`
`1 A. Release Plan
`
`The release plan for the Destiny Games ("Release Plan") is currently comprised of four (4) major retail Destiny
`Game releases tentatively scheduled for the t=all of 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019 and four (4) Comet releases
`following each Destiny Game release tentatively scheduled for the Fall of 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020. In
`addition, as part of the Destiny Games Licensor shall also produce DLC Releases as mutually agreed by the
`parties in the time periods between retail Destiny Games and Comet releases. The expected business model for
`the Products is a blend of retail packaged goods sales (although the parties acknowledge and agree that the
`future retail model for iterations of the Destiny Games may be via digital download rather than disk or packaged
`goods), subscriptions, downloadable content, value-added services and micro-transactions, the exact mix of
`which shall be determined by mutual agreement of Licensor and Activision. PriCing strategy for the Products shall
`be subject to mutual approval, provided in the event of a deadlock, Activision shall have the tie-breaking vote.
`Activision will have control and final approval over all decisions relating to retail sales and promotions, discounts,
`rebates, etc., provided that Activision shall meaningfully consult with Licensor on such decisions in advance.
`
`2. Platforms
`
`2.1
`
`Subject to Section 5 of this Agreement:
`
`(a) A cross-console and cpnsole transition plan for Destiny Games #1 and #2 is attached hereto as Exhibit C
`("Native Release Plan"), which shall be the plan of record for Destiny Games #1 and #2. The parties hereto
`shall discuss and mutually agree on the operating platforms for all other Products, as well as plans to
`manage cross-platform development efforts and platform transition to next generation consoles during the
`Development Term (as such term is defined in Section 4.1), in good faith.
`
`(b) As described in the Native Release Plan, Destiny Game #1, along with any related DLC Releases as well
`as Comet #1, shall be initially developed by Licensor to operate on and be compatible with the Microsoft
`Xbox 360 video game console ("Xbox 360") and the next successor console platform released by Microsoft
`configured for both the NTSC and PAL television/video system standards ("Xbox 720"). The parties
`acknowledge and agree that the budget set forth in the Payment Schedule set forth on Exhibit E attached
`hereto is scoped to delivery of only the Xbox 360 SKU (plus content pipeline) for Destiny Game #1. The
`parties also currently contemplate the development and commercial release of Destiny Game #1 for the
`PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system ("PS3") in the Fall of 2014, subject to the parties hereto
`conducting a joint technical feasibility analysis that reasonably establishes to the parties' mutual satisfaction
`that Destiny Game #1 is able to be developed for the PS3 at quality and feature parity to the Xbox 360
`version of Destiny Game #1 (the Xbox 360, the Xbox 720 and the PS3 are collectively referred to herein as
`the "Destiny Game #1 Platforms"). The parties hereto shall mutually agree to the incremental budget to
`fund the PS3 technical feasibility analysis. The cost of the technical feasibility analysis shall be included in
`the overall Project Accounting (as such term is defined in Section .11.5) for purposes of calculating Operating
`Income (as such term is defined in Section 11.1); provided, however, that in the event the parties hereto
`agree that a PS3 version of Destiny Game #1 is not feasible, any costs of the technical feasibility analysis in
`excess of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) shall be excluded from the overall Project Accounting. The
`parties shall seek to conclude technical diligence on whether to develop Destiny Game #1 for the PS3 by no
`later than January 31, 2011. The parties shall then commence a business diligence phase ending no later
`than March 31,2011, to ascertain the commercial desirability of the PS3 SKU, taking into consideration the
`then prevailing information regarding expected market conditions and console transitions. The baseline
`framework for analyzing the SKU-plan of the Products is attached hereto as Exhibit F. Licensor agrees that
`it shall not willfully take any actions (or make any omissions) in its development of the Xbox 360 version of
`Destiny Game #1 to hinder or undermine the ability to also develop Destiny Game #1 for the PS3. In no
`event shall Licensor be required to simultaneously ship Destiny Game #1 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in the
`Fall of 2013.
`
`(c) Subject to the terms of Section 5, Destiny Game #2, along with any related DLC Releases as well as
`Comet #2, shall be initially developed by Licensor to operate on and be compatible with the Xbox 360, Xbox
`720 and the Sony PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system (I.e., the next successor platform released
`by Sony after PlayStation 3) configured for both the NTSC and PAL television/video system standards
`("PS4", and collectively, the Xbox 360, Xbox 720 and PS4 are referred to herein as the "Destiny Game #2
`Console Platforms"), and personal computer with Windows-based operating system ("PC")(the "Destiny
`Game #2 PC Platform") (the Destiny Game #2 Console Platforms and the Destiny Game #2 PC Platform
`are collectively referred to herein as the "Destiny Game #2 Platforms"). The parties hereto agree that prior
`to commencing production on the Xbox 720, PC and PS4 SKUs of Destiny Game #2, Activision and

`Licensor shall mutually agree on the business case and technical feasibility of such SKUs, the incremental
`deveiopment budget, and production schedule therefor.
`

`
`4.2
`
`4.3

`Products for a period of three (3) years following the commercial release of Comet #4 ("Support Term").
`During the Support Term, Licensor shall be responsible for continuing support obligations with respect to

`of the Products in a manner consistent with other equivalent interactive entertainment software products
`that it publishes and distributes and customary market practices (it being expressly understood that over
`the course onhe Development Term, one (1) or more of the Products could become technically
`obsolete), or fails to fund Licensor's dedicated support team during the Support Term, such failure will be

`publishing and distribution rights to the Products under this Agreement to intentionally create confusion
`in the marketplace regarding any future Licensor game. In the event Licensor terminates this Agreement
`in accordance with Section 17.2, or in the event Activision terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
`17.1 , then the Distribution Term for the Products shall automatically cease and all such rights shall revert

`transferred and assigned to Licensor (including the right to seek damages for past and future
`infringement) without any payment of compensation to such Activision Affiliate sublicensee, including

`Activision shall commence a technical diligence period not to exceed five (5) months (excluding a PS3
`Conversion, which is addressed in Section 2.1 (bU. During the technical diligence period, the parties will

`respects with the applicable Destiny Game for the other Console Platforms, and satisfy technical,
`security, design and quality guidelines as determined above (any other guidelines to be discussed in
`good faith and mutually determined by Licensor and Activision during the technical and business
