3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

     3.1. Board

     The Board shall have such powers and authorities related to the
administration of the Plan as are consistent with the Company’s certificate of
incorporation and by-laws and applicable law. The Board shall have full power
and authority to take all actions and to make all determinations required or
provided for under the Plan, any Option Agreement, and shall have full power
and authority to take all such other actions and make all such other
determinations not inconsistent with the specific terms and provisions of the
Plan that the Board deems to be necessary or appropriate to the administration
of the Plan or any Option Agreement. All such actions and determinations shall
be by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Board present at
a meeting or by unanimous consent of the Board executed in writing in
accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws and
applicable law. The interpretation and construction by the Board of any
provision of the Plan or any Option Agreement shall be final and conclusive.

     3.2. Committee.

     The Board from time to time may delegate to the Committee such powers and
authorities related to the administration and implementation of the Plan, as
set forth in Section 3.1 above and other applicable provisions, as the Board
shall determine, consistent with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws
of the Company and applicable law. In the event that the Plan or any Option
Agreement entered into hereunder provides for any action to be taken by or
determination to be made by the Board, such action may be taken or such
determination may be made by the Committee if the power and authority to do so
has been delegated to the Committee by the Board as provided for in this
Section. Unless otherwise expressly determined by the Board, any such action
or determination by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. To
the extent permitted by law, the Committee may delegate its authority under the
Plan to a member of the Board.

     3.3. Terms of Options.

     Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board shall
have full and final authority to:

     (i)  designate Optionees,

     (ii)  determine the type or types of Options to be granted to an Optionee,

     (iii)  determine the number of shares of Stock to be subject to an Option,

     (iv)  establish the terms and conditions of each Option (including, but not
limited to, the exercise price of any Option and the nature and duration of any
restriction or condition (or provision for lapse thereof) relating to the
vesting, exercise, transfer, or forfeiture of an Option or the shares of Stock
subject thereto),

     (v)  prescribe the form of each Option Agreement evidencing an Option, and

-4-

 

     (vi)  amend, modify, or supplement the terms of any outstanding Option.
Such authority specifically includes the authority, in order to effectuate the
purposes of the Plan but without amending the Plan, to modify Options to
eligible individuals who are foreign nationals or are individuals who are
employed outside the United States to recognize differences in local law, tax
policy, or custom.

     As a condition to any subsequent Option, the Board shall have the right,
at its discretion, to require Optionees to return to the Company Options
previously granted under the Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, any such new Option shall be upon such terms and conditions as are
specified by the Board at the time the new Option is granted. The Board shall
have the right, in its discretion, to grant Options in substitution or exchange
for any other award under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any
business entity to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate. The Company may
retain the right in an Option Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the gain
realized by an Optionee on account of actions taken by the Optionee in
violation or breach of or in conflict with any non-competition agreement, any
agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees or clients of the Company or
any Affiliate thereof or any confidentiality obligation with respect to the
Company or any Affiliate thereof or otherwise in competition with the Company
or any Affiliate thereof, to the extent specified in such Option Agreement
applicable to the Optionee. Furthermore, the Company may annul an Option if
the Optionee is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate thereof and is
terminated for Cause as defined in the applicable Option Agreement or the Plan,
as applicable. The grant of any Option shall be contingent upon the Optionee
executing the appropriate Option Agreement.

     3.4. No Liability.

     No member of the Board or of the Committee shall be liable for any action
or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option
Agreement.

4. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

     Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13 hereof, the number of
shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be 1,000,000
shares. Stock issued or to be issued under the Plan shall be authorized but
unissued shares. If any shares covered by an Option are not purchased or are
forfeited, or if an Option otherwise terminates without delivery of any Stock
subject thereto, then the number of shares of Stock counted against the
aggregate number of shares available under the Plan with respect to such
Options shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, again be
available for making Options under the Plan. If the Option Price of any Option
granted under the Plan, or if pursuant to Section 14.4 the withholding
obligation of any Optionee with respect to an Option, is satisfied by tendering
shares of Stock to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation) or
by withholding shares of Stock, only the number of shares of Stock issued net
of the shares of Stock tendered or withheld shall be deemed delivered for
purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for
delivery under the Plan.

-5-

 

5. EFFECTIVE DATE, DURATION AND AMENDMENTS

     5.1. Effective Date.

     The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date.

     5.2. Term.

     The Plan shall terminate automatically ten (10) years after its adoption
by the Board and may be terminated on any earlier date as provided in Section
5.3.

     5.3. Amendment and Termination of the Plan

     The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend, or
terminate the Plan as to any shares of Stock as to which Options have not been
granted. An amendment shall be contingent on approval of the Company’s
stockholders to the extent stated by the Board or required by applicable law.
No Options shall be granted after termination of the Plan. No amendment,
suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the
Optionee, impair rights or obligations under any Option theretofore awarded
under the Plan.

6. OPTION ELIGIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS

     6.1. Company or Subsidiary Employees; Service Providers; Other
Persons

     Subject to this Section 6, Options may be granted under the Plan to: (i)
any employee of, or other Service Provider to, the Company or of any Affiliate,
including any such employee or other Service Provider who is an officer or
director of the Company, or of any Affiliate, as the Board shall determine and
designate from time to time, (ii) any Outside Director, and (iii) any other
individual whose participation in the Plan is determined to be in the best
interests of the Company by the Board.

     6.2. Successive Options.

     An eligible person may receive more than one Option, subject to such
restrictions as are provided herein.

     6.3. Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Options

     Options granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Board, be
granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or
exchange for, any other Option or any award granted under another plan of the
Company, any Affiliate, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or
an Affiliate, or any other right of an Optionee to receive payment from the
Company or any Affiliate. Such additional, tandem, and substitute or exchange
Options may be granted at any time. If an Option is granted in substitution or
exchange for another Option, the Board shall require the surrender of such
other Option in consideration for the grant of the new Option.

-6-

 

7. OPTION AGREEMENT

     Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Option
Agreement, in such form or forms as the Board shall from time to time
determine. Option Agreements granted from time to time or at the same time
need not contain similar provisions but shall be consistent with the terms of
the Plan.

8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

     8.1. Option Price

     The Option Price of each Option shall be fixed by the Board and stated in
the Option Agreement evidencing such Option. In no case shall the Option Price
of any Option be less than the par value of a share of Stock.

     8.2. Vesting.

     Subject to Sections 8.3 and 13.3 hereof, each Option granted under the
Plan shall become exercisable at such times and under such conditions as shall
be determined by the Board and stated in the Option Agreement. For purposes of
this Section 8.2, fractional numbers of shares of Stock subject to an Option
shall be rounded down to the next nearest whole number. The Board may provide,
for example, in the Option Agreement for (i) accelerated exercisability of the
Option in the event the Optionee’s Service terminates on account of death,
Disability or another event, (ii) expiration of the Option prior to its term in
the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service, (iii) immediate
forfeiture of the Option in the event the Optionee’s Service is terminated for
Cause or (iv) unvested Options to be exercised subject to the Company’s right
of repurchase with respect to unvested shares of Stock.

     8.3. Term.

     Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights to
purchase shares of Stock thereunder shall cease, upon the expiration of ten
years from the date such Option is granted, or under such circumstances and on
such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the
Board and stated in the Option Agreement relating to such Option (the
“Termination Date”).

     8.4. Termination of Service.

     Each Option Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee
shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the
Optionee’s Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion
of the Board, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the
Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of
Service.

-7-

 

     8.5. Limitations on Exercise of Option.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event may any
Option be exercised, in whole or in part after ten years following the Grant
Date or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 13 hereof which
results in termination of the Option.

     8.6. Method of Exercise.

     An Option that is exercisable may be exercised by the Optionee’s delivery
to the Company of written notice of exercise on any business day, at the
Company’s principal office, on the form specified by the Company. Such notice
shall specify the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is
being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price
of the shares for which the Option is being exercised plus the amount (if any)
of federal and/or other taxes which the Company may, in its judgment, be
required to withhold with respect to the exercise of the Option. The minimum
number of shares of Stock with respect to which an Option may be exercised, in
whole or in part, at any time shall be the lesser of (i) 100 shares or such
lesser number set forth in the applicable Option Agreement and (ii) the maximum
number of shares available for purchase under the Option at the time of
exercise.

     8.7. Rights of Holders of Options

     Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Option Agreement, an individual
holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a stockholder
(for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions
attributable to the subject shares of Stock or to direct the voting of the
subject shares of Stock ) until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully
paid and issued to him. Except as provided in Section 13 hereof, no adjustment
shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record
date is prior to the date of such issuance.

     8.8. Delivery of Stock Certificates.

     Promptly after the exercise of an Option by an Optionee and the payment in
full of the Option Price, such Optionee shall be entitled to the issuance of a
stock certificate or certificates evidencing his or her ownership of the shares
of Stock subject to the Option.

     8.9. Reload Options.

     At the discretion of the Board and subject to such restrictions, terms and
conditions as the Board may establish, Options granted under the Plan may
include a “reload” feature pursuant to which an Optionee exercising an Option
by the delivery of a number of shares of Stock in accordance with Section 8.6
hereof would automatically be granted an additional Option (with an Option
Price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the additional
Option is granted and with such other terms as the Board may provide) to
purchase that number of shares of Stock equal to the number delivered to
exercise the original Option with an Option term equal to the remainder of the
original Option term unless the Board otherwise determines in the Option
Agreement for the original grant.

