                  Property, any and all modifications, enhancements and, subject
                  to the provisions of Section 8.3, derivative works thereof and
                  all Intellectual Property Rights (as defined in Section 8.l)
                  embodied therein and related thereto. Licensee shall not by
                  any act, or omission to act impair or prejudice the
                  Intellectual Property Rights of Activision (or, as applicable,
                  its licensor) in the Activision Property or violate any moral
                  rights or deal with the Activision Property so that any third
                  party might obtain any lien or other right of whatever nature
                  incompatible with the Intellectual Property Rights of
                  Activision (or, as applicable, its licensor). Licensee agrees
                  to notify Activision of any known or suspected violation or
                  infringement of Activision's Intellectual Property Rights in

2.       DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRODUCT:

         2.1      Licensee agrees to create the product at its sole cost and
                  expense pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
                  Agreement. Subject to Activision's approval rights set forth
                  in Section 2 hereof, Licensee shall assume full responsibility
                  for the creation and development of the Product. Activision
                  agrees to cooperate with and assist Licensee in the
                  development of the Product by providing Licensee, to the
                  extent necessary, with audio and visual assets and computer
                  code for the Activision Property solely to assist Licensee in
                  developing the Product.

         2.2      Licensee agrees that it shall treat all information received
                  hereunder as confidential in accordance with Section 12 of
                  this Agreement. Licensee represents that it has caused or will
                  cause each of its employees having access to Activision's
                  information and materials hereunder to execute a
                  non-disclosure/con-fidentiality agreement sufficient to
                  protect Activision's confidential information. Licensee also
                  shall require all independent contractors having access to any
                  Activision information and materials in connection herewith to
                  become subject to and be bound by the confidentiality
                  provisions of this Agreement and to execute a confidentiality
                  agreement, the form of which is set forth on Schedule E
                  attached hereto. In. the event that any employee or
                  independent contractor of Licensee breaches its
                  confidentiality obligations with respect to Activision's
                  information and materials hereunder, Licensee will not be
                  deemed to be in breach of its obligations under this
                  Agreement, provided that Licensee timely proceeds to

                                       2


                  enforce such confidentiality obligations against the employee
                  or independent contractor. Licensee agrees that in the event
                  any employee or contractor of License having access to any
                  Activision information and materials in connection herewith
                  breaches confidentiality obligations undertaken by Licensee
                  pursuant to this Agreement, and Licensee does not timely
                  commence an action to prevent the unauthorized dissemination
                  of confidential information, Activision shall have the right
                  to proceed on behalf of Licensee against the party engaged in
                  such unauthorized disclosure of information, including,
                  without limitation, the right to seek injunctive and other
                  equitable relief. In connection therewith, Licensee agrees to
                  assign to Activision its legal right to proceed against the
                  party engaged in such unauthorized disclosure of information,
                  and will execute any documents reasonably required by
                  Activision to evidence such assignment.

         2.3      Licensee agrees to develop the Product in conformance with
                  commonly accepted standards for high-quality computer and
                  video game software. Licensee and Activision acknowledge and
                  agree that the conversion of the Activision Property may
                  require certain modifications to the gameplay of the
                  Activision Property to accommodate the features arid
                  limitations of the Converted Platform, which modifications
                  shall be subject to the prior written approval of Activision,
                  which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Licensee will
                  perform all development and other services required hereunder
                  at its offices. Licensee's development team assigned to the
                  development of the Product will consist of fully-qualified
                  employees of Licensee, who will devote such time to the
                  development of the Product as is necessary to complete such
                  Product on time and in a manner which conforms to the
                  standards required by this Agreement. In the event Licensee
                  wishes to utilize the services of a third party developer
                  ("Outside Developer") in connection with the development of
                  the Product, then the following shall apply: (a) such Outside
                  Developer shall be subject to the prior written approval of
                  Activision, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; (b)
                  Licensee's engagement of such Outside Developer shall be
                  subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement and (c)
                  Licensee shall remain primarily liable to Activision at all
                  times for Outside Developer's conduct and for the completion
                  of the development of the Product.

