 xPublisher’s Web Sites: Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the pages under all of the domain names owned by Publisher that are not corporate domains *** (collectively, the “Designated Sites”). Publisher represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, the domains set forth on any written schedule of Designated Sites are all of the Designated Sites owned by Publisher. Overture shall have the right to exclude in writing any domains from the Designated Sites at its discretion (collectively, the “Excluded Sites”). For the purposes of this Agreement, the Designated Sites, excluding the Excluded Sites, together with all successor Web pages, shall be known as the “Publisher’s Web Sites.” ***

[***]Represents material which has been redacted and filed separately with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 


In the event Publisher acquires domain names, or an entity that owns domain names, that are subject to a separate existing agreement with Overture then such domain names shall automatically be added as additional Designated Sites that are included within the definition of Publisher’s Offering and Publisher’s Web Sites under this Agreement. At Overture’s acceptance of such Proposed Domains for inclusion under this Agreement, the parties agree to amend the Agreement to include any such additional Proposed Domains as Designated Sites (excluding any Excluded Sites) within the definitions of “Publisher’s Offerings” and, as applicable, “Publisher’s Web Sites.”

 

3.Territory.

4.Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and continue in force until *** (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement or extended pursuant to any make-good period provided for in any applicable Rider. Thereafter, this Agreement will renew automatically for successive one-year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) until either party gives written notice to the other party of its intent not to renew no less than 60 days prior to the end of the Initial Term or, if during a Renewal Term, then 60 days prior to the end of the applicable Renewal Term. As used in this Agreement, “Term” means the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms.

The Overture Content delivered hereunder will be drawn from Overture’s indexes, which such indexes may be changed, updated and modified from time to time by Overture in its sole discretion.

 

 5.2Payments to Publisher. Overture shall pay to Publisher the compensation specified in each applicable Rider within forty-five (45) days after the end of the *** in which the applicable revenue was earned by Overture; provided, however, Overture will not be in breach for failing to make payment within the stated period for any compensation due Publisher in connection with the Territory other than the United States, where Publisher fails to comply with OSSIL invoicing requirements. Overture shall notify Publisher in advance of any applicable billing requirements. All payments will be made in U.S. dollars, calculated by Overture using the average exchange rate published from a nationally recognized source (e.g. Oanda.com, Wall Street Journal, Reuters, etc) for the currency in which payment is made by Advertisers. The “average exchange rate” will be the average of the daily exchange rates for the *** in which such amounts were recognized. Overture shall have no obligation to make any payment in any period where the aggregate amount due Publisher for the Territory other than the United States is less than $250. Overture may hold such payments due Publisher until the aggregate amount due Publisher for the Territory other than the United States exceeds $250 and will remit such amount upon the next scheduled payment. Overture may offset any of these amounts by any amount Publisher owes to Overture, including amounts for overpayments previously made by Overture. Except as specifically set forth in this Section 5.2, Overture will retain all revenues derived from or in connection with this Agreement.
