Part One, SECTION 3

Publishing Splits, Copyright and Administration Rights Explanation
In the songwriting and music publishing industry, sometimes interest in a song will be divided equally into what is referred to as the "Writer Share" and "Publisher Share". Generally, the person who holds a Writer Share in a song will be entitled to credit as a Songwriter and to be paid royalties from exploitation of that song. In addition, generally speaking, the person or entity that holds a Publisher Share in that same song will be entitled to a few things - it shall receive and collect all royalties (including the portion of royalties to be paid to the Songwriter for his or her Writer Share), hold the copyright interest in the song, and control the song as the "administrator" or holder of all "administration rights" (i.e. controlling how it is used and licensed). Of course, there can be more than one party holding the Writer Share and more than one party holding the Publisher Share, and for our purposes, those shares may or may not be equal.

Part One, SECTION 4

Song/Track Reproduction & Sample Language
A Song or Mixed Song may be removed from the original TrackOwner Track and placed within new or different track production at any time, but all terms and conditions regarding royalties, copyright ownership administration rights, Publisher Share, and Writer Share pertinent to TrackOwner, Songwriter and Songsinc in respect of the Song remain and follow the life of the Song, in whatever form, irrespective of whether or not the Song is later removed from the new track and exploited in a new form or re-recorded with a new or different track. It is also understood the TrackOwner's Track is always considered a sample when used in the production of a Member's new Song, provided for that use always with the TrackOwner's permission.

Part One, SECTION 5

Song Exploitation
5(a) Member Songwriter and/or Lyricist are giving administration control over the Mixed Song, Mixed Song Master which includes promotional and commercial exploitation such as selling the MP3 Mixed Song Master on digital commercial outlets like iTunes, Tunecore and CD Baby. Further, these Songs can be entered in contests providing the contest rules or prizes do not require 100% ownership in the Song or assigning any rights to the TrackOwner instrumental Track by itself. For avoidance of doubt, Member Songwriter and/or Lyricist have the right to use, license and exploit the New Song Demo Mixed Master subject only to the terms of The Indie TrackShop and PROTrack Agreements.

5(b) Members agree Songsinc may publicly perform on the Website, any Mixed Song Master containing a Mixed Song, any recording of the Song or any Track, without the obligation to pay any public performance royalties or any other fees or royalties that may be otherwise payable to any Performing Rights Organization. In that connection, Songsinc shall have the royalty-free right and license to reproduce so-called "server" copies of any Mixed Song Master containing a Mixed Song, recording of the Song or any Track, in furtherance of such activities on the Website. Songsinc may, at its discretion, highlight any Mixed Song, recording of a Song or any Track on the Website for promotional purposes.

Part One, SECTION 6

6(d) Membership, whether Free or Paid, will extend for an initial period of one (1) year and, unless terminated as provided herein, shall renew automatically for successive one-year periods. If Membership is a Paid Membership, it will automatically extend for successive one-year periods, except that it shall automatically change to a Free Membership at the beginning of each renewal period and remain as such unless and until the Member reinstates the Paid Membership by paying the then-annual current fee. In the event a Free Member decides to upgrade to a Paid Membership, the period will extend to one (1) year from the date of Paid Membership Up-Grade.

6(e) There are no refunds on Songsinc purchased Memberships, and a Songsinc Membership is nontransferable.

Part One, SECTION 7

Downloading of Tracks

7(a) Songsinc will make commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Track download mechanism of the TrackShop, SongShop and PROTracks operational. However, certain technical difficulties, routine site maintenance, upgrades and any other events outside the control of Songsinc may, from time to time, result in temporary download interruptions. Songsinc also reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, functions of the download mechanism with or without notice. Songsinc shall not be liable to any Member or to any third party for any of the direct or indirect consequences of any modification, suspension, discontinuance of, or interruption to, downloads. Songsinc will not reimburse any Member for download malfunctions, but will guarantee delivery of Tracks should there occur a malfunction of a download after receipt of payment by Songsinc, provided that Member notifies Songsinc via e-mail regarding the malfunction, and identifies the Track that could not be downloaded. The applicable Track will be e-mailed (as an MP3) to the Member in question.

Part One, SECTION 8

Submission And Ownership of Tracks
8(a) Songsinc (or its partners) will agree to listen to submitted TrackOwner’s Tracks free of charge in order to consider adding them to the Indie and MelodyTracks TrackShop and/or PROTracks so that they are available for download. To that end, Songsinc does not guarantee that all Tracks submitted by a TrackOwner will be made available for download, and in that connection, Songsinc has the right to refuse to accept any such Track. Any Member submitting a Track must be the copyright owner or agent of record of the Track, and if Track is accepted by Songsinc, a hard copy or an electronic copy (in PDF format) of the TrackOwner Royalty Agreement (or, in the instance of PROTracks, the PROTrack Agreement) will be generated and sent to the Member to be executed and returned to Songsinc. Upon the receipt of a copy of the TrackOwner Royalty Agreement (or the PROTrack Agreement), executed by the TrackOwner signifying the Member's acceptance of the terms contained therein, the Tracks that are covered the Agreement (by the fact that they are specifically identified therein) will be added for downloading to the Indie and MelodyTrack TrackShop and/or PROTracks. Songsinc will require that TrackOwner follow the same procedure (and sign additional TrackOwner Royalty Agreement and/or PROTrack Agreement(s), as appropriate) in the event that that TrackOwner shall submit additional Tracks thereafter.

8(b) TrackOwner’s will retain full ownership of any and all Tracks submitted to Songsinc, at all times, subject only to the rights and licenses granted to Songsinc and Songwriters pursuant to this or any other applicable agreement. TrackOwner may grant similar rights to others for these Tracks during and after the term of his or her TrackOwner Royalty Agreement (or PROTrack Agreement), but should notify Songsinc via email at info@Songsinc.com of his or her intent to do so as a courtesy.

8(c) If TrackOwner believes any Track in which he/she holds an ownership interest has been submitted to Songsinc without TrackOwner’s permission, TrackOwner must, and hereby agrees, to notify Songsinc immediately for removal of such non-owned Track from the Songsinc TrackShop pursuant to the provisions regarding copyright claims as detailed in these General Terms and Conditions.

8(d) TrackOwner may ask to have his or her Track removed at anytime by sending a written request to info@songsinc.com , but must allow a reasonable time period so that Songsinc may physically remove the Track from the Website (it generally takes about 72 hours after receipt of takedown notice, but may take longer). Songsinc will subsequently remit final royalties to the TrackOwner that may otherwise be payable prior to the date of takedown of the Track in question, as such royalties are determined per the TrackOwner Royalty Agreement (or PROTrack Agreement). TrackOwner acknowledges and agrees that all terms herein in regards to Songwriters who have downloaded the Track and to Songs already created with such Track created with such Track prior to the date of takedown by Songsinc of the Track in question, shall survive the removal, and termination, of this Agreement, as to such Track.

8(e) All Tracks available to Members are bound by United States Copyright Law, as amended, and any International treaties to which the United States is a party. TrackOwner grants permission to Songsinc to offer these Tracks for use pursuant to all Songsinc’s terms and conditions and agreements pertinent to Members, including the terms of the TrackOwner Royalty Agreement and/or PROTrack Agreement.

