services of any other Person, Licensor shall first obtain the written
consent of Atari, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; Atari hereby acknowledges Transmission Games as the developer of
the Title Platform versions to be delivered by Licensor hereunder. This
consent, however, may be conditioned on a screening interview, on the
execution of an affidavit of non-exposure to third-party trade secrets, or
on other precautions deemed reasonable by Atari, and Atari may limit such
consent to the performance of certain specified
tasks.

in consultation with Licensor and subject to the criteria in the
Specifications.
|
1.9
|
Pre-submission
Testing. Each Deliverable shall be thoroughly tested by Licensor,
prior to delivery to Atari. Delivery thereof to Atari shall
constitute a certification of Licensor’s good faith belief that the
delivered item meets the applicable acceptance criteria under this
Agreement. Atari shall perform quality assurance testing on the
delivered and accepted Beta Deliverable and all Deliverables thereafter,
including testing for all localized SKUs, and Licensor shall promptly
rectify all Program Errors identified via such
testing.

the Title, screen text and fonts, and audio tracks if applicable) into the
Localization languages specified in Exhibit C.
Licensor shall supply to Atari all reference, instruction and other
associated materials, in document and computer readable formats, necessary
to allow Atari perform such translations (the “Localization
Kit”). Such Localizations shall be integrated into the Title by
Licensor for potential Royalties only and without any additional advances
or other fees. The creation of any translation into
Localization languages not specified in Exhibit C
shall be performed by Atari (at its cost), provided that Licensor shall
integrate any such additional Localizations into the Title, and Atari
shall not contract with third parties for any such integration services,
provided that, with respect to Eastern European language Localizations
only, Atari shall have the right at its sole option to contract with third
parties to perform such translation and/or integration services in lieu of
Licensor (the “Independent
Localizations”). In connection with the Independent
Localizations, Licensor shall provide Atari with all Source Materials
necessary for such third party/ies to integrate and/or recompile the
applicable translations in order to create such Eastern European-language
Localizations (the “Integration
Kit”).

development agreement prevents or will prevent direct communications
between Atari and Transmission
Games.

2. Acceptance
2.1
|
Acceptance
Procedure. Licensor will notify Atari, in writing, when it believes
it has completed a Milestone and will, together with such notification,
provide Atari with materials in support of its proposed Milestone
completion. Atari will evaluate the materials submitted by Licensor as
evidence of completion of the Milestone. Atari agrees that when it has
made a finding as to whether Licensor has completed a Milestone in
accordance with the applicable Specifications, it will promptly provide a
written acceptance or rejection (an “Evaluation”)
of the Milestone to Licensor, using the Milestone Evaluation Form as set
forth in Exhibit E. Atari
shall be deemed to have rejected any Milestone for which Atari fails to
provide Licensor an Evaluation within fifteen (15) business days following
Atari’s receipt thereof. If Atari fails to provide such written
evaluation to Licensor within such period, Licensor may provide notice of
a follow-up request to Atari for approval of the applicable Milestone (a
“Follow-Up
Approval Request”). Failure by Atari to give written
approval or disapproval within five (5) business days from the date of a
Follow-Up Approval Request will be deemed approval with respect to the
subject Milestone. Any notice of rejection shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for Atari’s rejection. Upon receipt of a
written notice of rejection, Licensor shall promptly correct the
identified deviations from the Specifications, and each such item shall
again be subject to the acceptance procedure described
herein.
|
2.2
|
Default in
Development. In the event Licensor shall fail to deliver as
required under Section 1 within [***] after the time provided in the
Milestone Schedule, or shall have failed to correct a deviation from the
Specifications within [***] after Atari’s initial notice thereof under
Section 2.1, or within such extended period for performance as may have
become applicable pursuant to clause [a] below, or if Licensor breaches
its obligations with regard to product support under Section 3, then
Atari, at its sole option, and without prejudice to such other legal
rights as it may have hereunder or otherwise,
may:
|
|
[a]
|
extend
the time for Licensor’s performance, in which case the Royalty Reduction
(as defined below) shall apply;
|
|
[b]
|
undertake
completion of the deficient item itself or with the services of any third
party, with the right to use in connection therewith any Source Materials
previously delivered or due to Atari pursuant to this Agreement, and
deduct its fully burdened costs thereof (including without limitation
royalties, if any, paid to others) from any amounts due to Licensor
hereunder; or
|
|
[c]
|
in
the further event of a failure to deliver as required under Section 1
within [***] after the time provided in the Milestone Schedule, upon
notice to Licensor (a “Production
Take-Over Notice”), immediately take over production of the Title,
making all unpaid payments to Transmission Games directly, on Licensor’s
behalf (unless a Licensor Insolvency Event has occurred), in accordance
with Exhibit B,
Schedule 1 for the Title and reducing the corresponding fees due to
Licensor upon approval of the applicable Milestones by the amount of such
payments made directly to Transmission Games (a “Production
Take-Over”). In the event of a Production Take-Over, and
in the further event of a failure to deliver Milestone Eight (Gold Master)
within [***] of the time provided in the Milestone Schedule, then (i) the
fee due to Red Mile upon approval of Milestone Eight shall automatically
be deemed to be reduced by [***] and (ii) royalty rate applicable at such
time (inclusive of any Royalty Reduction) shall be further reduced by
[***].
|
As used
herein, a “Royalty
Reduction’ means an automatic penalty in the form of a reduction of the
royalties otherwise payable to Licensor hereunder in the following
amounts: for a failure to deliver the applicable Milestone within
[***] of the time provided in the Milestone Schedule, a reduction of such
royalties by [***]; for a failure to deliver the applicable Milestone within
[***] of the time provided in the Milestone Schedule, a reduction of such
royalties by [***]; and for a failure to deliver the applicable Milestone within
[***] of the time provided in the Milestone Schedule, a reduction of such
royalties by [***]. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
no Royalty Reduction shall apply in the event that the Gold Master, including
Title versions for all Platforms and all Localizations (other than the Non-EFIGS
Localizations), are delivered to Atari by February 20, 2009.

