specifically provided herein), to publish Licensed Products using Sony Materials, which right shall be limited to the following rights and other rights 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 Products manufactured; (iii) to market, distribute and sell such Licensed Products and to authorize

 3. Development of Licensed Products. 
  
 3.1 Right to Develop. This LPA grants Publisher the right to
develop Licensed Products. It also gives Publisher the right to purchase and/or license Development 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	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 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. 
  
 4.3 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’s 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 

  

	 	 	4	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 
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 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 

  

	 	 	5	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 
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 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 

  

	 	 	6	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 
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 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 to 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 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 all 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. 
  

	 	 	7	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 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 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. 
  

	 	 	8	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 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
its 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, five hundred and four (504) 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 

  

	 	 	9	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 
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 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 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 its licensors (other than SCEA and/or its affiliates) have any anticipation of receiving any 

  

	 	 	10	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 
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, for 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 Discs 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
Discs 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
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 contest or sweepstakes; 
  
 (ii) Publisher warrants that each contest, sweepstakes, and promotion, comply with local, state and federal laws or regulations; 
  

(iii) Publisher represents and warrants that it has obtained the consent of all holders of intellectual property rights required to be obtained in
connection with each contest or sweepstakes including, but not limited to, the consent of any holder of copyrights or trademarks relating to any Advertising Materials publicizing the contest or sweepstakes, or the prizes being awarded to winners of
the contest or sweepstakes; and 
  
 (iv) Publisher shall make
available to SCEA all contest and sweepstakes material prior to publication in accordance with the approval process set forth in Section 5.5 or 5.6. 
  
 Approval by SCEA of contest or sweepstakes materials for use in the Printed Materials or Advertising Materials (or any use of the System or Licensed Products as prizes in
such contest or sweepstakes) shall not constitute an endorsement by SCEA of such contest or sweepstakes, nor shall such acceptance be construed as SCEA having reviewed and approved such materials for compliance with any federal or state law,
statute, regulations, order or the like, which shall be Publisher’s sole responsibility. 
  
 7.6 PlayStation Website. All Licensed Publishers shall be required to provide Product Information for a web page for each of its Licensed Products for display on the PlayStation promotional website, or
other website or 

  

	 	 	11	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 
websites as may be operated by SCEA from time to time in connection with the promotion of the PlayStation brand. Specifications for Product Information for
such web pages shall be as provided in the SourceBook 2. Publisher shall provide SCEA with such Product Information for each Licensed Product upon submission of Printed Materials to SCEA for approval in accordance with Section 5.5.2 hereto.
Publisher shall also provide updates to such web page in a timely manner as required by SCEA in updates to the SourceBook 2. 
  
 7.7 Distribution. 
  
 7.7.1 Distribution Channels. Publisher may use such distribution channels as Publisher deems appropriate, including the use of third party
distributors, resellers, dealers and sales representatives. In the event that Publisher elects to have one of its Licensed Products distributed and sold by another Licensed Publisher, Publisher must provide SCEA with advance written notice of such
election, the name of the Licensed Publisher and any additional information requested by SCEA regarding the nature of the distribution services provided by such Licensed Publisher prior to manufacture of such Licensed Product. 
  
 7.7.2 Limitations on Distribution. Notwithstanding any other
provisions in this Agreement, Publisher shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit orders from or sell any Units of the Licensed Products to any person or entity outside of the Licensed Territory. In addition, Publisher shall not directly or
indirectly solicit orders for or sell any Units of the Licensed Products in any situation where Publisher knows or reasonably should know that such Licensed Products may be exported or resold outside of the Licensed Territory. 
  
 8. Royalties. 
  
 8.1 Applicable Royalties on Licensed Products. 
  
 8.1.1 Initial Orders. Publisher shall pay SCEA, either directly or through its designee, a per title royalty
in United States dollars for each Unit of the Licensed Products manufactured based on the initial Wholesale Price of the Licensed Product, as follows: 
  

	 	 	 Wholesale Price

	 	 Per Title Royalty

	 [*]
	 	$[*] to $[*]	 	$[*]
	 [*]
	 	$[*] to $[*]	 	$[*]
	 [*]
	 	$[*] to $[*]	 	$[*]
	 [*]
	 	$[*] to $[*]	 	$[*]
	 [*]
	 	$[*] +	 	  [*] % of WSP + $[*]

  
 In the absence of satisfactory
evidence to support the WSP, the royalty rate that shall apply will be [*] per Unit. 
  
