5.8 Guidelines Requirement. The licenses granted to Publisher are expressly conditioned on Publisher’s compliance with all provisions of the SCE Company’s Guidelines, as and when published or within a commercially reasonable time following its receipt of a publication expressly referencing such provisions, and any and all such provisions are incorporated herein by this reference.  To the extent that the Guidelines change with respect to any Licensed Product materials that Publisher submits to the SCE Company under Section 6.1, Publisher shall only be required to implement any such revised Guidelines in subsequent orders of corresponding Disc Product or subsequent publications of corresponding Online Product. Publisher shall not be required to recall or destroy previously manufactured Disc Products, unless such Disc Products do not comply with the original standards, requirements and conditions set forth in the Guidelines or unless explicitly required to do so in writing by the SCE Company.

6.3 Compatibility of Licensed Products with Peripherals.  Publisher shall be solely responsible for functionality and operational compatibility of its Licensed Products with any third-party peripherals (e.g., controllers, memory storage devices, etc.). The SCE Company shall have no responsibility to test or otherwise evaluate the compatibility of Publisher’s Licensed Products with any third-party peripherals.  The SCE Company shall not be held responsible for any actual, incidental or consequential damages that may result from any use or inability to use any third-party peripherals with any Licensed Products or the System.  If

9

the SCE Company elects, at its sole discretion, to test or otherwise evaluate the compatibility of Publisher’s Licensed Products with any third-party peripheral device then, (i) any such testing or evaluation shall not obligate the SCE Company to test or evaluate any other third-party peripherals; (ii) any such testing or evaluation shall not shift to the SCE Company any responsibility to ensure or assess the functionality or compatibility of any third-party peripheral or require the SCE Company to report any third-party peripheral incompatibilities; and (iii) Publisher shall provide the SCE Company, upon request and at no additional cost or expense to the SCE Company, with a reasonable number of samples of any such third-party peripheral products for testing and review in a timely manner.  In the event that any Licensed Product fails to perform to the SCE Company’s satisfaction with any third-party peripheral that it is intended to support, the SCE Company shall have the right to require that Publisher modify or remove such portions of the Executable Software as are intended to support the affected third-party peripheral.

6.4 Publisher’s Additional Quality Assurance Obligations. If at any time or times subsequent to the approval of any part of a Licensed Product, the SCE Company identifies any material defects (such materiality to be determined by the SCE Company in its sole discretion) with respect to the Licensed Product, or in the event that the SCE Company identifies any improper use of its Licensed Trademarks or the SCE Materials, or any material defects or improper use are brought to the attention of the SCE Company, Publisher shall, at no cost to the SCE Company, promptly correct any such material defects, or improper use, to the SCE Company’s commercially reasonable satisfaction, which may include, in the SCE Company’s judgment, the recall and re-release of Units of the affected Disc Product or publication of an update, upgrade or technical fix to an Online Product.  In the event any Licensed Products create any risk of loss or damage to any property or injury to any person, Publisher shall immediately take effective steps, at Publisher’s sole liability and expense, to recall and remove such Licensed Products from any affected channels of distribution; provided, however, that if Publisher is not acting as the distributor or seller for the Licensed Products, its obligation shall be to use its best efforts to arrange removal of all affected Licensed Products from the relevant distribution channels. Publisher shall provide all end-user support for Licensed Products.  Publisher and the SCE Group Company may enter into a separate agreement to have Publisher provide all end-user support for Online Gameplay of Publisher’s Licensed Products that is provided through the PlayStation®Network.  The SCE Company expressly disclaims any obligations or liability to provide end-user support with respect to Licensed Products.

15.6     Extension of this Agreement; Termination Without Prejudice.  The SCE

25

Company shall be under no obligation to extend this Agreement notwithstanding any actions taken by either of the parties prior to the expiration of this Agreement.  Upon the expiration of this Agreement, neither party shall be liable to the other for any damages (whether direct, indirect, consequential or incidental, and including any expenditures, loss of profits or prospective profits) sustained or arising out of or alleged to have been sustained or to have arisen out of such expiration.  The expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any rights or remedies which one party may otherwise have against the other party, and shall not excuse either party from liability with respect to any events occurring prior to expiration or the effective date of termination.