|
3.2
|
Limited
Warranty. Licensor warrants that during the Term each Deliverable

in writing. In the event that Licensor is unable to deliver to
Atari any such change within ten (10) days, Licensor shall notify Atari in
writing as to the status of such change and its estimated date of
completion. For one (1) year following the expiration of the
Term or earlier termination of this Agreement, Licensor shall provide to
Atari this same limited warranty, provided that Licensor shall not be
obligated to supply with any changes that are required because of changes
to operating systems, system hardware or system software that are released
following such expiration or
termination.
|

rights of paternity or integrity, rights to claim authorship, to object to
any distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or other derogatory
actions in relation to any Deliverables and/or Title, whether or not the
foregoing would be prejudicial to Licensor’s honor or reputation, and any
similar right, existing under judicial or statutory law of any country in
the world, or under any treaty (“Moral
Rights”), regardless of whether such right is denominated or
generally referred to as a moral right. Licensor hereby
irrevocably transfers and assigns to Atari any and all Moral Rights that

forever waives and agrees never to assert any and all Moral Rights it may
have in the Deliverables or Title.

5.2
|
Trademark and
Copyright Notices. Each Deliverable, where applicable,
shall bear a copyright notice and a trademark notice in the name of
Licensor and any other parties with an interest therein. Atari
shall not remove such notice(s) from the Title and shall cause to be
affixed on each unit of the Title manufactured, distributed, or sold under
this Agreement, and on advertising, promotional, and packaging material
with respect thereto, an appropriate credit notice as reasonably necessary
to protect any trademark, copyright or other rights of Licensor in the
Title. The appropriate Licensor notice is as follows:
“(c)[year] [Licensor]. “[Trademark] is a trademark of
[Licensor]”. The year referred to in the copyright notice is the year in
which the particular rendition of the Title was first
published. If reasonably necessary because of space
constraints, Atari may use the following short-form notice “[Property
Name] ®&(c) [Licensor].”
|
5.3
|
Atari’s
Rights. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the
contrary, it is hereby further agreed that Atari shall own the copyright
in any instructions or rules for the Title (except to the extent that the
same were included in the Deliverables) and Exclusive Derivative Products,
and/or unrelated insert or in-pack which may be published, included,
and/or offered for sale in conjunction with the Title; provided, however,
that this shall not be deemed to grant to Atari any right in
the underlying “HEROES OVER EUROPE” property (including,
without limitation, all Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property
Rights with respect thereto) itself. Atari shall also hold the
copyright in any packaging, wrapping, advertising, and/or promotional
material relating to the Title, or in any other written or printed
material created by Atari (or its contractors), which pictures, depicts,
or describes the Title; provided, however, that this shall not be deemed
to grant to Atari any right in the underlying “HEROES OVER EUROPE”
property. It is understood that Atari may place appropriate
copyright and other notices on the Title and such material, including,
without limitation, if applicable, credits for any third-party contractor
of Atari.
|
5.4
|
Offensive
Litigation. Atari shall assist Licensor, to the extent
reasonably necessary, in the procurement of any protection or to protect
any of Licensor's rights to the Title, and Licensor, if it so desires, may
commence or prosecute any claims or suits in its own name and at its sole
cost and expense. Upon the prior written consent of Atari,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, such claim or suit
may be commenced or prosecuted in the name of Atari or with both Atari and
Licensor joined as parties thereto. Any and all sums collected or
recovered in any such suit or suits, whether by decree, judgment,
settlement or otherwise, will belong exclusively to
Licensor. Upon request of Licensor, Atari will execute all
papers, testify on all matters and otherwise cooperate in every way
necessary and desirable for the prosecution of any such action or
