5.                                       Tax Withholding.  The Company shall have the right to require
Grantee to satisfy any Withholding Taxes resulting from the lapse of the
Restrictions or otherwise in connection with the Award at the time such
Withholding Taxes become due.  Grantee
shall be entitled to satisfy any Withholding Taxes contemplated by this Section
5 by delivery to the Company of:  (a)
cash, certified check or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available
funds; (b) with the Company’s consent, Vested Shares otherwise then deliverable
(valued in the same manner used in computing the amount of such Withholding
Taxes); or (c) with the Company’s consent, any combination of (a) and (b)
above.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, (i) the Company or any of its subsidiaries or

Notice and these Award Terms.  As soon as
practicable after the Restrictions on any Restricted Shares lapse, the Company
shall cause the legend regarding the Restrictions set forth in
Section 14(a) hereof to be removed from the resulting Vested Shares and
cause the resulting Vested Shares to be delivered to a Company-Sponsored Equity
Account in the name of the person entitled to such Vested Shares (or, with the
Company’s consent, such other brokerage account as may be requested by such
person); provided, however, that, in the event such Vested Shares
are subject to a legend regarding securities law restrictions as set forth in
Section 14(b) hereof, the Company shall instead cause a certificate evidencing
such Vested Shares and bearing such legend to be delivered to the person
entitled thereto.

9.                                       Committee
Discretion.  Except as
may otherwise be provided in the Plan, the Committee shall have sole discretion
to (a) interpret any provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice and these Award
Terms, (b) make any determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan and the Award, and (c) waive any conditions or
rights of the Company under the Award, the Grant Notice or these Award Terms,
or amend, alter, accelerate, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Award, the
Grant Notice or these Award Terms; provided, however, that,
except as provided in Section 10 or 11 hereof, without the consent of Grantee,
no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination of
the Award, the Grant Notice or these Award Terms may materially and adversely
affect the rights or obligations of Grantee in respect of the Award, taken as a
whole.  Without intending to limit the
generality or effect of the foregoing, any decision or determination to be made
by the Committee pursuant to these Award Terms, including whether to grant or
withhold any consent, shall be made by the Committee in its sole and absolute
discretion, subject only to the terms of the Plan.  By accepting and agreeing to the Award,
Grantee consents to any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation
or termination of the Award, the Grant Notice or these Award Terms that
(i) is effected in accordance with Section 10 or 11  hereof or (ii) does not materially
and adversely affect the rights or obligations of Grantee in respect of the
Award, taken as a whole.


10.                                 Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, in the event
of any corporate transaction or event such as a stock dividend, extraordinary
dividend or other similar distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of
Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock
split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of Common Stock or
other securities, the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares
of Common Stock or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or
event affecting shares of Common Stock, then the Award shall be adjusted in
accordance with Section 7.6 of the Plan. 
In addition, the Committee is authorized to make such adjustments as it
deems appropriate in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in,
the Award in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without
limitation, events described in the preceding sentence) affecting the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or the financial statements of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or in response to changes in
applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles.  It is intended that the Award will not be
subject to any adverse consequences under Section 409A of the Code; however,
the Committee is authorized to make such adjustments as it deems appropriate to
the terms and conditions of the Award in order to prevent the Award from
becoming subject to any adverse consequences under Section 409A of the
Code.  Any Additional Shares issued in
connection with an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subject to
the same Restrictions, and provisions with respect to the lapse thereof, as the
Restricted Shares in respect of which such Additional Shares were issued.


11.                                 Registration
and Listing. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company
shall not be obligated to issue or transfer any Restricted Shares or Vested
Shares, and no Restricted Share Units or Vested Shares may be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered in
any way, unless such transaction is in compliance with (a) the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or any comparable federal securities law, and all
applicable state securities laws, (b) the requirements of any securities
exchange, securities association, market system or quotation system on which
securities of the Company of the same class as the securities subject to the
Award are then traded 


 


5

















 


or
quoted, (c) any restrictions on transfer imposed by the Company’s certificate
of incorporation or bylaws, and (d) any policy or procedure the Company has
adopted with respect to the trading of its securities, in each case as in
effect on the date of the intended transaction. 
The Company is under no obligation to register, qualify or list, or
maintain the registration, qualification or listing of, Restricted Shares or
Vested Shares with the SEC, any state securities commission or any securities
exchange, securities association, market system or quotation system to effect
such compliance.  Grantee shall make such
representations and furnish such information as may be appropriate to permit
the Company, in light of the then existence or non-existence of an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating
to Restricted Shares or Vested Shares, to issue or transfer Restricted Shares
or Vested Shares in compliance with the provisions of that or any comparable
federal securities law and all applicable state securities laws.  The Company shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to register the issuance or transfer of Restricted Shares or Vested
Shares or resale of Restricted Shares or Vested Shares under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or any comparable federal securities law or applicable
state securities law.