16.2     Audit Provisions.  Publisher shall keep full, complete, and accurate books of accounts and records covering all transactions relating to this Agreement.  Publisher shall preserve such books of accounts, records, documents, and materials for a period of [*] after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.  Acceptance by the SCE Company of any accounting statement, purchase order, or payment hereunder will not preclude the SCE Company from challenging or questioning the accuracy thereof at a later time. In the event that the SCE Company reasonably believes that the pricing information provided by Publisher with respect to any Licensed Product is not accurate, the SCE Company shall be entitled to request additional documentation from Publisher to support the pricing information provided for such Licensed Product. In addition, during the Term and for a period of [*] thereafter and upon the giving of reasonable prior written notice to Publisher, at the SCE Company’s expense, representatives of the SCE Company shall be given access to, and the right to inspect, audit, and make copies and summaries of and take extracts from, such portions of all books and records of Publisher, and Publisher’s affiliates and branch offices, as pertain to the Licensed Products and any payments due or credits received hereunder. Any such audit shall take place during normal business hours and shall, at the SCE Company’s sole election, be conducted either by an independent certified accountant or by an appropriately professionally qualified SCE Company employee.  In the event that such inspection reveals any under-reporting of any payment due to the SCE Company, Publisher shall immediately pay the SCE Company such amount.  In the event that any audit conducted by the SCE Company reveals that Publisher has under-reported any payment due to the SCE Company hereunder by [*] or more for the relevant audit period, then in addition to the payment of the appropriate amount due to the SCE Company, Publisher shall reimburse the SCE Company for all reasonable audit costs for that audit and any and all collection costs to recover any unpaid amounts.

16.3     Force Majeure.  Neither the SCE Company nor Publisher shall be liable for any loss or damage or be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement if its failure to perform or failure to cure any of its obligations under this Agreement results from any event or circumstance beyond its reasonable control, including any natural disaster, fire, flood, earthquake or other Act of God; shortage of equipment, materials, supplies or transportation facilities; strike or other industrial dispute; war or rebellion; shutdown or delay in power, telephone or other essential service due to the

26

*      Confidential portion omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

failure of computer or communications equipment or otherwise; provided, however, that the party interfered with gives the other party written notice thereof promptly, and, in any event, within fifteen (15) business days of discovery of any such Force Majeure condition. If notice of the existence of any Force Majeure condition is provided within such period, the time for performance or cure shall be extended for a period equal to the duration of the Force Majeure event or circumstance described in such notice, except that any such cause shall not excuse the payment of any sums owed to the SCE Company prior to, during or after the occurrence of any such Force Majeure condition.  In the event that the Force Majeure condition continues for more than 60 days, the SCE Company may terminate this Agreement for cause by providing written notice to Publisher to such effect.

16.4     No Agency, Partnership or Joint Venture.  The relationship between the SCE Company and Publisher, respectively, is that of licensor and licensee.  Both parties are independent contractors and neither party is the legal representative, agent, joint venturer, partner or employee of the other party for any purpose whatsoever. Neither party has any right or authority to assume or create any obligations of any kind or to make any representation or warranty on behalf of the other party, whether express or implied, or to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever.

16.5     Assignment. The SCE Company has entered into this Agreement based upon the particular reputation, capabilities and experience of Publisher and its officers, directors and employees.  Except as provided in this Agreement, Publisher may not assign, sublicense, subcontract, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder, nor delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations hereunder, to any third party unless the prior written consent of the SCE Company shall first be obtained. Any attempted or purported assignment, delegation or other such transfer, directly or indirectly, without the required consent of the SCE Company shall be void and a material breach of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (other than in connection with any of the events referenced in Section 14.2(iv).)  The SCE Company shall have the right to assign any and all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate(s) or to any company in the Sony family group of companies.

16.6     Non-solicitation.  Neither Publisher nor any of its affilates, by itself, its officers, employees or agents, or indirectly, shall during the Term, induce or seek to induce, on an individually targeted basis, the employment or the engagement of the services of, any employee of the SCE Company or any of its Affiliates, whose services are (a) specifically engaged in product development or directly related functions or (b) otherwise reasonably deemed by his or her employer to be of material importance to the protection of its legitimate business interests, and (c) with whom Publisher or any of its affiliates shall have had contact or dealings during the Term. The foregoing provisions shall continue to apply for a period of 12 months after this Agreement expires or is terminated.

