However, certain advertising categories will require prepayment as specified in the rate cards. Acceptable forms of prepayment are bank wire transfer, credit card or advertiser or agency guaranteed check. Advertisers or agencies wishing to establish credit with The Times must request a credit application from The New York Times Credit Department. Application requests can be made by phone (212-556-8777), fax (212-556-1833), e-mail (creditdepartment@ nytimes.com) or online at nytmediakit.com.

General Policies and Rate Information Advertising accepted by The New York Times is subject to all terms and conditions contained herein. Forwarding of an order by the advertiser constitutes acceptance by the advertiser of all rates and conditions that exist when the advertising is sold by The Times, and those of subsequent rate cards. Forwarding of an advertising order also indicates acceptance of the advertising acceptability policies of The New York Times. In the event of a conflict between the advertiser s order and the rate card, the rate card shall govern. The terms and conditions of this rate card and all subsequent rate cards are incorporated into every advertising contract between The Times and the advertiser and/or agency. Submission of advertising subsequent to the receipt of such a contract constitutes acceptance of the terms and conditions of the contract. The Times reserves the right to issue new rate cards and to revise its rates in writing, effective no less than five (5) days after distribution of the new rate card and/or of written notice of rate changes to the address of the advertisers or agency stated in a contract. When The Times is requested to insert a box number in a full-run advertisement and forward the box number replies, the service charge is $275 for full-run and $100 for suburban zoned advertisements. Replies will be forwarded to the advertiser for a period of one month following the publication date of the ad. Charges for box numbers are not commissionable. Contracts and Copy Regulations The rate card level applicable to an advertiser is determined by the advertiser s projected volume during a 12-month contract period. Our COF Department will provide the advertiser or agency with a New York Times contract for signature. Contract requests must specify a definite beginning date and are subject to a rate card effective when the contract begins and subsequent rate card increases and modifications. Volume and frequency contract discounts will be earned only on advertising inserted within a 12-month period. Additionally, a contract is applicable to ads placed within a single advertising category. If the advertiser exceeds the initial estimated contract level and achieves the next level of the rate card, the advertiser will be entitled to a rebate based upon the retroactive application of the lower rate earned. The Times will credit the advertiser or agency account for the amount of the rebate earned. If the contract level is not achieved, the advertiser will be assessed a shortage based upon the retroactive application of the higher rate earned. The Times will invoice the advertiser or agency for the shortage, and payment will be due to The Times in accordance with the previously established credit terms for the advertiser. 6 The New York Times GI 2007 Rates may also be viewed on nytmediakit.com

Advertising not paid for in compliance with credit policies will not be included when calculating the final earned rate and is not eligible for volume and frequency discounts. Contracts can be voided at The Times s discretion unless space is used within 30 days from the effective date. The volume discount levels for display advertising are based on 126 column inches per broadsheet page or 65 column inches per Book Review page. Volume discount levels for classified and display on classified advertising are based on number of lines or frequency of insertion, as noted in the rate card for the applicable category. For frequency contracts, multiple insertions of the same ad on a single day count as one insertion for contract fulfillment, unless otherwise specified. Magazine column inches will be credited toward fulfillment of contracts. See The New York Times Magazine rate card for details or contact your Account Manager. Each advertising entity will establish a separate advertising contract with The Times. Corporate affiliates are not automatically entitled to the contract benefits of each other. Copy Regulations The advertiser and the advertising agency jointly grant to The Times the non-exclusive worldwide perpetual right and license to publish the advertisement in The Times, including in print and in any other format or media now known or later devised, whether or not such advertisement may be individually accessed, perceived or retrieved from such form or media. In addition, the advertiser and the advertising agency assume liability, jointly and severally, for all content (including text representations and illustrations) of advertisements printed and also assume responsibility for any claims arising therefrom made against The Times. Advertiser acknowledges that The New York Times owns the copyright in and to the selection, coordination and arrangement of the content of the newspaper, including any advertisements it publishes. Advertiser agrees that to the extent The New York Times deems it necessary, advertiser is obligated to cooperate and/or participate in any enforcement by The New York Times of The New York Times s copyrights. The New York Times shall carry the appropriate copyright notice in its name. The advertiser and the advertising agency agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold The Times harmless from all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), liabilities and damages arising in any way from publication of any advertisement placed by the advertiser or the advertising agency. The Times will not be bound by any special clauses relating to legal liability, circulation guarantees or any other condition in contracts or insertion orders that conflict with its policies, unless The Times has specifically agreed in writing. The Times accepts no liability for its failure, for any cause, to insert an advertisement. The Times accepts no liability for reductions in distribution, caused by acts of God, strikes, labor disputes, suspension of publication, failure of transportation or any other cause beyond its control. The Times accepts no liability for any error in advertisement caused by it, except for the cost of the space actually occupied by the error. In order to qualify for an allowance, claims for errors must be made to COF within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. Credit for errors is allowed only for the first insertion. The New York Times will make the final determination on the amount, if any, of a credit allowance. Two or more separate advertisements may not be submitted to fill a single standard unit space. For split run advertising information, please contact your Account Manager. Book Review copy should be prepared according to the schedule shown for Books under Category Rates. Cancellation of orders over the telephone will be accepted subject to written confirmation by the advertiser the same day. Advertising orders with or without reproduction material must be accompanied by identifying copy. Drawing, art and articles for reproduction are accepted at advertiser s risk and should contain an identifying mark to facilitate return. The Times shall not be responsible and does not assume any liability for damage or loss to original printing material supplied.

