EXHIBIT 10.6
 
MASTER MULTIPLE SERVICES AGREEMENT
 
This Master Multiple Services Agreement ("Agreement"), effective as of July 1, 2015, is made by and between CÜR Media, LLC having its principal place of business at 2217 New London Turnpike, South Glastonbury, Connecticut 06073 ("Client") and Digitas, Inc., a Massachusetts limited liability company, having a place of business at 33 Arch Street, Boston, MA 02110 ("Provider"). The parties agree as follows:
 
Article 1. Services.
 
1.1. Generally. 
 
a. Services. Provider will provide the services specified in written Statements of Work (as defined below), to be mutually agreed upon (the "Services"). As further set forth herein, Provider shall submit, in a timely fashion, to Client for its approval all elements of any advertising, marketing, or other materials to be produced, published or placed hereunder and Client shall give all approvals in a timely fashion such that Provider can meet all applicable deadlines. Assuming Provider has provided elements to Client for approval in a timely fashion, if Client's delays in approval results in additional costs, fees, or other liabilities to Provider, Client shall pay all such reasonable additional costs or fees. Provider's performance depends upon Client fulfilling its responsibilities in a timely and sufficient manner. Client's failure to perform its responsibilities in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable SOW could negatively impact the schedule or cost of a project, and may require a Change Order (as defined below). Client acknowledges that Provider will serve as an agent for Client in purchasing services and materials from third parties, including, but not limited to, Data Providers and Content Providers; provided, however, that, other than as is expressly set forth in this Agreement, Provider may not bind or obligate Client without Client's prior written approval. A "Data Provider" means a third party vendor that provides services related to the collection, storage, processing or compilation of Client Data, including, without limitation, for the purpose of providing optimization and analytics services.A "Content Provider" means a third party that licenses content, including, without limitation, photographs, graphic materials, music or film footage. 
 
b. Statements of Work. A Statement of Work means a document incorporated herein by reference that is signed by the authorized representatives of both parties ("Statement of Work" or "SOW")[1]. The parties agree that the authorized representatives for this purpose shall initially be Todd Stanley for Provider and J.P. Lespinasse for Client. Any SOW may be modified by the parties by executing a change order ("Change Order") signed by authorized representatives of both parties. A Change Order may be initiated by either party in writing. All proposed Change Orders and the implications of the proposed changes (e.g., schedule changes, pricing changes) will be discussed in good faith by the parties' authorized representatives. If Client proposes modifications in a previously approved SOW which results in a reduction of 40% or more of the total estimated fee previously approved in a SOW, such actions may be deemed to be, at Provider's sole discretion, the equivalent of a termination of that SOW by Client, in which event the provisions of Article 5 shall govern. 
 
c. Review and Approval. Client is responsible for the legality, accuracy, completeness and propriety of the Client Materials (as defined below), including any information concerning its organization, products, services and industry which Client furnishes to Provider. If Deliverables (as defined below) are designated for publication, Client shall review all such Deliverables to confirm the accuracy and legality of any representations regarding Client's organization, products, services and industry. Client is responsible for its final decision to approve the use and publication of any Deliverable and is solely responsible for ensuring that all representations and descriptions comply with all legal and regulatory requirements, directives and guidelines. Provider will not use any materials in the Deliverables that have not been pre-approved by Client. With respect to any trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos or slogans that Client directs, instructs or authorizes Provider to use in the Deliverables (collectively, "Client Marks"), Client is solely responsible for conducting any legal review of such Client Marks, including trademark search and clearance activities. To the extent that Provider develops any new trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos or slogans for Client pursuant to a SOW ("New Marks"), Provider's development of New Marks shall be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall be solely responsible for determining whether any such New Marks are cleared for use in any particular country, can be registered as trademarks in any jurisdiction, or can otherwise be registered or protected under applicable law.

d. Acceptance. Client's acceptance of Deliverables shall be based on material compliance with the specifications set forth in the applicable SOW. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable SOW, Client shall have five (5) days to accept or reject the applicable Deliverable following its delivery. If acceptance or rejection is not made within 5 days, no further work on the SOW schedule will be initiated. 
 
e. No Transfer of PII. Client will not transfer or disclose to Provider any information which by itself or in combination with other information can identify an individual ("PII") without Provider's prior written consent. If Client wishes to transfer or disclose PII to Provider, Client will provide at least ten (10) business days' prior written notice of such proposed transfer or disclosure. Except as expressly agreed by the parties in a SOW or other writing signed by the authorized representatives of both parties, Provider has no obligation to collect, store, process, compile, merge or otherwise receive any PII under this Agreement. 
 
