14 5. On information and belief, Defendant CHARLES ROGER POMFRET HODGSON,

15 a/k/a ROGER HODGSON, is a resident of Nevada County in the State of California. Mr.
16 Hodgson was the lead guitarist and vocalist for Supertramp and is a former member (by and

21 7. On information and belief, Defendant DELICATE MUSIC is a California general
22 partnership with its principal place of business in Los Angeles County in the State of California.
23 At all relevant times, Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Davies were and currently are partners of Delicate
24 Music. On information and belief, Delicate Music is one of the publishing administrators (as that
25 term is used in the music business) of the musical compositions (or songs) at issue in this case,
26 and therefore receives some or all of the monies owed to Plaintiffs under the agreements at issue
27 here.
28

2
COMPLAINT
 1 8. Defendant UNIVERSAL MUSIC CORP., d/b/a UNIVERSAL MUSIC
2 PUBLISHING GROUP, is a Delaware corporation licensed to do business in the State of
3 California with its principal place of business in Los Angeles County in the State of California.
4 Upon information and belief, as successor in interest by merger to ALMO Music Corp., Universal

14 receives some or all of the money owed to Plaintiffs under the agreements at issue here.
15 10. On information and belief, the true names and capacities, whether individual,
16 corporate, associate or otherwise, of Defendants named herein as Does 1 through 20, inclusive,
17 are unknown to Plaintiffs, who therefore sues said Defendants by such fictitious names. Plaintiffs
18 will amend this complaint to allege their true names and capacities when such have been
19 ascertained. On information and belief, each of the Defendants designated herein as “Doe” is
20 legally responsible for the events and actions alleged herein, and proximately caused or
21 contributed to the injuries and damages as hereinafter described.
22 JURISDICTION AND VENUE
23 11. This Court has original subject matter jurisdiction over this matter in that the
24 amount in controversy exceeds the jurisdictional minimum of $25,000. This Court has personal
25 jurisdiction over each Defendant inasmuch as he or it either resides in the State or has sufficient
26 minimum contacts here under applicable law.
27

COMPLAINT
 1 12. Venue is proper in this County because at least one Defendant resides in or has its
2 principal place of business here.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
3
13. Supertramp is a world-famous multi-platinum English progressive rock band
4
formed in London in the 1970s. The group coalesced around the lineup of Mr. Hodgson on guitar
5
and vocals, Mr. Thomson on bass, Mr. Helliwell on saxophone, keyboards, and backing vocals,
6
Mr. Siebenberg on drums and percussion, and Mr. Davies on keyboards and vocals.
7
14. From 1973 to 1983, when Mr. Hodgson left the band, Supertramp released six
8
studio albums: Crime of the Century; Crisis? What Crisis?; Even in the Quietest Moments;
9
Breakfast in America; Paris; and Famous Last Words (the “Supertramp Recordings”). All six
10
albums went Gold, Platinum, Multi-Platinum, or Diamond (10x Platinum) in various countries in
11
LLP

Europe and North America. For example, the band’s biggest hit record, Breakfast in America,
12
39 Mesa Street, Suite 201 – The Presidio
PHILLIPS, ERLEWINE , GIVEN & CARLIN

reached #1 in the U.S. in 1979 and was later certified 4x Platinum by the Recording Industry
13
Telephone: (415) 398-0900
San Francisco, CA 94129

Association of America.
14
15. All five members performed on and contributed to the Supertramp Recordings, and
15
all five members toured assiduously behind and in support of the release of those albums. In
16
connection with their collective endeavors, the band members formed SUPERTRAMP, a
17
California general partnership, sometime in the late 1970s, later memorializing their partnership
18
in a written agreement.
19
The 1977 Agreement
20
16. Messrs. Hodgson and Davies were the principal songwriters in the band and were
21
credited as such. However, as popular music acts often do, because the band members collectively
22
recognized the contributions of the non-songwriting members of the band to the success of the
23
band’s songs, on or about Jan. 18, 1977, the five members of Supertramp together with their
24
manager David Margereson entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (Publishing) (the “1977
25
Agreement”) pertaining to the sharing of songwriting and publishing royalties among them. A
26
true and correct copy of that agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
27

28

4
COMPLAINT
 1 17. The 1977 Agreement states that “all songwriting and publishing royalties [and/or
2 other income] derived from the parties’ songwriting and/or publishing activities” for
3 “compositions recorded by the performing group Supertramp [] shall be paid to each of the
4 undersigned in the following proportions”:
5 • 27% Roger Hodgson
6 • 27% Richard Davies
7 • 11.5% Douglas Thomson
8 • 11.5% John Helliwell
9 • 11.5% Robert Siebenberg
10 • 11.5% David Margereson
11 The 1977 Agreement provides a different apportionment of songwriting and publishing royalties
LLP

12 for any musical compositions recorded by artists “other than the performing group Supertramp.”
39 Mesa Street, Suite 201 – The Presidio
PHILLIPS, ERLEWINE , GIVEN & CARLIN

13 18. The 1977 Agreement also provides that the “copyrights of the compositions shall
Telephone: (415) 398-0900
San Francisco, CA 94129

14 be owned by the respective writers who write the compositions and shall be administered by
15 Delicate Music, a partnership consisting of Richard Davies and Roger Hodgson.” A list of the
16 musical compositions (or songs) covered by the parties’ 1977 Agreement, and by successor
17 agreements discussed herein, is attached hereto as Exhibit B, referred to hereinafter as the
18 “Supertramp Songs.”
19 19. Because of the different treatment under the 1977 Agreement of songwriting and
20 publishing royalties depending on who recorded the Supertramp Songs, Delicate Music’s
21 obligation to administer the copyrights in and to the Supertramp Songs required it to allocate and
22 account for songwriting and publishing royalties derived from Supertramp’s recordings of those
23 songs as well as those derived from recordings by musical artists “other than the performing
24 group Supertramp.” The former included Plaintiffs; the latter did not.
25 The 1984 Agreement
26 20. On or about Dec. 13, 1984, Plaintiffs, and their respective loan-out entities,
27 Messrs. Hodgson and Davies and their respective loan-out entities, Delicate Music, and others,
28

5
COMPLAINT
 1 entered into a Withdrawal Agreement (the “1984 Agreement”) pertaining to Mr. Hodgson’s
2 departure from the Supertramp band and partnership. A true and correct copy of the 1984
3 Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
4 21. Among other things, the 1984 Agreement addresses the parties’ relationship
5 regarding songwriting and publishing royalties to be paid in connection with the Supertramp
6 Songs. The 1984 Agreement acknowledges and largely leaves unchanged the parties’ respective
7 shares of those royalties derived from the use of Supertramp Songs on the Supertramp
8 Recordings. It also acknowledges the different treatment given to songwriting and publishing
9 royalties derived from the use of Supertramp Songs on a recording which “features the
10 performance of a recording artist other than Supertramp” (defined as an “Outside Cover
11 Recording”) and confirms that Plaintiffs do not participate in any songwriting or publishing
LLP

12 royalties derived from the use of the Supertramp Songs on such recordings.
39 Mesa Street, Suite 201 – The Presidio
PHILLIPS, ERLEWINE , GIVEN & CARLIN

13 22. The 1984 Agreement prohibits Mr. Hodgson and his loan-out entity from using the
Telephone: (415) 398-0900
San Francisco, CA 94129

14 Supertramp name in any future endeavors unless accompanied by the phrase “formerly of” (the
15 “Credit Requirement”). In this connection, Mr. Hodgson and his loan-out entity agreed that they
16 would use “best efforts to ensure strict compliance” with the Credit Requirement. Mr. Hodgson
17 and his loan out entity also acknowledged that breach of the Credit Requirement and related
18 provisions were material and would cause Plaintiffs and others irreparable harm, and for that
19 reason agreed that Plaintiffs were entitled to “injunctive and other equitable relief” to prevent or
20 cure any such breach.
21 The 1991 Agreement
22 23. On or about Dec. 31, 1991, Plaintiffs entered into an agreement with Mr. Davies,
23 Delicate Music and others (the “1991 Agreement”) modifying certain aspects of the songwriting
24 and publishing royalties due them under the 1977 Agreement and the 1984 Agreement. A true and
25 correct copy of the 1991 Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit D.
26 24. The 1991 Agreement confirms the share of songwriting and publishing royalties
27 owed to Plaintiffs under the 1977 Agreement and the 1984 Agreement, restates Delicate Music’s
28

6
COMPLAINT
 1 obligation to account for and pay them “in perpetuity,” and prohibits Delicate Music from
2 “interfering or stopping any distribution to be made [of these royalties] to any other party.” Since
3 at least the time of the 1991 Agreement to about early 2018, Plaintiffs were accounted to and paid
4 more or less every 90 days for their respective shares of songwriting and publishing royalties,
5 either directly by Mr. Hodgson and/or Mr. Davies, or through Delicate Music. These royalties
6 have been substantial, as the Supertramp Songs generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in
7 yearly revenue.
8 25. On information and belief, some or all of the songwriting and publishing royalties
9 derived from the Supertramp Songs come from Universal Music and ASCAP, who paid and
10 continue to pay those royalties to Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Davies, Delicate Music or a combination of
11 the three, who in turn are obligated to distribute them to the individual Plaintiffs in the
LLP

12 percentages agreed upon.

