These Terms and Conditions are incorporated into the Agreement between Magnite and Company. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in
the Agreement.

1. TERMINATION. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing the other party with thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice. In addition to any other rights of termination provided for herein, this Agreement may be immediately terminated by a party if: (a) the other party commits a material breach of its obligations hereunder that is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice thereof from the non-breaching party; or (b) a petition in bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is filed or commenced by or against the other party, or an application is made for the appointment of a receiver (or equivalent in any applicable jurisdiction) for the other party or its property, or the other party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is unable to pay its debts regularly as they become due, or ceases carrying on business in the ordinary course.

Upon termination, for any reason, of the Agreement, the following will survive: (i) any provisions specified by their terms to survive; and (ii) provisions of the Agreement that, by their nature, are applicable to matters at issue between the parties after termination of the Agreement, such as accrued unpaid payment obligations, limitation of liability, indemnities, confidentiality, and proprietary rights.  The termination of the Agreement shall be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the parties that may have accrued prior to the date of termination or expiration (as applicable).

2. PAYMENTS. All payments made by Magnite to Company under the Agreement are subject to Taxes and Reconciliation Adjustments, as applicable.

2.1 Customer is solely responsible for payment of any Taxes applicable to the Curator Share (whether those Taxes are collected and remitted by Magnite or paid directly to the relevant authorities by Customer), except for Taxes based on Magnite’s net income. Customer shall provide Magnite with an IRS form W9 or W-8BEN, as applicable. Upon Magnite’s request and as applicable, Customer shall also provide Magnite with a treaty residency certificate, VAT registration proof, and/or any other relevant documents for tax compliance purposes.

 “Taxes” means all federal, state, local, foreign and other net income, gross income, gross receipts, sales, purchase, use, ad valorem, value added, goods and services, harmonized sales, transfer, franchise, profits, withholding, payroll, excise, stamp, real or personal property, customs, duties or other taxes, fees, levies, assessments or charges of any kind, including any related penalties and interest, imposed by any federal, territorial, state, local, or foreign government or any agency or political subdivision of any such government. All amounts payable or receivable hereunder are exclusive of any Taxes.

2.2 “Reconciliation Adjustments” are monthly adjustments made by Magnite to Company’s account(s), if necessary, to withhold, recover, or reconcile Curator Share payments made to Company when: (a) the applicable Curated Transaction(s) that generated Company’s Curator Share is/are deemed invalid; (b) the applicable DSP did not submit payment to Magnite for the subject Curated Transaction(s); (c) the payments made to Company reflected reporting or statistical errors; and/or (d) Company owes other monies to Magnite.

Magnite reserves the right to recover its distribution of any Curator Share amount for Reconciliation Adjustments and to delay payment of the Curator Share if Company fails to complete any tax or reporting forms reasonably requested by Magnite or to provide Magnite with accurate tax information.  If the total Curator Share amount due to Company in a particular month are less than $100, such amount will not be distributed unless Company provides a written request for distribution in each instance. For any invoice issued by Magnite to recover distribution of Company’s Curator Share pursuant to this Agreement, Company agrees to pay Magnite the amount invoiced within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY. Any information (financial, business or otherwise) relating to either party, that is, or would reasonably be considered to be, confidential, including but not limited to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, is confidential (the “Confidential Information”). Neither party will share or publicly reveal any Confidential Information, without the prior written consent of the other party, unless such information: (i) becomes known to the general public without fault or breach on the part of the party receiving the information (the “Receiving Party”): (ii) is information that the Receiving Party can show with documentary evidence was in its possession prior to disclosure by the party disclosing the information (the “Disclosing Party”); (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party’s personnel without any access to similar information from the Disclosing Party; or (iv) is required to be disclosed by applicable law or court order, provided that Receiving Party, as legally permitted, provides Disclosing Party with (a) prompt prior notice of such compelled disclosure (and limits its disclosure strictly to what is compelled) and (b) reasonable assistance (at Disclosing Party’s expense) if Disclosing Party seeks to contest the disclosure. Despite the above, the parties understand and agree that they may reveal Confidential Information to any of their respective employees, affiliates and/or subcontractor(s) (collectively, “Representatives”) on a ‘need to know basis’ to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement, provided that those Representatives are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein.  Receiving Party shall be responsible and liable for failure by any party to which it discloses Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to treat that information in accordance with Receiving Party’s obligations. Receiving Party shall protect the confidentiality of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event using less than reasonable care).
