NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties, agreements and obligations herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER. Seller hereby makes the following representations, warranties, covenants and agreements:

 

(a) Schedule “A” attached hereto correctly and completely sets forth the full title, songwriters’ names and songwriters’ creative contribution shares of each of the Compositions and correctly and completely sets forth the percentage share in and to each of the musical works that comprises the Compositions that are owned by Seller (whether said ownership rights are existing, vested, contingent, expectant. or otherwise, and whether said ownership rights become available as the result of existing or future legislation, or otherwise) and are being assigned by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b) Seller is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Collective Interest in each and every Composition, including, without limitation, the title, lyrics and music thereof, and all other rights of whatsoever kind or nature therein and thereto, whether now or hereafter known, and all claims and demands accrued or to accrue with respect thereto, and the intellectual property rights, including without limitation, copyrights and renewal, extended and reversionary terms of copyright therein and thereto, and all rights to secure renewals, extensions and reversions of copyright, throughout the universe, and the right to receive and retain Seller’s entire share of royalties with respect to each and every Composition, all as set forth in and except only to the extent (if at all) expressly limited by Schedule “A”. Seller has good and marketable title to the Collective Interest in each and every Composition and no interest in the Collective Interest in any of the Compositions has been assigned, pledged, diluted or otherwise transferred or encumbered, nor has any security interest, lien, mortgage or other encumbrance been granted therein by or on behalf of Seller, to secure indebtedness or otherwise. Other than as may be expressly contained in the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto, no other person or entity has or shall have any right, title or interest in or to the Collective Interest in any of the Compositions that is inconsistent with any right hereby granted to Purchaser, and Seller has not heretofore done or permitted to be done, and shall not hereafter do or permit to be done, any act or thing that is or may be inconsistent with Purchaser’s sole and exclusive ownership of, and right to administer, any Composition, or that shall impair, curtail, dilute or derogate from any right granted to Purchaser by this Agreement.

 

(c) Within the time and in the manner prescribed by law, all federal, state and local tax returns required by law have been properly and timely filed with respect to Seller’s ownership of the Compositions and Collective Interest, and all taxes, assessments and penalties due and payable with respect to the Compositions and Collective Interest have been fully and timely paid. There is no present dispute as to any tax of any kind or nature payable with respect to the Seller, the Compositions or the Collective Interest. All federal, state, local and foreign taxes accrued or owing up to and including the Closing Date (as defined in paragraph 4 below), arising out of or in connection with the Collective Interest in the Compositions, or any of them, including, without limitation, any sales and/or transfer taxes resulting from the transaction contemplated herein, have been or shall be fully and timely paid or caused to be fully and timely paid by Seller.

 

(d) No adverse claim of any nature, kind or description currently exists and no suit, action, arbitration or legal, administrative or other proceeding, or governmental investigation is currently pending, threatened or anticipated with respect to any portion of the Collective Interest, the Compositions, or any of them, or any right or interest, including, without limitation, any of the copyrights, therein and thereto. Seller hereby warrants and represents to Purchaser that each and every Composition is original and does not infringe upon any other work or any right of any kind or nature of any third party, including any intellectual property right. Seller hereby further warrants and represents that there is no defect in title with respect to Seller’s ownership of any Composition. Seller is not a party to or bound by any judgment, order, writ, injunction, award or decree of any court, arbitrator, governmental agency or instrumentality that would prevent, condition or delay execution or performance of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and performance of this Agreement is not prohibited by and shall not violate or constitute a breach of any contract, agreement, indenture or other document to which Seller is a party or that is binding upon Seller, or any warranty, representation or covenant contained therein, and shall not violate any foreign, federal, state or local law, rule or regulation.

