3.	Conditional License Grant. Subject to the terms of this GDPA, SIE grants to Publisher, for the Term (subject to the additional periods contemplated in Section 22) and throughout the Territory, a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except in accordance with Section 25.5) license, without the right to sublicense (except as specifically provided in this GDPA), as follows:


3.1	to use the SIE Materials solely to develop and test PlayStation Compatible Products;


3.2	to publish, distribute, supply, sell, rent, market, advertise and promote Digitally Delivered Products to end-users, through each applicable SIE Company (or its nominated Affiliate) through PSN, and to provide PlayStation Compatible Products to other Licensed Publishers for exploitation under a Licensed Publisher Agreement;


3.3	where Publisher has exercised its right to distribute Digitally Delivered Products through PSN under Section 3.2 (or where the requirement of such exercise is expressly waived by the applicable SIE Company), to have the equivalent Physical Media Products manufactured by Designated Manufacturing Facilities according to those facilities’ terms;


3.4	to publish, distribute, supply, sell, market, advertise and promote Physical Media Products directly to end-users or to third parties for distribution to end-users;


3.5	to use the Licensed Trademarks in connection with the manufacturing, packaging, marketing, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of Licensed Products; and


3.6	to sublicense end-users the right to use Licensed Products for personal, noncommercial purposes in conjunction with the applicable Systems only.

Compliance with Guidelines. Publisher will comply, throughout the Term, with this GDPA’s terms, with all Guidelines applicable in the relevant Territories, and with all technical specifications that any Designated Manufacturing Facility issues to all relevant Licensed Publishers. Subject to the remainder of this Section 4, SIE may remove any Digitally Delivered Product from PSN (in whole or in part) that does not materially conform to the Guidelines, notwithstanding any approval given to such product pursuant to Section 6.3, provided, however, that SIE will provide Publisher with notice no later than concurrently with removal of any Digitally Delivered Product and, in any event, consistent with the amount of notice provided to other Licensed Publishers. Publisher shall be given reasonable notice of modification or additions to the Guidelines. To the extent that Guidelines change (i) after any applicable PlayStation Compatible Product or related materials are approved by SIE pursuant to Section 6.3, to the extent implementation of such revised Guidelines applies to all Licensed Publishers, Publisher is required to implement any such revised Guidelines only in subsequent orders, patches or re-releases of the relevant Physical Media Products, or subsequent publications of relevant Digitally Delivered Products or other PlayStation Compatible Products (as applicable), unless otherwise expressly required by SIE to safeguard System security or to comply with a material change to applicable law or an applicable government order, or (ii) during development of any PlayStation Compatible Product, to the extent implementation of such revised Guidelines applies to all relevant Licensed Publishers, Publisher shall implement any such revised Guidelines in such PlayStation Compatible Product, [***]. Publisher shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recall or destroy previously manufactured Physical Media Products if: (a) such Physical Media Products did not materially comply with the standards, requirements and conditions set forth in the Guidelines at the time they were submitted to SIE pursuant to Section 6.3, or (b) if explicitly required to do so in writing by SIE in accordance with the terms of Section 6.9. The Guidelines (including any modifications thereof) will be comparable to the guidelines and specifications applied by the SIE Companies to their own products designed and developed for the applicable Systems, and will be applied to Publisher in a non-discriminatory manner similar to the manner in which they are applied to all other Licensed Publishers for the applicable Systems.

5.	Other Limitations on Licensed Rights

5.1

Limitations on use of Development Tools. The development license granted in this GDPA is limited to development and testing of PlayStation Compatible Products, in formats SIE designates, and any other use of the SIE Materials (direct or indirect) not authorized by the terms of this GDPA is strictly prohibited.

Publisher shall not make available to any third party any tools developed or derived from the study of the Development Tools without SIE’s express prior written consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Publisher will not permit the use of the SIE Materials in connection with (i) the emulation of Licensed Products on hardware systems other than the Systems, (ii) to develop or test products for any third party emulator of any System, or (iii) for any third party hardware that infringes the SIE Intellectual Property Rights (e.g., knock-off PlayStation systems). Publisher will not use or permit the use of any of the SIE Materials in connection with the development of any software, content or service for any computer hardware or software system, except as expressly permitted under this GDPA. Publisher is authorized to copy the libraries contained within the Development Tools solely to the extent necessary to integrate the libraries into PlayStation Compatible Products; to copy the Software Tools to an internal secure repository accessible by authorized personnel; and to make [***] of the Software Tools per Development Site solely for archival, legal or back up purposes. Publisher must comply with all programming procedures, requirements, and guidelines, set forth in the Guidelines or communicated by SIE in writing. Specifically with respect to the System emulator software, Publisher shall not bypass the System kernel and shall not transmit programming instructions directly to the registers or addresses located in: (i) areas of RAM that are used by the System kernel; or (ii) other System hardware devices (collectively, “System Bypass Areas”) except with SIE’s express prior written consent or to the extent necessary to comply with written instructions in the Documentation. As a prerequisite to requesting SIE’s consent, Publisher must submit a written application accompanied by a detailed specification of Publisher’s proposal and comply with any of SIE’s written procedures. Publisher shall not develop any software or tool to circumvent the System Bypass Areas, except with SIE’s express prior written consent. Publisher shall not make any addition, alteration or improvement to the Development Tools that contravenes or is inconsistent with the Guidelines (including any programming guidelines set forth in the Documentation), or that may compromise the security or integrity of any System, Development Tools, or PSN. Publisher bears all risks arising from incompatibility of its PlayStation Compatible Products and any System resulting from use of Publisher-created tools.

5.2

Reverse Engineering Prohibited. Except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law, Publisher will not directly or indirectly disassemble, decrypt, electronically scan, peel semiconductor components from, decompile, or reverse engineer in any manner, or attempt to reverse engineer or derive any source code from, the Development Tools, or permit, assist or encourage any third party to do so or knowingly acquire or use any materials from any third party who does so. Publisher may study the performance, design and operation of the Development Tools solely for the limited purposes of developing and testing PlayStation Compatible Products, or to develop tools to assist Publisher with the development and testing of PlayStation Compatible Products. SIE reserves the right to require Publisher to furnish evidence reasonably satisfactory to SIE that Publisher has complied with this Section 5.2.


