LUCY’S CROWN DIRECT LICENSING POLICY & GUIDELINES

(PUBLIC PERFORMANCE AND TRANSMISSION RIGHTS)

1. Our direct licensing guidelines

1.1. These are the direct licensing guidelines of LUCY’S CROWN. This document
contains information about licensing our sound recordings and music videos. It sets out
the procedure to be followed when you are making an enquiry about direct licensing for
public performance or transmission.

1.2. An alternative to licensing the sound recording or music video directly from us is
to obtain a blanket license from the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia
(PPCA). If you obtain the PPCA blanket license then you will not require a license from
us because the blanket license gives you permission, within the terms of the license, to
play any recording from the PPCA catalogue which covers over 5,000 recording labels
including our sound recordings and music videos. Go to www.ppca.com.au or call PPCA
on (02) 8569 1111 to find out more.

2. Types of licenses offered for sound recordings and music videos

2.1. We only provide non-exclusive licenses. This means we can offer the same
licenses to other people. For example, if we license your restaurant to play our sound
recordings and/or music videos, we can also license any other businesses (including
other restaurants) that wish to play our sound recordings and/or music videos.

2.2. We offer licenses for the following purposes:
a transmission licenses for our sound recordings and music videos. You will need a
transmission license if you intend to communicate the sound recording or music video to
the public, for example by way of radio, television or the internet;
b public performance licenses for our sound recordings and music videos. You will
need a public performance license if you intend to play the sound recording or music
video in public, for example by playing a CD at your business premises;

2.3. These licenses are separate from any license required in respect of the underlying
copyright in the music and lyrics on the sound recording or music video. Unless the
underlying musical works are no longer protected by copyright, you will also need to
obtain permission to use the underlying musical works (including any lyrics). Permission
to use musical works can be sought from the Australasian Performing Rights Association
(APRA) and the Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society (AMCOS). These
two organizations operate from the same office and have responsibility for different types
of licensing. See www.apra.com.au or call 1300 852 388.

License fees vary depending on the type of use you are making of the sound recording or
music video. Please note that we do not provide any licenses free of charge.

will then prepare the license, which sets out the terms and conditions under which we
grant you the license.
