BANDMEMBER AGREEMENT
This Bandmember Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of June 1, 2023 (the "Effective Date") by and between Dennis Bandleader, an individual whose address is [] ("Bandleader"), and Mark Bandmember, an individual whose address is c/o [Bandmember's Attorney] ("Bandmember"), concerning the musical group by the name Awesome Band ("Awesome Band"). Anticipated Partnership Agreement. Bandleader and Bandmember intend to enter into a written partnership agreement regarding Awesome Band if Awesome Band becomes a viable entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Bandleader and Bandmember (and, potentially, others) enter into such partnership agreement, that partnership will vest control of, and ownership interests in, Awesome Band, though with more formality, in essentially the same manner as set forth in this Agreement. Unless and until such written partnership agreement is executed, however, as between Bandleader and Bandmember, this Agreement will govern their relationship regarding Awesome Band. Activities. Description. During the Term, Bandleader and Bandmember will each perform as musicians and performers in the creation, production, exploitation, performance and exhibition of, without limitation, phonograph records, television programs, motion pictures, theatrical productions, live personal appearances, concerts, tours, radio programs and other related artistic or creative aspects of the entertainment industry related to the entertainment industry business of Awesome Band.
Exclusivity. During the Term, Bandleader and Bandmember will each perform as specified in Section2.1, at such places throughout the world, and at such times and in such a manner, as specified from time to time by Bandleader, in his reasonable discretion. Bandleader and Bandmember each will render such services solely and exclusively for Awesome Band, and not for any Third Party without the prior written consent of one another.
Exception To Exclusivity. Notwithstanding Section2.2, Bandleader and Bandmember will each have the right to perform as a so-called "sideman" for the purpose of making master recordings which do not embody performances of either Bandleader or Bandmember as a featured artist; provided, however, that: (i)such activity does not interrupt, delay or interfere with performance by Bandleader or Bandmember, respectively, of the obligations set forth in this Agreement, or any other written agreement or other obligation to which Bandleader and/or Bandmember may be a party; and (ii)Bandleader or Bandmember, respectively, consult with one another prior to obligating themselves to render, or actually rendering, any such services. Compensation. Bandmember Share Payable During The Term. In consideration of the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, during the Term, Bandmember will
receive the Bandmember Share, as determined from time to time in accordance with this Section 3.1.
From the Effective Date through the date of any change in the Bandmember Share pursuant to this Section 3.1, the Bandmember Share will be fifty percent (50%) of Awesome Band Net Profits.
Post Termination Bandmember Share. In consideration of the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, following expiration or termination of this Agreement, for any reason whatsoever, Bandmember will receive the Post Termination Bandmember Share.
Advances. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2, upon receipt by Bandleader from a Third Party during the Term of any so-called "advance" payable regarding Awesome Band under any written agreement with such Third Party (e.g., the Recording Agreement, a merchandising agreement, a publishing agreement, etc.) Bandleader will pay to Bandmember a percentage of such advance equal to the Bandmember Share as of the date upon which such advance is paid, which sum will be an advance to Bandmember, recoupable from any and all monies payable to Bandmember under this Agreement.
Payments Conditioned Upon Performance. Except to the extent otherwise stated in this Agreement, any and all payments to Bandmember pursuant to this Agreement are expressly conditioned on full performance by Bandmember of all of the material covenants, representations and warranties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bandleader acknowledges and agrees that Bandmember has already fully performed with respect to masters to be delivered under the Recording Agreement.
No Other Rights. Bandmember will not be entitled to any royalties, sums or payments of any nature in respect of the services rendered under this Agreement, or the rights granted in this Agreement, except as expressly and unambiguously provided for in this Agreement.
Deduction For Withholding. Bandleader will have the right to deduct and withhold from any sum payable to Bandmember under this Agreement the amounts required to be deducted and withheld by Bandleader under the provisions of any statute, regulation, ordinance or order, whether now or hereafter in effect, requiring the deduction or withholding of compensation. Payment And Statements. Direct Payments. It is anticipated that Bandmember will be a signatory to certain written agreements executed regarding Awesome Band during the term of this Agreement (e.g., the Recording Agreement), and that, consequently, Bandmember will be directly obligated under those written agreements, and have the right to receive certain payments to which he is entitled pursuant to this Agreement directly from the Third Parties executing those written agreements.
Reconciliation.
