non-exclusive, non-transferable license, without the right to sublicense (except
as specifically provided herein), to publish Licensed Products using Sony

set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, this LPA: (i) to produce or
develop Licensed Products and to enter into agreements with Licensed Developers
and other third parties to develop Licensed Products; (ii) to have such Licensed

the right to use the Licensed Products for noncommercial purposes in conjunction
with the System only, and not with other devices or for public performance.

     2.2 SEPARATE PLAYSTATION AGREEMENTS. Unless specifically set forth in this
Agreement, all terms used herein are specific to the System and the third party
licensing program related thereto and not to the original PlayStation game
console or third party licensing program related thereto. Licenses relating to

<PAGE>   6
Tools, as is appropriate, from SCEA or its designated agent, pursuant to a
separate Development System Agreement with SCEA, to assist in such development.
In developing Executable Software (or portions thereof), Publisher and its
agents shall fully comply in all respects with any and all technical
specifications which may from time to time be issued by SCEA. In the event that
Publisher uses third party tools to develop Executable Software, Publisher
shall be responsible for ensuring that it has obtained appropriate licenses for
such use.

     3.2  DEVELOPMENT BY THIRD PARTIES. Except as otherwise set forth herein,
Publisher shall not provide Sony Materials or SCEA's Confidential Information
to any third party. Publisher shall be responsible for determining that third
parties meet the criteria set forth herein. Publisher may contract with a third
party for development of Licensed Products, provided that such third party is:
(i) a Licensed Publisher, (ii) a Licensed Developer, or (iii) an
SCEA-authorized subcontractor in compliance with the provisions of Section
16.6. Publisher shall notify SCEA in writing of the identity of any such third
party within thirty (30) days of entering into an agreement or other
arrangement with the third party.

4.   LIMITATIONS ON LICENSES; RESERVATION OF RIGHTS.

     4.1  REVERSE ENGINEERING PROHIBITED. Other than as expressly permitted by
SCEA in writing, Publisher shall not directly or indirectly disassemble,
decrypt, electronically scan, peel semiconductor components, decompile, or
otherwise reverse engineer in any manner or attempt to reverse engineer or
derive source code from, all or any portion of the Sony Materials, or permit,
assist or encourage any third party to do so. Other than as expressly permitted
by SCEA in writing, Publisher shall not use, modify, reproduce, sublicense,
distribute, create derivative works from, or otherwise provide to third
parties, the Sony Materials, in whole or in part, other than as expressly
permitted by SCEA. SCEA shall permit Publisher to study the performance, design
and operation of the Development Tools solely for the limited purposes of
developing and testing Publisher's software applications, or to build tools to
assist Publisher with the development and testing of software applications for
Licensed Products. Any tools developed or derived by Publisher resulting from
the study of the performance, design or operation of the Development Tools
shall be considered as derivative products of the Sony Materials for copyright
purposes, but may be treated as trade secrets of Publisher. In no event shall
Publisher patent any tools created, developed or derived from Sony Materials.
Publisher shall not make available to any third party any tools developed or
derived from the study of the Development Tools without the express written
permission of SCEA. Use of such tools shall be strictly limited to the creation
or testing of Licensed Products and any other use, direct or indirect of such
tools is strictly prohibited. Publisher shall be required in all cases to pay
royalties in accordance with Section 8 hereto to SCEA on any of Publisher's
products utilizing any Sony Materials or derivative works made therefrom.
Moreover, Publisher shall bear all risks arising from incompatibility of its
Licensed Product and the System resulting from use of Publisher-created tools.
The burden of proof under this Section shall be on Publisher, and SCEA reserves
the right to require Publisher to furnish evidence satisfactory to SCEA that
Publisher has complied with this Section.

     4.2  RESERVATION OF SCEA'S RIGHTS.

          4.2.1     LIMITATION OF RIGHTS TO LICENSES GRANTED. The licenses
granted in this Agreement extend only to the publication, development,
manufacture, marketing, distribution and sale of Licensed Products for use on
the System, in such formats as may be designated by SCEA. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise provided herein, Publisher
shall not distribute or transmit the Executable Software or the Licensed
Products via electronic means or any other means now known or hereafter
devised, including without limitation, via wireless, cable, fiber optic means,
telephone lines, microwave and/or radio waves, or over a network of computers
or other devices. Notwithstanding this limitation, Publisher may electronically
transmit Executable Software from site to site, or from machine to machine over
a computer network, for the sole purpose of facilitating development; provided
that no right of retransmission shall attach to any such transmission, and
provided further that Publisher shall use reasonable security measures
customary within the high technology industry to reduce the risk of
unauthorized interception or retransmission of such transmissions. This
Agreement does not grant any right or license, under any SCEA Intellectual
Property Rights or otherwise, except as expressly provided herein, and no other
right or license is to be implied by or inferred from any provision of this
Agreement or the conduct of the parties hereunder.

          4.2.2     OTHER USE OF SONY MATERIALS AND SCEA INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHTS. Publisher shall not make use of any Sony Materials or any SCEA
Intellectual Property Rights (or any portion thereof) except as authorized by
and in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Publisher shall not
use the Executable Software, Sony Materials or SCEA's Confidential Information
in connection with the development of any software for any emulator or other
computer hardware or software system. No right, license or privilege has been
granted to Publisher hereunder concerning the development of any collateral
product or other use or purpose of any kind whatsoever which displays or
depicts any of the Licensed Trademarks. The rights set forth in Section 2.1(v)
hereto are limited to the right to sublicense such rights to end users for
non-commercial use; any public performance relating to the Licensed Product or
the System is prohibited unless expressly authorized in writing by SCEA.


                                       4
<PAGE>   7

     4.3  RESERVATION OF PUBLISHER'S RIGHTS. Separate and apart from Sony
Materials and other rights licensed to Publisher by SCEA hereunder, as between
Publisher and SCEA, Publisher retains all rights, title and interest in and to
the Product Software, and the Product Proposals and Product Information related
thereto, including without limitation Publisher Intellectual Property Rights
therein, as well as Publisher rights in any source code and other underlying
material such as artwork and music related thereto and any names used as titles
for Licensed Products and other trademarks used by Publisher. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to restrict the right of Publisher to develop,
distribute or transmit products incorporating the Product Software and such
underlying material (separate and apart from the Sony Materials) for any
hardware platform or service other than the System, or to use Printed Materials
or Advertising Materials approved by SCEA as provided herein (provided that
such Printed Materials and/or Advertising Materials do not contain any Licensed
Trademarks) as Publisher determines for such other platforms. SCEA shall not do
or cause to be done any act or thing in any way impairing or tending to impair
or dilute any of Publisher's rights, title or interests hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Publisher shall not distribute or transmit
Product Software which is intended to be used with the System via electronic
means or any other means now known or hereafter devised, including without
limitation, via wireless, cable, fiber optic means, telephone lines, microwave
and/or radio waves, or other a network of computers or other devices, except as
otherwise permitted in Section 4.2.1 hereto.

     4.4  ADDITIONS TO AND DELETIONS FROM LICENSED TERRITORY. SCEA may, from
time to time, add one or more countries to the Licensed Territory by providing
written notice of such addition to Publisher. SCEA shall also have the right to
delete, and intends to delete any countries from the Licensed Territory if, in
SCEA's reasonable judgment, the laws or enforcement of such laws in such
countries do not protect SCEA Intellectual Property Rights. In the event a
country is deleted from the Licensed Territory, SCEA shall deliver to Publisher
a notice stating the number of days within which Publisher shall cease
distributing Licensed Products, and retrieve any Development Tools located, in
any such deleted country. Publisher shall cease distributing Licensed Products,
and retrieve any Development Tools, directly or through subcontractors, by the
end of the period stated in such notice.

     4.5  SOURCEBOOK 2 REQUIREMENT. Publisher shall be required to comply with
all the provisions of the SourceBook 2, including without limitation the
Technical Requirements Checklist therein, when published, or within a
commercially reasonable time following its publication to incorporate such
provisions, as if such provisions were set forth in this Agreement.

