrent users;
(ii) A “concurrent user” means that for each VDS provided, such VDS shall be operated at a designated work station within a Network operations center, provided that each such work station may be used and viewed by more than one person within that same operations center;
(iii) For each VDS delivered hereunder, TrafficLand agrees to provide access to an unlimited use of all available video from each applicable MSA(s) serviced by each particular operations center in which each VDS is located and as Network shall designate from time to time; the MSA(s) served by each such operation center shall be designated by Network;
(iv) The license fee due with respect to the VDS as provided under this Section 3.1(e) shall be as otherwise set forth in the Rate Card for an amount equal to $5,000 per month (for the minimum of fifty (50) concurrent users). In the event that Network requests that more than fifty (50) concurrent users be provided for at any time during the Term, then TrafficLand agrees to add all such concurrent users, provided that not less than ten (10) concurrent users may be added at any one time by Network and the fee for such additional concurrent users shall be equal to $1,000 per each ten (10) concurrent users; and

 

Page 14


 

(v) All amounts payable to TrafficLand pursuant to this Section 3.1(e) shall be applicable against the Prepayment.
(f) DOT Services. Each of TrafficLand and Network currently provide various services to various DOTs, including 511 services, consulting services and technical and infrastructure upgrades (“DOT Services”), as applicable to each Party. The Parties hereby mutually agree, promptly following the Effective Date, to meet and determine in good faith whether there is any collaborative effort that the Parties would make collectively with respect to the further providing and expanding of DOT Services by either of them, although there shall be no obligation on the parties to come to such an agreement. In addition, the parties generally agree to cooperate in good faith during the Term with respect to all communications with any of the applicable DOTs which either of the Parties works with from time to time.
3.2 Testing and Acceptance of the Products. In addition to TrafficLand’s undertakings in connection with any New Offering, TrafficLand shall during the Term provide notice to Network when any New Offering, Product, Upgrade or Customization (which, subject to Section 3.1(c), shall include Broadcast 3.0) (each, a “New Application”) is complete and ready for testing by Network. Such Notice shall list all known defects contained in the New Application as of the date of such Notice. Network shall then promptly test the New Application to confirm that it performs in accordance with any applicable Documentation in all material respects. If Network determines that such New Application is not acceptable, Network shall provide written notice of the same to TrafficLand detailing the problem and TrafficLand and Network will work together in good faith to promptly remedy the problem.
3.3 Level of Service. At all times during the Term, TrafficLand will provide (at its own cost and expense) support for the Licensed Content, Products and the TrafficLand Services in accordance with the Service Level Agreement set forth in Exhibit G. In connection with both the Service Level Agreement and the TrafficLand Terms and Conditions, the parties hereto agree that no later than sixty (60) days after the execution hereof, that the parties will meet and review each document to collectively agree in good faith as to any modifications which may be necessary to either or both of such documents in order to comply with any requirements as set forth in applicable DOT Agreement and other customary terms for the industry. In the event that the parties are unable to reach an agreement as to any such amendment then the terms of each document shall remain in full force and effect.
3.4 Patent Control. TrafficLand represents that it controls the preparation, prosecution and maintenance of any TrafficLand patent application or patent filed, pending or issued during the Term (“TrafficLand Patents”), provided that at all times during the Term, TrafficLand will immediately notify Network of any correspondence regarding the TrafficLand Patents from the US Patent and Trademark Office or other domestic or foreign government entity and TrafficLand will meaningfully consult with Network regarding all matters related to or in connection with the prosecution and maintenance of the TrafficLand Patents, including with respect to what foreign jurisdictions patent applications will be filed.

