11.	TERMINATION.

11.1

-14-

PORTIONS DENOTED WITH [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.

Buyer if the Closing has not occurred on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on March 31, 2007, provided, however, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(d) may do so only if the failure to close shall not have resulted from the failure of such party to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement or from the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of such party. Termination of this Agreement by a party shall not preclude the terminating party from seeking all remedies otherwise available to it for breach of a representation, warranty, or covenant hereunder by the other party.

11.2

Effect of Termination. Each party’s right of termination under Section 11.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of such right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate and the Deposit will be refunded to Buyer, except that the obligations of the parties in this Section 11.2 and Sections 15 and 16 will survive, provided, however, that, if this Agreement is terminated because of a breach of this Agreement by the non-terminating party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the non-terminating party’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party’s right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

12.	ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.

12.1

Taxes and Expenses. The parties shall each bear their respective direct and indirect expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether consummated or not; provided, however, that all transfer, sales, use, excise, recording and similar Taxes, if any, arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, shall be borne one half by Seller and one half by Buyer, whether such Taxes are imposed on Seller or Buyer.

12.2

Retention of and Access to Records. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall retain for a period of six (6) years or such longer period required by applicable Law those records of Seller delivered to Buyer hereunder. Buyer also shall provide Seller and its Representatives reasonable access thereto, during normal business hours and on at least three days’ prior written notice, to enable them to prepare financial statements or tax returns or with respect to any tax audits.

12.3

Seller’s Employees. Buyer is not obligated to hire any employee of Seller but may interview any employee of Seller at any time following the Effective Date. Buyer will in good faith give Seller’s employees priority in consideration (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) in the event Buyer has positions available for employment on or about the Closing Date. Employment of Seller’s personnel by

-15-

PORTIONS DENOTED WITH [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.

Buyer, if any, shall be in the sole discretion of Buyer in the exercise of its business judgment and on terms and conditions solely determined by Buyer. This Section 12.3 should not be construed as making, and no provision of this Agreement shall make, Seller’s employees third party beneficiaries to this Agreement. Buyer is not assuming any of Seller’s employment Liabilities that have accrued.

12.4

Further Assurances. The parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other and with their respective Representatives in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement, and shall (a) furnish upon request to each other such further information; (b) execute and deliver to each other such other documents; and (c) do such other acts and things, in each case as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

12.5

Non Competition. In consideration for the purchase of the Assets, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Date, neither AOL nor any subsidiary directly owned by AOL (including Seller) shall, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the United States, create or acquire an online, interactive subscription based music service substantially similar to the service currently provided to Subscribers by Seller (a “Competitive Service”). AOL’s performance under the Advertising Agreement, video offerings and AOL’s current music offerings, including without limitation AOL’s Internet radio services but excluding specifically Seller’s business, shall not constitute a breach of this Section 12.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.5, (i) the acquisition by AOL and/or one or more of its subsidiaries of a business that provides a Competitive Service shall not be deemed to violate this Section 12.5 if the principal purpose of such acquisition is not to circumvent the provisions of this Section 12.5 and if the revenues of such Competitive Service constitute less than Forty Percent (40%) of the revenues of the business acquired and (ii) upon a change of control (as hereinafter defined) of AOL the provisions of this Section 12.5 shall be of no further force or effect. For purposes of this Section 12.5, “change of control” shall mean the sale or other disposition of more than Forty Percent (40%) of the voting power of the applicable entity in a transaction or series of related transactions or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of that entity, the principal purpose of which is not to circumvent the provisions of this Section 12.5. The parties agree that a breach or threatened breach of any covenant set forth in this Section 12.5 could cause irreparable harm to Buyer, that such other party’s remedies at Law upon any such breach would be inadequate, and that, accordingly, upon any such breach or threatened breach Buyer may seek a restraining order or injunction or both against the breaching party without the necessity of posting a bond, in addition to any other rights and remedies which are available to the other parties. The parties agree that the restrictions set forth in this Section are reasonable and appropriate and were determined in good faith through arm’s length negotiation by the parties but that if a court of competent

-16-

PORTIONS DENOTED WITH [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.

jurisdiction finds this Section more restrictive than permitted by applicable law of any jurisdiction in which Buyer seeks enforcement hereof, this Section will be limited to the extent required to permit enforcement under such laws. For purposes of clarity, this Section 12.5 shall not apply to AOL’s ultimate parent or such parent’s other subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Date, neither AOL nor its successor in interest shall knowingly solicit via out-bound marketing, directly or indirectly, any Customer for a Competitive Service; provided however, that general advertising of a Competitive Service shall not constitute solicitation.

13.

SURVIVAL.

All representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of [***] following the Closing Date (“Survival Period”), except that the representations and warranties contained or made in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1 and 5.2 will instead continue until [***] as the same may be waived or extended; provided that if a claim has been asserted prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, such claim will not be extinguished by the occurrence of the end of the applicable Survival Period and will survive until final resolution thereof. The covenants made in this Agreement shall survive indefinitely, other than those covenants to be performed between the Effective Date and Closing and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

14.	INDEMNIFICATION.

14.1

Indemnification by the Seller. AOL and the Seller each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and its directors, officers, agents, employees, representatives, attorneys, Affiliates and successors and assigns from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses) arising out of or resulting from (a) each breach of the representations and warranties made by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement; (b) each breach of the covenants or agreements made by the Seller and AOL pursuant to this Agreement, (c) the operation of, or any action or failure to act by the Seller with respect to, the Assets or the Music Now Service prior to the Closing Date and (d) any and all Retained Liabilities. Neither AOL nor the Seller will have liability (indemnification or otherwise) with respect to claims under this Section 14.1 until the total of all damages with respect to such matters exceeds [***] Dollars ($[***]) and then only for the amount by which such damages exceeds [***] Dollars ($[***]) in the aggregate. The total amount of damages AOL and the Seller will be obligated to pay under Section 14.1(a) shall not exceed the Cash Purchase Price. However, in the event of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller, each materiality qualifier contained in such representation or warranty shall be deemed excluded solely for purposes of calculating the extent of losses subject to indemnity under this Section 14.1.

