Re: Engagement of Services

345 West 11th Avenue, Unit 4

Attention: Penny Green

Dear Ms. Green:

As discussed and agreed upon, Gravit-e Technologies Inc. (“Gravit-e”) is prepared to develop the charitytunes.com website for Sound Revolution Recordings Inc. (“The Client”) in accordance with the proposal dated April 14 (“The Proposal”) and including a feature allowing music listeners to post ratings and reviews for songs based on acceptance of the following terms and conditions:

1)     

Gravit-e has quoted the development costs for the charitytunes.com website at $11,550, including custom development, standard application hosting and necessary hardware purchases. These costs do not include fees for SSL certificate registration, credit card processing service or any other item not explicitly defined in The Proposal. The quoted costs are broken down as follows:

2)     

The development period is estimated to be three months (including beta testing), after which the site will be ready for public launch.

 

3)     

Gravit-e is willing to accept payment for $4950 of the total costs of $11,550 in the form of free trading stock, and $825 of the total costs in stock which is restricted from sale for a period of one year. All stock references in this agreement refer to the common stock of Sound Revolution, Inc.

4)     

Payment of the $11,550 is to be made with an initial cash deposit of $3,300 for standard application setup and hardware procurement. Payment for the balance of $8,250 is to be made in installments, with the first payment occurring one month following the start of development and consisting of $2,475 in cash and $825 in restricted stock. A second payment consisting of $2,475 in free trading stock will occur two months following the start of development. A final payment of $2,475 in free trading stock will be made upon substantial completion of development.

 

5)     

If free trading stock is unavailable by the date of substantial completion or Gravit-e is unable to sell the free trading stock to cover the amount owed within one month of substantial completion The Client will provide a cash payment for the outstanding balance within thirty days.

 

6)     

Monthly licensing/hosting fees of $170 will commence following the earliest of either initial public access to the website or substantial completion of development. This fee includes 50 MB of web storage, 1 GB of Traffic and 2 IMAP Email accounts. Costs for exceeding these included amounts are based on the following schedule of fees:

Because The Client is purchasing storage hardware, there will be no monthly charges for storage of the files in the song library itself.

 

7)     

Exclusive ownership and copyright for source code for any applications or modules which are entirely custom developed by Gravit-e on behalf of The Client is held by the Client. In exchange, The Client grants Gravit-e an unrestricted license to continue to use source code in any fashion so long as it does not result in direct competition to The Client.

 


Page 3 of 19

8)     

Additional conditions regarding ownership and licensing of source code are defined for the following three scenarios:

 

 

 

1.

The client wishes to use Gravit-e's applications in an Intranet environment or on self-hosted servers. In this situation Gravit-e will provide the client with the option to license the source code. Upgrades and support will continue to be provided for the software for a reduced regular monthly fee.

 

 

2.

The client wishes to use a hosting provider other than Gravit-e . In this situation Gravit-e will provide the client with the ability to license source code and take their web site and business applications with them to another web host. Upgrades will be on a case-by-case version.

 

 

3.

The client wishes to have a third party customize their Gravit-e hosted site . This will be permitted only under certain strict conditions (see below).

 

 

Licensing fees will be based on the following formulas. Upgrade fees do not apply to clients using applications in an Intranet or self-hosted environment (Scenario 1) who will instead be required to pay a monthly fee – equal to half the standard monthly licensing fee – for maintenance and support of the software.

 

 

Monthly License Fee (Applications)

 

Initial Licensing – 24 * Monthly Fee (Max Users) 

 

Major Upgrades – 18 * Monthly Fee (Max Users). Not applicable in  Scenario 1. 

 

 

One-Time Fee (Modules)  

 

Initial Licensing – 2 * Setup Fee 

 

Major Upgrades – Setup Fee. Not applicable in Scenario 1. 

 

 

Depending on scenario, licensed code will be subject to some or all of  the following conditions: 

·          Licensed source code will be permitted to be used in a production environment for the domain(s) specified at the time of licensing. If required, copies of the source code will also be permitted to be used in development and staging environments.


Page 4 of 19

Ownership and copyright of source code for standard applications  resides in Gravit-e, and further copying and/or distribution of the  source code is strictly forbidden.

·          Unobfuscated source code will be provided only for the specific  applications you have licensed. If necessary, encoded source code  will also be provided for any external code the application may  depend on.

 

·          Licensing of the source code constitutes a branch of the  software, and upgrades and bug fixes will not be provided for the  newer versions. Should the licensee wish to obtain such upgrades,  updated source code may be obtained for an additional licensing  fee. 

 

·          Basic installation and configuration instructions for the licensed  applications will be included in the licensing fee. Additional services  and support for installation are available at standard hourly rates.

 

·          Licensee will be responsible for ensuring that any third party  programmers who work on the source code adhere to the restrictions on distribution outlined above. If specifically requested  by Gravit-e, third party programmers may be required to sign a non-  disclosure agreement. 

 

·          Code altered by third party programmers must either be hosted  on a dedicated or specially designated shared server, or alternately  be submitted to Gravit-e for an auditing and/or automated application testing prior to being placed on live servers. Any necessary code audits will be billed to the client at standard hourly  rates. 

 

9)

Any violation of these conditions will constitute breach of the licensing conditions and will result in termination of the client's license for use of the source code.

 

 

10)

Any hardware purchased by Gravit-e on behalf of The Client will be owned in name by Gravit-e. If service is discontinued, The Client may purchase the hardware from Gravit-e for one dollar.

 

 

11)

Gravit-e reserves the right to increase monthly fees as necessary. Application licensing fees will not be increased by an amount exceeding ten percent per year.
