If under applicable law the foregoing is not effective to place authorship and ownership of the Results and Proceeds and all rights therein in Client, then by way of assignment and transfer of present and future copyright and otherwise, Producer hereby irrevocably sells, transfers, grants, and assigns to Client, all of its right, title and interest therein, whether now in existence or hereafter created, including, without limitation, all rights of ownership and authorship in and to the Results and Proceeds and all elements and versions thereof (including all physical elements in which any such Results and Proceeds may be embodied), throughout the universe and in perpetuity, and Producer acknowledges and agrees that it shall hold no right, title, or interest in or to any such items.

Producer will execute and deliver any documents reasonably necessary to perfect or effectuate any of Client’s rights in and to the Results and Proceeds under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the “ALL” box in Section A of the SPA has not been checked, Client may display, distribute or otherwise use the Work only in or through those specific channels of media distribution selected in Section A of the SPA (the “Distribution Channels”). If the “ALL” box in Section A of the SPA has not been checked, then in the event that Client may wish to exploit the Work in any other channels of media distribution other than the Distribution Channels, the parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of an “Additional Exploitation Rider” (which must be signed by the parties and attached to this Agreement as an Exhibit hereto) to determine what additional consideration shall be paid by Client to Producer for the right to so exploit the Work, and Client shall not have the right to so exploit the Work until the applicable Additional Exploitation Rider has been executed and such additional consideration has been paid to Producer. If the “ALL” box in Section A of the SPA has been checked, then Client may exploit the Work in all of the channels of media distribution as set forth in Section A of the SPA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Producer owns and will retain all right, title and interest in and to any software or programming tools, both in object code and source code form, or any other special processes which Producer had already developed or licensed from a third party prior to the term of this Agreement, or which Producer creates pursuant to this Agreement in order to render the Services and/or create the Work, whether in whole or in part (“Producer’s Tools”), in perpetuity and throughout the universe (“Producer’s Rights”). By way of example, Producer’s Tools may include pre-existing underlying software and other technology, routines, sub-routines, and algorithms, and any and all intellectual property rights therein.