14.2

Seller shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to claims under Section 14.2 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds [***] dollars ($[***]) and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed [***] dollars ($[***]). The total amount of damages the Seller will be obligated to pay under Section 14.2(a) shall not exceed the Cash Purchase Price.

14.3

Process. A party seeking indemnification under this Agreement shall give the party from whom indemnification is sought reasonably prompt notice of the relevant claim. With respect to any such claims that are third party claims, (a) the indemnifying party will have Fourteen (14) days after receipt of such notice to notify the indemnifying party whether or not it desires to defend the indemnified party (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party), (b) if the indemnifying party does not promptly commence and maintain the defense of such claims, the indemnified party will have the right to control any defense or settlement, at the expense of the indemnifying party, subject to the limitations hereunder, (c) if the indemnifying party does promptly commence and maintain the defense of such claims, the indemnifying party shall control the defense of such claim and the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the proceeding at its own expense, and (d) no claim will be settled or compromised without the prior written consent of each party to be affected by such settlement or compromise, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

14.4

Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provided in this section shall be the sole and exclusive remedy from and after the Closing for damages for any indemnity claim, except as provided in Section 16.13.

15.	CONFIDENTIALITY.

15.1

Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information or compilation of information that is proprietary to the parties and which relates to their existing or reasonably foreseeable business, including, but not limited to, trade secrets and information contained in or relating to product designs, processes, techniques, software, tooling, sales techniques, marketing plans or proposals existing or potential customer lists and all other customer information.

include information which (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of any breach of a confidentiality obligation, (b) is rightfully received from a third party and not derived directly or indirectly from any breach of a confidentiality obligation, or (c) is independently developed by the parties without any reference to any such Confidential Information. All information that either party hereto identifies as being “confidential” or a “trade secret” shall be presumed to be Confidential Information.

15.2

Duty to Maintain Confidentiality. Each party acknowledges that Confidential Information may be disclosed to the other party during the course of this Agreement. Each party agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and the Advertising Agreement and for a period of two years following expiration or termination of this Agreement, it will take reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to protect its own proprietary information, to (a) prevent use of the other party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than to carry out its rights and obligations hereunder, and (b) prevent the disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information, other than to its employees or Representatives who must have access to such Confidential Information for such party to exercise its rights and perform its obligations hereunder and who each agree to be bound by agreements with a duty of confidentiality no less protective of confidential information than provided herein.

15.3

Post-Closing. From and after the Closing, (a) this Article 15 shall not in any way limit Buyer with respect to the Assets or any Confidential Information included therein, and (b) for a period of two years, Seller shall keep strictly confidential all Confidential Information relating to or included in the Assets.

WHEREAS, Advertiser and AOL have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated __, 2006; and WHEREAS, Advertiser wishes to purchase certain Advertising placements from AOL and pay AOL for certain subscribers to advertiser’s online music subscription service; NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration Advertiser and AOL hereby agree to the following: Payment Schedule: Pursuant to this Insertion Order Advertiser shall pay AOL a total payment of [*] Dollars ($[]) (the “Purchase Price”), payable as follows: [] Dollars ($[]) payable to AOL within one (1) business day of the date of execution of this Insertion Order and [] Dollars ($[]) on June 1, 2007. All amounts not paid when due and payable will bear interest from the due date at the prime rate in effect at such time. All payments required hereunder shall be paid in immediately available, non-refundable U.S. funds wired to the “America Online” account, Account Number [**]. In the event of any questions regarding a payment made (or expected to be made) by Advertiser to AOL. AOL may contact ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, General Counsel at 310-281-5000, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. In the event of nonpayment, AOL reserves the right to immediately terminate this AOL Advertising Insertion Order Agreement (the “Insertion Order”) with written notice to Advertiser, provided that such termination shall not excuse AOL from providing impressions that have already been paid for by Advertiser.

	Advertising Purchase Summary (See Detailed Carriage Plan on Exhibit A)
	Total Price	Total Impressions
AOL Integrated Placements	$[***]	[***]
Additional Placements	$[***]	SEE EXHIBIT F

1. Site and Products. The HTTP/URL address to be connected to the Advertisement shall be: ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇ (the “Advertiser Site”). The products and/or services to be offered or promoted by Advertiser in the Advertisements are as follows: Paid music subscription services designed to provide consumers in the United States with unlimited, high fidelity, access to over 3,000,000 tracks. Subscribers receive unlimited access to CD-quality music on multiple computers and have access to over 50 interactive radio stations, extensive community features, message boards, historical Billboard chart information and enhanced programming. In addition, subscribers can transfer an unlimited amount of music from Napster to their choice of compatible MP3 players for the entire term of their subscription without having to purchase individual tracks and albums. In addition, all subscribers have access to community features, such as the ability to send song links to friends and subscribers can browse other subscribers’ published collections. In addition customers can purchase individual tracks or albums. These tracks can be “burned” to a CD or transferred to an MP3 player. Napster’s United States catalogue of available music covers all of the major music companies, including EMI Recorded Music, Sony BMG, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group, as well as numerous independent labels. (the “Advertiser Products”). The Carriage Plan for the agreed upon placements is attached hereto on Exhibit A. The Launch Date will be the first business day following the Notice Period as such term is defined under the Asset Purchase Agreement or such earlier date as the co-branded landing page described in Section 4 below is first commercially available to potential subscribers.

