The Agreement has a term beginning on the expiration of the prior agreement, and that expires on the day before the third anniversary of the beginning of the term.

Pursuant to the Agreement, DMGI appointed Apple as a reseller of sound and music video recordings owned and controlled by DMGI within the U.S. and Canada, and granted Apple certain rights to market and promote DMGI’s content. Apple agreed to pay DMGI wholesale prices for each individual recording and album download during the term of the Agreement. Under the Agreements, DMGI is generally responsible for all record royalties. DMGI is responsible for mechanical royalties in the U.S. and Apple is responsible for mechanical royalties in Canada. Apple will provide monthly sales reports to DMGI and to make payment based on such reports.