5.3	Intentionally Deleted.


5.4	Limitations Regarding Ownership and Protection of SIE Materials and SIE Intellectual Property Rights. All rights with respect to the SIE Materials and the Systems, including the SIE

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 3 CONFIDENTIAL

5.5

Reservation of Rights. This GDPA does not grant Publisher any right or license except as expressly authorized by and in strict compliance with this GDPA’s terms and conditions. No right or license is to be implied by or inferred from any provision of this GDPA or from the parties’ conduct. Subject only to the express rights of Publisher under this GDPA, all rights to the SIE Materials and the SIE Intellectual Property Rights are reserved to SIE.

5.6

Acknowledgment of Publisher’s Ownership Rights.

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 4 CONFIDENTIAL

derived from the Publisher Property. SIE shall take all steps as Publisher may reasonably require for the protection and maintenance of the Publisher Intellectual Property Rights, including executing licenses or assisting Publisher in obtaining registrations (at Publisher’s expense). All goodwill associated with Publisher’s trademarks, including any goodwill generated or arising by or through SIE’s or its subcontractors’ or sublicensees’ activities under this GDPA, accrues to the benefit of and belongs exclusively to Publisher. As between Publisher and SIE, Publisher will own and retain all rights, title and interest in any User Content (as defined below). Where it is not possible under applicable law to prevent SIE from challenging the validity of the Publisher Intellectual Property Rights, nothing in this Section 5.6 shall prevent SIE from doing so.


6.	Development of PlayStation Compatible Products, Product Assessment and Quality Assurance

6.1

Right to Develop. Pursuant to Section 3 and subject to payment of any applicable fees [***], SIE grants to Publisher the right to place orders for Hardware Tools pursuant to Section 7, and a non-exclusive, non-transferrable license to use Software Tools, for the sole purpose of developing and testing PlayStation Compatible Products or as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this GDPA. Each PlayStation Compatible Product developed using, incorporating or with reference to the Development Tools must be expressly authorized by SIE, and SIE’s authorization may require, at SIE’s reasonable discretion, consent by Publisher to additional terms, or a requirement that such PlayStation Compatible Product be subject to compatibility, assessment and quality assurance testing by SIE; provided, however, that any additional terms and/or any compatibility, assessment and quality assurance testing applicable to such PlayStation Compatible Product will be generally the same as applied to other Licensed Publishers in relation to similar PlayStation Compatible Products.

6.2

Developer Support Website. Subject to the terms of this GDPA, SIE will grant Publisher access to relevant portions of the Developer Website to facilitate the dissemination of the Development Tools and other materials and information. SIE will design and maintain the Developer Website in accordance with industry standard security practices intended to detect and prevent any vulnerability that may lead to dissemination of computer viruses or other malicious code.

6.3

Assessment and Quality Assurance of PlayStation Compatible Products. Publisher will comply with the requirements and related process for assessment and format quality assurance of PlayStation Compatible Products and Advertising Materials, on a product-by-product basis, as specified in the Guidelines. All Licensed Products must successfully pass SIE’s assessment and format quality assurance testing set forth in the Guidelines before distribution. SIE may also require other PlayStation Compatible Products that are not Licensed Products to undergo assessment and format quality assurance testing, in its reasonable discretion, provided that any assessment and quality assurance requirements applicable to such PlayStation Compatible Products will be the same as applied to other Licensed Publishers in relation to similar PlayStation Compatible Products. SIE may withhold approval of a Licensed Product or other PlayStation Compatible Product that does not conform to the Guidelines, as reasonably determined by SIE. Only upon and not prior to SIE approval, Physical Media Products may be ordered from a Designated Manufacturing Facility, and Digitally Delivered Products may be placed on PSN, unless otherwise authorized by SIE in writing. In the event any Licensed Product or other PlayStation Compatible Product is not approved by SIE pursuant to this Section 6.3, SIE will provide Publisher with a report detailing the reasons for disapproval and the issues needed to be fixed in order to obtain SIE’s approval in the form stipulated in the Guidelines, and SIE will provide reasonable assistance to Publisher in connection with Publisher’s modifications to such PlayStation Compatible Product.


6.4	Authentication. Publisher will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect Licensed Products and any other PlayStation Compatible Products that include Software Tools from and against illegal

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 5 CONFIDENTIAL

reproduction or copying by third parties. SIE may use on Licensed Products, or require Publisher to use on Licensed Products an authentication or authorization system to be provided, licensed or designated by SIE to authenticate and verify all Licensed Products and units of the Systems. SIE may insert serial numbers, or other reasonable security measures, on Licensed Products for security or authentication purposes so long as such security measures do not have any adverse effect on the Licensed Product’s features and functionalities.

6.5

Advice and Support. Any advice or support provided by any SIE Company or Affiliate to Publisher to assist with the development of PlayStation Compatible Products is provided at the complete discretion of the relevant SIE Company or Affiliate, which may change, suspend, remove or disable access to any such advice or support, at any time without incurring liability. Any such advice or support is provided to Publisher on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis and SIE shall have no liability to Publisher in respect of such support or advice. Any Publisher Property, or other software, materials or information provided by Publisher to any SIE Company or Affiliate in connection with obtaining advice and support is provided at Publisher’s own risk (but without prejudice to SIE’s obligations under Section 20.6).


6.6	Third Party Tools. If Publisher uses any third-party tools to develop PlayStation Compatible Products or any portion thereof, Publisher shall be responsible at Publisher’s sole risk and expense for ensuring that it has obtained all necessary licenses for its use.

6.7

Publisher Compliance, Responsibility, Warnings. Publisher bears sole responsibility and liability for PlayStation Compatible Product operation, features, capabilities, user generated content and Online Activity, but solely to the extent any of the foregoing features, capabilities, user-generated content and/or Online Activity are hosted, controlled, or implemented by Publisher, including: (i) Online Activity between territories using different television standards, whether PAL, NTSC, or another standard; (ii) any cross-functionality between PlayStation Compatible Products on different Systems or software applications operating on any device other than the Systems that may interact with PlayStation Compatible Products on a System; (iii) the granting of the right to end-users, or preventing end-users from exercising the ability, to copy, modify, distribute, perform, display and share content (including between the Territories) contained in or created from PlayStation Compatible Products pursuant to System features which have been implemented by Publisher (such user generated content, “User Content”), and (iv) the suitability or adequacy of health and safety or other warnings or notices provided by Publisher for PlayStation Compatible Products. SIE makes no representation regarding the suitability or adequacy of any System-generated warning or any warning provided, suggested, or required in the Guidelines, Packaging, manual or other templates, or elsewhere by any SIE Company or Affiliate. Publisher may include additional legal notices, disclosures, disclaimers and/or warnings on the Printed Materials, Packaging, PSN metadata, Product Submissions, or within the legal notices section in the Licensed Product itself, subject to compliance with the Guidelines.