Impressions Commitment. Any guarantees are to impressions (as measured by AOL in accordance with its standard methodologies and protocols), not “click-throughs” or conversions. In the event there is (or will be in AOL’s reasonable judgment) a shortfall in impressions less than [***] percent ([***] %) of the Total Guaranteed Impressions as of the end of the display period as set forth in Exhibit A (a “Shortfall”), such Shortfall shall not be considered a breach of this Insertion Order by AOL; instead, AOL will provide Advertiser, as its sole remedy, with additional or comparable (in value) “makegood” impressions across the AOL Network up to [***] percent ([***] %) of the Total Guaranteed Impressions within three months of the end of the term. To the extent impressions commitments are identified without regard to specific placements, such placements will be as mutually agreed upon by AOL and Advertiser during the course of the display period. AOL reserves the right to alter Advertiser flight dates to accommodate trafficking needs or other operational needs. In such cases, AOL will make available to Advertiser reasonably equivalent flight(s). In the event that no makegood impressions are available, Advertiser shall be entitled to a pro rata refund of its fees for any underdelivery.

Integration Assistance. Advertiser agrees to work in good faith with AOL to evaluate opportunities to integrate AIM and other AOL products and services that the parties believe will improve the product experience for users of Advertiser’s service. The Parties agree to evaluate the screenname service within reason periodically after the execution date. If Advertiser decides to add third party instant messaging functionality into the Advertiser Products, then Advertiser will provide AOL with the first opportunity to include AIM in the Advertiser Product. From time to time, AOL may elect in its reasonable discretion to provide additional placements for Advertiser in prominent locations across the AOL Network. In addition, the parties will discuss additional co-marketing opportunities throughout the term of the Agreement that would mutually benefit both Parties.

Advertiser Artwork and URL. In the event that all necessary artwork and active URL’s are not provided to AOL in the manner specified at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇ at least three (3) business days prior to the display start date (as set forth in Exhibit A), all Impressions to the relevant advertising inventory from and after the display start date shall count toward the Total Impressions and Advertiser shall remain liable for all payments hereunder notwithstanding AOL’s inability to display the Advertisement. Advertiser agrees to design a co-branded landing page similar to Advertiser’s standard, generally available landing page. Advertiser agrees to use such page unless Advertiser can demonstrate that such co-branded page is having a negative impact on the rate at which users are registering for a free trial of the Advertiser’s Product. The parties shall enter into a Trademark License Agreement in the form attached to the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Subscriber Bounty. Advertiser shall pay AOL, on a monthly basis (following the close of the month in which a trial subscription occurs), a fee of [***] Dollars ($[***]) (the “Subscription Bounty”) per every individual trial subscription (including any free trial subscriptions) over [***] ([***]) (the “Subscription Bounty Threshold”) received by Advertiser from AOL for Advertiser’s online music subscription service during the Initial Term. The same Subscription Bounty Threshold would apply in the Renewal Term. For purposes of clarification, a subscription would be satisfied when a user signs up for a free trial. Bounties acquired through the AOL Performance Network will count toward the Subscription Bounty Threshold as well as the renewal threshold of [***] per Section 7 below.

PORTIONS DENOTED WITH [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.

Latency Conversion. Advertiser will also pay to AOL a Bounty for all Latency Conversions. A “Latency Conversion” shall mean the serving of a tracking mechanism to an AOL User during a visit to the Advertiser Landing Page not initiated by clicking through an AOL Integrated Placement or Additional Placement (each a “Promotion”), where such visit occurred within a certain number of days (the “Latency Window”) after such AOL User was exposed to a Promotion. Advertiser shall pay AOL a Bounty for One Hundred percent (100%) of the number of New Subscribers arising from Latency Conversions that occur within (i) seven (7) days of initial clicking through an AOL Integrated Placement or (ii) thirty (30) days of initial clicking through an Additional Placement. Subject to AOL’s review and approval, the Parties shall agree on a tracking mechanism sufficient to track the AOL Users who enter the Advertiser Landing Page to determine which have become New Subscribers. In the event that such tracking involves the use of cookies, Advertiser agrees to comply with the following requirements. Advertiser will serve cookies on a non-personally identifiable basis on the Advertiser Landing Page (but not on the AOL Network, such as in any Promotion) to all visitors to the Advertiser Landing Page for the purpose of compliance with this Agreement; provided that Advertiser and the Advertiser Landing Page shall at all times (i) comply with all applicable privacy and use of data laws, rules and regulations, and any applicable privacy policies, (ii) use the data collected via the cookie to perform its obligations herein, for assigning customer-IDs in support of the Advertiser normal website operation, and for no other reason, (iii) not disclose such data to any third party, and (iv) prominently post a privacy policy on the Advertiser Site providing adequate notice to visitors that such a cookie may be served and how such data may be used.