8(f) TrackOwner hereby agrees and consents to allowing Songsinc to assign a new title (of Songsinc's choice) to replace the original title of the Track as submitted by TrackOwner hereunder. TrackOwner grants to Songsinc the right and privilege, at the sole election of Songsinc, to register the Track under such newly-assigned title with the appropriate PRO as the publisher thereof, and/or with the United States Copyright Office as the copyright claimant with rights and permissions, for the sole purpose of; (i) maintaining the privacy of TrackOwner; (ii) protecting the authorship, copyright and legal remedies of TrackOwner; (iii) facilitating the administration and use of the Track as set forth herein, including, without limitation, registration with the applicable PRO and/or United States Copyright Office of any Songs created from the Track, the execution of licenses for the use of any Songs created from the Track, and the collection of revenues from the exploitation of any Songs created from the Track created from the Track. For the avoidance of doubt, the registration of the Track by Songsinc under such newly-assigned title as permitted hereunder shall in no way affect the ownership rights of TrackOwner in and to the Track, which as stated above, remains the property of TrackOwner, subject only to the rights and licenses granted to Songsinc and Songwriters pursuant to this or any other applicable agreement For further avoidance of doubt, only PROTrack TrackOwner separate agreements will govern any re-titling permissions.

8(g) Members agree to the current Indie and MelodyTrack TrackShop and PROTrack Royalty Download Fees. Members acknowledge and agree that these Royalties Download Fees are subject to change at anytime by Songsinc. A percentage of the Royalty Download Fee is paid directly to the TrackOwner for use and license of their Track, as detailed in the TrackOwner and PROTrack Agreements.

Part One, SECTION 9

TrackOwner; Privacy of TrackOwner
TrackOwners shall provide accurate Songwriter names, Performing Rights Organization (PRO) information and split/share information for any Tracks that are submitted and accepted for TrackShop and/or PROTracks.

TrackOwner understands and agrees that this information will be shared with each Member who downloads his/her Track and Vault Dates the Song created from such Track in order that TrackOwner may be afforded proper and correct credit (including, in the event of a Limited Rights Buy-In License, for any PRO filing or Copyright filing made by the Songwriter, and for display on websites and packaging); provided however, to help maintain the privacy of each TrackOwner, Songsinc will provide its own contact information in the place of TrackOwner's contact information whenever deemed appropriate by Songsinc so that Songwriter shall only be able to contact Songsinc.

All Members agree anyone Member who wishes to remain anonymous may provide an alias to Songsinc. Any such Alias will then appear in all credit and filing information and copyright.

Part One, SECTION 10

Songwriters, Songs and Vault Dating
10(a) Member agrees their Songsinc Membership does NOT give them any rights to a TrackOwner’s Track OTHER THAN the non-transferable personal-use rights, with the express intention, agreed to by every Member, of writing lyrics and/or melody within a downloaded Track to create a Song and/or Mixed Song (for clarification a Song is the new lyric and/or melody by itself while the Mixed Song is the new lyric and melody integrated into the Track, which is considered a sample in that production). For the avoidance of doubt, Songwriter shall not have any copyright interest in the Track (by itself), and TrackOwner only grants to Songsinc and Songwriter certain rights pursuant to the terms herein as well as the terms of the other applicable agreements, such as the TrackOwner Royalty Agreement, PROTrack Asset Agreement and Song Vault Letter.

10(b) Upon creation of a Song (lyric and/or melody) or Mixed Song (lyric, melody and Track) based upon the Track, Member shall provide Songsinc with a copy of the recording of the Song or Mixed Song (i.e. the Mixed Song Master), as the case may be, for filing in the Songsinc Vault, in whatever audio format the Member wishes, along with a printed lyric sheet, Song title (as determined by the Member), and all the correct names, addresses and contact information for Songwriter and/or any co-writers. Member may create or produce the recording of the Mixed Song on his or her own or may take the downloaded Track from which the Song is based to a third party recording studio of their own choice to record the Mixed Song. Songsinc will also allow a Member to record only the Song (just the lyric and/or melody) and submit such recording of only the Song (and the identity of the Track from which it was based) for the purpose of Vault Dating as further described below. If a Member submits a recording of only the Song then later records the Mixed Song resulting in a Mixed Song Master, Member agrees to forward to Songsinc a copy of the new Mixed Song Master immediately upon completion to replace the recording of only the Song that was initially submitted. Note that, in any and all events, the cost of creating and producing the recording of the Song or Mixed Song, including, without limitation, the cost of adding any vocals, mixing and any other embellishments during the recording session, will be at Member’s sole expense.

10(c) Songsinc will Vault Date the Song, Lyric, Melody and/or Mixed Song on the date of the receipt by Songsinc of the recording and/or Lyric thereof at no charge to Member. Following receipt of the recording of the Song or Mixed Song, Songsinc will issue a Vault Date Letter to Member (via email in electronic PDF form) to be executed and returned to Songsinc. The Vault Date Letter will provide the Vault Date and a unique Vault Date Number will be assigned to the Song(s) and/or Mixed Song(s) submitted by Member for Vault Dating and kept within the Songsinc system. The assignment of the Vault Date and Vault Date Number is conditioned upon the receipt by Songsinc of an executed copy of the applicable Vault Date Letter.

10(d) Member understands that he or she must complete the Vault Dating process as described herein BEFORE any copyright filing or registration with any Performing Rights Organization (PRO) can be initiated by Member, TrackOwner or Songsinc.

10(e) Member understands and agrees that any resulting Mixed Song Master or any recording of the Song, as the case may be, shall be administered by the Song Songwriter and/or Lyricist who will have control over the Mixed Song, Mixed Song Master to includes promotional and commercial exploitation as more fully set forth in 5(a) above as well as in the TrackShop and PROTracks Agreement Sections of these Terms and Conditions.

10(f) Songsinc Members are allowed to embellish a downloaded Track in any way (for example, a Member may edit in or out an additional verse, chorus or bridge or overlay other instruments on top of the original instrumentation of the Track) at Member’s own expense, understanding the embellished Track may only be used for the Mixed Song and Mixed Song Master, and Member has no rights to the embellished Track apart from the Mixed Song or Mixed Song Master as stated in this Agreement. To clarify, Member may not allow third parties to use the Track, embellished or not, for any purpose. Further, Member agrees that they will not make any use of the Track not specified herein.

10(g) Member has no obligation to finish or record a Song and/or Mixed Song.

10(h) Members may not abuse the Services offered by Songsinc by downloading Tracks for the express purpose of using that Track to write a Song, and then purposely not recording the Song together with that Track, but rather re-producing a different recording to replace that Track in order to avoid any obligations under this Agreement or any of the agreements governing TrackOwners or Songwriters. If Songsinc believes there is a download abuse, it will terminate Member’s download privileges, send a written notification to that Member of said action and pursue all legal remedies.

