hereunder is written or composed by Producer, in whole or in part, alone or in collaboration with others, or is owned or
controlled, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by Producer or any person, firm, or corporation in which Producer has
a direct or indirect interest, then such selection and/or musical composition shall be hereinafter referred to as a
"Controlled Composition". Producer hereby agrees to issue or cause to be issued, as applicable, to Licensee,