PHILLIPS, ERLEWINE , GIVEN & CARLIN

13 Mr. Hodgson’s Sound-Alike Recordings

Telephone: (415) 398-0900
San Francisco, CA 94129

14 26. On information and belief, beginning sometime in the late 2000s, Mr. Hodgson
15 produced and recorded versions of all or almost all of the band’s biggest hits, among those
16 “Dreamer,” “The Logical Song,” and “Give A Little Bit.” He did so in a manner intending to, and
17 largely succeeding in, reproducing the exact sound of the Supertramp Recordings. Unless
18 restricted by contract, an effort of this kind is lawful and is commonly referred to in the music
19 business as a “sound-alike” recording. On information and belief, for accounting purposes, Mr.
20 Hodgson and Delicate Music excluded Plaintiffs from any participation in the songwriting or
21 publishing royalties derived from the sound-alike recordings’ use of the Supertramp Songs.
22 27. In connection with these soundalike recordings and his music business endeavors,
23 Mr. Hodgson has variously referred to himself or credited his recorded or live performances as
24 “Roger Hodgson/Supertramp,” “Supertramp’s Roger Hodgson,” “The Voice of Supertramp,” and
25 other similar monikers using the Supertramp name. In addition, others to whom Mr. Hodgson has
26 licensed rights in his soundalike recordings have credited them as Supertramp Recordings.
27

COMPLAINT
 Accountings and Payments to Plaintiffs by Hodgson Cease
1
28. Up until approximately 2018, Mr. Hodgson, by himself and through Delicate
2
Music, more or less faithfully adhered to the payment allocation prescribed by the 1977
3
Agreement, the 1984 Agreement, and the 1991 Agreement, and accounted to and paid Plaintiffs
4
their respective shares of songwriting and music publishing royalties, either directly or through
5
Delicate Music, more or less every 90 days. Starting sometime in 2018, excepting various one-off
6
payments lacking any accounting for same, Mr. Hodgson, either by himself or by and through
7
Delicate Music, stopped accounting and paying (or instructed others not to account and pay) any
8
portion of songwriting or publishing royalties to Plaintiffs due them on the Supertramp Songs.
9
Even before these accountings ceased entirely, Mr. Hodgson’s and Delicate Music’s reporting
10
often included no more than a single line-item without any explanation for the calculation of
11
LLP

monies owed or employing accounting devices to minimize the amount paid Plaintiffs. For
12
39 Mesa Street, Suite 201 – The Presidio
PHILLIPS, ERLEWINE , GIVEN & CARLIN

example, on some of those accountings, Mr. Hodgson allocated substantially all of the
13
Telephone: (415) 398-0900
San Francisco, CA 94129

songwriting and publishing royalties he received from Universal Music, ASCAP and others to the
14
use of the Supertramp Songs on recordings other than the Supertramp Recordings.
15
From Aug. 2019 to date, neither Mr. Hodgson, Delicate Music, nor any of their agents have given
16
Plaintiffs any explanation for their failure to account and pay these amounts. Upon receipt of a
17
March 2021 letter from Plaintiffs’ counsel raising these issues, Mr. Hodgson’s attorney purported
18
to “refute each and every one of the allegations” pertaining to the subject, again without
19
explanation, and threatened “to consult with litigation counsel,” among other things. (Mr.
20
Hodgson has since fired this attorney.) Upon information and belief, Mr. Hodgson has told others
21
that he stopped making the required payments because, in his words, Plaintiffs “have been paid
22
enough” and has expressed the sentiment that Plaintiffs “ripped me off” and “will never make any
23
money off me again.” Clearly, by these statements, Mr. Hodgson and Delicate Music have
24
evinced an awareness of their contractual obligations to Plaintiffs and have chosen not to honor
25
them, and in some circumstances, to actively frustrate and thwart them.
26

COMPLAINT
 1 Mr. Davies Fails to Pay and Account for Royalties Owed to Plaintiffs
2 29. Up until sometime in or around 2019, Mr. Davies, by himself and through Delicate
3 Music, more or less faithfully adhered to the payment allocation prescribed by the 1977
4 Agreement, the 1984 Agreement, and the 1991 Agreement, and accounted to and paid Plaintiffs
5 their respective shares of songwriting and music publishing royalties, either directly or through
6 Delicate Music, more or less every 90 days.
7 30. Starting sometime in or about 2019, Mr. Davies stopped paying and/or, on information
8 and belief, instructed Delicate Music or others to stop paying the U.S. songwriting and publishing
9 royalties due to Plaintiffs for those Supertramp Songs appearing on the Supertramp records
10 Breakfast in America and Famous Last Words.
11 31. In December 2019, counsel for Mr. Davies and Delicate Music advised counsel for
LLP

12 Plaintiffs that it would no longer pay domestic songwriting royalties to Messrs. Helliwell,
39 Mesa Street, Suite 201 – The Presidio
PHILLIPS, ERLEWINE , GIVEN & CARLIN

13 Thomson, and Siebenberg for songs appearing on Breakfast in America and Famous Last Words
Telephone: (415) 398-0900
San Francisco, CA 94129

14 and that Mr. Davies would retain all that income. In April 2020, Mr. Siebenberg received an
15 email from Mr. Davies’ accountant attaching a royalty distribution summary and stating that
16 “these royalties exclude domestic income participation for all non-writers from Breakfast in
17 America and Famous Last Words. [* * *] The royalties for these albums totaled approx.
18 $29,000.”

COMPLAINT
 1 36. As set forth above, Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Davies, and Delicate Music breached these
2 contracts by failing to properly and timely account for and pay to Plaintiffs their share of
3 songwriting and publishing royalties owed them.
4 37. As set forth above, Mr. Hodgson and Delicate Music further breached these contracts
5 by (A) misallocating songwriting and publishing royalties derived from uses of the Supertramp
6 Songs as “Cover Income” and attributing those royalties to works other than the Supertramp
7 Recordings, (B) failing to account for songwriting and publishing royalties derived from the use
8 of the Supertramp Songs on Mr. Hodgson’s sound-alike recordings, and (C) failing to use best
9 efforts to ensure strict compliance with the Credit Requirement.
10 38. Plaintiffs have performed all conditions, covenants, and promises to be performed on
11 their part under the pertinent contracts.
LLP

12 39. As a direct and proximate cause of Mr. Hodgson’s, Mr. Davies’ and Delicate Music’s
39 Mesa Street, Suite 201 – The Presidio
PHILLIPS, ERLEWINE , GIVEN & CARLIN

13 breaches, Plaintiffs, and each of them, have been damaged in an amount to be proven at trial, but

14 at least the jurisdictional amount.

15 SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
16 (Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing)
17 (Against Defendants Hodgson, Davies and Delicate Music)
18 40. Plaintiffs incorporate the allegations of paragraphs 1-39 as though fully set forth
19 herein.
20 41. The parties’ contracts each contain a covenant implied by law that Mr. Hodgson, Mr.
21 Davies, and Delicate Music would act toward Plaintiffs in good faith and with fair dealing.
22 42. This implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing imposes on Mr. Hodgson, Mr.
23 Davies, and Delicate Music the duty not to take any action with the motive to frustrate Plaintiffs’
24 enjoyment of their rights under those contracts and to exercise any discretion they have
25 thereunder fairly.
26 43. In doing the acts alleged hereinabove, Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Davies, and Delicate Music
27 have breached this covenant of good faith and fair dealing. They have done so in that, in bad faith
28

10
COMPLAINT
 1 and with a motive intentionally to frustrate if not defeat Plaintiffs’ enjoyment of their rights under
2 the parties’ contracts, they have acted in a manner intended to freeze Plaintiffs out of their
3 contractual entitlements, to divert royalties derived from the Supertramp Songs from the
4 Supertramp Recordings to Mr. Hodgson’s sound-alike recordings, and to otherwise avoid timely
5 and properly paying Plaintiffs what they are owed under the parties’ contracts in the accountings
6 to them.
7 44. As a direct and proximate cause of the foregoing breaches of the covenant of good
8 faith and fair dealing, Plaintiffs have been damaged in an amount to be determined according to
9 proof at trial, but at least the jurisdictional minimum of this Court.

13 45. Plaintiffs incorporate the allegations of paragraphs 1-44 as though fully set forth
Telephone: (415) 398-0900
San Francisco, CA 94129

14 herein.
15 46. The songwriting and publishing royalties owed to Plaintiffs were and are the property
16 of Plaintiffs.
17 47. These royalties were and are a sum capable of identification, and were received by Mr.
18 Hodgson, Mr. Davies, and/or Delicate Music, who have in their exclusive possession, custody or
19 control the information necessary to identify and determine said sum, and have otherwise failed
20 and refused to account for any portion thereof on demand.
21 48. These royalties owed to Plaintiffs, or any portion thereof, were contractually required
22 to have been administered and paid to Plaintiffs by Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Davies and/or Delicate
23 Music, and neither Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Davies, nor Delicate Music had any right to retain or use
24 those funds.
25 49. Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Davies and Delicate Music, with the aid of others, intentionally and
26 substantially interfered with receipt by Plaintiffs of these royalties by wrongfully withholding
27 these funds and misappropriating these funds for their own personal use and enjoyment.
28

11
COMPLAINT
 1 50. Plaintiffs did not consent in any manner to Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Davies, and Delicate
2 Music withholding these royalties.
3 51. Neither Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Davies, nor Delicate Music have remitted these royalties,
4 nor have they replaced any portion thereof, nor have they accounted for them, despite the demand
5 therefor.
6 52. Mr. Hodgson’s, Mr. Davies’ and Delicate Music’s acts described herein were
7 malicious and oppressive. At all times herein, Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Davies and/or Delicate Music
8 acted willfully, capriciously, and with conscious disregard for Plaintiffs’ rights. Plaintiffs are
9 therefore entitled to punitive damages against Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Davies and Delicate Music in an
10 amount appropriate to punish them and set an example.
11 53. In addition, Plaintiffs’ damages are ongoing and increasing due to Mr. Hodgson’s and
LLP

12 Delicate Music’s contractual obligations to pay and account for these royalties.

15
62. An actual controversy has arisen between Plaintiffs and Defendants. As described

above, Plaintiffs contend that they are each entitled to certain songwriting and publishing

HEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
(Publishing)

This Agreement is made and entered into by and

between RICHARD DAVIES, ROGER HODGSON, DOUGLAS CAMPBELL

TliOMSON, JOHN ANTHONY HELLIWELL, ROBERT LAYNE SIEBENBERG

and DAVID MARGERESON as of the 18th day of January, 1977.

1. The parties are executing this Memorandum to

reflect the agreement reached between them concerning the

matters contained herein. This Memorandum shall serve as

a fully effective and binding contract unless and until such

time as a formal agreement covering the same subjects is

entered into.

2. The parties hereby agree that effective

January 1, 1977, all song writing and publishing royalties

[and/or other income] derived from the parties' songwriting

and/or publishing activities shall be allocated in the follow-

ing manner:

(a) On any compositions recorded by musical

artists other than the performing group Supertramp, whether

original or cover recordings, the net writing and publishing

income, after deduction of co-publishing and administration

fe~s, derived from said recordings shall be paid in equal

shares to the writers of said compositions, subject to a 15%

management commission to David Margereson.