Part One, SECTION 11

Warranties, Indemnity, Disclaimers
Members warrant and represent that Member is free to enter into this Agreement, and Member is under no disability, restriction or prohibition, whether contractual (no third party consents required or the appropriate waiver or release has been obtained and delivered to Songsinc) or otherwise, with respect to Member’s right to be bound by this Agreement and perform its terms and conditions. Member specifically warrants and represents that no Materials, or any use thereof, will violate any law or infringe upon or violate the rights of any third party, and that no Materials created by Member hereunder are subject to any restrictions under any previous agreements to which Member may be a party.

In the event of any action, suit or proceeding under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees in addition to the costs of said action, suit or proceeding.

Specific Disclaimer For Members
Songwriter specifically acknowledges and agrees that Songsinc makes no warranty as to any of the rights or licenses granted to Member by or through either Songsinc or TrackOwner, as the case may be, in and to the any Songs, Mixed Songs, Tracks or Mixed Song Masters. Accordingly, any and all rights or licenses are granted on an "as-is" basis specifically disclaiming any and all express or implied warranties regarding the Songs, Mixed Songs, Tracks and Mixed Song Masters, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, warranties against infringement, and warranties as to the availability, accuracy, completeness of content of any Songs, Mixed Songs, Tracks or Mixed Song Masters. Songsinc assumes no responsibility, and in no event, shall be liable for any damages whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, general, special, compensatory, consequential, and/or incidental, arising out of or relating to the Songs, Mixed Songs, Tracks, and Mixed Song Masters.

Part One, SECTION 18

Songsinc Similarity Clause
Songsinc Members agree and fully understand that all Members, including Songsinc employees, have access to all Tracks available on the Songsinc Website, and one or more Songs and/or Mixed Songs and/or Mixed Song Masters created by using any Track through the process facilitated by this Website may be similar to other Member’s Songs, Mixed Songs and/or Mixed Song Masters using that same Track.

In any case, each and every Song, Mixed Song, and Mixed Song Master created from the Songsinc TrackShop Track, MelodyTrack and/or PROTrack is recognized as unique and will stand on its own merit. Members agree that they will not be entitled to any compensation for the use of another Member’s Song, Mixed Song, and/or Mixed Song Master, including its copyright, which has been independently created, regardless of similarity. In that connection, Member shall not assert any claim of infringement against another Member or Songsinc or any transferees or licensees of such other Member or Songsinc for creating and using any such similar Songs, Mixed Songs, and/or Mixed Song Masters.

Further, the Members understand and agree that TrackOwner Tracks are being licensed to Songsinc for use by Songsinc and Members on a non-exclusive basis so that TrackOwner may grant similar rights for their Tracks to persons or companies other than Songsinc and Members. As such, it is possible that any third parties may create songs derived from these Tracks that are similar to Member’s Songs, Mixed Songs, or Mixed Song Masters. Accordingly, Members shall not assert any claim of infringement against TrackOwner or any of their licensees or transferees for creating and using any such similar songs.

End of General Terms
-----------------------------------------

Part Two
SONGSINC TRACKSHOP TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Part Two, SECTION 1

Submission And Ownership of Tracks
1(a) TrackOwners who have their Tracks in TrackShop and PROTracks acknowledge and agree that MelodyTracks may also be created from any of their Tracks that are submitted to Songsinc (see MelodyTrack Terms and Conditions for more information about how MelodyTracks work). For the purpose of clarification, a MelodyWriter may download an IndieTrack and/or a PROTrack from TrackShop for the sole purpose of adding a Melody. The MelodyWriter may return the Melody to Songsinc for "vaulting" and acceptance as a new MelodyTrack. If accepted by Songsinc as a new MelodyTrack, the MelodyTrack will be added to TrackShop as a MelodyTrack whereby it shall be available for download and use by Lyricists. In such instances, the TrackOwner and the MelodyWriter will share in fees and splits of the new MelodyTrack as further detailed in the MelodyTrack Terms and Conditions.

Part Two, SECTION 2

Song Copyright, Publishing Splits, Credits & Rights

Writer Share
Members agree that Songwriter is a collaborating co-writer with TrackOwner (and all of the writers, if any, of TrackOwner’s original Track), with Songwriter and TrackOwner sharing in the Writer Share in any Song created using the original downloaded Track so that Songwriter shall receive 80% share of the Writer Share and TrackOwner shall receive the remaining 20% share of the Writer Share thereof. This split agreement shall follow the life of the Song throughout the Territory.

Publisher Share
Members agree that TrackOwner owns 20% share of the Publisher Share which corresponds to TrackOwner's 20% share of the Writer Share and Songwriter owns the remaining 80% share of the Publisher Share in the Song created, in perpetuity from creation, throughout the Territory.

Copyright
Members agree that, upon creation of a Song, TrackOwner shall own 20% and Songwriter shall own 80%, of all copyright interest throughout the Territory and in perpetuity, of such Song.

Administration
While the splits for Publisher Share, Writer Share and copyright shares in a Song shall remain unchanged as among the TrackOwner and Songwriter for the life of the Song, the so-called "administration rights" in a Song shall be given to the Songwriter for that Song. As mentioned above, administration rights mean the rights to control the Song, including how it is licensed and exploited.

In that connection, Members agree that all (100%) worldwide administration rights in the Song shall be controlled entirely by the Songwriter who shall have the exclusive and sole right to control how the Song is used and collect all royalties from the exploitation of the Song (but excluding TrackOwner's portion of performance royalties which are paid directly by PROs), provided that Songwriter shall at all times be obligated to the TrackOwner for the life of the Song as provided hereunder (including affording appropriate regarding credits and rendering payment of royalties as set forth in this Agreement).

In that connection, upon delivery of the signed Vault Letter (10(c) above), Songsinc will provide Songwriter with the proper credits and all legal information to ensure appropriate and correct filing and copyright information on behalf of the TrackOwner.

Applies To Mixed Song
For the avoidance of doubt, the ownership and rights set out in this Section 2(a) above extend and apply to the Mixed Song (the new lyrics and melody together with the Track). In other words, the ownership and rights of the TrackOwner and Songwriter remain the same regardless of whether the Song exists on its own or together with the Track in the form of a Mixed Song. Further, it is expressly understood that the foregoing also applies to any Mixed Song Master (i.e. the recording of the Mixed Song), with these rights to the Mixed Song Master explained further in Section 4 herein below.

2(a) Publishing Agreements
TrackOwner understands that Songwriter controls 100% of the worldwide administration rights in the Song and is therefore entitled to enter into and execute any publishing agreements freely on behalf of the Song for their portion of publishing. For the avoidance of doubt, TrackOwner agrees that he or she shall not object to or attempt to obstruct execution of any publishing agreement and will abide by the ultimate decision of Songwriter as to the disposition of the Song. TrackOwner shall retain his respective percentage of the Writer Share and Publisher Share, as more fully set forth in Section 2(a) above and 4.

2(b) Copyright Filing
Songwriter may file appropriate copyright registrations for a Song. For avoidance of doubt, only the new Melody & Lyric can be copyrighted. Songwriter agrees no date of copyright may precede the Songsinc Vault Date, as the Vault Date is a condition to a Songwriter's ability to make any such filings. As indicated in the Vault Date Letter confirming the Vault Date for the Song, Songwriter shall contact Songsinc prior to making such filing and follow the terms in the Vault Date Letter or any other supplemental documents (including emails) provided by Songsinc pertaining to copyright registration. In any and all events, Songwriter must provide true and accurate information to the copyright office in regards to the authorship of TrackOwner and the copyright ownership of the TrackOwner for the Song to be registered.

