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.

Terms contained in any preprinted forms of Client, or other documentation or electronic procurement system, including, without limitation, terms contained in any purchase order, invoice, written or electronic communication or correspondence, or click-wrap/click-through agreement, are null and void and without effect.

3.1    Selection for Participation.
(a)    In General.  Selection of employees for participation in the Plan shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan Committee.  Participation in the Plan for one Plan Year does not ensure selection for participation in another Plan Year.   Incentive Awards will be granted on the first day of the Plan Year, or as otherwise expressly set out in the Plan, and will vest as described in Section 3.3.
(b)    New Hires.  The Plan Committee may select a newly hired employee of the Company or any affiliate for participation in the Plan Year in which such employee is hired.

(a)    First Vesting.  One-fourth (1/4) of the Incentive Award shall vest on the last day of the first Plan Year during which the grant is made (“First Vesting Date”).  Payment of the first vested portion of the Inventive Award will be made within thirty (30) days of the First Vesting Date. 
(b)    Second Vesting.  One-fourth (1/4) of the Incentive Award shall vest on the last day of the second Plan Year following the Granting Date (“Second Vesting Date”). Payment of the second vested portion of the Inventive Award will be made within thirty (30) days of the Second Vesting Date.
(c)    Third Vesting.  One-fourth (1/4) of the Incentive Award shall vest on the last day of the third Plan Year following the Granting Date (“Third Vesting Date”).  Payment of the third vested portion of the Inventive Award will be made within thirty (30) days of the Third Vesting Date.  
(d)    Fourth Vesting.  One-fourth (1/4) of the Incentive Award shall vest on the last day of the fourth Plan Year following the Granting Date (“Fourth Vesting Date”). Payment of the fourth vested portion of the Inventive Award will be made within thirty (30) days of the Fourth Vesting Date.  
3.4    Forfeiture/Vesting of Incentive Award Installments.
(a)    Forfeiture of Incentive Award.  If an Eligible Employee is not employed by the Company on the last day of the Plan Year, no Incentive Award shall be earned and no Incentive Award shall vest for such Plan Year.  Any Incentive Award that does not vest because the Eligible Employee is no longer employed by the company on the Vesting Date is forever forfeited by the Eligible Employee.
(b)    Employment Required for Vesting.  An Eligible Employee must continuously remain employed with the Company or an Affiliate (i) through the First Vesting Date to be entitled to payment of the First Vesting of the Incentive Award; (ii) through the Second Vesting Date to be entitled to receive payment of the Second Vesting of an Incentive Award; (iii) through the Third Vesting Date to be entitled to receive payment of the Third Vesting of an Incentive Award; and (iv) through the Fourth Vesting Date to be entitled to receive payment of the Fourth Vesting of an Incentive Award.  
(c)    Accelerated Vesting.  Notwithstanding anything in the contrary in this Section 3.4, if an Incentive Award for a Plan Year has been awarded and earned under Section 3.4 but is not fully vested and paid, upon (i) an Eligible Employee’s death; (ii) an Eligible Employee’s involuntary Separation from Service without Cause subsequent to a Change of Control; or (iii) an Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service due to Disability, the Eligible Employee or the Beneficiary or personal representative of a deceased Eligible Employee, as applicable, any unvested portion of such Incentive Award shall be immediately vested and such amounts will be paid in a lump sum within 60 days of the occurrence of the event.  Separation from Service for any other reason prior to the vesting date will result in forfeiture of all unvested Incentive Awards.  
ARTICLE IV.     
General Benefit Provisions
4.1    Restrictions on Alienation of Benefits.  No right or benefit under this Plan shall be subject in any manner to garnishment, attachment, anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, levy, execution or the claims of creditors, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and any attempt to so garnish, attach, anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, levy or execute on the same shall be null and void, and neither shall such benefits or beneficial interests be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person to whom such benefits or funds are payable.  If any Eligible Employee under this Plan should become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge any right to any Incentive Award earned under the Plan, then such Incentive Award may, in the sole discretion of the Plan Committee, be forfeited and canceled for all purposes.