(b) On any compositions recorded by the perform-

ing group Supertramp the net writing and publishing income

derived from said recordings (herein, the "shared ~mblishing

income"), without any management commission payable to David

Margereson, shall be paid to each of the undersigned in the

following proportions:
-::.--

Roger Hodgson 27%

Richard Davies 27%
Douglas Campbell Thomson 11. 5%
John Anthony Helliwell 11. 5%
Robert Layne Siebenberg 11.5%
David Margereson 11.5%

(c) The method of allocating the public per-

formance income (both writers' and publishers' shares)

between recordings with shared publishing income and other

recordings, shall be to apply the ratio of reported

mechanical income between recordings with shared publishing

income and non-shared publishing income for the applicable

period.

3. The copyrights of the compositions shall be owned

by the respective writers who write the compositions and

shall be administered by Delicate Music, a partnership con-

sisting of Richard Davies and Roger Hodgson.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have executed this

Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

1.1 Effective as of September 30, 1983, ROHOP shall
be deemed to have withdrawn as a partner from Supertramp Part-
nership. Pursuant to paragraph 4.02 of the Supertramp Partner-
ship Agreement, ROHOP shall receive from Supertramp Partnership

nership Agreement, treating September 30, 1983 as the Valuation
Date • ..ROHOP acknowledges and agrees that any recordings which

1.3 (a) As additional compensation for services

previously furnished by ROHOP in connection with the production
of Pre-Valuation Masters, Supertramp Partnership shall pay
ROHOP a royalty of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) with
respect to net sales of the first two million (2,000,000)
royalty-bearing units of the first long-playing record album
delivered by Supertramp to, and released by, A&M after the date
hereof, which album consists of master recordings made by
Supertramp after the Valuation Date (the "Next Supertramp
Album"). ROHOP's royalties under this paragraph 1.3 shall be
computed upon the retail list price of records, less packaging
charges, taxes, and all other deductions taken from such price
by A&M in calculating the royalties payable to Supertr~mp
Partnership under the production agreement between A&M and
Supertramp Partnership, dated as of January 1, 1981 (the "1981
Production Agreement" ). If, with respect to any type of
exploitation of the Next Supertramp Album, Supertramp Partner-
ship is paid royalties on the basis of a percentage of gross or
net receipts, ROHOP shall be paid a fraction of such receipts,
the numerator of which shall be one and one-half percent (1-
1/2%) and the denominator of which shall be the so-called
"all-in" royalty rate payable to Supertramp Partnership under
the 1981 Production Agreement with respect to single-disc
albums, comprised entirely of master recordings featuring the
performances of Supertramp, which albums are sold for distribu-
tion through normal retail channels in the United States and
for which Supertramp Partnership is entitled to a "full royalty
rate".
(b) The royalties payable to ROHOP under this
paragraph 1.3 shall be computed in the same manner and method
as the royalties payable to Supertramp Partnership by A&M under
the 1981 Production Agreement, including, but not limited to,
all reductions, deductions and category variations for tape
sales, licensee sales, foreign sales, domestic sales for ex-
port, record club sales and all other mail order sales, "econ-
omy" and "budget" record sales and other reduced price sales,
institutional and governmental sales, compact disc sales, cable
transmission sales, packaging charges, reserves, taxes and
other governmental or union payments, the computation of
"gross" and/or "net" receipts, the distribution of the Next
Supertramp Album in distribution channels other than normal
retail channels, the distribution of "free", "no-charge" and
"bonus" records (whether for promotional purposes or for re-

has, or shall ever claim to have, any right or interest whatso-

ever in or to the name, trademark and service mark "SUPER-
TRAMP", and neither of them shall hereafter use such name in
any commercial manner whatsoever.
1.3 (a) As additional compensation for services
previously furnished by ROHOP in connection with the production
of Pre-Valuation Masters, Supertramp Partnership shall pay
ROHOP a royalty of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) with
respect to net sales of the first two million (2,000,000)
royalty-bearing units of the first long-playing record album
delivered by Supertramp to, and released by, A&M after the date
hereof, which album consists of master recordings made by
Super tramp after the Valuation Date ( the "Next Super tramp .
Album"). ROHOP's royalties under this paragraph 1.3 shall be
computed upon the retail list price of records, less packaging
charges, taxes, and all other deductions taken from such price
by A&M in calculating the royalties payable to Supertr~mp
Partnership under the production agreement between A&M and
Supertramp Partnership, dated as of January 1, 1981 (the "1981
Production Agreement" ). If, with respect to any type of
exploitation of the Next Supertramp Album, Supertramp Partner-
ship is paid royalties on the basis of a percentage of gross or
net receipts, ROHOP shall be paid a fraction of such receipts,
the numerator of which shall be one and one-half percent (1-
1/2%) and the denominator of which shall be the so-called
"all-in" royalty rate payable to Supertramp Partnership under
the 1981 Production Agreement with respect to single-disc
albums, comprised entirely of master recordings featuring the
performances of Supertramp, which albums are sold for distribu-
tion through normal retail channels in the United States and
for which Supertramp Partnership is entitled to a "full royalty
rate".
(b) The royalties payable to ROHOP under this
paragraph 1.3 shall be computed in the same manner and method
as the royalties payable to Supertramp Partnership by A&M under
the 1981 Production Agreement, including, but not limited to,
all reductions, deductions and category variations for tape
sales, licensee sales, foreign sales, domestic sales for ex-
port, record club sales and all other mail order sales, "econ-
omy" and "budget" record sales and other reduced price sales,

transmission sales, packaging charges, reserves, taxes and
other governmental or union payments, the computation of
"gross" and/or "net" receipts, the distribution of the Next

retail channels, the distribution of "free", "no-charge" and
"bonus" records (whether for promotional purposes or for re-

sale), and all other discounts, and ROHOP shall be paid on the
same percentage of sales that Supertramp Partnership is paid by
A&M under the Production Agreement.
(c) ROHOP specifically acknowledges and agrees
that:
(i) ROHOP shall only be entitled to a
royalty on net sales of disc and tape units of the Next Super-
tramp Album, and shall not be entitled to a royalty with re-
spect to any other exploitation of the master recordings con-
tained on the Next Supertramp Album ("Next Album Masters").
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence,
ROHOP shall not be entitled to any royalty with respect to the
exploitation of any Next Album Masters on seven-inch or twelve-
inch singles, or on any "Greatest Hits" album (except a• pro-
vided in paragraph 8.3 below), or with respect to any licensed
use of the Next Album Masters (including, without limitation,
on a so-called K-tel-type compilation record or in a motion
picture).
(ii) ROHOP shall not be entitled to any
royalty on net sales of the Next Supertramp Album in excess of
two million (2,000,000) royalty-bearing units. If net sales of
the Next Supertramp Album exceed two million (2,000,000) royal-
ty-bearing units, ROHOP's royalties hereunder shall be calcu-
lated on the first two million (2,000,000) royalty-bearing
units reported as sold on accounting statements rendered by A&M
to Supertramp Partnership.
(iii) The one and one-half percent (1-
1/2%) royalty rate set forth in subparagraph 1.3(a) above shall
apply to sales in the United States, the united Kingdom, and
Canada; such royalty rate shall be reduced for sales in all
other countries as provided in subparagraph 1.3(b) above.
(d) Within ten (10) days after the full execu-
tion of this Agreement, Supertramp Par·tnership shall pay to
ROHOP the sum of One. Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) as
an advance recoupable by Supertramp Partnership from any and
all royalties payable to ROHOP pursuant to this paragraph 1.3
(but not from any other royalties or other monies payable to
ROHOP or Hodgson pursuant to this Agreement, the Supertramp
Partnership Agreement, or any other agreement between ROHOP
and/or Hodgson, on the one hand, ·and any of the Supertramp
Parties, on the other hand).
1.4 Supertramp Partnership shall use its best ef-
forts to obtain A&M's agreement: (a) to pay directly to ROHOP,
at the same time statements are rendered to Supertramp Partner-

1101841 -4-
ship by A&M, (i) all royalties (net of expenses chargeable to
ROHOP hereunder or under the Supertramp Partnership Agreement)
payable to ROHOP under the Supertramp Partnership Agreement in
respect of exploitation of Pre-Valuation Masters, and (ii) all
royal ties ( net of expenses chargeable to ROHOP hereunder)-·
payable to ROHOP pursuant to paragraph 1.3 hereof; and (b) to
permit ROHOP to examine directly A&M's books and records ~n the
same terms and conditions as are applicable to Supertramp
Partnership under the 1981 Production Agreement. Such best
efforts shall include sending A&M a letter irrevocably autho-
rizing and directing A&M to make such direct payments and to
grant such direct audit rights, and attempting to get A&M to
execute this Agreement in the appropriate space below. If A&
agrees to make. such direct payments, the amount of chargeabl~
expenses to be deducted from each such payment shall be deter-
mined solely by the accountant for Supertramp Partnership
(using his/her reasonable business judgment)t who shall ·advise
A&M and ROHOP of such amount. If A&M does not agree to make
such direct payments, Supertramp Partnership shall pay such
royalties to ROHOP within thirty (30) days after such royalties
are received by Supertramp Partnership from A&M.
1.5 All payments to ROHOP pursuant to paragraph 1.3
hereof shall be treated as payments of ROHOP's distributive
share of Supertramp Partnership's income, as described in
Section 736(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended
from time to time.
1.6 ROHOP and Hodgson acknowledge and agree that,
whenever the consent or approval of Supertramp Partnership is
l
required under any agreement between Supertramp Partnership and
a third party (including, without limitation, any agreement
between Supertramp Partnership and A&M) relating to the Pre-
Valuation Masters or to the master recordings delivered by
Supertramp under the recording agreement (the "1973 Recording
Agreement") between A&M Records Limited and Supertramp, dated
October 30, 1973 (the "1973 Masters"), or to the master record-
ings delivered by Swindon under the production agreement (the
"1977 Production Agreement") between A&M and Swindon, dated as
of January 18, 1977 (the "1977 Masters"), such consent or
approval may be given or withheld by Supertramp Partnership, in (
its sole and arbitrary discretion, without the approval or
consent of ROHOP or Hodgson; provided, however, if an autho-
rized representative of ROHOP is available prior to the Appro-
val Date, Supertramp Partnership shall use its best efforts to
consult with such authorized representative of ROHOP regarding
any matter as to which such consent or approval is required,
but the inadvertent failure of Supertramp Partnership to so
consult with ROHOP shall not be deemed a breach of this Agree-
ment. As used in this paragraph 1.6, the term "Approval Date"