(e) No action has been or shall in the future be taken, permitted, facilitated or publicly endorsed by Seller, any agent or representative of Seller or by any third-party on behalf of Seller that would tend to undermine, challenge, contest, tarnish or impair the validity of any copyright in any of the Compositions, under the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq., regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, or any other statutory or common law pertaining to copyright or the Collective Interest in the Compositions, or the reputation of any Composition. No action within the reasonable control of Seller, any agent or representative of Seller or by any third-party on behalf of Seller, has failed to be taken to reasonably protect the reputation of any Composition and the validity of any any copyright in any of the Compositions, under statutory or common law of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

 

(f) Except for Seller’s publisher membership agreement(s) with BMI/SESAC/ ASCAP, executed copies of which have been tendered to Purchaser, Seller has not entered into any exclusive licensing and/or collection agreement relating to the Compositions, or any of them, including, without limitation, mechanical, performing rights or any similar agreement. Seller’s membership agreement(s) with BMI/SESAC/ASCAP was made in the ordinary course of business and contains only the usual terms and conditions and fall within parameters considered normal and customary within the music industry. By way of illustration of the aforesaid, but not by way of limitation, no such agreement or arrangement is less favorable to Seller than a standard arrangement with BMI/SESAC/ASCAP. Seller is not bound by any exclusive agreement, understanding or arrangement concerning the administration, publication, recording, distribution or other exploitation of any of the Compositions in any country of the universe, including, without limitation, the United States.

 

(g) Seller has not lost, whether by termination or amendment of any contract relating thereto or by expiration or non-renewal of any copyright therein, or disposed of any interest in any portion of the Collective Interest in any of the Compositions. Purchaser shall, by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, acquire complete legal and beneficial interest in the entire Collective Interest in each and every Composition. In addition to the rights, title and interests owned and/or controlled by Purchaser prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, acquire all rights, title and interests in and to the entire Collective Interest in each and every Composition exactly as enjoyed and possessed by Seller prior to the Closing Date. The entire Collective Interest in each and every C position is owned by Seller for the full period of copyright, including any and all extensions, renewals and/or reversionary periods in all countries of the universe and, by reason of this Agreement, Purchaser shall be vested with all such rights in their entirety, including, without limitation, the right to collect and retain for Purchaser’s own account one hundred percent (100%) of Seller’s entire publisher’s share of income and one hundred percent (100%) of Writer’s Share from each and every Composition.

 

(h) Seller has all necessary right, power, legal capacity and authority to sell, assign and transfer the entire Collective Interest in each and every Composition as provided herein and to effectuate the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the execution and delivery of any and all other documents or instruments contemplated hereby, and the performance of and compliance with all of the terms, conditions and obligations hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby; and no approval or consent of any person, firm or corporation other than Seller is or shall be necessary in connection therewith. This Agreement and each document or instrument contemplated hereby is legal, valid and binding upon Seller and is and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. Following the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly cooperate, at Purchaser’s cost and expense, in providing testimony, or in the execution of additional documents or instruments deemed necessary or useful by Purchaser, to protect or perfect Purchaser’s acquired interests in the Compositions and the Collective Interests in the Compositions.

There is no agreement pursuant to which any portion of the Collective Interest in any of the Compositions secures any loan or indebtedness of Seller or any third party. Seller hereby further warrants that there is no, and Seller shall not enter into any, agreement or commitment (including without limitation, any cross-collateralization or security agreement) that shall interfere with or encumber any of the rights or interests assigned to Purchaser in this Agreement.

(l) As of the Closing Date, Seller shall have no outstanding, unrecouped and unearned third-party advance that Seller has received in respect of any of the Compositions.

Seller hereby warrants and represents that as of the execution of this Agreement, there is no such outstanding, unrecouped and/or unearned advance.

 

(m) All conditions required of Seller under this Agreement for the effective and binding sale, assignment and transfer contemplated by this Agreement have been satisfied, including, without limitation, the obtaining of each and every consent, approval or waiver (if any), the giving of each and every notice (if any), the making of each and every filing (if any) and the satisfaction of each and every payment or claim (if any) of any third party. No third party has or shall have any right of approval, right of first negotiation, right to match an offer or right of first refusal with respect to this transaction, and all of the Compositions are freely assignable. There is no so-called “key man” clause in any agreement relating to any portion of the Collective Interest in any of the Compositions. No current or prior employee or associate of Seller has any actual or potential claim against Seller or Purchaser and/or any of the Compositions that shall in any way impair, lessen or interfere with any of the rights, interests or benefits being transferred to Purchaser hereunder.