         2.4      Licensee agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to
                  complete the Product promptly following the execution of this
                  Agreement, but will complete the Product by no later than
                  (****) following the Effective Date in any event, provided
                  that this (****) deadline shall be subject to the timely
                  fulfillment by Activision of its obligations relating to
                  cooperation, assistance and approvals as specifically set
                  forth in this Agreement. For the purpose of facilitating
                  Activision's approval of the Product as set forth in Section
                  2.5 below, Licensee shall submit process reports as may be
                  reasonably requested by Activision during the development and
                  production of the Product, and shall submit for Activision's
                  review and approval current "builds" (as such term is commonly
                  understood in

                  the entertainment software industry) of the Product as set
                  forth in Section 7. Licensee shall incorporate any changes
                  requested by Activision after review of such "builds" into the
                  Product, provided however that Activision shall not request
                  changes which are inconsistent with the design document which
                  is approved by Activision pursuant to Section 2.5. All
                  progress reports, "builds" and other material and information
                  submitted to Activision by Licensee under this Section 2.4
                  shall constitute confidential information of Licensee subject
                  to the provisions of Section 12.


         2.5      Licensee agrees that the Product shall be of the standard
                  customary to high-quality products in the entertainment
                  software industry and of such style, appearance and quality as
                  shall, in the judgment of Activision, be adequate and suited
                  to its exploitation to the best advantage and to the
                  protection and enhancement of the Activision Property and the
                  goodwill pertaining thereto; that the Product shall be
                  manufactured, packaged, sold, distributed, advertised and
                  serviced in accordance with all applicable laws; that the
                  policy of sale, distribution, and/or exploitation by Licensee
                  shall be of the equivalent standard customary to high-quality
                  products in the entertainment industry; and that the same
                  shall in no manner reflect adversely upon the Activision
                  Property or Activision. Licensee further agrees that all
                  rights granted herein shall be exploited or exercised so as
                  not to interfere with, detract from, or alter in any respect
                  the concepts used by Activision or known to the public in
                  connection with the Activision Property, and that Licensee
                  shall use its best efforts to preserve such concepts therein.
                  Accordingly, Licensee agrees to submit the Product, all
                  associated packaging and documentation, and all marketing
                  materials to be utilized in connection with the advertising,
                  marketing and promotion of the Product to Activision for
                  Activision's prior approval or disapproval. Licensee shall
                  submit "builds" of the Product for Activision's approva1 at:
                  (a) the initial concept and design document stage (it being
                  understood that at such stage, Activision shall have the right
                  to approve such concept and the final design document); (b)
                  upon implementation of the art constituting the main gameplay
                  elements of the Product; (c) Licensee's alpha and beta
                  development stages; and (d) at its final pre-gold master stage
                  (as such terms &c commonly understood in the entertainment
                  software industry). Any version of the Product created by
                  Licensee shall not be distributed or otherwise utilized by
                  Licensee without first obtaining the written approval of
                  Activision (and, as necessary, the third parties set forth in
                  Section 2.6 as to the final form, content and quality of the
                  Product and all associated packaging and documentation
                  therefor as well as the title to be used by Licensee in
                  connection with the distribution of the Product. Activision
                  shall use reasonable efforts to approve materials submitted by
                  Licensee within (****) business days alter receipt, which
                  approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Licensee agrees
                  to make such changes as will be reasonably required to correct
                  any deficiencies noted by Activision promptly upon receipt of
                  such notice. This

                  procedure will be repeated with each submission until
                  Activision determines that its request for changes has been
                  met.

