TICKETING SERVICES AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.42
CONFIDENTIAL
This Ticketing Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 1, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), by and between AXS Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AXS”), and Notes Live, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Client”), with reference to the following facts:
WHEREAS, AXS owns and operates XXX.xxx and the related back office ticketing systems and applications for the sale, issuance, resale and transfer of tickets and other rights associated with such events, including a primary market interface known as “Fansight”, a marketplace which facilitates the creation of a proprietary, branded and controlled resale marketplace, and a co-mingled seat map that offers both primary and resale tickets for sale on the same seating map (collectively, the “AXS Platform”); and WHEREAS, Client desires to utilize the AXS Platform in connection with ticketing operations and to engage AXS as its exclusive agent for providing ticketing and other services to the public with respect to all events scheduled or presented at the venue(s) defined in Schedule 1 attached hereto (collectively, the “Venues”, and all events at such Venues, collectively, the “Events”), on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Tickets to the Events are referred to herein as the “Tickets.”
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue to be coterminous with the term of that certain booking agreement between Anschutz Entertainment Group, Inc. or one of its affiliates (“AEG”) and Client (the “AEG Booking Agreement”), or through such later date that final Ticket settlement for any then remaining Events placed on the AXS Platform has occurred and AXS has been paid all fees owing from Client to AXS under this Agreement, whichever is later (the “Term”). Client shall notify AXS of the specified term set forth in the AEG Booking Agreement for purposes of this Section 1. In the event that, at anytime after the Effective Date, there is a suspension of Ticket sales due to a Force Majeure event, the Term of the Agreement shall be automatically extended by an amount of time equal to the Force Majeure Period (as defined in Section 16(g) below). Client agrees to include AXS in any RFP or bid process with respect to the provision of ticketing services after the end of the initial Term.
2. Ticket Sales Rights.
(a) Ticketing Rights. AXS shall serve as Client’s sole and exclusive provider of primary and resale ticketing software sales and services with respect to the Events, and AXS shall have the sole and exclusive right to sell all Tickets via any means (now known or to be discovered) in connection with all Events. Client shall place the entire manifest of Tickets on the AXS Platform for each Event. Client shall not directly or indirectly sponsor, promote, integrate with, receive any compensation from, advertise, authorize or permit the use of any third-party website, system or service in connection with the sale, resale or issuance of Tickets. For clarity, the preceding sentence shall not restrict so-called “Fire Pit Suite Holders” from reselling their suites outside of the AXS Platform. Client and AXS will each use its reasonable best efforts to not sell Tickets to any person or entity that such party believes will re-sell Tickets to Client’s Event(s) contrary to the intention of this Agreement. For example, sales to brokers shall not be permitted without the consent of AXS and the payment to AXS of a standard per-ticket fee pursuant to Exhibit A. AXS will enable the co-mingled seat map and stand-alone marketplace (and will activate the resale tile) for the Events, and the parties shall share fee revenues from primary and secondary market sales of Tickets, consistent with Exhibit A of this Agreement. AXS Mobile ID is the only free and only electronic method of delivery of Tickets, whether primary or resale.
(b) Resale Marketplace Procedures.
(i) Inventory Listings. The AXS Official Resale platform is on from the time that the first Ticket for an Event is sold, whether that Ticket is sold through a pre-sale or general public on sale, allowing the customer to list Tickets for resale. Resale inventory will not be available for consumers to purchase until the start of the public on sale. For general admission Events, resale Ticket listings will be available through the AXS Event Detail page via an “AXS Official Resale” tile; for reserved seating Events, resale Ticket listings will be within the co-mingled seat map.
(ii) Transfer or Delivery Delay Requests. In the event that Client would like to delay delivery of AXS Mobile ID tickets, a transfer delay can be requested through AXS Client Services (and in the case of a touring Event, will only be honored if a similar request is made of all venues on the tour). All transfer delay requests should be submitted in advance of the Event being announced, and are subject to prior approval by AXS. Client acknowledges that a transfer delay will prohibit any Tickets being transferred to other fans in advance of the transfer delay being lifted.