6.8

Peripherals and Compatibility of Licensed Products. Publisher will not, and will not authorize any third party to, develop or distribute any Peripheral without the prior express written consent of SIE. Consent is [***], and may be subject to [***], provided that any such requirements [***] with respect to similar Peripherals. Where [***] a Peripheral (a “Publisher Peripheral”), Publisher is solely responsible for the functionality and operational compatibility of its Licensed Products with any such Publisher Peripherals that are not distributed by SIE. SIE has no responsibility to test or evaluate the compatibility of Publisher’s Licensed Products with any Peripherals that are not distributed by SIE. SIE is not responsible for any actual, incidental or consequential damages that may result from any use or inability to use any Publisher Peripheral with any PlayStation Compatible Product or System. If SIE elects, in its sole discretion, to test or evaluate the compatibility of Publisher’s Licensed Products with any Publisher Peripheral then, (i) such testing or evaluation will

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 6 CONFIDENTIAL

not obligate SIE to test or evaluate any other Peripheral; (ii) such testing or evaluation will not shift to SIE any responsibility to ensure or assess the functionality or compatibility of any Publisher Peripheral or require SIE to report any Publisher Peripheral incompatibilities; (iii) SIE will not be deemed to have endorsed any Publisher Peripheral solely by reason of such testing or evaluation; and (iv) Publisher will provide SIE, at no additional cost or expense to SIE, with a reasonable number of samples of any applicable Publisher Peripherals for testing and review in a timely manner. If any PlayStation Compatible Product fails to perform to SIE’s satisfaction with any Publisher Peripheral that the PlayStation Compatible Product is intended to support, SIE may require, upon notice to Publisher, that Publisher modify such portions of the Publisher Property as are intended to support the affected Publisher Peripheral in order to remediate any performance issues identified by SIE, and if Publisher is unable or elects not to make such modifications, SIE may require that Publisher remove such applicable portions of the Publisher Property from the relevant Licensed Product.

6.9

Publisher’s Additional Quality Assurance Obligations. If, at any time subsequent to the approval thereof by SIE, SIE becomes aware of any material defect (such materiality to be determined by SIE in its reasonable discretion) with respect to a PlayStation Compatible Product, or if SIE becomes aware of any improper use of the Licensed Trademarks or SIE Materials, in each case exclusive of any defect or improper use that is solely attributable to the SIE Materials, then Publisher shall, at no cost to SIE, promptly correct that material defect or improper use, to SIE’s commercially reasonable satisfaction, which may include, in SIE’s reasonable discretion, the recall and re-release of units of an affected Physical Media Product, or publication of an update, upgrade or technical fix to an affected PlayStation Compatible Product. If any PlayStation Compatible Product creates any risk of loss or damage to any property or injury to any person and Publisher is unable to promptly publish an update, upgrade or technical fix to such PlayStation Compatible Product, then, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, Publisher shall immediately take commercially reasonable steps, at Publisher’s sole liability and expense, to recall and remove that PlayStation Compatible Product from any affected channels of distribution; provided, however, that if Publisher is not acting as the distributor or seller for the PlayStation Compatible Product its obligation shall be to use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange removal of all affected units of the PlayStation Compatible Product from the relevant distribution channels. Publisher shall provide all end-user support for Publisher’s PlayStation Compatible Products and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such end-user support in a reasonably efficient manner. SIE expressly disclaims any obligations or liability to provide end-user support with respect to Publisher’s PlayStation Compatible Products.

6.10

Rating Requirements. No Licensed Product may be published, sold, distributed, marketed, advertised or promoted unless it bears a consumer advisory age rating and product descriptors, either as required by local law or as issued by, and following the rating display requirements of, a consumer advisory ratings system designated by SIE and applicable to all Publishers, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties; provided, however, that for any PlayStation Compatible Products other than Licensed Products distributed on platforms other than the Systems (e.g. mobile apps), Publisher will comply with the applicable the consumer advisory age rating required by the platform on which such PlayStation Compatible Product is distributed (e.g. Apple App Store). Publisher alone bears all costs incurred in connection with obtaining any rating. No PlayStation Compatible Product and related Printed Materials or Advertising Materials may bear more than one consumer advisory rating in any Territory save where such is expressly permitted under the rules of the rating system which applies pursuant to this Section 6.10. Any Digitally Delivered Product that can be used with another Licensed Product must not bear (or must not contain any content which, if rated, would attract) a higher age rating than the rating issued to that other Licensed Product and, save in the case of an add-on to a previously-published Licensed Product, shall not bear a rating that is lower than the rating issue to that other Licensed Product, unless SIE waives these requirements in writing. Any PlayStation Compatible Product other than Licensed Product distributed on platforms other than the Systems

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 7 CONFIDENTIAL

(e.g. mobile companion app) that can be used with another Licensed Product must have an age rating that is comparable to the age rating for that applicable Licensed Product. Publisher shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any other policies of SIE on the age rating, age gating and labeling of PlayStation Compatible Products intended to protect children as may be published within the Guidelines or otherwise communicated by SIE to Publisher, provided that such policies communicated by SIE to Publisher outside of the Guidelines will be generally the same as required of all other Licensed Publishers.