         2.6      Activision and Licensee acknowledge and agree that the
                  Product, including any packaging and marketing materials
                  created by Licensee to be used in connection with the Product,
                  shall also be subject to the approval of Sony Electronic
                  Publishing Co. and/or any of its affiliates, parent companies,
                  or subsidiaries (collectively "Sony") and NNP, Inc. and/or its

                  Licensee agrees to make and/or implement any and all changes
                  to the Product that may be required by Sony and NNP. Licensee
                  further agrees that all materials relating to the Product
                  requiring NNP's approval will be processed solely through
                  Activision for submission to NNP, rather than directly from
                  Licensee to NNP.

                  shall contain a notice indicating that the Product is produced

         5.4      Payments of the Advance and all Royalties for all units of the
                  Product distributed by Licensee shall be made in United States
                  Dollars solely by wire transfer to a bank account designated
                  by Activision. Payment of the Advance and all Royalties to
                  Activision shall be made without deduction, reduction or
                  set-off of any kind whatsoever, except solely that Licensee
                  shall be entitled to deduct any unrecouped portion of the
                  Advance from Royalties which may be due at the time such
                  Royalties are otherwise due and payable to Activision.

         5.5      Within (****) days after the end of each calendar quarter
                  during the Term of this Agreement, commencing with the
                  calendar quarter during which the first unit of the Product is
                  shipped by Licensee, Licensee shall furnish Activision with an
                  accounting statement of the Royalties earned and an account of
                  the manufacture and sale of the Product hereunder, together
                  with payment for any amount shown thereby to be due to
                  Activision. The Royalty statement shall be based upon
                  distribution of units of the Product during the calendar
                  quarter then ended, and shall be sufficient to discern how the
                  Royalties, if any, due to Activision were computed.

         5.6      For the avoidance of doubt the parties acknowledge and agree
                  that Licensee shall not be entitled to withhold any portion of
                  the Royalties as a reserve.

         5.7      All payments of the Royalties to Activision will be made
                  without deduction or withholding for any foreign, national,
                  state or local sales, use, value added, withholding or other
                  taxes, custom duties, or similar tariffs and fees. Should any
                  tax or levy be made in connection therewith, Licensee agrees
                  to pay such tax or levy and indemnify Activision for any claim
                  for such tax or levy demanded.

         5.8      Activision will have the right at least twice annually during
                  the term of this Agreement to have independent auditors
                  examine Licensee's books, records and accounts for the purpose
                  of verifying payment to Activision hereunder. Each such
                  examination will be upon at least five (5) business days prior
                  written notice to Licensee and will not unreasonably interfere
                  with Licensee's business. If any examination discloses a
                  shortfall in any Royalty payment due Activision of more than
                  (****), Licensee will pay the fee of the auditors for that
                  examination, in

     Exchange Commission.

                                       6


                  addition to the payment of such shortfall, and Activision will
                  be entitled to perform an additional examination
                  within (****) from the date of the examination that disclosed
                  such shortfall. All information (other than information
                  pertaining to Royalties due to Activision) learned by, or
                  disclosed to, Activision or its agent as a result of any such
                  audit shall constitute Licensee's confidential information,
                  and any person who conducts such audit will therefore, be
                  required to execute a non-disclosure agreement reasonably
                  satisfactory to Licensee, that prohibits the unauthorized use
                  or disclosure to third parties of Licensee's confidential
                  information.

6.       CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND MARKETING COMMITMENTS:

         6.1      Licensee shall commence marketing and public distribution of
                  the Product immediately following the final approval thereof
                  by Activision in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         6.2      Licensee shall use diligent, good faith efforts to market and
                  promote the distribution of the Product in the Territory.
                  Subject to Activision's approval rights in connection with
                  marketing materials set forth in Section 2.5, Licensee shall
                  consult with Activision regarding the marketing and promotion
                  of the Product. Licensee shall not distribute the Product as a
                  premium or giveaway or in connection with the sale or
                  promotion of any other products or services.

         6.3      Activision will provide Licensee with a reasonable amount of
                  artwork from the packaging and promotional materials utilized
                  by Activision in connection with the Activision Property for
                  Licensee's use in the creation of packaging and promotional
                  materials for the Product, subject to Activision's approval
                  rights of such materials as set forth in Section 2.5 of this
                  Agreement.

         6.4      Licensee will be responsible for determining the suggested
                  retail price at which the Product will be offered for sale to
                  the general public.