The Renewal Term, as applicable, shall be upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Insertion Order. Territory is the United States of America.

8.	Exclusivity. Excluding Apple’s iTunes , throughout the Term, Advertiser will be the exclusive integrated Advertiser providing an online music subscription service within the AOL Music Channel located at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇ (e.g. this does not include non-integrated banner advertisements).

AOL Reporting. AOL will track impressions in accordance with its standard methodologies. Notwithstanding any other provision on reporting in this Insertion Order, AOL shall deliver to Advertiser a report on a monthly basis showing the number of Impressions (by Placement) delivered and the number of click-throughs achieved on a daily or weekly basis (within thirty (30) days following the end of the month showing for such month the number of impressions by Placement) based on AOL’s standard methodologies. .

10.

Advertiser shall receive a copy of such accounting firm’s report concurrently with AOL. AOL will bear the expense of any audit conducted pursuant to this Section 9 unless such audit shows an error in AOL’s favor amounting to a deficiency to AOL in excess of [***] percent ([***]%) of the actual amounts paid and/or payable to AOL hereunder, in which event Advertiser will bear the reasonable expenses of the audit.

13.

AOL Right to Redesign. AOL will be solely responsible for the design, organization, structure, specifications, look and feel, navigation and maintenance of the AOL Network. AOL reserves the right, at anytime, to redesign or modify the organization, structure, specifications, “look and feel,” navigation, guidelines and other elements of the AOL Network. In the event such modifications materially and adversely affect any specific Placement, or if AOL is unable to deliver any particular Placement for any other reason, AOL will provide Partner promotional placements comparable in value to that of the placement in the screenshots in Exhibit E, and will work with Partner to determine such comparable placements. In the event that no promotional placements of comparable value are available, Advertiser shall be entitled to a pro rata refund of its fees for any underdelivery.

14.

Change of Control. AOL, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement within 30 days after Advertiser delivers notice of a change of control of Advertiser involving any of the following AOL competitors: [***] (or any of their affiliates and/or subsidiaries). In the event that AOL exercises this termination right, AOL will be entitled to retain a pro rata portion of the fees for the placements for three (3) months following AOL’s delivery of a termination notice, provided, however, that AOL will maintain the promotional links and placements until the earlier of (i) the end of the 90 day period following AOL’s delivery of the termination notice or (ii) the date on which such change of control transaction closes. Further, if Napster is acquired by an entity not specifically named above, AOL will have the right to terminate this agreement at the end of the Initial Term regardless of whether the Term would otherwise automatically renew. Lastly, if AOL is subject to a change of control, either party will have the right to terminate this agreement at the end of the Initial Term regardless of whether the Term would otherwise automatically renew.

15.

Quality of Service/Best of Breed. Advertiser will continue to operate its online music distribution service in the ordinary course and consistent with Advertisers’ past practices. Advertiser will not materially degrade the quality of such service, provided that the removal of any tier of service, the combination of multiple existing tiers or the removal or addition of one or more particular features or functions will not constitute a degradation of service unless the overall service is materially degraded. In the event that this is not the case after the applicable period, AOL and Advertiser will meet and discuss remedies. If after 30 days from such meeting the issues have not been addressed to AOL’s satisfaction in AOL’s sole discretion, then AOL will have a right to terminate the Agreement. In the event of any such termination AOL will refund to Advertiser the pro-rata portion of payments attributable to the impressions not delivered.

16.	Miscellaneous. By entering into this agreement, the parties are not in any manner precluded from entering into any separate advertising agreements not related to this Insertion Order.

17.

PORTIONS DENOTED WITH [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.

EXHIBIT B

Additional Operational Terms

1. Advertiser Site Infrastructure. Advertiser will be responsible for all communications, hosting and connectivity costs and expenses associated with the Advertiser Site. Advertiser will provide all hardware, software, telecommunications lines and other infrastructure necessary to meet traffic demands on the Advertiser Site from the AOL Network. Advertiser will design and implement the infrastructure and network between the AOL Service and Advertiser Site such that (i) no single component failure will have a materially adverse impact on AOL Members seeking to reach the Advertiser Site from the AOL Network and (ii) sufficient bandwidth is maintained to handle sustained load and regular spikes in traffic. In the event that Advertiser elects to create a custom version of the Advertiser Site in order to comply with the terms of this Insertion Order, Advertiser will bear responsibility for all aspects of the implementation, management and cost of such customized site.

2. Optimization; Speed. Advertiser will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Advertiser Site is designed and populated in a manner that minimizes delays when AOL Members attempt to access such site. Prior to commercial launch of any material promotions described herein, Advertiser will permit AOL to conduct performance testing of the Advertiser Site (in person or through remote communications).

3. Security. Advertiser will utilize [***] to provide a secure environment for conducting transactions and/or transferring private member information (e.g. credit card numbers, banking/financial information, and member address information) to and from the Advertiser Site.

