4.             PAYMENT

 

4.1                                 Initial Payment.  In partial consideration of the license rights granted by Licensee to Licensor hereunder, Licensee will pay Licensor a non-refundable, non-recoupable license fee in the amount of seven million four hundred thousand dollars ($7,400,000).  In no event will the license fee paid by Licensee pursuant to this Section 4.1 be deemed an advance against any royalties payable by Licensee pursuant to Section 4.3.

 

4.2                                 Certain Definitions.  For purposes of calculating the royalties payable by Licensee to Licensor under this Agreement, the terms Net Revenue and Permitted Deductions are defined as follows:

 

(a)                                  “Net Revenues” shall mean the amounts actually received by Licensee from the Commercial Exploitation of the Adapted Games by Licensee and its Sublicensees, net of the Permitted Deductions; provided, however, that: (i) Net Revenues shall be calculated without regard for any taxes withheld from amounts paid to Licensee or any Sublicensee, and (ii) as to Publisher Sublicensees only, the amounts received by Licensee will be deemed to be no less than the amount actually received by such Publisher Sublicensee in connection with the Commercial Exploitation of the Adapted Games, without deduction of any kind other than carrier or platform provider revenue shares.  In addition, “Net Revenues” shall include any amounts not collected by Licensee (or its Sublicensees) from any affiliated customers.

 

(b)                                 “Permitted Deductions” shall mean any actual returns, chargebacks, refunds or credits that are supported by written documentation, and any fees, charges, expenses or other amounts paid by Licensee or Sublicensees to network carriers, Wireless Platform providers or Distribution Channel owners for the Adapted Games.  “Permitted Deductions” shall not include any fees, charges, expenses or other amounts paid by Licensee to third parties for advertising, promotional, marketing and like services or for content included within Adapted Games.

 

4.3                                 Royalties.  Licensee shall pay to Licensor royalties based on Licensee’s Net Revenues from the Commercial Exploitation by Licensee and its Sublicensees of the Adapted Games (“Payments”) calculated in accordance with the applicable royalty rate set forth in Appendix F, attached hereto.

 

4.4                                 Payment Terms.  Licensee shall make all Payments due and payable under Section 4.3 on a quarterly basis within forty-five (45) days after the last day of each calendar quarter.  All payments shall be made by wire transfer in U.S. dollars into Licensor’s bank account at Key Bank, 000 X.

connected with transferring Payments shall be borne by Licensee.  Licensee may not setoff against any Payments due and payable under Section 4.3 amounts that Licensee or any Sublicensee claims are due to it under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

4.5                                 Delay of Royalty Payment.  In case a Payment is not made within the forty-five (45) day period described in Section 4.4, such unpaid Payment will bear interest calculated at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, compounded daily, for the number of actual days that have elapsed between the date such Payment was due and the date it is paid or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower.

 

4.6                                 Quarterly Royalty Reports.  Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Licensee shall furnish to Licensor a written royalty report for the immediately preceding calendar quarter in the format set forth in Appendix G, attached hereto (each such report, a “Royalty Report”).  However, the first such Royalty Report shall cover the time period between the Effective Date and the end of the then-current calendar quarter.

 

4.7                                 Taxes.  All foreign, federal, state, county or municipal sales, use, excise or similar tax assessments, levies, fees or other charges assessed or charged on the payments by Licensee to Licensor hereunder shall be Licensor’s responsibility.  Except as required by law, Licensee shall not withhold any taxes, levies, fees or charges from any amounts payable to Licensor; provided, however, if Licensee is required by applicable law to withhold any amount for payment of taxes, levies, fees or charges, Licensee shall remit the amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities and provide Licensor with a written receipt from the tax authority for all such taxes, levies, fees or charges so withheld.  Licensee shall provide all assistance, documentation and information reasonably required for Licensor to obtain an exemption or reduced withholding tax rate.

 

4.8                                 Records.  During the Term and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, Licensee shall keep and maintain complete and accurate books, records and other customary documentation (and shall require its Sublicensees to maintain such books, records and other customary documentation) (collectively, “Royalty Records”) regarding Licensee’s and its Sublicensees’ Commercial Exploitation of the Adapted Games.  Such Royalty Records shall be in sufficient detail and shall include, without limitation, all data and information reasonably required to enable Licensor to confirm the information set forth in the Royalty Reports delivered to Licensor pursuant to Section 4.6 during the 2 year period prior to the audit.