         6.5      Licensee shall provide technical support to all dealers and
                  customers in the Territory who obtain the Product, the
                  standard of such support to be commensurate with the generally
                  accepted highest level of support in the entertainment
                  software industry in the Territory, including without
                  limitation telephone and fax support to be provided by
                  Licensee via telephone numbers to which customers may call
                  during Licensee's normal business hours or fax in order to
                  have their technical questions about the Product answered.
                  ACTIVISION SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, NOR SHALL ACTIVISION
                  PROVIDE, CUSTOMER SUPPORT OF ANY KIND IN CONNECTION WITH THE
                  PRODUCT. Activision shall refer any and all technical support
                  requests in connection with the Product to Licensee, and
                  Licensee shall reimburse Activision for any reasonable, actual
                  costs incurred by Activision in connection with any

     Exchange Commission.

                                       7


                  technical support of the Product by Activision necessitated by
                  Licensee's failure to provide adequate customer support.

         6.6      Licensee shall bear the costs of submitting the Product to any
                  rating authorities of the Territory, along with any rating,
                  fees or administrative payments that become due.

7.       CONVERSION OF THE PRODUCT TO OTHER PLATFORMS:

         7.1      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
                  Activision shall have during and after the Term of this
                  Agreement the unlimited right to convert, or license to third
                  parties the right to convert, the Activision Property and any
                  gameplay elements of the Product for use on any and all
                  operating systems and platforms other than the Converted
                  Platform and to produce, develop, manufacture, advertise,
                  promote and distribute such converted product in any and all
                  portions of the Territory without any obligation to Licensee
                  whatsoever; provided, however, Activision will not be
                  permitted to utilize any of information in furtherance of or
                  in connection with, such activities.

8.       INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS:

         8.1      For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Intellectual
                  Property Rights" means patent rights, inventions, know-how,
                  and registrations and applications, renewals and extensions
                  therefor, all works of authorship, copyrights and
                  copyrightable work product or elements (including, but not
                  limited to, all titles, computer code, themes, objects,
                  characters, character names, stories, dialog, catch phrases,
                  locations, concepts, artwork, animation, designs, sounds,
                  musical compositions, audio-visual effects and methods of
                  operation and play, moral rights and related documentation),
                  copyright registrations and applications, renewals and
                  extensions therefor, trademark registrations and applications,
                  renewals and extensions therefor, rights in trade dress and
                  packaging, goodwill, trade and other intellectual property and
                  other proprietary rights recognized by the US laws, laws in
                  the Territory, and other applicable foreign and international
                  laws, treaties and conventions.

         8.2      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
                  Agreement Activision or, as applicable, its licensor shall at
                  all times be and remain the sole and exclusive owner of the
                  Activision Property and all Intellectual Property Rights
                  pertaining thereto. Without limiting the generality of the
                  foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to grant
                  Licensee any proprietary or ownership interest or Intellectual
                  Property Rights in or to the Activision Property.

         8.3      Notwithstanding the foregoing, Activision acknowledges and
                  agrees that it has no right, title and/or interest in and to
                  the work undertaken by Licensee to develop the Product,
                  including, without limitation, (a) computer software, code,
                  routines, tools, algorithms and the like which generate any of
                  the audio-visual assets or other gameplay elements contained
                  in the Product, (b) all originally created art,


                                       8



                  sound, music, and other assets and designs embodied in the
                  Product, or any reproduction thereof, (a) the technical and/or
                  maintenance documentation of or concerning the Product, and
                  (d) the related instruction manuals and packaging for the
                  Product, including all protectable trade dress contained in
                  such packaging (collectively, the "Work Product"), to the
                  extent the Work Product does not include any portion of the
                  Activision Property or any artwork, assets or other materials
                  supplied by Activision (collectively, "Activision Materials").
                  The Work Product shall be owned by Licensee to the extent such
                  does not include any of the Activision Materials, all right,
                  title and interest to which shall be owned exclusively by
                  Activision or, as applicable, its licensor. Subject to
                  Activision's or its licensor's ownership of the Activision
                  Materials, Licensee shall have all rights, title and interests
                  in and to the Product and the Work Product, and all
                  Intellectual Property Rights pertaining thereto.