4. Technical Performance.

i. Advertiser will design the Advertiser Site to support the AOL-client embedded versions of the Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5X and 6.XX browsers [***].

ii. To the extent Advertiser creates customized pages on the Advertiser Site for AOL Members, Advertiser will develop and employ a methodology to detect AOL Members ([***]).”

iii. Advertiser will periodically review the technical information made available by AOL at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

iv. Advertiser acknowledges that AOL employs host and client-side caching technologies to improve end-user performance. Advertiser further acknowledges that these technologies are controlled through the use of industry-standard HTTP version 1.0 and version 1.1 headers transmitted by the origin server which is under Advertiser’s control. Complete information about these protocols can be found in RFC 1945 and ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, and details about AOL’s implementation of those protocols can be found at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

v. Prior to releasing material, new functionality or features through the Advertiser Site (“New Functionality”), Advertiser will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) test the New Functionality to confirm its compatibility with AOL Service client software and (ii) provide AOL with written notice of the New Functionality so that AOL can perform tests of the New Functionality to confirm its compatibility with the AOL Service client software. Should any new material, new functionality or features through the Advertiser Site be released without notification to AOL, AOL will not be responsible for any adverse member experience until such time that compatibility tests can be performed and the new material, functionality or features qualified for the AOL Service.

5. AOL Internet Services Advertiser Support. AOL will provide Advertiser with access to the standard online resources, standards and guidelines documentation, technical phone support, monitoring and after-hours assistance that AOL makes generally available to similarly situated web-based partners. AOL support will not, in any case, be involved with content creation on behalf of Advertiser or support for any technologies, databases, software or other applications which are not supported by AOL or are related to any Advertiser area other than the Advertiser Site. Support to be provided by AOL is contingent on Advertiser providing to AOL demo account information (where applicable), a detailed description of the Advertiser Site’s software, hardware and network architecture and access to the Advertiser Site for purposes of such performance testing as AOL elects to conduct.

PORTIONS DENOTED WITH [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.

EXHIBIT C

Standard Terms and Conditions

[Note: Many deletions are due to inconsistency with

terms of insertion order]

1. Display of Advertising Material. Advertiser may not resell, trade, exchange, barter or broker to any third party any advertising space which is the subject of this Insertion Order.

2. License. Advertiser agrees that AOL has the right to market, display, reproduce (including compression and temporary storage as necessary for the standard operation of the AOL Network), distribute, perform, transmit and promote the Advertisements.

3. Advertiser Content. The Advertisements shall link only to the URL specified in the Insertion Order. Neither the Advertisements nor any materials or content on any interactive site linked to the Advertisements shall disparage AOL or promote any AOL Competitors listed in Section 14 of this Agreement other than through the purchase by such AOL Competitors of banner advertisements on the Advertised Products in the ordinary course of Advertiser’s business. The Advertisements shall comply with AOL’s privacy policies, terms of service, generally applicable advertising standards and practices, and all other standard, written policies for the applicable Designated Service(s), as such may be modified by AOL from time to time. Advertiser hereby represents and warrants that (a) it possesses all authorizations, approvals, consents, licenses, permits, certificates or other rights and permissions necessary to offer, sell or license the products and services offered, sold or licensed by or through the Advertisements, and (b) the Advertisements will not violate any applicable law, regulation or third-party right (including, without limitation, any copyright, trademark, patent or other proprietary right). Advertiser also warrants that a reasonable basis exists for all product or service performance or comparison claims appearing through the Advertisements. In no event shall the Advertisements state or imply that AOL endorses Advertiser’s products or services. To the extent AOL notifies Advertiser of reasonable complaints or concerns (e.g. from a user of the AOL Network (an “AOL User”)) regarding the Advertiser Content or any other content or materials linked thereto or associated therewith (“Objectionable Content”), Advertiser shall, to the extent such Objectionable Content is within Advertiser’s control, use commercially reasonable efforts to respond in good faith to such complaints or concerns, provided there is no obligation to remove any such Objectionable Content. Advertiser shall take

all steps necessary to ensure that any contest, sweepstakes or similar promotion conducted or promoted through the Advertisements complies with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

4. Operations. Advertiser shall ensure that the Advertisements and the Advertiser Content are in compliance with AOL’s then-current, generally applicable technical standards for the Designated Service(s). In the event that the Advertisements fails to comply with AOL’s generally applicable technical standards for the Designated Service, AOL shall have the right to cease or decrease the placement of the Advertisements, and if Advertiser is unable to cure such non-compliance within five business days after notice from AOL, AOL shall have the right to terminate this Insertion Order and refund to Advertiser fees paid to date on a prorata basis for any impressions that were not delivered. Additionally, AOL will be entitled to discontinue the Advertisements to the extent such Advertisements or the Advertiser Content will, in AOL’s good faith judgment, adversely affect the operations of the AOL Network.

5. Third-Party Ad Serving. In the event that Advertiser elects to serve the Advertisements through a third-party ad serving system, such election shall be subject to the following requirements: (a) Advertiser shall elect solely from among the third parties which then appear on AOL’s approved third-party ad server list, (b) Advertiser shall comply with all reasonable requirements set by AOL for the use of a third-party ad serving system, (c) Advertiser shall ensure that its chosen third-party ad server complies with all reasonable requirements set by AOL for the serving of Advertisements into the AOL Network, provided that failure of the third-party to comply with AOL’s reasonable requirements shall not be deemed a breach of this Insertion Order by Advertiser so long as Advertiser ceases to use such third-party to serve the Advertisements immediately upon notice from AOL that such third-party is not in compliance with AOL’s reasonable requirements, and (d) any traffic or impression reports provided to Advertiser by such third-party shall have no effect on AOL’s obligations under this Insertion Order (i.e., the impression reports provided to Advertiser by AOL shall be the controlling reports for purposes of this Insertion Order).