2(c) PRO Filing
Performing Rights Organizations (sometimes each referred to herein as a "PRO") license the right to publicly perform songs on behalf of its member-writers and member-publishers. Further, the PRO collects and pays performance royalties directly to each member-writer and member-publisher of a song that is registered with that PRO.

In that connection, the TrackOwner shall have the right to register its share of each Song with the appropriate PRO with which the TrackOwner is affiliated. This will result in the TrackOwner collecting its 20% Publisher Share and 20% Writer Share of performance royalties that may be payable in respect of the public performance of any Songs. TrackOwner and Songwriter shall cooperate with each other in connection with any such registration.

Further, Songwriter shall have the right to register its share of each Song with its affiliate PRO, provided, however, that such registration shall not occur prior to the Songsinc Vault Date, as the Vault Date is a condition to Songwriter's ability to make any such filings, and Songwriter shall follow the terms in the Vault Date Letter or any other supplemental documents (including emails) provided by Songsinc pertaining to PRO registration. In any and all events, Songwriter must provide true and accurate information to the applicable PRO in regards to TrackOwner’s Writer Share and Publisher Share in respect of the Song to be registered.

2(d) Transfer of Shares

After Vault Dating, Songwriter and TrackOwner each have the right to transfer their shares in the Song, subject to the transferee's expressed agreement to discharge any and all obligations to Songsinc and/or Songwriter in respect of their rights herein.

Part Two, SECTION 3

Mixed Song Master Ownership

3(a) Mixed Song Master Ownership
Any newly created Mixed Song Master (a recording of the Mixed Song), shall be deemed controlled (100%) by the Songwriter. TrackOwner understands and agrees that he or she will relinquish control in the Mixed Song Master to the Songwriter. In that connection, Songwriter shall control 100% of the Mixed Song Master and shall have the right to freely use the Mixed Song Master for any purpose, including the license and exploitation thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Songwriter shall have no right to use the Track separate and apart from Mixed Song or Mixed Song Master in which the Track is embodied.

Songwriter understands and agrees that TrackOwner shall retain 20% share of the Writer Share and 20% Publishing Share of the Song and 50% Share in the New Mixed Song and Songwriter will have administration rights as to 100% of the Song and/or Mixed Song, and, accordingly, all such parties shall be afforded writer credit wherever required. Songwriter understands that he or she will only have rights to the complete recording of the Mixed Song (that is, the complete Mixed Song Master) and no rights to the recorded instrumental Songsinc Track apart from that.

In the event that Songsinc has advanced the cost of recording any Mixed Song Master, Songwriter must also reimburse Songsinc all such costs in full as a condition to an effective grant of administration rights to the Songwriter. For the avoidance of doubt, Songsinc shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any advance payments to any Member in respect of recording costs or otherwise, but will control the Mixed Song Master until such advance is recouped.

Part Two, SECTION 4

Payments, Royalty Collections And Clarification of Splits

4(a) Download Fee
Songsinc agrees to pay TrackOwner 40% of its Gross Receipts from the applicable Royalty Download Fee for any Track belonging to that particular TrackOwner. TrackOwner's share of Gross Receipts as provided herein shall be referred to as "Songsinc Royalties". TrackOwner will receive semi-annual Songsinc Royalty statements and Songsinc Royalty checks, due to be mailed 45 days after the close of each half-year. The semi-annual closing date will be June 30 and December 31. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if the total accrued Songsinc Royalties due at the close of the first semi-annual period ending June 30 are less than US$100.00, the total accrued Songsinc Royalties for such period will be carried over to the second semi-annual period ending December 31, and paid out, together with Songsinc Royalties from the second semi-annual period, 30 days after December 31.

4(b) Clarification of Splits For Songs
Conditioned upon Member’s full and faithful performance of all of the terms and provisions herein, the following are the splits for Songwriter and TrackOwner for every Song, whether, by itself, integrated into a Track (Mixed Song) or integrated into a different instrumental track. This split agreement follows the life of the Song throughout the Territory.

Writer, Publisher, Copyright Ownership (Totals 100%)

WHO	Writer Share	Publisher Share	Copyright
Songwriter	80%	80%	80%
TrackOwner	20%	20%	20%

4(c) Collection and Payment of Outside Royalties
"Outside Royalties" are gross monies that Songwriter receives from all exploitations of the Song. Outside Royalties include, without limitation, mechanical royalties, synchronization royalties, performance royalties and print royalties. These are different than Songsinc Royalties described in Section 4(a) above associated with transactions occurring via the Website. Songwriter agrees to pay to TrackOwner their respective shares (set forth in the table below under "Share of Outside Royalties"), of all Outside Royalties received by Songwriter and Songwriter shall retain its share, also set forth below, for its own account. Songwriter shall use its best efforts to direct any and all third parties otherwise paying Outside Royalties to Songwriter to render such payments directly to Songsinc on behalf of the TrackOwner in accordance with the terms hereof. Payments shall be made on a semi-annual basis, due to be mailed 30 days after the close of each half-year. The semi-annual closing date will be June 30 and December 31. Songwriter shall collect TrackOwner's share of all monies on behalf of TrackOwner except for performance royalties to the extent such royalties are payable directly to TrackOwner by the applicable Performing Rights Organization. Accordingly, Songwriter shall pay TrackOwner's share of Outside Royalties directly to Songsinc on behalf of the TrackOwner (so that Songwriter pays a total of 20% of all Outside Royalties) within thirty (30) days of receipt by Songwriter of such monies Songsinc shall account to TrackOwner for its 20% share of Outside Royalties at the same time and manner as it accounts to TrackOwner for Songsinc Royalties under Section 4(a) above.

Share of Outside Royalties

WHO	Outside Royalties
Songwriter	80%
TrackOwner	20% *

* TrackOwner's share paid to and collected by Songsinc, except for performance royalties paid directly to TrackOwner by applicable PRO.

Mechanical Royalty Advance Option
To simplify payment and accounting for certain mechanical royalties, Songsinc may provide Songwriter with the option to render an advance payment of mechanical royalties otherwise payable to Songsinc and TrackOwner for certain reproductions of certain number of copies or units of phonorecords (i.e. CDs, ringtones, Digital downloads) embodying the Song. Such option is only available in those instances where phonorecords shall be exploited solely and directly by Songwriter, including SongShop Sales occurring via the Website as described under Section 9 below. For clarification, exploitation via CD Baby or Tunecore or similar digital distributor whereby Songwriter shall be responsible for payment of mechanical royalties shall be permissible under such an option, whereas exploitations by a bona-fide record company or other third party whereby such third party shall be responsible for the payment of mechanical royalties shall not be permissible under such an option. Accordingly, such latter exploitations shall be subject to the terms regarding the payment of mechanical royalties as described in the first portion of this Section 4(c).