 

4.9                                 Audit.  For the purpose of verifying the correctness of the Payments paid or to be paid by Licensee, Licensor may retain, at its own expense, not more than once during any calendar year, an independent nationally recognized certified public accountant (who shall not be compensated on a contingent fee basis) to audit the Royalty Records solely for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor will have the right to have an additional audit conducted within one (1) year following any occurrence of a Material Shortfall (defined below).  Licensor’s accountant may only conduct such an audit

 

8

 

upon a minimum of fifteen (15) days written notice prior to any audit; provided, that all audits are conducted during Licensee’s regular business hours and on Licensee’s premises.  Licensor’s accountant shall enter into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with Licensee, and shall deliver a copy of its audit report and related work papers simultaneously to Licensor and Licensee.  If any audit uncovers a shortfall in payments owed to Licensor hereunder, then Licensee shall immediately pay such shortfall to Licensor plus interest pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof on the amount past due.  If such shortfall exceeds five percent (5%) of the Payments due and payable to Licensor during the royalty period(s) in which the shortfall occurred (a “Material Shortfall”), Licensee shall, in addition, immediately reimburse Licensor the reasonable out-of-pocket costs paid by Licensor to the accountant in connection with conducting such an audit.

 

5.             QUALITY AND APPROVAL OF ADAPTED GAMES

 

5.1                                 Quality.  Licensee may itself create or have created Adapted Games.  Licensee agrees that the Adapted Games shall meet Licensor’s standards of quality, as reasonably determined and applied by Licensor.  Licensee shall not Commercially Exploit any new version of an Adapted Game, unless and until the same has been submitted to Licensor.

 

5.2                                 Quality Control Process.  At least ten (10) days prior to the commercial release or distribution of any Adapted Game, Licensee shall provide to Licensor: (A) the gold master of such Adapted Game, and (B) sample text and sample screen shots for such Game.  Licensor will have the right to test the Adapted Game on representative Mobile Telephony Devices on which such Adapted Game is designed to operate, including applicable Mobile Telephony Devices with the lowest functionality on which Licensee intends to distribute the Adapted Game.  If Licensor disapproves of any such Adapted Game, then (i) Licensor shall notify Licensee in writing within five (5) business days of receipt of such Adapted Game, which written notice shall specify in detail the basis for such disapproval; and (ii) Licensee shall promptly modify the Adapted Game so as to overcome Licensor’s written objections.  This procedure will be repeated with each submission until Licensor fails to provide a written notice of disapproval to Licensee within five (5) business days of receipt of a revised version of the Adapted Game.  Licensor may not disapprove any Adapted Game based on the failure of an Adapted Game to conform with the Tetris Design Guidelines if and to the extent it is impossible or commercially impracticable for Licensee to make such Adapted Game conform with the Tetris Design Guidelines due to a conflict with a Wireless Platform’s or Mobile Telephony Device’s technical requirements applicable to such Adapted Game.  Licensee shall not be required to submit to, or seek approval from, Licensor any ported, localized, updated or derivative version of a previously approved version of an Adapted Game.

 

5.3                                 Copies of Adapted Games.  Upon commercial release of any new version of an Adapted Game, Licensee shall provide to Licensor two copies of the same in a format mutually agreed upon by the parties.  Licensor shall have the absolute and unqualified right, at any time, to request samples of and to inspect each Adapted

 

9

 

Game (including any promotional materials) to ensure they meet Licensor’s commercially reasonable standard of quality.

 

5.4                                 Promotional Materials.  Licensor has the right to review and disapprove each new marketing, advertising, or promotional material (“Promotional Material”) that incorporates a Tetris Xxxx.  Licensee shall provide to Licensor a copy of such Promotional Material at least ten (10) days prior to any commercial release or public distribution of such Promotional Material.  If Licensor reasonably disapproves of any Promotional Material, then (i) Licensor shall notify Licensee in writing within five (5) business days of receipt of such Promotional Material, which written notice shall specify in detail the basis for such disapproval; and (ii) Licensee shall promptly modify such Promotional Material so as to overcome Licensor’s reasonable written objections.  This procedure will be repeated with each submission until Licensor fails to provide a written notice of disapproval to Licensee within five (5) business days of receipt of such Promotional Material.