6. Production Work. Unless expressly provided for elsewhere in this Insertion Order, AOL shall have no obligation to provide any creative, design, technical or production services to Advertiser (“Services”). Delivery by AOL of any Services shall be subject to (i) AOL’s availability to perform the requested work, (ii) execution by both parties of a separate work order specifically outlining the Services to be provided and the fees to

PORTIONS DENOTED WITH [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.

be paid by Advertiser for such Services and (iii) payment in advance by Advertiser of such fees.

7. Customer Service; Taxes. Advertiser shall bear full responsibility for all customer service, including without limitation, order processing, billing, fulfillment, shipment, collection, returns and chargebacks, and other customer support associated with any products or services offered, sold or licensed through the Advertisements, and AOL will have no obligations whatsoever with respect thereto. Advertiser will collect and pay and indemnify and hold AOL harmless from, any sales, use, excise, import or export, value added or similar tax or duty arising from or related to the Advertisements, including any penalties and interest, as well as any costs associated with the collection or withholding thereof, including attorneys fees. The foregoing provisions of this section shall survive the completion, expiration, termination or cancellation of this Insertion Order. In the event that this Insertion Order identifies any of AOL’s “Shop@” areas (or similar or successor shopping areas) as a location where an Advertisement will be displayed, Advertiser shall comply with AOL’s then-current merchant certification standards.

8. Search Terms; Keywords; Navigation. To the extent Advertiser is purchasing one or more Advertisements related to a “search” term(s), Advertiser represents and warrants that Advertiser has the legal rights necessary to utilize such search term in connection with the Advertisement(s). To the extent Advertiser is purchasing a search term for a flat fee (rather than purchasing a quantity of impressions based on a CPM-based price), such flat fee entitles Advertiser to up to one thousand (1,000) impressions per month. If the relevant search term generates more than 1,000 impressions in any month, AOL may sell the impressions in excess of 1,000 to another advertiser, or may provide Advertiser the opportunity to purchase some or all of the additional impressions for an additional fee. Any “keyword” terms for navigation from within the proprietary America Online brand service or “go word” terms for navigation from within the proprietary CompuServe brand service (“AOL Keyword Terms”) (as contrasted to “search” terms) which may be made available to Advertiser shall be (i) subject to availability and (ii) limited to the combination of the “keyword” or “go word” modifier combined with a registered trademark of Advertiser. Advertiser shall promote any AOL Keyword Term provided to it at least as prominently as it promotes any other internet keyword, “real name” or other similar search term or address for the Advertiser Content other than the URL for the Advertiser Content. AOL reserves the right to revoke at any time Advertiser’s use of any AOL Keyword Terms which do not incorporate registered trademarks of Advertiser. Advertiser

acknowledges that its utilization of any AOL Keyword Term will not create in it, nor will it represent it has, any right, title or interest in or to such AOL Keyword Term, other than the right, title and interest Advertiser holds in Advertiser’s registered trademark independent of the AOL Keyword Term. [Advertiser shall ensure that navigation back to the AOL Network from any Advertiser site, whether through a particular pointer or link, the “back” button on an Internet browser, the closing of an active window, or any other return mechanism, shall not be interrupted by Advertiser through the use of any intermediate screen or other device not specifically requested by the user, including without limitation through the use of any html pop-up window or any other similar device. LBG?]

9. Payment; Suspension. Advertiser agrees to pay AOL for all advertising displayed in accordance with the agreed upon amounts and billing schedule shown on the Insertion Order.

10. Limitation of Liability; Disclaimer; Indemnification. (A) SUBJECT TO SECTION 6 ABOVE AND SUBSECTION 9(D) BELOW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), ARISING FROM ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP PROVIDED FOR HEREIN. NEITHER PARTY SHALL IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS INSERTION ORDER FOR MORE THAN THE AMOUNT TO BE PAID BY ADVERTISER DURING THE YEAR IN WHICH THE LIABILITY ACCRUES. (B) AOL MAKES NO AND HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE AOL NETWORK OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IMPLIED WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, AOL SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY REGARDING (I) THE NUMBER OF PERSONS WHO WILL ACCESS THE ADVERTISER CONTENT OR “CLICK-THROUGH” THE ADVERTISEMENTS, (II) ANY BENEFIT ADVERTISER MIGHT OBTAIN FROM INCLUDING THE ADVERTISEMENTS WITHIN THE AOL NETWORK AND (III) THE FUNCTIONALITY, PERFORMANCE OR OPERATION OF THE AOL NETWORK WITH RESPECT TO THE ADVERTISEMENTS. (C) ADVERTISER MAKES NO AND HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR

PORTIONS DENOTED WITH [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.

IMPLIED, REGARDING ITS GOODS OR SERVICES OR ADVERTISEMENTS OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IMPLIED WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. (D) Advertiser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless AOL and the officers, directors, agents, affiliates, distributors, franchises and employees of AOL from and against all claims, actions, liabilities, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may at any time be incurred by any of them by reason of any claims, suits or proceedings: (a) for libel, defamation, violation of right of privacy or publicity, copyright infringement, trademark infringement or other infringement of any third-party right, fraud, false advertising, misrepresentation, product liability or violation of any law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation throughout the world in connection with the Advertisements; or (b) arising out of any material breach by Advertiser of any duty, representation or warranty under this Insertion Order. AOL hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Advertiser and the officers, directors, agents, affiliates, distributors, franchises and employees of Advertiser from and against all claims, actions, liabilities, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may at any time be incurred by any of them by reason of any claims, suits or proceedings: (a) for libel, defamation, violation of right of privacy or publicity, copyright infringement, trademark infringement or other infringement of any third-party right, fraud, false advertising, misrepresentation, product liability or violation of any law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation throughout the world in connection with the AOL Network; or (b) arising out of any material breach by AOL of any duty, representation or warranty under this Insertion Order. The indemnified party shall notify the indemnifier of any claim, action or demand (an “Action”) for which indemnity is claimed. Indemnifier’s counsel defending such Action shall be subject to the indemnified party’s prior written approval. The indemnified party reserves the right to participate in the defense of any Action at its own expense. Settlement of any Action shall be subject to the indemnified party’s prior written approval. This section shall survive the completion, expiration, termination or cancellation of this Insertion Order.

