3. GRANT OF LICENSE; RESTRICTIONS




     3.1 Grant of Development License to LICENSEE. Subject to the terms and conditions of
the Agreement, NOA grants to LICENSEE, during the Term and throughout the Territory, a
nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited license to use the Intellectual Property Rights to develop
Add On Content (or have Add On Content developed on LICENSEE’s behalf) for Distribution and Sale
solely by NOA.



     3.2 Grant of License to NOA. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement,
LICENSEE grants to NOA, during the Term and throughout the Territory, a license in and to the Add
On Content, and all of LICENSEE’s Proprietary Rights associated therewith, sufficient to permit
NOA, its subsidiaries or third parties working on NOA’s behalf, to advertise, market, Distribute
and Sell the Add On Content. NOA shall not be in breach of this license grant if it advertises,
markets, Distributes or Sells to any customer representing him or herself to be within the
Territory, even if such customer is not in fact within the Territory.



     3.3 Restrictions and Prohibitions. NOA will not (i) modify, Distribute or Sell Add On
Content or all or any part of the Licensee Intellectual Property Rights, except as permitted by
this Agreement; or (ii) reverse engineer or assist in the reverse engineering of all or any part of
the Add On Content. LICENSEE will not (I) reverse engineer or assist in the reverse engineering of
all or any part of the Intellectual Property Rights; or (II) use the Intellectual Property Rights
for any purpose other than that set forth in the Agreement and in Subsection 3.1 of this Addendum,
unless expressly permitted pursuant to in accordance with a separate written authorization by NOA.



4. DEVELOPMENT; APPROVALS; UPGRADES; DISTRIBUTION; SUPPORT




     4.1 Responsibility for Add On Content. LICENSEE is solely responsible for
development, testing, quality, content, operation and support of Add On Content, and must comply
with any Guidelines made available to LICENSEE by NOA in connection therewith. Failure to comply
with any Guidelines shall be a breach of this Agreement. LICENSEE shall review all Add On Content
prior to submission to NOA, and shall ensure that all Add On Content submitted to NOA by LICENSEE
for Distribution: (i) is free of bugs or other operational defects or errors that have a material
adverse effect on the use and/or



PAGE 2 OF 7









 




enjoyment of the applicable Game, (ii) does not contain any open source software, and (iii) does
not include material that would change the existing ESRB rating or descriptors for the Game. To
the extent an Instruction Manual is required by the Guidelines, LICENSEE must include an
Instruction Manual with its submission.




     4.2 Security Technology, System Updates and Notifications. In its sole discretion,
and without Notice to LICENSEE, NOA or Nintendo may add Security Technology, System Updates, and
trademark, copyright or customer notifications to Add On Content or Instruction Manuals; provided,
however, any such addition by NOA will not serve to release LICENSEE from any obligation under the
Agreement or under applicable laws, rules or regulations. NOA may in addition require LICENSEE at
LICENSEE’s sole expense to update its Add On Content from time to time to (i) comply with any new
Wii Network Services or Wii console requirements or Guidelines, or (ii) fix bugs or other
operational defects or errors in the Add On Content.



     4.3 Submission of Completed Add On Content. When development and testing of proposed
Add On Content has been completed, LICENSEE will submit such proposed Add On Content to NOA for
approval, and shall provide along with each submission a completed Add On Content Final Title Sheet
for such proposed Add On Content, and such additional information or documentation as deemed
necessary by NOA.



     4.4 No Obligation to Market, Distribute or Sell. LICENSEE acknowledges that its
development of proposed Add On Content is at its sole risk. NOA is under no obligation to
advertise, market, Distribute or Sell specific Add On Content and thereby incur any Royalty or
other financial obligation to LICENSEE. If NOA elects to Distribute any Add On Content, the
commencement date of such Distribution, the length of time, and the countries within the Territory
in which it is Distributed, shall be in NOA’s sole discretion, provided, however, LICENSEE may
terminate NOA’s right to Distribute or Sell specific Add On Content, upon thirty day’s prior Notice
to NOA. NOA may at any time and for any reason (i) remove Add On Content from the Wii Network
Services for all or a portion of the Territory without liability to LICENSEE, other than payment of
any Royalties that may be due under Section 5 of this Addendum for Sales that occurred prior to
such removal, and (ii) restore Add On Content to the Wii Network Services for all or a portion of
the Territory during the Term (and in such case shall continue to pay to LICENSEE any Royalties due
under Section 5 of this Addendum).