-8-

 

9. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS

     9.1. Transferability of Options

     Except as provided in Section 9.2, during the lifetime of an Optionee,
only the Optionee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the
Optionee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise an Option. Except as
provided in Section 9.2, no Option shall be assignable or transferable by the
Optionee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

     9.2. Family Transfers.

     If authorized in the applicable Option Agreement, an Optionee may transfer
an Option, not for value, to any Family Member, provided that the Optionee
provides prior written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the
Company, of such transfer. For the purpose of this Section 9.2, a “not for
value” transfer is a transfer which is (i) a gift, (ii) a transfer under a
domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; or (iii) a
transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests
are owned by Family Members (or the Optionee) in exchange for an interest in
that entity. Following a transfer under this Section 9.2, any such Option
shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were
applicable immediately prior to transfer. Subsequent transfers of transferred
Options are prohibited except to Family Members of the original Optionee in
accordance with this Section 9.2 or by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. The events of termination of Service of Section 8.4 hereof shall
continue to be applied with respect to the original Optionee, following which
the Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for
the periods specified, in Section 8.4.

10. FORM OF PAYMENT FOR OPTIONS

     10.1. General Rule.

     Payment of the Option Price for the shares purchased pursuant to the
exercise of an Option shall be made in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable
to the Company.

     10.2. Surrender of Stock.

     To the extent the Option Agreement so provides, payment of the Option
Price for shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made
all or in part through the tender to the Company of shares of Stock, which
shares, if acquired from the Company, shall have been held for at least six
months at the time of tender and which shall be valued, for purposes of
determining the extent to which the Option Price has been paid thereby, at
their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

-9-

 

     10.3. Cashless Exercise.

     To the extent the Option Agreement so provides, payment of the Option
Price for shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made
all or in part by delivery (on a form acceptable to the Board) of an
irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company
to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the
Company in payment of the Option Price and any withholding taxes described in
Section 14.4.

     10.4. Promissory Note.

     To the extent the Option Agreement so provides, payment of the Option
Price for shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made
all or in part with a full recourse promissory note executed by the Optionee.
The interest rate and other terms and conditions of such note shall be
determined by the Board. The Board may require that the Optionee pledge the
Stock subject to the Option for the purpose of securing payment of the note.
Unless the Board determines otherwise, the stock certificate(s) representing
the Stock shall not be released to the Optionee until such note is paid in
full.

     10.5. Other Forms of Payment.

     To the extent the Option Agreement so provides, payment of the Option
Price for shares purchased pursuant to exercise of an Option may be made in any
other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.

11. PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or of any other
agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by
an Optionee with the Company or any Affiliate, except an agreement, contract,
or understanding hereafter entered into that expressly modifies or excludes
application of this paragraph (an “Other Agreement”), and notwithstanding any
formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect
provision of compensation to the Optionee (including groups or classes of
Optionees or beneficiaries of which the Optionee is a member), whether or not
such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or
for the Optionee (a “Benefit Arrangement”), if the Optionee is a “disqualified
individual,” as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code, any Option held by that
Optionee and any right to receive any payment or other benefit under this Plan
shall not become exercisable or vested (i) to the extent that such right to
exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all other rights,
payments, or benefits to or for the Optionee under this Plan, all Other
Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause any payment or benefit to
the Optionee under this Plan to be considered a “parachute payment” within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as then in effect (a “Parachute
Payment”) and (ii) if, as a result of receiving a Parachute Payment, the
aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Optionee from the Company under
this Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less
than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by the Optionee
without causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute
Payment. In the event that the receipt of

-10-

 

any such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit under this Plan, in
conjunction with all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Optionee
under any Other Agreement or any Benefit Arrangement would cause the Optionee
to be considered to have received a Parachute Payment under this Plan that
would have the effect of decreasing the after-tax amount received by the
Optionee as described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then the
Optionee shall have the right, in the Optionee’s sole discretion, to designate
those rights, payments, or benefits under this Plan, any Other Agreements, and
any Benefit Arrangements that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid
having the payment or benefit to the Optionee under this Plan be deemed to be a
Parachute Payment.

12. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

     12.1. General.

     The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any shares of Stock
under any Option if the sale or issuance of such shares would constitute a
violation by the Optionee, any other individual exercising an Option, or the
Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or
regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion,
that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares subject to an
Option upon any securities exchange or under any governmental regulatory body
is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the
issuance or purchase of shares hereunder, no shares of Stock may be issued or
sold to the Optionee or any other individual exercising an Option pursuant to
such Option unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or
approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Company, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect
the date of termination of the Option. Specifically, in connection with the
Securities Act, upon the exercise of any Option or the delivery of any shares
of Stock underlying an Option, unless a registration statement under such Act
is in effect with respect to the shares of Stock covered by such Option, the
Company shall not be required to sell or issue such shares unless the Board has
received evidence satisfactory to it that the Optionee or any other individual
exercising an Option may acquire such shares pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act. Any determination in this connection by
the Board shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Company may, but shall
in no event be obligated to, register any securities covered hereby pursuant to
the Securities Act. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative
action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or the issuance of shares of
Stock pursuant to the Plan to comply with any law or regulation of any
governmental authority. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the
requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable until the shares of Stock
covered by such Option are registered or are exempt from registration, the
exercise of such Option (under circumstances in which the laws of such
jurisdiction apply) shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such
registration or the availability of such an exemption.

     12.2. Rule 16b-3.

     During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that
Options pursuant to the Plan and the exercise of Options granted hereunder will
qualify for the exemption provided

-11-

 

by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of the
Plan or action by the Board does not comply with the requirements of Rule
16b-3, it shall be deemed inoperative to the extent permitted by law and deemed
advisable by the Board, and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In the
event that Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Board may exercise its
discretion to modify this Plan in any respect necessary to satisfy the
requirements of, or to take advantage of any features of, the revised exemption
or its replacement.

13. EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

     13.1. Changes in Stock.

     If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or decreased or
the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or
kind of shares or other securities of the Company on account of any
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse split, combination of
shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in
capital stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company occurring after the Effective Date, the
number and kinds of shares for which grants of Options may be made under the
Plan shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Company. In
addition, the number and kind of shares for which Options are outstanding shall
be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so that the proportionate interest
of the Optionee immediately following such event shall, to the extent
practicable, be the same as immediately before such event. Any such adjustment
in outstanding Options shall not change the aggregate Option Price payable with
respect to shares that are subject to the unexercised portion of an outstanding
Option, as applicable, but shall include a corresponding proportionate
adjustment in the Option Price per share. The conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be treated as an increase in shares
effected without receipt of consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event of any distribution to the Company’s stockholders of securities of
any other entity or other assets (other than dividends payable in cash or stock
of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Company
may, in such manner as the Company deems appropriate, adjust (i) the number
and kind of shares subject to outstanding Options and/or (ii) the exercise
price of outstanding Options to reflect such distribution.

     13.2. Reorganization in Which the Company Is the Surviving Entity
Which does not Constitute a Corporate Transaction.

     Subject to Section 13.3 hereof, if the Company shall be the surviving
entity in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one
or more other entities which does not constitute a Corporate Transaction, any
Option theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to
the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to
such Option would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization,
merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the
Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price thereafter shall be
the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares remaining subject to the
Option immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation.
Subject to any contrary language in an Option Agreement, any restrictions
applicable to such Option shall apply as well to any

-12-

 

replacement shares received by the Optionee as a result of the reorganization,
merger or consolidation.

     13.3. Corporate Transaction.

     Subject to the exceptions set forth in the last sentence of this Section
13.3 and the last sentence of Section 13.4 either of the following two actions
shall be taken:

     (A)  fifteen days prior to the scheduled consummation of a Corporate
Transaction, all Options outstanding hereunder shall become immediately
exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of fifteen days, or

     (B)  the Board may elect, in its sole discretion, to cancel any outstanding
Option and pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the holder
thereof an amount in cash or securities having a value (as determined by the
Board acting in good faith) equal to the product of the number of shares of
Stock subject to the Option (the “Option Shares”) multiplied by the amount, if
any, by which (I) the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of
shares of Stock pursuant to such transaction exceeds (II) the Option Price
applicable to such Option Shares.

     With respect to the Company’s establishment of an exercise window, (i) any
exercise of an Option during such fifteen-day period shall be conditioned upon
the consummation of the event and shall be effective only immediately before
the consummation of the event, and (ii) upon consummation of any Corporate
Transaction the Plan, and all outstanding but unexercised Options shall
terminate. The Board shall send written notice of an event that will result in
such a termination to all individuals who hold Options not later than the time
at which the Company gives notice thereof to its stockholders. This Section
13.3 shall not apply to any Corporate Transaction to the extent that provision
is made in writing in connection with such Corporate Transaction for the
assumption or continuation of the Options theretofore granted, or for the
substitution for such Options for new common stock options relating to the
stock of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with
appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares (disregarding any
consideration that is not common stock) and option and stock appreciation right
exercise prices, in which event the Plan and Options theretofore granted shall
continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.

     13.4. Adjustments.

     Adjustments under this Section 13 related to shares of Stock or securities
of the Company shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares or other
securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions
resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding
downward to the nearest whole share. The Board may provide in the Option
Agreements at the time of grant, or any time thereafter with the consent of the
Optionee, for different provisions to apply to an Option in place of those
described in Sections 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3.

-13-

 

     13.5. No Limitations on Company.

     The making of Options pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in
any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

14. GENERAL PROVISIONS

     14.1. Pooling

     In the event any provision of the Plan or the Option Agreement would
prevent the use of pooling of interests accounting in a corporate transaction
involving the Company and such transaction is contingent upon pooling of
interests accounting, then that provision shall be deemed amended or revoked to
the extent required to preserve such pooling of interests. The Company may
require in an Option Agreement that an Optionee who receives an Option under
the Plan shall, upon advice from the Company, take (or refrain from taking, as
appropriate) all actions necessary or desirable to ensure that pooling of
interests accounting is available.

