1.  To provide the ARTIST with the highest quality products, services and best
economic value available in the professional recording industry.

2.  To provide the ARTIST with a fairer and less-restrictive choice in managing their
performance and intellectual property rights.

AES LLC prides itself on offering a new and revolutionary concept in professional
production engagements - one that has the best interest and creative freedom
of the artists in mind.

The cornerstone of this concept is captured in the following three axioms:
      1.  The Author owns the work.
      2.  The Artist owns the performance.
      3.  AES LLC owns the recording.

The axioms above form the basic elements of our creative license agreement:
•  The artist retains the right to control the commercial potential of the creative works.
•   All original recordings and master tapes are the property of AES LLC.
•   The artist may purchase copies of the AES LLC recordings at discounted pricing.
•   Use of AES LLC recordings are by license agreement only.
•   The artist has an option to buy the recording rights to AES LLC productions.
•   AES LLC owns a Non-Exclusive License to market AES recordings.

Net proceeds from disc sales directly support not-for-profit parent companies which own
the performance content.