     4.5 Technical Support. LICENSEE shall provide all necessary technical support to NOA
relating to the Add On Content in order to enable NOA to market, Distribute and Sell Add On
Content.



     4.6 Customer Support. LICENSEE is solely responsible for all customer support for the
Add On Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSEE acknowledges that NOA shall have the right
to post Instruction Manuals and other information relating to Add On Content on NOA websites for
customer support purposes.



5. PRICE; ROYALTIES




     5.1 Price. NOA shall have sole discretion to (i) determine the number of Wii Points a
customer must redeem to download specific Add On Content (or the purchase price, if Wii Points are
not used); (ii) change the number of Wii Points or the purchase price from time to time; and (iii)
require a different number of Wii Points or purchase price in order to redeem specific Add On
Content in different countries within the Territory. LICENSEE may suggest to NOA the number of Wii
Points (or the purchase price, if Wii Points are not used) at which to offer Add On Content,
although NOA has no obligation to accept such suggestion. If LICENSEE has suggested a price of 0
Wii Points, and NOA does set a price of 0 Wii Points, LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that it will
reimburse NOA at NOA’s request for any costs or taxes associated with no cost access to such Add On
Content.



     5.2 Royalty. Subject to this Section 5, and provided the applicable Performance
Threshold has been met for such Add On Content, NOA will pay LICENSEE a Royalty on each Sale as
follows:



PAGE 3 OF 7









 





     5.2.1 At the end of each calendar quarter, NOA will determine the total number of Sales of
each Add On Content.



     5.2.2 NOA will then determine the total number of Wii Points redeemed by customers with
respect to such Sales (or the total purchase price for such Sales, if Wii Points are not used).



     5.2.3 NOA will then calculate for each Sale the total “imputed value” of such Wii Points,
using the following fixed conversion rate: 1 point = 0.01 U.S. Dollars (or the actual purchase
price, if Wii Points are not used).



     5.2.4 The “imputed value” or actual purchase price will then be reduced by any deductions for
Royalty offsets pursuant to Subsection 5.6 of this Addendum (“Quarterly Amount”).



     5.2.5 NOA will pay LICENSEE a Royalty corresponding to sixty-five percent (0.65) of the
Quarterly Amount, less any deductions for any required withholding taxes.



     5.3 Performance Thresholds. In order to help offset NOA’s expenses incurred for
quality assurance, lot check, Distribution, and Sales, NOA’s payments to LICENSEE for each specific
Add On Content Distributed by NOA shall not begin unless and until LICENSEE meets the applicable
Performance Threshold for that specific Add On Content.



     5.3.2 Applicable Performance Thresholds are set forth at www.warioworld.com or such other
website as NOA may in the future designate. NOA may from time to time in its sole discretion
modify Performance Thresholds or add new Performance Thresholds, provided that NOA may not increase
any Performance Threshold for specific Add On Content after the date such Add On Content is
initially Distributed.



     5.3.3 Once specific Add On Content has reached the applicable Performance Threshold, Royalties
will be due for all Sales of such Add On Content (including all Sales made prior to reaching the
applicable Performance Threshold), and will be paid as provided in Subsection 5.4 of this Addendum,
without payment of interest. In the event the Agreement or NOA’s right to distribute specific Add
On Content terminates before the applicable Performance Threshold has been met for such Add On
Content, no payment for such Sales will be owed to LICENSEE.