     14.2. Disclaimer of Rights

     No provision in the Plan or in any Option Agreement shall be construed to
confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or service of the
Company or any Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or
other right or authority of the Company either to increase or decrease the
compensation or other payments to any individual at any time, or to terminate
any employment or other relationship between any individual and the Company.
In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary,
unless otherwise stated in the applicable Option Agreement, no Option granted
under the Plan shall be affected by any change of duties or position of the
Optionee, so long as such Optionee continues to be a director, officer,
consultant or employee of the Company or an Affiliate. The obligation of the
Company to pay any benefits pursuant to this Plan shall be interpreted as a
contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described herein, in the
manner and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan shall in no way be
interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a third party
trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any
Optionee or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan.

     14.3. Nonexclusivity of the Plan

     The adoption of the Plan shall not be construed as creating any
limitations upon the right and authority of the Board to adopt such other
incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable
either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a
particular individual or particular individuals) as the Board in its discretion
determines desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock
options otherwise than under the Plan.

-14-

 

     14.4. Withholding Taxes

     The Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to
deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to an Optionee any Federal,
state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect
to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to an Option or
upon the issuance of any shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option. At
the time of such vesting, lapse, or exercise, the Optionee shall pay to the
Company or the Affiliate, as the case may be, any amount that the Company or
the Affiliate may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such
withholding obligation. Subject to the prior approval of the Company or the
Affiliate, which may be withheld by the Company or the Affiliate, as the case
may be, in its sole discretion, the Optionee may elect to satisfy such
obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Company or the Affiliate
to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Optionee or (ii) by
delivering to the Company or the Affiliate shares of Stock already owned by the
Optionee. The shares of Stock so delivered or withheld shall have an aggregate
Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations. The Fair Market Value
of the shares of Stock used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be
determined by the Company or the Affiliate as of the date that the amount of
tax to be withheld is to be determined. An Optionee who has made an election
pursuant to this Section 14.4 may satisfy his or her withholding obligation
only with shares of Stock that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture,
unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements.

     14.5. Captions

     The use of captions in this Plan or any Option Agreement is for the
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision
of the Plan or such Option Agreement.

     14.6. Other Provisions

     Each Option granted under the Plan may contain such other terms and
conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Board, in
its sole discretion.

     14.7. Number And Gender

     With respect to words used in this Plan, the singular form shall include
the plural form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, etc.,
as the context requires.

     14.8. Severability

     If any provision of the Plan or any Option Agreement shall be determined
to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the
remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in
accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any
other jurisdiction.

     14.9. Governing Law

     The validity and construction of this Plan and the instruments evidencing
the Options hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware,
other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might
otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan and the instruments evidencing the Options
granted hereunder to the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

2. GRANT OF LICENCE

SCEE hereby, grants to Publisher, and Publisher hereby accepts, within the
Licensed Territory only and under the Sony Intellectual Property Rights, a
non-exclusive non-transferable licence, without the right to sub-license
(except as specifically provided herein), to publish PlayStation 2 format
Software in such genres or categories as SCEE shall from time to time designate
in the Specifications, and the right and obligation to use the Licensed
Trademarks, in the form and manner prescribed in the Specifications, strictly,
only and directly in connection with such publication. For these purposes, to
"publish" shall mean any or all of the following: (i) produce Advertising
Materials and Printed Materials; (ii) to issue to SCEE purchase orders for
Manufactured Materials as prescribed in Clause 6; (iii) to market, distribute
and sell Licensed Products (and to authorise others to do so); and (iv) to
sub-license to end users the right to use Licensed Products for non-commercial
purposes only and not for public performance.

3. LIMITATIONS

3.1  Subject always to Article 6, Publisher shall publish PlayStation 2 format
     Software only if developed by a Licensed Developer strictly in accordance
     with all the terms and conditions of such Licensed Developer's LDA 2 and
     shall not publish or attempt to publish any other software whatsoever
     intended for or capable of execution on PlayStation 2. The onus of
     evidencing that PlayStation 2 format Software satisfies the foregoing
     criteria shall rest on Publisher and SCEE reserves the right to require
     Publisher to furnish evidence satisfactory to SCEE that the foregoing
     criteria are satisfied.

3.2  Publisher shall not publish outside the Licensed Territory PlayStation 2
     format Software unless and until Publisher shall be authorised and
     licensed so to do pursuant to a current license agreement with the
     applicable Affiliate of SCEE. Further, Publisher shall not sub-publish
     such PlayStation 2 format Software through a third party either within or
     outside the Licensed Territory unless and until such sub-publisher shall
     be authorised and licensed so to do either pursuant to a current
     PlayStation 2 Licensed Publisher Agreement with SCEE or a current
     PlayStation 2 licence agreement with the applicable Affiliate of SCEE.

3.3  The licence granted in this Agreement extends only to the publication,
     marketing, distribution and sale of Licensed Products in such formats as
     may be designated by SCEE. Without limiting the generality of the
     foregoing and except as otherwise provided herein, Publisher and, if
     applicable, its sub-publishers shall at all times and in all territories
     be strictly prohibited from undertaking or authorising the distribution or
     transmission of PlayStation 2 format Software or Licensed Products through
     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
     interconnected computers or other devices. Notwithstanding this
     limitation, Publisher may electronically transmit PlayStation 2 format
     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

                                       5
<PAGE>

     customary within the high technology industry to reduce the risk of
     unauthorised interception or retransmission of such transmissions.

     For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall apply only to PlayStation
     2 format Software and to Licensed Products and shall not apply to Licensed
     Developer Software which does not utilise Sony Materials and/or Sony
     Intellectual Property Rights and/or, subject to Council Directive
     91/250/EEC, Confidential Information of Sony.

3.4  Subject only to Article 6, Publisher and, if applicable, its
     sub-publishers shall at all times be strictly prohibited from
     disassembling or decompiling software, peeling semiconductor components or
     otherwise reverse engineering or attempting to reverse engineer or derive
     source code or create derivative works from PlayStation 2 format Software,
     from permitting or encouraging any third party so to do, and from
     acquiring or using any materials from any third party who does so.
     Publisher shall in all cases be primarily liable for the payment of
     Platform Charge to SCEE in accordance with Clause 7 hereof in respect of
     any product published by Publisher, or, if applicable, any of its
     sub-publishers, which utilizes Sony Materials and/or Sony Intellectual
     Property Rights and/or, subject to Council Directive 91/250/EEC,
     Confidential Information of Sony. The onus of evidencing that any such
     product is not so published shall rest on Publisher and SCEE reserves the
     right to require Publisher to furnish evidence satisfactory to SCEE that
     the applicable of the foregoing criteria are satisfied.

3.5  Publisher shall inform all such sub-publishers of the obligations imposed
     by this Agreement and shall obtain their commitment to abide by the same.

3.6  Any breach of the provisions of this Clause 3 shall be a material breach
     of this Agreement not capable of remedy.

4. RESERVATIONS

4.1  This Agreement does not grant any right or license, under any Sony
     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.
     Subject only to the rights of Publisher under this Agreement, all right,
     title and interest in and to the Sony Materials and the Sony Intellectual
     Property Rights are and shall be the exclusive property of Sony, and
     Publisher shall not make use of, or do or cause to be done any act or
     thing contesting or in any way impairing or tending to impair any of
     Sony's right, title or interest in or to, any of the Sony Materials, Sony
     Intellectual Property Rights, PlayStation 2 and/or Sony's "PlayStation"
     predecessor video entertainment system except as authorised by and in
     compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or as may otherwise
     expressly be authorised in writing by Sony; provided however that the
     foregoing shall not be taken to preclude Publisher from challenging the
     validity of any Sony Intellectual Property Rights. 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. No
     promotional or novelty items or premium products (including, by way of
     illustration but without limitation, T-shirts, posters, stickers, etc)
     displaying or

                                       6
<PAGE>

     depicting any of the Licensed Trademarks shall be developed, manufactured,
     marketed, sold and/or distributed by, with the authority of or on behalf
     of, Publisher without the prior written consent and authorisation of SCEE
     in each case.

4.2  The Licensed Trademarks and the goodwill associated therewith are and
     shall be the exclusive property of Sony. Nothing herein shall give
     Publisher any right, title or interest in or to any of the Licensed
     Trademarks, other than the non-exclusive license and privilege to display
     and use the Licensed Trademarks solely in accordance with the provisions
     of this Agreement. Publisher shall not do or cause to be done any act or
     thing contesting or in any way impairing or tending to impair any of
     Sony's right, title or interest in or to any of the Licensed Trademarks,
     nor shall Publisher register or apply to register any trademark in its own
     name or in the name of any other person or entity, or obtain or seek to
     obtain rights to employ Internet domain name(s) or address(es), which is
     or are similar to or is or are likely to be confused with any of the
     Licensed Trademarks; provided however that the foregoing shall not be
     taken to preclude Publisher from challenging the validity of any Licensed
     Trademarks.

4.3  Publisher or Licensed Developer (as applicable) retains all right, title
     and interest in and to Licensed Developer Software, including Licensed
     Developer's intellectual property rights therein and any names or other
     designations used as titles therefore, and nothing in this Agreement shall
     be construed to restrict the right of Licensed Developer to develop and/or
     the right of Publisher to publish products incorporating Licensed
     Developer Software (separate and apart from Sony Materials), and/or under
     such names or other designations, for any hardware platform or service
     other than PlayStation 2.