1101841 -s-
ship by A&M, {i) all royalties {net of expenses chargeable to
ROHOP hereunder or under the Supertramp Partnership Agreement)
payable to ROHOP under the Supertramp Partnership Agreement in
respect of exploitation of Pre-Valuation Masters, and (ii) all
royalties {net of expenses chargeable to ROHOP hereunder)·
payable to ROHOP pursuant to paragraph 1.3 hereof; and {b) to
permit ROHOP to examine directly A&M's books and records on the
same terms and conditions as are applicable to Supertramp
Partnership under the 1981 Production Agreement. Such best
efforts shall include sending A&M a letter irrevocably autho-
rizing and directing A&M to make such direct payments and to
grant such direct audit rights, and attempting to get A&M to
execute this Agreement in the appropriate space below. If A&M
agrees to make such direct payments, the amount of chargeable
expenses to be deducted from each such payment shall be detei-
mined solely by the accountant for Supertramp Partnership
(using his/her reasonable business judgment)c who shall-advise
A&M and ROHOP of such amount. If A&M does not agree to make
such direct payments, Supertramp Partnership shall pay 'such
royalties to ROHOP within thirty (30) days after such royalties
are received by Supertramp Partnership from A&M.
i.s All payments to ROHOP pursuant to paragraph 1.3
hereof shall be treated as payments of ROHOP's distributive
share of Supertramp Partnership's income, as described in
Section 736{a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended
from time to time.
1.6 ROHOP and Hodgson acknowledge and agree that,
whenever the consent or approval of Supertramp Partnership is
required under any agreement between Supertramp Partnership and
a third party (including, without limitation, any agreement
between Supertramp Partnership and A&M) relating to the Pre-
Valuation Masters or to the master recordings delivered by
Supertramp under the recording agreement {the "1973 Recording
Agreement") between A&M Records Limited and Supertramp, dated
October 30, 1973 (the "1973 Masters"), or to the master record-
ings delivered by Swindon under the production agreement (the
"1977 Production Agreement") between A&M and Swindon, dated as
of January 18, 1977 (the "1977 Masters"), such consent or
approval may be given or withheld by Supertramp Partnership, in
its sole and arbitrary discretion, without the approval or
consent of ROHOP or Hodgson: provided, however, if an autho-
rized representative of ROHOP is available prior to the Appro-
val Date, Supertramp Partnership shall use its best efforts to
consult with such authorized representative of ROHOP regarding
any matter as to which such consent or approval is required,
but the inadvertent failure of Supertramp Partnership to so
consult with ROHOP shall not be deemed a breach of this Agree-
ment. As used in this paragraph 1.6, the term "Approval Date"

1101841 -s-
shall mean the date occurring three (3) days before the last
date on which Supertramp Partnership has the right, pursuant to
its agreement with the third party, to grant or withhold its
consent or approval in respect of the particular matter: pro-
vided, if there _is no such date specified in such agreement,
then the term "Approval Date" shall mean the date seven (7)
days after Supertramp Partnership first attempts to consult
with an authorized representative of ROHOP. The provisions of
paragraph 7.4 hereof, and not the provisions of this paragraph
1.6 or of paragraph 2.6 below, shall apply to the giving or
withholding of approval or consent by Delicate with respect to
exploitation of musical compositions owned by Delicate.

stock ("ROHOP's Shares"), which ROHOP represents and warrants
are all of the shares of Swindon capital stock owned by ROHOP.
2.3 As full and complete payment to ROHOP for
ROHOP's Shares, Swindon shall pay to ROHOP, on or before
October 15, 1984, one-sixth (1/6) of the consolidated book

ing capital stock of Swindon and Roadsweepers. ROHOP acknowl-
edges that such consolidated book value as of March 31, 1984 is
estimated to be approximately Three Thousand Dollars

sation for services previously rendered in connection with the
production of recordings made by Supertramp prior to September
30, 1983, date hereof, one-sixth (1/6) of the net artist royal-
ties received by Swindon from A&M under the 1977 Production
Agreement and under the 1973 Recording Agreement. All of the
parties hereto acknowledge that Hodgson was entitled to receive
the additional compensation described in this paragraph 2.4
without regard to the execution of this Agreement or the trans-
fer to Swindon of ROHOP's Shares. As used in this paragraph
2.4, the term "net artist royalties" shall mean the so-called

1101841 -6-
"all-in" royalties payable by A&M to Swindon, less all royal-
ties payable by Swindon to third parties not affiliated with
the Supertrarnp Parties (including, but not limited to, pro-
ducers and recording engineers). ·
2.5 Swindon shall use its best efforts to obtain
A&M's agreement (a) to pay directly to Hodgson, at the same
time statements are rendered to Swindon by A&M, all royalties
(net of expenses chargeable to Hodgson hereunder) payable to
Hodgson pursuant to paragraph 2.4 hereof, and (b) to permit
Hodgson to examine directly A&M's books and records on the same
terms and conditions as are applicable to Swindon under the
1977 Production Agreement. Such best efforts shall include
sending A&M a letter irrevocably authorizing and directing A&M
to make such direct payments and to grant such direct audit
rights, and attempting to get A&M to execute this Agreement in
the appropriate space below. If A&M agrees to make such direct
payments, the amount of chargeable expenses to be deducted from
each such payment shall be determined solely by the accountant
for Swindon (using his/her reasonable business judgment), who
shall advise A&M and Hodgson of such amount. If A&M does not
agree to make such direct payments, Swindon shall pay such
royalties to Hodgson within thirty (30) days after such royal-
ties are received by Swindon from A&M.
2.6 ROHOP and Hodgson acknowledge and agree that,
whenever Swindon's consent or approval is required under any
agreement between Swindon and a third party (including, without
limitation, any agreement between Swindon and A&M) relating to
the 1973 Masters and/or the 1977 Masters, such consent or
approval may be given or withheld by Swindon, in its sole and
arbitrary discretion, without the approval or consen~ of ROHOP
or Hodgson: provided, however, if Hodgson or his authorized
representative is available prior to the Approval Date, Swindon
shall use its best efforts to consult with Hodgson or such
authorized representative regarding any matter as to which such
consent or approval is required, but Swindon's inadvertent
failure to so consult with Hodgson shall not be deemed a breach
of this Agreement. As used in this paragraph 2.6, the term
"Approval Date" shall mean the date occurring three (3) days
before the last date on which Swindon has the right, pursuant
to its agreement with the third party, to grant or withhold its
consent or approval in respect of the particular matter: pro-
vided, if there is no such date specified in such agreement,
then the term "Approval Date" shall mean the date seven (7)
days after Swindon first attempts to consult with an authorized
representative of ROHOP.

3. Severance from Roadsweepers.

Hodgson hereby acknowledges prior receipt from Road-
sweepers, as additional compensation for services previously
rendered in connection with Supertramp personal appearance
engagements performed prior to the date hereof, of one-sixth
(1/6) of Roadsweepers' net income for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 1984, after payment by Roadsweepers of any personal
management commissions due in respect of such income. Hodgson
acknowledges and consents to the deduction by Roadsweepers from
Hodgson's share of such income of any and all loans and ad-
vances made to Hodgson by Roadsweepers prior to the date of
payment to Hodgson of his share of such income. All of the
parties hereto acknowledge that Hodgson was entitled to the "
additional compensation described in this paragraph 3 without
regard to the execution of this Agreement or the transfer to
Swindon of ROHOP's Shares.
4. Withdrawal from STC.
4.1 Effective as of September 30, 1983, Hodgson
shall be deemed to have withdrawn as a partner from STC.
Hodgson hereby acknowledges prior receipt from STC of one-
seventh (1/7) of STC's net income for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1983. Hodgson acknowledges and consents to the
deduction by STC from Hodgson's share of such income of any and
all loans and advances made to Hodgson by STC prior to the date
of payment to Hodgson of his share of such income.
4.2 As between STC, on the one hand, and Hodgson and
ROHOP, on the other hand, STC shall be entitled to physical
custody and possession of any and all audio, visual, and audio-
visual materials owned by STC and recorded and/or shot before
October 1 1983 {hereinafter referred to as "Pre-Valuation
Materials"). Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4.4 below,
STC shall have the right to exploit all Pre-Valuation Mater-
ials, without restriction, in any manner or medium as STC, in
its sole and arbitrary discretion, may determine; provided
however, those portions of the Pre-Valuation Materials in which
the camera focuses on Hodgson's performances as lead vocalist
shall not comprise more than twenty percent {20%) of the
running time of any television program in which STC uses {or
authorizes any third party to use) any Pre-Valuation
Materials. STC shall accord Hodgson appropriate credit in
connection with any exploitation by {or with the authority of)
STC of Pre-Valuation Materials which contain Hodgson's perfor-
mances. Within thirty (30) days after receipt by STC of the
applicable sums, STC shall pay Hodgson one-seventh (1/7) of the
PVM Net Income received by STC. As used in this paragraph 4,
"PVM Net Income" shall mean the gross sums received by the

