3.6 Inspection of Records. Licensor may, at Licensor’s expense, but not more than once annually, audit those books and records of Licensee that pertain to the calculation of Licensor’s Compensation.

Angel Bonus Program

 

1.

Overview.

 

 

1.1.

Licensee’s Angel Bonus Program is an effort to reward content owners that contribute content scored according to three factors: Goodness, Loyalty, and Word of Mouth.

 

 

 

1.1.1.

The “Goodness” factor is intended to benefit licensors who provide clean (not requiring filtering) or relatively clean (requiring little filtering) content as determined by a proprietary algorithm developed by Licensee. Whether and in what amount any Goodness contributes to the Angel Bonus shall be within the Licensee's sole discretion.

 

 

 

 

1.1.2.

The “Word of Mouth” factor is to reward content owners whose content contributes significantly to Licensee’s ability to attract new paying customers. Whether and in what amount any Word of Mouth contributes to the Angel Bonus shall be within Licensee’s sole discretion. A high Goodness score will have an amplifying effect on the Word of Mouth factor's contribution to the Angel Bonus.

 

 

 

 

1.1.3.

The “Loyalty” factor is to reward content owners whose content contributes significantly to Licensee's ability to retain new customers, existing customers and reactivate old customers. Whether and in what amount any Loyalty score contributes to the Angel Bonus shall be within Licensee's sole discretion. A high Goodness score will also have an amplifying effect on the Loyalty factor's contribution to the Angel Bonus.

 

 

 

 

1.2.

Each quarter, Licensee will allocate amounts to a general bonus pool (the “Angel Bonus Pool”) according to the terms of Licensee’s streaming contracts. Typically, the amounts range between ten percent (10%) and twenty percent (20%) of Net VOD Profits in the applicable calendar year quarter.

 

 

 

1.3.

Each quarter, the entire amount of the Angel Bonus Pool will be distributed to eligible contracts, proportionally, based on each eligible contract’s Angel Score.

 

 

 

1.4.

The periods of time corresponding to quarters are based on Licensee’s then current fiscal quarters.

 

 

 

2.

Angel Score

 

 

2.1.

Each contract’s Angel Score is determined by the Angel Score Formula, which is based on three parameters the value of each of which is determined according to Licensee’s proprietary algorithms: Attributed New Subscriber Value, Attributed Subscription Revenue, and Audience Diversity.

 

 

 

2.1.1.

Attributed New Subscriber Value” is a measure of the number of new subscribers whose first work watched is covered by this contract * $12.50 (which is approximately half of the expected cost to acquire a new subscriber). This measure represents the value content brings by driving new subscribers to the platform.

2.1.2.

Attributed Subscription Revenue” is a measure of the total amount of subscription revenue which can be directly attributed to views of works covered by this contract. For each payment received, this measure attributes 50% of the payment to works watched in the previous month, 25% to works watched in the month before that, 12.5% to works watched in the month before that, and so on until any remainder is attributed to the marketing cost of acquiring the user. This measure answers the question “What did they watch that made them stay?”

 

 

 

 

2.1.3.

Audience Diversity” is a measure of how appealing the works covered by this contract are to a diverse audience. The precise implementation of this measure is somewhat technical, but intuitively, this measure looks at the set of other works watched by viewers who watch this work and measures the diversity (entropy) of that set. This diversity score is based off of works watched without filters. This measure answers the question about "What is good content?"

 

 

 

 

2.2.

Angel Score Formula. The formula used to determine the Angel Score is: (Attributed New Subscriber Value + Attributed Subscription Revenue) * Audience Diversity. The first part of the Angel Score Formula (attributed new subscriber and subscription revenue) represents the financial impact of the contract, while the second part of the formula (audience diversity) measure alignment between the content and the larger Licensee’s audience, which Licensee believes directly affects the long-term success of the content and the platform.

 

 

 

2.3.

Final Allocation. Final allocations from the Angel Bonus Pool to individual contracts (i.e., an Angel Bonus) are determined by taking the Angel Score for an eligible contract, dividing it by the sum of all Angel Scores for all eligible contracts, and multiplying the result by the total amount available in the Angel Bonus Pool. This process distributes the total value of the Angel Bonus Pool to individual contracts proportionally, based on their Angel Score.

 

 

 

3.

Disbursement.

 

 

3.1.

The bonus revenue allocated to individual contracts under the Angel Bonus Program is viewed as equivalent to earned revenue, so no contract actually receives a disbursement check unless and until the total revenue earned exceeds the production costs of the contract.