(iii) “Sold Out” Rules. Ticket sales for an Event will not be described as “Sold Out” (i.e., the Event pages will not include the words “sold out” in any description of the Event) on the AXS Platform or Venue website, unless it has been mutually agreed in advance that resale is disabled and further provided that there are no Premium/VIP offerings for such Event. Notwithstanding the above, this subsection will not restrict Client in its promotor marketing, from describing an Event as “sold out”, and Client can report Ticket sales status to the applicable promotor; the intent is to avoid describing Ticket sales as “sold out” because Tickets may still be available on the AXS Official Resale platform.
(iv) Tour-Wide Parity. If there is a tour-wide artist exception to disable resale for an Event, resale may be disabled on AXS upon mutual agreement. If it is discovered that resale for an Event is enabled on Ticketmaster or any other primary ticketing provider, AXS will notify Client thereof and Client will request that the other provider pull the listing down. If the listing is not pulled down within forty-eight (48) hours after the AXS request, then the AXS Official Resale platform will be activated.

3. License to Client; AXS IP Rights. AXS hereby grants Client a limited, nonexclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the AXS Platform and Equipment (as listed in Exhibit A) solely for Client’s internal business use in connection with the Events, throughout the Term. AXS and its licensors reserve all right, title and interest in and to the AXS Platform not expressly granted to Client under this Agreement, including without limitation all intellectual property and proprietary rights (and similar, equivalent or corresponding rights) in or as to any of the following, including copyrights, patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, know-how, trade dress, trade names, logos, codes (including source codes and/or object codes), corporate names and domain names, together with all of the goodwill associated therewith, all work product, documents, and other materials as may be developed and/or provided by AXS or its service providers or licensors to Client in connection with the AXS Platform and/or services pursuant to this Agreement (including all derivative works thereof) (collectively, the “AXS IP”), shall be and remain the property of AXS and its licensors and no portion thereof may be used, disclosed, transmitted, transferred, sold, assigned, leased, reverse engineered, modified, adapted, displayed, or otherwise disposed of, or made available for access or use by third parties, or be commercially exploited by or on behalf of Client, its employees or agents, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. For clarity, the AXS IP does not include Event Data or reports relating to the number of Tickets purchased for, and other details regarding, the Events.
4. Fees and Services Details. Details regarding fees and services are provided in Exhibit A attached hereto.
5. Accounting Procedures and Settlement of Funds.
(a) Sales Made on AXS Merchant Accounts. For all sales of Tickets to Client’s Events on AXS channels processed through AXS merchant accounts (including internet and mobile sales), AXS shall collect all transaction proceeds and shall deposit such proceeds into an account maintained by AXS, including any sales taxes owed and due. AXS will provide Client, and any resale sellers who sell Tickets to Client’s Events on the AXS Platform, with payment services for such sales, including use of AXS’s merchant account, processing of credit card, debit card, digital wallets, and other payment types (e.g., PayPal) accepted on the AXS Platform, fraud reduction, and chargeback challenge administration services (collectively, the “Payment Services”) in exchange for a processing, chargeback and payment administration fee in the amount of three percent (3%) of the gross transaction amount processed by an AXS merchant account, or such other Payment Administration Fee set forth Exhibit A, whichever is higher (the “Payment Administration Fee”). Payment Administration Fees compensate AXS for merchant bank fees, gateway fees, and any other fee associated with the merchant accounts or processing of payments by AXS for transactions relative to Client’s Events pursuant to this Agreement, including the costs of disputing chargebacks and assuming the risk of loss on chargebacks for sales via the AXS merchant account, and shall be deducted prior to AXS remitting payments of the amounts owed to Client hereunder (each, a “Settlement Payment”). All gross monies processed will be subject to the Payment Administration Fee — whether or not the item has a service, handling or delivery fee. The Payment Administration Fee is generally included within the service fee that is assessed to the customer and will be deducted prior to determining the revenue sharing amounts payable to Client pursuant to Exhibit A.
2
(i) Sales Made on Client’s Merchant Accounts. With respect to sales of Tickets via Client-controlled channels (such as the Venue box office, back office or any other Client-controlled sales channel), Client will: (i) utilize its own merchant account for such sales and (ii) be solely responsible for all payment processing costs, credit card fees chargebacks, and funding and processing all refunds relative to such sales.
