Starter Agreement: Content Owner receives 85% of net receipts.

Essential Agreement: Content Owner receives 90% of net receipts.

Pro Agreement: Content Owner receives 95% of net receipts.

Business Agreement: Content Owner receives 97.1% of net receipts.

The Content Owner selects the applicable revenue-sharing agreement at the outset of distribution. This selection remains independent of any additional services that may be made available through subscription plans. The revenue-sharing agreement represents a standalone contractual choice by the Content Owner and is not influenced by the purchase of subscription-based services or additional features provided by the Distributor.

Upon upgrading to a new subscription plan, the revised revenue-sharing percentage shall apply automatically to all existing and future releases distributed through the Releese platform. This adjustment reflects an amendment to the existing revenue-sharing agreement and is not considered a service or fee reduction. Consequently, the new revenue share is applied consistently across all catalogues, ensuring a transparent and standardized approach to earnings distribution.

This allocation constitutes a pre-agreed revenue share and does not represent a separate service fee or administrative charge. The Distributor will account and credit to the Content Owner’s account all such net receipts, less such distribution revenue share, and any other permitted deductions. The Net Profit payment shall be allocated according to the splits provided by the Content Owner. Payments will be submitted to the Content Owner's account and to the Payees' accounts within the Distributor’s network, on behalf of the Content Owner. The Content Owner acknowledges and accepts full responsibility for the accuracy of the splits and for ensuring all Payees meet their own tax reporting and compliance obligations. The Distributor shall distribute earnings to Payees provided by Content Owner according to the splits determined by Content Owner. The retained percentage is not a fee for services rendered to the Content Owner but represents the Distributor’s pre-agreed portion of jointly owned revenue.

The Content Owner shall provide a duly issued invoice to the Distributor for all withdrawals of earned revenues and distribution revenues. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed business income arising from a business-to-business relationship, and shall not be classified as employment income, passive income, or Canadian-source income

17. As to synchronization licenses approved by the Content Owner, the Distributor will pay the Content Owner 80% if the Content Owner has no active subscription, 85% if the Content Owner has a Starter subscription, 90% if the Content Owner has an Essential subscription, 95% if the Content Owner has a Pro subscription or 97.1% if the Content Owner has a Business subscription of all net receipts received (except VAT and other similar sales taxes) for such synchronization licenses.

18. All revenue generated from the distribution of Assets shall be considered business income of the Content Owner, with the Distributor's share being a contractually agreed revenue split.