proceeding, and Licensor will reimburse Atari for the expenses incurred as
a result of such cooperation. Atari shall notify Licensor in
writing of any infringements or imitations by others of the Licensor’s
property on articles similar to the Title if and when such become known to
Atari. Licensor shall have the sole right to determine whether
or not any action shall be taken on account of such infringements;
provided, however, that if Licensor fails to do so promptly upon request
of Atari, then Atari may institute any such suit or take any action on
account of any such infringements, provided that Atari has obtained the
prior written consent of Licensor to do so, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Should Atari receive
Licensor's consent as aforesaid and institute or prosecute any action or
proceeding against third parties for or by reason of any unlawful
infringement of the rights granted to Atari under this Agreement, such
action or proceeding will be instituted, maintained, and/or prosecuted
solely at the cost and expense of Atari, and any and all sums collected or
recovered in any such suit or suits, whether by decree, judgment,
settlement or otherwise, will belong exclusively to Atari. Upon
request of Atari, Licensor will execute all papers, testify on all matters
and otherwise cooperate in every way necessary and desirable for the
prosecution of any such action or proceeding, and Atari will reimburse
Licensor for the expenses incurred as a result of such
cooperation.
|
5.5
|
Licensor
hereby, on behalf of itself, its employees and its contractors,
irrevocably waives and agrees never to assert against Atari, any and all
moral or “droit moral” rights that Licensor, its employees or its
contractors may have in or with respect to the Specifications,
Deliverables, Title, the Software and Licensor Trademarks, even after
expiration or termination of this Agreement. Licensor acknowledges that
the Title is created for a commercial purpose. Except as
expressly provided otherwise herein, the rights licensed to Atari
hereunder shall give Atari or any third party designated by Atari, the
unlimited right to manufacture,

accessed, used, possessed or known in a manner or for a purpose not
expressly authorized by this Agreement, including, but not limited to
enforcement of confidentiality agreements, commencement and prosecution in
good faith of legal action (alone or with the Disclosing Party), and
reimbursement for all reasonable attorneys’ fees (and all related costs),
costs and expenses incurred by the Disclosing Party to protect its
proprietary rights in the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party
shall take all reasonable steps requested by the Disclosing Party to
prevent the recurrence of any unauthorized duplication, access, use,
possession or knowledge of the Confidential
Information.
|

cooperated with the Disclosing Party) to contest or limit the scope of
such required disclosure (including without limitation application for a
protective order).

reasonable opportunity (and cooperated with the other party) to contest or
limit the scope of such required disclosure (including without limitation
application for a protective order); (ii) to legal counsel; (iii) in

Agreement by giving thirty (30) days prior written
notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will not

agrees that its sole remedy for failure by Atari or its licensees to cure,
or attempt to cure, any breach hereof, including failure to use reasonable

Licensor hereby waives all rights to seek injunctive
relief.

Subject
to Sections 15.1 and 15.2, and in addition to Atari's other termination
rights hereunder and without limiting Atari's rights or remedies at law or
in equity, Atari may upon written notice to Licensor terminate this
Agreement as a result of a material breach of this Agreement by Licensor,
provided that Licensor may cure such breach in fifteen (15) days from the
date said notice is deemed delivered as set forth in Section 20 except for

case termination shall be deemed effective immediately. A

finish the Title, Licensor's ceasing to do business, Licensor's filing for
bankruptcy or otherwise being insolvent, Licensor's failure to have the
Deliverables approved by Atari, and/or Licensor's failure to

such termination. In the event of such termination, Atari shall have no
obligation to pay Licensor any additional installments of the Milestone