1101841 -8-
Exploiting Party from its exploitation of the Pre-Valuation
Materials, less the costs and expenses described in paragraph
4.5 below. As used in this paragraph 4, the term "Exploiting
Party" shall mean STC, as to STC's exploitation of the Pre-
Valuation Materials, and Hodgson, as to Hodgson's exploitation
of the Pre-Valuation Materials.
4.3 Hodgson or his authorized representative shall
be given access to all Pre-Valuation Materials, at all reason-
able times, upon reasonable advance notice to STC. Hodgson
shall have the right to use and exploit (and to authorize third
parties to use and exploit), only for the purpose of inclusion
in a television program about Hodgson, only those portions of
the Pre-Valuation Materials which focus on Hodgson's perfor.;....
mances as lead vocalist, lead guitarist, or keyboardist; pro-
vided, however, the portions of the Pre-Valuation Materials
included in any such television program shall not comprise more
than twenty percent (20%) of the running time of such ,
program. Hodgson specifically acknowledges and agrees that "a
television program about Hodgson" shall not be deemed to
include (a) any advertisement or commercial relating to Hodgson
or any of his recording or performing activities, or (b) any
so-called "promotional video" or other audio-visual
reproduction intended primarily for promotional purposes. STC
shall permit Hodgson to have temporary custody, and to make (at
his sole cost and expense) and retain not more than two (2)
copies, of the portions of the Pre-Valuation Materials which
Hodgson desires to use, provided that Hodgson shall promptly
return any and all Pre-Valuation Materials of which he is given
temporary custody, in the same [Link] as when he received
them. Hodgson shall accord the other members of Supertramp
appropriate credit in connection with any use by Hodgson of the
Pre-Valuation Materials. Within thirty (30) days after receipt
by Hodgson of the applicable sums, Hodgson shall pay STC six-
sevenths (6/7) of the PVM Net Income received by Hodgson.
4.4 STC and Hodgson shall each use best efforts to
notify the other in writing whenever such party proposes to use
and/or exploit any Pre-Valuation Materials, and the party
receiving any such notice shall sign a copy thereof acknowledg-
ing receipt thereof. Whenever Hodgson proposes to use and/or
exploit any Pre-Valuation Materials in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph 4.3 above, and whenever STC proposes to
use and/or exploit any Pre-Valuation Materials which contain
Hodgson's performances, such party shall use its best efforts
to consult with the other party and provide the other party
with the opportunity to express such other party's opinions
regarding artistic matters in connection with such use and/or
exploitation; provided, however, (a) such other party shall
make himself/itself available at reasonable times upon reason-

1213841 -9-
able notice, (b) STC's decision regarding artistic matters in
connection with its use of the Pre-Valuation Materials shall be
final and controlling, (c) Hodgson's decision regarding artis-
tic matters in connection with his permitted use of the Pre-
Valuation Materi?tlS shall be final and controlling, and (d)
neither STC's nor Hodgson's inadvertent failure to so consult
with the other party shall be deemed a breach of this Agiee-
ment.
4.5 If any Pre-Valuation Materials are exploited in
combination with other audio and/or visual materials, the PVM
Net Income received by the Exploiting Party from the exploita-
tion of such combination shall be reduced by multiplying such
share by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the play~
ing time of the Pre-Valuation Materials used in such combina-
tion and the denominator of which shall be the total playi~g
time of such combination. All costs and expenses incurred by
the Exploiting Party in connection with the exploitatio~ of the
Pre-Valuation Materials (including, without limitation, costs
of editing, mixing, and otherwise preparing the Pre-Valuation
Materials for exploitation, whether alone or in combination
with other audio and/or visual materials, and all legal, ac-
counting and other expenses incurred by the Exploiting Party in
connection with such exploitation), shall be deducted by the
Exploiting Party in calculating the PVM Net Income received by
the Exploiting Party.
4.6 All payments to Hodgson pursuant to paragraphs
4.1 and 4.2 hereof shall be treated as payments of Hodgson's
distributive share of STC's income, as described in Section
736(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended from
time to time.
5. Withdrawal from EQU.
5.1 Effective as of September 30, 1983, Hodgson
shall be deemed to have withdrawn as a partner from EQU.
Hodgson acknowledges and approves the transfer by EQU to
Delicate Production Company ("DPC"), prior to the date hereof,
of all right, title and interest in and to approximately Ninety
Thousand Dollars ($90,000) of equipment owned by EQU in payment
of amounts owed by STC to DPC. Hodgson acknowledges that EQU
received appropriate and adequate consideration from STC for
such transfer to DPC. In complete satisfaction of Hodgson's
interest in EQU, EQU shall pay Hodgson one-seventh (1/7) of the
Net Fair Market Value, as of September 30, 1984, of the remain-
ing equipment owned by EQU as of March 31, 1984. The fair
market value of such remaining equipment shall be determined on
or before December 31, 1984 by sale or by an appraiser selected
by Paul Glass and approved by EQU, Hodgson and Pope (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), which appraiser

1101841 -10-
shall be a person with substantial knowledge of musical equip-
ment. Such appraiser's determination of fair market value
shall be binding upon Hodgson. In determining fair market
value, such appraiser shall assume that the equipment must be
sold within a reasonable period of time and shall not assume
that there is an unlimited amount of time within which to sell
such equipment. "Net Fair Market Value", as used herein, means
the fair market value less estimated selling costs and ex-
penses.
5.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary con-
tained in paragraph 5.1 above:
(a) If Hodgson desires to have EQU transfer to
him, in partial or total satisfaction of Hodgson's interest in
EQU, title to certain items of equipment owned by EQU, Hodgson
shall notify EQU in writing of such desire within sixty (60)
days after the date hereof (the "Equipment Notice"), and
Hodgson shall specify in such notice the particular items of
equipment which he desires to acquire (the "Selecte~ Items").
(b) Within thirty (30) days after EQU's receipt
from Hodgson of the Equipment Notice, EQU shall decide (and
shall notify Hodgson in writing of its decision), in its sole
and arbitrary discretion, which Selected Items, if any, it is
willing to sell to Hodgson. EQU shall execute a bill of sale
or other instrument evidencing transfer to Hodgson of all
right, title and interest in and to any Selected Items which
EQU notifies Hodgson it is willing to sell to Hodgson. The Net
Fair Market Value of the Selected Items, if any, which EQU
notifies Hodgson it is willing to sell to Hodgson shall be
deducted from the payment required to be made to Hodgson pursu-
ant to paragraph 5.1 above.
5.3 All payments to Hodgson pursuant to paragraph
5.1 hereof shall be treated as payments for Hodgson's interest
in EQU's property, as described in Section 736(b) of the In-
ternal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended from time to time.
6. Costs and Expenses.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, Hodgson and ROHOP expressly acknowledge and
agree that all amounts payable to them pursuant to this Agree-
ment shall be net of, and the entities obligated to pay such
amounts (each such entity is hereinafter in this paragraph 6
referred to as a "Responsible Entity") shall be entitled to
deduct therefrom, Hodgson's or ROHOP's (as the case may be)
Applicable Share (as hereinafter defined) of the following
costs and expenses: (a) all reasonable and necessary costs and

1101841 -11-
expenses incurred by the Responsible Entity in connection with
all of its business and affairs conducted prior to October 1,
1983; and (b) all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses
incurred by the Responsible Entity in connection with the.
generation, collection, and distribution, after September 30,
1983, of all monies payable to or received by the Responsible
Entity and a portion of which is payable to Hodgson or ROHOP
hereunder. The "reasonable and necessary costs and expenses"
referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence
shall include, without limitation, all legal and accounting
fees (other than legal and accounting fees incurred in connec-
tion with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement),
personal management commissions, business management commis-
sions, insurance, taxes, and audit expenses [whether the audit
is an audit of a third party conducted by the Responsible
Entity, or is an audit of the Responsible Entity conducted by a
third party (e.g., an audit by the Internal Revenue Ser~-
vice)]. As used in this paragraph 6, the term "Applicable
Share" shall mean, with respect to a particular Responsible
Entity, the percentage of such Responsible Entity's_ income
which Hodgson or ROHOP (as the case may be) is entitled to
receive pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
7. Music Publishing Income.
7.1 For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Net
Music Publishing Income" shall mean gross music publishing
income (including publisher's and writer's shares) less applic-
able expenses described in paragraph 6 hereof. Hodgson shall
continue to receive from Delicate, in perpetuity: (a) twenty-
seven percent (27%) of the Net Music Publishing Income received
by Delicate from the exploitation of all musical compositions
embodied on all Supertramp long-playing record albums released
prior to the release of the album entitled "Famous Last Words"
("Pre-FLW Compositions"); and (b) thirty-two and fifteen hun-
dredths percent (32.15%) of the Net Music Publishing Income
received by Delicate from the exploitation of all musical
compositions embodied on the Supertramp record album entitled
"Famous Last Words" ("FLW Compositions"). Pre-FLW Compositions
and FLW Compositions are hereinafter sometimes collectively
referred to as "Delicate Compositions". Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in the Publish-
ing Memorandum, if any Delicate Composition is exploited on a
recording other than a Pre-Valuation Master, a 1977 Master, or
a 1973 Master (such recording is hereinafter referred to in
this paragraph 7.1 as a "Cover Recording"): (i) if the Cover
Recording features the performance of a recording artist other
than Supertramp (such Cover Recording is hereinafter referred
to in this paragraph 7.1 as an "Outside Cover Recording"),
Hodgson shall be entitled to receive from Delicate, in

1101842 -12-
perpetuity, fifty percent (50%) of the Net Music Publishing
Income received by Delicate from the exploitation of such
Outside Cover Recording; (ii) if the Cover Recording features
the performance of Supertramp (such Cover Recording is herein-
after referred to in this paragraph 7.1 as a "Supertramp Cover
Recording"), Hodgson shall be entitled to receive from _
Delicate, in perpetuity, the Adjusted Percentage (as herein-
after defined) of the Net Music Publishing Income received by
Delicate from the exploitation of such Supertramp Cover Re-
cording; and (iii) all public performance income received by
Delicate with respect to such Delicate Composition which cannot
be specifically attributed to the public performance of a
particular recorded version of such Delicate Composition shall
be allocated by Delicate's accountant in good faith to each
recorded version (including the Pre-Valuation Master, the 1977
Master, or the 1973 Master) of such Delicate Composition. As
used in this paragraph 7.1, the term "Adjusted Percentage"
shall mean Hodgson's applicable percentage set forth [Link]
(a) or (b) of this paragraph 7.1, plus an additional percen-
tage, if any (the "Additional Percentage"), computed as fol-
lows: (A) if the Supertramp Cover Recording embodies a Pre-FLW
Composition, then, to the extent any one or more of Davies,
Helliwell, Siebenberg, Thomson and Margereson does not partici-
pate in Delicate's Net Music Publishing Income from exploita-
tion of such Supertramp Cover Recording, the Additional Percen-
tage shall equal the percentage such non-participating person
or persons would otherwise have received pursuant to the Pub-
lishing Memorandum multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be twenty-seven percent (27%) and the denominator
of which shall be the aggregate percentage participations of
each of Davies, Hodgson, Helliwell, Siebenberg, Thomson and
Margereson who does participate in Delicate's Net Music Pub-
lishing Income from exploitation of such Supertramp Cover
Recording; (B) if the Supertramp Cover Recording embodies an
FLW Composition, then to the extent any one or more of Davies,
Helliwell, Siebenberg, Thomson, Pope and Margereson does not
participate in Delicate's Net Music Publishing Income fro~
exploitation of such Supertramp Cover Recording, the Additional
Percentage shall equal the percentage such non-participating
person or persons would otherwise have received pursuant to the
Publishing Memorandum multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be thirty-two and fifteen hundredths percent
(32.15%) and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate
percentage participations of each of Davies, Hodgson,
Helliwell, Siebenberg, Thomson, Pope and Margereson who does
participate in Delicate's Net Music Publishing Income f r ~
exploitation of such Supertramp Cover Recording.
7.2 (a) Hodgson hereby acknowledges and agrees
that, except as set forth in paragraph 8.6 below, he does not