7.	Development Tools

7.1

Acquisition of Development Tools. For the purposes of this Section 7, “the applicable SIE Company” shall mean the SIE Company in the Territory in which the Development Tools are to be used or, at that SIE Company’s direction, another SIE Company. The applicable SIE Company may sell or loan Development Tools to Publisher in its sole discretion, in accordance with this Section 7. For the avoidance of doubt, any Software Tools included with or provided in relation to Hardware Tools are licensed, not sold or loaned, to Publisher pursuant to the terms set forth in Sections 3, 5 and 6. Title to Software Tools does not pass to Publisher upon purchase or loan of the Hardware Tools. The nontransferable license of the Software Tools within the Hardware Tools may act as a restriction or prohibition against the resale of the Hardware Tools. The purchase price or loan fee for Development Tools, and the payment currency, is set forth on the Developer Website, or shall be otherwise notified by the applicable SIE Company to Publisher. Unless otherwise agreed, Publisher shall pay for the Development Tools in full prior to delivery or download, and title to Development Tools shall remain with the applicable SIE Company until it has received full payment (save in the case of the Software Tools where title does not pass to Publisher at any time). If Publisher collects the Development Tools and transfers them outside the country of collection, Publisher agrees to provide the applicable SIE Company with the relevant transport proofs required by the relevant taxation authorities to allow the supply by SIE to be exempt from VAT. The applicable SIE Company reserves the right to either: (i) charge VAT until such documents are provided at which time the VAT will be refunded; or (ii) subsequently charge VAT if those documents are not provided within [***] months of collection. The purchase price or loan fee charged to Publisher for any Development Tools will be [***].

7.2

Credit. If the applicable SIE Company extends credit terms to Publisher or facilitates third-party financing for Publisher, until Publisher makes payment in full for all items so financed, Publisher (i) grants to that SIE Company, or its designee, a first position purchase money security interest in each Hardware Tool and in the proceeds of disposition of any Hardware Tool and (ii) shall not sell, hypothecate or encumber any such Hardware Tool. Publisher shall execute and deliver to the applicable SIE Company or its designee any documents the SIE Company needs to perfect the security interest, and agrees that applicable SIE Company or its designee may file those documents in its discretion.


7.3	Orders. Orders for Development Tools shall be submitted via the Developer Website or as otherwise notified by the applicable SIE Company. The applicable SIE Company may accept or reject, in its discretion, any Development Tools order, and does not warrant that Development Tools shall be available when ordered.


7.4	Publisher Terms. Any purchase order or other documentation issued by Publisher, purporting in any way to relate to the purchase, loan or license of Development Tools, does not amend or modify this GDPA or any terms presented by the applicable SIE Company in connection with the order of Development Tools, except as expressly agreed in writing by the applicable SIE Company.

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 8 CONFIDENTIAL

7.5

Delivery. Upon acceptance of Publisher’s order for Development Tools, and on payment of any applicable purchase or loan fee for the Development Tools, the applicable SIE Company will ship the loaned or purchased Development Tools, when available, to the Development Site(s). Publisher bears all expenses associated with delivery of the Development Tools, including insurance costs. Risk of loss or damage in transit to the Development Tools vests in Publisher immediately upon the applicable SIE Company’s delivery to the carrier of its choice and remains with Publisher until that SIE Company receives return of the Development Tools. Upon request from the SIE Company, Publisher shall provide a signed acknowledgement of receipt in such form as shall be reasonably specified by the applicable SIE Company. The applicable SIE Company will make Software Tools, excluding Firmware (which will be included with the Hardware Tools) but including Firmware updates, available at the Developer Website as set forth in Section 6.2, or such other method as reasonably chosen by that SIE Company.

7.6

Deletion of Publisher Code. Prior to Publisher shipping any Hardware Tool to the applicable SIE Company either pursuant to an announced upgrade “swap” program, or pursuant to the warranty provisions set forth below, or for any other reason, Publisher shall (i) securely delete Publisher’s applications software from the hard drive and all other storage media contained in the Hardware Tool and (ii) upon written request from SIE, execute any documentation required by the applicable SIE Company certifying such deletion.


7.7	No Refunds. All Development Tool purchases and loans made under this GDPA are final. In no event shall the applicable SIE Company be obligated to refund all or any portion of the purchase price or loan fee for the Development Tools.

recover such Development Tools and comply with any corrective action specified by the applicable SIE Company to recover the Development Tools and to prevent any re-occurrence of any loss, theft, breach of security or other unauthorized disclosure involving the Development Tools, and Publisher gives that SIE Company its authority to conduct or assist in the recovery of lost, stolen or missing Development Tools. A breach of Sections 7.8(i) or (ii) constitutes a material breach of this GDPA.

7.9

Inspection. Upon providing Publisher with reasonable, prior written notice, the applicable SIE Company may reasonably inspect the Development Site at any time during Publisher’s normal business hours solely to verify Publisher’s compliance with the terms of Section 7 of this GDPA. That SIE Company shall not conduct an inspection in a manner that disrupts Publisher's business activities. Publisher shall also provide that SIE Company with an inventory report of Development Tools in its possession within [***] days of SIE’s request, including the serial number for each Development Tool and its current physical location. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in no event shall SIE be entitled to access any parts of the Development Site that are not relevant to the inspection, and (ii) SIE may not inspect the Development Site more than [***] unless due to extraordinary circumstances (including, without limitation, if SIE reasonably suspects there to be a security issue at such Development Site).

Any other repairs or replacements are provided at the applicable SIE Company’s discretion. Nothing in this GDPA shall impose an obligation on SIE to repair or replace any Development Tools that it reasonably considers obsolete or beyond economical repair.

7.11

Upgrades. The applicable SIE Company may advise Publisher (either in writing or via the Developer Website) if and when during the Term that the applicable SIE Company makes generally available to Licensed Developers or Licensed Publishers, any revised, updated, modified or enhanced version of any component of the Development Tools. Publisher shall be entitled or, at that SIE Company’s option, shall be required, to use such new version, provided, however, that in the event the SIE Company requires Publisher to upgrade to any new version, the SIE Company will provide Publisher with a reasonable period of time to effect any such upgrade. The applicable SIE Company may, upon delivery to Publisher of these Development Tools, require Publisher to return to that SIE Company the Development Tools previously in Publisher’s possession.


7.12	Loan of Hardware Tools. The applicable SIE Company may, in its discretion, loan Hardware Tools to Publisher.

7.12.1

Term, Termination and Return. The term of each applicable loan commences and ends on the dates specified by the applicable SIE Company for each Hardware Tool unit or component.

