1.
Grant of Rights . Company hereby grants to Trail Blazer Distribution the following rights
throughout the world (the Territory ) and during the Term (as such term is defined below):
(a)
Exclusive Distribution Rights . Trail Blazer Distribution shall have the exclusive right to
sell, copy, distribute, perform, sublicense and otherwise exploit the Recordings (as such term is
defined below) in whole or in part direct to consumers or to retailers, digital service providers and
other users of any description (the " DSPs ") that sell, copy, distribute, transmit, perform or otherwise
exploit sound and/or audiovisual recordings by any and all means and media (whether now known or
existing in the future). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trail Blazer Distribution shall have no right to
distribute the Recordings via physical distribution of pre-manufactured vinyl records, cassettes, CDs,
or DVDs through normal retail channels.
(b)
YouTube . Trail Blazer Distribution offers to Company a process for monetizing
Companys Qualified Videos, as well as those user generated videos ( User Videos ) that include
Companys Qualified Sound Recordings or Qualified Videos (as such terms are hereinafter defined,
and which User Videos shall be referred to herein as YouTube UGC Company Videos ), that are
uploaded to the YouTube site and service ( www.youtube.com ). Without limiting the generality of the
grant of rights in paragraph 1(a) above, as part of such grant of rights, Company hereby authorizes
the following:
(i)

Channel Integration and Video Fingerprinting . Trail Blazer Distribution shall have the exclusive
worldwide right and license, during the Term, to integrate, monetize, and exploit any and all YouTube
channels controlled by Company (including by virtue of rights granted by the Distributed Labels (as
defined in paragraph 3(a) below)) (including, without limitation, those channels listed below) (the
Channels ), as well as the content exploited through the Channels (the Content ), as part of Trail
Blazer Distributions YouTube multi-channel network. Without limiting the generality of such rights, as
part of such rights, Trail Blazer Distribution shall have the exclusive right, following Companys, Trail
Blazer Distributions, or the applicable Distributed Labels delivery of Qualified Videos to YouTube as
reference files, to collect payment (except as otherwise set forth in paragraph 1(b)(ii) below) from
YouTube for advertising uses attached to such Qualified Videos (including, without limitation, those
Qualified Videos embodied within YouTube UGC Company Videos). Company agrees to provide Trail
Blazer Distribution with administrative-level log-in rights and access to each of the Channels on a
continuous and uninterrupted basis throughout the Term. Trail Blazer Distribution reserves the right
to decline integration, monetization, and/or exploitation of any proposed Channel and/or Content
through Trail Blazer Distributions multi-channel network (and/or to reject or discontinue integration,
monetization, and/or exploitation of any Channel and/or Content), for any reason or no reason, at
any time during the Term. Qualified Videos shall mean visual or audiovisual Recordings for which
Company controls the exclusive rights to the master video recording and (for audiovisual Recordings)
the master sound recording embodied therein (including, with respect to the master sound recording,
exclusive rights arising from rights granted to Company or a Distributed Label within a
synchronization license that expressly authorizes Companys (or the Distributed Labels) exploitation
of such master sound recording via YouTube). In connection with the rights set forth within this
paragraph 1(b)(i), Trail Blazer Distribution shall pay to Company the Companys share of gross
receipts received from YouTube on the basis as provided in paragraph (a) of the attached Schedule
A.
[Channel name/URL]

