Modification to Master Agreement between The Partnership of Atlanta, Inc. (TPA), and Sibling Entertainment Group Holdings, Inc. (SIBE), dated May 9, 2012.
EXHIBIT 10.1
Modification to Master Agreement between The Partnership of Atlanta, Inc. (TPA), and Sibling Entertainment Group Holdings, Inc. (SIBE), dated May 9, 2012.
This document is a modification to an agreement (the “Master Agreement”) between TPA and SIBE (copy attached) which has an “effective date” of February 1, 2012. On further review, the Master Agreement lacks some information which would be beneficial to both parties, and therefore, is being modified though the execution of this modification document (the “Modification”).
1. According to both parties, the Master Agreement was actually signed by both parties on February 24, 2012, therefore February 24, 2012 is, in fact, the date of the Master Agreement;
2. The “effective date”, which is February 1, 2012, is, in fact, intend to refer to the date from which the work performed under the Master Agreement by TPA would be formally billed to SIBE, as prior to February 1, 2012, there was no formal agreement between the parties;
3. While there was no formal agreement in place prior to February 1, 2012, TPS nonetheless, did some work in anticipation of a formal agreement. SIBE has determined that the work performed prior to February 1, 2012, specifically in November 2011, December 2011, and January 2012, has value and can be utilized by SIBE. This work is detailed in Exhibit 1 of this Modification.
4. In consideration of the valuable and tangible work performed by TPA prior to February 1, 2012, SIBE has agreed to issue one million (1,000,000) shares of its common stock, and TPA has agreed to accept the shares as full payment for the products, artwork, consulting, services and any other actions provided by TPA. These shares are restricted according to Rule 144 of the Securities Act;
5. The shares of common stock provided for payment, as detailed above, are issued in conjunction with the execution of a SIBE Restricted Stock and Restriction Agreement, an executed copy of which is included at Exhibit 2 to this Modification. This executed copy includes (a) a full list of the actions performed by TPA, (b) a Qualified Investor Questionnaire form, and(c) a copy of the SEC web pages that generally describe the restrictions associate with Rule 144;
6. With regard to work performed by TPA after February 1, 2012, TPA desires to be compensation in cash, unless otherwise agreed in writing. TPA intends to xxxx SIBE at a rate of $150 per hour for the work performed for SIBE. Both parties agree that the $150 per hour rate is a “blended rate”, that the use of a single billing rate is beneficial to both parties, and that it is intended to be an average of the rates of the various employees of TPA if the individuals were being billed for their separate activities;
7. TPA intends to xxxx SIBE monthly a 'retainer' of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per month, as described in the Master Agreement. After having reviewed the accounting treatment for SIBE, both parties agree that, for each month, TPA shall provide SIBE a detail of the work actually performed, with applicable charges, such that SIBE may accurately know the actual cost per month, which may be different than an amount that SIBE may accrue under the 'retainer' billing;
8. All actual charges are subject to review and approval, as defined in the Master Agreement;
9. TPA to provide SIBE with a Certificate of Good Standing;
10. TPA to provide SIBE with evidence of corporate authority to enter into the Master Agreement and this Modification;
11. Section 21 of the Master Agreement is amended by striking the numbers“34753.”;
12. Both parties agree that legal review of any artwork, trademarks and logos created for SIBE and its affiliated companies is the sole responsibility of SIBE, and that ownership for the artwork is that of SIBE once agency is paid in full, and for those products, artwork and services provided prior to Februrary 1, 2012, all items will be deemed paid in full on receipt by TPA of the certificate for 1,000,000 shares of SIBE common stock;
13. Section 6 of the Master Agreement is amended by striking in its entirety the words “Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other party., provided that in no event may this Agreement be terminated by Client prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months from the commencement of the Term.”, and substituting in lieu thereof, the words “Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other party.”
14. SIBE and TPA both acknowledge that SIBE has informed TPA of the financial condition of SIBE on a regular basis, and TPA recites that it has read the filings of SEC from January 2010, forward. SIBE intends to insure that TPA remains fully informed, and has, and will continue to, forward to TPA its public filings when available. TPA agrees to notify SIBE promptly of any changes in its financial condition.