Songsinc may make such option available to Songwriter upon terms and in such a manner as Songsinc may determine in its sole discretion. In the event that Songsinc shall make such option available to Songwriter, Songsinc will post the terms (including the amount of the advance payment and number of units covered by such advance payment) in the appropriate location of the Website.

4(d) Clarification of Splits for Mixed Song Master
Conditioned upon Member’s full and faithful performance of all of the terms and provisions herein, the following are the splits for Songwriter and TrackOwner for every Mixed Song Master. This split agreement follows the life of the Mixed Song Master throughout the Territory.

WHO	New Recorded Mixed Song Master Ownership	Administration Control
Songwriter	50%	100%
TrackOwner	50%	0%

For the avoidance of doubt, Songwriter shall be obligated to make payment to TrackOwner for the exploitation of the Mixed Song Master which is separate and apart from payments (and credits) for the exploitation of the Song embodied in the Mixed Song Master. For further avoidance of doubt, Songwriter shall be able to retain 50% of any Master Use Income, and will be required to pay TrackOwner 50% of any Master Use Income earned.

End of TrackShop Terms
-----------------------------------------

Part Three
SONGSINC MELODYTRACK TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Part Three, SECTION 1

Definitions
The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Agreement:

1(a) "Track" always refers to any recorded instrumental track without a predominant melody line, owned or controlled by a TrackOwner and submitted for licensing to be made available for download and use by a MelodyWriter from the Songsinc TrackShop.

1(b) "MelodyTrack" always refers to any recorded instrumental track with a predominant melody line, owned or controlled by a TrackOwner and submitted for licensing to be made available for download and use by a Lyricist from the Songsinc TrackShop. For the avoidance of doubt, Songsinc will send a clean MelodyTrack (which does not contain the predominant melody line) for the purpose of allowing a Lyricist to create a recording of a Mixed Song Master. Accordingly, the term MelodyTrack when used in this Agreement shall mean to include such a clean MelodyTrack

1(c) “TrackOwner” may also be a MelodyWriter to the extent that TrackOwner has written and owns the copyright to the MelodyTrack (both the Track and the Melody) submitted to Songsinc and, accordingly, the term "TrackOwner" used in this section of the Agreement shall sometimes mean to include "MelodyWriter" as may be warranted by the context.

1(d) “Song” refers to a Derivative Work Song and/or an Exclusive Song.

Part Three, SECTION 2

Submission, and Ownership of MelodyTracks
2(a) TrackOwner acknowledges and agrees that MelodyTracks may also be created from any of his or her Tracks that are submitted to the Indie and PROTrack TrackShop (see TrackShop Terms and Conditions for more information about the TrackShop works). For the purpose of clarification, a MelodyWriter may download a Track from the TrackShop for the sole purpose of adding a Melody. The MelodyWriter may return the Melody to Songsinc for "vaulting" (per the terms of Section 3 below) and acceptance as a new MelodyTrack. If accepted by Songsinc as a new MelodyTrack, the MelodyTrack will be added to the MelodyTrack Vault whereby it shall be available for download and use by Lyricists. In such instances, the TrackOwner and the MelodyWriter will share in fees and splits of the new MelodyTrack as further detailed in Section 4 and subject to the other terms of this Agreement concerning TrackOwner and MelodyWriter rights and obligations. For the purposes of clarification, it is understood and agreed that the TrackOwner shall not obtain rights to the Melody that is added to TrackOwner's Track by a MelodyWriter and the MelodyWriter shall not obtain rights to the Track that the MelodyWriter uses to create the Melody.

2(b) TrackOwner will retain full ownership to their Track(s) used to create a MelodyTrack (in those instances where the Melody is combined with a Track to create the MelodyTrack) pursuant to this or any other applicable agreement. As mentioned Section 2(a) above, it is understood and agreed that TrackOwner never obtains any rights to the Melody that may be added to TrackOwner's Track by a MelodyWriter, which Melody shall be solely owned by MelodyWriter. Accordingly, only in the instance where the TrackOwner is also the MelodyWriter (i.e. owns or controls the Melody too) may TrackOwner grant similar rights to others for these MelodyTracks during and after the term of his or her TrackOwner Royalty Agreement. However, in such instances, the TrackOwner agrees to notify Songsinc via email at info@Songsinc.com of his or her intent to do so as a courtesy.

Part Three, SECTION 3

Lyricists, MelodyWriters, and Vault Dating
3(a) MelodyWriter agrees that his or her Songsinc Membership does NOT give them any rights to a TrackOwner’s Track OTHER THAN the MelodyWriter's non-transferable personal-use rights, with the express intention, agreed to by every Member, of writing a predominant, instrumental melody line within a downloaded TrackOwner Track to create a Melody and, if accepted by Songsinc, a MelodyTrack. For the avoidance of doubt, MelodyWriter only has a copyright interest in the Melody and the Songs created using the Melody, and TrackOwner only grants to MelodyWriter certain rights pursuant to the terms herein as well as the terms of the other applicable agreements, such as the TrackOwner Royalty Agreement.

3(b) Songsinc will allow a Lyricist to Submit only the Lyric (just the lyric without the underlying MelodyTrack) and submit such document of only the Lyric (and the identity of the MelodyTrack from which it was based) for the purpose of Vault Dating as further described below. If a Lyricist submits only the Lyric then later records the Mixed Song resulting in a Mixed Song Master, Lyricist agrees to forward to Songsinc a copy of the new Mixed Song Master immediately upon completion to replace the Lyric that was initially submitted. Note: All new Songs created by lyricists submitting a lyric against a MelodyTrack will be considered Derivative Work Songs unless otherwise stated.

3(c) A MelodyWriter who creates a Melody for the purpose of creating a MelodyTrack may, at the time that MelodyWriter submits the recording of the Melody (Melody Master) for Vault Dating pursuant to the terms above, designate that the newly created MelodyTrack (the Melody mixed with the Track), if accepted by Songsinc, be an Exclusive MelodyTrack.

3(d) Lyricist and MelodyWriter each understand that he or she must complete the Vault Dating process as described herein BEFORE any copyright filing or registration with any Performing Rights Organization (PRO) can be initiated by Lyricist or MelodyWriter.

3(e) TrackOwner and MelodyWriter understands and agree that they will relinquish any administration control in the Mixed Song Master to the Lyricist. In that connection, Lyricist shall control 100% of the Mixed Song Master and shall have the right to freely use the Mixed Song Master for any purpose, including the license and exploitation thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Lyricist shall have no right to use the Melody and/or Track separate and apart from Mixed Song or Mixed Song Master in which the Track and Melody is embodied.

Song created with a PRO MelodyTrack (MelodyTrack created with a PROTrack): Members agree that, upon creation of a Song, TrackOwner shall own 50% of the Copyright and Lyricist and MelodyWriter shall own the remaining 50% Copyright share, split equally (25% each), of all copyright interest throughout the Territory and in perpetuity, of such Song.

Administration
While the splits for Publisher Share, Writer Share and copyright shares in a Song shall remain unchanged as among the TrackOwner, MelodyWriter and Lyricist for the life of the Song, the so-called "administration rights" in a Song created with an Indie MelodyTrack shall be given to the Lyricist for that Song. The so-called "administration rights" in a Song created with a PRO MelodyTrack shall be shared by the Lyricist and PROTrack Owner for that Song. As mentioned above, administration rights mean the rights to control the Song, including how it is licensed and exploited.