 8.1.2 Reorders and Other Programs. Royalties on additional orders to manufacture a specific Licensed Product shall be the royalty determined by the initial Wholesale Price as reported by Publisher
for that Licensed Product regardless of the wholesale price of the Licensed Product at the time of reorder, except in the event that the Wholesale Price increases for such Licensed Product, in which case the royalty shall be adjusted upwards to
reflect the higher Wholesale Price. Licensed Products qualifying for SCEA’s “Greatest Hits” programs or other programs offered by SCEA shall be subject to the royalties applicable for such programs. Publisher acknowledges that as of
the date of execution of this Agreement no “Greatest Hits” program exists for the PlayStation 2 Third Party licensing program. 
  
 8.2 Third Party Demo Disc Program Royalties: Publisher shall pay SCEA a per Unit royalty in United States dollars of [*] for each
Third Party Demo Disc Unit manufactured. The quantity of Units ordered shall comply with the terms of such SCEA Established Third Party Demo Disc Program. 
  
 8.3 Payment. Payment of royalties under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall be made to SCEA through its Designated Manufacturing Facility concurrent
with the placement of an order to manufacture Licensed Product and payment of manufacturing costs in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 6.2.3, unless otherwise agreed in writing with SCEA. At the time of placing an order
to manufacture a Licensed Product, Publisher shall submit to SCEA an accurate accounting statement setting out the number of units of Licensed Product to be manufactured, projected initial wholesale price, applicable royalty, and total amount due
SCEA. In addition, Publisher shall submit to SCEA prior to placing the initial order for each Licensed Product a separate certification, in the form provided by SCEA in the SourceBook 2, signed by officers of Publisher that certifies that the
Wholesale Price provided to SCEA is accurate and attaching such documentation supporting the WSP as requested by SCEA. Payment shall be made prior to manufacture unless SCEA has agreed to extend credit terms to Publisher in writing pursuant to
Section 6.2.3.3. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring SCEA to extend credit 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 may credit or otherwise grant to any third party customer of any Units of the 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 

  

	[*]	 	Confidential information omitted and filed separately with the Commission. 

  

	 	 	12	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 
hereunder, Publisher shall be solely responsible for and bear any cost relating to any withholding taxes or other such assessments which may be imposed by
any governmental authority with respect to the royalties paid to SCEA hereunder; provided, however, that SCEA shall not manufacture Licensed Products outside of the United States without the prior consent of Publisher. Publisher shall provide SCEA
with official tax receipts or other such documentary evidence issued by the applicable tax authorities sufficient to substantiate that any such taxes or assessments have in fact been paid. 
  
 8.4 Rebate Programs. Publisher shall be eligible to participate
in one of three rebate programs offered by SCEA: the Standard Rebate program, the Level 1 Rebate program, or the Level 2 Rebate program. If Publisher qualifies for such rebates as set forth herein, rebates shall be credited to Publisher’s
account as provided below:

 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.

Publisher to prevent the recurrence of any unauthorized duplication, access, use, possession or knowledge of Publisher’s Confidential Information. 
  
 13.3 Confidentiality of Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be treated as SCEA’s Confidential Information and
Publisher’s Confidential Information; provided that each party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement: 
  
 (i) to legal counsel; 
  

	 	 	19	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 (ii) in confidence, to accountants, banks and financing sources and their advisors; 
  
 (iii) in confidence, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or
rights arising under or relating to this Agreement; and 
  
 (iv)
if required, in the opinion of counsel, to file publicly or otherwise disclose the terms of this Agreement under applicable federal and/or state securities or other laws, the disclosing party shall be required to promptly notify the other party such
that the other party has a reasonable opportunity to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure, and the disclosing party shall request, and shall use its best efforts to obtain, confidential treatment for such sections of this Agreement
as the other party may designate. 
  