approval of a Milestone as set forth herein, then Atari shall honor its
payment obligations for such approved Milestone and in addition shall pay
Licensor the pro-rated amount for the then current
Milestone.
|
14.4
|
Subject
to Sections 15.1 and 15.2, and in addition to Atari's other termination
rights hereunder, and without limiting Atari's rights or remedies at law
or in equity, after approval of the final Deliverables by Atari, any
applicable licensor(s), and any applicable Manufacturers, Atari may
terminate this Agreement at any time for a breach of any of the
representations, warranties, obligations, or indemnifications made, or
agreed to, by Licensor herein, or any material breach of this
Agreement. In the event of such termination, Atari shall (i)
have no obligation to pay Licensor any additional Royalties hereunder,

manager shall be appointed or any distress or execution or other process
shall be levied on or enforced (and not being discharged within 30 days)
over the whole or any part of Licensor's assets, or if Licensor offers to
make or makes any arrangement with or for the benefit of its creditors, or

a resolution for the making of an administration order or to wind up or
dissolve Licensor shall be passed or presented, or if Licensor ceases to
carry on business, or suffers any analogous proceedings under foreign law
(any of the foregoing, a “Licensor
Insolvency Event”), then Atari shall have the right to immediately
terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Licensor. If
this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 14.5, neither this
Agreement nor any right or interest herein shall be deemed an asset in any
insolvency, receivership, bankruptcy arrangement proceedings, and neither
Licensor, its receivers, representatives, trustees, agents,
administrators, successors and/or assigns shall have any right to sell,
exploit or in any way deal in any of the Title or
Deliverables. In the event this Agreement is terminated by
Atari hereunder, any and all Deliverables created by or on behalf of
Licensor hereunder shall be immediately delivered to
Atari.

Rights
in Title and Software upon
Termination
|
15.1
|
In
the event Atari terminates this Agreement for a material breach by
Licensor prior to the delivery of the final Deliverables as set forth in
Section 14 above or in accordance with Section 14.5, Atari may, in its
sole discretion, within sixty (60) days of the notice of termination elect
to retain all rights licensed to it hereunder with respect to the Title,
Software and Content. Licensor shall deliver to Atari all
Source Materials for the Title and provide Atari with reasonable
assistance in completing development of the Title. Atari may
provide the Software and Content to a third party developer for completion
of the Title. In the event Atari elects to have a third party
developer complete the Title, Atari's only payment obligation to Licensor
shall be a pro-rated royalty, and Atari shall only have an obligation to
pay Licensor any such pro-rated royalty, if any, after Atari has recouped
any and all of the Milestone payments paid to Licensor hereunder and all
other development costs paid by Atari in order to complete the
Title. The pro-rated royalty rate shall be computed by
multiplying the royalty rate set forth on Exhibit D by a
fraction the numerator of which is the dollar amount associated with all
completed and approved Milestones and the denominator of which is the
total dollar amount paid by Atari for delivery of the completed Title
(i.e., any and all Milestone payments paid hereunder plus any monies paid
to a third party developer).
|
15.1.1
|
In
the event Atari terminates this Agreement for a material breach by
Licensor after approval of the final Deliverables as set forth in Section

discretion, within sixty (60) days of the notice of termination elect to
retain all rights licensed to it hereunder with respect to the Title(s),

for the Title. In accordance with Section 14.4, Atari may
retain a reasonable estimated amount from royalties hereunder, including,
but not limited to, any royalties earned, but for which Atari has not yet
rendered an accounting, in anticipation of damages
hereunder.

first dollar received from any source, including development dollars, pay
Atari the total amount of the Milestone payments and any other amounts
paid by Atari to Licensor prior to the date of

|
15.3
|
Notwithstanding

Title and Ancillary Products and any extensions hereof and upon any and
all extensions, modifications, renewals and substitutions thereof; and
upon any such resumptions of all such licenses, sublicenses, engagements,
and contracts. Atari shall have the obligation to continue to
pay Licensor per the royalty and accounting provisions of Exhibit B and
the Royalty Addendum hereof. Any license, assignment or similar
agreement entered into by Atari with a third party, or third parties, for
the Ancillary Products shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement for so long as such license agreement remains in full force and
effect.
|
15.4

other derivative products created hereunder, Licensor shall pay Atari an

received by Licensor in connection with the Title or other product
developed hereunder and distributed by Licensor after the

obligations in connection therewith as Atari has hereunder, and Atari
shall have the same audit rights as Licensor hereunder. For the
sake of clarity, Atari shall only be entitled to share in the revenue in
connection with the Title and derivative products created during the Term,

