GUARANTEE
LICENSEE guarantees that it owns and controls the rights represented herein with respect to the recordings and the musical compositions in each of the REPRESENTED TRACKS and has and will hold throughout the TERRITORY and during the DURATION the above listed rights to exploit the REPRESENTED TRACKS as contemplated herein. LICENSOR shall indemnify and hold the LICENSEE harmless from any and all claims, liabilities and costs, losses, damages or expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising out of any breach or failure of any covenants or warranties made by the LICENSOR herein.
GENERAL TERMS
The mechanical, synchronization, and performance rights granted to the LICENSEE within the AGREEMENT include (1) right to re-record, duplicate and release the REPRESENTED TRACKS as part of a production in whatever medium(s) necessary (i.e. video tape, film, CD-ROM, DVD). If the music is used in software such as a video game application or other software product, the music must be “embedded” so that the end user of the software or video game is unable to extract or use the music on its own; (2) right to use the music as a soundtrack “synced” with visual images as part of a production; and (3) right to use the music as part of the public viewing or broadcast of a production (including but not limited to TV shows, videos, DVDs, Web Sites, podcasts, multimedia presentations, and films).
RIGHTS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT

The LICENSOR maintains all intellectual property rights with regard to the marketing and sales of all tracks and any infringement thereof is punishable by law.
TERRITORY