         8.4      The Activision Property is licensed, not sold, by Activision
                  to Licensee, and nothing in this Agreement will be interpreted
                  or construed as a sale or purchase of any copy of the
                  Activision Property, including but not limited to any use of a
                  "purchase order" by Licensee in connection with the
                  transactions contemplated hereunder. Furthermore, any
                  distribution or delivery of the Product by Licensee to any
                  sublicensee (including, without limitation, subdistributors
                  and end-users) will be by license and not by sale.
                  Accordingly, Licensee acknowledges that the "First Sale
                  Doctrine" (as embodied in 17 U.S.C., Section 109 of the United
                  States Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, or the equivalent
                  law or statute in the Territory) does not apply to Licensee's
                  acquisition of rights in and to the Activision Property
                  hereunder or to any sublicensee's acquisition of rights in and
                  to the Product under any agreement between Licensee and a
                  sublicensee.

9.       TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS: ACTIVISION'S TITLE AND GOODWILL:

         9.1      Licensee agrees to place in the Product, on the packaging and
                  related documentation and marketing materials all copyright
                  notices, logos and designations in the form and manner
                  directed by Activision. Activision's logo shall be at least
                  equal in size to other logos featured in the Product,
                  documentation and marketing materials, including Licensee's
                  logo. Without limiting Activision's other approval rights set
                  forth in this Agreement, Activision's specific approval is
                  required on the placement of Activision's logo, copyright
                  notices and designations. Except as provided in Section 8.3,
                  all copyrights, trademarks and service marks relating to the
                  subject matter of this Agreement are, will be and shall remain
                  the sole property of Activision (or, if applicable, its
                  Licensor and other contractors). Licensee shall create,
                  execute and deliver to Activision all documents and
                  instruments required by Activision for the protection of or
                  otherwise in connection with the copyrights, trademarks and
                  service marks of Activision (or, if applicable, its licensor
                  and other contractors). Licensee shall not have the right to
                  use Activision's (or, if applicable, its licensor's and other
                  contractors') trademarks or trade names except in connection

                                       9


                  with the promotion and distribution of the Product in the
                  Territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         9.2      Licensee acknowledges that Activision or, as applicable, its
                  licensor, is the owner of all right, title and interest in and
                  to the Activision Property, and further acknowledges the great
                  value of the goodwill associated with the Activision Property
                  and that the Activision Property has acquired secondary
                  meaning in the mind of the public and that the trademarks and
                  copyrights included in the Activision Property, and the
                  registrations therefor, are valid and subsisting, and further
                  agrees that it shall not during the Term of this Agreement or
                  at any time thereafter do or cause to be done any act which in
                  any way may impair, harm or bring into disrepute Activision's
                  or its licensor's exclusive rights and title to the Activision
                  Property, as well as any properties owned by Activision which
                  are not licensed hereunder, or the validity thereof or the
                  validity of this Agreement, and shall not assist others in so
                  doing.

         9.3      Licensee shall not in any manner represent that it has any
                  ownership in the Activision Property, or in any trademarks or
                  copyrights included in the Activision Property (or
                  registrations therefor), but may, only during the Term of this
                  Agreement, and only if Licensee has complied with any and all
                  applicable laws and registration requirements within the
                  Territory for so doing, represent that it is a "licensee" or
                  "official licensee" hereunder. Licensee shall not register or
                  attempt to register any copyright or trademark in the
                  Activision Property, in its own name or that of any third
                  party, nor shall it assist any third party in doing so.

10.      REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS:

         10.1     Licensee hereby warrants arid represents that Licensee has the
                  right and power and is free to enter into and fully perform
                  this Agreement, without approval from any governmental entity
                  or third party other than as has been or, if later imposed,
                  will be obtained.

         10.2     Licensee further warrants and represents that any information
                  or materials developed in connection with the development of
                  the Product hereunder shall not rely, or in any way be based
                  upon, proprietary information or Intellectual Property Rights
                  obtained or derived by Licensee from sources other than
                  Activision, unless Licensee has received specific
                  authorization or license in writing from any such source to
                  use such information or rights in connection with the
                  development of the Product.