5.   QUALITY STANDARDS FOR THE LICENSED PRODUCTS.

     5.1  QUALITY ASSURANCE GENERALLY. The Licensed Products (and all portions
thereof) and Publisher's use of any Licensed Trademarks shall be subject to
SCEA's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed and which shall be within SCEA's sole discretion as to acceptable
standards of quality. SCEA shall have the right at any stage of the development
of a Licensed Product to review such Licensed Product to ensure that it meets
SCEA's quality assurance standards. All Licensed Products will be developed to
substantially utilize the particular capabilities of the System's proprietary
hardware, software and graphics. No approval by SCEA of any element or stage of
development of any Licensed Product shall be deemed an approval of any other
element or stage of such Licensed Product, nor shall any such approval be
deemed to constitute a waiver of any of SCEA's rights under this Agreement. In
addition, SCEA's approval of any element or any stage of development of any
Licensed Product shall not release Publisher from any of its representations
and warranties in Section 9.2 hereunder.

     5.2  PRODUCT PROPOSALS.

          5.2.1 SUBMISSION OF PRODUCT PROPOSAL. Publisher shall submit to SCEA
for SCEA's written approval or disapproval, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, a written proposal (the "Product Proposal"). Such Product
Proposal must contain all information specified in the SourceBook 2, as well as
any additional information that SCEA may deem to be useful in evaluating the
proposed Licensed Product.

     5.2.2 APPROVAL OF PRODUCT PROPOSAL. After SCEA's review of Publisher's
Product Proposal, Publisher will receive written notice from SCEA of the status
of the Product Proposal, which may range from "Approved" to "Not Approved." Such
conditions shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the SourceBook 2, and
may be changed from time to time by SCEA. If a Product Proposal is "Not
Approved", then neither Publisher nor any other Licensed Developer or Licensed
Publisher may re-submit such Product Proposal without significant, substantive
revisions. SCEA shall have no obligation to approve any Product Proposal
submitted by Publisher. Any development conducted by or at the direction of
Publisher and any legal commitment relating to development work shall be at
Publisher's own financial and commercial risk. Publisher shall not construe
approval of a Product Proposal as a commitment by SCEA to grant final approval
to such Licensed Product. Nothing herein shall restrict SCEA from commercially
exploiting any coincidentally similar concept(s) and/or product(s), which have
been independently developed by SCEA, an Affiliate of SCEA or any third party.

     5.2.3 CHANGES TO PRODUCT PROPOSAL. Publisher shall notify SCEA promptly in
writing in the event of any material proposed change in any portion of


                                       5

<PAGE>   8
the Product Proposal. SCEA's approval of a Product Proposal shall not obligate
Publisher to continue with development or production of the proposed Licensed
Product, provided that Publisher must immediately notify SCEA in writing if it
discontinues, cancels or otherwise delays past the original scheduled delivery
date the development of any proposed Licensed Product. In the event that
Publisher licenses a proposed Licensed Product from another Licensed Publisher
or a Licensed Developer, it shall immediately notify SCEA of such change and
must re-submit such Licensed Product to SCEA for approval in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.2.1 above.

     5.3  WORK-IN-PROGRESS.

          5.3.1  SUBMISSION AND REVIEW OF WORK-IN-PROGRESS. SCEA shall require
Publisher to submit to SCEA work-in-progress on Licensed Products at certain
intervals throughout their development and, upon written notice to Publisher, at
any time during the development process. Upon approval of the Product Proposal,
Publisher must, within the time frame indicated in the approval letter,
communicate with SCEA and mutually agree on a framework for the review of such
Licensed Product throughout the development process ("Review Process"). Once the
Review Process has begun, Publisher shall be responsible for submitting
work-in-progress to SCEA in accordance with such Review Process. FAILURE TO
SUBMIT WORK-IN-PROGRESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY STAGE OF THE REVIEW PROCESS MAY,
AT SCEA'S DISCRETION, RESULT IN REVOCATION OF APPROVAL OF SUCH PRODUCT PROPOSAL.

          5.3.2  APPROVAL OF WORK IN PROGRESS. SCEA shall have the right to
approve, reject or require additional information with respect to each stage of
the Review Process. SCEA shall specify in writing the reasons for any such
rejection or request for additional information and shall state what corrections
and/or improvements are necessary. If any stage of the Review Process is not
provided to SCEA or is not successfully met after a reasonable cure period
agreed to between SCEA and Publisher, SCEA shall have the right to revoke the
approval of Publisher's Product Proposal.

          5.3.3  CANCELLATION OR DELAY; CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. Licensed
Products which are canceled by Publisher or are late in meeting the final
Executable Software delivery date by more than three (3) months (without
agreeing with SCEA on a modified final delivery date) shall be subject to the
termination provisions set forth in Section 14.3 hereto. In addition, failure
to make changes required by SCEA to the Licensed Product at any stage of the
Review Process, or making material changes to the Licensed Product without
SCEA's approval, may subject Publisher to the termination provisions set forth
in Section 14.3 hereto.

     5.4  APPROVAL OF EXECUTABLE SOFTWARE. On or before the date specified in
the Product Proposal or as determined by SCEA pursuant to the Review Process,
Publisher shall deliver to SCEA for its inspection and evaluation, a final
version of the Executable Software for the proposed Licensed Product. SCEA will
evaluate such Executable Software and notify Publisher in writing of its
approval or disapproval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
If such Executable Software is disapproved, SCEA shall specify in writing the
reasons for such disapproval and state what corrections and improvements are
necessary. After making the necessary corrections and improvements, Publisher
shall submit a new version of such Executable Software for SCEA's approval.
SCEA shall have the right to disapprove Executable Software if it fails to
comply with SCEA's corrections or improvements or one or more conditions as set
forth in the SourceBook 2 with no obligation to review all elements of any
version of Executable Software. All final versions of Executable Software shall
be submitted in the format prescribed by SCEA and shall include such number of
Master Discs as SCEA may require from time to time. Publisher hereby (i)
warrants that all final versions of Executable Software are fully tested; (ii)
shall use its best efforts to ensure such Executable Software is fully debugged
prior to submission to SCEA; and (iii) warrants that all versions of Executable
Software comply or will comply with standards set forth in the SourceBook 2 or
other documentation provided by SCEA to Publisher. In addition, prior to
manufacture of Executable Software, Publisher must sign an accountability form
stating that (x) Publisher approves the release of such Executable Software for
manufacture in its current form and (y) Publisher shall be fully responsible
for any problems related to such Executable Software.

     5.5  PRINTED MATERIALS.

          5.5.1     COMPLIANCE WITH GUIDELINES. For each proposed Licensed
Product, Publisher shall be responsible, at Publisher's expense, for creating
and developing Printed Materials. All Printed Materials shall comply with the
Guidelines, which may be amended from time to time, provided that Publisher
shall, except as otherwise provided herein, only be required to implement
amended Guidelines in subsequent orders of Printed Materials and shall not be
required to recall or destroy previously manufactured Printed Materials, unless
such Printed Materials do not comply with the original requirements in the
Guidelines or unless explicitly required to do so in writing by SCEA.

          5.5.2     SUBMISSION AND APPROVAL OF PRINTED MATERIALS. No later than
submission of final Executable Software for a proposed Licensed Product.
Publisher shall also deliver to SCEA, for review and evaluation, the proposed
final Printed Materials and a form of limited warranty for the proposed
Licensed Product. Failure to meet any scheduled release dates for a Licensed
Product is solely the risk and responsibility of Publisher, and SCEA assumes no
responsibility for Publisher failing to meet such scheduled release dates due
to this submission process. The


                                       6
<PAGE>   9
quality of such Printed Materials shall be of the same quality as that
associated with other commercially available high quality software products. If
any of the Printed Materials are disapproved, SCEA shall specify the reasons for
such disapproval and state what corrections are necessary. SCEA shall have no
liability to Publisher for costs incurred or irrevocably committed to by
Publisher for production of Printed Materials that are disapproved by SCEA.
After making the necessary corrections to any disapproved Printed Materials,
Publisher must submit new Printed Materials for approval by SCEA. SCEA shall not
unreasonably withhold or delay its review of Printed Materials.