 

6.             PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

 

6.1                                 Licensor’s Ownership Rights.  Licensor and its licensors exclusively own all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Properties, including all worldwide copyright rights, trademark rights and all other intellectual property or proprietary rights therein.  Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee expressly acknowledges and agrees that it will not challenge the validity of Licensor’s and its licensors’ ownership, proprietary or other rights or interests in the Game and the Licensed Properties.

6.3                                 Joint Ownership Rights.  Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 6.2, subject to and without limiting Licensor’s and its licensors’ rights and interests in and to the Licensed Properties, Licensor and Licensee shall jointly own all copyright rights, trademark rights and any other intellectual property or proprietary rights in any portion of the Licensee-Owned Developments that relate either to the “look and feel” of the Game or the play of the Game itself or become a new feature or function of the Game (“Jointly-Owned Developments”).  Accordingly, Licensee hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to Licensor, and agrees to irrevocably transfer and assign to Licensor, an undivided joint ownership interest in and to any Jointly-Owned Developments including all worldwide copyright rights, trademark rights and all other intellectual property or proprietary rights therein.  Licensee will

provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Licensor (and will cause its Sublicensees to provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Licensor) to enable Licensor to acquire and perfect Licensor’s joint ownership interests in and to any Jointly-Owned Developments, including but not limited to the execution of any documents as may reasonably be requested by Licensor.  Neither party will be entitled to any accounting of profits, royalties or other form of compensation with respect to the sale, distribution, licensing or other form of exploitation of any Jointly-Owned Developments; provided, however, that the foregoing provision will not be deemed to waive, limit or affect in any way Licensee’s obligation to make Payments to Licensor as required under Section 4.  In addition, subject to and without limiting Licensor’s and its licensors’ rights and interests in and to the Licensed Properties, neither party will require any form of consent, permission or other form of approval from the other party with respect to the sale, distribution, licensing or other form of exploitation of the Jointly-Owned Developments.

 

6.4                                 No Impairment.  Neither party shall by any act, or omission to act, impair or prejudice the intellectual property rights of the other party or the license of the rights granted by this Agreement; provided that the foregoing will not be deemed to limit either party’s rights at law, under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

6.5                                 Trademarks.

(b)                                 Licensee agrees not to use the Tetris Marks, unless the Tetris Marks are used in connection with the Adapted Games or in the promotion thereof.  Licensee may reference “TETRIS®” in informational materials about Licensee or its business, provided that such reference is in the same type-face as the surrounding text, and provided that “®” follows each reference to “TETRIS,” unless Licensor gives its written consent to any other use.

 

(c)                                  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way be deemed to apply to any trademarks held by Licensor other than the Tetris Marks.  Licensor expressly retains the exclusive right in and to all of its trademarks as against Licensee and any other persons.

(e)                                  All goodwill associated with Licensee’s use of the Tetris Marks shall inure solely to the benefit of Licensor and its licensors.  Licensee will at no time contest or aid in contesting the validity, enforceability or ownership of the Tetris Marks nor seek to register in any country the Tetris Marks or any trademark, trade name or other designation that is confusingly similar to the Tetris Marks.

 

(f)                                    Licensee agrees that Licensee’s compliance with the quality standards set forth in Section 5 above is a condition for its right to use the Tetris Marks pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(g)                                 Licensor agrees that during the Term, Licensor will use its commercially diligent efforts to maintain or have maintained all registrations in the Licensed Properties, including the Tetris Marks, in all jurisdictions in which any item of Licensed Property is registered as of the Effective Date.  For purposes of clarification, “maintain” or “have maintained” means payment of any applicable maintenance, renewal or registration fees.

 

6.6                                 Copyright Notice.  Licensee shall employ a proper copyright notice on all written advertisements, promotional items and graphics used in connection with the Adapted Games.  Such copyright notice shall also be displayed on the discs or other end user storage media, appropriate screens of the Adapted Games, user manuals and the box or container, if any, for each copy of the Adapted Games.  A sample of such copyright notice is set forth in Appendix H, attached hereto.