Accountants retained by Bandleader will, from time to time, prepare a reconciliation of sums due to Bandmember under this Agreement, with sums actually received by Bandmember, including under those certain written agreements executed by Bandleader, and Bandmember, during the term of this Agreement. In connection with each such reconciliation, Bandleader will send to Bandmember a written statement showing the results of such reconciliation.
If any reconciliation prepared and provided to Bandmember pursuant to Section 4.2.1 evidences that Bandmember is owed monies under this Agreement in addition to those monies received by Bandmember under those certain written agreements executed with Third Parties during the term of this Agreement, Bandleader will pay to Bandmember, concurrently with the statement provided to Bandmember in connection with such reconciliation, the total sum due Bandmember pursuant to such reconciliation and statement, along with interest on such sum at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the date upon which that sum should have been paid to Bandmember.
Involvement Of Third Parties. Bandmember understands and agrees that, in rendering statements to Bandmember under this Agreement, Bandleader may be relying on statements or other documentation provided to Bandleader by Third Parties under the written agreements referenced in Section 4.1. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the statements which Bandleader renders to Bandmember pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed accurate (as between Bandleader and Bandmember only), and Bandmember will have no right to object thereto, if such statements are accurate based on the information provided to Bandleader by such Third Parties. Notwithstanding Section4.1, if Bandleader enters into any written agreement as to which Bandmember is entitled to payment under this Agreement, but which Bandmember does not himself sign, Bandleader will reasonably endeavor to cause the Third Party (or Third Parties) at issue to account to Bandmember directly in respect of monies payable to Bandmember under this Agreement; provided, however, that any failure of Bandleader in this regard will not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
Limited Audit Right. Except as may be provided under any written agreement with a Third Party (e.g., the Recording Agreement, a merchandising agreement, a publishing agreement, etc.), Bandmember will not have any right to, and will not, audit or attempt to audit the books or records of any Third Party.
Notwithstanding Section 4.4.1, Bandmember will have the right, at his sole cost and expense, to have a qualified representative with entertainment industry experience examine royalty and other statements sent to Bandleader by any Third Party, but solely: (i) with respect to monies payable in part to Bandmember pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) during normal business hours, upon reasonable written notice to Bandleader within twenty four (24) months after the date rendered. Bandleader will have no obligation to permit Bandmember to examine any such particular royalty or other statement more than once.
The rights granted to Bandmember in this Section4.4 will constitute the sole and exclusive right available to Bandmember to examine the books and records of Bandleader and/or Third Parties.
Limitation On Right To Object. Each statement or other reconciliation or accounting which Bandleader renders to Bandmember pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed rendered when due, unless Bandmember provides Bandleader with written notice to the contrary within twenty four (24) months after the date due as specified in this Agreement. Unless Bandmember provides Bandleader with express and unambiguous written notice of objection to any statement or other written reconciliation or accounting within twenty four (24) months after the date upon which such statement was rendered, such statement or other reconciliation or accounting will be: (i)not subject to any objection whatsoever; (ii)deemed to have been consented to by Bandmember; (iii)conclusive, final and binding; and (iv)an account stated. Bandmember will have no right to, and will not, maintain or attempt to maintain any action, suit or proceeding of any nature in respect of any statement or other reconciliation or accounting which Bandleader renders to Bandmember under this Agreement, unless such action, suit or proceeding is commenced against Bandleader in a court of competent jurisdiction within twelve (12) months after receipt by Bandleader of the written objection referenced in the preceding sentence. Business and Artistic Control. Voting System of Control. The artistic and business decisions of Awesome Band will be governed by a majority vote of the members thereof, based upon a number of "votes" out of one hundred (100) total "votes" relative to such artistic and business decisions, as set forth in this Section 5.
Initial Voting Power. As of the Effective Date, and through the date, if any, upon which the Bandmember Share is reduced below forty-nine percent (49%), Bandleader will have fifty one (51) "votes", and Bandmember will have forty nine (49) "votes," out of one hundred (100) "votes" as to artistic and business decisions of Awesome Band.
Changes in Voting Power. Bandleader will have the right to reduce the number of "votes" which Bandmember has regarding the artistic and business decisions of Awesome Band, effective upon written notice to Bandmember, provided, however, that: (i) Bandleader will only so reduce such number of "votes" for the purposes of granting to another Awesome Band band member those votes, in number which will not be greater than a concurrently granted percentage financial interest to such band member of Awesome Band Net Profits, as opposed to, for example, shifting additional "votes" to Bandleader (or any Third Party), or shifting a disproportionate number of "votes" to a new band member; and (ii) in no event will the number of "votes" which Bandmember has be reduced to less than twenty (20). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsequent to the Term, Bandmember will no longer have any "votes" relative to either business or artistic decisions of Awesome Band.