     5.6  ADVERTISING MATERIALS.

          5.6.1  SUBMISSION AND APPROVAL OF ADVERTISING MATERIALS.
Pre-production samples of all Advertising Materials shall be submitted by
Publisher to SCEA, at Publisher's expense, prior to any actual production, use
or distribution of any such items by Publisher or on its behalf. SCEA shall
evaluate and approve such Advertising Materials, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, as to the following standards: (i) the
content, quality, and style of the overall advertisement; (ii) the quality,
style, appearance and usage of any of the Licensed Trademarks; (iii) appropriate
references of any required notices; and (iv) compliance with the Guidelines. If
any of the Advertising Materials are disapproved, SCEA shall specify the reasons
for such disapproval and state what corrections are necessary. SCEA may require
Publisher to immediately withdraw and reprint any Advertising Materials that
have been published but have not received the written approval of SCEA. SCEA
shall have no liability to Publisher for costs incurred or irrevocably committed
to by Publisher for production of Advertising Materials that are disapproved by
SCEA. For each Licensed Product, Publisher shall be required to deliver to SCEA
an accountability form stating that all Advertising Materials for such Licensed
Product comply or will comply with the Guidelines for use of the Licensed
Trademarks. After making the necessary corrections to any disapproved
Advertising Materials, Publisher must submit new proposed Advertising Materials
for approval by SCEA.

          5.6.2  FAILURE TO COMPLY; THREE STRIKES PROGRAM. PUBLISHERS WHO FAIL
TO OBTAIN SCEA'S APPROVAL OF ADVERTISING MATERIALS PRIOR TO BROADCAST OR
PUBLICATION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE "THREE STRIKES" PROGRAM
OUTLINED IN THE SOURCEBOOK 2. FAILURE TO OBTAIN SCEA'S APPROVAL OF ADVERTISING
MATERIALS COULD RESULT IN TERMINATION OF THIS LPA OR TERMINATION OF APPROVAL OF
THE LICENSED PRODUCT, OR COULD SUBJECT PUBLISHER TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION
14.4 HERETO. Failure to meet any scheduled release dates for Advertising
Materials is solely the risk and responsibility of Publisher, and SCEA assumes
no responsibility for Publisher failing to meet such scheduled release dates due
to approval requirements as set forth in this Section.

          5.6.3  SCEA MATERIALS. Subject in each instance to the prior written
approval of SCEA, Publisher may use advertising materials owned by SCEA
pertaining to the System or to the Licensed Trademarks on such Advertising
Materials as may, in the Publisher's judgment, promote the sale of Licensed
Products.

     5.7  RATING REQUIREMENTS.  If required by SCEA or any governmental entity,
Publisher shall submit each Licensed Product to a consumer advisory ratings
system designated by SCEA and/or such governmental entity for the purpose of
obtaining rating code(s) for each Licensed Product. Any and all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such rating code(s) shall be
borne solely by Publisher. Any required consumer advisory rating code(s)
procured hereby shall be displayed on the Licensed Product and in the associated
Printed Materials and Advertising Materials, at Publisher's cost and expense, in
accordance with the SourceBook 2 or other documentation provided by SCEA to
Publisher.

     5.8  PUBLISHER'S ADDITIONAL QUALITY ASSURANCE OBLIGATIONS. If at any time
or times subsequent to the approval of Executable Software and Printed
Materials, SCEA identifies any material defects (such materiality to be
determined by SCEA in its sole discretion) with respect to the Licensed Product,
or in the event that SCEA identifies any improper use of its Licensed Trademarks
or Sony Materials with respect to the Licensed Product, or any such material
defects or improper use are brought to the attention of SCEA, Publisher shall,
at no cost to SCEA, promptly correct any such material defects, or improper use
of Licensed Trademarks or Sony Materials, to SCEA's commercially reasonable
satisfaction, which may include, if necessary in SCEA's judgment, the recall
and re-release of such Licensed Product. In the event any Units of Licensed
Products create any risk of loss or damage to any property or injury to any
person, Publisher shall immediately take effective steps, at Publisher's sole
liability and expense, to recall and/or remove such defective Units from any
affected channels of distribution, provided, however, that if Publisher is not
acting as the distributor and/or seller for the Licensed Products, its
obligation hereunder shall be to use its best efforts to arrange removal of
such Licensed Product from channels of distribution. Publisher shall provide
all end-user support for the Licensed Products and SCEA expressly disclaims any
obligation to provide end-user support on Publisher's Licensed Products.

6.   MANUFACTURE OF THE LICENSED PRODUCTS.

     6.1  MANUFACTURE OF UNITS.  Upon approval of Executable Software and
associated Printed Materials pursuant to Section 5, and subject to Sections
6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.4 below, the Designated Manufacturing Facility

<PAGE>   10
will, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6,
and at Publisher's expense (a) manufacture PlayStation 2 Format Discs for
Publisher; (b) manufacture Publisher's Packaging and/or Printed Materials;
and/or (c) assemble the PlayStation 2 Format Discs with the Printed Materials
and the Packaging. Publisher shall comply with all Manufacturing Specifications
related to the particular terms set forth herein. SCEA reserves the right to
insert or require the Publisher to insert certain Printed Materials relating to
the System or Licensed Trademarks into each Unit.

          6.1.1  MANUFACTURE OF PLAYSTATION 2 FORMAT DISCS.

               6.1.1.1  DESIGNATED MANUFACTURING FACILITIES. To insure
compatibility of the PlayStation 2 Format Discs with the System, consistent
quality of the Licensed Product and incorporation of anti-piracy security
systems, SCEA shall designate and license a Designated Manufacturing Facility to
reproduce PlayStation 2 Format Discs. Publisher shall purchase [*] of its
requirements for PlayStation 2 Format Discs from such Designated Manufacturing
Facility during the term of the Agreement. Any Designated Manufacturing Facility
shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

               6.1.1.2  CREATION OF MASTER CD-ROM OR DVD-ROM. Pursuant to
Section 5.4 in connection with final testing of Executable Software, Publisher
shall provide SCEA with the number of Master Discs specified in the
SourceBook 2. A Designated Manufacturing Facility shall create from one of the
fully approved Master Discs provided by Publisher the original master CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM, from which all other copies of the Licensed Product are to be
replicated. Publisher shall be responsible for the costs, as determined by the
Designated Manufacturing Facility, of producing such original master. In order
to insure against loss or damage to the copies of the Executable Software
furnished to SCEA, Publisher will retain duplicates of all Master Discs, and
neither SCEA nor any Designated Manufacturing Facility shall be liable for loss
of or damage to any Master Discs or Executable Software.

          6.1.2  MANUFACTURE OF PRINTED MATERIALS.

          6.1.2.1   MANUFACTURE BY DESIGNATED MANUFACTURING FACILITY. If
Publisher elects to obtain Printed Materials from a Designated Manufacturing
Facility, Publisher shall deliver all SCEA-approved Printed Materials to that
Designated Manufacturing Facility, at Publisher's sole risk and expense, and
the Designated Manufacturing Facility will manufacture such Printed Materials
in accordance with this Section 6. In order to insure against loss or damage to
the copies of the Printed Materials furnished to SCEA, Publisher will retain
duplicates of all Printed Materials, and neither SCEA nor any Designated
Manufacturing Facility shall be liable for loss of or damage to any such
Printed Materials.

          6.1.2.2   MANUFACTURE BY ALTERNATE SOURCE. Subject to SCEA's approval
as provided in Section 5.5.2 hereto and in this Section, Publisher may elect to
be responsible for manufacturing its own Printed Materials (other than any
Artwork which may be placed directly upon the PlayStation Disc, which Publisher
will supply to the Designated Manufacturing Facility for placement), at
Publisher's sole risk and expense. Prior to production of each order, Publisher
shall be required to supply SCEA with samples of any Printed Materials not
produced or supplied by a Designated Manufacturing Facility, at no charge to
SCEA or Designated Manufacturing Facility, for SCEA's approval with respect to
the quality thereof. SCEA shall have the right to disapprove any Printed
Materials that do not comply with the Manufacturing Specifications.
Manufacturing Specifications for Printed Materials shall be comparable to
manufacturing specifications applied by SCEA to its own software products for
the System. If Publisher elects to supply its own Printed Materials, neither
SCEA nor any Designated Manufacturing Facility shall be responsible for any
delays arising from use of Publisher's own Printed Materials.

