1. Certain Definitions.
h. “Recoupable Costs” means any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by ONErpm and directly attributable to the distribution,
exploitation, marketing, promotion, production, or advertising of the
Masters and/or Videos.
2. Grant of Rights. Licensor hereby grants and licenses to ONErpm the following
irrevocable, sub-licensable rights throughout the Territory and during the Term:
a. the exclusive right and license to convert, digitize, encode, integrate, make,
cause or otherwise reproduce the Masters and the Videos in any digital or
electronic format now known or hereafter devised for the purposes of
distributing, exploiting or using the Masters and Videos as granted herein;
d. the right and license to stream or broadcast the Masters, whole or in part,
on a gratis basis for purposes of inducing users to download or stream the
Masters ("Preview Clips"). Licensor agrees that no royalties or payments
(including, but not limited to, for the use of the underlying musical
compositions embodied in the Masters) shall accrue or be payable with
respect to any such gratis Preview Clip stream. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Preview Clip may be made available on the Site(s) or any Third Party
Site in such a manner so as to allow consumers to listen to the Preview Clip
but not download the Preview Clip;
e. the exclusive right and license to exploit, monetize, claim and administer
the exploitation of third party audio, visual, and audiovisual recordings and
other content embodying, incorporating, or synchronized with the Masters
on the Third Party Platforms (“UGC”), including, without limitation, the
management of YouTube’s Content ID with respect to the Masters and such
UGC, and the tracking, monetizing, authorizing, taking down or blocking of
UGC on Third Party Platforms (the “Content ID”);
f. the non-exclusive right and license to use in the Territory the approved
name, likeness, logos, trademarks, and biography of each artist whose
performance is embodied in the Masters and Videos and the approved
album artwork, lyrics and liner notes relating to the Masters and Videos
(collectively the “Album Materials”) in connection with the exploitation,
sale, and distribution of the Masters and Videos hereunder and the
advertising, publicizing or promotion of the Masters and Videos in all
configurations and by any and all media, provided that (i) all materials
provided by Licensor to ONErpm shall be deemed approved for purposes
hereof and (ii) Licensor understands that credit may not be provided in
connection with all uses of the Masters and Videos hereunder;
4. Obligations.
iii. collect amounts due from the Third Party Platforms in connection with
exploitations of the Masters and Videos and account to Licensor as set
forth herein. ONErpm does not guarantee that all Third Party
Platforms will make available the Masters and/or Videos, as applicable,
and ONErpm reserves the right to reject distribution of any Master
and/or Video in its discretion.
d. Licensor shall obtain and pay for any necessary clearances and licenses in
the Territory for all of the Licensor’s Content (including, but not limited to,
the musical compositions embodied in the Masters and Videos, unless
otherwise handled and paid directly by the Third Party Platforms, which
shall be Licensor’s responsibility to verify in writing). Accordingly, Licensor
shall be responsible for and pay any and all royalties and other income due
to artists, side artists, producers, writers, publishers and other record
royalty participants from sales or other uses of the Masters and Videos,
including but not limited to, all mechanical royalties payable to writers
and/or publishers of the copyrighted musical compositions embodied in the
Masters and Videos from sales or other uses of the Masters and Videos, all
payments that may be required under collective bargaining agreements
applicable to the Masters and Videos, and any other royalties, fees, and or
monies payable by the Licensor with respect to the Content, unless Licensor
has verified in writing that the Third Party Platforms have paid such
royalties.
5. Accounting.
c. Licensor agrees that ONErpm may freeze and withhold any and all revenues
in Licensor’s account that are received in connection with the Content that
ONErpm believes, in its sole and reasonable discretion, violates this
Agreement or the Site Agreements (defined below), provided that ONErpm
shall give Licensor written notice that such sums are withheld and will
review in good faith any explanation or other response provided by
Licensor. If ONErpm has a good faith belief (and ONErpm’s legal counsel
agrees) that such revenues are the result of fraud or infringement by
Licensor, then such revenues shall be forfeited by Licensor. To the extent
any fraudulent and/or infringing activities are determined to be caused by
Licensor or Licensor’s affiliates’ actions or omissions, any costs incurred by
ONErpm (including legal fees and expenses) in connection therewith may,
in addition to other remedies, be deducted by ONErpm from any monies
otherwise payable to Licensor hereunder. Licensor agrees and authorizes
that ONErpm may disclose Licensor’s personal information and accounting
data in connection with copyright claims and disputes. Certain Third Party
Platforms may also have policies related to fraud and infringement, and
Licensor agrees that it is Licensor’s responsibility to investigate such
policies, if any, and that such policies shall be binding upon Licensor.