(ii)
Audio Fingerprinting . Trail Blazer Distribution shall have the exclusive
worldwide right to deliver Qualified Sound Recordings to YouTube as reference files and to collect
payment from YouTube for advertising uses attached to YouTube UGC Company Videos embodying
such Qualified Sound Recordings. Qualified Sound Recordings shall mean audio-only Recordings
for which Company controls the exclusive rights to the master sound recording. For clarity, sound
Recordings in the public domain and sound Recordings licensed by or to Company for compilations
would not be considered Qualified Sound Recordings because Company does not have exclusive
rights to such sound Recordings. Company additionally grants to Trail Blazer Distribution the right to
represent, in relation to YouTube UGC Company Videos only, the underlying compositions identified
by Company in Companys workstation on Trail Blazer Distributions b2b website as being 100%
worldwide Company-controlled compositions (100% Controlled Compositions ) and to collect
amounts payable by YouTube to the party owning or controlling such 100% Controlled Compositions
for advertising uses attached to YouTube UGC Company Videos. Trail Blazer Distribution shall pay to
Company the Companys share of receipts on the basis provided in paragraph (a) of the attached
Schedule A with respect to gross receipts allocated to the party owning or controlling the applicable
Qualified Sound Recordings.

Misc . Trail Blazer Distribution may perform, in Trail Blazer Distributions sole
discretion, additional services on Companys behalf (e.g., providing information regarding YouTube
best practices, trouble-shooting) in connection with the rights granted to Trail Blazer Distribution
within this article (the YouTube Rights ), and Company hereby grants to Trail Blazer Distribution any
and all rights and licenses as may be reasonably required for Trail Blazer Distribution to exploit,
perform, and enjoy such YouTube Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this article prevents
Company from demanding takedown of a YouTube UGC Company Video if Company becomes aware
of any such YouTube UGC Company Video and does not approve of it. In such circumstances,
Company may notify Trail Blazer Distribution that it wishes such YouTube UGC Company Videos to
be taken down, and Trail Blazer Distribution shall issue to YouTube a takedown notice demanding
that YouTube immediately take down such YouTube UGC Company Video.
(c)
Sound Recording Copyright Owner Representative . Trail Blazer Distribution shall
have the exclusive right to collect all income deriving from the Recordings as Company's authorized

Trail Blazer Distrbution written notice of any such prior collection arrangements promptly following
the Effective Date).
(d)
Synchronization . Trail Blazer Distribution shall have the non-exclusive right to license
reproduction of the Recordings in synchronization with visual images in connection with audiovisual
works (subject to Company's prior approval of each synch license, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and will not be withheld for the principal purpose of revising the business
terms between Trail Blazer Distribution and Company as set forth herein), except that once Trail
Blazer Distribution introduces a synchronization placement opportunity in writing to Company, then
such opportunity (along with any options or ancillary uses, e.g. film as well as its trailers, TV show as
well as its commercials, and vice versa) shall become exclusive to Trail Blazer Distribution.
(e)

provide content distribution services (the Distributed Labels ), and (ii) all materials delivered by
Company or a Distributed Label to Trail Blazer Distribution pursuant to paragraph 1(e) above
(including, without limitation, such materials originating from the Distributed Labels). For the
avoidance of doubt, without limiting the generality of rights granted to Trail Blazer Disribution by
Company in this agreement, the parties agree that Trail Blazer Distribution shall be the exclusive
distributor, during the Term and within the Territory, of all sound and video recordings that are now, or
may become during the Term, owned or controlled by Company, Companys Affiliates, and each and
every one of Companys or Companys Affiliates Distributed Labels . Companys Affiliates shall

Recording ), Company shall promptly send written notice to Trail Blazer Distribution to remove the

date of such notice. However, Company acknowledges and agrees that the Deleted Recording(s)
may remain available for a period under a pre-existing license or arrangement with a third party
issued by the DSP. For the avoidance of doubt, Company shall not be able to delete for convenience
any Recording that Trail Blazer Distribution has the right to distribute hereunder, but shall only be
permitted to delete a Recording from distribution by Trail Blazer Distribution hereunder in the event
the Deleted Recording: (i) is the subject of a claim by a third party claiming rights to such Recording

claim made by a third-party against one or more DSPs) and/or Recordings that do not abide by the
terms of the then-current so-called iTunes Style Guide, Trail Blazer Distribution shall have the right
(without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Trail Blazer Distribution may then have
against Company), at Trail Blazer Distributions sole discretion, to demand payment of any
outstanding amounts owed by Company to Trail Blazer Distribution (which Company agrees to