Thus, Lyricist shall have the exclusive and sole right to control how a Song created with an Indie MelodyTrack is used, to include the collection of all royalties from the exploitation of the Song (but excluding the portion of performance royalties payable to TrackOwner and MelodyWriter which are paid directly by PROs), provided that Lyricist shall at all times be obligated to the TrackOwner and MelodyWriter for the life of the Song as provided hereunder (including affording appropriate regarding credits and rendering payment of royalties as set forth in this Agreement). They Lyricist should consult with the PRO TrackOwner before administering any Song created with a PRO MelodyTrack.

In that connection, upon delivery of the signed Vault Letter, Songsinc will provide Lyricist with the proper credits and all legal information to ensure appropriate and correct filing and copyright information on behalf of the Indie and/or PRO TrackOwner and MelodyWriter.

Applies To Mixed Song
For the avoidance of doubt, the ownership and rights set out in this Section above extend and apply to the Mixed Song (the new lyrics together with the MelodyTrack) as well. In other words, the ownership and rights of the TrackOwner, Lyricist and MelodyWriter remain the same regardless of whether the Song exists on its own or together with the Track in the form of a Mixed Song. Further, it is expressly understood that the foregoing also applies to any Mixed Song Master (i.e. the recording of the Mixed Song), with these rights to the Mixed Song Master explained further in Section 4 herein below.

4(a) Publishing Agreements
Indie TrackOwner and MelodyWriter each understand that Lyricist controls 100% of the worldwide administration rights in the new Song created with an Indie MelodyTrack and is therefore entitled to enter into and execute any publishing agreements freely on behalf of the Song. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indie TrackOwner and MelodyWriter each agree that they shall not object to or attempt to obstruct execution of any publishing agreement and will abide by the ultimate decision of Lyricist as to the disposition of the Song. Lyricist will consult the PRO TrackOwner and MelodyWriter before entering into any agreement with a Song created with a PRO MelodyTrack. TrackOwner and MelodyWriter shall each retain their respective percentage of the Writer Share and Publisher Share, as more fully set forth.

4(b) Copyright Filing
Lyricist may file appropriate copyright registrations for the new Song. Lyricist agrees no date of copyright may precede the Songsinc Vault Date, as the Vault Date is a condition to a Lyricist's ability to make any such filings. As indicated in the Vault Date Letter confirming the Vault Date for the Song, Lyricist shall contact Songsinc prior to making such filing and follow the terms in the Vault Date Letter or any other supplemental documents (including emails) provided by Songsinc pertaining to copyright registration. In any and all events, Lyricist must provide true and accurate information to the copyright office in regards to the authorship and copyright ownership of the TrackOwner and MelodyWriter for the Song to be registered.

4(c) PRO Filing
Performing Rights Organizations (sometimes each referred to herein as a "PRO") license the right to publicly perform songs on behalf of its member-writers and member-publishers. Further, the PRO collects and pays performance royalties directly to each member-writer and member-publisher of a song that is registered with that PRO.

In that connection, TrackOwner and MelodyWriter shall have the right to register their share of each Song with the appropriate PRO with which they are affiliated. Lyricist shall cooperate with any such registration.

Further, Lyricist shall have the right to register its share of each Song with its affiliate PRO, provided, however, that such registration shall not occur prior to the Songsinc Vault Date, as the Vault Date is a condition to Lyricist's ability to make any such filings, and Lyricist shall follow the terms in the Vault Date Letter or any other supplemental documents (including emails) provided by Songsinc pertaining to PRO registration. In any and all events, Lyricist must provide true and accurate information to the applicable PRO in regards to the Writer and Publisher Shares of TrackOwner and MelodyWriter in respect of the Song to be registered.

4(d) Transfer of Shares
After Vault Dating, Lyricist, TrackOwner and MelodyWriter each have the right to transfer their shares in the Song, subject to the transferee's expressed agreement to discharge any and all obligations to Songsinc, Lyricist, TrackOwner and MelodyWriter in respect of their rights herein.

Any newly created Mixed Song Master (a recording of the Mixed Song), shall be co-owned by the TrackOwner (50%), MelodyWriter (25%) and Lyricist (25%), but shall be deemed controlled (100%) by the Lyricist. TrackOwner and MelodyWriter agree Lyricist shall control 100% of the Mixed Song Master and shall have the right to freely use the Mixed Song Master for any purpose, including the license and promotional and commercial exploitation thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Lyricist shall have no right to use the Melody or TrackOwner Track separate and apart from Mixed Song or Mixed Song Master in which the MelodyTrack is embodied.

5(b) Mixed Song Master Ownership - Song created with PRO MelodyTrack
Any newly created Mixed Song Master (a recording of the Mixed Song), shall be co-owned by the TrackOwner (50%), MelodyWriter (25%) and Lyricist (25%), but shall be deemed controlled 50/50 by the Lyricist and TrackOwner, as agreed by the MelodyWriter. TrackOwner and Lyricist shall have the right to freely use the Mixed Song Master for any purpose, including the license and promotional and commercial exploitation thereof. Lyricist and MelodyWriter shall have no right to use the TrackOwner Track separate and apart from Mixed Song or Mixed Song Master in which the MelodyTrack is embodied.

In the event that Songsinc has advanced the cost of recording any Mixed Song Master, Lyricist must also reimburse Songsinc all such costs in full as a condition to an effective grant of Administration Rights to Lyricist. For the avoidance of doubt, Songsinc shall have not obligation whatsoever to make any advance payments to any Member in respect of recording costs or otherwise.

Part Three, SECTION 6

Payments, Royalty Collections And Clarification of Splits

6(a) Download Fee Royalty for MelodyTracks
Songsinc agrees to pay a % of Gross download fees to the TrackOwner and MelodyWriter each time a MelodyTrack is downloaded as follows:

TrackOwner: 20%
MelodyWriter: 20%

MelodyTrack created with a PROTrack:

The semi-annual closing date will be June 30 and December 31. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if the total accrued Songsinc Royalties due at the close of the first semi-annual period ending June 30 are less than US$100.00, the total accrued Songsinc Royalties for such period will be carried over to the second semi-annual period ending December 31, and paid out, together with Songsinc Royalties from the second semi-annual period, 30 days after December 31.

6(b) Clarification of Splits For Songs
Conditioned upon Member’s full and faithful performance of all of the terms and provisions herein, the following are the splits for Lyricist, TrackOwner and MelodyWriter for every Song, whether, by itself, integrated into a MelodyTrack (Mixed Song) or integrated into a different instrumental track. This split agreement follows the life of the Song throughout the Territory.

