NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, terms and conditions set out herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,

 1. Distribution. Licensor appoints
Licensee to act as Licensor’s exclusive distributor in connection with all sales, licensing, distribution and other commercial exploitation of the Holograms, including those currently existing and all future Holograms produced by or acquired by
Licensor, worldwide and for the Term in the Licensed Media (as such terms are defined below), in all formats and versions (including, without limitation, any segments derived from the Holograms), as further set forth in this Agreement. Licensee
shall additionally have the right to advertise and promote the Holograms, and arrange for the advertising and promotion of the Holograms, in all media now known or hereafter devised (the “Advertising Rights”). Licensee agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to effect maximum distribution of the Holograms in a manner that enhances the business, good name, goodwill and reputation of Licensee, Licensor and the Holograms and in a manner that complies with all applicable
laws. Licensee agrees to use good faith efforts to generate exposure for the Holograms and to maximize revenue from the sales, licensing, distribution and other commercial exploitation of the Holograms. However, Licensee makes no representations or
warranties as to its ability to obtain opportunities to commercially exploit the Holograms or generate any minimum amount of revenue. Subject to this Agreement, Licensee, in its sole discretion, shall determine how its services are to be performed.
All payments in respect of Licensee’s distribution of the Holograms shall be received directly by Licensee. 
 2. Term. This
Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and continue for a term of five (5) years (the “Term”), with successive one (1) year extensions unless written notice of termination of this Agreement, for any reason, is sent by either
Party to the other no later than sixty (6) days before the expiration of the then-current term.

other audiovisual recorders and/or players, and/or via “podcast” and/or via all other personal, digital, mobile and other devices, platforms and services, whether now known or hereafter devised, to any customer or audience worldwide (the
“Licensed Media”). 
 4. Distribution Net Revenues. All revenues received by Licensee in connection with all sales,
licensing, distribution and commercial exploitation of the Holograms hereunder, net of all direct costs and expenses incurred by Licensee for the advertising, promotion and distribution of the Holograms (the “Net Revenues”), shall be

Licensee of such materials necessary for the reasonable and efficient distribution and commercial exploitation of the Holograms (“Materials”) shall be at Licensor’s sole cost and expense. Licensor acknowledges and agrees that
Licensor’s failure to timely deliver Materials may prevent Licensee from making the Holograms available for distribution, and any delayed performance or non-performance by Licensee arising from (i) Licensor’s failure to meet its
delivery obligations of the Materials hereunder, or (ii) the failure of the video or audio elements of the Holograms to meet quality control standards of channel of distribution shall not be a breach hereof by Licensee. 

8. Ownership of Holograms. All ownership rights and title in and to the entire contents of the Holograms, including, but not limited
