Primetime

Sony will license Primetime for implementation on:

  • All New Crackle CTV Apps by the appropriate Phase Date mentioned above.



  • Other Crackle apps to launch on a date defined by Sony, but at least on Desktop, iOS and Android.

Primetime includes:

  • TVSDK

  • Hosted Adobe DRM configuration (where it is available, and studio approved).

  • Ad Insertion Configuration




Audience Manager

Sony will license Audience Manager across the entire Crackle service, including, for the avoidance of doubt, for all New Crackle CTV Apps and for all other Crackle apps.

Implementation timeline:



Adobe to perform the following services:

  • Project management

  • Site Catalyst Data Ingestion

  • CRM/Reg Data Connection

  • Inclusion of AAM for Device ID capture & variable data capture via Site Catalyst if applicable

  • 2nd Party (publisher advertiser) data connections

  • 3rd Party Data Provider Overlap, Discovery, Connectivity

  • Freewheel & DSP Integrations

  • Standardized audience taxonomy to categorize user demographics, behaviors, shows

  • Nielsen Integration

Adobe will partner with Nielsen to enable Nielsen ratings within the Adobe Marketing Cloud (the “Nielsen Partnership”), including:

  • A new Nielsen Site (Content) ratings product built on Adobe Analytics measurement data

  • Nielsen Digital Program Ratings, and ability to target based on ratings

  • Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings, and ability to target based on OCR ratings

  • Nielsen audience demographic data (Nielsen panel, DPR, OCR data sources) at the most granular level possible, and content metadata identified via watermark

By October 15, 2014 (the “Confirmation Date”), Adobe will confirm that Nielsen has agreed to move forward with the Nielsen Partnership and that the Nielsen Partnership will be implemented by a mutually agreed upon date, currently approximated to be April 1, 2015 (the “Implementation Date”). The exact features to be developed by Adobe will be mutually agreed upon by Sony and Adobe.

In the event that Adobe does not or cannot confirm that Nielsen and Adobe have executed a written agreement reflecting the Nielsen Partnership by the Confirmation Date, Sony may immediately terminate the Agreement at any time, and Adobe shall provide Sony with a pro-rated refund of all fees pre-paid by Sony measured from the effective date of the termination. After the Confirmation Date, if (i) Adobe continues to be unable to confirm that Nielsen and Adobe have executed a written agreement reflecting the Nielsen Partnership, and (ii) Sony terminates the Agreement in the period of time after the Confirmation Date and prior to the Implementation Date, then Adobe shall additionally pay Sony a time and materials fee of $25,000 per month, measured from the effective date of termination.

In the event that Adobe fails to implement the Nielsen Partnership as part of the marketing cloud described within the agreed upon scope by the Implementation Date, then Adobe will pay to Crackle liquidated damages of $100,000 per month for each month that such Nielsen Partnership is not implemented. Adobe acknowledges and agrees that the actual damages likely to result from Adobe’s failure to implement the Nielsen Integration are difficult to estimate on the date of this agreement and would be difficult for Sony to prove. The parties intend that Adobe’s payment of the liquidated damages would serve to compensate Sony for Adobe’s failure to implement the Nielsen Partnership, and not as punishment for any such failure by Adobe.

Adobe will assign to Sony a named Technical Account Manager for the Term and limited to 500 hours to consult and troubleshoot usage of Audience Manager across the Crackle applications.

  • Outside of the scope of the aforementioned implementation, professional services are to be billed depending on the scope of engagement. There may be Professional Services fees in addition to implementation fees depending on the amount of custom development or launch support required.