(ii) Schedule for Settlement Payments. AXS shall make Settlement Payments to Client as follows: with respect to primary sales, AXS shall collect all proceeds from the sale of Tickets to Event(s) made on the AXS Platform and deposit all such proceeds into an account maintained by AXS. AXS shall make payments to Client via electronic delivery, weekly on Thursdays on a post-performance basis (i.e., weekly based on Events which took place during the previous Monday through Sunday, for all gross proceeds from Ticket sales and taxes collected on behalf of Client in accordance with this Agreement, less all authorized AXS fees and Payment Administration Fees due to AXS and any other applicable charges authorized in the Agreement. AXS shall make Settlement Payments to Client with respect to resale Tickets Net fee revenues owing to Client monthly, on the tenth (10th) day following the end of the month in which the resale transaction occurred. Client shall provide AXS with any information reasonably requested by AXS in order to remit such payments, including bank account details for remitting payments, including the following information:
Bank Name:
Bank Address:
Account Holder:
Account Number:
Routing Number:
Details about sales and other transaction-based tax responsibility are further described in Section 13 below.
(b) Secondary Market Sales - AXS’s Merchant Account. For clarity, AXS uses its own merchant account for processing sales of Tickets by resale sellers to resale buyers using AXS’s own merchant account and payment services providers, and shall share net fee revenues of resale transactions (after deducting the 3% Payment Administration Fee) with Client in the amount(s) set forth in Exhibit A, on a monthly basis. AXS will be responsible for refunding customers entitled to refunds (e.g., for a cancelled Event) who purchased secondary market Event Tickets from a resale seller on the AXS secondary marketplace. In the event that any such refunding involves previously distributed resale proceeds for Tickets originally sold using Client’s merchant account or other direct payment to Client, Client will provide such assistance as reasonably requested by AXS in order to facilitate collection and reversal of funds previously distributed to the resale Ticket sellers.
3
(c) Refunds. For cancelled Events, or for other reasons in consultation with Client (such as postponed or rescheduled Events which provide for a refund window), AXS will process refunds for sales made via AXS’s merchant account on AXS channels, and all fees (with the exception of priority shipping) will be refunded to the consumer along with the Ticket price. AXS will deduct the amounts of such refunds and related chargebacks from the next Settlement Payment that becomes due and payable to Client. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that AXS is not then currently holding sufficient Ticket proceeds otherwise owing to Client in the next Settlement Payment to cover such refunds and related chargebacks (or any other amounts owing to AXS pursuant to this Agreement), AXS may at its election (i) offset the deficiency (or amount due, as the case may be) against future Settlement Payments, or (ii) invoice Client for the deficiency, which Client shall then remit electronically into an account specified by AXS within two (2) business days after receipt of AXS’s invoice. Additionally, AXS may, in its sole discretion, withhold payment of all refunds until it is holding or has received sufficient amounts to cover the refunds. AXS will make such refunds for a period of thirty (30) days after the date upon which AXS is in possession of the required funds with respect to a particular Event. After such thirty (30)-day period, Client shall be solely responsible for making all refunds for such Event. AXS shall be entitled to deduct and retain all payment administration fees incurred by AXS in connection with the refunded Event, with such reimbursement either being paid by Client immediately upon invoice or, at AXS’s sole discretion, such reimbursement amount being deducted from monies owed to Client under the next Settlement Payment(s), if AXS charges other comparable clients for same. With respect to sales of Tickets via Client-controlled channels (such as the Venue box office, back office or any other Client-controlled sales channel), Client will: (i) be solely responsible for all amounts refunded to customers and (ii) will be solely responsible for processing such refunds. For clarity, with respect to sales of Tickets via Client’s merchant account, Client will be solely responsible for processing refunds of Tickets, e.g., for any cancelled Events or postponed or rescheduled Events where a refund window is in effect.
