Exhibit 1, Section 1(a) through 1(d), including Tables 1 and 2, of the Xbox 360 PLA shall be replaced with the following:

“1. Platform Royalty

a. For each FPU manufactured, Publisher shall pay Microsoft nonrefundable royalties in accordance with the royalty tables (Tables 1 and 2) and the Unit Discount Table (Table 3).

The royalty rate is then as set forth in Table 2 based on such Tier and the Sales Territory in which the FPUs will be sold. For example, assume the Wholesale Price of a Standard Software Title to be sold in the European Sales Territory is [***] . According to Table 1, [***] royalty rates will apply to that Software Title and the royalty rate for each FPU as set forth in Table 2 is [***].

c. Setting the Royalty.

(i) Standard Software Titles and Expansion Packs. Publisher shall submit to Microsoft, at least [***] business days before placing the first manufacturing order for a Standard Software Title or an Expansion Pack, a completed and signed “Xbox 360 Royalty Tier Selection Form” in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2 (as may be updated via the Xbox 360 Publisher Guide) for each Sales Territory. The selection indicated in the Xbox 360 Royalty Tier Selection Form (or designated electronic form method) will only be effective once it has been approved by Microsoft. If a Standard Software Title or Expansion Pack does not have an approved Xbox 360 Royalty Tier Selection Form as required hereunder

[***] INDICATES MATERIAL THAT WAS OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WAS REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL WAS FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO THE RULES APPLICABLE TO SUCH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST.

Dealpoint#XXXXXXXX

(e.g., as a result of the Publisher not providing an Xbox 360 Royalty Tier Selection Form or because Microsoft has not approved the Xbox 360 Royalty Tier Selection Form), the royalty rate for such Standard Software Title will default to Tier [***] or for such Expansion Pack will default to Packs Tier [***], regardless of the actual Threshold Price (i.e., if Microsoft does not approve an Xbox 360 Royalty Tier Selection Form because it is filled out incorrectly, the royalty rate will default to Tier [***]). Except as set forth in Section 2 (Hits Programs), the selection of a royalty Tier for a Standard Software Title or Expansion Pack in a Sales Territory is binding for the life of that Software Title or Expansion Pack even if the Threshold Price is reduced following the Software Title’s Commercial Release.

1. [***] days after Commercial Release of an FPU in a Sales Territory, Publisher may elect to change the previously elected Royalty Tier for such Software Title to any other valid Royalty Tier set forth in Table 2 (e.g., migrate from Tier A to Tier B or from Tier A to Tier D) in the same Sales Territory. A minimum of [***] days must elapse before Publisher is permitted to make an additional Royalty Tier migration. Software Titles must meet all MOQs to receive approval for a Royalty Tier migration. The Multi-Game Pack program does not support Royalty Tier migration.

2. Publisher must submit to Microsoft, at least [***] business days before placing the first manufacturing order under the new Royalty Tier, a completed and signed Xbox 360 Royalty Tier Migration Form in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 7 (as may be updated via Xbox 360 Publisher Guide which may require electronic submission) for each Sales Territory. Unit Discount accumulation restarts with each Royalty Tier migration.

(ii) Hits Software Title. Publisher shall submit to Microsoft, at least [***] days prior to the targeted Commercial Release of the Hits Software Title, a completed and signed Xbox 360 Hits Programs Election Form in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 6 (as may be updated via the Xbox 360 Publisher Guide) for each Sales Territory. The Xbox 360 Hits Programs Election Form will be effective once it has been approved by Microsoft. If a Hits Software Title does not have an approved Xbox 360 Hits Programs Election Form as required hereunder (e.g., as a result of the Publisher not providing an Xbox 360 Hits Programs Election Form or because Microsoft has not approved the Xbox 360 Hits Programs Election Form), the royalty rate for such Hits Software Title will default to Tier [***] (i.e., if Microsoft does not approve an Xbox 360 Hits Programs Election Form because it is filled out incorrectly, the royalty rate will default to Tier [***]).

1. Publisher may elect either [***], [***], or [***] at initial Commercial Release as a Hits Software Title provided that the Software Title meets the Threshold Price requirements set forth in Table 1 above.

2. After [***] days from the Commercial Release of a Hits Software Title, Publisher may elect to change the previously elected Hits Tier royalty rate for such Hits Software Title to a lower Hits Tier royalty rate in a specific Sales Territory provided that the Hits Software Title has a Threshold Price that meets the requirements for the newly elected Hits Tier royalty rate in Table 1 above. A minimum of [***] days must elapse before Publisher can make an additional Hits Tier change.

3. Publisher must submit to Microsoft, at least [***] business days before placing the first manufacturing order for the applicable Hits Software Title, a completed Xbox 360 Royalty Tier Migration Form (a “Tier Migration Form”) set forth in Exhibit 8 for each Sales Territory. The change in royalty rate will only apply to manufacturing orders for such Hits Software Title placed after the relevant Tier Migration Form has been approved by Microsoft.

(iii) Cross Territory Sales. Except for FPUs manufactured pursuant to Section 5 below (Asia Simship Program), Publisher may not sell FPUs in a certain Sales Territory that were manufactured for a different Sales Territory. For example, if Publisher were to manufacture and pay royalties on FPUs designated for sale in the Asian Sales Territory, Publisher could not sell those FPUs in the European Sales Territory.

(d) Russian Manufacturing Incentive Program. For Software Titles releasing in Russia that meet all the requirements set forth below, up to [***] units of each such Software Title may qualify for the Tier [***] royalty rate, even if the Software Title qualifies for a different Tier in the rest of the European Sales Territory:

(i) The Xbox 360 version of the Software Title must Commercially Release no later than all other console and PC versions;

(ii) The Software Title must include the Russian language (other languages in addition to Russian are also permitted). At a minimum, the text and subtitles of the Software Title must be localized into the Russian language (full Russian localization is preferred);

Units manufactured that qualify for the Tier [***] or Tier [***] royalty rate under this program will not qualify for the Unit Discount calculation set forth in Section 1.e below, but such units will be included in the Hits Program Manufacturing Requirements set forth in Section 2.b (Table 1). With respect to any single Software Title, all units manufactured in addition to [***] will be charged the same royalty Tier applicable in the rest of the European Sales Territory.”

6. Japan Re Ordering Program.

Exhibit 1, Section 1(f) shall be revised to add the following new section:

“(iii) As of [***], the Japan Re-Ordering Program will terminate and any Software Title not in the program as of [***], will not be eligible for the Japan Re-Ordering Program. Software Titles manufactured under the Japan Re-Ordering Program prior to [***], may continue to participate in the Japan Re-Ordering Program until the end of the Term, or unless earlier terminated by Microsoft upon notice (which may be via email) to Publisher.”

7. Multi-Game Pack Program.

Exhibit 1, Section g shall be replaced with the following:

“g. Multi-Game Pack Program. Publisher may elect to manufacture and distribute Multi-Game Pack(s) subject to the requirements of this Section 1g. Upon compliance with the program requirements and receipt of the Multi-Game Pack Program Form (attached as Exhibit 10 hereto) at least [***] days prior to the targeted commercial release of the Multi-Game Pack, Publisher is authorized to manufacture and distribute Multi-Game Packs in each Sales Territory at the royalty rates in Table 2 of Section 1 applicable to the Multi-Game Packs.

(vi) Multi-Game Packs as a whole are not eligible for the Hits program set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit 1 and inclusion in a Multi-Game Pack does not influence the status of each individual title with regards to the Hits Program;
