__________________________________________________________________________________

Below are the requirements that you must follow prior to recording, manufacturing, or distributing your album:

You may not do any of the following without prior written permission:

- Change, alter, delete, or insert new lyrics into the composition.

- Change or alter the fundamental character or basic melody of the composition.

- Create a medley (combination of other tunes tied to the composition(s) being licensed).

- Create a derivative work or sample any portion of a Jimi Hendrix composition.

- Hold reserves for returns.

- Print lyrics on the release or in the liner notes or CD booklet.

- Use the name of Jimi Hendrix or his work as the title of the release or on the cover of the release.

- Use a photo, drawing, or any image that depicts Jimi Hendrix on or in any part of the release.

- Use downloading or streaming on the Internet to sell your CD. Internet sales must be domestic only unless an international license has been obtained separately from Universal Music Publishing, who issues foreign licenses.

The current statutory mechanical royalty rate is $0.091 per song, per unit for songs less than 5 minutes and $0.0175 per minute or fraction thereof, for songs over 5 minutes.

For initial release of 2500 units or less, a non-returnable advance royalty is due upon execution of the license. There is a 500 unit minimum.

You shall pay royalties at the current statutory rate and account to us quarterly, within forty-five days after the end of each quarter, on the basis of all phonorecords made and/or distributed, regardless of royalty advance.

If the royalty amount is less than $25.00 dollars carry the balance forward to the next statement. Quarterly statements must still be submitted. All balances due at the end of the calendar year must be paid in full, regardless of the amount. If payments are not received by the due date, you will incur an interest charge of 1.5% per month, and your company may be subject to further legal action.