         10.3     Licensee further warrants and represents that any materials
                  developed by Licensee pursuant to this Agreement will not
                  infringe upon or misappropriate the Intellectual Property
                  Rights (with respect to patent rights, Licensee's
                  representation herein shall be limited to Licensee's best
                  knowledge) or any other legal rights of any third party
                  through any act or omission to act of Licensee hereunder.
                  Should any aspect of the Product become, or, in Activision's
                  opinion, is likely to become, the object of any infringement
                  or misappropriation claim or

                                       10



                  suit arising out of any act or omission to act of Licensee,
                  Licensee will procure, at Licensee's expense, the right to use
                  the Product in all respects, or will replace or modify the
                  affected Product to make it non-infringing.

         10.4     Licensee hereby covenants to put forth its commercially
                  reasonable efforts to diligently market, distribute and
                  promote the Product at Licensee's sole cost and expense.

         10.5     Licensee hereby further covenants not to sell the Product to
                  any party who it knows, or reasonably should know, will
                  infringe Activision's Intellectual Property Rights in the
                  Product.

         10.6     Licensee hereby further covenants to: (a) conduct its business
                  in a manner that reflects favorably at all times on the
                  Activision Property, the Product and the good name, goodwill
                  and reputation of Activision; (b) avoid deceptive, misleading
                  or unethical practices, that are or might be detrimental to
                  Activision, the Activision Property, the Product or the

                           deduction of actual, documented marketing and sales
                           expenses) of the. Product; (b) purchase from Licensee
                           all of Licensee's existing inventory of the Product

                           of a royalty to Licensee, which such royalty to
                           Licensee may be used to recoup all sums paid by
                           Activision to Licensee pursuant to Section 11.1.3(a)
                           (payable on the same basis, including without
                           limitation the royalty rate payable, as the Royalty
                           is paid to Activision pursuant to the terms of this
                           Agreement); and (d) further assume any obligation on
                           the part of Licensee to pay advances to any Outside
                           Developer in connection with the Product (provided
                           that Licensee provides Activision with written
                           documentation of such royalty obligations). Upon such
                           termination by Activision, all of Licensee's rights
                           in and to the Product shall terminate and be deemed
                           immediately transferred to Activision, and Licensee
                           will deliver to Activision a complete asset package
                           for the Product and all associated packaging and
                           documentation, including without limitation, source
                           code for the Product.

                  11.1.4.  Activision shall have the right to terminate this
                           Agreement immediately after (****) prior notice to
                           Licensee in the event Licensee (a) fails to pay any
                           portion of the Advance when due, (b) fails to pay
                           Royalties and/or make Royalty accountings to
                           Activision in accordance with the terms of this
                           Agreement, or (c) has underpaid Royalties owing to
                           Activision by more than (****), any event of which
                           shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement
                           by Licensee, and Licensee fails to cure the material
                           breach within such (****) notice period.

         11.2     The right to terminate this Agreement as set forth above shall
                  be in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedy,
                  right, undertaking, obligation or agreement of either party.
                  No waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement
                  shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach
                  hereof.

         11.3     The parties agree that if as of the expiration of the Term or
                  as of the date this Agreement is terminated due to Licensee's
                  uncured breach or otherwise pursuant to Section 11.1, Licensee
                  has failed to pay any portion of the Advance to Activision, or
                  any Royalties have accrued to Activision, then without
                  limiting Activision's other rights and remedies, Licensee
                  shall promptly pay Activision the remaining balance of such
                  Advance or such Royalties in full.