4.2    No Trust.  No action under this Plan by the Company, the Board or Plan Committee shall be construed as creating a trust, escrow or other secured or segregated fund in favor of the Eligible Employee, his Beneficiary, or any other persons otherwise entitled to his Incentive Award.  The status of the Eligible Employee and his Beneficiary with respect to any liabilities assumed by the Company hereunder shall be solely those of unsecured creditors of the Company.  Any asset acquired or held by the Company in connection with liabilities assumed by it hereunder shall not be deemed to be held under any trust, escrow or other secured or segregated fund for the benefit of the Eligible Employee or his Beneficiaries, or to be security for the performance of the obligations of the Company or any Affiliate, but shall be, and remain a general, unpledged and unrestricted asset of the Company, at all times subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company.
4.3    Withholding for Income and Employment Taxes.  Since all amounts to be paid hereunder are to be considered a supplemental compensation paid for services rendered by the Eligible Employee, the Company shall comply with all federal and state laws and regulations respecting the withholding, deposit and payment of any income, employment or other taxes relating to any payments made under this Plan, and accordingly, all amounts payable under this Plan shall be subject to and reduced by the amount of such taxes.
4.4    No Interest on Incentive Award.  All Incentive Awards will be paid without interest or investment earnings of any kind whatsoever.
ARTICLE V.     
Provisions Relating to Eligible Employees
5.1    Information Required of Eligible Employees.  Payment of Incentive Awards shall begin as of the payment date(s) provided in this Plan and no formal claim shall be required.  The Plan Committee may make reasonable requests of Eligible Employees and Beneficiaries to furnish information, which is reasonably necessary and appropriate to the orderly administration of the Plan.
5.2    Benefits Payable to Incompetents.  Any benefits payable hereunder to a minor or other person under legal disability may be made, at the discretion of the Plan Committee, (i) directly to said person, or (ii) to a parent, spouse, relative by blood or marriage, or the legal representative of said person.  The Plan Committee shall not be required to see to the application of any such payment and the payee’s receipt shall be a full and final discharge of the Plan Committee’s responsibility hereunder.
5.3    Conditions of Employment Not Affected by Plan.  The establishment and maintenance of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any legal rights upon any Eligible Employee to the continuation of employment with the Company or any Affiliate, nor shall the Plan interfere with the rights of the Company or any Affiliate to discharge any Eligible Employee with or without cause.
ARTICLE VI.     
Administration
6.1    Administration of the Plan.  The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Committee.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Plan Committee shall have exclusive power to:
(d)    Select Eligible Employees for a Plan Year.
(e)    Determine the amount of Incentive Award, but generally in accordance with the compensation table established by the grade level classification of the employee.
(f)    Determine the terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, of an Incentive Award.
(g)    Take any and all other action they deem necessary or advisable for the proper operation or administration of the Plan.
6.2    Plan Committee to Make Rules and Interpret Plan.  The Plan Committee in its sole discretion shall have the authority, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to make all such determinations relating to the Plan as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, including any calculations necessary to determine the amount or existence of an Eligible Employee’s Incentive Award.  The Plan Committee’s interpretation of the Plan and all decisions and determinations by the Plan Committee with respect to the Plan shall be final, binding, and conclusive on all parties.
ARTICLE VII.     
Amendment, Termination and Forfeiture
7.1    Right to Amend Plan.  The Plan may be amended by the Company from time to time in any respect whatever by resolution of the Compensation Committee adopting such amendment.  Any amendments may be made retroactively, where in the judgment of the Compensation Committee retroactive application is necessary or advisable.
7.2    Right to Terminate Plan.  The Company expressly reserves the right to terminate this Plan in whole or in part at any time.  The Company shall determine a proposed date of termination, and the Plan Committee shall notify the Eligible Employees.  Provided, the termination of the Plan shall not interfere with the continued vesting and payment of a previously granted Incentive Award in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, assuming the Plan had continued in existence.  Such rights shall continue to be governed by the terms and provisions of this Plan after such date of termination.
ARTICLE VIII.     
Miscellaneous Provisions
8.1    Articles and Section Titles and Headings.  The titles and headings at the beginning of each Article and Section shall not be considered in construing the meaning of any provisions in this Plan.