Majeure”),

ROYALTY
ADDENDUM
1. Royalty
Provisions
Subject
to the provisions of this Addendum, Atari shall pay as royalties on the Title
the amounts identified as royalties in the Compensation Schedule (Exhibit D) of this
Agreement.
1.1
|
Advances. Any
payments designated in the Compensation Schedule as advances shall be
fully recoupable against earned royalties, and shall be non-refundable,
except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, including
without limitation in Section 2.2 and 14 of the
Agreement.
|
1.2
|
Backup, Promotional
and Complimentary Copies; Close Outs. No amount shall be credited
or paid hereunder (i) with respect to any receipts from copies of Title
distributed by Atari to existing customers as replacement or corrected
copies, whether provided to such customers under a recall, warranty or
maintenance policy or otherwise; (ii) with respect to any receipts from
copies supplied for promotional or demonstration purposes to the press,
trade, sales representatives, Licensor or potential major accounts; (iii)
with respect to complimentary copies provided to Licensor; (iv) with
respect to Close Out Sales made by Atari or (v) on the sale of any Units
of the Title where the price Atari (or its Affiliate or other third party
distributor) charges its retail customers for such Units is less than ten
dollars ($10.00) for console or ($5.00) for personal computer
(PC).
|
1.3
|
Samples and Locked
Copies. Without limiting the foregoing, it is further
understood and agreed (i) that no royalties shall be paid hereunder with
regard to any “sampler” product that Atari may distribute containing
demonstration subsets of a Title, and (ii) that in the event Atari shall
distribute “key locked” or similar demonstration products containing a
full implementation of a Title which is originally provided in a state
inaccessible to the user, (x) no royalty shall be payable with respect to
such Title unless and until the user agrees to pay to unlock such Title or
otherwise render it accessible, and (y) the Net Receipts with respect to
such Title when so unlocked or otherwise rendered accessible shall be
subject to deduction of any amount which thereby accrues to Atari’s
dealers or distributors as a result
thereof.
|
1.4
|
Royalties After
Cancellation by Atari. Should Atari elect to use any of Licensor’s
work product created pursuant to this Agreement in a product released
subsequent to cancellation of this Agreement under Section 14.1 of this
Agreement, Licensor shall be entitled to such reduced royalties, as
determined by Atari in good faith, based upon the proportion of Licensor’s
work product used in Atari’s final release of such
product.
|
1.5
|
Special Accounting
Rules.
|
1.5.1 International
Sales.
|
[1]
|
For
sales outside the United States (the “International
Territory”) for which Licensor is entitled to a royalty based on a
percentage of the sale price, Atari will make payment to Licensor in U.S.
Dollars based upon the exchange rate in effect on the day Atari receives
the receipts of the sale.
|
|
[2]
|
If
the payment of royalties to Licensor for sales in any country of the
International Territory is blocked or subject to restrictions by
governmental authorities, such royalties may either be held in the
blocking or restricting country (if permitted by local regulations) or may
be removed from such country and paid to Licensor, subject to whatever
restrictions, limitations and/or taxes may be imposed by the government of
such country. In no event shall Atari be responsible to protect the value
of sums against currency fluctuation, effects of inflation, or other
economic or monetary adjustment.
|
|
[3]
|
If
the government of a country in the International Territory requires a
reduction in the royalty rate set forth in this Agreement as a condition
of approving the payment of royalties to Licensor, Licensor agrees to
reduce such rate for that country so as to provide for the maximum royalty
payment allowed by such government.
|
|
[4]
|
When
deemed reasonably necessary by Atari, Licensor shall enter into separate
agreements with subsidiary, affiliated or controlled companies of Atari
for the purpose of facilitating the payment of
royalties.