         11.4     The parties agree that in case of expiration or early
                  termination of this Agreement, all Licensee's rights related
                  to the Activision Property shall cease as of the date of such
                  expiration or termination, any and all other rights granted to

                  pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately and automatically
                  terminate without prejudice to any rights or claims Activision
                  may have, and all rights granted to Licensee in this Agreement
                  shall immediately revert to and be vested in Activision except
                  that Licensee, for a period of (****) only. may distribute
                  such units of the Product in Licensee's possession, provided
                  that such termination is not the result of Licensee's breach
                  and Licensee continues to promptly provide full accountings
                  and make full payments to Activision with respect to all
                  Royalties then due and in connection with such additional
                  sales. Licensee agrees not to stockpile units of the Product
                  or manufacture units of the Product in excess of reasonable
                  market demand in anticipation of such expiration or early
                  termination.

         11.5     Upon expiration or early termination of this Agreement,
                  Licensee shall promptly and automatically return to Activision
                  any property of Activision then in its possession or under its
                  control.

         11.6     No termination or cancellation of this Agreement by either
                  party shall in any way affect or impair Activision's rights to
                  develop, publish, manufacture, and distribute the Activision
                  Property or any derivative work or other version of the
                  Activision Property in the Territory, provided that such
                  derivative work or other version of the Activision Property
                  does not utilize any of Licensee's Work Product.

         11.7     Licensee acknowledges and agrees that if Activision terminates
                  this Agreement for a material breach, Activision shall have
                  the right to terminate any other Agreement with Licensee. In
                  addition, Licensee acknowledges that if Activision terminates
                  for material breach any other Agreement between Activision and
                  Licensee, or if Licensee uses the Activision Property or any
                  part thereof beyond the scope of the license granted herein or
                  uses any properties owned by Activision which are not licensed
                  to Licensee, Activision shall have the right to terminate this
                  Agreement. In either event, Activision's right, to terminate
                  shall be effective upon written notice to Licensee.

                  same care that it uses to protect its own confidential
                  information of like importance, to prevent unauthorized
                  dissemination and disclosure of the other party's confidential

                  suits, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses (including
                  costs of suit and attorneys' fees) (collectively, "Claims")
                  arising out of Licensee's breach of this Agreement or any
                  representations or warranties contained herein.

         13.2     Activision shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee
                  and its officers, directors, agents and employees from and
                  against any Claims arising out of Activision's breach of this

                  to the other party ("requested party") specifying all details
                  relevant thereto. The requested party may, at its option,
                  assume the defense of a Claim, in which event the requesting
                  party will cooperate fully in such defense and may participate
                  in such defense with counsel of its own choice, provided that
                  the requesting party will be responsible for all expenses
                  relating to such separate counsel. If the requested party
                  assumes the defense of a Claim, its obligation will be limited
                  to paying the attorneys' fees, costs and expenses associated
                  with such defense (except as otherwise expressly provided
                  herein) and holding harmless the requesting party from and
                  against any judgment paid on account of such Claim or monetary
                  settlement the requested party has made (with the requesting
                  party's approval, not to be unreasonably withheld) or
                  approved. The requesting party may, if necessary or desirable,
                  join the requested party as a party in any litigation in
                  respect of a Claim for which indemnity is requested. No
                  settlement may be made by the requesting party without the

                  requested party's prior approval. If either party fails to
                  fulfill any of its material obligations hereunder, the other
                  party will be deemed excused from its obligations pursuant to
                  this Section.

14.      M1SCELLANEOUS:

         14.1     No amendment or modification of this Agreement will be made
                  except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.

         14.2     This Agreement shall be deemed entered into in Los Angeles
                  County, California and shall be governed by and interpreted in
                  accordance with the substantive laws of the State of
                  California and, if applicable, United States Federal Law. The
                  parties agree that any dispute arising under this Agreement
                  shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts
                  within Los Angeles County, State of California and expressly
                  consent to jurisdiction therein. The parties agree that
                  process may be served upon it by mailing such process to its
                  address for notices as provided in this Agreement. Licensee
                  irrevocably waives objection to venue or forum in any such
                  court in California

         14.3     Should any provision of this Agreement be held to be void,
                  invalid or inoperative, such provision shall be enforced to
                  the extent possible and the remaining provisions of this
                  Agreement shall not be affected.

         14.4     The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for
                  convenience only and shall not be of any effect in construing
                  the meanings of the Sections.

