Company will supply all necessary recording equipment and personnel at Company s sole expense. Each Wake Up produced by Company at any time, regardless of the proximity to the date of this Agreement, is governed by the provisions of this Agreement. 2. COMPENSATION. In full and complete consideration of the rights granted hereunder, provided that Teacher is not in uncured material breach of this Agreement, Company will pay