 

7.             CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

 

7.1                                 Confidential Information.  Licensor and Licensee acknowledge that all the following information that is provided in writing, or in any other tangible form, by a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) is confidential information (the “Confidential Information”):

 

(a)                                  Any non-public information disclosing any of the business practices of the Disclosing Party, including, without limitation, customer lists, pricing and marketing practices and plans and strategies, licensing revenue, Royalty Reports, Payments, and relationships with customers;

 

(b)                                 The design of the Game or the Adapted Games;

 

(c)                                  The Tetris Design Guidelines;

 

(d)                                 Any software code that is provided by the Disclosing Party in connection with this Agreement; and

 

(e)                                  The terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

12

 

7.2                                 Confidentiality.

 

(a)                                  The Receiving Party acknowledges that the Confidential Information has been and will be delivered to it by the Disclosing Party only for the limited purposes set forth hereunder.  Each party will keep all Confidential Information confidential and will not disclose it or permit its disclosure in any form to any person or entity other than as permitted hereunder.  Each party shall use every reasonable effort to ensure that its employees, contractors and other third parties to whom access to the Confidential Information is given comply with the obligations set forth in this Section 7.2.

 

(b)                                 The provisions of this Section 7.2 do not apply to any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault or breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; (ii) is rightfully known by the Receiving Party prior to the time of disclosure without an obligation of confidentiality; (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (iv) the Receiving Party rightfully obtains from a third party without restriction on use or disclosure.

 

(c)                                  Either party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to a third party for a reasonable business purpose (such as in connection with an offer by a third party to buy substantially all of the assets of such party), provided that an appropriate non-disclosure agreement is in place.

 

(d)                                 Either party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to comply with any disclosure obligations under any applicable law or regulation, including, but not limited to, any securities laws or regulations; provided, that the Disclosing Party agrees to seek confidential treatment of the terms and conditions of this Agreement under any applicable law or regulation or otherwise to have such terms and conditions be held in confidence to the extent permitted under such law or regulation.

 

(e)                                  In the event that a party hereto is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to an order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, such party shall provide the Disclosing Party prompt written notice of the order in advance of such disclosure so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective or confidential order or other relief.  In addition, the party required to make such a disclosure will limit the disclosure to the information legally required to be so disclosed.

 

7.3                                 Injunctive Relief.  Each party acknowledges and agrees that the unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use of Confidential Information by the Receiving Party, its employees, agents or contractors, may cause the Disclosing Party irreparable harm for which its remedies at law will be inadequate.  In such event, the Disclosing Party will therefore have the right, in addition to any other remedies

 

13

 

available to it, to obtain immediate injunctive relief to enjoin any breach or threatened breach of the receiving party’s obligations set forth in this Section 7.

8.5                                 Licensor’s Intellectual Property Warranty.  Licensor represents and warrants that the Licensed Properties do not and will not misappropriate or infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to patent, copyright, trademark, service xxxx, trade secret, or other proprietary right.  In the event that Licensor becomes aware (or Licensee provides Licensor with written notice) that an item of the Licensed Properties is the object of any misappropriation or infringement claim or suit, Licensor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure, at Licensor’s reasonable expense, the right to use such Licensed Property.

 

8.6                                 Licensee’s Intellectual Property Warranty.  Licensee and its Sublicensees represent and warrant to Licensor that all portions of the Adapted Games (except for the Licensed Properties) shall not misappropriate or infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to patent, copyright, trademark, service xxxx, trade secret, or other proprietary right.

 

14

 

8.7                                 Exceptions.  Licensor’s representations and warranties in Section 8.3 shall not apply: (a) with respect to the Tetris Marks in countries in which Licensor’s licensors do not possess a registration of the Tetris Marks in the trademark class that includes Mobile Telephony Devices or the Adapted Games; and (b) with respect to the copyrights in the Adapted Games in countries that are not members of the Universal Copyright Convention.

 

8.8                                 No Other Warranties.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 8, LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OF A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT.