11. Solicitation. (a) Advertiser shall not send unsolicited, commercial email or other online communication (i.e., “spam”) through or into the AOL Network, absent a prior business relationship with the recipient, and shall comply with any other standard AOL policies and limitations relating to distribution of

bulk email solicitations or communications through or into AOL’s products or services (including, without limitation, the requirement that Advertiser provide a prominent and easy means for the recipient to “opt-out” of receiving any future commercial email communications from Advertiser). (b) Advertiser shall ensure that its collection, use and disclosure of information obtained from AOL Users under this Insertion Order (“User Information”) complies with (i) all applicable laws and regulations and (ii) the then-current privacy policy(ies) of the applicable Designated Service(s) (or, in the case of information collected on Advertiser’s site, Advertiser’s standard privacy policies so long as such policies are prominently published on the site and provide adequate notice, disclosure and choice to users regarding Advertiser’s collection, use and disclosure of user information). Advertiser shall limit use of the User Information collected through an Information Request to the Specified Purpose. In the case of AOL Users who purchase products or services from Advertiser, Advertiser will be entitled to incorporate such AOL Users into Advertiser’s aggregate lists of customers; provided that Advertiser shall in no way disclose User Information in a manner that identifies AOL Users as end-users of an AOL product or service, provided that inclusion of AOL User email or IM addresses as part of an aggregate list shall not be deemed a breach of this provision. This section shall survive the completion, expiration, termination or cancellation of this Insertion Order.

12. Representations and Warranties. Each party to this Insertion Order represents and warrants to the other party that: (i) such party has the full corporate right, power and authority to enter into this Insertion Order and to perform the acts required of it hereunder; and (ii) when executed and delivered by such party, this Insertion Order will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.

13. Termination. Either party may terminate this Insertion Order at any time with written notice to the other party in the event of a material breach of this Insertion Order by the other party, which remains uncured after thirty (30) days written notice thereof; provided that the cure period in connection with Advertiser’s failure to make any payment to AOL required in the Insertion Order shall be ten (10) days rather than thirty days. AOL may terminate this Insertion Order immediately following written notice to Advertiser if Advertiser (1) ceases to do business in the normal course, (2) becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt, (3) is the subject of any proceeding related to its liquidation or insolvency (whether voluntary or involuntary) which is not dismissed within ninety (90) calendar days or (4) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors. In

PORTIONS DENOTED WITH [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.

the event of any termination AOL will refund to Advertiser the pro-rata portion of payments attributable to the impressions not delivered.

14. Confidentiality. AOL and Advertiser each agrees that it will take reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to protect its own proprietary information, during the term of this Insertion Order, and for a period of three years following expiration or termination of this Insertion Order, to prevent the duplication or disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party other than by or to its employees or agents who must have access to such Confidential Information to perform such party’s obligations hereunder, which employees or agents are subject to strict confidentiality obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose Confidential Information without the consent of the other party, to the extent such disclosure is required by law, rule, regulation or government or court order. In such event, the disclosing party shall provide at least five (5) business days prior written notice of such proposed disclosure to the other party and shall submit a request to the applicable governing body that this Insertion Order (or portions thereof) receive confidential treatment to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws, rules and regulations. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information relating to or disclosed in the course of this Insertion Order, which is or should be reasonably understood to be confidential or proprietary to the disclosing party, including, but not limited to, the material terms of this Insertion Order and information about AOL Users. “Confidential Information” shall not include information (a) already lawfully known to or independently developed by the receiving party, (b) disclosed in published materials, (c) generally known to the public, or (d) lawfully obtained from any third-party. Upon the expiration or termination of this Insertion Order, each party will, upon the written request of the other party, return or destroy (at the option of the party receiving the request) all Confidential Information specified by the other party. This section shall survive the completion, expiration, termination or cancellation of this Insertion Order for the three year period specified herein.

15. Miscellaneous. The parties to this Insertion Order are independent contractors. Neither party is an agent, representative or partner of the other party. Neither party shall have any right, power or authority to enter into any agreement for or on behalf of, or incur any obligation or liability of, or to otherwise bind, the other party. The failure of either party to insist upon or enforce strict performance by the other party of any provision of this Insertion Order or to exercise any right under this Insertion Order shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such party’s right to assert or

rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. Except where otherwise specified herein, the rights and remedies granted to a party under this Insertion Order are cumulative and in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies which the party may possess at law or in equity. Neither party will be liable for, or be considered in breach of or default under this Insertion Order on account of any delay or failure to perform as required by this Insertion Order as a result of any causes or conditions which are beyond such party’s reasonable control and which such party is unable to overcome by the exercise of reasonable diligence. Advertiser shall not use, display or modify AOL’s trademarks in any manner absent AOL’s express prior written approval. This Insertion Order sets forth the entire agreement between Advertiser and AOL, and supersedes any and all prior agreements of AOL or Advertiser with respect to the transactions set forth herein. No change, amendment or modification of any provision of this Insertion Order shall be valid unless set forth in a written instrument signed by the party subject to enforcement of such amendment. Neither party shall assign this Insertion Order or any right, interest or benefit under this Insertion Order without the prior written consent of the other party except in connection with a change of control of such assignor. Subject to the foregoing, this Insertion Order shall be fully binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