16.7     Compliance with Applicable Laws.  The parties shall at all times comply with all applicable laws and regulations and all conventions and treaties to which their countries are a party or relating to or in any way affecting this Agreement and the performance by the parties of this Agreement, including the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and all other laws and regulations relating to the gathering, handling and dissemination of all data from or concerning end users of Online Products. Each party, at its own expense, shall negotiate and obtain any approval, license or permit required in the performance of its obligations, and shall declare, record or take such steps to render this Agreement binding, including the recording of this Agreement with any appropriate governmental authorities (if required).

16.8     Legal Costs and Expenses.  In the event it is necessary for either party to retain the services of a lawyer to enforce the provisions of

27

this Agreement or to file or defend any action arising out of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity, to recover from the other party its reasonable fees for lawyers and expert witnesses, plus such court costs and expenses as may be fixed by any court of competent jurisdiction. The term “prevailing party” for the purposes of this Section shall include a defendant who has by motion, judgment, verdict or dismissal by the court, successfully defended against any claim that has been asserted against it.

16.9     Remedies. Unless expressly set forth to the contrary, either party’s election of any remedies provided for in this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other remedies at law or equity, and all such remedies shall be deemed to be cumulative. Any breach of Sections 2, 3, 5, 6, 7.1 – 7.7, 13 or 15 of this Agreement would cause significant and irreparable harm to the SCE Company, the extent of which would be difficult to ascertain and for which damages might not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies, including damages to which the SCE Company may be entitled, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Publisher, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or permitted consultants or subcontractors, of any such Section or Sections of this Agreement, the SCE Company shall be entitled to the immediate issuance without bond or other security, of ex parte equitable relief, including injunctive relief, or, if a bond is required under applicable law, on the posting of a bond in an amount not to exceed USD [*], enjoining any breach or threatened breach of any or all of such provisions.  In addition, if Publisher fails to comply with any of its obligations as set forth herein, the SCE Company shall be entitled to an accounting and repayment of all forms of compensation, commissions, remuneration or benefits which Publisher directly or indirectly realizes as a result of or arising in connection with any such failure to comply.  Such remedy shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any injunctive relief or other remedies to which the SCE Company may be entitled under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity.

16.10  Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement or portion thereof is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision or portion shall be enforced to the extent possible consistent with the stated intention of the parties, or, if incapable of such enforcement, shall be deemed to be deleted from this Agreement, while the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and remain in effect according to its stated terms and conditions.

16.11  Sections Surviving Expiration or Termination.  The following Sections shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason: 5, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.10, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14.5, 15 and 16 and any terms in any Regional Rider that are expressly designated as surviving termination.

16.12  Waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.  Any waiver by either party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall such waiver operate or be construed as a waiver of such provision respecting any future event or circumstance.

16.13  Modification and Amendment. The SCE Company reserves the right, at any time upon reasonable notice to Publisher, to amend the relevant provisions of this Agreement or the Guidelines, to take account of or in response to any decision, order, or objection of any court or governmental or other competition authority of competent jurisdiction, or any statutory or similar measures that give effect to any such decision (from which this Agreement and the Guidelines are not exempt) or to reflect any undertaking by the SCE Company to any such authority.  Any such amendment shall be of

28

*      Confidential portion omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

prospective application only and shall not be applied to any Licensed Products submitted to the SCE Company pursuant to Section 6 prior to the date of the SCE Company’s notice of amendment.  In the event that Publisher is unwilling to accept any such amendment, then Publisher shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the SCE Company no more than 90 days following the date of the SCE Company’s notice of amendment.  The provisions of Section 15.3 shall come into effect upon any such termination by Publisher. Subject to the remainder of this Section 16.13 and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both of the parties.

16.14  Interpretation. The section headings used in this Agreement are intended primarily for reference and shall not by themselves determine the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any portion hereof.  Any reference to section numbers are to the sections of this Agreement.  Any reference to persons includes natural persons as well as organizations, including firms, partnerships, companies and corporations.  Any phrase introduced by the terms “including,” “include,” “in particular,” or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the category preceding those terms.