          6.1.3  MANUFACTURE OF PACKAGING.

               6.1.3.1  MANUFACTURE BY DESIGNATED MANUFACTURING FACILITY. To
ensure consistent quality of the Licensed Products, SCEA may designate and
license a Designated Manufacturing Facility to reproduce proprietary Packaging
for the System. If SCEA creates proprietary Packaging for the System, then
Publisher shall purchase all of its requirements for such proprietary Packaging
from a Designated Manufacturing Facility during the term of the Agreement, and
the Designated Manufacturing Facility will manufacture such Packaging in
accordance with this Section 6.

               6.1.3.2  MANUFACTURE BY ALTERNATE SOURCE. If SCEA elects to use
standard, non-proprietary Packaging for the System, then Publisher may elect to
be responsible for manufacturing its own Packaging (other than any proprietary
labels and any portion of a container containing Licensed Trademarks, which
Publisher must purchase from a Designated Manufacturing Facility). Publisher
shall assume all responsibility for the creation of such Packaging at
Publisher's sole risk and expense. Publisher shall be responsible for encoding
and printing proprietary edge labels provided by a Designated Manufacturing
Facility with information reasonably specified by SCEA from time to time and
will apply such labels to each Unit of the Licensed Product as reasonably
specified by SCEA. Prior to production of each order, Publisher shall be
required to supply SCEA with samples of any Packaging not produced or supplied
by a Designated Manufacturing Facility, at no charge to SCEA or Designated
Manufacturing Facility, for SCEA's approval with respect to the quality
thereof. SCEA

                                       8

<PAGE>   11
shall have the right to disapprove any Packaging that does not comply with the
Manufacturing Specifications. Manufacturing Specifications for Packaging shall
be comparable to manufacturing specifications applied by SCEA to its own
software products for the System. If Publisher procures Packaging from an
alternate source, then it must also procure assembly services from an alternate
source. If Publisher elects to supply its own Packaging, neither SCEA nor any
Designated Manufacturing Facility shall be responsible for any delays arising
from use of Publisher's own Packaging.

          6.1.4  ASSEMBLY SERVICES.  Publisher may either procure assembly
services from a Designated Manufacturing Facility or from an alternate source.
If Publisher elects to be responsible for assembling the Licensed Products, then
the Designated Manufacturing Facility shall ship the component parts of the
Licensed Product to a destination provided by Publisher, at Publisher's sole
risk and expense. SCEA shall have the right to inspect any assembly facilities
utilized by Publisher in order to determine if the component parts of the
Licensed Products are being assembled in accordance with SCEA's quality
standards. SCEA may require that Publisher recall any Licensed Products that do
not contain proprietary labels or other material component parts or that
otherwise fail to comply with the Manufacturing Specifications. If Publisher
elects to use alternate assembly facilities, neither SCEA nor any Designated
Manufacturing Facility shall be responsible for any delays or missing component
parts arising from use of alternate assembly facilities.

     6.2  PRICE, PAYMENT AND TERMS.

          6.2.1  PRICE.  The applicable price for manufacture of any Units of
Licensed Products ordered hereunder shall be provided to Publisher by the
Designated Manufacturing Facility. Purchase shall be subject to the terms and
conditions set out in any purchase order form supplied to Publisher by the
Designated Manufacturing Facility.

          6.2.2  ORDERS.  Publisher shall issue to a Designated Manufacturing
Facility a written Purchase Order(s) in the form set forth and containing the
information required in the Manufacturing Specifications, with a copy to SCEA.
All orders shall be subject to approval by SCEA, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Purchase Orders issued by Publisher to a
Designated Manufacturing Facility for each Licensed Product approved by SCEA
shall be non-cancelable and be subject to the order requirements of the
Designated Manufacturing Facility.

          6.2.3  PAYMENT TERMS.  Purchase Orders will be invoiced as soon as
reasonably practical after receipt, and such invoice will include both
manufacturing price and royalties payable pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2 hereto
for each Unit of Licensed Products ordered. Each invoice will be payable either
on a cash-in-advance basis or pursuant to a letter of credit, or, at SCEA's
sole discretion, on credit terms. Terms for cash-in-advance and letter of
credit payments shall be as set forth in the SourceBook 2. All amounts
hereunder shall be payable in United States dollars. All associated banking
charges with respect to payments of manufacturing costs and royalties shall be
borne solely by Publisher.

                 6.2.3.1  CREDIT TERMS.  SCEA may at its sole discretion extend
credit terms and limits to Publisher. SCEA may also revoke such credit terms
and limits at its sole discretion. If Publisher qualifies for credit terms,
then orders will be invoiced upon shipment of Licensed Products and each
invoice will be payable within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. Any
overdue sums shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2%)
percent per month, or such lower rate as may be the maximum rate permitted
under applicable law, from the date when payment first became due to and
including the date of payment thereof. Publisher shall be additionally liable
for all costs and expenses of collection, including without limitation,
reasonable fees for attorneys and court costs.

                 6.2.3.2  GENERAL TERMS.  No deduction may be made from
remittances unless an approved credit memo has been issued by a Designated
Manufacturing Facility. Neither SCEA nor a Designated Manufacturing Facility
shall be responsible for shortage or breakage with respect to any order if
component parts and/or assembly services are obtained from alternate sources.
Each shipment to Publisher shall constitute a separate sale, whether said
shipment be whole or partial fulfillment of any order. Nothing in this
Agreement shall excuse or be construed as a waiver of Publisher's obligation to
timely provide any and all payments owed to SCEA and Designated Manufacturing
Facility.

     6.3  DELIVERY OF LICENSED PRODUCTS.  Neither SCEA nor any Designated
Manufacturing Facility shall have an obligation to store completed Units of
Licensed Products. Publisher may either specify a mode of delivery or allow
Designated Manufacturing Facility to select a mode of delivery.

     6.4  OWNERSHIP OF MASTER DISCS.  Due to the proprietary nature of the
mastering process, neither SCEA nor a Designated Manufacturing Facility shall
under any circumstances release any original master CD-ROM, Master Discs or
other in-process materials to Publisher. All such materials shall be and remain
the sole property of SCEA or Designated Manufacturing Facility. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Publisher Intellectual Property Rights contained in Product
Software that is contained in such in-process materials is, as between SCEA and
Publisher, the sole and exclusive property of Publisher or its licensors (other
than SCEA and/or it affiliates).

7.    MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION.

      7.1   MARKETING GENERALLY. In accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and at no expense to SCEA, Publisher shall, and shall direct its
distributors to, diligently market, sell and distribute the Licensed Products,
and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to stimulate demand for such
Licensed Products in the Licensed Territory and to supply any resulting demand.
Publisher shall use its reasonable best efforts to protect the Licensed Products
from and against illegal reproduction and/or copying by end users or by any
other persons or entities.

      7.2   SAMPLES. Publisher shall provide to SCEA, at no additional cost, for
SCEA's internal use, [*] sample copies of each Licensed Product. Publisher shall
pay any manufacturing costs to the Designated Manufacturing Facility in
accordance with Section 6.2, but shall not be obligated to pay royalties, in
connection with such sample Units. In the event that Publisher assembles any
Licensed Product using an alternate source, Publisher shall be responsible for
shipping such sample Units to SCEA at Publisher's cost and expense. SCEA shall
not directly or indirectly resell any such sample copies of the Licensed
Products without Publisher's prior written consent. SCEA may give sample copies
to its employees, provided that it uses its reasonable efforts to ensure that
such copies are not sold into the retail market. In addition, subject to
availability, Publisher shall sell to SCEA additional quantities of Licensed
Products at the Wholesale Price for such Licensed Product. Any changes to SCEA's
policy regarding sample Units shall be set forth in the SourceBook 2.

      7.3   MARKETING PROGRAMS OF SCEA. From time to time, SCEA may invite
Publisher to participate in promotional or advertising opportunities that may
feature one or more Licensed Products from one or more Licensed Publishers.
Participation shall be voluntary and subject to terms to be determined at the
time of the opportunity. In the event Publisher elects to participate, all
materials submitted by Publisher to SCEA shall be submitted subject to Section
10.2 hereunder and delivery of such materials to SCEA shall constitute
acceptance by Publisher of the terms of the offer. Moreover, SCEA may use the
Generic Line on all multi-product marketing materials, unless otherwise agreed
in writing.