Upon termination of any loan of Hardware Tools: (i) all rights granted to Publisher in connection with the loan revert to the applicable SIE Company; (ii) Publisher shall cease and desist from further use of such loaned Development Tools; and (iii) Publisher shall immediately return such loaned Development Tools, including any other SIE Materials relating to such loaned Development Tools, to the applicable SIE Company

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 10 CONFIDENTIAL

at Publisher's cost. Publisher shall be responsible for any customs formalities or duties arising in connection with any such returns. If the loaning SIE Company reasonably determines Publisher failed to comply with a material provision of this Section 7 in relation to any loaned Development Tools, or where SIE reasonably determines there is an actual or suspected security risk involving such Development Tools or the Developer Website, it may demand immediate return of the loaned Hardware Tools and all related Software Tools, and Publisher shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply within [***] business days. If Publisher fails to return any such loaned Development Tools, and the applicable SIE Company resorts to legal means to recover the same, then Publisher shall pay all of that SIE Company’s expenses, including the replacement value of the loaned Development Tools and SIE’s reasonable outside attorney’s fees directly relating to such recovery efforts.

7.12.2

Risk of Loss. If any loaned Hardware Tools are lost, stolen, damaged, destroyed or copied (other than in compliance with the terms of this GDPA or as otherwise authorized by the applicable SIE Company in writing), Publisher shall pay the applicable SIE Company [***], as set forth in the Developer Website or as specified by the applicable SIE Company, in addition to fines, penalties, or any remedy that the applicable SIE Company may have at law or in equity. Publisher shall, at SIE’s sole cost and expense (save in the circumstances set out above in this Section 7.12.2 where it shall be at Publisher’s sole cost and expense), execute any documents and take all actions that SIE reasonably requests to protect SIE’s right, title and interest to the Hardware Tools.

7.12.3

SIE Ownership. SIE retains all right, title and interest to any loaned Hardware Tools, including all Intellectual Property Rights. Publisher shall not sell, lease, license, transfer or dispose of the loaned Hardware Tools, or permit any lien or encumbrance.

8.	Manufacture and Supply of Physical Media Products

8.1

Designated Manufacturing Facilities. To ensure compatibility of Physical Media Products with the applicable System(s), consistent quality of the Physical Media Products, and incorporation of anti-piracy security measures, each SIE Company shall designate and license at least [***] Designated Manufacturing Facility to reproduce Physical Media Products. Publisher shall purchase [***] for Physical Media Products, including demonstration discs and cards, Printed Materials, Packaging and assembly from a Designated Manufacturing Facility in the Territory in which they are to be distributed by Publisher under this GDPA, except as expressly set forth in this Section 8. Any Designated Manufacturing Facility may enforce the terms of this GDPA that relate to the manufacture and delivery of Physical Media Products. If law in a Territory prohibits SIE from requiring Publisher to use only a Designated Manufacturing Facility to manufacture Physical Media Products, Publisher may have Physical Media Products, including demonstration discs and cards, Printed Materials and Packaging, manufactured by a third party other than a Designated Manufacturing Facility, but Publisher may do so only to the extent the law in the Territory requires that Publisher have the right to do so, and only for Physical Media Products distributed in the Territory with such a prohibition (unless otherwise contemplated by this Section 8). Publisher’s use of a third-party manufacturer other than a Designated Manufacturing Facility must otherwise comply with this GDPA, [***]. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, in no circumstances shall any SIE Company or the Designated Manufacturing Facility treat any of Publisher’s Physical Media Products in any way more or less favorably, in terms of production turnaround times or otherwise, than the Physical Media Products of any other similarly situated third party licensee of such SIE Company or than the Physical Media Products published by such SIE Company.

8.2

Creation of Master Media. Using a fully-approved, reproducible file containing final Licensed Product provided by Publisher, the applicable SIE Company or the applicable Designated Manufacturing Facility shall create an encrypted, reproducible master of the Physical Media Product from which all units of the applicable Physical Media Product are to be replicated. Publisher shall be responsible for the costs, as determined by the applicable SIE Company or the applicable Designated Manufacturing Facility, of producing the reproducible masters of Physical Media Products.

8.3

Orders. Publisher shall issue Purchase Orders to the applicable Designated Manufacturing Facility, with a copy to the SIE Company in the Territory where the order is placed. No Purchase Orders will be processed for any Physical Media Product unless that product is approved in accordance with Section 6, and complies with the Guidelines. All Purchase Orders shall be subject to approval by the applicable SIE Company, not to be unreasonably withheld, and to acceptance by the applicable Designated Manufacturing Facility pursuant to the Guidelines. Purchase Orders issued by Publisher to a Designated Manufacturing Facility for each Licensed Product approved by the applicable SIE Company shall be non-cancelable and are subject to the terms and conditions of the Designated Manufacturing Facility that are generally applicable to all Licensed Publishers at the time of the relevant Purchase Order. Publisher shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit orders for or sell any units of Physical Media Products in any situation where Publisher knows or reasonably should know that any of such Physical Media Products will be exported or resold outside of the Territory in which they are ordered.

8.4

Manufacture and supply of units. Upon approval of a Licensed Product and associated Printed Materials pursuant to Section 6, and subject to Sections 8.5 through 8.7, the applicable Designated Manufacturing Facility will, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8, and at Publisher’s request and sole expense (a) manufacture and supply Physical Media Products for and to Publisher; (b) manufacture and supply Publisher’s Packaging and Printed Materials; and (c) assemble the Physical Media Products with the related Printed Materials and Packaging.

The applicable SIE Company reserves the right to insert or require Publisher to make arrangements for the insertion of certain Printed Materials relating to the System into each unit.

8.5

Manufacture and supply of Printed Materials by Designated Manufacturing Facility. If Publisher elects to order Printed Materials from a Designated Manufacturing Facility, Publisher shall deliver the applicable SIE-approved Printed Materials to the applicable Designated Manufacturing Facility, at Publisher’s sole risk and expense, and the Designated Manufacturing Facility will manufacture Printed Materials in accordance with this Section 8. Neither SIE nor any Designated Manufacturing Facility is liable for loss of or damage to Printed Materials.

8.6

Manufacture of Packaging and Printed Materials by Alternate Source. Subject to the prior, express, written approval (in its sole discretion) of the SIE Company in the Territory in which the Physical Media Products are to be distributed by Publisher under this GDPA and the Guidelines, Publisher may elect to be responsible for manufacturing its own Packaging and Printed Materials (other than artwork which is to be reproduced or displayed on any Physical Media Product, which Publisher will supply to the applicable Designated Manufacturing Facility for incorporation within the Physical Media Product), at Publisher’s sole risk and expense. The applicable SIE Company shall have the right to disapprove any Packaging or Printed Materials that do not comply with the applicable Guidelines. If Publisher elects to supply its own Packaging or Printed Materials, neither SIE nor any Designated Manufacturing Facility shall be responsible for any shortage or delays arising from use of Publisher’s own Packaging or Printed Materials.