(d) Fraud Reduction. In an effort to minimize fraud, AXS shall have the right to cancel any orders attempted that it reasonably believes are fraudulent or otherwise unauthorized, including, but not limited to the following circumstances: (i) billing address information provided does not match the credit card billing address; (ii) duplicate orders; (iii) Ticket purchaser’s name does not match the name on the credit card; and (iv) random orders that cannot be verified by the card holder. If AXS receives a chargeback inquiry prior to an Event, AXS may cancel the order.
(e) Reports. During the Term, AXS will provide Client with online access to reports summarizing all applicable account activity as to an applicable Event.
6. Data.
(a) Purchaser Data. Client and AXS shall jointly own all data: (i) provided by users of the AXS Platform who purchase Tickets for Client’s Events (the “Ticket Purchasers”) to the extent such data is provided as part of the Ticket purchase transaction, including but not limited to, names, email addresses, phone numbers, profiles, details regarding the purchase for the Event, and other marketing or identifying information, so long as the Ticket Purchaser has consented to the collection and use of such information, or such collection and use is otherwise permitted by the applicable privacy policy and applicable law; and (ii) such other data regarding the Events as may be collected by AXS in the performance for Client of the Services ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Purchaser Data”). For clarity, Purchaser Data does not include any data provided by or obtained by AXS or a third party from any Ticket Purchasers except to the extent such data was collected in connection with the Events, even if such other data is added to AXS’s internal profile on Ticket Purchasers. Each party has the right to use, analyze, modify and copy the Purchaser Data for any lawful purpose consistent with their standard business operations and in connection with providing or receiving ticketing services, provided each party hereby agrees to collect, process, hold and use such information solely in compliance with all applicable privacy policies and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and with any relevant Data Requests and other obligations set forth in this Section 6(a) as described further below. Each of Client and AXS agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party, and their affiliates, owners, officers, directors, agents and employees and contractors from and against any claims, actions, damages, liabilities or lawsuit arising out of, or relating to the use of, Purchaser Data by the indemnifying party in violation of this Section 6(a).

(ii) Third Party Data Share Requests from Client. In the event that Client authorizes and/or directs AXS to release and disclose Purchaser Data to a third party (the “Shared Data”), Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless AXS, its affiliates, owners, officers, directors, agents and employees and contractors from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred, arising from or out of AXS’s release and disclosure of the Shared Data to such third party, and/or Client’s or the third party’s use of the Shared Data.
(iii) Data Incidents. “Data Incident” means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Purchaser Data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed by or on behalf of a party to this Agreement. Each party will promptly notify the other party via email to the email address indicated in the Notices section below if it becomes aware of a Data Incident. If applicable laws require notice to authorities or individuals, or other remedial action, the party in control of the Purchaser Data at the time of the Data Incident shall provide such notice or undertake such remedial actions at that party’s sole cost and expense, and as between the parties, the party in control of the Purchaser Data at the time of the Data Incident shall bear all responsibility and liability with regard thereto. If any notices are to be sent to individuals or other parties by Client, AXS shall have the right to approve the text of the notices to be sent by Client. Client will not inform any third party (except as and to the extent necessary under applicable law or law enforcement’s investigation) of the Data Incident without first notifying AXS and obtaining AXS’s prior written consent with regard to the content of the notice.

Such Event Data shall be provided to AXS sufficiently in advance of any on-sale date or Ticket sales for each Event. Client shall be responsible for monitoring and ensuring that Event Data or any other information posted by Client and/or AXS (including its assigns or designees) in connection with any Event(s) and/or the services is accurate and up to date. Client will ensure that it has all necessary rights to provide the Event Data to AXS, and that the Event Data will not infringe upon or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights or other rights of any third party. Client acknowledges that AXS (and its assigns and/or designees) shall be entitled to rely on information posted by and/or approved by Client. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, AXS will have no liability to Client under this Agreement for any act or omission by AXS in reliance on any Event Data so furnished by Client or in the event of any delay or failure by Client to so furnish any Event Data.

