Digital

financial participation

Rocket Fund Investment:

• Rocket Fund contribution is an equity investment.
• Rocket Fund may invest up to a maximum of 75% of the total digital content budget.
• No maximum investment has been established, however the Rocket Fund expects to invest up to $50,000 per digital content application.
• There is no limit to the number of applications or total investment amount per corporate group. Should any one corporation apply and receive funding for multiple digital components, a preferred recoupment position for the Rocket Fund will be expected which may be tied to the recoupment of Rocket Fund's television program investment.

Rocket Fund Recoupment:

• The producer must demonstrate that revenue streams will be available for recoupment of the Rocket Fund investment.
• Rocket Fund recoupment will be equal to the percentage of its investment in the digital content. For example, should Rocket Fund invest 50% of the total digital budget, Rocket Fund recoupment will be 50% of revenues generated from the exploitation of the digital content.
• Rocket Fund will consider alternate recoupment proposals should the content being applied for warrant a different recoupment strategy.
• Allowable distribution fees and expenses will be negotiated on a case by case basis, and will be based on the Rocket Fund's general principles for revenue sharing in the digital rights for television programs.
