Re: Megadeth -Virtual Reality Concert

Gentlemen:

Whereas, Next Galaxy Corp. ("NGC") has developed a "virtual reality" platform (the "VR Platform") whereby consumers can view audio-visual content in 3D from their smartphones through NGC's CEEK application (the "App") when the smartphone is inserted into NGC's patented "goggle box" (the "VR Headset");

Whereas, Universal Music Enterprises, A Division of UMG Recordings, Inc. ("UME") is a party to an exclusive recording agreement with Dave Mustaine p/kla "Megadeth" (the "Artist") and pursuant to such agreement will be releasing the album entitled "Dystopia" (the "Album");

Whereas, NGC desires to record a live concert (the "VR Concert") featuring the performances of Artist of five (5) compositions contained on the Album which can be played through the VR Platform; and

Whereas, UME desires to include the VR Concert and an Artist branded VR Headset (the "Megadeth VR Headset") as part of the deluxe edition of the Album (such version of the album with the VR Concert and Megadeth VR Headset shall be referred to herein as the "DE Album") which will include a unique code number (the "PIN Code"), which, when entered into the App will allow the consumer to view the VR Concert up to three (3) times.

Now therefore the following, the parties agree as follows:

1.        NGC shall be responsible for producing the VR Concert.  NGC shall engage the Artist, the producer(s), director(s) and all other personnel in connection with the recording of the VR Concert. NGC, Artist and UME shall mutually approve the compositions to be recorded for the VR Concert. NGC shall be responsible for and pay all production costs for the VR Concert, including, without limitation, the fees to the Artist, the musicians, the director, the producer, and all production personnel, as well as all fees to all applicable unions (e.g. SAG/AFTRA and AFM) and shall file all necessary documents with such unions to comply with UME's obligations under its union agreements. NGC shall record the VR Concert for playback through the VR Platform and for normal HD playback.  NGC shall create the Megadeth VR Headset which shall be subject to UME's approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. NGC shall deliver to UME the audio-visual master for the VR Concert in the following forms: (i) an audio-video master identical to the audio-visual master used by NGC for  playback via the VR Platform and App, and (ii) one (1) HDCam stereo-master videotape (closed captioned) promptly following the completion of the recording thereof.

NGC shall program the App to accept the PIN Codes to permit the consumer to view the VR Concert up to three (3) times. NGC shall be responsible for the design, development and publication of the App. NGC shall make the App available through the iTunes store, Google Play and other virtual reality marketplaces at no charge to the consumer.

NGC shall submit a so-called "white paper" to UME in connection with the Web Store and the App for UME's approval.  NGC's rights to under this subparagraph 2(b) are contingent upon UME's approval of the "white paper'' and NGC's maintaining the security measures which are approved by UME.   In the event that a party hereto discovers a failure of a security measure(s), such party shall promptly notify the other setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the alleged failure.   If NGC fails to cure the alleged breach of any of the security measures approved by UME or the failure of NGC's security measures to conform to the approved security specifications to UME's reasonable satisfaction within ten (10) business days after UME provides NGC with a notice of a failure of a security measure, then UME will have the right to terminate the License Term of the Agreement by giving NGC five (5) days written notice.  NGC shall submit to UME for its approval all artwork and advertising for the VR Concert, prior to use and NGC shall only use UME approved artwork and advertising for the VR Concert, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

		4.	In connection with NGC's sale of the VR Concert as permitted hereunder, NGC shall pay to UME an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of NGC's gross receipts from such sales. In connection with NGC's sale of the Megadeth VR Headset as permitted hereunder, NGC shall pay to UME an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of NGC's net receipts from such sales.  For purposes of this paragraph 4, "net receipts" shall mean NGC's gross receipts from the sales of the Megadeth VR Headsets less the manufacturing costs of the Megadeth VR Headsets that have been sold.

5.        (a)      In connection with NGC's sale of the VR Concert, NGC shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary synchronization licenses from the publishers or owners of the musical compositions embodied in the VR Concert and for paying all synchronization fees.

(b)      In connection with UME's exploitation of the VR Concert, UME shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary synchronization licenses from the publishers or owners of the musical compositions embodied in the VR Concert and for paying all synchronization fees in connection with UME's sale of the DE Album and other exploitation of the VR Concert.