 

8.9                                 Mutual Indemnification.  Each party (an “indemnifying party “) hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party (the “indemnified party”) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including legal expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of any third-party claim based on the indemnifying party’s (which, as to Licensee will include its Sublicensees): (a) failure to fulfill or breach of any obligation under this Agreement; or (b) breach of any representation or warranty it has made in this Agreement (or, as to Licensee’s Sublicensees, any representation or warranty that a Sublicensee makes under the applicable Sublicense Agreement).  In any instance that Licensee is the indemnifying party, JAMDAT will be jointly and severally liable with Licensee for Licensee’s indemnity obligations as set forth herein.  In any instance that Licensor is the indemnifying party, the Acknowledging Party will be jointly and severally liable with Licensor for Licensor’s indemnity obligations as set forth herein.  In the event of a claim for which a party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the indemnified party shall: (i) give the indemnifying party prompt written notice of the relevant claim; (ii) reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s expense, in the defense of any such claim; and (iii) give the indemnifying party the right to control the defense and settlement of any such claim; provided, that, Licensee agrees that Licensor will have the right to retain control of the defense and settlement of any claim that is asserted against Licensee (or that is asserted against Licensor and Licensee, either jointly or severally) to the extent such claim relates in all material respects to the goodwill or reputation of Licensor, or Licensor’s or its licensor’s rights in the Licensed Properties.  In no event shall the indemnifying party enter into any settlement that affects the indemnified party’s rights or interests without the indemnified party’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The indemnified party shall have the right to retain counsel, at the indemnified party’s sole expense, to participate in the defense of any claim tendered by the indemnified party hereunder.

 

9.             PROSECUTION OF INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS

 

9.1                                 Prosecution of Infringement Claims.  Each party shall notify the other party immediately of any infringement or counterfeit of an Adapted Game that becomes known to such party (a “Prosecutable Infringement Clam”).  If Licensee chooses

 

15

 

to prosecute any such Prosecutable Infringement Claim, Licensee shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by Licensee (collectively, “Litigation Costs”), but Licensor shall have the right to participate, at Licensor’s expense, in prosecuting any such Prosecutable Infringement Claim.  If Licensee recovers any damages, settlements or other as a result of prosecuting such an action (collectively, “Damages”), Licensee shall first be entitled to reimbursement from such Damages for any Litigation Costs.  The remaining portion of such Damages, if any, will be treated as Licensee’s Net Revenue pursuant to Section 4.2 (except that Licensee will have no right to deduct any Permitted Deductions or other amounts from such Damages), and Licensee will pay Licensor the applicable royalty based on such Net Revenues in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2.  If Licensee chooses not to prosecute a Prosecutable Infringement Claim, Licensor shall have the right to prosecute such Prosecutable Infringement Claim.  Each party shall provide the other party with such reasonable assistance and cooperation as is needed to prosecute any such Prosecutable Infringement Claim and will supply the other party, at such other party’s sole expense, with all documents and other information that are reasonably necessary to prosecute any such Prosecutable Infringement Claim.

 

10.           TERM AND TERMINATION

 

10.1                           Term.  This Agreement commences as of the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall remain in force and effect for an initial term of fifteen (15) years (the “Initial Term”).  At the end of the Initial Term, Licensee shall have a one-time option to renew this Agreement (the “Renewal Option”) for an additional three (3) year renewal term (the “Renewal Term”) by paying Licensor, no later than four (4) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in cash as a non-refundable, fully recoupable advance against future royalties payable by Licensee during the Renewal Term.  If Licensee elects not to exercise the Renewal Option (a “License ROFN Condition”), Licensee shall have a one-time right of first negotiation, as set forth in Section 10.2, to acquire a new license to Commercially Exploit the Adapted Games.  The Initial Term and the Renewal Term, if any, are referred to collectively as the “Term”.

 

10.2                           Right of First Negotiation as to a New License.

 

(a)                                  In the event of a License ROFN Condition (as defined in Section 10.1 above), prior to commencing discussions with any third party regarding the negotiation of a license to Commercially Exploit the Adapted Games (a “New License”), Licensor will first notify Licensee thereof in writing (the “New License ROFN Notice”) and offer Licensee the one-time opportunity to negotiate such New License.  Licensee will have ten (10) days following the receipt of the New License ROFN Notice (the “New License ROFN Period”) to notify Licensor that it is interested in commencing such negotiations.

