every person or entity that becomes a paying Costumer of any of the websites,
brands and applications that have been entrusted to MCS, by following banners,
links or other content provided by MCS that the Affiliate has placed on its
website(s), the Affiliate will receive an Affiliate fee, as set out below and
as stipulated on the URL http://www.mycasinoshare.com/partner-programs/. The Affiliate fee can
vary between a Revenue Share, a Cost Per Acquisition or combination of both
(Hybrid) and will be determined by the Program that the Affiliate will join,
following the specific calculation methods set out in a specific Program to be
found on http://www.mycasinoshare.com/partner-programs/ , which may be subject
to change. If the conditions and parameters of any Program would be unclear and/or
need interpretation, they will always be applied in the way most favourable to
MCS. For every person or
entity that becomes an Affiliate (Subaffiliate) under any of the Affiliate
Programs offered by MCS, through the efforts of the Affiliate, the Affiliate
will receive a Subaffiliation fee, as set out below. A revenue share is
always calculated as a percentage of the Net Game Revenue (NGR), which is
constituted of: all bets minus all wins minus gaming taxes minus accrued
expenses. The accrued expenses (Expenses helpdesk, Technical expenses, Admin
fee, Expenses for PR management and the control organism) are calculated as 19%
of all bets. Negative balances are not carried over to subsequent months. There are three methods by which the Affiliate Fee may be calculated and MCS
shall determine which payment calculation method to allocate to the Affiliate,
which may be subject to change. 4.2. Tracking
– Any Costumer or Subaffiliate will be tracked through a unique tracking
id, that links the Costumer or Subaffiliate to the Affilliate. MCS retains the
right to refuse or exclude any Costumer or Subaffiliate at its sole discretion
without the need to provide a motivation to the Affiliate. MCS will provide the
Affiliate with statistics that will allow the Affiliate to monitor the revenue
generated by the Customer or Subaffiliates. If there would be a discrepancy
between MCS’s data and the Affiliates data, MCS’s data will always take
precedence. 4.3. Revenue
Share - The Affiliate fee shall constitute of a monthly commission
according to the percentage of NGR as per the published commission schedule, or
a different mutually agreed schedule 4.4. Cost
Per Acquisition (CPA) - The Affiliate fee shall amount to a fixed sum as
per the published commission schedule, or a different mutually agreed schedule.
The Affiliate Fee shall be payable when a Customer introduced to MCS by the
Affiliate deposits a sum which is at least equivalent to the minimum deposit
allowable by MCS, or alternatively according to the baseline deal, which sum
must equal or exceed an amount stipulated by MCS in the relevant Program. 4.5. Hybrid
- The Affiliate fee shall be a combination of the Cost Per Acquisition
method and the Percentage of Net Revenue method, as may be determined by MCS
and mutually agreed with the Affiliate. 4.6. Subaffiliation
fee - the Affiliate shall be paid a monthly commission according to a
percentage of NGR generated by the Subaffiliates referred to MCS by the
Affiliate. 4.7. Revenue
Commission Booster - MCS may implement a temporary revenue commission
booster (RCB), constituting and additional Revenue Share to be added to the
agreed Affiliation fee under the specific conditions set out in the relevant
Program. For the purposes of this Agreement, the RCB will be assimilated to the
Affiliate fee, but they will not make an indivisible whole. Article 5 – Taxes The Parties hereto
shall each bear their own respective taxes, if any, incurred in connection with
this Agreement. Article 6 – Illicit conduct and indemnification 6.1. The
Affiliate will indemnify and hold harmless MCS for all claims arising out of
any breach of this Agreement or any illicit, fraudulent or tortuous activities
or conduct by the Affiliate or its own affiliates in the broadest sense. 6.2. If
MCS determines that the Affiliate has engaged in any illicit, fraudulent or
tortuous activities or conduct, MCS may (without limiting any other rights or
remedies available to MCS) withhold any Affiliate fees and/or terminate this
Agreement immediately. 6.3. The
Affiliate will not induce existing Customers to re-sign with a different
username. MCS considers the re-signing of existing players as fraud traffic and
reserves the right to withhold Affiliate fees relating to such traffic. 6.4. If a Costumer or
Subaffiliate of the Affiliate proceeds with any illicit, fraudulent or tortuous
activities or conduct, MCS has the right to retain all amounts due to the
Affiliate under this Agreement if MCS has reasonable cause to believe that the
Affiliate had knowledge of this conduct or these activities or to withhold the
relevant Affiliate fees with respect to the relevant Customer or Subaffiliates,
even without such knowledge by the Affiliate. The relevant Customer or
Subaffiliates will in any case be excluded as a basis for calculation of
Affiliate fees or Subaffiliation fees. 6.5. MCS shall not be liable to the Affiliate in
respect of any loss of profits, goodwill, data or any type of special indirect
or consequential loss (including loss or damage suffered by the Affiliate as a
result of an action brought by a third party) arising out of this Agreement or
the performance thereof even if such loss was reasonably foreseeable or MCS had
been advised of the possibility of the Affiliate incurring the same. 6.6. Without prejudice to
the immediately preceding clause, in the event that MCS is found liable in any
way, by a court of law and/or a similar authority, with legal competence and/or
jurisdiction over MCS, then MCS’s liability in damages shall be limited to the
amount, if any, payable to the Affiliate in the last three months by way of net
Affiliate Fees under this Agreement. Article 7 – Force majeure 7.1. Force majeure shall mean any