 14. Term and Termination. 

 
 14.1 Effective Date; Term. This Agreement shall not be
binding on the parties until it has been signed by each party, in which event it shall be effective from the Effective Date until March 31, 2003, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 14.2. The term shall be automatically extended 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 Information shall be as set forth in Sections 13.1.2 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 Publisher or in an entity which directly or indirectly has a controlling interest in Publisher is transferred to a party that (A) is in breach of any agreement with SCEA or an Affiliate of SCEA; (B) directly or
indirectly holds or acquires a controlling interest in a third party which develops any interactive device or product which is directly or indirectly competitive with the System; or (C) is in litigation with SCEA or Affiliates of SCEA concerning any
proprietary technology, trade secrets or other SCEA Intellectual Property Rights or SCEA’s Confidential Information. As used in this Section 14.2, “controlling interest” means, with respect to any form of entity, sufficient power to
control the decisions of such entity. 
  
 (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 events or 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. 
  

	 	 	20	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 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 Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) 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 for Licensed Products. SCEA reserves the right to terminate this Agreement for breach in lieu of seeking liquidated damages or in the event that liquidated damages are unpaid. 
  
 14.5 No Refunds. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with any of the provisions of
Sections 14.2 through 14.4 above, no portion of any payments of any kind whatsoever previously provided to SCEA hereunder shall be owed or be repayable to Publisher. 
  
 15. Effect of Expiration or Termination. 
  
 15.1 Inventory Statement. Within thirty (30) days of the date of expiration or the effective date of termination with respect to any or all
Licensed Products or this Agreement, Publisher shall provide SCEA with an 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 manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of any SCEA Demo Discs containing Publisher’s Product Information which Publisher had approved prior to termination. 
  
 15.3 Disposal of Unsold Units. Provided that this Agreement is not terminated due to a breach or default of
Publisher, Publisher may, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, sell off existing inventories of Licensed Products, on a non-exclusive basis, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement,
and provided such inventories have not been manufactured solely or principally for sale during 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 number 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 

  

	 	 	21	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 
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 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 five percent (5%) 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 Force 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 SCEA and Publisher, respectively, is
that of licensor and licensee. Both parties are independent contractors and are not the legal representative, agent, joint venturer, partner or employee of the other party for any purpose whatsoever. Neither party has any right or authority to
assume or create any obligations of any kind or to make any representation or warranty on behalf of the other party, whether express or implied, or to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever. 
  
 16.5 Assignment. SCEA has entered into this Agreement based
upon the particular reputation, capabilities and experience of Publisher and its officers, directors and employees. Accordingly, Publisher may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder, nor delegate or otherwise transfer any of its
obligations hereunder, to any third party unless the prior written consent of SCEA shall first be obtained. This Agreement shall not be assigned in contravention of Section 14.2 (iii). 

  

	 	 	22	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 
Any attempted or purported assignment, delegation or other such transfer, directly or indirectly, without the required consent of SCEA shall be void. Subject
to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (other than under the conditions set forth in Section 14.2 (iii). SCEA shall have the right to assign any and all of its
rights and obligations hereunder to any Sony affiliate(s). 
  
 16.6 Subcontractors. Publisher shall not sell, assign, delegate, subcontract, sublicense or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any portion of the licenses herein granted without the prior written approval of SCEA, provided,
however, that Publisher may retain those subcontractors who provide services which do not require access to Sony Materials or SCEA’s Confidential Information without such prior approval. Publisher may retain those subcontractor(s) to assist
with the development, publication and marketing of Licensed Products (or portions thereof) which have signed (i) an LPA or LDA with SCEA (the “PlayStation 2 Agreement”) in full force and effect throughout the term of such development and
marketing; or (ii) an SCEA-approved subcontractor agreement (“Subcontractor Agreement”); and SCEA has approved such subcontractor in writing, which approval shall be in SCEA’s sole discretion. Such Subcontractor Agreement shall
provide that SCEA is a third-party beneficiary of such Subcontractor Agreement and has the full right to bring any actions against such subcontractors to comply in all respects with the terms and 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
until either a PlayStation 2 Agreement or a Subcontractor Agreement has been executed and approved by SCEA. Notwithstanding any consent which may be granted by SCEA for Publisher to employ any such permitted subcontractor(s), or any such separate
agreement(s) that may be entered into by Publisher with any such permitted subcontractor, Publisher shall remain fully liable for its compliance with all of the provisions of this Agreement and for the compliance of any and all permitted
subcontractors with the provisions of any agreements entered into by such subcontractors in accordance with this Section. Publisher shall use its best efforts to cause its subcontractors retained in furtherance of this Agreement to comply in all
respects with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and hereby unconditionally guarantees all obligations of its subcontractors. SCEA may subcontract any of its rights or obligations hereunder. 
  