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 12 CONFIDENTIAL

8.7

Assembly Services by Alternate Source. Subject to the prior, express, written approval (in its sole discretion) of the SIE Company in the Territory in which the Physical Media Products are to be distributed by Publisher under this GDPA and the Guidelines, Publisher may elect to procure assembly services from an alternate source other than a Designated Manufacturing Facility. If Publisher elects to be responsible for assembling the Physical Media Products, then the applicable Designated Manufacturing Facility shall ship the component parts of the Physical Media Product to a destination designated by Publisher, at Publisher’s sole risk and expense. The applicable SIE Company shall have the right to inspect any assembly facilities that Publisher proposes to use in order to determine if the component parts of the Physical Media Products are being assembled in accordance with SIE’s quality standards. The applicable SIE Company may require Publisher to recall any units of any Physical Media Products that fail to materially comply with the Guidelines unless any non-compliance is solely attributable to any acts or omissions of any SIE Company or any Designated Manufacturing Facility. If Publisher elects to use alternate assembly facilities, neither SIE nor any Designated Manufacturing Facility shall be responsible for any shortage or delays or other production issues, including breakage or missing component parts, arising from use of alternate assembly facilities. Publisher shall comply with all applicable labor and employment laws and shall not employ child labor, slave labor or forced labor in connection with the assembly of the Licensed Products, or knowingly use any third party that does so.

8.8

Delivery of Physical Media Products. The applicable Designated Manufacturing Facility will deliver Physical Media Products to Publisher at Publisher’s sole expense, except where otherwise stated in the Guidelines, this GDPA, or as otherwise agreed in writing by the applicable SIE Company. Subject to the terms of Section 8.1 of this GDPA, SIE does not guarantee delivery of Physical Media Products by any delivery date stipulated by Publisher, but Publisher and the Designated Manufacturing Facility may agree a fixed delivery date separately. Publisher shall have no right to have completed units of Physical Media Products stored at the applicable Designated Manufacturing Facility after manufacture.

8.9

Ownership of Original Master Discs. Neither SIE nor any Designated Manufacturing Facility has any obligation to release to Publisher any original reproducible masters created under Section 8, or any other in-process materials. These masters and materials are and will remain the sole property of SIE or the Designated Manufacturing Facility (as applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Publisher Intellectual Property Rights that are contained in these masters or materials are, as between SIE and Publisher, the sole and exclusive property of Publisher or its licensors.


8.10	Other Products. This Section 8 shall apply to the manufacture, order, supply and delivery of other non-standard products or Packaging relating to Licensed Products, if any, ordered by Publisher from a Designated Manufacturing Facility, unless otherwise stated in this GDPA or the Guidelines.


9.	Distribution

(a) Distribution of any Licensed Product is subject to SIE’s assessment, testing and approval in accordance with the terms of Section 6.3. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, Licensed Products will be distributed in accordance with Sections 9.1 or 9.2, as applicable. Unless expressly approved in writing by an SIE Company, Publisher may not publish a Licensed Product previously published by another Licensed Publisher in the same Territory for the same System.

(b) Distribution of any PlayStation Compatible Product other than Licensed Products (including Peripherals) may require written approval by SIE and such approval may require Publisher to submit any such PlayStation Compatible Product to SIE for evaluation, assessment, testing, and approval pursuant to Section 6.3 and the Guidelines. Publisher’s distribution of such PlayStation Compatible Product may be subject to commercial or other conditions (following such evaluation or otherwise) mutually agreed to by the parties in

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 13 CONFIDENTIAL

writing, including, solely to the extent mutually agreed for such PlayStation Compatible Product, a requirement that such PlayStation Compatible Product must be distributed through PSN. All requirements imposed by SIE in relation to any such PlayStation Compatible Product will be the same as are generally applicable to all Licensed Publishers of similar PlayStation Compatible Products.


9.1	Distribution of Physical Media Products

9.1.1

Form of Distribution. Unless expressly approved in writing by the SIE Company in the applicable Territory, Licensed Products distributed physically to end-users shall be in the form of Physical Media Products only. Publisher shall not, directly or indirectly, hard bundle a Licensed Product with any other Licensed Product, Peripheral, PlayStation Compatible Product or any other content, good or service, without SIE’s prior written consent. Where such approval is granted, the terms of this GDPA shall apply to those units.


9.1.2	Distribution Channels. Publisher may use distribution channels for Physical Media Products as Publisher deems appropriate, including the use of third-party distributors, resellers, dealers and sales representatives.


9.1.3	Simultaneous Publishing.

9.2	Distribution of Digitally Delivered Products

9.2.1

Distribution Channel for Digitally Delivered Products. Unless expressly approved in writing by all SIE Companies in the relevant Territories, Digitally Delivered Products, and any subscriptions or services associated with Licensed Products (where Publisher elects in its sole discretion to make such subscriptions or services available), shall be distributed through PSN only, in accordance with this Section 9. Publisher may, however, electronically transmit PlayStation Compatible Products from Development Site to Development Site, or from machine to machine over a computer network, for the sole purpose of facilitating development or testing of PlayStation Compatible Products to be carried out under Section 6, provided that Publisher uses reasonable security measures customary within the high technology industry to reduce the risk of unauthorized interception or retransmission of those transmissions.