4.0 NETWORK OBLIGATIONS
4.1 Advertising Sales. TrafficLand hereby appoints Network at all times during the Exclusive Period as one of its non-exclusive sales agents, subject to TrafficLand’s existing advertising representation agreements as set forth in Exhibit C, with respect to the sale, use and disposition of all advertising inventory controlled by TrafficLand resulting from any TrafficLand application on the Internet, world wide web and/or any other digital mobile application (including banner advertisements, roll-over advertisements, :5, :10, :15, :30 and :60 second commercial inventory, pre-roll sponsorships, title/program sponsorships, “mentions"/“billboards” and any new form of advertising created or used at any time during the Term) owned, controlled, or otherwise inuring to the benefit of TrafficLand during the Term (“Advertising Inventory”). Network hereby accepts such appointment. If Network notifies TrafficLand that it has hired dedicated digital salespersons, TrafficLand will give good faith consideration to commencing an advertising relationship with Network upon the expiration of TrafficLand’s contracts with existing ad sales representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will TrafficLand modify, extend or amend either of their existing agreements (as provided in this Section 4.1) or enter into new agreements covering the same, without providing Network with the first opportunity to expand its then existing advertising sales capabilities to TrafficLand.
4.2 Marketing Materials. All promotional and marketing materials developed and distributed by Network in furtherance of Network’s obligations under Section 4.1 are subject to TrafficLand’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
4.3 Customer Contacts. During the Term, Network agrees to keep TrafficLand informed concerning all third parties that Network contacts with respect to the licensing of Licensed Content. No later than thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter WON agrees to send to TrafficLand a list of all such contacts providing both the name of the potential customer, the person contacted and the mode of communication.
5.0 FEE/PREPAYMENT/REVENUE SHARE/COSTS/ACCOUNTING
5.1 Fees. In addition to the Initial Payment, Network shall pay to TrafficLand certain fees in accordance with Section 2.3(d) of this Agreement (any such amounts paid under said Section 2.3(d), plus the Initial Payment paid by Network to TrafficLand on the date hereof, are collectively referred to herein as the “Fee”).
5.2 Prepayment. An amount equal to forty percent (40%) of the aggregate of all payments making up the Fee shall be deemed a prepayment against the TrafficLand Revenue Share (the "Prepayment”) and shall be fully recoupable by Network by withholding amounts otherwise payable to TrafficLand pursuant to Sections 5.3(a), 5.3(b), 5.3(c) and 5.3(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the sake of clarity, it is agreed that (i) if Network fails to make additional payments beyond the Initial Payment then the provisions of this Section 5.2 shall not be applicable to the Initial Payment and (ii) provided that at least one (1) additional payment as set forth in Section 2.3(d) is made by Network then the aggregate of the Initial Payment and all subsequent payments shall be applicable in making the calculation of the Prepayment as provided for above.
5.3 Licensing Revenue Share. In addition to the amounts payable to TrafficLand pursuant to Section 5.1 above, TrafficLand shall be entitled to receive as additional consideration those amounts which are computed as provided in Sections 5.3(a), 5.3(b), 5.3(c) and 5.3(d) below (i.e. the TrafficLand Revenue Share), but which TrafficLand Revenue Share shall be applied to the Prepayment, on a continuing basis until such time as the Prepayment is fully recouped, except as provided for in Section 5.3(e).

 

Page 16


 

