(a) Script Owner will prevent the Script and any arrangements, revisions, translations, novelizations, dramatizations or new versions thereof whether published or unpublished and whether copyrighted or uncopyrighted, from vesting in the public domain, and will take or cause to be taken any and all steps and proceedings required for copyright or similar protection in any and all countries in which the same may be published or offered for sale, insofar as such countries now or hereafter provide for copyright or similar protection. Any contract or agreement entered into by Script Owner authorizing or permitting the publication of the Script or any arrangements, revisions, translations, novelizations, dramatizations or new versions thereof in any country will contain appropriate provisions requiring such publisher to comply with all the provisions of this clause.

 

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Script or any arrangement, revision, translation, novelization, dramatization or new version thereof is published in the United States or in any other country in which registration is required for copyright or similar protection in accordance with the laws and regulations of such country, and Script Owner further agrees to affix or cause to be affixed to each copy of the Script or any arrangement, revision, translation, novelization, dramatization or new version thereof which is published or offered for sale such notice or notices as may be required for copyright or similar protection in any country in which such publication or sale occurs.

 

(c) At least six (6) months prior to the expiration of any copyright required by this provision for the protection of the Script, Script Owner will renew (or cause to be renewed) such copyright, as permitted by applicable law, and any and all rights granted Buyer hereunder shall be deemed granted to Buyer throughout the full period of such renewed copyright, without the payment of any additional consideration, it being agreed that the consideration payable to Script Owner under this agreement shall be deemed to include full consideration for the grant of such rights to Buyer throughout the period of such renewed copyright.

 

(d) If the Script, or any arrangement, revision, translation, novelization, dramatization or new version thereof, shall ever enter the public domain, then nothing contained in this agreement shall impair any rights or privileges that the Buyer might be entitled to as a member of the public; thus, the Buyer may exercise any and all such rights and privileges as though this agreement were not in existence. The rights granted herein by Script Owner to Buyer, and the representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements made hereunder by Script Owner shall endure in perpetuity and shall be in addition to any rights, licenses, privileges or property of Buyer referred to in this Section (d).

 

(e) All rights granted or agreed to be granted to Buyer under this Agreement shall be irrevocably vested in Buyer and shall not be subject to rescission by Script Owner or any other party for any cause, nor shall said rights be subject to termination or reversion by operation of law or otherwise, except to the extent, if any, that the provisions of any copyright law or similar law relating to the right to terminate grants of, or recapture rights in, literary property may apply. If, pursuant to any such copyright law or similar law, Script Owner or any successor or any other legally designated party (all herein referred to as "the terminating party") becomes entitled to exercise any right to reversion, recapture or termination ( the "termination right") with respect to all or any part of the rights granted or to be granted under this Agreement, and if the terminating party exercises said termination right with respect to all or part of said rights (the "recaptured rights"), then from and after the date on which the terminating party has the right to transfer to a third party all or part of the recaptured rights, Buyer shall have the first right to purchase and acquire the recaptured rights from the terminating party. If the terminating party is prepared to accept a bona fide offer from a third party with respect to all or part of the recaptured rights, then in each such instance the terminating party shall notify Buyer of such offer which the terminating party is prepared to accept and the name of the third party who made the offer to the terminating party, and the terminating party shall offer Buyer the right to enter into an agreement with the terminating party with respect to the recaptured rights on the aforesaid terms and conditions. Buyer shall have 30 days from the date of its receipt of such written offer within which to notify the terminating party of its acceptance of such offer (provided, however, the Buyer shall not be required to meet any terms or conditions which cannot be as easily met by one person as another, including, without limitation, the employment of a specified person, etc.) If Buyer shall acquire from the terminating party all or part of the recaptured rights, then the terminating party agrees to enter into appropriate written agreements with Buyer covering said acquisition. If Buyer shall elect not to purchase the recaptured rights from the terminating party, then the terminating party may dispose of said recaptured rights, but only to the aforesaid third party and only upon the terms and conditions specified in the aforesaid written notice given by the terminating party to Buyer, it being understood and agreed that the terminating party may not dispose of said recaptured rights either to: (a) any other proposed transferee; or (b) upon terms and conditions which are more favorable to any transferee than the terms and conditions previously offered to Buyer hereunder, without again offering to enter into an agreement with Buyer on: (i) the terms offered to such other transferee; or (ii) such more favorable terms and conditions offered to said proposed transferee, whichever of (a) or (b) shall apply. Any such required offer made to Buyer by the terminating party shall be governed by the procedure set forth in the preceding four sentences of this Paragraph. The unenforceability of any portion of this Paragraph shall not invalidate or affect the remaining portions of this Paragraph of this Agreement.

 

 
 

 

10. CREDIT OBLIGATIONS: Buyer shall have the right to publish, advertise, announce and use in any manner or medium, the name, biography and photographs or likenesses of Script Owner in connection with any exercise by Buyer of its rights hereunder, provided such use shall not constitute an endorsement of any product or service.

 

During the term of the Writer's Guild of America Minimum Basic Agreement ("WGA Agreement"), as it may be amended, the credit provisions of the WGA Agreement shall govern the determination of credits, if any, which the Buyer shall accord the Script Owner hereunder in connection with photoplays. If the Buyer or his assignee is not a party to said WGA Agreement, the provisions of the WGA Agreement shall no longer directly govern the determination of such credits, and when the WGA Agreement or any amendment is not effective as between the Buyer or assignee and Writer's Guild of America, such credits shall be determined with reference to the Credit rules of the WGA, with any dispute arbitrated by the American Arbitration Association.