4.4  Subject to the proviso to Clauses 4.1 and 4.2 above, Publisher shall, at
     the expense of SCEE, take all such steps as SCEE may reasonably require,
     including the execution of Licenses and registrations, to assist SCEE in
     maintaining the validity and enforceability of Sony Intellectual Property
     Rights.

4.5  Without prejudice to Clause 11, Publisher or SCEE (as applicable) shall
     promptly and fully notify the other in writing in the event that it
     discovers or otherwise becomes aware of any actual, threatened or
     suspected infringement of any of the intellectual property or trademark
     rights of the other embodied in any of the Licensed Products, and of any
     claim of infringement or alleged infringement by the other of any Third
     Party Intellectual Property Rights, and shall at the request and expense
     of the other do all such things as may reasonably be required to assist
     the other in taking or resisting any proceedings in relation to any such
     infringement or claim.

5. QUALITY STANDARDS

5.1  Publishers shall provide SCEE with a Product Planning Notification for
     each Licensed Product in accordance with the Specifications.

     Each Licensed Product, including without limitation the title and content
     thereof, and/or Publisher's use of any of the Licensed Trademarks, shall
     be required to conform to the

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Specifications and shall not, except as specifically authorised in writing
     by SCEE in each case, incorporate (in whole or in part) more than 1 (one)
     game product.

     Testing or verification for conformity to the specifications shall be
     conducted by SECC or, at publisher's election, by an independent external
     testing service (if and when such service becomes available).

5.2  Publisher shall submit for testing for conformity to the Specifications
     such information and materials relating to the PlayStation 2 format
     Software for each Licensed Product as shall be specified in the
     Specifications. Such Specifications shall be comparable with the
     specifications applied by Sony with respect to its own PlayStation 2
     format Software products. SCEE acknowledges and agrees that such
     Specifications shall be of prospective application only and shall not be
     applied to any inventory units of the Licensed Products manufactured prior
     to, or in the active process of manufacture at the date of, the
     promulgation thereof by SCEE.

5.3  For each Licensed Product, Publisher shall be responsible, at Publisher's
     expense, for the origination of all Printed Materials, and for the
     manufacture and delivery to the manufacturer of such Licensed Product of
     all Printed Materials other than those to be set forth on the Licensed
     Product itself, all of which Printed Materials shall: (i) conform in all
     material respect to the Specifications; and (ii) include such other
     materials (including by way of illustration but not limitation, consumer
     health warnings in relation to epilepsy) and such consumer advisory rating
     code(s) as may from time to time be required by any governmental entity or
     in compliance with any voluntary code of practice operated by members of
     the interactive software development and publishing community. The
     Specifications referred to in (i) above shall be comparable with the
     specifications applied by Sony with respect to its own PlayStation 2
     format Software products. SCEE acknowledges and agrees that such
     Specifications shall be of prospective application only and shall not be
     applied to any inventory units of the Licensed Products manufactured prior
     to, or in the active process of manufacture at the date of, the
     promulgation thereof. All materials to be submitted pursuant to this
     Clause 5.3 shall be delivered by such means and in such form as shall be
     prescribed in the Specifications and at Publisher's sole risk and expense.
     Publisher undertakes that the quality of such Printed Materials shall be
     of the same quality as that associated with high quality consumer
     products.

5.4  When applicable, SCEE (or, where applicable, an independent external
     testing service as aforesaid) will test or verify for conformity to the
     Specifications (as the case may be) all materials submitted by Publisher
     pursuant to Clause 5.2 and Clause 5.3. Where such testing or verification
     is conducted by SCEE, SCEE shall advise Publisher of the results of such
     testing or verification within the applicable of the timeframes specified
     in the Specifications. Where such testing or verification is conducted by
     such independent external testing service, such service shall advise
     Publisher of the results of such testing or verification within timeframes
     agreed between such service and Publisher (and SCEE shall have no
     responsibility or liability whatsoever arising from a failure by such
     service to meet such timeframes). If any of such materials (or any
     element(s) thereof) fail to conform to the Specifications, SCEE (or, where
     applicable, such independent external testing service) shall specify the
     reasons for such failure and state what revisions are required. After
     making the required revisions, Publisher may resubmit such materials in

                                       8
<PAGE>

     such revised form for re-testing or re-verification by SCEE (or, where
     applicable, such independent external testing service). The procedures
     described in this Clause 5.4 shall if necessary be repeated until all such
     materials for each Licensed Product shall expressly have been certified as
     conforming to the Specifications, such certification to be validly given
     only if in writing and signed by the duly authorised representative(s) of
     SCEE as specified in the Specifications (or, where applicable, by the duly
     authorised representative(s) of such independent external testing
     service). SCEE shall have no liability to Publisher for the accuracy or
     content (including translations and localisations) of Printed Materials
     (except only items required to be included in accordance with the
     Specifications) or in respect of costs incurred or irrevocably committed
     by Publisher as a result of any failure to conform to Specifications (even
     where certified for conformity) or in relation to, or to the use of,
     Printed Materials which shall not have been given a certificate of
     conformity by SCEE (or, where applicable, by such independent external
     testing service). No production units of any Licensed Product shall be
     manufactured, marketed, distributed or sold by, with the authority of or
     on behalf of, Publisher unless and until such a certificate of conformity
     of such Licensed Product shall first have been given by SCEE (or, where
     applicable, by such independent external testing service). No certificate
     of conformity from SCEE (or, where applicable, from such independent
     external testing service) of any element of the materials so submitted or
     resubmitted shall be deemed a certificate of conformity of any other
     element of such materials, nor shall any such certificate of conformity be
     deemed to constitute a waiver of any of SCEE's rights under this
     Agreement.

     The generality of the foregoing notwithstanding, in the event that
     Publisher wishes to contest a finding by SCEE of non-conformity to the
     Specifications, and as an alternate to making required revisions and
     resubmissions as above, Publisher may have recourse to the appeals process
     specified in the Specifications.

5.5  Publisher shall not change in any materials respect any of the materials
     for which a certificate of conformity shall have been given by SCEE (or,
     where applicable, by an independent external testing service) pursuant to
     Clause 5.4 (or, if applicable, pursuant to Clause 5.6) (or, alternately,
     which shall have been held to conform to the Specifications following
     recourse by Publisher to the appeals process specified in the
     Specifications). If any of the Licensed Products and/or related materials
     published by, with the authority of or on behalf of Publisher fail to
     conform to the Specifications and the materials for which SCEE (or, where
     applicable, such independent external testing service) shall from time to
     time have given a certificate of conformity, then the provisions of Clause
     13.2 shall apply.

5.6  SCEE reserve the right to require that pre-production samples of all
     Advertising Materials shall be submitted by Publisher to SCEE or at
     Publisher's election, to an independent external testing service (if and
     when such service becomes available), free of charge and in accordance
     with the procedure specified in the Specifications, for verification for
     conformity to the Specifications (including specifically, but without
     limitation, in relation to the usage of any of the Licensed Trademarks),
     prior to any actual production, use or distribution of any such items by,
     with the authority or on behalf of, Publisher. No such proposed
     Advertising Materials shall be produced, used or distributed

                                       9
<PAGE>

     directly or indirectly by Publisher without first obtaining a certificate
     of conformity to the Specifications. Where such verification is conducted
     by SCEG, SCEE shall advise Publisher of the results of such verification
     within the applicable of the time frame specified in the Specifications.
     Where such verification is conducted by such independent external testing
     service, such service shall advise Publisher of the results of such
     verification within timeframes agreed between such service and Publisher
     (and SCEE shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever arising
     from a failure by such service to meet such timeframes). If any such
     Advertising Materials (or any element(s) thereof) fail to conform to the
     Specifications, SCEE (or, where applicable, such independent external
     testing service) shall specify the reasons for such failure and state what
     revisions are required. After making the required revisions, Publisher may
     resubmit such materials in such revised form for re-verification by SCEE
     (or, where applicable, by such independent external testing service). The
     procedures described in this Clause 5.6 shall if necessary be repeated
     until all such Advertising Materials for each Licensed Product shall
     expressly have been certified as conforming to the Specification, such
     certification to be validly given only if in writing and signed by the
     duly authorized representative(s) of SCEE as specified in the
     Specifications (or, where applicable, by the duly authorised
     representative(s) of such independent external testing service). SCEE
     shall have no liability to Publisher in respect of costs incurred or
     irrevocably committed by Publisher in relation to, or to the use of,
     Advertising Materials which shall not have been given a certificate of
     conformity by SCEE (or, where applicable, by such independent external
     testing service). No certificate of conformity from SCEE (or, where
     applicable, from such independent external testing service) of any element
     of Advertising Materials so submitted or resubmitted shall be deemed a
     certificate of conformity of any other element of such Advertising
     Materials, nor shall any such certificate of conformity be deemed to
     constitute a waiver of any of SCEE's rights under this Agreement.

     The generality of the foregoing notwithstanding, in the event that
     Publisher wishes to contest a finding of non-conformity to the
     Specifications by SCEE, and as an alternate to making required revisions
     and resubmissions as above, Publisher may have recourse to the appeals
     process specified in the Specifications.