16.15  Integration.  This Agreement, together with the Guidelines, constitutes the entire agreement between the SCE Company and Publisher and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, representations, understandings and communications between the SCE Company and Publisher, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including any PlayStation 3 Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement between the SCE Company and Publisher.  Publisher is not relying upon any statement, representation, warranty or understanding, whether negligently or innocently made, of any person other than as expressly set out in this Agreement.

16.16  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

16.17  Construction.  This Agreement shall be fairly interpreted in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or against either of the parties.

31

*      Confidential portion omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Where the Publisher has a direct distribution presence in any country, “Price to Trade” means Publisher’s average net price to trade weighted by revenue across those countries within the Territory where Publisher has a direct distribution presence. Price is defined as gross invoice value to retail net of on-invoice trade margins and net of volume rebates properly attributable to sales of Units, but prior to any credit, deduction, or rebate for co-op advertising or other marketing or merchandising support. Allowances, credits or discounts for returns, price protection and prompt payment are specifically excluded. Barter, or other offsets, are not permissible as deductions.

A Publisher shall be deemed to have a direct distribution presence in any country where [*]% or more of Publisher’s Unit turnover is transacted direct by either Publisher or Publisher’s wholly owned subsidiaries with retail customers, and the trade price in each case is the price to retail.

Where the Publisher has an indirect distribution presence in any country, “Price to Trade” means Publisher’s average net price to trade weighted by revenue across those countries within the Territory where Publisher has an indirect distribution presence, [*]. Price is defined as gross invoice value to retail (where Publisher makes any sales direct to retail in a country where it has an indirect distribution presence) and/or distributor (as applicable) net of on-invoice trade margins and net of volume rebates properly attributable to sales of Units, but prior to any credit, deduction, or rebate for co-op advertising or other marketing or merchandising support, divided by [*]. Where Publisher does not have responsibility for marketing costs, then an agreed uplift to “Price to Trade” for the marketing cost is to be agreed with SCEE and added. Allowances, credits or discounts for returns, price protection and prompt payment are specifically excluded. Barter, or other offsets, are not permissible as deductions.

A Publisher shall be deemed to have an indirect distribution presence in any country where [*]% or more of Publisher’s Unit turnover is transacted via non-wholly owned or third party distributors, and the trade price in each case is the Publisher’s price to its distributor. Accordingly, for the purpose of computing the Platform Charge, Publisher’s Price to Trade for indirect distribution shall be [*].

The Platform Charge is calculated, for each Disc Product, in each year of the Term (for the period 1 April to 31 March) by reference to Publisher’s average net weighted Price to Trade as at day one launch of the relevant Disc Product. For the first year in which Units of a particular Disc Product are sold, the Price to Trade calculation will be made by reference to the Publisher’s projected day one prices to trade and annual sales to trade for the relevant Disc Product For each subsequent year (for the period 1 April to 31 March), Price to Trade will be calculated in accordance with Publisher’s actual day one prices to trade and actual sales to trade in the prior annual period.

Where the SCE Company grants consent to bundling Units pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Global Terms, then any Units incorporated into any such bundle shall be excluded from both the units and the Price to Trade calculations detailed above.

The Price to Trade for each Disc Product shall be independently verified on signature of this Agreement and thereafter on an annual basis (on, or as soon as possible after, 1 April in each year in which Units of the Disc Product are sold) for the purpose of calculating the correct Platform Charge.

The base currency for the Platform Charge is the Euro, based on revenue-weighted averages of all relevant currencies in the Territory.

currency has moved against the Euro by more than [*] from the January 31 base rate, the base rate will reset from the first of the following quarter.

The exercise of agreeing Publisher’s calculation for the Platform Charge will be independently conducted.

There will be no retrospective adjustment of Platform Charges, notwithstanding SCEE’s right to audit under the Global Terms.

9.2                 The Platform Charge assumes a standard 1-disc product and covers mastering, disc, 4-colour disc label, standard box and automated assembly of all components, but excludes the cost of Printed Materials other than disc label.  Platform Charge is €[*]/unit for publisher promotional discs. Publisher promotional discs will have a standard 4-colour disc label and be supplied in a jewel case (included in Platform Charge). An inlay may be provided as Printed Materials. The charge for manual insertion of inlays for promotional discs shall be as individually quoted in each case. Shrink Wrap is available as an option subject to incremental charges (in addition to the otherwise applicable Platform Charge specified above) of €[*]/unit (or as individually quoted in each case for products in non-standard packaging). The Platform Charge and minimum order and reorder quantities for other “non-standard” products and/or production processes (subject to availability) shall be as individually quoted in each case. Further details relating to the Platform Charge, including minimum order quantities, will be specified in Guidelines.