1.5.2
|
Atari Bundled
Transactions. If Atari sells or licenses a Title containing the
Deliverables developed under this Agreement with other works or products,
supplied by Atari, in a package or on a single medium for a single price
(“Bundled”),
any royalties due to Licensor based upon Net Receipts of the Title, for
each Title so sold or licensed shall be computed based on Atari’s Net
Receipts for the entire package or medium, adjusted as follows. The
royalties computed based upon Net Receipts for such package or medium
shall be multiplied by the then current suggested retail price of the
Title, and the result shall then be divided by the sum of the then current
suggested retail prices of all the works and products, including the
Title, that Atari includes in such package or medium. Atari shall
establish a reasonable estimate of the suggested retail price for any
Bundled work for which there is no prevailing suggested retail price and
use that value as the suggested retail price of the work for the purposes
of the royalty calculation defined in this Section. In establishing a
reasonable estimate of the suggested retail price for works that have no
prevailing suggested retail price, Atari shall assure that such estimate
is reasonably related to the value or the sales potential of the work and
is consistent with suggested retail prices customarily charged in the
industry.
|
1.6
|
Distribution by Other
Means. In the event any Title shall be distributed in any medium or
by any means for which the calculation of royalties is not provided for
hereunder, but for which royalties are not excluded hereunder, the parties
hereto shall be obligated to negotiate with each other in good faith as to
a fair and reasonable royalty which shall be applicable with respect
thereto, which royalty shall be commensurate with the royalty rates
otherwise provided hereunder with respect to such Title, taking into
account any differences in costs and revenues attributable to the change
in media or distribution means.
|
2. Accounting
and Audit
2.1
|
Quarterly
Accounting. Reporting and payment with respect to royalties shall
be on a calendar quarterly basis. Prior to payment, Atari shall (i) deduct
from royalties any taxes, duties or other amounts required by law to be
withheld by Atari; (ii) deduct or credit such amount, if any, as shall be
necessary to maintain a reserve for returns equal to thirty percent (30%)
of the Average Quarterly Royalty (such reserve to be adjusted as soon as
practicable and at least on a twelve (12) month rolling basis and finally
liquidated when the last royalty payment hereunder is made); (iii) recoup
from the royalty any amounts designated as advances against royalties
which are then recoupable under the terms of such designation; and (iv)
deduct any additional or other amounts expressly deductible or
withholdable from royalties hereunder. Within sixty (60) days after the
close of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first calendar quarter
in which any royalties are due hereunder, Atari shall provide Licensor
with a written statement showing the Gross Sales and Net Receipts for such
calendar quarter, a calculation of the royalties payable to Licensor in
respect of such period. Each such statement shall be accompanied by
payment of the amount of royalties due. Licensor shall be deemed to have
consented to all accountings rendered by Atari and each such statement of
accounting shall be conclusive, final and binding, unless specific
objection in writing, stating the basis thereof, is given by Licensor to
Atari within one (1) year after the date it was rendered. No claim
concerning a statement or other account rendered by Atari may be made
unless asserted within one (1) year after the date of Atari’s notice
rejecting such objection or, if Atari fails to give such notice of
rejection, within one (1) year after the sixtieth (60th) day following
Licensor’s written objection.
|
2.2
|
Examination
Rights. Licensor shall have the right, to be exercised not more
than once per calendar year and upon not less than ten (10) business days
prior written notice to Atari, through an independent public accounting
firm reasonably acceptable to Atari, to examine the books, records and
accounts of Atari relating to Atari’s sales of the Title and Collateral
Merchandise, for the purposes of verifying Atari’s compliance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. All information made
available to Licensor’s representative in any such examination shall be
and be treated as Confidential Information, and prior to any such
examination, Licensor’s representative shall enter into an appropriate
confidentiality agreement with Atari. Each such examination
shall not exceed three (3) days in duration and shall be conducted during
regular business hours, in such manner as not to interfere unduly with the
business of Atari. Licensor’s representative shall report to
Licensor solely whether Licensor has been overpaid, underpaid or properly
paid for the period subject to examination. The expenses of
examination pursuant to this Addendum Section 2.2 shall be borne by

Licensor;
provided, however, that Atari shall be charged for the expense of any such
examination that establishes an underpayment of Licensor in excess of ten
percent (10%) of the amount due for the period subject to
examination. In the event that such examination reveals any
overpayment by Atari, Licensor shall refund such overpayment within thirty
(30) days following Licensor’s receipt of such examination
results.
|
2.3
|
Payment of Discovered
Underpayment. With respect to any claim by Licensor that
additional monies are payable by Atari to Licensor pursuant to this
Agreement based upon such an examination, Atari shall not be deemed in
breach of this Agreement if, within thirty (30) calendar days after
Atari’s receipt of any written claim that additional monies are due and
payable, together with a copy of the audit report prepared in connection
with such audit, Atari shall either: (i) pay such additional monies so
claimed by Licensor; or (ii) contest such claim, in whole or in part, by
written notice sent to Licensor.
|
2.4
|
Audit Prior to Dispute
Resolution. Licensor further agrees that as a condition
to proceeding with any action or adjudication concerning Atari’s failure
to pay Compensation under this Agreement, Licensor shall first be
obligated to conduct an examination in accordance with Section 2.2 of this
Addendum.
|