     Subject in each instance to the prior written consent of SCEE, Publisher
     may use such textual and/or pictorial advertising matter (if any) as may
     be created by, with the authority or on behalf of, Sony pertaining to the
     Sony Materials and/or to the Licensed Trademarks on such Advertising
     Materials as may, in Publisher's judgment, promote the sale of Licensed
     Products within the Licensed Territory. Sony shall have the right to use
     Licensed Products and/or other materials relating to Publisher's
     PlayStation 2 format Software titles in any advertising or promotion for
     PlayStation 2 at Sony's expense, subject to giving Publisher reasonable
     prior notice of such advertisement or promotion. Sony shall confer with
     Publisher regarding the text of any such advertisement. If required by
     Sony and/or any governmental entity or in compliance with any voluntary
     code of practice operated by members of the interactive software
     development and publishing community, Publisher shall, at Publisher's cost
     and expense, also include consumer advisory rating code(s) and, if
     required, other materials (including by way of illustration but not
     limitation, consumer health warnings in relation to epilepsy) on any

                                      10
<PAGE>

     and all Advertising Materials used in connection with Licensed Products.
     Such consumer advisory rating code(s) shall be procured in accordance with
     the provisions of Clause 5.7

5.7  Publisher agrees that, if required by SCEE or any governmental entity, it
     shall submit each Licensed Product to a consumer advisory ratings system
     designated by SCEE 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) thereby procured shall be displayed on Licensed Products and
     associated Printed Materials in accordance with the Specifications, at
     Publisher's cost and expense.

5.8  In the event Publisher fails to comply with its obligations in relation
     thereto as specified in Clause 5.7, SCEE reserves the right in its sole
     discretion, at Publisher's sole cost and expense: (i) to display, or to
     require the display on Licensed Products and/or associated Printed
     Materials and/or associated Advertising Materials (as may be required)
     materials (including by way of illustration but not limitation, consumer
     health warnings in relation to epilepsy) and/or to procure and to display,
     or to require the display of, consumer advisory rating code(s); or (ii) to
     require non-complying Licensed Products and/or associated Printed
     Materials and/or associated Advertising Materials forthwith to be
     withdrawn from the market.

6. MANUFACTURE OF LICENSED PRODUCTS & ASSOCIATED MATERIALS

6.1  Subject only to Article 6, Publisher acknowledges and agrees that it shall
     purchase Manufactured Materials only from an authorised manufacturing
     facility licensed by SCEE. SCEE shall have the right, but no obligation,
     to subcontract the whole or any part or phase of the production of any or
     all of the Manufactured Materials or any part(s) thereof.

6.2  Subject always to Article 6, promptly following the giving by SCEE (or,
     where applicable, by an independent external testing service as aforesaid)
     of a certificate of conformity to the Specifications (or, alternatively, a
     holding of conformity to the Specifications following recourse by
     Publisher to the appeals process specified in the Specifications) for each
     Licensed Product pursuant to Clause 5.2, SCEE shall create (from one of
     the CD copies of the finally approved version of the PlayStation 2 format
     Software as submitted by Publisher pursuant to Clause 5.2) the original
     master PlayStation 2 Disc ("Master PlayStation 2 Disc") from which all
     other copies of the Licensed Product are to be replicated in compliance
     with the Specifications effective at the time of replication. Where such
     certificate of conformity shall have been given by such as independent
     external testing service, then the CD copy of the finally approved version
     of the PlayStation 2 format Software as submitted by Publisher pursuant to
     Clause 5.2 from which the Master PlayStation 2 Disc is to be created shall
     be furnished SCEE by such service. Publisher shall be responsible for the
     costs, as set forth in Schedule 2, of creating such Master PlayStation 2
     Disc. Publisher will retain duplicates of all such PlayStation 2 format
     Software. SCEE shall not be liable for loss of or damage to any copies of
     the PlayStation 2 format Software furnished SCEE hereunder. There will be
     no Technology Exchange between Sony and Publisher under this Agreement.

                                      11
<PAGE>

     The mastering process being of a proprietary and commercially confidential
     nature, neither SCEE nor any manufacturing subcontractor of SCEE will
     under any circumstances release any Master PlayStation 2 Disc or other
     in-process materials to Publisher. All such physical materials shall be
     and remain the sole property of Sonly.

6.3  Subject always to Article 6, Publisher shall be solely responsible for the
     delivery, direct to an authorised manufacturing facility licensed by SCEE
     and in accordance with Clause 6.4, 110% (one hundred and ten percent) of
     the number of sets of the Printed Materials (other than those set forth on
     the applicable Licensed Product itself) required to fulfill Publisher's
     purchase order for Manufactured Materials of each PlayStation 2 format
     Software title, which Printed Materials shall be in strict compliance with
     the Specifications. SCEE shall, at Publisher's request, gave Publisher all
     reasonable assistance in arranging the manufacture of Printed Materials to
     be used in conjunction with Licensed Products not manufactured in reliance
     on Article 6 through SCEE's authorised manufacturing facility (if a Sony
     company), but SCEE shall have no responsibility with respect to pricing,
     delivery or any other related matter whatsoever in connection with such
     manufacture.

6.4  Subject to the giving by SCEE of a certificate of conformity to the
     Specifications (or, alternatively, a holding of conformity following
     recourse by Publisher to the appeals process specified in the
     Specifications) for the applicable PlayStation 2 format Software and
     Printed Materials pursuant to Clause 5, and to the delivery to an
     authorised manufacturing facility licensed by SCEE of the materials to be
     delivered under Clause 6.3, SCEE will, at Publisher's expense and as
     applicable, manufacture, assemble, package and deliver the Manufactured
     Materials and the Printed Materials in accordance with the terms and
     conditions set forth in this Clause 6. The delivery of the materials
     specified in Clause 6.3 shall be made in accordance with the timetable for
     such delivery specified in the Specifications.

6.5  Subject always to Article 6, Publisher shall issue to SCEE purchase
     order(s) via SCEE's Electronic Order System (or otherwise as specified by
     SCEE from time to time) in accordance with, and in compliance with the
     timetable specified in, the Specifications. No such order shall be issued
     unless and until all necessary certificates of conformity shall have been
     given (or, alternatively, there shall have been a holding of conformity
     following recourse by Publisher to the appeals process specified in the
     Specifications) pursuant to Clause 5. Each such order shall reference
     Publisher authorisation number and purchase order reference number,
     specify quantities of PlayStation 2 format Software by title by pack sku
     (in multiples of the minimum box shipment detailed in the Specifications),
     state requested ex-factory delivery date and all packaging information
     together with such other information as SCEE shall reasonably require and
     shall be for not less than the applicable minimum order quantity as
     specified in Schedule 2 hereto. All such purchase orders shall be subject
     to acceptance by SCEE, which acceptance will be advised to Publisher not
     more than 3 (three) working days following delivery in accordance with
     Clause 6.4 of the materials required to be delivered under Clause 6.2 and
     6.3. SCEE shall use all reasonable endeavours, subject to available
     manufacturing capacity, to fulfil Publisher's purchase orders by
     Publisher's requested ex-factory delivery date but does not in any event
     guarantee so to do. Publisher shall have no right

                                      12
<PAGE>

     to cancel or reschedule any purchase order or reorder (or any portion
     thereof) for any Licensed Product unless the parties shall first have
     reached mutual agreement as to Publisher's financial liability with
     respect to any desired cancellation or rescheduling of any such purchase
     order or reorder (or any portion thereof).

6.6  Subject only to the provisions of Clause 6.5 in relation to Printed
     Materials, neither SCEE nor any manufacturing subcontractor of SCEE shall
     be under any obligation to store finished units of Manufactured Materials
     or of associated Printed Materials beyond the actual ex-factory delivery
     date thereof. Delivery of Manufactured Materials shall be made ex-factory
     the applicable authorised manufacturing facility licensed by SCEE in the
     Licensed Territory. All risk of loss or damage in transit to any and all
     Manufactured Materials manufactured by SCEE pursuant to Publisher's orders
     shall pass to Publisher forthwith upon first handling by Publisher's
     carrier.

6.7  Publisher may inspect and test any units of Manufactured Materials not
     manufactured in reliance on Article 6 at Publisher's receiving
     destination. Any finished units of such Manufactured Materials which fail
     to conform to the Specifications and/or any description(s) contained in
     this Agreement may be rejected by Publisher by providing written notice of
     rejection to SCEE within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of such units of such
     Manufactured Materials at Publisher's receiving destination. In such event,
     the provisions of Clause 10.2 shall apply with respect to any such rejected
     units of Manufactured Materials. Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause
     10.2, if Publisher fails to reject any units of such Manufactured Materials
     in the manner and within the 30 (thirty) day period prescribed above, such
     units of Manufactured Materials shall irrevocably be deemed accepted by
     Publisher and shall not subsequently be rejected.

6.8  In no circumstances shall SCEE or its authorised manufacturing facility
     treat any of Publisher's Licensed Products in any way more or less
     favourably, in terms or production turnaround times or otherwise, than the
     Licensed Products of any other Licensed Publisher or SCEE or than
     PlayStation 2 format Software products published by SCEE itself.

7. PLATFORM CHARGE

7.1  The all-in Platform Charge for finished units of Manufactured Materials in
     respect of which SCEE accepts Publisher's purchase order in accordance
     with Clause 6.5 shall be as specified in Schedule 2 (but subject to
     adjustment as therein provided). Such Platform Charge shall be subject to
     change by SCEE at any time upon reasonable notice to Publisher, provided,
     however, that such Platform Charge shall not be changed with respect to
     any units of Manufactured Materials which are the subject of an effective
     purchase order or reorder but which have not yet been delivered by SCEE.
     Such Platform Charge for finished units of Manufactured Materials is
     exclusive of any value-added or similar sales tax, customs and excise
     duties and other similar taxes or duties, which SCEE may be required to
     collect or pay as a consequence of the sale or delivery of finished unites
     of Manufactured Materials. Publisher shall be solely responsible for the
     payment or reimbursement of any such taxes or duties, and other such
     charges or

                                      13
<PAGE>

     assessments applicable to the sale and/or purchase of finished units of
     Manufactured Materials.