9.3                 Migration. Subject to all the terms and conditions of this paragraph 9.3, from 1 September 2008, Publisher may opt to migrate the Price to Trade of a particular Disc Product to any nominated Price to Trade for the purposes of calculating the Platform Charge for the relevant Units of such Disc Product under this paragraph 9. The option permits only a single new nominated Price to Trade in respect of each Disc Product and may only take effect nine months after submission of the first order for the relevant Units. For the purposes of calculating the Platform Charge only, the nominated new Price to Trade is deemed to be no lower than €[*]. There is no requirement for Publisher to migrate the Price to Trade in every country in which it sells Units for the relevant Disc Product, or to do so at the same time, subject to SCEE’s prior approval in each case and to any conditions imposed by SCEE from time to time in respect of such arrangements.

9.4                 Platinum. From 1 August 2008, Units of a particular Disc Product may carry Platinum branding (as specified in the Guidelines) provided that publisher has ordered more than [*] Units of the relevant Disc Product, the original Price to Trade for the Disc Product was in excess of €[*], and that Publisher has opted to migrate the Price to Trade for that Disc Product, in accordance with paragraph 9.3 of this Rider, to a sum not exceeding €[*]. SCEE reserves the right to change the qualifying criteria for Platinum branding from time to time.

9.5                 In addition to the Platform Charge, Publisher shall also pay to SCEE:

9.5.1                     Indirect Income. [*] of all direct or indirect revenue, income or other monetary value earned, recognized or otherwise derived from Licensed Products, including in connection with the online distribution and Online Gameplay of Licensed Products, and all websites or networks on which they are published or may be played, including revenue sharing or advertising revenue; and

9.5.2                     Publishing off PLAYSTATION Network. Where SCEE consents, pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Global Terms, to Publisher distributing Online Products, Online Gameplay or any services associated with Online Gameplay other than over the PlayStation®Network, Publisher shall also pay to SCEE [*] of all direct or indirect revenue, income or other monetary value earned, recognized or otherwise derived from any such distribution of Online Products, Online Gameplay or services associated with Online Gameplay, including one-off payments and subscription income (comprising total value of receipts from subscriptions and the total value of retail sales of vouchers for Online Gameplay).

Publisher shall provide SCEE with reports of the gross revenues actually received by Publisher (or otherwise credited to its benefit), and shall make all payments due to SCEE, pursuant to this paragraph 9.3, in accordance with the Guidelines or as otherwise notified to Publisher. SCEE shall have the right to adopt and implement online revenue accounting verification mechanisms at its sole discretion.

9.6                 The Platform Charge for products developed utilising SCE Materials and/or SCE Intellectual Property Rights and/or, subject to Council Directive 91/250/EEC (“the Directive”), SCE Confidential Information, but manufactured in reliance on Article 6 of the Directive, 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 would otherwise have been deducted from SCEE’s receipts from the Designated Manufacturing Facility (“the Article 6 Platform Charge”). If Publisher has products so manufactured in reliance on Article 6 of the Directive, then Publisher shall furnish SCEE, within 28 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 this Agreement, and upon termination by SCEE for such cause, the provisions of Section 15.2 of the Global Terms shall come into effect. SCEE shall upon reasonable written request provide Publisher with details of the aforementioned costs of raw materials and production services if Publisher has legitimately exercised its rights under Article 6 of the Directive 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.

9.7                 No claim for credit due to shortage of Disc Products as delivered to carrier will be allowed unless it is made within four working days from the date of receipt at Publisher’s receiving destination.

9.8                 If Publisher fails to pay any amount payable by it under this Agreement, SCEE may charge Publisher interest on the overdue amount. Publisher shall pay the interest immediately on demand, from the due date up to the date of actual payment, after as well as before judgment, at the rate of [*] per annum above the base rate for the time being of National Westminster Bank Plc.
