[*] Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment pursuant
to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
3. NEW ROYALTY [*]
3.1 The royalty rate tables and provisions in Sections 7.1.4 and 7.1.5
(or Sections 6.1.4 and 6.1.5) of the PLA describing how royalty rates are
calculated are hereby replaced by the provisions of this Amendment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the [*] described below will only be
available to Publisher after [*].
3.2 Royalty Fee
3.2.1 For each FPU manufactured during the Term of the PLA,
Publisher shall pay Microsoft nonrefundable royalties in accordance with the
royalty tables set forth below (Tables 1 and 2) and the "Unit Discount" table
set forth in Section 3.4 of this Amendment (Table 3).
3.2.2 The Base Royalty rate is determined by the "Threshold
Price" (which is the Wholesale Price (WSP) or Suggested Retail Price (SRP) at
which Publisher intends to sell the Software Title in the applicable Sales
Territory) and the Publisher's billing election per the PLA ("worldwide" or
"regional"). To determine the applicable Base Royalty for a particular Software
Title in a particular Sales Territory, the applicable Threshold Price from Table
1 below will determine the correct royalty "Tier." The Base Royalty is then as
set forth in Table 2 based on the billing option selected by Publisher under the
PLA and the Manufacturing Region in which the FPUs will be manufactured. For
example, assume the Wholesale Price of a Software Title to be sold in the
European Sales Territory is [*]. According to Table 1, Tier 2 royalty rates
will apply to that Software Title. If the Publisher has chosen a worldwide
billing election, then the Base Royalty is [*] per Table 2. If Publisher has
chosen a regional billing option, the Base Royalty is determined in Table 2 by
the Manufacturing Region. If the Software Title were manufactured in the
European Manufacturing Region, the Base Royalty would be [*] per FPU. If
the Software Title were manufactured in Asian Manufacturing Region, the Base
Royalty would be [*] per FPU.

3.3 Setting the Base Royalty. Publisher shall submit to Microsoft, at
least [*] before placing the fist manufacturing order for a Software Title, a
completed and signed "Royalty Tier Selection Form" in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit 1 for each Sales Territory. The selection indicated in the form will
only be effective once the form has been accepted by Microsoft. If Publisher
does not submit a Royalty Tier Selection Form as required hereunder, the Base
Royalty for such Software Title will default to Tier 1, regardless of the actual
Threshold Price. Except for as provided for under

Title in a Sales Territory is binding for [*] even if the Threshold Price is
reduced following the Software Title's Commercial Release. Microsoft may change

[*], which new fees and royalty rates will become effective [*].
3.4 Unit Discounts. Publisher is eligible for a discount to the Base
Royalty applicable to FPUs manufactured for a particular Sales Territory (a
"Unit Discount") based on the number of Standard FPUs that have been
manufactured for sale in that Sales Territory as described in Table 3 below.

towards a discount on FPUs manufactured for that Sales Territory; there is no
worldwide or cross-territorial aggregation of units. The discount will be
rounded up to the nearest Cent, Yen or hundredth of a Euro. Microsoft may revise
the discount schedule upon written notice to Publisher [*], which revised
discount schedule will become effective [*].

Software Title to which Publisher desires the new Base Royalty to apply, a
completed and signed "Royalty Tier Change Form" in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 2 for each Sales Territory.
4.2 The Royalty Tier Change Form must be received and acknowledged by
Microsoft no sooner than [*] and no later than [*] after the date that the

5. HITS PROGRAMS
5.1 Publisher may elect to participate in certain Platinum or Classic
Hits, Platinum or Classic Family Hits or Super Hits programs (collectively
referred to herein as "Hits Programs") for qualified Software Titles (a "Hit
FPU"). If Publisher elects to participate in a Hits Program, Publisher must
provide Microsoft with a completed and signed Hits Programs Election Form in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit 3 no later than [*] prior to the targeted
Commercial Release of the Hit FPU. If a Software Title meets the applicable
participation criteria in a particular Sales Territory and Microsoft receives
the Hits Programs Election Form on time, Publisher is authorized to manufacture
and distribute Hit FPUs in such Sales Territory and at the Base Royalty rate in
Table 2 of Section 3.2.2 of this Amendment applicable to "Hit FPUs" or "Super
Hit FPUs," as applicable in order for a Software Title to qualify as a Hits FPU
in a Sales Territory, the following conditions, applicable per Hits Program,
must be satisfied:
5.1.1 For all Hits Programs, the Software Title must have been
commercially available as a Standard FPU in the applicable Sales Territory for
at least [*] but not more than [*]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Software
Title may qualify as a Hit FPU in the European or Japan Sales Territory after
[*].
5.1.2 To qualify as a Platinum Family Hit, the Software Title
must (i) have received an "E," or, in the event such rating is officially
adopted by the ESRB, an "E10" rating, from the ESRB and or a "PEG13+" rating in
Europe and/or an equivalent rating in the applicable Sales Territory (to the
extent Software Titles are rated by regulatory boards within the applicable
Sales Territory); and (ii) be character based and/or appeal, as determined by
Microsoft in its sole good faith discretion, to children 12 years of age and
younger.
5.1.3 In any [*] in a Sales Territory, Publisher may not
publish more than [*] Software Titles as part of the Platinum or Classic Hits
Family Program,
5.1.4 To qualify as a "Super Hit," a Software Title must have
been a Hits FPU for at least [*]. The manufacturing requirements are different