(a) Broadcast Product. Network agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute the Broadcast Product at the rates for each MSA as set forth in the Rate Card (“Broadcast Product Fee”).
(b) Broadcast 3.0. At such time that Broadcast 3.0 is available for distribution, the Parties shall mutually agree in good faith as to the fee that will be charged to any Exclusive Entities for the use of Broadcast 3.0 (“Broadcast 3.0 Fee”), and such amount shall thereafter be deemed the rate as set forth in the Rate Card. The parties agree that any such fee shall be determined by taking into account the then current pricing of similar type graphic services being provided by Third Parties and/or Network and financial health of the television industry as a whole.
(c) Web Product. Network agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute the Web Product at the rate for each MSA as set forth in the Rate Card (“Web Product Fee”). Network may, from time to time, provide a discount for those Web Customers providing a significant volume of traffic (the determination of what is significant shall be made in good faith by the Network taking into account the average amount of traffic generated by Web Customers) but any such discount shall remain subject to TrafficLand’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld.
(d) VDS. Network, at its sole discretion, may license the VDS to Broadcast Customers and Web Customers and, in the event that it does so, it shall license the same at a price for each MSA as set forth in the Rate Card (“VDS Fee ”).
(e) TrafficLand Revenue Share. TrafficLand Revenue Share (as defined herein) shall be computed as follows:
(i) At the end of each quarter during the Term, Network will make a computation based upon all Customer Agreements then in effect and will include in such computation the aggregate amounts as set forth in the Rate Card as are applicable for each of the Broadcast Customers and Web Customers, all in compliance with Sections 5.3(a) — (d) (the “Aggregate Licensed Amount”).
(ii) From the Aggregate Licensed Amount (and after deduction of any amounts as per Section 5.8), TrafficLand shall have earned and Network shall pay to TrafficLand an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) (“TrafficLand Revenue Share”) of the Aggregate Licensed Amount with the fifty percent (50%) balance of the Aggregate Licensed Amount being retained by Network for its own account.
(iii) From the TrafficLand Revenue Share, the following additional payments shall be made: (A) for all amounts earned on or before the expiration of the Initial Period (I) Network shall be entitled to apply (and keep for its own account) an amount equal to seventy five percent (75%) of the TrafficLand Revenue Share, which amount shall be applied towards recoupment of the Prepayment; and (II) the remaining twenty five percent (25%) of the TrafficLand Revenue Share shall be paid to TrafficLand; and (B) for amounts earned after the expiration of the Initial Period (I) Network shall be entitled to apply (and keep for its own account) an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the TrafficLand Revenue Share, which amount shall be applied towards recoupment of the Prepayment; and (II) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the TrafficLand Revenue Share shall be paid to TrafficLand. At such time, if ever, that the Prepayment has been reduced to zero, all amounts as otherwise provided in Section 5.3(e) shall thereafter be paid to TrafficLand. For purposes of this Section 5.3(e), “amounts earned” shall mean as earned pursuant to the applicable agreement therefor as opposed to when such amounts are actually received.

 

Page 17


 

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Aggregate Licensed Amount shall not include revenue recognized by Network in exchange for Network Products, including any Network Products sold in combination with a Product. To the extent that Licensed Content is licensed in connection with Network Products, it may be done so at the sole discretion of Network provided that the applicable amount as set forth in the Rate Card for the corresponding MSA and corresponding Licensed Content is included in the computation of the Aggregate Licensed Amount. Additionally, it is understood that from time to time Network may, at its sole and absolute discretion, accept barter advertising (“Non-Cash Amounts”) in exchange for Licensed Content from any Broadcast Customer or Web Customer, provided, however, that in connection with all such arrangements, Network agrees to allocate for purposes of determining the Aggregate Licensed Amount hereunder an amount equal to the applicable amount for such Licensed Content as otherwise provided in the Rate Card for the corresponding MSA.
(f) Additional Agreements.
(i) MSA. The MSA applicable to the market for each Broadcast Customer and Web Customer for purposes of this Section 5.3 shall be determined as otherwise provided for in Exhibit H.
(ii) Rate Card Rate. Except as otherwise provided for above, it is agreed that Network may not enter into a Customer Agreement at a rate that is less than the amount otherwise set forth in the Rate Card for such applicable Product and applicable MSA, unless it shall have first received written consent from TrafficLand to do the same.
5.4 Advertising Revenue Share. Network shall pay to TrafficLand fifty percent (50%) of the Net Advertising Revenue actually collected by Network hereunder during each Contract Year. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be specifically excluded from the Prepayment reimbursement, and will be paid directly to TrafficLand as provided in Section 5.6.
5.5 Costs. Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, each Party shall bear one-hundred percent (100%) of its costs of performance hereunder.
5.6 Payment Terms. The following payment terms shall apply to amounts due hereunder as follows:
(a) All amounts payable under Section 2.3 shall be paid on the dates indicated in such Section.
(b) All amounts earned and payable under Section 5.3(e) shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days following the end of each applicable quarter (ending March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 31).
(c) All amounts payable under Section 5.4 shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the end of each month during which any Net Advertising Revenue was actually received by Network.