      7.4   DEMONSTRATION DISC PROGRAMS. SCEA may from time to time, provide
opportunities for Publisher to participate in SCEA Demo Disc programs. In
addition, SCEA may, from time to time, grant to Publisher the right to create
Third Party Demo Discs pursuant to SCEA Established Third Party Demo Disc
Programs. The specifications with respect to the approval, creation,
manufacture, marketing, distribution and sale of any such demo disc programs
shall be set forth in the SourceBook 2 or in other documentation to be provided
by SCEA to Publisher. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, in the
SourceBook 2 or in other documentation, Third Party Demo Discs shall be
considered "Licensed Products" and shall be subject in all respects to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement pertaining to Licensed Products. In
addition, the following procedures shall also apply to SCEA Demo Discs and
Third Party Demo Discs:

            7.4.1 SCEA DEMO DISCS.

               7.4.1.1  LICENSE. SCEA may, but shall not be obligated to,
invite Licensed Publishers to participate in any SCEA Demo Disc program.
Participation by Publisher in an SCEA Demo Disc program shall be optional. If
Publisher elects to participate in an SCEA Demo Disc program and provides
Product Information to SCEA in connection thereto, Publisher shall thereby
grant to SCEA a royalty-free license during the term of this Agreement in the
Licensed Territory to manufacture, use, sell, distribute, market, advertise and
otherwise promote Publisher's Product Information as part of such SCEA Demo
Disc program. In addition, Publisher shall grant SCEA the right to feature
Publisher and Licensed Product names in SCEA Demo Disc Advertising Materials
and to use copies of screen displays generated by the code, representative
video samples or other Product Information in such SCEA Demo Disc Advertising
Materials. All decisions relating to the selection of first and third party
Product Information and all other aspects of SCEA Demo Discs shall be in the
sole discretion of SCEA.

               7.4.1.2  SUBMISSION AND APPROVAL OF PRODUCT INFORMATION. Upon
receipt of written notice that SCEA has tentatively chosen Publisher's Product
Information for inclusion in an SCEA Demo Disc, Publisher shall deliver to SCEA
such requested Product Information by no later than the deadline set forth in
such notice. Separate notice will be sent for each SCEA Demo Disc, and
Publisher must sign each notice prior to inclusion in such SCEA Demo Disc.
Publisher shall include its own Legal Copy on the title screen or elsewhere in
the Product Information submitted to SCEA. SCEA shall only provide the Generic
Line on the SCEA Demo Disc title screen and packaging. Publisher's Product
Information shall comply with SCEA's technical specifications provided to
Publisher. SCEA reserves the right to review and test the Product Information
provided and request revisions prior to inclusion on the SCEA Demo Disc. If
SCEA requests changes to the Product Information and Publisher elects to
continue to participate in such Demo Disc, Publisher shall make such changes as
soon as possible after receipt of written notice of such requested changes from
SCEA, but not later than the deadline for receipt of Product Information.
Failure to make such changes and provide the modified Product Information to
SCEA by the deadline shall result in the Product Information to SCEA by the
deadline shall result in the Product Information being removed from the SCEA
Demo Disc. Costs associated with preparation of Product Information supplied to
SCEA shall be borne solely by Publisher. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section, SCEA shall not edit or modify Product

                                       10
<PAGE>   13
Information provided to SCEA by Publisher without Publisher's consent, not to
be unreasonably withheld. SCEA shall have the right to use subcontractors to
assist in the development of any SCEA Demo Disc. With respect to Product
Information provided by Publisher in demo form, the demo delivered to SCEA
shall not constitute the complete Licensed Product and shall be, at a minimum,
an amount sufficient to demonstrate the Licensed Product's core features and
value, without providing too much information so as to give consumers a
disincentive to purchase the complete Licensed Product.

                  7.4.1.3 NO OBLIGATION TO PUBLISH. Acceptance of Product
Information for test and review shall not be deemed confirmation that SCEA shall
include the Product Information on an SCEA Demo Disc, nor shall it constitute
approval of any other element of the Licensed Product. SCEA reserves the right
to choose from products submitted from other Licensed Publishers and first party
products to determine the products to be included in SCEA Demo Discs, and
Publisher's Licensed Products will not be guaranteed prominence or preferential
treatment on any SCEA Demo Disc. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating
an obligation of SCEA to publish Product Information submitted by Publisher in
any SCEA Demo Disc, nor shall SCEA be obligated to publish, advertise or promote
any SCEA Demo Disc.

                  7.4.1.4 SCEA DEMO DISCS SOLD AT RETAIL. Publisher is aware and
acknowledges that certain SCEA Demo Discs may be distributed and sold by SCEA in
the retail market. If Publisher elects to participate in any SCEA Demo Disc
program which is sold in the retail market, as notified by SCEA to Publisher,
Publisher acknowledges prior to participation in any such SCEA Demo Disc that it
is aware of no limitations regarding Product Information provided to SCEA
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which would in any way restrict SCEA's
ability to distribute or sell such SCEA Demo Disc at retail, nor does Publisher
or it licensors (other than SCEA and/or its affiliates) have any participation
of receiving any compensation from such retail sales. In the event that SCEA
institutes a SCEA Demo Disc in which a fee and/or royalty is charged to
Publisher, SCEA and Publisher will enter into a separate agreement regarding
such SCEA Demo Disc.

            7.4.2 THIRD PARTY DEMO DISCS.

                  7.4.2.1 LICENSE. Publisher may participate in any SCEA
Established Third Party Demo Disc Program. Publisher shall notify SCEA of its
intention to participate in any such program and upon receipt of such notice,
SCEA shall grant to Publisher the right and license to use Licensed Products in
Third Party Demo Discs and to use, distribute, market, advertise and otherwise
promote (and, if permitted in accordance with the terms of any SCEA Established
Third Party Program or otherwise permitted by SCEA, to sell) such Third Party
Demo Discs in accordance with the SourceBook 2, which may be modified from time
to time at the sole discretion of SCEA. Unless separately agreed in writing with
SCEA. Third Party Demo Discs shall not be used, distributed, promoted, bundled
or sold in conjunction with other products. In addition, SCEA hereby consents to
the use of the Licensed Trademarks in connection with Third Party Demo Discs,
subject to the approval procedures set forth in this Agreement. If any SCEA
Established Third Party Demo Disc Program is specified by SCEA to be for
promotional use only and not for resale, and such Third Party Demo Disc is
subsequently discovered to be for sale, Publisher's right to produce Third Party
Demo Discs shall thereupon be automatically revoked, and SCEA shall have the
right to terminate any related Third Party Demo Discs in accordance with the
terms of Section 14.3 or 14.4 hereto.

                  7.4.2.2 SUBMISSION AND APPROVAL OF THIRD PARTY DEMO DISCS.
Publisher shall deliver to SCEA, fir SCEA's prior approval, a final version of
each Third Party Demo Disc in a format prescribed by SCEA. Such Third Party Demo
Disc shall comply with all requirements provided to Publisher by SCEA in the
SourceBook 2 or otherwise. In addition, SCEA shall evaluate the Third Party Demo
Disc in accordance with the approval provisions for Executable Software and
Printed Materials set forth in Sections 5.4 and 5.5, respectively. Furthermore,
Publisher shall obtain the approval of SCEA in connection with any Advertising
Materials relating to the Third Party Demo Discs in accordance with the approval
provisions set forth in Section 5.6. Costs associated with Third Party Demo Disc
shall be borne solely by Publisher. No approval by SCEA of any element of any
Third Party Demo Disc shall be deemed an approval of any other element thereto,
nor does any such approval constitute final approval for the related Licensed
Product. Unless otherwise permitted by SCEA, Publisher shall clearly and
conspicuously state on all Third Party Demo Disc Packaging and Printed Materials
that the Third Party Demo Disc is for promotional purposes only and not for
resale.

                  7.4.2.3 MANUFACTURE AND ROYALTY OF THIRD PARTY DEMO DISCS.
Publisher shall comply with all Manufacturing Specifications with respect to the
manufacture and payment for manufacturing costs of Third Party Demo Discs, and
Publisher shall also comply with all terms and conditions of Section 6 hereto.
No costs incurred in the development, manufacture, licensing, production,
marketing and/or distribution (and if permitted by SCEA, sale) of the Third
Party Demo Disc shall be deducted from any amounts payable to SCEA hereunder.
Royalties on Third Party Demo Disc shall be as provided in Section 8.2.

