The term of this Agreement ( Term ) shall commence on the effective date of this letter and shall expire upon the later of (a) the first anniversary of such effective date, provided that the Term shall automatically be extended for additional, successive one-month periods unless one party gives the other party written notice of non-extension at least thirty (30) days in advance of such non-extension or (b) the expiration of the latest ending License Period. 6. Advertising. Licensee and its subdistributors (and third party advertising representatives retained by Licensee or such subdistributors) may insert advertising in the Content in a manner determined by Licensee in its sole discretion; provided however that Licensor reserves the right to provide Licensee with specific advertising guidelines and restrictions, which may include guidelines and restrictions applicable to particular categories of content (such as feature films). If Licensor delivers Content with pre-designated commercial break points, Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to insert advertisements within such commercial breaks if Licensee or its subdistributors are displaying mid-roll or interstitial advertising. 7.

In the event Licensee authorizes the exhibition of Content in exchange for a license fee rather than on a revenue share basis, Licensee shall remit to Licensor one hundred percent (100%) of all such license fees received by Licensee from its subdistributors with respect to the Content (including any flat fees or other license fees paid to Licensee by third parties for exhibition of the Content on a Free-On-Demand basis to the extent such fees are not calculated as a share of advertising revenues). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Licensee and a subdistributor characterize a share of advertising revenues paid to Licensee for the right to exhibit the Content as a license fee, such revenues shall be included in Adjusted Gross Advertising Revenues pursuant to Section 7.1 for the purposes of determining the amount payable to Licensor by Licensee pursuant to this Agreement. 7.3 All payments due to Licensor hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars within 45 days of the end of the quarter in which the payment obligation is incurred and shall be made by wire transfer to: Sony Pictures Television