         14.5     Licensee's relationship with Activision during the term of
                  this Agreement shall be that of an independent contractor.
                  Licensee shall not have, and shall not represent that it has,
                  any power; right or authority to bind Activision, or to assume
                  or create any obligation or responsibility, express or
                  implied, on behalf of Activision or in Activision's name,
                  except as herein expressly provided. Nothing stated in this
                  Agreement shall be construed as constituting Licensee and
                  Activision as partners or as creating the relationships of
                  employer/employee, franchisor/franchisee, or principal/agent
                  between the parties. Licensee shall not, without Activision's
                  prior written consent, register as Activision's distributor or
                  agent in the Territory.

         14.6     The following Sections shall survive the expiration or
                  termination of this Agreement 1.3, 8.2, 10, 11.3, 11.4,11.5,
                  11.6, 11.7, 12,13 and 14.

         14.7     This Agreement, including Schedules A, B, C, D and E, which
                  are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference,
                  constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with
                  respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior
                  negotiations, preliminary agreements, correspondence or
                  understandings, written or oral.

         14.8     No waiver of any obligation by any party hereto under this
                  Agreement shall be effective unless in writing, specifying
                  such waiver, executed by the party making such waiver. A
                  waiver by a party hereto of any of its rights or remedies
                  under this

                                       16


                  Agreement on any occasion shall not be a bar to the exercise
                  of the same right of remedy on any subsequent occasion or of
                  any other right of remedy at any time.

         14.9     This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
                  shall be deemed an original Agreement for all purposes,
                  including the judicial proof of any of the terms hereof,
                  provided, however that all such counterparts shall constitute
                  one and the same Agreement

         14.10    Because the parties hereto have participated in drafting and
                  negotiating this Agreement, there shall be no presumption
                  against any party on the ground that such party was
                  responsible for preparing this Agreement or any part of it.

         14.11    Unless expressly set forth to the contrary, either party's
                  election of any remedies provided for in this Agreement shall
                  not be exclusive of any other remedies available hereunder or
                  otherwise at law or in equity, and all such remedies shall be
                  deemed to be cumulative.

         14.12    Neither party shall be liable to the other party for any
                  incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages arising
                  out of this Agreement or its termination, or the breach of any
                  of its provisions, whether liability is asserted in contract
                  or tort (including negligence and strict product liability),
                  and irrespective of whether the parties have been advised or
                  been advised of the possibility of any such loss or damage.

         14.13    Should any litigation be commenced among the parties in
                  relation to this Agreement, the party prevailing in such
                  litigation shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief
                  as may be granted, to a reasonable sum for attorneys fees in
                  connection with such litigation or in a separate action
                  brought for that purpose.

         14.14    This Agreement may not be assigned in whole or in part by
                  either party without consent of the other, which consent will
                  not be unreasonably withheld, and Activision and Licensee may
                  assign (subject to any rights of the other party) any or all
                  of such party's rights (but not delegate its obligations)
                  under this Agreement to any subsidiary or affiliate of such
                  party. As used in this Section "Subsidiary" means any company
                  which is controlled, directly or indirectly, by the relevant
                  party, and "affiliate" means any company which controls, is
                  controlled by or is under common control with the party, where
                  "control" means possession of more than (****) of the equity
                  interest and voting power of such party. Furthermore, subject
                  to the provisions of Section 11.1.3, either party may assign
                  this Agreement to any third party which succeeds by operation
                  of law to, purchases or otherwise acquires substantially all
                  of the assets of such party and assumes such party's
                  obligations under this Agreement.

         14.15    Licensee agrees that any material breach or attempted or
                  threatened breach of this Agreement could result in
                  irreparable injury to Activision for which there would

                  be no adequate remedy at law and consents to injunctive relief
                  without limiting the applicability of any other remedies.

         14.16    Unless otherwise stated, time shall be of the essence for the
                  purpose of the performance by Licensee under this Agreement.

15.      NOTICES:

         15.1     All notices, statements and payments to Licensee shall be
                  delivered to it at the address specified on the first page of