8
12. Limitation of Liability. Neither party shall be liable to the other party for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages arising from or related to this Agreement or the operation or use of the AXS IP or the services. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of either party to obtain actual damages from the other upon the occurrence of a breach of such party’s obligations under this Agreement or other default, following applicable cure periods. Neither party shall be liable to the other for (a) damages (regardless of their nature) for any delay or failure by such party to perform its obligations under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure event (as defined in Section 16(g) below); or (b) claims made of a subject of a legal proceeding against either party more than one (1) year after any such cause of action first arose.

13. Sales Tax and Additional Tax-Related Responsibilities.
(a) Collection of Taxes. AXS will collect, along with the proceeds of all Tickets and ancillary items sold on Client’s behalf, any applicable taxes, including admission, sales, use, or other transaction-based taxes and other applicable city, county or state taxes (collectively, “Taxes”), owed and due on transactions processed on Client’s behalf by AXS pursuant to this Agreement, as detailed on the settlement report. AXS will also collect any and all Taxes due on taxable portions of resale Ticket transactions processed by AXS on behalf of Ticket sellers who use the AXS Resale platform to sell their Tickets to secondary market Ticket buyers, and AXS will therefore be responsible for all tax programming, filing and remittance of sales and other taxes collected to the applicable taxing authorities with respect to such resale Ticket transactions, subject to the provisions of this Section 13.
(b) Remittance of Taxes. The Taxes collected on Client’s behalf on primary market Ticket transactions will be included with the Settlement Payment and Client shall be solely responsible to remit same to the applicable taxing authority, or, if AXS is required by applicable law to remit such Taxes directly to the taxing authority, then AXS will deduct such Taxes prior to making the Settlement Payment and shall remit them to the taxing authority. The Taxes collected on the secondary market Ticket sellers’ behalf will be disbursed to the Ticket seller for remittance by the Ticket seller, or, where required by law, will be deducted by AXS from secondary market proceeds and remitted by AXS on behalf of the Ticket seller to the taxing authority.
(c) Cooperation with any Audit. In the event that AXS or the revenue collected with respect to any Event or any Ticket transaction becomes the subject of an audit, Client will fully cooperate with AXS including timely providing AXS with copies of sales tax returns and/or other related documents evidencing such remittance of Taxes by Client to the applicable taxing authority and Client shall also provide written assurances that Client complied with its legal obligations with regard to the payment and reporting of such Taxes to the applicable taxing authority.
(d) Tax-Indemnification. In addition to any other indemnities in this Agreement, each party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from the payment of any Taxes, penalties, attorney’s fees, or interest on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or reasonably related to any default or alleged default in compliance, by Client or AXS, with such tax laws as each party is responsible for. This section shall survive the Term or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(a) Termination for Breach. Except as otherwise contemplated herein, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the other party commits any material or repeated breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and (in the case of a breach which is capable of remedy) fails to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the other party giving full particulars of the breach and requiring it to be so remedied (provided, if the default cannot be reasonably cured within such thirty (30) days, the breaching party shall not be in default if such breaching party commences efforts to cure such breach within such thirty (30)-day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default); provided that neither party may terminate this Agreement if the terminating party is at the time in material breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement (other than as caused by the other party’s material breach). In the event that a breach by Client includes a violation of subsection 2(a) above, and subject to any additional rights and remedies available to AXS, Client shall owe AXS an amount not less than the AXS Fees (as set forth in Exhibit A), otherwise payable to AXS if the Tickets had been sold on the AXS Platform.
(b) Extension of Term for Force Majeure. In the event of a Force Majeure event (as set forth below in subsection 16(g)), the Term of the Agreement will be extended by an amount of time equal to the Force Majeure Period. In the event that any particular Event has to be postponed or rescheduled to a date after the Term of the Agreement is scheduled to expire, then such Event shall continue to be covered by the terms of the Agreement (even though the Agreement shall be expired as to all other Events) until such time that the rescheduled Event has occurred.
(c) Termination for Insolvency. AXS or Client (the “Insolvent Party”) shall provide immediate written notice to the other party in the event that any insolvency, assignment for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy or similar proceedings are instituted by or against such Insolvent Party.

(h) Term Extension. If neither party has terminated the Agreement prior to the end of the initial Term (as defined in Section 1) and the Term has not been otherwise extended due to a Force Majeure event, after the initial Term, the Agreement will automatically be extended on a month-to-month basis unless and until terminated by either party upon at least thirty (30) days advance notice to the other party.