 

Subject to the foregoing, Script Owner shall be accorded the following credit on a single card on screen and in paid ads controlled by Buyer and in which any other writer is accorded credit, and in size of type (as to height, width, thickness and boldness) equal to the largest size of type inwhich any other writer is accorded credit:

 

WRITTEN BY ANN COURTNEY/BLVD HOLDINGS INC

 

Additionally, if Buyer shall exploit any other rights in and to the Script, then Buyer agrees to give appropriate source material credit to the Script, to the extent that such source material credits are customarily given in connection with the exploitation of such rights.

 

 
 

 

No casual or inadvertent failure to comply with any of the provisions of this clause shall be deemed a breach of this agreement by the Buyer. Script Owner hereby expressly acknowledges that in the event of a failure or omission constituting a breach of the provisions of this paragraph, the damage (if any) caused Script Owner thereby is not irreparable or sufficient to entitle Script Owner to injunctive or other equitable relief. Consequently, Script Owner's rights and remedies in the event of such breach shall be limited to the right to recover damages in an action at law.

 

11. RIGHT OF FIRST NEGOTIATION: Buyer shall have a right of first negotiation on all Reserved Rights. The term "Right of First Negotiation" means that if, after the expiration of an applicable time limitation, Script Owner desires to dispose of or exercise a particular right reserved to Script Owner herein ("Reserved Right"), whether directly or indirectly, then Script Owner shall notify Buyer in writing and immediately negotiate with Buyer regarding such Reserved Right. If, after the expiration of thirty (30) days following the receipt of such notice, no agreement has been reached, then Script Owner may negotiate with third parties regarding such Reserved Right subject to Section 12 infra.

 

12. RIGHT OF LAST REFUSAL: The Buyer shall have a right of last refusal on all Reserved Rights. The term "Right of Last Refusal" means that if Buyer and Script Owner fail to reach an agreement pursuant to Buyer's right of first negotiation, and Script Owner makes and/or receives any bona fide offer to license, lease and/or purchase the particular Reserved Right or any interest therein ("Third Party Offer"), and if the proposed purchase price and other material terms of a Third Party Offer are no more favorable to Script Owner than the terms which were acceptable to Buyer during the first negotiation period, Script Owner shall notify Buyer, by registered mail or telegram, if Script Owner proposes to accept such Third Party Offer, the name of the offerer, the proposed purchase price, and other terms of such Third Party Offer. During the period of thirty (30) days after Buyer's receipt of such notice, Buyer shall have the exclusive option to license, lease and/or purchase, as the case may be, the particular Reserved Right or interest referred to in such Third Party Offer, at the same purchase price and upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in such notice. If Buyer elects to exercise thereof by registered mail or telegram within such thirty (30) day period, failing which Script Owner shall be free to accept such Third Party Offer; provided that if any such proposed license, lease and/or sale is not consummated with a third party within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, Buyer's Right of Last Refusal shall revive and shall apply to each and every further offer or offers at any time received by Script Owner relating to the particular Reserved Right or any interest therein; provided, further, that Buyer's option shall continue in full force and effect, upon all of the terms and conditions of this paragraph, so long as Script Owner retains any rights, title or interests in or to the particular Reserved Right. Buyer's Right of Last Refusal shall inure to the benefit of Buyer, its successors and assigns, and shall bind Script Owner and Script Owner's heirs, successors and assigns.

 

13. NO OBLIGATION TO PRODUCE: Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Buyer to produce, distribute, release, perform or exhibit any motion picture, television, theatrical or other production based upon, adapted from or suggested by the Script, in whole or in part, or otherwise to exercise, exploit or make any use of any rights, licenses, privileges or property granted herein to Buyer.

 

14. PUBLICITY: Script Owner will not, without Buyer's prior written consent in each instance, issue or authorize the issuance or publication of any news story or publicity relating to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the subject matter or terms hereof, or to any use by Buyer, its successors, licensees and assigns, and (iii) any of the rights granted Buyer hereunder.

 

15. AGENT COMPENSATION: Buyer shall not be liable for any compensation or fee to any agent of Script Owner in connection with this Agreement.

 

 
 

 

16. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION: Script Owner agrees to execute and procure any other and further instruments necessary to transfer, convey, assign and copyright all rights in the Script granted herein by Script Owner to Buyer in any country throughout the world. If it shall be necessary under the laws of any country that copyright registration be acquired in the name of Script Owner, Buyer is hereby authorized by Script Owner to apply for said copyright registration thereof; and, in such event, Script Owner shall and does hereby assign and transfer the same unto Buyer, subject to the rights in the Script reserved hereunder by Script Owner. Script Owner further agrees, upon request, to duly execute, acknowledge, procure and deliver to Buyer such short form assignments as may be requested by Buyer for the purpose of copyright recordation in any country, or otherwise. If Script Owner shall fail to so execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, the assignments or other instruments herein referred to, Buyer is hereby irrevocably granted the power coupled with an interest to execute such assignments and instruments in the name of Script Owner and as Script Owner's attorney-in-fact.
