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 licence 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 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

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe
PlayStation 2 Licensed Publisher C O N F I D E N T I A L Page 4

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 utilises 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 licence, under any Sony Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise, except as expressly provided herein, and no other right or licence 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, licence 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 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 licence 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 therefor, 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 licences 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	Publisher 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 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 SCEE 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 respects 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 Where 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

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe
PlayStation 2 Licensed Publisher C O N F I D E N T I A L Page 6

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 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 material 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 reserves 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 directly or indirectly by Publisher without first obtaining a certificate of conformity to the Specifications. Where such verification is conducted by SCEE, SCEE shall advise Publisher of the results of such verification within the applicable of the timeframes 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

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe
PlayStation 2 Licensed Publisher C O N F I D E N T I A L Page 7

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 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 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 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

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe

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, alternately, 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 an 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. 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 Discs or other in-process materials to Publisher. All such physical materials shall be and remain the sole property of Sony.

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, [ * ] 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.

Publisher shall have no right 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 [ * ] 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 [ * ] 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 of production turnaround times or otherwise, than the Licensed Products of any other Licensed Publisher of 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 units of Manufactured Materials. Publisher shall be solely responsible for the payment or reimbursement of any such taxes or duties, and other such charges or 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 of 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 [ * ] days following the close of each calendar month: (i) a written reporting of the number of 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 obligations 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 and/or 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 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 [ * ] 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 payment. SCEE reserves the right, upon reasonable notice to Publisher, to require that such payments of Platform Charge shall be made to such other Sony entity as SCEE may designate from time to time.

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 Territory 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 judgment 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 [ * ] 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	All the terms and provisions of the CNDA shall apply to Confidential Information of Sony and, if and to the extent applicable, Confidential Information of Publisher.

9.2 Where Confidential Information of Publisher is not protected by the CNDA, SCEE shall hold the same in confidence and shall take all reasonable steps necessary to preserve such confidentiality. Except as may expressly be authorised by Publisher, SCEE shall not at any time, directly or indirectly: (i) disclose any Confidential Information of Publisher to any person other than a Sony employee who needs to know or have access to such information for the purposes of this Agreement, and only to the extent necessary for such purposes; (ii) except for the purposes of this Agreement, duplicate or use the Confidential Information of Publisher for any other purpose whatsoever; or (iii) remove any copyright notice, trademark notice and/or other proprietary legend set forth on or contained within any of the Confidential Information of Publisher.

9.3 The provisions of Clause 9.2 hereof shall not apply to any Confidential Information of Publisher which: (i) has become part of information in the public domain through no fault of SCEE; (ii) was known to SCEE prior to the disclosure thereof by Publisher; (iii) properly comes into the possession of SCEE from a third party which is not under any obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information. SCEE may disclose Confidential Information of Publisher pursuant to a judicial or governmental order provided that SCEE promptly advises Publisher in writing prior to any such disclosure so that Publisher may seek other legal remedies to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information of Publisher, and SCEE shall comply with any applicable protective order or equivalent.

9.4 Unless and until a public announcement regarding this Agreement shall have been made by Sony (or SCEE shall otherwise have agreed in writing), the fact that the parties have entered into this Agreement shall be Confidential Information of Sony and shall be treated in all respects accordingly. The content of, and the timing and method of the making of, any such public announcement shall be determined by SCEE in its best business judgement. However, SCEE will give reasonable consideration to any notice from Publisher requesting that no such public announcement be made, at or prior to a particular time or at all.

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 [ * ] 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 PlayStation2 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 [ * ] 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 such [ * ] day or [ * ] 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 [ * ] working days following such expiry or effective date of termination. Within [ * ] working days following such destruction, Publisher shall furnish SCEE an itemised statement, certified accurate by a duly authorised 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-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 P1ayStation 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 authorised officer, partner or other representative (as applicable) of Publisher) all Sony Materials, and any Confidential Information of Sony of which Publisher shall have become apprised 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.

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.

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 any 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.

[*]	[*]	[*]
[*]	[*]	[*]

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 than , the local currency/ exchange rates to be applied for purposes of conforming to maximum price to trade for any given Band will be the closing mid-point spot rate as quoted in the London "Financial Times" on the first business day of each [ * ] period, commencing 1 April 2000. Such exchange rate will then reset for each successive [ * ] 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 [ * ] period (as above) in which Publisher places its first Purchase Order ("PO") for the title concerned and will continue to apply for that title unless and until, on migration (see below), Publisher places its first PO in a different Band in a subsequent [ * ] period.

SCEE reserves the right to review local currency maximum prices to trade per Band applicable for any given [ * ] period (as above) in the event of a material exchange rate fluctuation, deemed for these purposes to be +/– [ * ]%.

The foregoing assumes a standard 1-Disc PlayStation 2 CD-ROM product and covers mastering, Disc, standard 2-colour Disc Label, PlayStation 2 box (or other packaging) and automated assembly of all components, but excludes the cost_. of Printed Materials other than Disc Label.

For multi-disc PlayStation 2 CD-ROM products and PlayStation 2 products in DVD5 format, the applicable Platform Charge specified above shall be increased by + [ * ]/unit.

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 2 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, ie. 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 for PlayStation 2 format Software only, as follows –

units per PlayStation2 title *	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
[*]	[*]	[*]	[*]
[*]	[*]	[*]	[*]
[*]	[*]	[*]	[*]
[*]	[*]	[*]	[*]
[*]	[*]	[*]	[*]
[*]	[*]	[*]	[*]
[*]	[*]	[*]	[*]

* NB: per title not per SKU and not cume across all PlayStation2 titles

The HTR for each PlayStation2 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 expense to inspect and audit the relevant of Publisher's financial records (and, where applicable, those of Publisher's associated companies, subsidiaries 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 notice and shall, at SCEE's sole election, be conducted either by an independent chartered or certified accountant or by an appropriately professionally qualified member of SCEE's staff.