5.7 Accounting. Together with each payment paid to TrafficLand under Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, Network shall provide to TrafficLand Network’s customary accounting statement detailing the calculation of such payment. Upon reasonable advance written notice to Network, TrafficLand and/or its agents shall have the right to inspect Network’s books and records solely with respect to the fees due to TrafficLand under Sections 5.3 and 5.4 (including the calculation of such fees). Such right of inspection is limited to a review of those books and records related to fees payable by Network to TrafficLand under Sections 5.3 and 5.4. Such inspection shall take place during regular business hours at the place or places where such books and records are normally retained by Network. TrafficLand shall pay all costs it incurs in connection with such inspection. Network shall pay all costs it incurs in retrieving and assembling such books and records to make the same available to TrafficLand. Any such inspections shall be conducted only by a certified public accountant approved by Network (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the so-called “Big Four” accounting firms being pre-approved), such inspection to be conducted in a manner as not to interfere with Network’s normal business activities. Network shall be furnished with a copy of such auditor’s report within thirty (30) days after the completion of such inspection. In no event shall any inspection continue for longer than ten (10) consecutive days, nor shall inspections be made hereunder more frequently than once annually, nor shall the records supporting any such statement be audited more than once. If TrafficLand discovers that Network has under reported any amounts payable to TrafficLand under Sections 5.3 and 5.4, Network shall promptly pay to TrafficLand the under reported amount; and if TrafficLand discovers that Network has over reported any amounts payable to TrafficLand under this Agreement, TrafficLand shall promptly notify Network of the same and pay to Network the over reported amount.
5.8 Taxes. The Parties agree that to the extent that sales tax may become due on any Products that Network will charge the customer for the same and pay all such collected amounts directly to the appropriate taxing authority. TrafficLand shall have no claim on any amounts charged as sales tax and in no event shall such amounts be included in the Aggregate Licensed Amount.

During the Term and for a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter (provided, however that (i) the obligations of Network concerning the Confidential Information of TrafficLand that relates to TrafficLand’s proprietary intellectual property, including proprietary configuration of equipment and proprietary software located at various state or local department of transportation facilities that use such equipment or software, shall survive for a period of thirty-six (36) months after the Term and (ii) the Receiving Party’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret of the Disclosing Party will continue for so long as such Confidential Information constitutes a trade secret under applicable law), the Receiving Party further agrees not to (x) use the Confidential Information in a competitive manner or in a manner otherwise detrimental or adverse to the best interests of the Disclosing Party; (y) use the Confidential Information for any purpose except for the express purposes contemplated herein; (z) disclose the Confidential Information to any person, except on a confidential basis to those of its Representatives who have a need to know such information, except as may be required by law as provided in Section 6.2; or (aa) take any other action with respect to the Confidential Information (or any part thereof) inconsistent with its confidential and proprietary nature.
6.2 Legally Required Disclosures. The obligations of confidentiality assumed under this Agreement will not apply to the extent that the Receiving Party is required to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information under any applicable law (including securities laws), regulation or an order from a court, regulatory agency or other governmental authority having competent jurisdiction, provided that the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party thereof to provide the Disclosing Party an opportunity to seek a protective order and that the Receiving Party discloses only such Confidential Information as is required.
6.3 Cooperation. Each Party agrees that, either upon learning of, or upon a showing by the other Party of, any threatened or actual breach of the provisions of this Section 6 or of any threatened or actual unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information, such Party will promptly notify the other Party and cooperate with such other Party’s efforts to seek appropriate injunctive relief or to prevent or curtail such unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.