Writer, Publisher, Copyright Ownership (Totals 100%):

Song Created with an IndieTrack

WHO	Writer Share	Publisher Share	Copyright
Lyricist	40%	40%	40%
TrackOwner	20%	20%	20%

WHO	Writer Share	Publisher Share	Copyright
Lyricist	25%	25%	25%

6(c) Collection and Payment of Outside Royalties
"Outside Royalties" are gross monies that Lyricist receives from all exploitations of the Song . Outside Royalties include, without limitation, mechanical royalties, synchronization royalties, performance royalties and print royalties. These are different than Songsinc Royalties described in Section 6(a) above which cover the payment of fees associated with transactions occurring via the Website. Lyricist agrees to pay to TrackOwner and MelodyWriter their respective shares (set forth in the table below under "Share of Outside Royalties"), of all Outside Royalties received by Lyricist and Lyricist shall retain its share, also set forth below, for its own account. Lyricist shall use its best efforts to direct any and all third parties otherwise paying Outside Royalties to Lyricist to render such payments directly to MelodyWriter and TrackOwner in accordance with the terms hereof.

Payments shall be made on a semi-annual basis, due to be mailed 30 days after the close of each half-year. The semi-annual closing date will be June 30 and December 31. Lyricist shall collect TrackOwner and MelodyWriter’s share of all monies on behalf of each except for performance royalties to the extent such royalties are payable directly to TrackOwner and MelodyWriter by the applicable Performing Rights Organization. Accordingly, Lyricist shall pay TrackOwner and MelodyWriter’s share of Outside Royalties directly to each within thirty (30) days of receipt by Lyricist of such monies Lyricist shall account to TrackOwner and MelodyWriter for their share of Outside Royalties at the same time and manner as it accounts to TrackOwner for Songsinc Royalties under Section 6(a) above.

Share of Outside Royalties:

SONG Created with an IndieTrack

WHO	Outside Royalties
Lyricist	40%
TrackOwner	20% *
MelodyWriter	40% *

SONG Created with a PROTrack

WHO	Outside Royalties
Lyricist	25%
TrackOwner	50% *
MelodyWriter	25% *

* TrackOwner and MelodyWriter’s share paid to and collected by the Lyricist, except for performance royalties paid directly to TrackOwner and MelodyWriter by applicable PRO.

Mechanical Royalty Advance Option
To simplify payment and accounting for certain mechanical royalties, Songsinc may provide Lyricist with the option to render an advance payment of mechanical royalties otherwise payable to MelodyWriter and TrackOwner for certain reproductions of certain number of copies or units of phonorecords (i.e. CDs, ringtones, Digital downloads) embodying the Song. Such option is only available in those instances where phonorecords shall be exploited solely and directly by Lyricist, including SongShop Sales occurring via the Website as described under Section 7 below. For clarification, exploitation via CD Baby or Tunecore or similar digital distributor whereby Lyricist shall be responsible for payment of mechanical royalties shall be permissible under such an option, whereas exploitations by a bona-fide record company or other third party whereby such third party shall be responsible for the payment of mechanical royalties shall not be permissible under such an option. Accordingly, such latter exploitations shall be subject to the terms regarding the payment of mechanical royalties as described in the first portion of this Section.

Songsinc may make such option available to Lyricist upon terms and in such a manner as Songsinc may determine in its sole discretion. In the event that Songsinc shall make such option available to Lyricist, Songsinc will post the terms (including the amount of the advance payment and number of units covered by such advance payment) in the appropriate location of the Website.

6(d) Clarification of Splits for Mixed Song Master
Conditioned upon Member’s full and faithful performance of all of the terms and provisions herein, the following are the splits for Lyricist, TrackOwner and MelodyWriter for every Mixed Song Master. This split agreement follows the life of the Mixed Song Master throughout the Territory.

Mixed Song Master Rights:

Created with an IndieTrack

WHO	New Recorded Mixed Song Master Ownership	Administration Control
Lyricist	25%	100%
TrackOwner	50%	0%
MelodyWriter	25%	0%

Created with a PROTrack

WHO	New Recorded Mixed Song Master Ownership	Administration Control
Lyricist	25%	50%*
TrackOwner	50%	50%

* May relinquish to PRO TrackOwner upon written request. IMPORTANT: All Lyricists need to read the PROTrack Terms - Part Four, Section 4. PROTrack TrackOwners have greater rights to Songs, including Derivative Work Songs created with PRO MelodyTracks.

For the avoidance of doubt, Lyricist shall not have any obligation to make any payment to TrackOwner or MelodyWriter for the exploitation of the Mixed Song Master separate and apart from payments (and credits) for the exploitation of the Song embodied in the Mixed Song Master. For further avoidance of doubt:

Mixed Song Master Created with an IndieTrack: Lyricist and MelodyWriter shall be able to retain 25% each of any Master Use Income, and will be required to pay TrackOwner 50% of any Master Use Income earned.

SONGSINC PROTRACK TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Part Four, SECTION 1

General
This Agreement (including all terms and conditions contained in this Agreement) applies to any person who visits the Website, becomes a Songsinc Member, and submits Materials to, or in any manner avails themselves of, the PROTrack Service offered at, on or through, the Website and shall be in effect at all times in perpetuity, except for a specific termination of granted rights or licenses as more fully set forth herein. Note that this Agreement supplements the General Terms and Conditions, by which you acknowledge and confirm that you are bound in addition to all of the provisions of this Agreement. Unless specifically stated otherwise, in the event that any provisions of this Agreement conflict with the provisions of the General Terms and Conditions, then this Agreement shall govern with respect to solely those conflicting provisions. This Agreement will extend to encompass any individual or group, whether or not organized as a legal entity, which has contributed in any manner to any Materials you post at, on or through the Website.

Definitions
The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Agreement:

1(a) "PROTrack" always refers to any recorded instrumental musical track, containing no vocals or predominant melody line, owned by a professional music industry Publisher, Producer, Label, Songwriter, and/or Artist TrackOwner, submitted for licensing to be made available for download and use by a Songwriter from the Songsinc PROTracks Vault. The term “Track” will also apply to “PROTrack” within this PROTrack, Part 4 Terms and Conditions.

1(d) "Master Owner" is another name for a “TrackOwner.” The term “TrackOwner” will also apply to “Master Owner” within this PROTrack, Section 4 Terms and Conditions.

Part Four, SECTION 2

Submission And Ownership of Tracks

2(a) PROTracks may be used to create MelodyTracks.

2(b) All PROTracks available to Members are bound by United States Copyright Law, as amended, and any International treaties to which the United States is a party. PROTrack TrackOwners grant permission to Songsinc to offer these Tracks for use pursuant to all Songsinc’s terms and conditions and agreements pertinent to Members, as detailed in this Section 2.

2(c) Members agree to the current PROTrack Download Fee. Members acknowledge and agree that the PROTrack Download Fee is subject to change at anytime by Songsinc. A percentage of the PROTrack Download Fee is paid directly to the Master Owner for use and license of their Track, as further outlined in Section 8(a).

Part Four, SECTION 3

Song Copyright, Publishing Splits, Credits & Rights

3(a) Publishing Splits, Copyright and Administration Rights
In the songwriting and music publishing industry, sometimes interest in a song will be divided equally into what is referred to as the "Writer Share" and "Publisher Share". Generally, the person who holds a Writer Share in a song will be entitled to credit as a Songwriter and to be paid royalties from exploitation of that song. In addition, generally speaking, the person or entity that holds a Publisher Share in that same song will be entitled to a few things - it shall receive and collect all royalties (including the portion of royalties to be paid to the Songwriter for his or her Writer Share), hold the copyright interest in the song, and control the song as the "administrator" or holder of all "administration rights" (i.e. controlling how it is used and licensed). Of course, there can be more than one party holding the Writer Share and more than one party holding the Publisher Share.