      7.5   CONTESTS AND SWEEPSTAKES OF PUBLISHER. SCEA acknowledges that, from
time to time, Publisher may conduct contests and sweepstakes to promote
Licensed Products. SCEA shall permit Publisher to include contest or
sweepstakes materials in Printed


                                       11
<PAGE>   14
Materials and Advertising Materials, subject to compliance with the approval
provisions of Section 5.5 and 5.6 hereunder, compliance with the provisions of
Section 9.2 and 10.2 hereunder, and subject to the following additional terms
and conditions:

     (i)   Publisher represents that it has retained the services of a
fulfillment house to administer the contest or sweepstakes and if it has not
retained the services of a fulfillment house, Publisher represents and warrants
that it has the expertise to conduct such contests or sweepstakes, and in any
event, Publisher shall assume full responsibility for all aspects of such

     8.2  THIRD PARTY DEMO DISC PROGRAM ROYALTIES: Publisher shall pay SCEA a
per Unit royalty in United States dollars of     [*]            for each Third

terms to Publisher. The accounting statement due hereunder shall be subject to
the audit and accounting provisions set forth in paragraph 16.2 below. No costs
incurred in the development, manufacture, marketing, sale and/or distribution of
the Licensed Products shall be deducted from any royalties payable to SCEA
hereunder. Similarly, there shall be no deduction from the royalties otherwise
owed to SCEA hereunder as a result of any uncollectible accounts owed to
Publisher, or for any credits, discounts, allowances or returns which Publisher

Licensed Products, or for any taxes, fees, assessments or expenses of any kind
which may be incurred by Publisher in connection with its sale or distribution
of any Units of the Licensed Products or arising with respect to the payment, of
royalties hereunder. In addition to the royalty payments provided to SCEA
hereunder, Publisher shall be solely responsible for and bear any cost relating

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

          8.4.1 STANDARD REBATE PROGRAM. All Publishers qualify for the Standard
Rebate program. Rebates will be offered on an individual title basis. Rebates
will be given to any individual Licensed Product that exceeds the above numbers
of Units during the first year after first commercial shipment of such Licensed
Product. The rebate in effect at the end of such year for the Licensed Product
will remain in effect for as long as Publisher continues to sell such Licensed
Product, but Publisher will not receive further rebates if sales of such
Licensed Product hit additional thresholds as specified above after such year.
The Standard Rebate may not be used in conjunction with a Third Party Demo Disc
program or any promotional program of SCEA, with Licensed Products that qualify
for any "Greatest Hits" program of SCEA or with Licensed Products that qualify
for the       [*]        .

          8.4.2 LEVEL 1 REBATE PROGRAM: To be eligible for the Level 1 Rebate
program, Publisher must ship over   [*]          Units of certain
Licensed Products in a single Fiscal Year. Level 1 Rebates shall be credited to
Publisher on an individual title basis. Other terms of the Level 1 Rebate are
as follows:

     (i) Only Publisher's titles (as determined below) that meet the following
conditions shall count toward the       [*]                   Unit threshold:
Publisher must order at least           [*]               Units of the

Licensed Product both within the first year of commercial release of such
Licensed Product and during the qualifying Fiscal Year.

     (ii) Any Licensed Products, including "Greatest Hits" titles and products
for the original PlayStation game console, but excluding all demo discs, shall
count toward the [*] Unit threshold (provided they meet the conditions set forth
in Section 8.4.2(i) above). For purposes of determining Level 1 Rebate
thresholds and the conditions set forth in Section 8.4.2(i), full priced
Licensed Products and "Greatest Hits" Licensed Products shall be considered
separate Licensed Products, with separate Unit minimums and release dates.

     (iii) Level 1 Rebates shall apply only to Licensed Products (not including
"Greatest Hits" titles, Licensed Products qualifying for the [*] and products
for the original PlayStation game console) ordered in the Fiscal Year following
the Fiscal Year in which the [*] Unit threshold is met. Units of Licensed
Products that qualified Publisher for inclusion in the Level 1 Rebate program in
the previous Fiscal Year shall not be entitled to receive the Level 1 Rebate.

     (iv) Publisher must re-qualify for the Level 1 Rebate Program each Fiscal
Year. If a Publisher fails to requalify for any Fiscal Year, then the Standard
Rebate shall apply in such Fiscal Year. The first Fiscal Year for which a
Publisher may qualify for the Level 1 Rebate shall be the Fiscal Year ending
March 31, 2000, and if the Publisher qualifies for the Level 1 Rebate, it will
apply to Licensed Products ordered in the Fiscal Year commencing April 1, 2000.

     (v) Licensed Products eligible for the Level 1 Rebate program shall not be
eligible for Standard Rebates, and Level 1 Rebates shall supersede Standard
Rebates with respect to any individual Licensed Product. If a Licensed Product
qualifies for the Standard Rebate in one Fiscal Year, and Publisher qualifies
for the Level 1 Rebate in the next Fiscal Year; Units of such Licensed Product
ordered in the next Fiscal Year will receive the Level 1 Rebate commencing on
April 1 of the next Fiscal Year going forward, but such Level 1 Rebate will not
be credited retroactively to Units of the Licensed Product ordered in the
previous Fiscal Year. For example, Publisher orders [*] Units of Product X in
Fiscal Year 2001, receiving a Standard Rebate of [*]. Publisher qualifies for
the Level 1 Rebate in Fiscal Year 2002. Publisher will receive the Level 1
Rebate of [*] commencing with Units ordered on April 1, 2001, but will not
receive a retroactive credit for Units ordered prior to April 1, 2001. When
Publisher reaches the [*] Unit threshold, it will receive a retroactive credit
of [*] on all Level 1 Rebate Units ordered, as well as a retroactive credit of
[*] on Standard Rebate Units ordered in the previous Fiscal Year, and Publisher
will receive the Level 1 Rebate of [*] going forward.

          8.4.3 LEVEL 2 REBATE PROGRAM: To be eligible for the Level 2 Rebate
program, Publisher must ship over [*] Units of certain Licensed Products in any
Fiscal Year. Level 2 Rebates shall be credited to Publisher on an individual
title basis. Other terms of the Level 2 Rebate are as follows:

     (i) Only Publisher's titles (as determined below) that meet the following
conditions shall count toward the [*] Unit threshold: Publisher must order at
least [*] Units of the Licensed Product both within the first year of commercial
release of such Licensed Product and during the qualifying Fiscal Year.

     (ii) Any Licensed Products, including "Greatest Hits" titles and products
for the original PlayStation game console, but excluding all demo discs, shall
count toward the [*] Unit threshold (provided they meet the conditions set forth
in Section 8.4.3(i) above). For purposes of determining Level 2 Rebate
thresholds and the conditions set forth in Section 8.4.2(i), full priced
Licensed Products and "Greatest Hits" Licensed Products shall be considered
separate Licensed Products, with separate Unit minimums and release dates.

     (iii) Level 2 Rebates shall apply only to Licensed Products (not including
"Greatest Hits" titles, Licensed Products qualifying for the [*] and products
for the original PlayStation game console) ordered in the Fiscal Year following
the Fiscal Year in which the [*] Unit threshold is met. Units of Licensed
Products that qualified Publisher for inclusion in the Level 2 Rebate program in
the previous. Fiscal Year shall not be entitled to receive the Level 2 Rebate.

     (iv) Publisher must re-qualify for the Level 2 Rebate Program each Fiscal
Year. If Publisher fails to requalify for any Fiscal Year then the Standard
Rebate or Level 1 Rebate, as the case may be, shall apply in such Fiscal Year.
The first Fiscal Year for which a Publisher may qualify for the Level 2 Rebate
shall be the Fiscal Year ending March 31, 2000, and if the Publisher qualifies
for the Level 2 Rebate, it will apply to Licensed Products ordered in the Fiscal
Year commencing April 1, 2000.