     The Platform Charge for products developed utilising Sony Materials and/or
     Sony Intellectual Property Rights and/or, subject to Council Directive
     91/250/EEC, Confidential Information of Sony, but manufactured in reliance
     on Article 6, shall be the otherwise applicable Platform Charge less only
     such sum as represents from time to time the costs of raw materials and
     for production services (including for utilisation if Sony's proprietary
     Disc Mastering technology) for the products concerned which SCEE would
     otherwise have been invoiced for by SCEE's authorised manufacturing
     facility ("the Article 6 Platform Charge"). If Publisher has products so
     manufactured in reliance on Article 6, then Publisher shall furnish SCEE,
     within 28 (twenty eight) days following the close of each calendar month:
     (i) a written reporting of the number or inventory units (by product title)
     of products so manufactured during such calendar month: (ii) an external
     auditor's certificate (or similar independent certificate reasonably
     acceptable to SCEE) confirming the completeness and accuracy of such
     reporting; (iii) Publisher's remittance for the Article 6 Platform Charge
     multiplied by the number of inventory units reflected in such reporting.
     Any failure fully and promptly to comply with the foregoing reporting and
     payment obligation shall constitute a breach of this Agreement not capable
     of remedy, entitling SCEE forthwith to terminate the Term pursuant to
     Clause 13.1(i); and upon termination by SCEE for such cause, the provisions
     of Clause 14.2 shall come into effect.

     SCEE shall upon reasonable written request provide Publisher details of
     the aforementioned costs of raw materials and production services if
     Publisher has legitimately exercised its rights under Article 6 or
     genuinely intends to exercise and rely upon such rights. However, SCEE
     reserves the right to require Publisher to execute a separate
     Non-Disclosure Agreement before making such information available.

7.2  No costs incurred in the development, manufacture, marketing, sale and/or
     distribution of Licensed Products and/or associated materials shall be
     deducted from any Platform Charge payable to SCEE hereunder. Similarly,
     there shall be no deduction from the Platform Charge otherwise payable to
     SCEE hereunder as a result of any uncollectable accounts owed to
     Publisher, or for any credits, discounts, allowances or returns which
     Publisher may credit or otherwise grant to any third party customer in
     respect of any units of Licensed Products and/or associated materials, or
     for any taxes, fees, assessments, or expenses of any kind which may be
     incurred by Publisher in connection with its sale and/or distribution of
     any units of Licensed Products associated materials, and/or arising with
     respect to the payment of Platform Charge hereunder. Publisher shall
     furnish SCEE official tax receipts or other such documentary evidence
     issued by the applicable tax authorities sufficient to substantiate the
     fact of the deduction of any withholding taxes and/or other such
     assessments which may be imposed by any governmental authority with
     respect to such payments of Platform Charge hereunder and the amount of
     each such deduction.

7.3  Publisher shall effect payment for the Platform Charge specified in Clause
     7.1 for the finished units of Manufactured Materials the subject matter of
     each purchase order issued

                                      14
<PAGE>
Confidential information omitted where indicated by "[*]" and filed separately
with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule
24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

     pursuant to Clause 6.5 in accordance with the Specifications. Each delivery
     of Manufactured Materials to Publisher shall constitute a separate sale
     obligating Publisher to pay therefor, whether said delivery be whole or
     partial fulfilment of any order. No claim for credit due to shortage of
     Manufactured Materials as delivered to carrier will be allowed unless it is
     made within 5 (five) working days from the date of receipt at Publisher's
     receiving destination. Title to Manufactured Materials the subject of each
     such purchase order shall pass to Publisher only upon payment in full of
     the Platform Charge due in respect thereof. The receipt and deposit by SCEE
     of any payment of Platform Charge tendered by or on behalf of Publisher as
     aforesaid shall be without prejudice to any rights or remedies of SCEE and
     shall not restrict or prevent SCEE from thereafter successfully challenging
     the basis for calculation and/or the accuracy of such payments. SCEE
     reserves the right, upon reasonable notice to Publisher, to require that
     such payments of Platform Charge be made to such other Sony entity as SCEE
     may designate from time to time.

8. MARKETING & DISTRIBUTION

     Publisher shall, at no expense to SCEE, diligently market, distribute and
     sell Licensed Products throughout (but only in) the Licensed Territory,
     and shall use all reasonable efforts consistent with its best business
     judgment to stimulate demand therefor in the Licensed Territory and to
     supply any resulting demand. Publisher shall not market, distribute or
     sell Licensed Products outside the Licensed Products or to any person,
     firm, corporation or entity having its place of business, or to any
     purchasing agency located, outside the Licensed Territory. Publisher shall
     use all reasonable efforts consistent with its best business judgement to
     protect Licensed Products from and against illegal reproduction and/or
     copying by end users or by any other persons or entities. Such methods of
     protection may include, without limitation, markings or insignia providing
     identification of authenticity and packaging seals as may be specified in
     the Specifications. SCEE shall be entitled, at SCEE's sole cost and
     expense, to manufacture up to 200 (two hundred) additional units of
     Manufactured Materials (or such greater number of additional units as
     shall be agreed by Publisher, such agreement not unreasonably to be
     withheld or delayed) for each PlayStation 2 format Software title (and to
     purchase from Publisher, at a price equal to the actual cost thereof to
     Publisher, a corresponding number of units of Printed Materials for each
     such PlayStation 2 format Software title), for the purposes of or in
     connection with the marketing and promotion of PlayStation 2; provided
     however that SCEE shall not directly or indirectly resell any such units
     of Manufactured Materials (and, if applicable, of Printed Materials)
     within the Licensed Territory without Publisher's prior written consent.
     Further, SCEE shall be entitled to utilise Publisher's name and/or logo
     and the audio-visual content of, and/or the Printed Materials for,
     PlayStation 2 format Software titles (not to exclude the likenesses of any
     recognisable talent) for the purposes of or in connection with such
     marketing and promotion.

9. CONFIDENTIALITY

9.1  Publisher hereby acknowledges that the CNDA will remain in full force and
     effect with respect to the Confidential Information of Sony throughout the
     Term of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency
     between the provisions of the CNDA and the provisions of this Clause 9, the
     provisions of the CNDA shall control with respect to the Confidential
     Information of Sony.

Confidential information omitted where indicated by "[*]" and filed separately
with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule
24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

9.2  [*] ("receiving party") shall hold all Confidential Information of [*]
     ("disclosing party") in trust and in strict confidence for the sole benefit
     of the disclosing party and for the exercise of the limited rights
     expressly granted to the receiving party under this Agreement. The
     receiving party shall take all steps necessary to preserve the
     confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party,
     and to prevent it from falling into the public domain or into the
     possession of persons other than those persons to whom disclosure is
     authorized hereunder, including but not limited to those steps that the
     receiving party takes to protect the confidentiality of its own most highly
     confidential information. Except as may be expressly authorized by the
     disclosing party in writing, the receiving party shall not at any time,
     either before or after any termination of this Agreement, directly or
     indirectly: (i) disclose any Confidential Information to any person other
     than an employee [*] of the receiving party who needs to know or have
     access to such Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement,
     and only to the extent necessary for such purposes [*]; (ii) except as
     otherwise provided in this Agreement, duplicate the Confidential
     Information for any purpose whatsoever; (iii) use the Confidential
     Information for any reason or purpose other than as expressly permitted in
     this Agreement; or (iv) remove any copyright notice, trademark notice
     and/or other proprietary legend set forth on or contained within any of the
     Confidential Information.

9.3  If at any time the receiving party becomes aware of any unauthorized
     duplication, access, use, possession or knowledge of any Confidential
     Information, the receiving party shall immediately notify the disclosing
     party. The receiving party shall provide any and all reasonable assistance
     to the disclosing party to protect the disclosing party's proprietary
     rights in any Confidential Information that the receiving party or [*] may
     have directly or indirectly disclosed or made available and that may be
     duplicated, accessed, used, possessed or known in a manner or for a purpose
     not expressly authorized by this Agreement including but not limited to
     enforcement of confidentiality agreements, commencement and prosecution in
     good faith (alone or with the disclosing party) of legal action, and
     reimbursement for all reasonable attorneys' fees (and all related costs),
     costs and expenses incurred by the disclosing party to protect its
     proprietary rights in the Confidential Information. The receiving party
     shall take all reasonable steps requested by the disclosing party to
     prevent the recurrence of any unauthorized duplication, access, use,
     possession of knowledge of the Confidential Information.

9.4  If [*] violates or fails to comply with any of the terms or conditions of
     this Clause 9, or [*] violates or fails to comply with any of the terms or
     conditions of Clauses 3 and 4, [*] shall be entitled to an accounting and
     repayment of all forms of compensation, commissions, remuneration or
     benefits which the violating party directly or indirectly realizes as a
     result of or in connection with any such violation or failure to comply.
     Such remedy shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any injunctive
     relief or other remedies to which the disclosing party may be entitled
     under this Agreement or otherwise, at law or in equity.

9.5  The foregoing restrictions will not apply to information to the extent that
     the receiving party can demonstrate such information: (i) was known to the
     receiving party at the time of disclosure to the receiving party by the
     disclosing party as shown by the files of the receiving party in existence
     at the time of disclosure; (ii) becomes part of information in the public
     domain through no fault of the receiving party; (iii) has been rightfully
     received from a third party authorized by the disclosing party to make such
     disclosure without restriction; (iv) has been approved for release by prior
     written authorization of the disclosing party; or (v) has been disclosed by
     court order or as otherwise required by law (including without limitation
     to the extent that disclosure may be required under Federal or State
     securities laws, or their equivalents in the Licensed Territory), provided
     that the receiving party has notified the disclosing party promptly upon
     learning of the possibility of any such court order or legal requirement
     and has given the disclosing party a reasonable opportunity (and
     co-operated with the disclosing party) to contest or limit the scope of
     such required disclosure (including application for a protective order).
     Information shall not be deemed known to the receiving party or publicly
     known for purposes of the above exceptions (a) merely because it is
     embraced by more general information in the prior possession of the
     receiving party or others, or (b) merely because it is expressed in public
     material in general terms not specifically the same as Confidential
     Information.