9.2.2

PSN. Publisher may offer each SIE Company the right to sell Digitally Delivered Products, and, if any, subscriptions or other services related to Licensed Products, to Users via PSN in each relevant Territory, or, if SIE chooses to make such option available to Publisher and Publisher elects such option in its discretion, have that SIE Company sell or rent those products on behalf of Publisher as Publisher’s agent via PSN, on the terms set forth in this Section 9, Section 15, the Guidelines, or other standard terms SIE may communicate to Licensed Publishers. Subject to the terms of this GDPA, Publisher grants to SIE the right, which may be exercised by SIE directly or through an Affiliate (provided that SIE will ensure any such Affiliate’s compliance with the terms of this GDPA in accordance with Section 14), on or through PSN, during the Term (subject to Section 22) throughout each Territory, to: (i) install, load, host and reproduce Digitally Delivered Products and Product Information on servers for the sole purpose of marketing and selling the Digitally Delivered Products to Users on the applicable System(s) on which Publisher elects to publish such Digitally

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 14 CONFIDENTIAL

Delivered Products (as contemplated in the Product Submission associated with such Digitally Delivered Products); (ii) resell (including by means of a retail voucher code), deliver and provide access to and use of Digitally Delivered Products to Users electronically via PSN for the System(s) on which Publisher elects to publish such Digitally Delivered Products, (either alone or as part of a Publisher approved bundle) by means of digital download, including to the extent necessary to effect such rights via reproduction, transmission, public performance, public display, public communication, and digitally wrapping and repackaging (such rights extending solely to any product (including its offline manual) published exclusively as a Physical Media Product under a Licensed Publisher Agreement which the parties agree in writing shall be digitally wrapped or repackaged by SIE for distribution as a Digitally Delivered Product through PSN subject to the terms of this GDPA); (iii) digitally stream Licensed Products to Users via PlayStation Now, subject to written agreement between the parties on a product-by-product basis, and copy and adapt the Licensed Products solely as necessary for that purpose; (iv) sublicense to Users, for their personal, non-commercial purposes, the right to browse Digitally Delivered Products available for the applicable System(s) for which Publisher makes such Digitally Delivered Products available, and a worldwide, non-transferable, non-exclusive right to access, download, store, use and play Digitally Delivered Products on the applicable System for which it was purchased or otherwise provided, subject to the terms established by SIE under which Digitally Delivered Products are supplied to Users, including, subject to written agreement between the parties on a product-by-product basis, in exchange for rental, subscription, bundle or time-based usage fees, and subject to any rental, subscriptions or other usage terms established by SIE; (v) allow Users to re-download and use any Digitally Delivered Product previously legitimately purchased on the same PSN account, without further charge or obligation; (vi) market, advertise and promote Digitally Delivered Products in any media, subject in all cases to the terms set forth in Section 9.2.3; (vii) use Advertising Material and Product Information to facilitate Digitally Delivered Product resale on or through PSN, subject in all cases to the terms set forth in Section 9.2.3; and (viii) make, store and use copies of Digitally Delivered Products and associated Product Information internally solely for testing, evaluation, quality control, User support, support in the operation of PSN (and any services offered thereunder) and for archiving, administrative, legal and rating board and other compliance purposes. With respect to any retail vouchers for Digitally Delivered Products, SIE will display or reference any disclosures, disclaimers and other notices on such retail vouchers as reasonably requested by Publisher, and SIE’s sale and distribution of retail vouchers may also be subject to any additional terms and conditions which may be agreed to by the parties in relation to any applicable retailer or Territory. For purposes of clarity, SIE will not distribute any Digitally Delivered Products via any subscription, bundle or compilation product, emulation, or streaming service unless mutually agreed to by Publisher and SIE in writing on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, and will not distribute via PSN any Digitally Delivered Product until the release date designated by Publisher. Any digital repackaging or adaptation of a Licensed Product created by SIE pursuant to subsection (ii) or subsection (iii) above will be subject to Publisher’s prior written approval and will be considered Publisher Property (exclusive any SIE Materials or Licensed Trademarks therein), and if any rights, title or interest in such materials vest in SIE by operation of law or for any other reason, SIE assigns all rights, title and interest therein to Publisher.


9.2.3	License to Product Information. Publisher shall provide SIE with Product Information for each Licensed Product for use by SIE in accordance with this Section 9.2.3 and the Guidelines. Subject to the terms of this Section 9.2.3, Publisher grants to SIE, for the Term

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 15 CONFIDENTIAL

and within each Territory, a non-exclusive license to use Product Information to further SIE’s resale or other electronic distribution of Digitally Delivered Products pursuant to this GDPA. Subject to the terms of this Section 9.2.3, this license includes the following grant of rights to SIE to: (i) use, publish, reproduce, distribute, display, exhibit, transmit and communicate to the public, make available, and publicly perform on or through any media Publisher’s and its licensors’ trademarks, service marks or logos, and Product Information in connection with the marketing or promotion of Digitally Delivered Products on PSN, or in connection with any campaign which is primarily aimed at advertising, marketing or promoting PSN, the PlayStation Store, the Systems or the PlayStation brand generally, and; (ii) edit, crop or vignette all such materials as appropriate to comply with technical limitations; provided, however, that any proposed use of Publisher’s and/or its licensors’ trademarks, service marks or logos and Product Information and Advertising Materials, including any editing, cropping or vignettes thereof by SIE pursuant to the foregoing will be subject to Publisher’s prior written approval (which may be provided on a campaign-by-campaign basis or via the provision of pre-approved assets). For purposes of clarity, where Publisher provides SIE with pre-approved Product Information or Advertising Materials, SIE will not need to seek Publisher’s further approval for use of such Product Information or Advertising Materials in any SIE controlled media-channels. Publisher may request that SIE take down and cease use of any specific Product Information or Advertising Materials that do not comply with this Section 9.2.3 or that become subject to any third party claim, and SIE will use commercially reasonable efforts to take down and cease use of such Product Information or Advertising Materials reasonably promptly following receipt of Publisher’s request. Except for any SIE Materials or Licensed Trademarks, any modifications, enhancements or derivative works of any of the Product Information or Advertising Materials created by or for SIE will remain the exclusive property of Publisher or its applicable third party licensors, and if any rights, title or interest in such materials vest in SIE by operation of law or for any other reason, SIE hereby assigns all such rights, title and interest in such materials to Publisher. The licenses granted in this Section 9.2.3 include a license to use Publisher Intellectual Property Rights as reasonably necessary to exercise the foregoing rights and licenses, subject to the terms set forth in this Section 9.2.3.