 16.7 Compliance with Applicable Laws. The parties shall at all
times 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 required in the performance of its obligations, and shall declare, record or take such steps to render this
Agreement binding, including, without limitation, the recording of this Agreement with any appropriate governmental authorities (if required). 
  
 16.8 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
California, excluding that body of law related to choice of laws, and of the United States of America. Any action or proceeding brought to enforce the terms of this Agreement or to adjudicate any dispute arising hereunder shall be brought in the
Superior Court of the County of San Mateo, State of California or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Each of the parties hereby submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts for purposes
of any such action and agrees that any service of process may be effected by delivery of the summons in the manner provided in the delivery of notices set forth in Section 16.1 above. In addition, each party hereby waives the right to a jury trial
in any action or proceeding related to this Agreement. 
  
 16.9
Legal Costs and Expenses. In the event it is necessary for either party to retain the services of an attorney or attorneys to enforce the terms of this Agreement or to file or defend any action arising out of this Agreement, then the
prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity to recover from the other party its reasonable fees for attorneys and expert witnesses, plus such court costs and
expenses as may be fixed by any court of competent jurisdiction. The term “prevailing party” for the purposes of this Section shall include a defendant who has by motion, judgment, verdict or dismissal by the court, successfully defended
against any claim that has been asserted against it. 
  
 16.10
Remedies. Unless expressly set forth to the contrary, either party’s election of any remedies provided for in this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other remedies, and all such remedies shall be deemed to be cumulative. Any
breach of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 11 and 13 of this Agreement would cause significant and irreparable harm to SCEA, the extent of which would be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies 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 to the immediate issuance without bond of ex
parte injunctive relief or, if a bond is required under applicable law, on the posting of a bond in an amount not to exceed $50,000, 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 connection 

  

	 	 	23	 	CONFIDENTIAL

 
with any such failure to comply. Such remedy shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any injunctive relief or other remedies to which SCEA may be
entitled under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity. In addition, Publisher shall indemnify SCEA for all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all reasonable related costs) which
SCEA may sustain or incur as a result of any breach under this Agreement. 
  
 16.11 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision (or
portion thereof) shall be enforced to the extent possible consistent with the stated intention of the parties, or, if incapable of such enforcement, shall be deemed to be deleted from this Agreement, while the remainder of this Agreement shall
continue in full force and remain in effect according to its stated terms and conditions. 
  
 16.12 Sections Surviving Expiration or Termination. The following sections shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason: 4, 5.8, 6.2, 6.4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14.5,
15, and 16. 
  
 16.13 Waiver. No failure or delay by
either party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party
against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. Any waiver by either party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall such waiver operate or be construed as a waiver
of such provision respecting any future event or circumstance. 
  
 16.14 Modification and Amendment. No modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both of the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SCEA reserves the right
to modify the SourceBook 2 from time to time upon reasonable notice to Publisher. 
  
 16.15 Headings. The section headings used in this Agreement are intended primarily for reference and shall not by themselves determine the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any portion
hereof. 
  
 16.16 Integration. This Agreement,
together with the SourceBook 2, constitutes the entire agreement between SCEA and Publisher and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, understandings and communications between SCEA and Publisher, whether oral or written,
with respect to the subject matter hereof including any PlayStation 2 Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement and Materials Loan Agreement between SCEA and Publisher. 
  
 16.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
and together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 16.18 Construction. This Agreement shall be fairly interpreted in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or against either of the parties. 
  
  
 IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first written above.