9.6  Subject to Clause 9.5, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be
     treated as Confidential Information; provided that [*] may disclose the
     terms and conditions of this Agreement: (i) to legal counsel; (ii) in
     confidence, to accountants, banks and financing sources and their advisors;
     and (iii) in confidence, in connection with the enforcement of this
     Agreement or rights under this Agreement and (iv) without limiting the
     requirements set forth in Clause 9.5(v), [*] that if [*] shall be required,
     in the opinion of counsel, to file publicly or otherwise disclose the terms
     of this Agreement under applicable Federal and/or State securities laws (or
     their equivalents in the Licensed Territory), [*] shall request, and shall
     use its best efforts to obtain, confidential treatment for such sections of
     this Agreement as the non-filing party may designate after receiving the
     notice provided for in Clause 9.5(v). Any failure to notify under such
     Clause with respect to (iv) of this Clause 9.6 shall be deemed a breach of
     a material obligation and be subject to termination pursuant to Clause
     13.1. [*] shall treat the fact that the parties have entered into this
     Agreement as Confidential Information until a public announcement regarding
     this Agreement is released by SCEA or SCEE, at its sole discretion,
     announcing that Publisher has become a Licensed Publisher under this
     Agreement.

10.  WARRANTIES

     Products manufactured by SCEE for Publisher pursuant to Clause 6 hereof

     obligation of SCEE under this warranty shall be, for a period of 90
     (ninety) days from the date of delivery of such discs in accordance with
     Clause 6.6, at SCEE's election, either (i) to replace such defective discs
     or (ii) to issue credit for, or to refund to Publisher the Platform Charge
     of such defective discs (excluding PlayStation 2 Disc mastering charge)
     and to reimburse Publisher its reasonable return shipping costs. Such
     warranty is the only warranty applicable to Licensed Products manufactured
     by SCEE for Publisher pursuant to Clause 6. This warranty shall not apply
     to damage resulting from accident, fair wear and tear, willful damage,
     alteration, negligence, abnormal conditions of use, failure to follow
     directions for use (whether given in instruction manuals or otherwise
     howsoever) or misuse of Licensed Products, or to discs comprising less
     than 1% (one percent) or, if greater, 100 (one hundred) units in the
     aggregate of the total number of Licensed Products manufactured by SCEE
     for Publisher per purchase order of any PlayStation 2 format Software
     title. If, during such 90 (ninety) day period, defects appear as
     aforesaid, Publisher shall notify SCEE and, upon request by SCEE (but not
     otherwise), return such defective discs, with a written description of the
     defect claimed, to such location as SCEE shall designate. SCEE shall not
     accept for replacement, credit or refund as aforesaid any Licensed
     Products except factory defective discs (i.e., discs that are not free
     from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service).
     All returns of defective discs shall be subject to prior written
     authorisation by SCEE, not unreasonably to be withheld. If no defect
     exists or the defect is not such as to be covered under the above
     warranty, Publisher shall reimburse SCEE for expenses incurred in
     processing and analysing the discs.

10.3 Publisher represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that: (i) Publisher
     has the right, power and authority to enter into, and fully to perform its

     existing between Publisher and any other person, firm, corporation or
     entity, and, throughout the Term, Publisher shall not make any separate
     agreement with any person or entity which is inconsistent with any of the
     provisions hereof; (iii) both Licensed Developer Software and PlayStation
     2 format Software, and any name, designation or title used in conjunction
     therewith, shall be free from any valid third party claim of infringement
     of any Third Party Intellectual Property Rights; (iv) there is no
     litigation, proceeding or claim pending or threatened against Publisher or
     any subsidiary or affiliate of Publisher which may materially affect
     Publisher's rights in and to Licensed Developer Software, the names,

     performances embodied therein and/or the copyrights pertaining thereto;
     (v) Publisher shall have made or shall make any and all payments required
     to be made to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, or to any
     body or group representing authors or participants in the production of
     the works or performances embodied in Licensed Developer Software and

     legal or contractual rights of any kind to participate in any income
     arising in respect of the exploitation of such works or performances; (vi)
     neither Publisher nor any subsidiary or affiliate of Publisher shall make

     matter(s) and/or has challenged the validity of any Sony Intellectual
     Property Rights in Publisher or in all or substantially all of Publisher's
     property (whether tangible or intangible), assets and/or undertaking, being
     acquired, directly or indirectly, by any person, firm, corporation or other
     entity; (x) Publisher enters into any third party business relationship
     pursuant to which Publisher makes a material contribution to the
     development of the core components of any interactive hardware device or
     product which is or will be directly or indirectly competitive with
     PlayStation 2, or if Publisher directly or indirectly holds or acquires a
     partnership or equity interest (other than a holding or acquisition of less
     than an aggregate of 5% (five percent) of the issued share capital, as
     quoted on a recognized investments exchange) in, or otherwise forms a
     strategic commercial relationship with, any third party firm, corporation

     relating to any new PlayStation 2 format Software in accordance with Clause

     proprietary technology, trade secrets and/or intellectual property
     matter(s) an/or challenging the validity of any Sony Intellectual Property
     Rights. As used in this Clause 13.1. "controlling interest" means (i) in
     relation to a body corporate, the power of the holder of such interest to
     secure - (a) by means of the holding of shares or the possession of voting
     power in, or in relation to, that or any other body corporate or (b) by
     virtue of any powers conferred by the Articles of Association or other
     document regulating that or any other body corporate - that the affairs of
     such body corporate be conducted in accordance with the wishes of the
     holder of such interest, and (ii) in relation to a partnership, the right
     to a share of more than 50% (fifty percent) of the assets or of the income
     of the partnership. Forthwith upon such occurrence, Publisher shall notify
     SCEE of the occurrence of any of the events or circumstances specified in
     (ii) to (x) above; and Publisher's failure to so do shall be a material
     breach of this Agreement not capable of remedy.

13.2 Further, SCEE shall have the right by written notice to Publisher
     forthwith to terminate the licenses and related rights herein granted to
     Publisher in relation to any PlayStation 2 format Software at any time
     after the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any failure by
     Publisher to submit to SCEE the materials required to be submitted under
     Clauses 5.2 and 5.3 (or, if applicable, under Clause 5.6) in the form and
     manner and in

                                      21

     (ii) any failure by Publisher promptly to notify SCEE in writing of any
     material change to any of the materials approved by SCEE pursuant to
     Clause 5.4 (or, if applicable, pursuant to Clause 5.6); provided however
     that SCEE shall not be entitled to exercise such right of termination if
     Publisher's failure under (i) above is directly caused by SCEE's failure
     to comply with any of its material obligations expressly set forth herein.

14. EFFECT OF EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION

14.1 Notwithstanding the expiration of the Term, Publisher shall be entitled to
     continue to publish PlayStation2 format Software the development of which
     shall have been approved prior to or during the Term hereof by SCEE (or by
     an Affiliate of SCEE) pursuant to the applicable LDA2, and to use the
     Licensed Trademarks strictly, only and directly in connection with such
     publication, until the expiration of the Term, or if later, until the
     second anniversary of the 31 March next following such approval. Upon
     expiration of the Term or, if applicable, such extended period for
     publishing PlayStation 2 format Software, Publisher may sell off existing
     inventories of the applicable PlayStation 2 format Software titles, on a
     non-exclusive basis, for a period of 180 (one hundred and eighty) days
     from the applicable expiration date; provided always that such inventory
     thereof shall not have been manufactured solely or principally for sale
     within such sell-off period.

14.2 However, upon the exercising by SCEE of its right of termination, either
     of this Agreement pursuant to Clause 13.1(i) to (viii) or Clause 13.1(xii)
     or in relation to any PlayStation 2 format Software pursuant to Clause
     13.2, all rights, licences and privileges licensed or otherwise granted to
     Publisher hereunder, either generally or in relation to such PlayStation 2
     format Software (as applicable), shall forthwith and without further
     formality revert absolutely to SCEE and Publisher shall forthwith cease
     and desist from any further use of the Sony Materials, any Sony
     Intellectual Property Rights related thereto and the Licensed Trademarks,
     and, subject to Clause 14.3, shall have no further right to continue the
     marketing, sale and/or distribution of any units of Licensed Product or of
     any units of Licensed Product derived from such PlayStation 2 format
     Software (as applicable).

14.3 In the event of termination by SCEE pursuant to Clause 13.1(ix), (x) or
     (xi) or by Publisher pursuant to Clause 25, Publisher may sell-off then
     unsold units of Licensed Product(s), for a period of 90 (ninety) days from
     the effective date of termination; provided always that such inventory
     thereof shall not have been manufactured solely or principally for sale
     within such sell-off period. Subsequent to the expiry of 180 (one hundred
     and eighty) day or 90 (ninety) day sell-off period, or in the event of
     termination by SCEE pursuant to Clause 13.1(i) to (viii), Clause 13.1(xii)
     or Clause 13.2, any and all units of Licensed Products or the applicable
     Licensed Products (as the case may be) remaining in Publisher's inventory
     and/or under its control shall be destroyed by Publisher within 5 (five)
     working days following such expiry or effective date of termination. Within
     5 (five) working days following such destruction, Publisher shall furnish
     SCEE an itemized statement, certified accurate by a duly authorized
     officer, partner or other representative (as applicable) of Publisher,
     specifying the number of then unsold units of Licensed Product(s) to which
     such termination applies, on a PlayStation 2 format Software title-by-

                                      22
<PAGE>

     title basis, which remain in its inventory and/or under its control at
     such date, confirming the number of units of Licensed Products destroyed,
     on a PlayStation 2 format Software title-by-title basis, and indicating
     the location and date of such destruction and the disposition of the
     remains of such destroyed materials. SCEE shall be entitled to conduct a
     physical inspection of Publisher's inventory during normal business hours
     in order to ascertain or verify such inventory and/or statement.

