Dear Ms. Kaminsky:

This letter (“Agreement”) confirms the terms of your employment by Activision Publishing, Inc. (“Employer”), on the terms and conditions set forth below.

1. Term

a) The initial term of your employment under this Agreement shall commence on October 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”) and expire on October 31, 2008 (the “Expiration Date”) unless earlier terminated as provided in Paragraph 9 below or as may be extended as provided in Paragraph 1(b) below (the “Employment Period”).

(b) If, at any time between the Effective Date and the Expiration Date, your Total Compensation exceeds $6,000,000, Employer shall have the option to extend your employment under this Agreement once for an additional one-year period, commencing on November 1, 2008 and expiring on October 31, 2009. For purposes of this Agreement, “Total Compensation” shall mean the total of (i) your cumulative Base Salary from the Effective Date through the date the $6,000,000 amount has been reached, (ii) your cumulative Annual Bonuses through such date, (iii) the realized and unrealized gains (based upon the closing price of the common stock of Activision, Inc. (“Activision”) as reported on The NASDAQ Stock Market on the applicable date) from any and all vested stock options issued to you under this Agreement, and (iv) the market value of all vested restricted stock grants issued to you under this Agreement plus the additional amounts you realized from the sale of any shares sold by you which were the subject of such restricted stock grants.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Employer decides not to extend your employment beyond the Expiration Date, Employer will provide you written notice of that decision at least 6 months prior to the Expiration Date.

2. Compensation

(a) In full consideration for all rights and services provided by you under this Agreement, you shall receive the compensation set forth in this Paragraph 2. Commencing on the Effective Date, you shall receive an annual base salary of $468,000. Thereafter, on June 1 of each year of the Employment Period your annual base salary shall be increased to a minimum of an amount equal to one hundred four percent (104%) of the base salary for the prior year.

(b) Base Salary payments shall be made in accordance with Employer’s then prevailing payroll policy. The base salary referred to in Paragraph 2(a) shall constitute your minimum base

salary during the applicable period. On an annual basis, your base salary shall be reviewed to determine if an increase above minimum is appropriate. Your base salary may be increased above the minimum at any time if Activision’s Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee of such Board of Directors), in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to do so.

(c) Employer shall not be required to actually use your services during the term of this Agreement. You will not be permitted or authorized to act on behalf of Employer if Employer is not utilizing your services unless specifically authorized in writing to the contrary by Employer. All of your obligations to Employer under this Agreement generally, and specifically with regard to Paragraph 8, shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect. Moreover, you have an obligation to abide by the terms of the Employee Proprietary Information Agreement executed by you and Employer’s corporate governance policies.

(d) You will receive a signing bonus of $35,000 payable within two weeks of the Effective Date.

(e) In addition to your Base Salary, you may be eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus (the “Annual Bonus”). Your target Annual Bonus during the term of this Agreement will be 75% of the then applicable Base Salary, provided that the actual amount of the Annual Bonus, if any, is within the sole and absolute discretion of the Activision’s Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) and will be based upon your achievement of certain mutually agreed objectives and goals and/or your contribution to the success of Employer’s financial and business objectives and goals for the fiscal year with respect to which the Annual Bonus is calculated, such determination made by Activision’s Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) in its sole discretion. Employer’s overall financial performance will also be considered in determining whether any of the Annual Bonus is awarded and, if so, the amount. The Annual Bonus, if granted, is generally paid to employees in May. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, you must remain continuously employed by Employer through the date on which the Annual Bonus is paid to be eligible to receive such Annual Bonus. Any Annual Bonus shall be subject to withholding.

(f) Pursuant to the Activision 2003 Incentive Plan (“Plan”), you will be granted a non-qualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Activision’s common stock in two tranches. As to the First Tranche of 200,000 shares covered by the Option, such tranche will vest ratably over the three years following the date on which the Option is granted to you (the “Option Grant Date”), with one-third of the amount vesting each year on the anniversary of the Option Grant Date. As to the Second Tranche of 100,000 shares covered by the Option, such shares will not vest until the third anniversary of the Option Grant Date (subject to possible earlier vesting of 25% of the Second Tranche vesting at the end of fiscal year 2007 and another 25% vesting at the end of fiscal year 2008 if Employee shall achieve certain performance objectives to be mutually determined by you and Employer for the fiscal years 2007 and 2008). The Option will have an exercise price per share that will be the market low on the grant date and will be governed in all other respects by Activision’s standard form of stock option agreement for similar grants.

(g) You also will receive a restricted stock grant (the “Stock Grant”) of 35,000 shares of Activision’s common stock (the “Restricted Shares”). Such grant of Restricted Shares will vest in

two tranches. As to the First Tranche of 23,333 shares covered by the Stock Grant, such tranche will vest ratably over the three years following the date on which the Stock Grant occurs (“Stock Grant Date”), with one-third of the amount vesting each year on the anniversary of the Stock Grant Date. As to the Second Tranche of 11,667 shares covered by the Stock Grant, such shares will not vest until the end of the third anniversary of the Stock Grant Date (subject to possible earlier vesting of 25% of the shares vesting at the end of fiscal year 2007 and another 25% vesting at the end of fiscal year 2008 if Employee shall achieve certain performance objectives to be mutually determined by you and Employer for the fiscal years 2007 and 2008).

(h) You may be eligible for such additional stock option grants commensurate with your position with Employer as the Board of Directors (or Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors), in its sole discretion, may award to you from time to time.

(i) Employer will continue to provide mortgage assistance (“Mortgage Assistance”) in the amount of $7,500 (grossed-up in an amount sufficient to cover all tax liability you incur as a result of the Mortgage Assistance) per month from the Effective Date through the Expiration Date.

At any time during the Employment Period, Employer may terminate your employment under this Agreement for Cause, defined as your (i) gross misconduct, (ii) gross negligence in performance of job responsibilities, or (iii) conviction of a felony. In addition, but subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 9(d)(iii) and 9(e)(ii) below, Employer may terminate your employment under this Agreement at any time without Cause and such termination shall not be deemed to constitute a wrongful discharge of Employee or a wrongful termination of Employee’s employment by Employer or a breach by Employer of any term of this Agreement and/or any other duty or obligation, expressed or implied, which Employer may owe to Employee pursuant to any principle or provision of law. In the case of any termination for Cause pursuant to clause (ii), Employer shall give written notice of termination to you (“Notice of Cause Termination”), and shall specify the date of such termination, which shall not be earlier than 45 days after the date on which notice is given to you. Such notice shall specify the particular acts or circumstances that purport to constitute Cause for such termination.

Within 15 days after any such explanation, you will be given the final decision, in writing, regarding whether Cause exists. If the final decision is that Cause exists, your employment with Employer shall be terminated under Paragraph 9(a)(ii) pursuant to the Notice of Cause Termination as of the date of termination specified in the notice. If the final decision is that Cause does not exist, your employment with Employer shall not be terminated under Paragraph 9(a)(ii) pursuant to such Notice of Cause Termination.

If you and Employer are unable to agree on such a physician, you and Employer shall each appoint one physician and those two physicians shall appoint a third physician who shall make such a determination. You shall cooperate and make yourself available for any medical examination reasonably required by Employer with respect to any determination of your Disability.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under existing or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provisions shall be fully severable, the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal and enforceable.

(j) Legal Counsel. You acknowledge that you have been given the opportunity to consult with legal counsel or any other advisor of your own choosing regarding this Agreement. You understand and agree that Employer’s General Counsel, or any other attorney or member of management who has discussed any term or condition of this Agreement with him, is only acting on behalf of the Employer and not on your behalf.