shall not be disclosed by Licensor to any third party (except for professional
advisors) without ONErpm’s prior written consent, except as may be required to
be disclosed by applicable law or legal process, provided that Licensor shall
notify ONErpm at least five (5) days prior to any disclosure as required by law or
legal process so as to allow ONErpm an opportunity to protect such terms
through protective order or otherwise.

royalty participants; (vi) the Content (including, without limitation, the
Masters, Videos, Album Materials, YouTube Content, and any underlying
musical compositions embodied therein) and all other materials furnished
by Licensor to ONErpm and ONErpm’s exercise of the rights granted
hereunder, shall not infringe upon any other material, or violate or infringe
upon any common law or statutory rights, including but not limited to
copyright, trademark rights, and rights of privacy and publicity, of any third
party; and (vii) Licensor knows of no material claims, nor basis for such
claims, which may affect the ownership or validity of the Content.

days prior written notice to ONErpm (email being sufficient), which
termination will become effective at the end of the current period (the
“Termination Date”). ONErpm shall have a thirty (30) day window following
the Termination Date to request takedown of all Masters, provided,
however, that Licensor acknowledges and agrees that the actual timing of
takedown by the Third Party Platforms may vary. Following expiration of
the Term, ONErpm shall have a collection period that shall extend until
such time as ONErpm has received payment for all exploitations of the
Masters, Videos, and Channel during the Term as authorized herein,
including, without limitation, payments from Third Party Platforms and
license fees arising from Procured Licensing.
b. ONErpm shall have the right, at any time, to terminate this Agreement,
remove any of Licensor’s Content from the Site(s), cease providing services
to Licensor, and/or cease the exploitation and distribution of any Content,
which ONErpm may elect to do as a result of ONErpm’s determination that
(i) Licensor’s Content infringes or may infringe upon any third party rights,
(ii) Licensor has violated the Site Agreements, the Third Party Platform
Agreements (as defined below), or the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, (iii) Licensor’s Content may be offensive or obscene, (iv)
Licensor’s actions or Content may harm ONErpm or bring ONErpm into
disrepute by association, or (v) for any other reason, or no reason, that
ONErpm may determine in its sole discretion. In the event of ONErpm’s
termination of this Agreement pursuant to (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) above, in
addition to other rights and remedies available to ONErpm, Licensor agrees
to immediately pay to ONErpm the then current unrecouped balance of
Recoupable Costs.
9. Miscellaneous.
a. The parties agree and acknowledge that the relationship between the
parties is that of independent contractors. This Agreement shall not be
deemed to create a partnership or joint venture, and neither party is the
other's agent, partner, or employee.
e. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof shall for any
reason be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration
proceeding under this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, such
decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of
this Agreement, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that this
Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the
extent necessary to render it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving
its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefore
another provision that is valid, legal, and enforceable so as to materially
effectuate the parties’ intent.
f. As a condition precedent to any assertion by Licensor that ONErpm is in
default in performing any obligation contained herein or otherwise in
breach of this Agreement, Licensor shall give ONErpm detailed written
notice of such default or breach, and ONErpm shall be allowed a period of
thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice within which to cure
such alleged default or breach. No default or breach by ONErpm will be
deemed to be incurable. The failure of either party to act in the event of a
breach of this Agreement by the other will not be deemed a waiver of such
breach or a waiver of future breaches.
g. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the State of New
York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions, and its validity,
construction, performance and breach shall be governed by the laws of the
State of New York.
