10. INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 LICENSEE’s Indemnification. LICENSEE shall indemnify and hold harmless NINTENDO (and any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, licensors, suppliers, officers, directors, employees or agents) from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and any expenses incurred in the settlement or avoidance of any such claim, that result from or are in connection with:

(a) a breach of any of the provisions, representations or warranties undertaken by LICENSEE in this Agreement,

(b) any infringement of a third party’s Proprietary Rights as a result of the design, development advertising, marketing, sale or use of the Licensed Products or the Marketing Materials,

(c) any claims alleging a defect, failure to warn, bodily injury (including death) or other personal or property damage arising out of, or in connection with the design, development, advertising, marketing, sale or use of any of the Licensed Products, and

(d) any applicable civil or criminal actions relating to the design. development, advertising, marketing, sale or use of the Licensed Products or the Marketing Materials.

NINTENDO and LICENSEE shall give prompt Notice to the other of any indemnified claim under this Section 10.1. With respect to any third party claim subject to this indemnity clause, LICENSEE, as indemnifying party, shall have the right to select counsel and to control the defense and/or settlement thereof. NINTENDO may, at its own expense, participate in such action or proceeding with counsel of its own choice. LICENSEE shall not enter into any settlement of any such claim in which (i) NINTENDO has been named as a party, or (ii) claims relating to the Intellectual

Property Rights have been asserted, without NINTENDO’s prior written consent. NINTENDO shall provide reasonable assistance to LICENSEE in its defense of any such claim.

10.2 LICENSEE’s Insurance. LICENSEE shall, at its own expense, obtain a commercial general liability insurance policy (including coverage for advertising injury and product liability claims) from an insurance company. Such policy of insurance shall be in an amount of not less than the equivalent of [***] on a per occurrence basis (not claims made) and shall provide for adequate protection against any suits, claims, loss or damage arising out of or relating to the Licensed Products. Such policy shall name NINTENDO as an additional insured and shall specify that it may not be canceled without thirty (30) days prior written Notice to NINTENDO. A Certificate of Insurance shall be provided to NINTENDO not later than the date of the initial order of Licensed Products under this Agreement or within 60 days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, whatever date occurs later. If LICENSEE fails to provide NINTENDO with such Certificate of Insurance or fails to maintain such insurance at any time during the Term and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, NINTENDO, in its sole discretion may: (a) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.2 herein; or (b) secure comparable insurance for the benefit of NINTENDO only, and not for LICENSEE, at LICENSEE’s expense.

10.3 Suspension of Production. In the event NINTENDO deems itself at risk with respect to any claim, action or proceeding under this Section 10, NINTENDO may, at its sole option, suspend production, delivery or order acceptance for any Licensed Products, in whole or in part, pending resolution of such claim, action or proceeding.

11. PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

11.1 Joint Actions Against Infringers. LICENSEE and NINTENDO may agree to jointly pursue cases of infringement involving the Licensed Products, as such Licensed Products will contain Proprietary Rights owned by each of them. Unless the parties otherwise agree, or unless the recovery is expressly allocated between them by the court, in the event of such an action, any recovery shall be used first to reimburse LICENSEE and NINTENDO for their respective reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in bringing such action, pro rata, and any remaining recovery shall be distributed to LICENSEE and NINTENDO, pro rata, based upon the fees and costs incurred in bringing such action.

11.2 Actions by LICENSEE. LICENSEE, without the consent of NINTENDO, may bring any action or proceeding relating to an infringement or potential infringement of LICENSEE’s Proprietary Rights in the Licensed Products. LICENSEE shall make reasonable efforts to inform NINTENDO of such actions in a timely manner. LICENSEE will have the right to retain all proceeds it may derive from any recovery in connection with such actions.

11.3 Actions by NINTENDO. NINTENDO, without the consent of LICENSEE, may bring any action or proceeding relating to an infringement or potential infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights. NINTENDO shall make reasonable efforts to inform LICENSEE of such actions in a timely manner. NINTENDO will have the right to retain all proceeds it may derive from any recovery in connection with such actions.

13.7 No Further Use of the Intellectual Property Rights.

Annex A - Guidelines on Ethical Content

Annex A

Guidelines on Ethical Content

The following Guidelines on Ethical Content are presented for assistance in the development of Games by defining the types of the theme inconsistent with NINTENDO’s corporate philosophy. Exceptions may be made when necessary to maintain the integrity of the Game or the Game’s theme. Games shall not:

(a) contain sexually explicit content including but not limited to nudity, rape, sexual intercourse and sexual touching; for instance, NINTENDO does not allow bare-breasted women in Games, however, mild displays of affection such as kissing or hugging are acceptable;

(b) contain language or depictions which specifically denigrate members of any race, gender, ethnicity, religion or political group;

(d) depict verbal or physical spousal or child abuse;

(e) permit racial, gender, ethnic, religious or political stereotypes; for example. religious symbols such as crosses will be acceptable when fitting into the theme of the Game and not promoting a specific religious denomination;

(f) use profanity, obscenity or incorporate language or gestures that are offensive by prevailing public standards and tastes; and

(g) promote the use of illegal drugs, smoking materials, tobacco and/or alcohol; for example, NINTENDO does not allow gratuitous beer or cigarette advertisement anywhere in a Game; however, Sherlock Xxxxxx smoking a pipe would be acceptable as it fits the theme of the Game.