     5.4 Payments. All Royalty payments from NOA to LICENSEE shall be made by check or by
electronic transfer, or such other means as may be required by NOA from time to time, to the
account listed in the Add On Content Final Title Sheet for the initial Add On Content Distributed
by NOA, or such other account as LICENSEE may thereafter designate in a Notice to NOA. LICENSEE
may not offset against any amount owed NOA any amounts payable pursuant to this Addendum.



     5.5 Withholding Taxes. LICENSEE acknowledges that Royalty payments made to non-U.S.
content providers may be subject to government-imposed withholding or other taxes. NOA will
withhold and pay such taxes on Royalty payments made by NOA under this Agreement unless LICENSEE
completes and submits to NOA all tax documents required to eliminate or reduce such taxes in
accordance with applicable tax treaties. LICENSEE acknowledges that, in order to eliminate or
reduce applicable taxes, such documents must be received by NOA (Attn. Nintendo of America Inc. Tax
Department, 4820 — 150th Ave. NE, Redmond, WA 98052) prior to NOA making a Royalty
payment hereunder, and if not received by the time a Royalty payment is otherwise due, such Royalty
payment will be subject to withholding of such taxes. In the event taxes are withheld, NOA will
provide LICENSEE copies of relevant tax documents evidencing withholding of such taxes.



     5.6 Royalty Offsets.



     5.6.1 Refunds. NOA shall have the right in its sole discretion to refund Wii Points
to customers in respect of any Sale in the event of a customer complaint or unauthorized
transaction relating to such



PAGE 4 OF 7









 




Sale, and to offset the corresponding value of such refund amounts against any Royalties that would
otherwise be due hereunder.




     5.6.2 Other. NOA may offset against Royalties any amounts which LICENSEE is required
to pay NOA under the Agreement.



     5.7 Claims. Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of NOA, in the event
any Claim is made that may be subject to LICENSEE’s indemnification obligations under Section 10 of
the Agreement, NOA may in its sole discretion withhold payment to LICENSEE until such time as the
Claim has been resolved, and any amounts due NOA have been fully paid or any Royalty offsets
relating to such amounts have been fully determined.



     5.8 Royalty Reports. NOA will furnish LICENSEE with quarterly Royalty reports for any
calendar quarter in which Sales took place, and, provided the applicable Performance Threshold has
been met, will pay any Royalties due within thirty (30) days of the close of such calendar quarter,
provided, however, if any payment due is less than $100 USD, NOA may in its sole discretion delay
making such payment until the earlier of the calendar quarter immediately following: (i) that
calendar quarter in which Royalties equal that amount or greater, or (ii) the expiration of the
Term.



6. MARKETING, ADVERTISING, AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT




     6.1 Marketing.



     6.1.1 By NOA. NOA may in its sole discretion and at its expense (i) advertise or list
Add On Content on websites operated by or on behalf of NOA, on the Wii Network Services, and in
other online, media or print marketing channels, and (ii) include trailers, screen shots, artwork,
sound effects, and other information relating to the Add On Content in NOA periodicals (issued by
NOA or through its licensees), Wii channels, and other advertising, promotional or marketing
materials that promote Add On Content, the Wii Network Services, or other NOA products, services or
programs. NOA shall submit to LICENSEE samples of proposed marketing materials for LICENSEE’s
review and approval. LICENSEE shall within five (5) business days of receipt approve or disapprove
of such samples. NOA shall not use any marketing materials without obtaining LICENSEE’s approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. NOA may from time to time reasonably request,
and LICENSEE shall provide to NOA at LICENSEE’s expense, reference materials such as character
print samples and other materials in connection with these advertising and promotional activities.



     6.1.2 By LICENSEE. Subject to Subsection 7.1 of the Agreement, LICENSEE may in its
sole discretion and at its expense advertise and market Add On Content.



     6.2 Royalty-Free Copies. NOA shall be provided 50 complimentary downloads of Add On
Content, which may be used by its employees or media for evaluation purposes, without any payment
of Royalties or other amounts to LICENSEE.
