THIS NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) for the licensing of the track(s) identified on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Track(s)”) is a legal agreement between BRAZZEN, the party granting the license of the sample pack containing the Track(s) (“Licensor”) and you the undersigned, the party receiving the license of the Track(s) (“Recipient”). Licensor and Recipient are each a “Party” and may be referred to herein collectively as the “Parties.” This Agreement is solely for the licensing of the Track(s), which was discovered using the platform made available by Beatclub, Inc. (“Beatclub”).

1. License.

  1. Subject to the restrictions in Section 2 hereof, Licensor hereby grants to Recipient a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, perpetual license, to create an unlimited amount of derivative works from the Track(s) by incorporating a vocal melody and lyrics and other production and musical elements (e.g., drums, guitars, etc.)(“Meaningful Additions”) to the Track(s) (the Track(s) once combined with such Meaningful Additions, the “Derivative Work(s)”) for public dissemination and commercial purposes (the “License”). Such public dissemination may include, but is not limited to, the reproduction, public performance, distribution, transmission, incorporation, and/or other use of the Derivative Work(s) by Recipient in connection with Recipient’s: (i) personal projects, (ii) major label releases, (iii) independent releases, (iv) beat tapes and/or (v) mix tapes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient shall have no rights to exploit the Track(s) separate and apart from its inclusion in a Derivative Work(s) as authorized hereunder. Recipient is not permitted to distribute the Track(s), other than to the extent the Track(s) is incorporated into a Derivative Work(s) (and then subject to the terms of this Agreement). For avoidance of doubt, this license is non-exclusive and Licensor may continue to license the Track(s) to other third parties.

  2. Licensor Likeness Rights. Unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement, Recipient shall have no right to use the Licensor’s name(s), stage-name(s), image, likeness or other indicia of Licensor’s identity and persona to market and promote the Derivative Work(s) or for any other purpose. Violation of this subparagraph 1 (b) shall be deemed a material breach hereunder and shall activate all of Licensor’s termination rights pursuant to paragraph 8 hereunder.

2. Restrictions.

  1. Recipient shall not register the Track(s) with any performance rights organization.

  2. Recipient shall not produce, or authorize the production of, any audio-visual works incorporating the Derivative Work(s).

  3. Recipient is not permitted to register the Track(s) with the U.S. Copyright Office and shall not register the Derivate Work(s) with the U.S. Copyright Office without Licensor’s prior written consent.

  4. Recipient shall only distribute the Derivative Work(s) through the following channels: (i) physical sales; (ii) through internet streaming services (whether streamed or downloaded, but only through DSPs) (collectively, the “Streaming Services”) (but solely in a manner which is monetized); and (iii) via monetized YouTube video(s) or channel(s) provided that such videos are directly related to the song and artist, i.e., MTV style/artist-centric videos.

  5. Recipient may engage in any live public performances by the Recipient of the Derivative Work(s), including terrestrial radio, and including any television broadcast provided Recipient is the party that performs the Derivative Work.

  6. Recipient is not permitted to grant any synchronization licenses or other third party licenses to the Track(s) or of the Derivative Work(s) without Licensor’s prior written consent.

  7. Recipient is not permitted to license or sublicense any use of the Track(s) or of the Derivative Work(s), in whole or in part, for any so-called “samples”.

  8. Recipient is not permitted to sublicense, sell, lend, rent, lease or otherwise distribute the Track(s) as is (i.e., without Meaningful Additions) whether or not such Track(s) are modified under any circumstance, including, without limitation, as sound effects, loops or source material.

  9. Recipient is not permitted to materially alter or otherwise modify the Track(s). It is expressly acknowledged that changes to the key, timing and/or formatting (i.e., adjusting file size) shall not be considered material alterations or modifications.

3. Fee. As good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Recipient shall pay Licensor a fee in the amount displayed for the specific product being licensed (the “Fee”) via the Beatclub checkout page (the “Fee”) and this Agreement shall not be effective until the Fee is paid. The Fee is non-negotiable, non-refundable and non-recoupable (including without limitation by being offset against any royalties that may become due).

