Common use of Content Rating Clause in Contracts

Content Rating. For those Territories that utilize a content rating system, Microsoft will not grant final Certification approval to a Software Title unless and until Licensee shall have obtained, at Licensee's sole cost, a rating not higher than "Mature (17+)" or its equivalent from the appropriate rating bodies for the applicable Territory (such as, ESRB, ELSPA, etc.) and/or any and all other independent content rating authority/authorities reasonably designated by Microsoft. Licensee shall make any changes to the Software Title required to obtain a rating not higher than "Mature (17+)" (or its equivalent). In no event shall Licensee distribute any Software Title under an "Adults Only" or higher (or equivalent) rating. Licensee shall include the applicable rating(s) prominently on Finished Product Units, in accordance with the applicable rating body guidelines. For those Territories that do not utilize a content rating system (e.g. Japan), Microsoft shall not approve any Software Title that, in its opinion, contains excessive sexual content or violence, inappropriate language or other elements deemed unsuitable for the Xbox console platform.