Mechanical Requirements Please see page 3, How to Order a Display Ad, for information on submitting advertising material to The New York Times. For additional information on electronic ad submission, including transmission options and file settings, visit our website at nytmediakit.com. 1) Color newspaper ads must be submitted in digital format and sent via electronic transmission or on disk. Please visit our website at nytmediakit.com for specifications on creating color ads for The New York Times. 2) Electronic submission of industry standard PDF files is preferred for black and white newspaper advertising material. Files can be transmitted at no charge through our web site, nytmediakit.com. 3) Camera reflective material is acceptable for black and white advertising when electronic submission is not possible. Camera ready material should be created with an 85-line screen at a 45-degree angle using either a round or elliptical dot. Mezzo Tint, Etch Tone and Straight or Random Line can at times reproduce less than acceptable results and should be avoided, especially for fine details. The following standards are for black and white newspaper ads and should serve as a guide only. Every continuous tone or half tone image, supplied digitally or otherwise, should be evaluated on an individual basis with an expected dot grain of approximately 30% in the 50% dot area using an 85% screen ruling. Dot gain curves are non-linear; ads will gain more in their mid-tone values than the highlight or shadow. All ads supplied to The New York Times should have a minimum of 5% dot in the highlight and a maximum of 80% dot in the shadow area. Any part of the ad not intended to print solid black should be created with a maximum 85% screen. A minimum of 20% contrast between foreground and background is recommended. Type should be kept at a minimum of 6 pt. for standard or 10 pt. for reverse. All type intended to print solid black should be set at a 100% black. Surprinted type should be solid black and contrasted against 30% black screen or less. Reverse or knockout type should be 0% (white) type on a 70% screen or higher. Fine serif typefaces should be avoided; use 7 pt. minimum for standard type or 11 pt. minimum for reverse. Ads submitted digitally can expect up to 2% shrinkage when printed. Ads supplied as camera ready can expect between 2% and 4% shrinkage. For additional assistance with material specifications, please call COF at (212) 556-7777; press 3, then 2, to reach a NYT Advertising Production Representative. Advertising Acceptability Guidelines The New York Times maintains an Advertising Acceptability Department whose function is to examine advertisements before publication to determine if they meet the standards of acceptability The Times has developed over the years. The Times may decline to accept advertising that is misleading, inaccurate or fraudulent; that makes unfair competitive claims; or that fails to comply with its standards of decency and dignity. If an advertisement contains statements or illustrations that are not deemed acceptable, and that The Times thinks should be changed or eliminated, the advertiser will be notified. The Times will attempt to negotiate changes with the advertiser; however, if changes cannot be negotiated, the advertisement will be declined by The Times. In addition, an advertisement must sometimes be declined because of the applicability of laws dealing with such matters as libel, copyright and trademark, the right to privacy, the sale of securities, the sale of real estate and political advertising. The New York Times maintains clear separation between news and editorial matter and its advertisements. Accordingly, ads that include elements usually associated with The New York Times editorial matter will not be accepted (for example, but not limited to: Times-style headlines, bylines, news-style column arrangements or typography). Additionally, The Times reserves the right to label an advertisement with the word advertisement when, in its opinion, this is necessary to make clear the distinction between editorial material and advertising. The Advertising Acceptability Department can be contacted directly at (212) 556-7171 for questions or for a pamphlet containing detailed information on acceptability guidelines. General Information For questions or additional information regarding advertising in The New York Times, please visit our website at nytmediakit.com, or call The New York Times Advertising Department or contact COF at (212) 556-7777 or 1-800-NYT-5515 outside the New York Metropolitan area. 8 The New York Times GI 2007 Rates may also be viewed on nytmediakit.com