14.4 Upon termination of the Term by SCEE pursuant to Clause 13.1, Publisher
     shall forthwith deliver up to SCEE (or, if so requested by SCEE in
     writing, destroy and promptly furnish SCEE a certificate of such
     destruction signed by a duly authorized officer, partner or other
     representative (as applicable) of Publisher) all Sony Materials, and any
     Confidential Information of Sony of which Publisher shall have become
     apprized and which has been reduced to tangible or written form, and any
     and all copies thereof then in the possession, custody or control of
     Publisher.

14.5 SCEE shall be under no obligation to renew or extend this Agreement
     notwithstanding any actions taken by either of the parties prior to its
     expiration or earlier termination. In the event of termination pursuant to
     Clauses 13.1 or 13.2, no part of any payment(s) whatsoever theretofore
     made to SCEE hereunder (or, if Publisher shall also have executed a LDA2,
     thereunder) shall be owed or repayable to Publisher, and nor shall either
     party be liable to the other for any damages (whether direct,
     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 or earlier termination. However, the expiration or earlier
     termination of this Agreement shall not excuse either party from any prior
     breach of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or from any
     obligations surviving such expiration or earlier termination, and full
     legal and equitable remedies shall remain available for any breach or
     threatened breach of this Agreement or of any obligations arising
     therefrom.

14.6 The expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement (whether by SCEE
     pursuant to Clause 13 or otherwise howsoever) shall be without prejudice
     to any and all rights and remedies which either party may then or
     subsequently have against the other party.

15.  NOTICES

15.1 All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by
     courier or other personal delivery, by registered or certified mail, by
     recognized international courier service or by facsimile transmission
     (with an immediate confirmation copy by regular mail or any of the methods
     specified above) at the appropriate address hereinbefore specified or at a
     substitute address designated by notice by the party concerned (and in the
     case of notices to SCEE shall be directed to its Vice President, Business
     Affairs or such other Sony representative as shall from time to time be
     designated by notice by SCEE). Notices given other than by facsimile
     transmission shall be deemed given and effective when delivered. Notices
     given by facsimile transmission shall be deemed given only upon receipt of
     confirmation copy as aforesaid but, upon such receipt, shall be deemed
     effective as of the date of transmission.

                                      23
<PAGE>

15.2 Whenever Publisher is required to obtain the authorization, consent or
     approval of SCEE, Publisher shall request the same by notice to SCEE as
     aforesaid, and with a copy under separate cover to its Director of Third
     Party Relations or such other Sony representative as shall from time to
     time be designated by notice to Publisher. Such authorization, consent or
     approval shall not be deemed to be granted unless and until SCEE shall
     have given a written affirmative response to each request therefor and
     shall in no event be implied or inferred from any delay or failure of SCEE
     to give such or any response.

16.  FORCE MAJEURE

Neither SCEE 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 breach of, its obligations under this Agreement results from any events or
4 circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation any
natural disaster, fire, flood, earthquake or other act of God, inevitable
accidents, lockout, strike or other labour dispute, riot or civil commotion,
act of public enemy, enactment, rule, order or act of any government or
governmental authority, failure of technical facilities, or failure or delay of
transportation facilities.

17.  RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

The relationship hereunder between SCEE and Publisher respectively is that of
licensor and licensee. Publisher is an independent contractor and shall not in
any respect act as or be deemed to be the legal representative, agent, joint
venturer, partner or employee of SCEE for any purpose whatsoever. Neither party
shall have any right or authority to assume or create any obligations of any
kind or make any representation or warranty (express or implied) on behalf of
the other party or to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever.

18.  ASSIGNABILITY

SCEE has entered into this Agreement based on the particular reputation,
capabilities and experience of Publisher and of its officers, directors and
employees. Accordingly, Publisher may not assign, pledge or otherwise dispose
of this Agreement or of 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 SCEE shall first have been obtained in each case. Any
attempted or purported assignment, pledge, delegation or other disposition in
contravention of this Clause 18 shall be null and void and a material breach of
this Agreement not capable of remedy. SCEE shall be entitled, without the
consent of Publisher, to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any
corporation or other entity in which Sony Corporation (or any successor in
interest thereto) holds a controlling interest, whether directly or indirectly.
Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall enure to the benefit of the
parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

A person who is not party to this Agreement shall have no right under the
Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act of 1999 to enforce any term of this
Agreement. This provision does not affect any right or remedy of any person
which exists or is available otherwise than pursuant to such Act.

                                      24

19. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS

The parties shall at all times comply with all applicable regulations and
orders of their respective countries and all conventions and treaties to which
their countries are 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, licence or permit required
for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and shall declare, record or
take such steps as may be necessary to render this Agreement binding, including
without limitation any required filing of this Agreement with any appropriate
governmental authorities.

20.  GOVERNING LAW.

This agreement shall be governed by, construed and interpreted in accordance
with English Law, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles
thereof. The parties irrevocably agree for the exclusive benefit of SCEE that
the English Courts shall have jurisdiction to adjudicate any proceeding, suit
or action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. However, nothing
contained in this Clause 20 shall limit the right of SCEE to take any such
proceeding, suit or action against Publisher in any other court of competent
jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of any such proceeding, suit or action in
one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of any other such proceeding,
suit or action in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not, to the
extent permitted by the law of such other jurisdiction. Publisher shall have
the right to take any such proceeding, suit or action against SCEE only in the
English Courts.

21.  REMEDIES

Publisher acknowledges and agrees that any breach by Publisher of this
Agreement may cause Sony irreparable harm and damage which may not be capable
of remedy by damages alone and therefore that in the event of any such breach
SCEE may seek equitable (including injunctive) relief against Publisher in
addition to damages and/or other remedy available to SCEE at law or in equity.
Either party's election to avail itself of any of the remedies provided for in
this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available hereunder
or otherwise at law or in equity, and all such remedies shall be cumulative.
Publisher shall indemnify SCEE for all losses, liabilities, damages, expenses
and costs, including without limitation reasonable fees for lawyers, expert
witnesses and litigation costs, which SCEE may sustain or incur as a result of
any breach or threatened breach by Publisher of this Agreement.

22.  SEVERABILITY

In the event that any provision of this Agreement (or any part(s) thereof),
other than a provision in respect of which SCEE gives a notice of amendment
pursuant to Clause 25, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision (or part(s) 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, but not in any way so as to affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement which shall continue
in full force and effect.

remedy. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless

waiver. 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 in relation
to any future event or circumstance.

25.  AMENDMENTS

          NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE READ OR APPLIED IN SUCH A WAY AS

For these purposes, "maximum price to trade" shall mean:

Publisher's (or, where applicable, Publisher's distributor's) highest price
net of trade margin to any trade customer in the European Economic Area and
Australia for Publisher's (or, where applicable, Publisher's distributor's)
minimum order quantity of the relevant inventory, net of year end (or similar)
volume rebates (if any) properly attributable to sales of PlayStation software,
but prior to any credit, deduction or rebate for co-op advertising or other
marketing support, returns or otherwise howsoever.

Where Publisher's business (with the trade or through distributors) is conducted
in local currencies other the, the local currency/ exchange rates to be applied

exchange rate will then reset for each successive 6 month period thereafter.

The local currency maximum price to trade for any given title will then be
that derived by applying the exchange rate obtaining for the 6 month period (as
above) in which Publisher places its first Purchase Order ("PO") for the title
concerned and will continue to apply for that title

Bank applicable for any given 6 month period (as above) in the event of a
material exchange rate fluctuation, deemed for these purposes to be +/-5%.

PLAYSTATION2 HIT TITLE REBATE PROGRAM.

Publisher's software orders in each qualifying financial year (April - March)
will determine the level of Hit Title Rebate ("HTR") in the following financial
year. The first qualifying year runs 1 April 1999-31 March 2000.

Titles with total bona fide orders below [*] units will not be taken into
account. Otherwise, all orders for software for Sony's "PlayStation"
predecessor video entertainment system (in one Band only per title) and all
orders for PlayStation format Software in each qualifying financial year will
be taken into account in calculating the Level of HTR for the following
financial year.

Once qualified for (as above), HTR for each financial year will be at one of
the following levels:

Level 1 (up to [*] units in qualifying financial year, i.e. immediately
preceding April - March),

Level 2 (over [*] units in qualifying financial year),

Level 3 (over [*]units in qualifying financial year).

HTR will be redeemable in the applicable financial year, against orders of
PlayStation 2 format Software only, as follows:

UNITS PER                    LEVEL 1          LEVEL 2          LEVEL 3

                    -----

The HTR for each PlayStation 2 title shall continue to escalate (as above) for
orders in the same Band notwithstanding that such orders may be placed in a
following financial year. Subsequent orders for the same title but in a
different Band will be counted for these purposes as orders for a new "title".

In order to verify conformity with the Band structure for PlayStation 2 format
Software described above, SCEE will require from time to time at its own

and/or branch offices in the Licensed Territory). Any such inspection and audit
shall take place during normal business hours at Publisher's principal place of
business (or such other location as the relevant books and records are
maintained) upon reasonable prior