1101842 -13-
have and shall not claim any economic or other interest in any
musical composition not written (in whole or in part) by him
which composition is recorded by Supertramp (or by any one or
more of the persons. heretofore or hereafter comprising the
group Supertramp) after the Valuation Date ("Post-Valuation
Composition"). Any Post-Valuation Composition written by a
member of Supertramp (other than Hodgson) is hereinafter ·some-
times referred to as a "New Supertramp Composition".
(b) Davies, Helliwell, Siebenberg and Thomson
hereby acknowledge and agree that none of them shall have, and
none of them shall claim, any economic or other interest in any
musical composition written (in whole or in part) by Hodgson
and not recorded by Supertramp prior to the Valuation Date.
7.3 Delicate shall use its best efforts to obtain
the agreement of Almo Music Corp. ("Almo") (a) to pay directly
to Hodgson, at the same time statements are rendered to,
Delicate by Almo, all monies (net of expenses chargeable to
Hodgson hereunder) payable to Hodgson pursuant to paragraph 7.1
hereof, and (b) to permit Hodgson to examine direct~y Almo's
books and records on the same terms and conditions as are
applicable to Delicate under the Administration Agreement
between Almo and Delicate, dated as of January 1, 1981. Such
best efforts shall include sending Almo a letter irrevocably
authorizing and directing Almo to make such direct payments and
to grant such direct audit rights, and attempting to get Almo
to execute this Agreement in the appropriate space below. If
Alme agrees to make such direct payments, the correct amount of
each such payment, and the amount of chargeable expenses to be
deducted from each such payment, shall ·be determined solely by
the accountant for Delicate. (using his/her reasonable business
judgment), who shall advise Almo and Hodgson of such amounts.
If Alme does not agree to make such direct payments, Delicate
shall pay such monies to Hodgson within thirty (30) days after
such monies are received by Delicate from Alme.
7.4 Hodgson shall establish a new music publishing
company to own musical compositions written (in whole or in
part) by him, other than the Delicate Compositions. Davies
shall establish a new music publishing company to own musical
compositions written (in whole or in part) by him, other than
the Delicate Compositions ("Davies New Publishing Company").
Davies and Hodgson agree that Delicate shall continue in busi-
ness, and shall not be dissolved notwithstanding the death or
disability of either of them, until the expiration of all
copyrights (including renewal terms) owned (in whole or in
part) by Delicate. Davies and Hodgson agree that, whenever
Delicate's consent or approval is required under any agreement
between Delicate and a third party (including, without limita-

1101841 -14-
' '

tion, any agreement between Delicate and Almo), such consent or

approval may be given or withheld only by whichever of Davies
or Hodgson actually wrote the major portion of the Delicate
Composition as to which such consent or approval is sought, or
by such person's authorized representative. Attached her~to as
Exhibit "A" is a schedule of the titles of all Delicate Compo-
sitions showing the actual writer(s) of each composition.
7.5 Immediately upon receipt by Hodgson or his
representatives of any monies representing the writer's share
of public performance income derived from exploitation of the
Delicate Compositions (whether such income is received from a
public performance society such as ASCAP, or from any other
source except Delicate), Hodgson shall pay over to Delicate
(and shall endorse any and all checks and drafts necessary to
effect such payment over to Delicate) any and all such .
monies. Upon receipt by Delicate, all such monies shall' be
included in the calculation of Delicate's Net Music Publishing
Income from the exploitation of the Delicate Compositions. If
any such monies are received by Hodgson as part of a single
payment [Link] includes performance income from musical composi-
tions other than Delicate Compositions ("Other Hodgson Composi-
tions"), Hodgson shall nevertheless immediately pay over to
Delicate the full amount of such payment if, but only if, Paul
w. Glass ("Glass") or another person approved by Hodgson_("Ap-
proved Substitute") is, at the time Hodgson receives such
payment, the accountant for Delicate. In such event,
Delicate's accountant shall promptly calculate the amount of
such payment which is allocable to Other Hodgson Compositions
and shall promptly pay such amount back to Hodgson. If, at the
time Hodgson receives such payment, Glass or an Approved Sub-
stitute is not the accountant for Delicate, Hodgson shall have
the right to retain the full amount of such payment, and the
portion thereof allocable to Delicate Compositions shall be
credited by Delicate against monies otherwise payable to
Hodgson pursuant to paragraph 7.1 hereof.
7.6 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if either Davies' or Hodgson's
twenty-seven percent (27%) share of Delicate's Net Music Pub-
lishing Income from the exploitation of Pre-FLW Compositions,
and/or if Davies' or Hodgson's thirty-two and fifteen hun-
dredths percent (32.15%) share of Delicate's Net Music Publish-
ing Income from the exploitation of FLW Compositions, increases
for any reason (other than by gift, bequest, inheritance opera-
tion of law, or _court decree) at any time after the date hereof
(e.g., by reason of such party's purchase of all or a portion
of another person's interest in such income), whichever of
Davies or Hodgson whose share of such income did not so in-
crease shall have the right to acquire from the other of them

1101841 -15-
. , .
fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which such other party's
share of such income increased over the share owned by such
other party immediately prior to the increase. [By way of
example, if Davies' twenty-seven percent (27%) share of
Delicate's Net Music Publishing Income from the exploitation of
Pre-FLW Compositions increases on January 1, 1986 to thirty-
seven percent (37%) by reason of purchase from another peison,
Hodgson shall have the right to acquire from Davies fifty
percent (50%) of the ten percent (10%) increase in Davies'
share. If Hodgson elects to acquire such additional five
percent (5%), thus leaving Davies with a thirty-two percent
(32%) share, and if Davies' thirty-two percent (32%) share
again increases on June 30, 1987 to forty percent (40%) by
reason of purchase from another person, Hodgson shall have the
right to acquire from Davies fifty percent (50%) of the eight.
percent (8%) increase in Davies' share.]
- ,

{b) Davies and Hodgson shall each give the

other written notice of any increase in such party's share of
Delicate's Net Music Publishing Income from the exploitation of
Pre-FLW Compositions, and/or from the exploitation of FLW
Compositions, within fifteen (15) days after the effective date
of any such increase. Such notice (the "Increase Offer
Notice") shall offer to the other party (the "Increase
Offeree") the right to acquire the percentage share described
in subparagraph 7.6(a) above for a price equal to one-half
(1/2) of the amount (if any) paid by the offering party (the
"Increase Offering Party") for one hundred percent (100%) of
the increase which gives rise to the offer. The Increase
Offeree shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the In-
crease Offer Notice in which to notify the Increase Offering
Party whether or not the Increase Offeree desires to acquire
such percentage share at the price and pursuant to the terms
set forth in the Increase Offer Notice (which terms shall be
consistent with the terms of payment pursuant to which the
Increase Offering Party acquired the increase giving rise tq
the offer). If the Increase Offeree fails to give the Increase
Offering Party written notice within said thirty (30) day
period that the Increase Offeree is exercising its right to
acquire the offered percentage share at the price and pursuant
to the terms set forth in the Increase Offer Notice, such right
shall be deemed waived and the Increase Offering Party shall be
entitled to retain one hundred percent (100%) of the increase
which gave rise to the offer as if no such right had been
available to the Increase Offeree.
7.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary con-
tained in this Agreement, neither Davies nor Hodgson shall
sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any interest in
or to Delicate, or any interest in or to the copyright of any

1101841 -16-
Delicate Composition, to any person other than _Family Members
(as defined in paragraph 14.5 below) without first offering to
the other of them (i.e., Davies offering to Hodgson, or Hodgson
offering to Davies) the right to buy or acquire such interest
at the same bona fide price, and pursuant to the same bona fide
terms concerning the manner and time of payment only [it peing
understood and agreed that the party to whom such interest is
offered (the ''Delicate Offeree'') shall not have to match any
other terms], as may be offered to the party (the "Delicate
Offering Party") making such offer to the Delicate Offeree by
any responsible and unaffiliated third person, which terms may,
however, only provide for payment of cash in a lump sum or in
installments. The Delicate Offering Party shall give the
Delicate Offeree prompt written notice (the "Delicate Offer
Notice") of any such bona fide and acceptable offer described
above (which Delicate Offer Notice shall set forth the name of
the prospective purchaser, the price, and all other terms of
such offer), and the Delicate Offeree shall have thirty, (30)
days after receipt of the Delicate Offer Notice in which to
notify the Delicate Offering Party whether or not the Delicate
Offeree desires to buy or acquire such interest in or to
Delicate, or in or to the copyright of such Delicate Composi-
tion, at the price and pursuant to the terms set forth in the
Delicate Offer Notice. If the Delicate Offeree fails to give
the Delicate Offering Party written notice within said thirty
(30) day petiod that the. Delicate Offeree is exercising its
right to buy or acquire such interest, the Delicate Offering
Party shall have the right to accept the bona fide offer by the
prospective purchaser, but only as set forth in the Delicate
Offer Notice; provided, however, if the Delicate Offering Party
does not accept such bona fide offer from such prospective
purchaser within sixty (60) days after expiration of said
thirty (30) day period, the procedure set forth in this para-
graph 7.7 shall again be followed by the Delicate Offering
Party before the Delicate Offering Party may dispose of such
interest in or to Delicate, or in or to the copyright of such
Delicate Composition.
8. Greatest Hits Albums.
The following provisions shall apply to any "Best Of"
or "Greatest Hits" type of album, featuring the performances of
Supertramp, to be released by A&M after the date hereof (a
"Greatest Hits Album"):
8.1 The parties hereto contemplate the release of
the first such Greatest Hits Album (the "First Greatest Hits
Album") at some time during calendar year 1985. However, ROHOP
and Hodgson acknowledge and agree that the actual date of
release of the First Greatest Hits Album shall be determined by