     (v) Licensed Products eligible for the Level 2 Rebate program shall not be
eligible for Standard Rebates or Level 1 Rebates, and Level 2 Rebates shall
supersede Standard Rebates and Level 1 Rebates with respect to any individual
Licensed Product. If a Licensed Product qualifies for the Standard Rebate or
Level 1 Rebate in one Fiscal Year, and Publisher qualifies for the Level 2
Rebate in the next Fiscal Year, Units of such Licensed Product ordered in the
next Fiscal Year will receive the Level 2 Rebate going forward, but such Level 2
Rebate will not be credited retroactively to Units of the Licensed Product
ordered in the previous Fiscal Year. See Section 8.4.2(v) for an example.

     8.5  CALCULATION AND USE OF REBATES. Rebate percentages for all rebate
programs shall be credited against royalties owed SCEA and shall have no other
monetary value. All rebates, whether under the Standard Rebate, Level 1 Rebate
or Level 2 Rebate Programs shall be issued by SCEA as a credit to Publisher for
use against future royalty payments. It is Publisher's responsibility to inform
SCEA when it reaches any rebate threshold. In no event shall Publisher take a
deduction off royalties owed SCEA or deduction off an invoice payable to SCEA
on current production unless and until SCEA issues a credit to Publisher in
writing or unless otherwise agreed in writing. From time to time SCEA may allow
Publisher to use credits in other manners on terms and conditions to be
determined by SCEA. Publisher may use rebate credits to procure Development
Tools. Units of Licensed Products shall be considered "ordered" when Units
first begin to ship from a Designated Manufacturing Facility.

     8.6  REBATE CREDITS. Subject to Sections 8.4.2(v) and 8.4.3(v), all rebate
programs are [*], such that Publisher receives a credit for each rebate
percentage against [*] Units when it reaches the Unit threshold for the next
rebate percentage. SCEA shall credit Publisher's account with respect to [*]
rebates as follows: (A) if Publisher's initial order for a Licensed Product is
less than any rebate threshold provided above, then SCEA shall [*] credit
Publisher's account sixty (60) days following the date that Publisher notifies
SCEA that orders of a Licensed Product exceed any rebate threshold, subject to
SCEA's right to confirm such information; and (B) if Publisher's initial order
for a Licensed Product reaches or exceeds any rebate threshold provided above,
then Publisher may credit the rebate amount set forth above as a separate line
item on the Purchase Order with respect to such Licensed Product, subject to
SCEA's confirmation right.

confidence and not disclose or use (except for the purposes herein specified)
any and all of SCEA's Confidential Information.

        13.1.3 PRESERVATION OF SCEA's CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Publisher
shall, with respect to SCEA's Confidential Information:

     (i) not disclose SCEA's Confidential Information to any person or entity,

employees or directors have agreed not to disclose and to hold confidential all
confidential information and materials (inclusive of those of third parties)
which may be disclosed to them or to which they may have access during the
course of their duties. At SCEA's request, Publisher shall provide SCEA with a

directors, and shall also provided SCEA with a list of employee and director
signatories. Publisher shall not disclose any of SCEA's Confidential Information
to third parties, including without limitation to consultants or agents. Any

Confidential Information be maintained in a restricted access area and plainly

     (v) is approved for release by written authorization of SCEA.

          13.1.5  NO OBLIGATION TO LICENSE. Disclosure of SCEA's Confidential
Information to Publisher shall not constitute any option, grant or license from
SCEA to Publisher under any patent or other SCEA Intellectual Property Rights
now or hereinafter held by SCEA. The disclosure by SCEA to Publisher of SCEA's
Confidential Information hereunder shall not result in any obligation on the
part of SCEA to approve any materials of Publisher hereunder or otherwise, nor
shall such disclosure by SCEA give Publisher any right to, directly or
indirectly, develop, manufacture or sell any product derived from or which uses
any of SCEA's Confidential Information, other than as expressly set forth in
this Agreement.

for additional one-year terms thereafter, unless either party provides the other
with written notice of its election not to so extend on or before January 31 of
the applicable year. Notwithstanding the foregoing the term for the protection
of SCEA's Confidential Information and Publisher's Confidential



                                       20
<PAGE>   23

Information shall be as set forth in Sections 13.2.3 and 13.2.2 respectively.

      14.2  TERMINATION BY SCEA. SCEA shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement immediately, by providing written notice of such election to
Publisher, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

      (i)   If Publisher breaches (A) any of its obligations hereunder; or (B)
any other agreement entered into between SCEA or Affiliates of SCEA and
Publisher.

      (ii)  The liquidation or dissolution of Publisher or a statement of
intent by Publisher to no longer exercise any of the rights granted by SCEA to
Publisher hereunder.

      (iii) If during the term of this Agreement, a controlling interest in

or acquires a controlling interest in a third party which develops any
interactive device or product which is directly or indirectly competitive with

any proprietary technology, trade secrets or other SCEA Intellectual Property
Rights or SCEA's Confidential Information. As used in this Section 14.2,

      (iv)  If during the term of this Agreement, Publisher or an entity that
directly or indirectly has a controlling interest in Publisher enters into
a business relationship with a third party with whom Publisher materially
contributes to develop core components to an interactive device or product
which is directly or indirectly competitive with the System.

Publisher shall immediately notify SCEA in writing in the event that any of the
circumstances specified in this Section occur.

      14.3  PRODUCT-BY-PRODUCT TERMINATION BY SCEA. In addition to the events
of termination described in Section 14.2, above, SCEA, at its option, shall be
entitled to terminate, on a product-by-product basis, the licenses and related
rights herein granted to Publisher in the event that (a) Publisher fails to
notify SCEA promptly in writing of any material change to any materials
previously approved by SCEA in accordance with Section 5 or Section 6.1 hereto,
and such breach is not corrected or cured within thirty (30) days after
receipt of written notice of such breach; (b) Publisher uses a third party that
fails to comply with the requirements of Section 3 in connection with the
development of any Licensed Product; (c) any third party with whom Publisher
has contracted for the development of Executable Software breaches any of its
material obligations to SCEA pursuant to such third party's agreement with
SCEA with respect to such Licensed Product; or (d) Publisher cancels a Licensed
Product or fails to provide SCEA in accordance with the provisions of Section 5
above, with the final version of the Executable Software for any Licensed
Product within three (3) months of the scheduled release date according to the
Product Proposal (unless a modified final delivery date has been agreed to by
the parties), or fails to provide work in progress to SCEA in strict accordance
with the Review Process in Section 5.3.

     14.4 OPTIONS OF SCEA IN LIEU OF TERMINATION. As alternatives to terminating
this Agreement or a particular Licensed Product as set forth in Sections 14.2
and 14.3 above, SCEA may, at its option and upon written notice to Publisher,
take the following actions in lieu of terminating this Agreement. In the event
that SCEA elects either of these options, Publisher may terminate this Agreement
upon written notice to SCEA rather than allowing SCEA to exercise these options.
Election of these options by SCEA shall not constitute a waiver of or compromise
with respect to any of SCEA's rights under this Agreement and SCEA may elect to
terminate this Agreement with respect to any breach.

            14.4.1 SUSPENSION OF AGREEMENT. SCEA may suspend this Agreement,
entirely or with respect to a particular Licensed Product or program, for a set
period of time which shall be specified in writing to Publisher upon the
occurrence of any breach of this Agreement.

            14.4.2 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Whereas a minor breach of any of the
events set out below may not warrant termination of this Agreement, but will
cause SCEA damages in amounts difficult to quantify, SCEA may require Publisher
to pay liquidated damages of [*] per event as follows:

            (i)   Failure to submit Advertising Materials to SCEA for approval
(including any required resubmissions);

            (ii)  Broadcasting or publishing Advertising Materials without
receiving the final approval or consent of SCEA;

            (iii) Failure to make SCEA's requested revisions to Advertising
Materials; or

            (iv)  Failure to comply with the SourceBook 2, Manufacturing
Specifications or Guidelines which relates in any way to use of Licensed
Trademarks.

Liquidated damages shall be invoiced separately or on Publisher's next invoice

breach in lieu of seeking liquidated damages or in the event that liquidated
damages are unpaid.

itemized statement, certified to be accurate by an officer of Publisher,
specifying the number of unsold Units of the Licensed Products as to which such
termination applies, on a title-by-title basis, which remain in its inventory
and/or under its control at the time of expiration or the effective date of
termination. SCEA shall be entitled to conduct at its expense a physical
inspection of Publisher's inventory and work in process upon reasonable written
notice during normal business hours in order to ascertain or verify such
inventory and inventory statement.