must not exceed [*] in the North American Sales Territory, the equivalent of [*]
in local currency for the Asian Sales Territory, [*] in the European Sales
Territory; and the suggested retail price must be less than [*] in the Japan
Sales Territory. The Wholesale Price per Super Hits FPU must not exceed [*] in
the North American Sales Territory, the equivalent of [*] in local currency for
the Asia Sales Territory and [*] in the European Sales Territory.
5.2 All Marketing Materials for a Hit FPU must clearly comply with all
Microsoft branding requirements as may be required in each Sales Territory and
Publisher shall submit all such Marketing Materials to Microsoft for its
approval in accordance with the PLA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Hit FPUs
must comply with the basic branding and other requirements for Marketing
Materials set forth in the Xbox Guide.
5.3 The Hit FPU version must be the same or substantially equivalent to
the Standard FPU version of the Software Title. Publisher may modify or add
additional content or features to the Hit FPU version of the Software Title
(e.g., demos or game play changes) subject to Microsoft's review and approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Publisher
acknowledges that any such modifications or additions may require the Software
Title to be re-Certified at Publisher's expense.
6. Minimum Order Quantities
6.1 Within [*] after the date on which both Microsoft and Publisher
have authorized the Authorized Replicator to begin replication of FPUs for
distribution to a specified Sales Territory, (receipt of both approvals is
referred to as "Release to Manufacture"), Publisher must place orders to
manufacture the minimum order quantities ("MOQs") as described in the Xbox
Guide, which MOQ's may be updated and revised [*] and will be effective starting
[*]. Currently, the MOQs are as follows:
Per Software Title Per Disc
------------------ --------
North American Sales Territory [*] [*]
European Sales Territory [*] [*]
Japan Sales Territory [*] [*]

6.2 For the purposes of this Section, a "Disc" shall mean an FPU that
is signed for use on a certain defined range of Xbox hardware, regardless of the
number of languages or product SKUs contained thereon. The MOQs per Software
Title are cumulative per Sales Territory. For example, if an FPU is released in
both the North American Sales Territory and the European Sales Territory, the
cumulative MOQ per Software Title would be [*]. The MOQ per Software Title and
the MOQ per Disc, however, are not cumulative. For example, a single Disc FPU
released only in the

[*] Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment pursuant
to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
North America Sales Territory will have a total minimum order quantity of [*],
which would cover the [*] MOQ per Software Title and the [*] MOQ per Disc
(rather than [*] which would have been the total minimum order quantity if the
MOQ per Software Title and the MOQ per Disc were cumulative).
6.3 If Publisher fails to place orders to meet any applicable minimum
order quantity within [*] of Release to Manufacture, Publisher shall immediately
pay Microsoft the applicable Base Royalty for the number of FPUs represented by
the difference between the applicable minimum order quantity and the number of
FPUs of the Software Title actually ordered by Publisher.
7. Samples
For each Software Title published under the PLA, as soon as possible following
Microsoft's request and at Publisher's cost, Publisher shall provide Microsoft
with [*] FPUs and accompanying Marketing Materials per Sales Territory in which
the FPU will be released. Such units may be used in marketing, as product
samples, for customer support, testing and for archival purposes. Publisher will
not have to pay a Base Royalty for such samples nor will such samples count
towards the Unit Discount in Section 3 of this Amendment.
8. Demo Versions
If Publisher wishes to distribute a Demo Version, Publisher must obtain
Microsoft's approval and Microsoft may charge a reasonable fee to offset costs
of the Certification. Subject to the terms of the Xbox Guide, Demo Version(s)
may be placed on a single disc, either as a stand-alone or with other Demo
Versions and the suggested price of such units must be FREE or at a suggested
retail price that does not exceed [*] or its equivalent in local currency.
Unless separately addressed in the Xbox Guide, all rights, obligations and
approvals set forth in the PLA as applying to Software Titles shall separately
apply to any Demo Version. No royalties will be payable to Microsoft with
respect to any Demo Versions.
9. BILLING ADDRESSES
Publisher may have up to three "▇▇▇▇ to" addresses for the payment of royalties,
one for the North American Manufacturing Region, one for the European
Manufacturing Region and one for the Asian Manufacturing Region. If Publisher
elects to have a billing address within a European union member country after
[*], Publisher must submit a completed and signed enrollment form with Microsoft
Ireland Operations Ltd. ("MIOL") attached hereto as Exhibit 4 prior to [*]. If
the Publisher does not sign the MIOL enrollment form by [*], then all billing to
any previously established European address will default to Publisher's
"sold-to" address on file with Microsoft. If the Publisher has not signed the
MIOL Enrollment form by [*] and has no address on file with Microsoft that is
not within a European union member country, all manufacturing under the PLA will
cease until a properly executed MIOL enrollment form is received.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be
executed as of the Amendment Effective Date.