 

16

 

(b)                                 If Licensee notifies Licensor prior to the expiration of the New License ROFN Period that it is interested in commencing such negotiations, then the parties will, in good faith, attempt to negotiate the terms and conditions of such New License; provided, however, that Licensor shall not, during any such discussions with Licensee, inform, offer, negotiate or enter into a New License with another party.  If Licensor and Licensee fail to execute such New License within a reasonable time following the commencement of negotiations, but in any event, within forty five (45) days, then, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, Licensor will have the right to terminate discussions with Licensee regarding a New License and shall be free to enter into negotiations with parties other than Licensee in respect to such a New License; provided, that in no event shall the material terms (i.e., consideration, royalties, term, exclusivity, scope of license) of any agreement entered into with a party other than Licensee in respect of such a New License be (in the aggregate) more favorable to such party than the corresponding terms last offered to Licensee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.2.

 

(c)                                  If Licensee fails to respond to Licensor prior to the expiration of the New License ROFN Period or if Licensee notifies Licensor prior to the expiration of the New License ROFN Period that it is not interested in commencing such negotiations, then Licensor will have no further obligation to Licensee under this Section 10.2 or otherwise with respect to such New License and Licensee’s right to negotiate a New License will automatically terminate.

 

(d)                                 Nothing in this Section 10.2 or otherwise obligates Licensor to enter into a New License with Licensee, provided that Licensor has complied with its obligations as set forth in this Section 10.2.

 

10.3                           Termination for Breach.  Each party will have the right to terminate this Agreement if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such material breach within thirty (30) days following the non-breaching party’s written notice thereof.

 

10.4                           Termination for Breach of Purchase Agreement.  Licensor will have the right to terminate this Agreement if Licensee or JAMDAT breaches Section 2.2(a) (Sales Consideration) of the Purchase Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after Licensor’s written notice thereof.

 

10.5                           Termination Upon Discontinuance of Commercial Exploitation.  This Agreement shall terminate automatically twelve (12) months after Licensee and its Sublicensees have discontinued Commercial Exploitation of all Adapted Games.

 

10.6                           Effect of Termination.  Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement:

 

(a)                                  Subject to the provisions of Section 10.7, all rights and licenses granted to Licensee under this Agreement will immediately terminate and Licensee

 

17

 

will cease use and Commercial Exploitation of (and will ensure that its Sublicensees cease use of) all Licensed Properties;

 

(b)                                 Licensee will pay to Licensor any and all accrued and unpaid amounts due to Licensor under Section 4.3 in accordance with Section 4.4;

 

(c)                                  Licensee will promptly return to Licensor (and will not retain any copies, electronic or otherwise of), and will ensure that its Sublicensees promptly return to Licensor (and not retain any copies, electronic or otherwise of) all Licensed Properties in Licensee’s or in its Sublicensees’ possession or control, (except that Licensee and each Sublicensee may retain one (1) archival copy of such materials); and

 

(d)                                 each party will promptly return to Disclosing Party all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in such party’s possession or control.

 

10.7                           Post-Termination “Sell-off” Rights.  Following the expiration or termination of this Agreement (the “End Date”), Licensee shall have the following rights with respect to the continued Commercial Exploitation of Adapted Games hereunder:

 

(a)                                  for a period of twelve (12) months following the End Date (the “Sell-Off Period”), the right to:

 

(i)                                     have manufactured pursuant to agreements entered into at least six (6) months prior to the End Date, Mobile Telephony Devices containing embedded copies of the Adapted Games; and

 

(ii)                                  sell and distribute (x) Mobile Telephony Devices with embedded Adapted Games and (y) physical media devices (including without limitation, SD, MMC and similar such cards) containing Adapted Games; and

 

(b)                                 the right to continue to make available to end users, pursuant to the terms of end user license agreements covering the Mobile Telephony Devices entered into during the Term (a “Qualified End User”) the Adapted Games; and specifically and without limitation, the right to allow:

 

(i)                                     Qualified End Users who have licensed Adapted Games on a subscription basis (which subscription is measured either by the number of minutes of game play, amount of airtime, expiration date, number of downloads or similar measure) to use the Adapted Games pursuant to the terms of their end user license agreements until the expiration or earlier termination of such agreements; and

 

(ii)                                  Licensee (and its Sublicensees) to distribute the Adapted Games to such Qualified End Users until the expiration or earlier termination the applicable end user license agreements.

Licensee shall continue to make Payments so long as it is exercising its Sell-Off Rights in accordance with this Section 10.8.