Compliance With Direction. Notwithstanding the remainder of this Section 5, during the Term, Bandleader and Bandmember will each promptly and faithfully comply with all reasonable instructions, directions, requests, rules and regulations made or issued by Bandleader
in connection with this Agreement, and will perform under this Agreement conscientiously and to the best of their respective abilities at all times, as instructed by Bandleader in all matters. Grant Of Rights. Acknowledgment Of Works Made For Hire. Bandleader and Bandmember will agree on a Composition by Composition basis as to ownership, as between themselves, of Compositions; provided, however, that in the event of a failure to agree, each of Bandleader and Bandmember will own an undivided fifty percent (50%) interest in such Compositions as to which there is a failure to agree. Except with respect to Compositions, and as may be otherwise expressly and unambiguously set forth in this Agreement, the results and proceeds of all services performed by Bandmember under this Agreement, including all master recordings recorded or produced by Awesome Band, and all performances (visual and non-visual) rendered by Awesome Band in any and all media, from the inception of the recording or performance thereof, and all copyrights therein and thereto, will be entirely the property of Bandleader, free of any claims whatsoever by Bandmember or any Third Party. Accordingly, Bandleader or his designee will have the sole and exclusive right to copyright such master recordings, performances and reproductions in his name, as the owner and author thereof, and to secure any and all renewals and extensions of such copyrights (it being understood that for all such purposes Bandmember and all Third Parties rendering services in connection with any such recordings, performances or reproductions will, for purposes of the United States Copyright Act, be employees for hire of Bandleader).
Assignment Of Works Deemed Not Made For Hire. This Agreement will operate as an irrevocable grant, transfer, sale and assignment to Bandleader of all of right, title and interest, including all undivided copyrights (and all renewals and extensions thereof) and other proprietary rights, throughout the universe in all languages and in all media and forms of expression and communication now known or later developed, if: (i)any portion of any work described in Section6.1 is not a work made for hire; and/or (ii)there are any rights in or to any portion of any work described in Section6.1 which do not accrue to Bandleader under Section6.1. The provisions of this Section6.2 will be effective as to each such work as of the moment such item is fixed in a tangible medium, whether or not such item is complete. Accordingly, Bandleader will own all works in progress. Bandmember will, upon request, execute and deliver to Bandleader all assignments of copyright in and to such works as Bandleader deems reasonably necessary, and Bandmember hereby irrevocably appoints Bandleader as attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing such assignments in the name of Bandmember if Bandmember does not execute any such assignments within a reasonable time after request by Bandleader therefor.
Right To Exploit. Except as required by the Recording Agreement, Bandleader will have the worldwide right, in perpetuity and on such terms and conditions as Bandleader approves, in his sole discretion, to manufacture, sell, distribute, advertise, release, lease, license, publicly perform or permit the public performance of via radio, television or any other method now existing or hereafter devised, convey or otherwise use or dispose of phonograph records, videos, motion pictures, other productions (visual and non-visual), under any trademarks, trade names or labels, embodying the performances of Bandleader and/or Bandmember under this
Agreement, including the right to permit any Third Party to do any or all of the foregoing, and to refrain from doing any or all of the foregoing.
Right In Likeness Of Bandmember. Bandleader will have the worldwide right, in perpetuity and on such terms and conditions as Bandleader approves, in his sole discretion, to use and display the name, voice and approved likeness of Bandmember, as well as other identification and biographical material concerning Bandmember, for advertising, commercial, trade or publicity purposes, without restriction in connection with the services performed by Bandmember under this Agreement and in connection with products, services and merchandise licensed or otherwise exploited relative to Awesome Band. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 6.4 will be exclusive during the Term and non-exclusive after the Term. Bandmember will have the right to approve likenesses, in his reasonable discretion; provided, however, that Bandmember will be deemed to have approved: (i)all such likenesses if Bandmember fails to provide Bandleader with written notice, including specific objections, within three (3) business days after such likenesses are submitted to Bandmember for inspection; and (ii)all likenesses submitted by Bandmember to Bandleader.
Right In The Name "Awesome Band". As between Bandleader and Bandmember, Bandleader will be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the name "Awesome Band" and to any other any professional or group name utilized by the group currently known as "Awesome Band" at any time. Bandmember will not at any time challenge the rights of Bandleader in and to the name "Awesome Band," or any such other name. Warranties. Ability To Perform.