f. Market Research Services. With Client's prior written approval, Provider may use third party market research services to generate consumer and market insights in connection with Services provided hereunder (collectively "Market Research Services"). Client acknowledges that any information provided to Client in connection with such Market Research Services is provided for informational purposes only and without representations or warranties of any kind. Client will pay a fee equal to 1% of the professional services fee in the applicable SOW for Market Research Services, which will be invoiced in equal amounts aligned with the invoice schedule set forth therein. 
 
g. Union Obligations. In the event Client authorizes Provider to produce materials that are subject to Union Obligations (as defined below) as a result of Provider's engagement of talent on Client's behalf (including without limitation actors, celebrities, voice-over performers, singers or musicians), Client shall be bound by the terms of such Union Obligations. Accordingly, Client agrees to reimburse Provider for any pre-approved fees, costs, fines, interest, penalties and expenses (and reasonable attorneys' fees) Provider incurs in connection with Union Obligations. Client will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) from third party claims that arise out of or relate to Union Obligations, or a breach of Client's obligations under any talent agreements. "Union Obligations" means all applicable payments, withholding taxes and filings, workers compensation claims and premiums, rates, use, reuse fees, and other obligations as may arise out of the employment of talent, including but not limited to, obligations to the Screen Actors Guild, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists or any other applicable union or pension plans related thereto, and any third party talent payment service or paymaster used in connection therewith. Client acknowledges that any talent agreements that are subject to Union Obligations generally cannot be assigned except to union signatories, unless the union agrees in writing to such assignment. Accordingly, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable union, upon the conclusion of any applicable talent agreement entered into by Provider or its representatives (including a third party talent payment service or paymaster), Client agrees to contract only with a signatory to the applicable Union Obligations with respect to the continued use and production of any materials produced by Provider pursuant to Union Obligations. In addition, Client agrees to cooperate fully with Provider and the respective unions on the assignment of any talent agreements, and to provide the necessary documentation to the unions, including, without limitation any financial and bank account information the union may require in connection with the transfer of any talent agreements.

Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit Recipient from developing or having developed for it, products, information, data concepts, systems or techniques that are similar to or compete with the products, concepts, systems or techniques contemplated by or embodied in the Confidential Information of the other party, or are derived therefrom, provided that Recipient does not violate any of its obligations under this Agreement in connection with such development.

The indemnified party will have the right to associate, at its own option and expense, in the defense of any claims under this Agreement. 
 
7.4.Infringement Remedy. If in Provider's opinion any Deliverable (or any portion thereof) is likely to become the subject of a third party claim of infringement, Client will cease using such Deliverable upon Provider's request. In addition, Provider will, at its option, either procure the right for Client to continue using the Deliverable, or replace or modify the same to be non-infringing; if neither of the forgoing options is reasonably available, Provider will refund to Client amounts paid for the Deliverable at issue. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Client, and the sole and exclusive obligation of Provider, relating to a claim that the Services or a Deliverable infringes any intellectual property right of a third party. 
 
Article 8. Miscellaneous.
 
8.1.Integration. This Agreement, together with each fully-executed SOW, constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Provider and Client with respect to the Services, and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written representations, understandings, agreements or communications between Provider and Client concerning the Services.

Either party may commence and prosecute an action arising out of or related to this Agreement or a SOW solely in the state courts located in New York County, New York or the federal district courts located in the Southern District of New York.

8.6. Force Majeure.Except with regard to payments due Provider, neither party will be liable for any delays or failures in performance due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

8.7.Non-solicit. The parties agree that during the term of this Agreement and for one (1) year following its termination date, they shall not, either directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any employee of the other party to leave for any reason whatsoever, or (ii) hire or solicit the services of any employee of the other party; provided, however, that the foregoing will not apply to either party's personnel responding to general employment solicitations that are not directed at either party's personnel. 
 
8.8.No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed or construed to create a joint venture, partnership, or similar relationship between the parties for any purpose. Each party is an independent contractor of the other, and Provider and its employees will not be entitled to any benefits accorded to employees of Client. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, neither party shall have any right or authority whatsoever to propose or accept, in the name and on behalf of the other party, any representation, undertaking, guarantee, promise, agreement, contract or any other kind of an obligation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider may identify Client as a client of Provider for promotional purposes and may use Client's logo in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider acknowledges that this Agreement may be deemed to be a "material contract" as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, and that the Client may therefore be required to file such document as an exhibit to registration statements or reports filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Provider further agrees that the status of such document as a material contract shall be determined solely by the Client, in consultation with its counsel.