4. Co-Producer Credit. Recipient shall be required to provide credit to Licensor on all distributions of the Derivative Work(s) by including “Co-Produced by A.Heard” in the “credits” and/or “personnel” sections attached to all distributions of the Derivative Work(s), including, without limitation, in any liner notes, back cover of packaging, any “single” embodying the Derivative Work(s) on the “A-side”, meta-data and in all print ads placed or controlled by Recipient or a third party authorized by Recipient to distribute the Derivative Work(s) of one-fourth (1/4) page or larger featuring the Derivative Work(s). In the event of any failure by Recipient to issue such credit to Licensor, Recipient must use best efforts to correct and cause any applicable third party to correct such failure immediately and on a prospective basis. Recipient’s uncured failure to provide such credit shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Violation of this paragraph 4 shall be deemed a material breach hereunder and shall activate all of Licensor’s termination rights pursuant to paragraph 8 hereunder.

5. Master Participation and Accountings.

  1. On sales and other exploitations of records embodying master recordings of the Derivative Work(s) as permitted hereunder, Licensor shall be entitled to receive a royalty in the amount of ten percent (10%) of all income received by Recipient (i.e., all monies received by or credited to Recipient, less only applicable taxes) generated by the Derivative Work(s). In the event the Derivative Work(s) are produced by another individual and/or mixed by a third party to whom Recipient is obligated to pay a royalty, the royalty payable to Licensor hereunder with respect to the Derivative Work(s) concerned shall not be reduced by the royalty payable to such other individual(s).

6. Publishing. The parties hereby acknowledge that the entire worldwide right, title and interest, including the copyright, the right to copyright, and the renewal right, in and to each of the underlying musical compositions in each Derivative Work shall be owned in the following percentages: 50 percent (50%) by Licensor’s music publishing affiliate for musical compositions embodied in Derivative Work(s), and 50 percent (50%) to Recipient. If and when Recipient registers the Derivative Work(s) with a performance rights organization (“PRO”), Recipient shall include that Licensor shall be entitled to the percentage set forth above of all amounts payable by the PRO to anyone, including Licensor or any other publishers designated when registering with a PRO, with respect to the Derivative Work(s). Licensor and Recipient shall administer their own share of such musical compositions, provided that Licensor shall have the right to issue licenses for the entirety of any such musical composition(s) without Recipient’s consent, Recipient shall not have right to issue licenses for any such musical composition(s) without Licensor’s consent, and Recipient further agrees to license its respective shares of such musical compositions to any third parties under the same terms and conditions as approved and/or licensed by Licensor. In connection with any such license issued by or on behalf of Recipient for the entirety of such musical composition, however, it is understood and agreed that Licensor shall instruct and use reasonable efforts to cause the licensee to account directly to Recipient for Recipient’s proportionate share of the total compensation due. As between the parties, Recipient shall have the right to designate the title or titles of any musical composition embodied in a Derivative Work.

7. Ownership. Licensor shall continue to own all right, title, and interest in and to the master recording and composition of the Track(s), and nothing herein shall constitute an assignment of any such rights. For the avoidance of doubt, Recipient shall not own the intellectual property rights to the composition or sound recording of the Track(s). Recipient is solely licensed the right to use the Track(s) in the Derivative Work(s) and to exploit the Derivative Work(s) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All Meaningful Additions written and recorded by Recipient shall be owned by Recipient and the Derivative Work(s) shall be owned by Recipient. Following any termination of this Agreement, (other than for breach of the Agreement as set forth in paragraph 8(a) hereinbelow) Recipient shall be able to continue using (and owning) all Meaningful Additions that had been layered over the Track(s), and under no circumstances shall such layered materials be deemed owned by Licensor.

  4. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this EULA, the license granted hereunder shall also terminate, and You shall cease using and destroy all copies of the Plugin.

  5. Termination of this EULA shall not affect any right or liability accrued by either You or Beatclub as of the date of termination.

Recipient shall insure that it and all other copyright holders inform all third parties related to the Derivative Work including but not limited to licensees, assignees, or successors of such reversion obligations and shall ensure that such obligations are included in all agreements related to the Derivative Work. Further, Licensor shall not be deemed to be in breach of any of its obligations hereunder unless Recipient will have given written notice setting forth the nature of such breach and Licensor will have failed to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after Recipient’s receipt of such notice.

  2. Following termination of this Agreement, Recipient shall be obligated to remove the Derivative Work(s) from streaming services and all other marketplaces.