penalty, for an equal period. 7.3. The party claiming force majeure
shall promptly inform the other party to this effect in writing, explaining its
reasons for doing so. 7.4. If an event of force majeure
occurs, the Parties shall immediately consult with one another with a view to
finding an equitable solution and shall use all reasonable efforts to minimise
the consequences of the occurrence. If the conditions of force majeure
prevail for more than 2 months and the Parties have been unable to reach an
equitable solution, the other party shall have the right, pursuant to article
10.1. (ii), to terminate this Agreement. Article 8 – Relationship between the Parties The Parties are
independent entities. None of the provisions of this Agreement can be
interpreted as indicating the intent of the Parties to form a company,
association or joint venture. Neither party is
authorised to represent the other party in any way. Article 9 – Duration The duration of this
Agreement shall be undetermined. Article 10 – Termination 10.1. Notwithstanding articles 2.3, 2.4, 6.2 and

e-mail to the Licensee specifying the reasons for the termination, if any of
the following events occur: (i) the Affiliate materially breaches any of its

breach or breaches from occurring in the future and to rectify the situation,
fails to comply with such a request; (ii) an event of force majeure
prevails for a period in excess of 2 months and the Parties have been unable to

and other content provided by MCS from the Affiliate’s website(s). Article 11 – Miscellaneous Provisions 11.1. This Agreement, together with its Annexes,
contains the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior
agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to the same
subject matter that are still in force between the Parties. 11.2. Any amendments to this Agreement, as well
as any additions or deletions, must be agreed in writing by both the Parties.
MCS, however, has the right to alter the Agreement unilaterally without prior
written consent of the Affiliate, in which case the Affiliate will have the
right to terminate the agreement without notice within 2 weeks after the
changes to the Agreement have been notified to the Affiliate. This notification
of changes can be done via e-mail, via a notification through the Affiliate’s
on line account, or by publishing the changed Agreement to MCS’s website, in
which case the Affiliate will be supposed to have knowledge of the changes upon
the date of publication. If the Affiliate does not proceed with termination,
the changes will be binding. 11.3. Whenever possible, the provisions of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be valid and enforceable
under the applicable law. However, if one or more provisions of this Agreement
are found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the
remainder of that provision and of this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never
been contained herein. Moreover, in such an event, the Parties shall amend the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) or any part thereof and/or agree
on a new provision in such a way as to reflect insofar as possible the purpose
of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s). 11.4. Any failure or delay by a Party in exercising
any right under this Agreement, any single or partial exercise of any right
under this Agreement or any partial reaction or absence of reaction by a Party

this Agreement, shall not operate or be interpreted as a waiver (either express
or implied, in whole or in part) of that Party’s rights under this Agreement or
under the said provision(s), nor shall it preclude any further exercise of any
such rights. Any waiver of a right must be express and in writing. If there has
been an express written waiver of a right following a specific failure by a
Party, this waiver cannot be invoked by the other Party in favour of a new
failure, similar to the prior one, or in favour of any other kind of failure. 11.5. All notices and other forms of
communication required under this Agreement must be in writing and delivered or
sent to the receiving Party by e-mail. 11.6. Either Party may change the address to

concerning the validity, interpretation, enforcement, performance and termination
of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Belgian
law, and no effect shall be given to any other choice-of-law or

would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to be applicable. The Belgian commercial
rules of evidence are made applicable. 12.2. All disputes concerning the validity,
interpretation, enforcement, performance and termination of this Agreement

their respective Antwerp divisions. MyCasinoShare Affiliate Program General terms and conditions
