Third Amendment (“AMENDMENT”) to 

Portal and Advertising Services Agreement

 

This Third Amendment is entered into and effective as of March 10, 2017 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), by and between AT&T Services, Inc., for and on behalf of its operating Affiliates, and Synacor, Inc., and hereby amends the Portal and Advertising Services Agreement, as amended (the “Portal Agreement”), between them which has an effective date of May 1, 2016, as set forth below. Capitalized terms used, but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Portal Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, AT&T desires to include Google Maps Content on the Portal, and AT&T has asked Synacor to obtain a license from Google Inc. (“Google”) for such purpose; and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth in this Amendment certain terms and conditions with regard to the license and display of the Google Maps Content on the Portal and related matters;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Google Maps Agreement.  Promptly after the Amendment Effective Date Synacor agrees to enter into an agreement with Google for the license and display of Google Maps Content on the Portal (the “Google Maps Agreement”). The Google Maps products and services, and related APIs of Google ordered by Synacor under the Google Maps Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Google Maps Services.”  [*]  




 

 

 

 


	
2.
	
Term. 




 


	
 
	
(a)
	
The initial term of the Google Maps Agreement will be [*] (“Initial Term”), and automatically will renew for consecutive [*] terms (each a “Renewal Period”), unless Synacor provides written notice of termination to Google at least [*] days prior to expiration of the then-current term.