1101841 -17-
mutual agreement of A&M and Supertramp Partnership, and such
release date may occur later than calendar year 1985.
8.2 ROHOP and Hodgson shall be entitled to share in
the royalties [Link] by Supertramp Partnership and Swindon
from sales of a Greatest Hits Album as follows:
(a) With respect to any and all 1973 Masters
and/or 1977 Masters contained on a Greatest Hits Album, Hodgson
shall receive royalties in accordance with the provisions of

ing a New Supertramp Composition, contained on the First
Greatest Hits Album in addition to the Supertramp/Davies-_New

8.7 Without limiting the generality of the provi-
sions of paragraph 7.2 above, Hodgson acknowledges and agrees
that, in all events, he shall not have, and shall not claim,

a.a Hodgson shall have the right, but not the obli-
gation, to submit to Supertramp Partnership, specifically for
inclusion on the First Greatest Hits Album, a musical composi-
tion, written solely by Hodgson and not released (or recorded
by any person for release) in any medium (including, without
limitation, phonorecords, motion pictures, or television) prior
to the date of Hodgson's submission (such composition is herein
sometimes referred to as a "Hodgson New Song"). Such right may
be exercised by Hodgson at any time after January 1, 1985, but
not later than thirty (30) days after written request by Super-
tramp Partnership that Hodgson submit the Hodgson New Song.
Davies shall have the right, but not the obligation, to submit
to Supertramp Partnership, specifically for inclusion· on the
First Greatest Hits Album, a musical composition, written
solely by Davies and not released (or recorded by any person
for release) in any medium (including, without limitation,
phonorecords, motion pictures, or television) prior to the date
of Davies' submission (such composition is herein sometimes
referred to as a "Davies New Song"). Such right may be exer-
cised by Davies at any time after January 1, 1985, but not
later than thirty (30) days after written request by Supertramp
Partnership that Davies submit the Davies New Song. The
Hodgson New Song and the Davies New Song (hereinafter sometimes
collectively referred to as the "New Songs") shall each be

1101841 -20-
submitted in the form of a demonstration tape recording con-
taining both music and vocals.
8.9 Davies and Hodgson, together with the other per-
sons who are performing members of the group Supertramp at the
time the New Songs are to be recorded for inclusion on the
First Greatest Hits Album, shall comprise the "Evaluation
Group" which shall determine, by a majority vote, whether the
Hodgson New Song and the Davies New Song (if any) are accept-
able for recording and inclusion on the First Greatest Hits
Album. With respect to each New Song submitted to Supertramp
Partnership, the Evaluation Group shall make such determination
within fourteen (14) days after the submission of such New
Song; any New Song not rejected by the Evaluation Group within
such fourteen (14)-day period shall be deemed accepted by the
Evaluation Group. Any New Song accepted by the Evaluation
Group shall be recorded by the Evaluation Group promptly after
acceptance without the participation of any other perfo'rmers or
musicians (unless a majority of the Evaluation Group decides
otherwise), and shall be recorded in a top-quality recording
studio locpted within the State of California. Hodgson shall
select the studio where the Hodgson New Song shall be recorded,
and Davies shall select the studio where the Davies New Song
shall be recorded. The master recording of the Davies New Song
embodying the performances of the Evaluation Group is herein
sometimes referred to as the "Supertramp/Davies New Master".
The master recording of the Hodgson New Song embodying the
performances of the Evaluation Group is herein sometimes re-
ferred to as the "Supertramp/Hodgson New Master".
8.10 If the Evaluation Group determines that a New
Song is not acceptable for recording and inclusion on the First
Greatest Hits Album, the writer of such New Song shall have
fourteen (14) days after receipt of written notice from a
representative of the Evaluation Group rejecting such New Song
within which to submit to Supertramp Partnership a second New
Song. This process shall be repeated until the earlier of (a)
the acceptance by the Evaluation Group of a New Song from the
writer thereof for recording and inclusion on the First
Greatest Hits Album, or (b) seventy-five (75) days after Super-
tramp Partnership first requests submission of a Hodgson New
Song. If, seventy-five (75) days after Supertramp Partnership
first requests submission of a Hodgson New Song, the Evaluation
Group has not accepted a Hodgson New Song (if Hodgson submits
one) and/or has not accepted a Davies New Song (if Davies
submits one), the New Songs submitted by Davies (if a Davies
New Song has been submitted and not accepted) and/or by Hodgson
(if a Hodgson New Song has been submitted and not accepted)
shall be submitted to A&M Chairman Jerry Moss, or his designee
(Moss or his designee are hereinafter referred to as "Moss"),

1101841 -21-
for his evaluation. Any Davies New Song submitted to and
selected by Moss for recording and inclusion on the First
Greatest Hits Album shall be recorded by the Evaluation Group
and included on the First Greatest Hits Album. Any Hodgson New
Song submitted t~ and selected by Moss for recording and inclu-
sion on the First Greatest Hits Album shall be recorded by the
Evaluation Group and included on the First Greatest Hits Album.
8.11 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary con-
tained in this Agreement or elsewhere, the Supertramp/Hodgson
New Master shall, for all purposes, be deemed a master deli-
vered to A&M by Supertramp Partnership under and pursuant to
the 1981 Production Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the provisions of paragraph 1.6 hereof shall
be applicable to the Supertramp/Hodgson New Master. ·
8.12 If a Hodgson New Song is embQdied in a Super-
tramp/Hodgson New Master which is contained on the First
Greatest Hits Album, then, if and to the extent Supe~tramp
Partnership has the right, pursuant to the 1981 Production
Agreement, to designate or approve the master recordings to be
included on any "single" record derived from the First Greatest
Hits Album, such right shall be exercised by a majority vote of
the Evaluation Group.
8.13 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary con-
tained in this Agreement, the parties specifically acknowledge
and agree:
(a) Whether or not Hodgson submits a Hodgson
New Song to Supertramp Partnership, Davies shall not be obli-
gated to submit a Davies New Song to Supertramp Partnership.
(b) If Hodgson elects not to submit a Hodgson
New Song to Supertramp Partnership in accordance [Link] .
provisions of paragraph 8.8 or 8.10 above, or if Hodgson does
not submit a Hodgson New Song to Supertramp Partnership within
the time periods specified in paragraph 8.8 or 8.10 above, or
if a Hodgson New Song is not accepted, in accordance with the
provisions of paragraphs 8.9 and 8.10 hereof, for recording and
inclusion on the First Greatest Hits Album, or if Hodgson
refuses or fails to perform as part of the Evaluation Group on
the master recording of any New Song which is intended for
inclusion on the First Greatest Hits Album, then, in any of
such events, neither Hodgson nor ROHOP shall be entitled to any
of the benefits set forth in paragraphs 8.3, 8.5, or 8.6 above.
9. Audit Rights.
9.1 At any time within the Audit Period (as herein-
after defined) relating to any royalty statement or other

1101842 -22-
account rendered by Supertramp Partnership, Swindon, STC,
Roadsweepers, EQU or Delicate (whichever of the foregoing
entities renders such royalty statement or account is herein-
after in this paragraph 9 referred to as the "Supertramp
Entity") hereunder, ROHOP or Hodgson (whichever of them is the
recipient of such royalty statement or account; such recipient
is hereinafter referred to in this paragraph 9 .1 and in p·ara-
graphs 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 as "Hodgson'') shall have the right to
examine the books and records of the Supertramp Entity with
respect to such statement. Such examination (a) shall only be
conducted after at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice
to the Supertramp Entity, (b) shall be commenced at a mutually
convenient time, and (c) shall be conducted at Hodgson's sole
cost and expense by an independent certified public accountant
or other qualified representative designated by Hodgson. Such
examination shall be made during the Supertramp Entity's usual
business hours at the place where the Supertramp Entity-main-
tains the books and records that are necessary to verif, the
accuracy of the royalty statements and/or other accounts speci-
fied in Hodgson's notice to the Supertramp Entity, and
Hodgson's examination shall be limited to the foregoing.
Hodgson's sole right to inspect the Supertramp Entity's books
and records shall be as set forth in this paragraph 9.1. No
Supertramp Entity shall have any obligation to make available
any such books and records more than once with respect to each
royalty statement or other account rendered hereunder, or more
than once during any calendar year.
9.2 All royalty statements and other accounts ren-
dered by a Supertramp Entity shall be binding upon Hodgson and
shall not be subject to any objection for any reason unless
specific objection is made by Hodgson, by written notice to the
Supertramp Entity stating the basis thereof, within the Audit
Period. Unless notice is given to the Supertramp Entity as
provided in this paragraph 9.2, each royalty statement and
other account rendered by the Supertramp Entity shall be final,
conclusive, and binding upon Hodgson, and shall constitute an
account stated. Hodgson shall be foreclosed from maintaining
any action, claim or proceeding against any of the Supertramp
Parties (as defined in paragraph 10.1 below) in any forum or
tribunal with respect to any royalty statement or account due
hereunder unless (a) written notice is made to the Supertramp
Entity as provided in this paragraph 9.2 and (b) such action,
claim or proceeding is commenced against the Supertramp Entity
in a court of competent jurisdiction within the Litigation
Period.
9.3 Hodgson shall be entitled to receive his appro-
priate share of any monies recovered by a Supertramp Entity as
a result of an audit of the books and records of A&M, Almo, or

