And Publisher has the requisite skills, knowledge and experience necessary to independently conduct such marketing activities. D. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Advertiser and Publisher, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 1. Coordination. If there is any conflict between this Addendum and the AA or an IO executed before the Addendum Effective Date, this Addendum shall control.

Section 8 of the AA shall be modified to permit Publisher to use SMS (collectively, “Messaging”) for a Campaign, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. a. Publisher may conduct Messaging Campaign by contacting only consumers (“Consenting Users”) who have provided Publisher with “prior express written consent” (TCPA Consent”) as that term is defined in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 USC § 227) and its implementing regulations, 47 CFR § 64.1200, as amended from time-to-time (“TCPA”) to be contacted via Messaging by or on behalf of the entity designated by Advertiser (“Named Advertiser Advertiser”).

Publisher shall maintain the TCPA Records at its expense for at least seven (7) years and shall provide such TCPA Records to Advertiser within five (5) business days of its written request therefor. d.

Publisher shall be solely responsible for the acts and omissions of its Approved Providers. e. Publisher shall ensure that all Messages sent in connection with a Messaging Campaign comply with all Applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations, Applicable Messaging Rules and the other terms, conditions and restrictions contained in the Master Marketing Agreement.

No copy, images, links, buttons or text other than the Message Content that was pre-approved by Advertiser, in writing (including any links provided by Advertiser), may be used by Publisher in connection with its Messaging activities. Publisher will not make any changes to the Message Content without Advertiser’s prior written approval in each instance. f. Attached as Exhibit A are Advertiser’s business rules (“Business Rules”) for contacting Consenting Users. Publisher shall, and shall ensure that each Approved Provider shall, comply with the Business Rules. Advertiser reserves the rights to update the Business Rules from time-to-time, and such updates will become effective no more than ten (10) business days after they are provided to Publisher.

Publisher may not agree to any stipulation, admission, or acknowledgement of any fault, guilt, wrongdoing, or liability on Advertiser’s part without Advertiser’s prior written consent and may not settle any claim on Advertiser’s behalf, or publicize any settlement, without Advertiser’s prior written consent. 5.