AOL PERFORMANCE NETWORK PROMOTIONS

Site and Products. The HTTP/URL address to be connected to the promotions provided in connection with this Insertion Order (“Performance Promotions”) shall be a version of the site located at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ and any related web pages or pages linked thereto (e.g., splash pages or ordering/registration pages), customized if and to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable requirements herein (the “Advertiser Site”). The only products and/or services that may be offered or promoted by Advertiser in the Performance Promotions or on the Advertiser Site are the Advertiser Products. The Advertiser Site shall not promote the products or services of any third party (or any products or services other than the Advertiser Products) without AOL’s written consent (including indirectly via any pop-up, pop-under, etc.). For the purposes of this Agreement Performance Promotions shall be considered Advertisements.

Optimization Technology. AOL may, through its affiliate, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, or designated third party vendor, serve the Performance Promotions, and track related click-through and conversion metrics (where applicable), utilizing certain inventory optimization technology (the “Optimization Technology”). Prior to launch of any Performance Promotions, Advertiser will take all actions necessary to enable AOL, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, or AOL’s designated third party vendor, to track click-throughs, including delivering unique Advertiser Site URLs as requested by AOL.

Tracking Tags. During the Term, Advertiser agrees to place on mutually agreed upon page(s) of the Advertiser Site a pixel tracking tag as necessary for tracking and reporting through the Optimization Technology (the “Tracking Tag”). Unless otherwise approved by AOL, the page(s) containing the Tracking Tag shall be accessible to any visitor to the Advertiser Site (regardless of whether such visitor linked to the Advertiser Site from the AOL Network). Advertiser agrees to disclose within its standard privacy policy (in a clear and conspicuous manner) the data use and collection practices related to the Tracking Tag on the Advertiser Site.

Web Beacon Placement. Advertiser agrees that Advertiser shall be solely responsible for insuring proper placement of the Web Beacons on Advertiser’s web site, including making sure that the Web Beacons only track the Actions to which Advertiser’s campaign relates. In the event that Advertiser improperly places the Web Beacons on Advertiser’s web site, resulting in, among other things, AOL or it’s affiliate, ▇▇.▇▇▇ trafficking Advertiser’s campaign based on misleading campaign performance results, the parties agree that Advertiser shall pay AOL based on AOL’s reasonable estimation of Actions delivered, as determined in AOL’s sole discretion. Advertiser further understands that maintaining Advertiser’s web site on which the Web Beacons are placed in good working order during the term of the Agreement is critical to the success of Advertiser’s campaign. Accordingly, in the event that Advertiser’s web site on which the Web Beacons are placed fails to operate in good working order (i.e., goes down) at any time during the term of the Agreement, Advertiser shall notify AOL that Advertiser’s web site has gone down within three (3) hours of Advertiser’s web site going down. If Advertiser fails to provide AOL with notification as required above, the parties agree that AOL may ▇▇▇▇ Advertiser based on AOL’s reasonable estimation of Actions, as determined in AOL’s sole discretion, that would have been delivered during the period that Advertiser’s web site was not functioning.

Conversion Criteria. In addition, in the event that Advertiser is paying AOL a Bounty for any conversion metrics other than click-throughs, then the following shall apply: A “Conversion” shall equal all View-Based Conversions subject to the Conversion Criteria, and all Click-Based Conversions subject to the Conversion Criteria.

•

A “View-Based Conversion” shall mean the serving of a Tracking Tag to an AOL User during a visit to the Advertiser Site not initiated by clicking through an Advertisement, where such visit occurred within a certain number of days (the “View-Based Latency Window”) after such AOL User was exposed to an Advertisement.

•

A “Click-Based Conversion” shall mean the serving of a Tracking Tag to an AOL User during a visit to the Advertiser Site, where such visit occurred within a certain number of days (the “Click-Based Latency Window”) after such AOL User had clicked on an Advertisement (but had not triggered an Instant Conversion). Advertiser shall pay AOL a Bounty for One Hundred percent (100%) of the number of Leads arising from Click-based Conversions that occur with thirty (30) days of initial

Bounty. Advertiser shall pay to AOL a $[***] CPA bounty (“Bounty”) for Advertisements in the AOL Performance Network up to a maximum aggregate of [***] dollars ($[***]) (“Performance Cap”). CPA shall mean when a user clicks through the Performance Promotions served by AOL and downloads the Napster software for a free trial. Bounties acquired through the AOL Performance Network will count toward both the [***] threshold in Section 5 of the Agreement and the [***] threshold in Section 7 of the Agreement.

Guarantee. The spend commitment of [***] Dollars ($[***]) hereunder is a guaranteed, non-refundable amount. In the event that the Performance Promotions are terminated by either party or either Party reasonably believes that the Performance Cap will not be met during the Initial Term of the Agreement, then the balance of the Performance Cap that is not used will be reapplied toward the following AOL Network Advertisements and shall not be refunded:

High Reach Social Network AOL 728x90 (RM) —$[***] CPM or