(i) Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. No party shall do anything which shall have the effect of harming or injuring the right of the other party to receive the benefits of this Agreement.

FEES AND SERVICES DETAILS
1. Fees and Revenues to AXS and Client. The amount of fees on Ticket sales and related items are set forth below. AXS shall set the amount of secondary market and other sales types as further described below. All fees assessed to customers are subject to adjustment to be commensurate with industry standards. Any such adjustment will be agreed to in writing (attached to the Agreement, acknowledged via DocuSign, or via an exchange of emails). Client agrees that AXS shall be due the full amount of fees provided herein regardless of whether such fees are included in (as an Inside Charge) or added to (Outside of) the base price. The term “Inside Charge” refers to a fee being charged within the (included inside of) the final Ticket or item base price charged to the customer. The term “Outside” refers to a fee that is charged to the customer on top of (outside of) the final Ticket or item base price. The term “Net” refers to the Payment Administration Fee being deducted prior to determining revenue sharing amounts. Client may designate additional items to be sold, or additional types of fees to be charged on the AXS Platform, in each case upon mutual agreement and provided that AXS is first paid the Payment Processing Fee, and is paid a fee in an amount mutually determined and consistent with the fees set forth below. “Free Event” means an Event that has a zero dollar ($0.00) face value for Tickets for the Event (i.e., no fees are charged to any consumers in order to attend the Event). “Charitable Event” means an Event that is a fundraiser for a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and the proceeds of such Event benefit such organization. Free Events and Charitable Events are limited to mutually agreed upon events. Client shall notify AXS in writing and request approval to classify a particular event as a Free Event or Charitable Event, which AXS shall not unreasonably withhold. Subject to AXS’s general payment rights under this Agreement, AXS shall invoice Client for amounts due for Free Tickets, and Client shall then remit the amount due electronically into an account specified by AXS within two (2) business days after receipt of AXS’s invoice.

For example, if a $50 ticket sells as a VIP Package for $150.00, the lift is $100, the inside charge is $10.00, and the consumer pays $150 for the VIP Package plus a Service Fee charged on the Outside, in the amount of $22.50 (15% of $150). After deducting the Payment Administration Fee of $5.18 out of the $22.50 Service Fee, the Net Fees balance of $27.32 will be split between AXS and the Client in the percentages set forth in the Agreement. |

2. Additional Venues — Potential Additional Revenue Sharing.
In the event that Client and AXS mutually agree to amend this Agreement to add one or more venues of the type and quality of the Sunset Amphitheater currently being constructed in Colorado Springs (the “Additional Similar Venues,” and each, an “Additional Similar Venue”), Client will be eligible to receive additional revenue sharing payments in the amounts set forth below based on (a) the number of Additional Similar Venue(s), and (b) the number of total Tickets sold cumulatively at the Sunset Amphitheater and Additional Similar Venue(s). Client’s eligibility to receive such additional revenue sharing payments commences when (a) AXS has begun selling Tickets for the Sunset Amphitheater Venue, and (b) AXS has begun selling Tickets for at least one Additional Similar Venue, and (c) the aggregate number of Tickets sold for the Sunset Amphitheater Venue and the Additional Similar Venue have reached One Million (1,000,000) Tickets. For purposes of clarity, any Tickets sold at Boot Barn Venues do not count towards the Ticket thresholds set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, only Tickets for which Service Fee, Payment Administration Fee, and all other fees set forth in Section 1 above were collected and not returned count as Tickets for purposes of this Section 2.
For the avoidance of doubt, at the time that this Agreement is amended to add one or more venues, Client and AXS shall confirm in writing whether the additional venue(s) qualify as “Additional Similar Venue(s)”; should the amendment be silent on this point, the new venues shall not constitute “Additional Similar Venue(s).”
| Number of Additional Similar Venues | Aggregate Number of Tickets Sold at Sunset Amphitheater and Additional Similar Venues | Additional Revenue Due to Client | ||
| One | 1,000,000 - 1,499,999 | $0.50/Ticket | ||