6.        (a)      Each party will account to the other on or before the date ninety (90) days after the end of its semi-annual accounting periods (currently ending on June 30 and December 31).   Such accounting shall be accompanied by the payment of any payable portion of NGC's Profit Share and UME's share of your gross receipts, as applicable, if any, less any amounts, if any, which NGC or UME may be required to withhold pursuant to any applicable statute, regulation, treaty or law. In connection with UME's exploitation of the DE Album, It is the parties' intention to split Profits on a cumulative basis. If credit or payment of a share of Profits is made to NGC hereunder with respect to a semi-annual period and the cumulative calculation of NGC's Profit Share in a later semi-annual period reveals that based on such cumulative calculation Profits have not been divided equally, all such "over-credits" or "overpayments" to NGC shall be deducted from all sums thereafter due to NGC.

(b)      NGC's Profit Share and UME's share of NGC's gross receipts in respect of exploitation of the DE Album and VR Concert outside the United States ("foreign sales") will be computed in the same national currency and at the same rate of exchange as UME and NGC, respectively, are accounted to by its, respective licensees with respect to the exploitation concerned and will be subject to costs of conversion and any taxes applicable to royalties remitted by or received from foreign sources. NGC's Profit Share and UME's share of NGC's gross receipts in respect of foreign sales are not due and payable by NGC or UME, until payment therefor has been received by UME and NGC, as applicable, in the United States in United States dollars. If NGC and/or UME does not receive payment in the United States in United States Dollars but receives payment in a foreign country, NGC and/or UME, as applicable, will deposit to the other party's credit (at the other party's expense) such currency in a depository selected by the other party in the country in which NGC and/or UME accepts payment, any amounts due hereunder for exploitation in such country. Such deposit will fulfill NGC's and/or UME's, respective obligations in connection therewith. If any Law, government ruling or other restriction affects the amount that a NGC licensee or UME licensee can remit to NGC or UME, respectively, NGC or UME may deduct from the amounts due to the other party an amount proportionate to the reduction in such licensee's remittances.

(c)      All accounting statements rendered by NGC and UME will be conclusively binding upon the other party and not subject to any objection by the receiving party for any reason unless (a) specific objection in writing, stating the basis thereof, is given to the other party within two (2) years from the date such statement is rendered and (b) an audit pursuant to paragraph 6(d) for that statement is completed within six (6) months after such objection notice is  given. Failure to  make such written

Megadeth_Nex!Galaxy_VirtuaiRealityConcert_Agr.v3

objection or complete the audit within said time periods will be deemed to be NGC's or UME's respective approval of such statement, NGC's or UME's respective waiver of such audit rights, and NGC's or UME's respective waiver of the right to sue the other party for additional amounts in connection with the applicable accounting period. Each statement will be deemed rendered when due unless a party notifies the other party that the applicable statement was not received and such notice is given within sixty {60) days after the applicable due date specified in paragraph 6{a) above, in which event the statement will be deemed rendered on the date actually sent. Neither party will have the right to sue the other in connection with any accounting, or to sue the other for monies due on account of the exploitation of DE Album and/or the VR Concert during the period an accounting covers, unless such suit is commenced within thirty {30) months after the date such accounting is rendered.

(d)      Each party may, at its own expense, audit the other party's books and records directly relating to this Agreement that report the sales of the DE Album or the VR Concert, as applicable, for which monies are payable hereunder. Each party may make such audit only for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of statements sent to it hereunder and only as provided herein. A party may initiate such audit only by giving notice to the other  party at least sixty (60) days prior to the date intended to commence the audit. Each audit will be conducted by a qualified auditor experienced in recording industry audits in such a manner so as not to disrupt the audited party's other functions and will be completed promptly. A party may audit a particular statement only once and only within two {2) years and six {6) months after the date such statement is rendered. A party may not conduct an audit more frequently than one (1) time per year. An audit may be conducted only during the audited party's usual business hours and at the place where it keeps the books and records to be examined. The parties will not be entitled to examine records that do not specifically report sales of the DE Album or of the VR Concert, as applicable, or to examine the books and records of a party's distributors or licensees. Each party's auditor will review his tentative written findings with a member of the audited party's finance staff designated before rendering a report to so as to remedy any factual errors and clarify any issues that may have resulted from misunderstanding. Each party acknowledges that the other party's books and records contain confidential trade information, and each party agrees that neither it nor its respective representatives will disclose such information to any other Person, or will use such information on behalf of any other Person.

(e)      Each party will withhold from any monies it would otherwise owe the other party hereunder such portion thereof as is required to be withheld by the United States Internal Revenue Service or other applicable governmental authority, and will pay such portion to the applicable authority.

(d)      Each party will protect and safeguard the other party's Confidential Information (i) with the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information, and (ii) in all events, with not less than a reasonable degree of care. The confidentiality obligations under this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement and continue in effect until five (5) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