9.2.4

PSN Vouchers. At Publisher's request, SIE may (without obligation) issue PSN voucher codes and printed vouchers displaying such codes for Digitally Delivered Products to Publisher, subject to agreement with Publisher on Wholesale Price or revenue share (as applicable), and, where applicable, on payment of SIE's fee for voucher production and supply as stipulated in the Guidelines, for: (i) non-commercial use (including internal use) by Publisher; (ii) promotional use by Publisher and/or Publisher’s third party contractors, service providers and promotional partners; or (iii) supply (but not resale) to consumers by Publisher and/or Publisher’s third party contractors, service providers and promotional partners. The fee charged to Publisher by SIE for such voucher codes will be the same as generally applicable to all Licensed Publishers. PSN vouchers issued to consumers may be redeemed in any country of the applicable Territory in which PSN is available. Where permitted by an SIE Company and subject to the Guidelines, Publisher may purchase from the applicable SIE Company physical cards with printed PSN voucher codes that entitle users to redeem Digitally Delivered Products from PSN and distribute or sell physical cards to third party retailers for resale to users. Publisher shall obtain voucher codes solely from the applicable SIE Company in the applicable Territory.


9.2.5	No Obligation. Subject to the terms of this GDPA, SIE reserves the right, in its sole discretion (unless otherwise stated), to do any of the following, at any time, without notice to Publisher: (i) operate and manage PSN; (ii) control the timing, manner, extent and duration of any

Sony Computer Entertainment

offer, display, supply, distribution, delivery, marketing, advertising and promotion of Digitally Delivered Products acting reasonably and in good faith; (iii) distribute, rent, sell, resell or market any SIE or third party product and service on PSN, including those that compete with Digitally Delivered Products; (iv) use age gates, filters or other restrictions to limit access of products and services offered through PSN; (v) acting reasonably and in good faith, commence or discontinue the marketing, resale, or electronic distribution of any Digitally Delivered Product; and (vi) suspend or cease PSN’s operation, in whole or in part, or suspend or cancel the offering or supply of any Digitally Delivered Product to a User in accordance with the ToSUA.

9.2.6

DRM. SIE has no obligation to use any digital rights management technology in conjunction with its resale or other electronic distribution of Digitally Delivered Products. If SIE, in its sole discretion, elects to use means to limit the improper use of Digitally Delivered Products, SIE will do so without any liability to Publisher, and Publisher shall use commercially reasonable efforts to support such technology provided by SIE. SIE will not remove, alter, deactivate or otherwise impair any digital rights management technology that Publisher may, in its sole discretion, include with any Digitally Delivered Products or any metadata or information associated therewith, provided such technology, metadata or information does not conflict with the requirements of the Guidelines.

9.2.7

Product Submission. Publisher shall provide Digitally Delivered Products to SIE for supply on or through PSN by submitting to an SIE Company a Digitally Delivered Product pursuant to the process described in the Guidelines or otherwise communicated to Publisher (and all other Licensed Publishers) by SIE (each such submission a “Product Submission”). Each Product Submission must include a true and accurate description of the Digitally Delivered Product, along with complete metadata for the Digitally Delivered Product as specified in the Guidelines or otherwise reasonably communicated to Publisher by SIE, provided that any additional requirements communicated to Publisher will be generally the same as required of all Licensed Publishers. Publisher is liable to SIE and Users for inaccurate or misleading (including by omission) product descriptions. There will be no obligation on SIE to supply any Digitally Delivered Product until SIE has accepted the relevant Product Submission. Each accepted Product Submission is hereby incorporated into and becomes a part of this GDPA. SIE may amend or change the Product Submission process and requirements at any time and will provide reasonable notice to Publisher of those changes. If a change to the Product Submission process or requirements requires additional information from Publisher, Publisher shall promptly provide that information to SIE. Publisher shall follow the Product Submission process that is current at the time Publisher submits Digitally Delivered Products. Any changes to the information contained in a submitted Product Submission must be provided by Publisher in a revised Product Submission.

9.2.8

Removal from PSN Storefront. Publisher may cease the sale or other provision of a Digitally Delivered Product to SIE by providing SIE with written notice no less than [***] business days prior to cessation, or as required by the Guidelines, in which case SIE will remove and cease selling or otherwise making available such Digitally Delivered Product, provided, however, that SIE will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly remove any Digital Delivered Product where requested by Publisher if such Digitally Delivered Product is subject to elevated levels of fraud or to comply with Publisher’s contractual, legal or regulatory requirements (including without limitation in the event any applicable third party rights granted to Publisher in relation to such Digitally Delivered Product expire, are terminated or otherwise revoked). SIE may purchase, resell and otherwise electronically

Sony Computer Entertainment

PLAYSTATION GDPA version 1.00 17 CONFIDENTIAL

distribute via PSN in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.2 an unlimited quantity of Digitally Delivered Products until the date of cessation, subject to SIE’s compliance with the terms of this GDPA and any additional terms mutually agreed to in writing by the parties. Publisher may terminate the re-download rights granted for any Digitally Delivered Product pursuant to Section 9.2.2(v) on a product-by-product basis upon written notice to SIE where necessary to comply with Publisher’s contractual, legal or regulatory requirements (including without limitation in the event any applicable third party rights granted to Publisher in relation to such Digitally Delivered Product expire, are terminated or otherwise revoked). SIE will remove any retail vouchers from any retailer in any territory no less than [***] days following receipt of Publisher’s written request, provided that Publisher may request immediate removal to the extent required to comply with any contractual, legal or regulatory requirements (including without limitation in the event any applicable third party rights granted to Publisher in relation to such product expire, are terminated or otherwise revoked). SIE will use commercially reasonable endeavors to remove any retail vouchers relating to any Digitally Delivered Product which is removed from the PSN in accordance with this Section 9.2.8. This Section 9.2.8 is without prejudice to Section 16.2.

9.2.9

Territory Restrictions. SIE shall only be taken to have exercised its rights under this Section 9 in respect of any Digitally Delivered Product in a particular country where SIE's activities in respect of that Digitally Delivered Product are directed at that country. Access to, use of or download of such product through PSN by a User outside the Territory is not a breach of this GDPA or a breach of any Publisher Intellectual Property Rights or (as between SIE and Publisher) the Intellectual Property Rights of any other person, provided that SIE will use commercially reasonable efforts to limit display and availability of any Digitally Delivered Product on PSN to Users within the applicable country unless prohibited by applicable law.

10.1

Additional Terms.

SIE will give Publisher specific notice of any objection to any payment (and any related documentation or reporting) provided by Publisher within [***] following the date on which Publisher provided such payment, documentation or reporting to SIE, or such payment, documentation or reporting will become conclusively binding and SIE waives any further right to object.

Publisher shall require an accounting firm performing an audit to execute a non-disclosure agreement with SIE in a form reasonably acceptable to SIE.

Third Party License Fees.