1101841 -23-
any other person from whom the Supertramp Entity receives
royalties or other payments (hereinafter in this paragraph 9
referred to as a "Third-Party Payor''). Hodgson shall have the
right, at his sole cost and expense, to join any audit con-
ducted by a Supe~tramp Entity of A&M, Almo or any Third-Party
Payor, but all decisions with respect to the conduct of such
audit and the settlement thereof shall be within the sole
discretion of the Supertramp Entity conducting such audit.
9.4 As used in paragraphs 9.1 and 9.2 above:
(a) The term "Audit Period" shall mean: (i)
with respect to any statement or account which relates to
royalties or other monies received by the Supertramp Entity
from A&M or Almo, the period of time beginning upon the date
such statement or account is rendered to Hodgson and ending six
(6) months before the end of the period of time within which
the Supertramp Entity has the right to object to statem~nts and
accounts rendered by A&M or Almo, as applicable; (ii) with
respect to any statement or account which relates to royalties
or other monies received by the Supertramp Entity from any
third party other than A&M and Almo, eighteen (18) months after
the date such statement or account is rendered.
(b) The term "Litigation Period" shall mean the
period of time beginning upon the date a statement or account
is rendered to Hodgson and ending six (6) months after the end
of the applicable Audit Period.
9.5 At any time within the Audit Period relating to
any accounting rendered and/or payment ·made to STC by Hodgson
pursuant to paragraph 4.3 hereof, STC shall have the right to
examine the books and records of ROHOP or Hodgson (whichever of
them is the person rendering such accounting or payment; such
person is hereinafter referred to in this paragraph 9.5 as
"Hodgson") with respect to such statement and/or payment. All
of paragraph 9.1 hereof after the first sentence thereof, as
well as the provisions of paragraphs 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4, shall
apply with respect to accountings and payments from Hodgson to
STC. For purposes of applying such provisions to the account-
ings and payments made by Hodgson to STC, the word "Hodgson"
shall be substituted for the words "the Supertramp Entity", the
term "STC" shall be substituted for the word "Hodgson", and the
words "Hodgson or ROHOP" shall be substituted for the words
"Supertramp Parties".
9.6 As used in paragraph 4.05 of the Supertramp
Partnership Agreement, and in paragraphs 1.4, 2.4, 2.5, 4.2,
7.1, 7.3, and 8.3 hereof, the words "received by the Partner-
ship," "received by Supertramp Partnership," "received by

1101841 -24-
Swindon," "received by STC," and "received by Delicate" shall
be interpreted specifically to exclude monies otherwise payable
to those entities (hereinafter referred to in this paragraph
9.6 as the "Supertramp Entities" or, in the singular, as a
"Supertramp [Link]") but which are withheld by any third party
not directly or indirectly affiliated with any of the _
Supertramp Entities (each such third party is referred to in
this paragraph 9.6 as a "Third Party Payor"). If, when, and to
the extent that any such withheld sums are paid to any of the
Supertramp Entities, such sums shall thereafter be deemed to be
monies received by such Supertramp Entity. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Third Party Payor withholds any monies other-
wise payable to a Supertramp Entity ("Payable Monies"), other
than monies which are withheld based on a breach or alleged
breach prior to the Valuation Date of a Third Party Payer's
rights or any other third party's rights, the Payable Monies so
withheld shall be deemed to have been received by the appro-
priate Supertramp Entity -(whether or not such Payable Monies
are in fact received by such Supertramp Entity) on the earlier
of (a) the date nine (9) months after the date such Payable
Monies were originally withheld or (b) the date such Payable
Monies are· actually paid to such Supertramp Entity.

Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as
follows:

Parties hereby consent to the representation by ECJ of the
Supertramp Parties in connection with the preparation of°· this

13.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary con-
tained in this Agreement or in the Supertramp Partnership
Agreement, goijOP and or Hod son shall have the right to use the
name S<JPERTRAMP (the "Name so ,
~:-<-•- ( the "Phrase"), subject to and in strict compliance
~~i.j,...J~-

with the following provisions;__ ___

1101841 -30-
 {a) le Name shall not be used lone or to-
gether with any words other than "formerly of"; provided,
however, (i) use by third parties prior to the date hereof of
the words "Ex-Supertramp" shall not be deemed a breach of this
Agreement, and (ii) in languages other than English, the Name
may be used with words which translate as "formerly of" or the
functional equivalent of "formerly of".
{b) The Name and the Phrase shall not appear
in any size of type larger than one-third (1/3) of the size of
type used for the largest version of Hodgson's name appearing
in or on any printed matter, or on billboards, signs or other
display advertising, or on marquees or signs inside or outside
any concert hall or other site of a personal appearance by
Hodgson.
(c) The Name shall not appear in any of the.
stylized forms shown in Exhibit "C" attached hereto ("Prior
Styles") or in any stylized form substantially similar to the
Prior Styles.
{d) Any use by ROHOP and/or Hodgson of the
Name and/or the Phrase which is not in strict compliance with
the provisions of subparagraphs 13.l{a), (b) and (c) above
shall require the express prior written consent of Supertramp
Partnership, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld for any
reason.
(e) ROHOP and Hodgson shall use their best
efforts to ensure strict compliance by third parties with the
provisions of this paragraph 13.1. Such best efforts shall
include, but are not limited to, (i) advising third parties in
writing of the restrictions contained in this paragraph 13.1 if
ROHOP and/or Hodgson (or their authorized representatives) have
reason to believe such third parties are likely to use the Name
in connection with Hodgson's activities, and (ii) setting forth
the restrictions contained in this paragraph 13.1 in any con-
tract or agreement relating to a personal appearance by
Hodgson.
13.2 ROHOP and Hodgson acknowledge the worldwide
fame, outstanding reputation, and enormous goodwill associated
with the Name. ROHOP and Hodgson further acknowledge that the
Name is a registered servicemark and/or trademark of Supertramp
Partnership in the United States and other countries. The
parties acknowledge the well-established principle of trademark
law that trademark infringement, because it subjects the repu-
tation of the trademark owner to the consequences of conduct by
another, by its very nature causes the trademark owner irrepar-
able harm entitling the trademark owner to injunctive relief.
ROHOP and Hodgson acknowledge that the Name and the goodwill
associated therewith are of a special, unique, unusual and
extraordinary character which gives the Name a peculiar value,
the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compen-
sated by damages in any action at law, and that a breach by

1213841 -31-
 •
R0H0P and/or Hodgson of any of the prov1s1ons of paragraph 13.1
hereof will cause Supertramp Partnership and the other
Supertramp Parties great and irreparable injury and damage.
R0H0P and Hodgson agree that Supertramp Partnership and the
other Supertramp Parties shall be entitled to injunctive and
other equitable relief, in addition to whatever legal remedies
are available to such persons, to prevent or cure any such
breach or threatened breach by R0H0P and/or Hodgson here-
under.
14. Sale of Supertramp Name.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement or in the Supertramp Partnership Agreement, if
the Name is sold solely under the circumstances described in··
paragraph 14.1 or 14.2 below, R0H0P shall be entitled to re-
ceive a portion of the proceeds of such sale,in accordance with
the following provisions:
14.1 If Supertramp Partnership, as constituted as of
the date hereof (i.e., RDAP, P.A.R.P., RSIP and DTOP), sells,
assigns or· transfers the Name to any person who is not one of
the Supertramp Parties, R0H0P shall be entitled to receive, as
and when received by Supertramp Partnership, twenty percent
(20%) of the proceeds of such sale, assignment or transfer.

14.2 If RDAP or Davies acquires one hundred percent

(100%) of the ownership of the Name from Supertramp Partner-
ship, and such person thereafter sells, assigns, or transfers
the Name to any person who is not one of the Supertramp
Parties, R0H0P shall be entitled to receive, as and when re-
ceived by RDAP or Davies (as the case may be), fifty percent
(50%) of the proceeds of such sale, assignment or transfer.

14.3 If the Name is sold, assigned or transferred

together with any other asset or assets in a transaction which
is subject to the provisions of paragraph 14.1 or 14.2 above,
R0H0P shall be entitled to its percentage only of the portion
of the sale proceeds specifically allocated to the Name by the
Seller (as defined below). The allocation of the sale proceeds
between the Name and the other assets sold shall be made by the
Seller in the Seller's sole and arbitrary discretion, and such
allocation shall be binding upon R0H0P. R0H0P specifically
acknowledges and agrees that the Seller shall not be obligated
to allocate to the Name any specific portion of the sale pro-
ceeds. As used in this paragraph 14, the term "Seller" shall
mean Supertramp Partnership, RDAP, or Davies, as applicable.

1101841 -32-
 e
14.4 ROHOP and Hodgson specifically acknowledge and
agree that: (a) the Seller shall not have any duty or obliga-
tion whatsoever to ROHOP or Hodgson (i) to sell the Name at any
time, or (ii) to obtain the highest price or best terms avail-
able upon sale of the Name, or (iii) to obtain any minimum
amount of compensation for the sale of the Name; (b) the price
at which and the terms on which the Name is sold shall be
determined by the Seller in the Seller's sole and arbitrary
discretion, and shall be binding upon ROHOP; and (c) the Seller
shall not have any duty of good faith or fair dealing to ROHOP
or Hodgson with respect to the sale of the Name.
14.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary con-
tained herein, neither ROHOP nor Hodgson shall be entitled to
receive any monetary compensation or other consideration in ·
connection with any assignment, transfer or conveyance of any
rights in or to the Name: (a) to any Family_Members; (b)~
.,.[Link]..t:.t_ramp Partnership if, at the time of such assignment..,
- transfer or conveyance, there are more, less or differ~nt
12_artners than as of the date hereof; or , ( c) which occuis by
reason of death, disability, gift, bequest, marital· dissolu-
tion, operation of law or court decree. As used in this para-

sisters of any of the persons named in clause (i); (iii) the

(i); (vi) the estate of any of the persons described in clauses
(i) through (v); (vii) any trust established for the benefit of
any of the persons described in clauses (i) through (v). As
used in paragraph 7.7 above, the term "Family Members" shall
have the same meaning as in this paragraph 14.5, except that
the only persons named in clause (i) shall be Davies and
Hodgson (and not Helliwell, Siebenberg, or Thomson).