     15.2  REVERSION OF RIGHTS.  Upon expiration or termination and subject to
Section 15.3 below, the licenses and related rights herein granted to Publisher
shall immediately revert to SCEA, and Publisher shall cease from any further
use of SCEA's Confidential Information, Licensed Trademarks and Sony Materials
and any SCEA Intellectual Property Rights therein, and, subject to the
provisions of Section 15.3 below, Publisher shall have no further right to
continue the development, publication, manufacture, marketing, sale or
distribution of any Units of the Licensed Products, or to continue to use any
Licensed Trademarks; provided, however, that for a period of one year after
termination, and subject to all the terms of Section 13, and provided this
Agreement is not terminated due to a breach or default of Publisher, Publisher
may retain such portions of Sony Materials and SCEA's Confidential Information
as SCEA in its sole discretion agrees are required to support end users of
Licensed Products but must return these materials at the end of such one year
period. Upon expiration or termination, the licenses and related rights herein
granted to SCEA by Publisher shall immediately revert to Publisher, and SCEA
shall cease from any further use of Product Information and any Publisher
Intellectual Property Rights therein; provided that SCEA may continue the

such period. Subsequent to the expiration of such ninety (90) day period, or in
the event this Agreement is terminated as a result of any breach or default of
Publisher, any and all Units of the Licensed Products remaining in Publisher's
inventory shall be destroyed by Publisher within five (5) business days of such
expiration or termination. Within five (5) business days after such destruction,
Publisher shall provide SCEA with an itemized statement, certified to be
accurate by an officer of Publisher, indicating the number of Units of the
Licensed Products which have been destroyed (on a title-by-title basis), the
location and date of such destruction and the disposition of the remains of such
destroyed materials.

     15.4  RETURN OF SONY MATERIALS AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Publisher shall immediately
deliver to SCEA, or if and to the extent requested by SCEA destroy, all Sony
Materials and any and all copies thereof, and Publisher and SCEA shall, upon the
request of the other party, immediately deliver to the other party, or if and to
the extent requested by such party destroy, all Confidential Information of the
other party, including any and all copies thereof, which the other party
previously furnished to it in furtherance of this Agreement. Within five (5)
working days after any such destruction, Publisher and/or SCEA, as appropriate,
shall provide the other party with an affidavit of destruction and an itemized
statement, each certified to be accurate by an officer of Publisher, indicating
the numbers of copies and/or units of the Sony Materials and/or Confidential
Information which have been destroyed, the location and date of such destruction
and the disposition of the remains of such destroyed materials. In the event
that Publisher fails to return the Sony Materials or Confidential Information
and SCEA must resort to legal means (including without limitation any use of
attorneys) to recover the Sony Materials or Confidential Information or the
value thereof, all costs, including SCEA's reasonable attorney's fees, shall be
borne by Publisher, and SCEA may, in addition to SCEA's other remedies, withhold
such amounts from any payment otherwise due from SCEA to Publisher under any
agreement between SCEA and Publisher.

     15.5  EXTENSION OF THIS AGREEMENT; TERMINATION WITHOUT PREJUDICE.  SCEA
shall be under no obligation to extend this Agreement notwithstanding any
actions taken by either of the parties prior to the expiration of this
Agreement. Upon the expiration of this Agreement, neither party shall be liable
to the other for any damages (whether direct, indirect, consequential or
incidental, and including, without limitation, any expenditures, loss of
profits or prospective profits) sustained or arising out of or alleged to have
been sustained or to have arisen out of such expiration. The expiration or
termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any rights or
remedies which one party may otherwise have against the


                                       22
<PAGE>   25
other party, and shall not excuse either party from any such expiration or
termination.

16.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

     16.1 NOTICES. All notices or other communications required or desired to be
sent to either of the parties shall be in writing and shall be sent by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or sent by recognized
international courier service, telegram or facsimile, with charges prepaid. The
address for all notices or other communications required to be sent to SCEA or
Publisher, respectively, shall be the mailing address stated in the preamble
hereof, or such other address as may be provided by written notice from one
party to the other on at least ten (10) days' prior written notice. Any such
notice shall be effective upon the date of actual or tendered delivery, as
confirmed by the sending party.

     16.2 AUDIT PROVISIONS. Publisher shall keep full, complete, and accurate
books of account and records covering all transactions relating to this
Agreement. Publisher shall preserve such books of account, records, documents,
and material for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement. Acceptance by SCEA of an accounting
statement, purchase order, or payment hereunder will not preclude SCEA from
challenging or questioning the accuracy thereof at a later time. In the event
that SCEA reasonably believes that the Wholesale Price provided by Publisher
with respect to any Licensed Product is not accurate, SCEA shall be entitled to
request additional documentation from Publisher to support the listed Wholesale
Price for such Licensed Product. In addition, during the Term and for a period
of two (2) years thereafter and upon the giving of reasonable written notice to
Publisher, representatives of SCEA shall have access to, and the right to make
copies and summaries of, such portions of all of Publisher's books and records
as pertain to the Licensed Products and any payments due or credits received
hereunder. In the event that such inspection reveals an under-reporting of any
payment due to SCEA, Publisher shall immediately pay SCEA such amount. In the
event that any audit conducted by SCEA reveals that Publisher has under-reported
any payment due to SCEA hereunder by [*] or more for that audit period, then in
addition to the payment of the appropriate amount due to SCEA, Publisher shall
reimburse SCEA for all reasonable audit costs for that audit and any and all
collection costs to recover the unpaid amount.

     16.3 FORM MAJEURE. Neither SCEA nor Publisher shall be liable for any loss
or damage or be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement if its failure to
perform or failure to cure any of its obligations under this Agreement results
from any event or circumstance beyond its reasonable control, including, without
limitation, any natural disaster, fire, flood, earthquake or other Act of God;
shortage of equipment, materials, supplies or transportation facilities; strike
or other industrial dispute; war or rebellion; shutdown or delay in power,
telephone or other essential service due to the failure of computer or
communications equipment or otherwise; provided, however, that the party
interfered with gives the other party written notice thereof promptly, and, in
any event, within fifteen (15) business days of discovery of any such Force
Majeure condition. If notice of the existence of any Force Majeure condition is
provided within such period, the time for performance or cure shall be extended
for a period equal to the duration of the Force Majeure event or circumstance
described in such notice, except that any such cause shall not excuse the
payment of any sums owed to SCEA prior to, during or after any such Force
Majeure condition. In the event that the Force Majeure condition continues for
more than sixty (60) days, SCEA may terminate this Agreement for cause by
providing written notice to Publisher to such effect.

     16.4 NO AGENCY, PARTNERSHIP OR JOINT VENTURE. The relationship between

conditions of this Agreement. Publisher shall provide a copy of any such
Subcontractor Agreement to SCEA prior to and following execution thereof.
Publisher shall not disclose to any subcontractor any of SCEA's Confidential
Information, including, without limitation, any Sony Materials, unless and

comply with all applicable regulations and orders of their respective countries
and other controlling jurisdictions and all conventions and treaties to which
their countries are a party or relating to or in any way affecting this
Agreement and the performance by the parties of this Agreement. Each party, at
its own expense, shall negotiate and obtain any approval, license or permit

take such steps to render this Agreement binding, including, without
limitation, the recording of this Agreement with any appropriate governmental
authorities (if required).

including without limitation equitable relief to which SCEA may be entitled, in
the event of a breach by Publisher or any of its employees or permitted
subcontractors of any such Sections of this Agreement, SCEA shall be entitled

bond is required under applicable law, on the posting of a bond in an amount
not to exceed [*], enjoining any breach or threatened breach of any or all
of such provisions. In addition, if Publisher fails to comply with any of its
obligations as set forth herein, SCEA shall be entitled to an accounting and
repayment of all forms of compensation, commissions, remuneration or benefits
which Publisher directly or indirectly realizes as a result of or arising in

related costs) which SCEA may sustain or incur as a result of any breach under
this Agreement.
