Any performance or publishing royalties generated from the underlying composition belong solely to the Producer under this non-exclusive license.

Exclusive License (Separate Agreement Only)

Only under an Exclusive License may the Licensee be eligible to collect royalties.
Royalty splits under an Exclusive License will be determined separately and may include arrangements such as 50/50 or 80/20, depending on the agreement.
PRO registration and songwriter/publishing splits are not permitted unless explicitly stated in a written Exclusive License Agreement signed by the Producer.
