For greater certainty, the foregoing information business comprises the information website(s) containing informative narrative descriptions on various topics of information with corresponding short clips of related video content.

LICENSOR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. Licensor shall:

(a)

provide to Licensee the video content (“Content”) as set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto in DVD, CD or other mutually acceptable format, along with all packaging and documentation included with the retail version, if any, of the Content. If such exists, Licensor shall provide to Licensee a written transcription of the narrative portion of the Content or alternatively, Licensee may transcribe the spoken words or use such textual material it elects for use on the Website.

(b)

during the Term hereof, continue to make available to Licensee such additional new Content as it has available for licensing from time to time. The parties hereto acknowledge that Licensor is in the business of distributing licensed video content to brick-and-mortar retail channels and, as a consequence, may not be entitled to include any or all additional content to the Content under the present Agreement.

LICENSEE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. Licensee agrees:

(a)

at its sole expense, to use reasonable efforts to display, market and advertise the Content on Licensee’s internet-based Website(s). Presently, the website is operated under the brand “Encyclomedia,” with a website located at www.encyclomedia.com. Such marketing services shall be provided by Licensee without fee or charge to Licensor (ie. all revenue from retail sales, licensing, etc. resulting from marketing on the Website shall belong exclusively to Licensor).

(b)

to provide financial compensation to Licensor for the use of the Content reasonably comparable to the compensation which Licensee provides to other providers of similar video content. The parties hereto acknowledge that Encyclomedia is a new venture and Licensor has not yet determined the final basis of compensation to providers of video content (ie. revenue share of advertising revenue, revenue share of all revenue, etc.). The parties hereby agree that in the event that Licensee is not providing equal or equivalent compensation to all licensors of video content, that such compensation to Licensor hereunder shall equal the average of the compensation provided by Licensee to all of its licensors of video content.

(c)

to reimburse Licensor for all direct out-of-pockets costs which Licensor incurs in the duplication and delivery of Content to Licensee. The parties hereto agree that should Licensor have developed a retail product incorporating the Content, Licensor shall satisfy its obligations hereunder by providing Licensee a retail copy of such product, the whole without cost to Licensee.

LICENSE OF CONTENT. During the Term, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, fully paid, right and license to use, display and host the Content for use in the Encyclomedia Business, and all intellectual property rights related thereto, to carry out Licensee’s responsibilities herein. Licensee shall be entitled to display on the Website(s) any trailers or other video-clips owned or controlled by the Licensor with respect to the Content or to create any montage, collection or short video from the Content which Licensee considers appropriate or useful in promoting or otherwise illustrating the Content. The foregoing license shall be, where available and subject to Licensor’s own rights to the Content, for the entire world. Licensee acknowledges that Licensor’s brick-and-mortar business is in North America and, consequently, its rights to the Content are normally restricted to North America. Licensee further acknowledges that Licensor is normally itself a licensee of the Content and, as such, will endeavor to obtain the necessary rights from the owner of the Content to permit the license to the Licensee contemplated herein.

NON-COMPETING BUSINESS: Licensor agrees that the Content, including the written transcription of the audio portions, shall not be licensed by Licensor to another internet-based website which may provide the same online encyclopedia informational services as are being provided by Licensee hereunder.

TERM AND TERMINATION. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue for a period equal to, and concurrent with, the license term between Licensor and Licensee with respect to the license of recorded music for online digital dissemination.