Writer Share
Members agree that Songwriter is a collaborating co-writer with the writers of the composition or Original Song the Track comes from, with Songwriter and said Original Writers sharing in the Writer Share in any Song created using the original downloaded Track so that Songwriter shall receive 50% share of the Writer Share and Each Original Writer shall receive an equal share of the remaining 50% share of the Writer Share thereof. This split agreement shall follow the life of the Song throughout the Territory.

Publisher Share
Members agree that Member Songwriter owns 50% share of the Publisher Share of every New Song created with a PROTrack, with the TrackOwner owning 50% of the Publisher Share in the Song created with a PROTrack, in perpetuity from creation, throughout the Territory.

Copyright
Members agree that, upon creation of a New Song created with a PROTrack, Member Songwriter shall own 50%, and the TrackOwner of the PRO Track shall own 50% of all copyright interest throughout the Territory and in perpetuity, of such Song.

Applies To Mixed Song
For the avoidance of doubt, the ownership and rights set out in this Section 3 extend and apply to the Mixed Song (the new lyrics and melody together with the Track, which is considered a sample). In other words, the ownership and rights of the TrackOwner and Member Songwriter remain the same regardless of whether the Song exists on its own or together with the PROTrack in the form of a Mixed Song. Further, it is expressly understood that the foregoing also applies to any Mixed Song Master (i.e. the recording of the Mixed Song), with these rights to the Mixed Song Master explained further below.

3(b) Publishing Agreements
Songwriter agrees to advise Songsinc (who administers on behalf of the TrackOwner) before entering into and executing any publishing or placement agreements on behalf of the Song. Songwriter will not attempt to obstruct execution of any publishing or placement agreement by the TrackOwner should the TrackOwner choose to work the song, and will abide by the ultimate decision of a TrackOwner as to the disposition of the Song.

3(c) Copyright Filing
Songwriter may file appropriate copyright registrations for a Song (Melody & Lyric only) once Songsinc has confirmed the filing information is correct. Songwriter also agrees no date of copyright may precede the Songsinc Vault Date, as the Vault Date and then Songsinc's confirmation is a condition to a Songwriter's ability to make any such filings. As indicated in the Vault Date Letter confirming the Vault Date for the Song, Songwriter shall contact Songsinc prior to making such filing and follow the terms in the Vault Date Letter or any other supplemental documents (including emails) provided by Songsinc pertaining to copyright registration. In any and all events, Songwriter must provide true and accurate information to the copyright office in regards to the authorship and copyright ownership of the TrackOwner for the Song to be registered, which is why Songsinc (administering on behalf of the TrackOwner) must confirm the filing information is correct.

3(d) PRO Filing
Performing Rights Organizations (sometimes each referred to herein as a "PRO") license the right to publicly perform songs on behalf of its member-writers and member-publishers. Further, the PRO collects and pays performance royalties directly to each member-writer and member-publisher of a song that is registered with that PRO.

In that connection, the TrackOwner shall have the right to register its share of each Song with the appropriate PRO with which the TrackOwner is affiliated. This will result in the TrackOwner collecting its 50% Publisher Share and the TrackOwner Writer collection 50% of his/her Writer Share, and the Songwriter collecting its 50% Publisher and Writer Share of performance royalties that may be payable in respect of the public performance of any Songs. TrackOwner and Songwriter shall cooperate with each other in connection with any such registration. To clarify, a TrackOwner Writer is the Original Songwriter of the Original Song any TrackOwner Track comes from.

Further, Songwriter shall have the right to register its share of each Song with its affiliate PRO (50% Publisher Share and 50% Writer Share), provided, however, that such registration shall not occur prior to the Songsinc Vault Date, as the Vault Date is a condition to Songwriter's ability to make any such filings, and Songwriter shall follow the terms in the Vault Date Letter or any other supplemental documents (including emails) provided by Songsinc and/or the TrackOwner pertaining to PRO registration. In any and all events, Songwriter must provide true and accurate information to the applicable PRO in regards to the Writer Share of TrackOwner Writer and Publisher Share of TrackOwner in respect of the Song to be registered.

3(e) Transfer of Shares

After Vault Dating, Songwriter and TrackOwner each have the right to transfer their shares in the Song, subject to the transferee's expressed agreement to discharge any and all obligations to Songsinc, TrackOwner and Songwriter in respect of their rights herein.

Part Four, SECTION 4

Mixed Song Master Ownership; Administration Rights

4(a) Mixed Song Master Ownership
Any newly created Mixed Song Master (a recording of the Mixed Song), shall be deemed equally co-owned and controlled (50/50) by the original TrackOwner and Songwriter. Note: A PRO TrackOwner has the right to ask for 100% administration control of the Mixed Song Master after the Vault Date of that Mixed Song Master. Songsinc will be responsible to notify the Songwriter in writing of the TrackOwner’s desire to control the master, but until such time, Songwriter shall have the right to freely use the Mixed Song Master for any purpose, including the license and promotional and commercial exploitation thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Songwriter shall have no right to use the TrackOwner Track separate and apart from Mixed Song or Mixed Song Master in which the PROTrack is embodied.

4(b) Commercial Exploitation of the New Mixed Song Master
TrackOwner agrees to allow Songwriter to commercially exploit the new Mixed Song Master on digital outlets as (but not limited to) CD Baby, Tunecore, iTunes and Earbuzz under the supervision of Songsinc who is the administrator for the PRO TrackOwners for all new songs created with a PROTrack. Songwriter agrees to inform Songsinc of any and all commercial exploitation for the Mixed Song Master before the release date of any such exploitation, and agrees to adhere to all filing instructions as provided by Songsinc to the Songwriter. Songsinc can manage any commercial exploitation for the Songwriter for an additional administration fee to be agreed upon by Songsinc and the Songwriter, should the Songwriter request same.

Songwriter will share Master Ownership of the New Mixed Song Master with the PRO Master Owner (50/50 split). For avoidance of doubt, this means any and all master use income earned from that master sound recording will be shared equally between Songwriter and the PROTrack TrackOwner. No permissions are required for Songwriter to exploit a New Mixed Song Master, however – and again stated herein - Songwriter must advise Songsinc of all commercial exploitation and adhere to any filing instructions provided by Songsinc for such exploitation. Songwriter understands that he or she will only have rights to the completed recording of the new Mixed Song (that is, the complete mixed song master) and no rights to the recorded PROTrack apart from that, and as detailed above, must afford proper credit where required.

Part Four, SECTION 5

Conditioned upon Member’s full and faithful performance of all of the terms and provisions herein, the following are the splits for Songwriter, TrackOwner and TrackOwner Writer(s) for every Song, whether, by itself, integrated into a Track (Mixed Song) or integrated into a different instrumental track. This split agreement follows the life of the Song throughout the Territory.