12.                                 Limited
Transferability. 
Notwithstanding the Restrictions or anything else to the contrary
contained herein, with the Committee’s consent, Grantee may transfer Restricted
Shares to any one or more of the following persons:  (a) the spouse, parent, issue, spouse of
issue, or issue of spouse (with “issue” including all descendants, whether
natural or adopted) of Grantee; (b) a trust for the benefit of one or more
persons described in clause (a) above or for the benefit of Grantee; or
(c) an entity in which Grantee or one or more of the persons described in
clause (a) or (b) above is a beneficial owner; provided, however,
that such Restricted Shares shall remain subject to the Restrictions in the
hands of the transferee and that such transferee shall be bound by all of the
terms and conditions of the Plan, the Grant Notice and these Award Terms and
shall execute an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company in
connection with such transfer.


13.                                 Employment
Violation.


(a)           In the event of an Employment
Violation, the Company shall have the right to require (a) the forfeiture by
Grantee to the Company of any Restricted Shares and (b) payment by Grantee
to the Company of the Recapture Amount with respect to such Employment Violation;
provided, however, that, in lieu of payment by Grantee to the
Company of the Recapture Amount, Grantee, in his or her discretion, may tender
to the Company the Vested Shares acquired by him or her during the Look-back
Period with respect to such Employment Violation and Grantee shall not be
entitled to receive any consideration from the Company in exchange
therefor.  Any such forfeiture of
Restricted Shares and payment of the Recapture Amount, as the case may be, shall
be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy available to
the Company arising out of or in connection with such Employment Violation,
including, without limitation, the right to terminate Grantee’s employment if
not already terminated and to seek injunctive relief and additional monetary
damages.


(b)           Without
limiting the generality of Section 13(a) hereof and Section 7.8 of the Plan and
notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, to the extent the
Restrictions would otherwise continue to lapse following the termination of
Grantee’s employment, if Grantee becomes employed by a corporation or other
entity engaged in a Competitive Business or otherwise engages directly or
indirectly in a Competitive Business, whether or not in breach of the
Employment Agreement, as of the date on which such engagement commences the 


 


6

















 


Restrictions shall cease to lapse and all Restricted
Shares shall immediately be forfeited to the Company without payment of
consideration by the Company.


14.                                 Legends.


(a)           Restrictions.  The Company shall cause any Restricted Book
Entry evidencing the Restricted Shares to bear a notation substantially as
follows:


“THE SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY, WHETHER VOLUNTARY, INVOLUNTARY OR BY
OPERATION OF LAW, IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH
IN THE ACTIVISION, INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2003 INCENTIVE PLAN (THE “PLAN”),
AND IN THE ASSOCIATED NOTICE OF RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD, INCLUDING THE
RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD TERMS ATTACHED THERETO (THE “AWARD NOTICE”).  A COPY OF THE PLAN AND AWARD NOTICE MAY BE
OBTAINED FROM ACTIVISION, INC.”


(b)           Securities Laws.  The Company may, if determined by it based on
the advice of counsel to be appropriate, cause any Restricted Book Entry
evidencing Restricted Shares or any certificate evidencing Vested Shares to
bear a notation or legend, as the case may be, substantially as follows:


“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
UNDER THE ACT.”


15.                                 No Right to
Continued Employment.  Nothing
contained in the Grant Notice or these Award Terms shall be construed to confer
upon Grantee any right to be continued in the employ of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates or derogate from any right of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates to retire, request the resignation of, or
discharge Grantee at any time, with or without Cause.


16.                                 Severability.  In the event that one or more of the
provisions of these Award Terms shall be invalidated for any reason by a court
of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be
separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof
shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.


17.                                 Governing Law.  To the extent that federal law does not
otherwise control, the validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of
the Grant Notice and these Award Terms shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws
thereof.

18.                                 Successors and
Assigns.  The provisions of the Grant
Notice and these Award Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Company, its successors and assigns, and Grantee and, to the extent
applicable, Grantee’s permitted assigns under Section 12 hereof and  Grantee’s estate or beneficiary(ies) as
determined by will or the laws of descent and distribution.


19.                                 Notices.  Any notice or other document which either
Grantee or the Company may be required or permitted to deliver to the other
pursuant to or in connection with the Grant Notice or these Award Terms shall
be in writing, and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, or
overnight courier, addressed as follows: 
(a) if to the Company, at its office at 3100 Ocean Park Boulevard, Santa
Monica, California 90405, Attn: Stock Plan Administration, or such other

to time; and (b) if to Grantee, at the address shown in the Employment Agreement
or such other address as Grantee by notice to the Company may designate in
writing from time to time.  Notices shall
be effective upon receipt.


20.                                 Conflict with
Plan.  In the event of any conflict
between the terms of the Grant Notice or these Award Terms and the terms of the
Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. 
Nothing in the Grant Notice, these Award Terms or the Plan is intended
to, or does, deprive Grantee of the benefit of any term or provision for which
Grantee specifically bargained with the Company, as such term or provision is
expressly set forth in Grantee’s Employment Agreement
