6.4 Payments and Reports. Concurrent with the obligation to pay the applicable Royalty, during the Term, Company shall submit to Harmonix a report detailing the Royalties payable (or if no Royalties are payable, a report indicating all relevant information relating thereto, (e.g., sale of units for each Licensed Product by Authorized Console and by Territory, including both sell-in, wholesale costs and returns)) by Company to Harmonix for the applicable Royalty Period substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit F (each, a “Royalty Report”), annexed hereto, along with payment of any Royalties due and payable by Company in accordance with the terms and conditions this Agreement. Acceptance by Harmonix of any payments and any Royalty Report shall not preclude Harmonix from subsequently auditing or questioning any aspect of such amounts or any such Royalty Report within two years after the date of such Royalty Report.

In the event that any such audit reveals an underpayment in the amount of Royalties paid by Company to Harmonix, then Company shall immediately pay to Harmonix the incremental difference between the amount due and the actual amount that was paid, together with interest calculated at the maximum rate permitted by law, and if the reporting discrepancy is more

Harmonix Rock Band 4 Manufacturing, Publishing and Distribution Agreement

than [***] of the Royalties that accrued in the [***] month period immediately preceding such audit, then Company shall also reimburse Harmonix for the reasonable costs of the audit. Company shall provide Harmonix a written response, if any, to the audit findings within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such findings. Company’s failure to timely respond to any audit findings shall be deemed an acceptance of such findings.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROCEDURES

The following customer support statement shall be included by Company with all Licensed Products:

It is Company’s goal to provide excellent customer support to all its customers. Company shall provide software warranty services and customer support that meet generally accepted marketing standards established by top tier publishers. To achieve this goal, Company has established customer support centers for North American and European customers with respect to Licensed Software, Licensed Hardware and Bundles. Customer support in other regions is handled by Company’s long-standing distributors who handle customer support for all of Company’s products as well as for other brands in their portfolios.

North America

Company’s North American customer support center is located in Redlands, CA. Currently, Company employs 7 full time customer support technicians that are trained to answer customer questions, resolve customer issues, and perform limited repairs for all of Company products.

Company employs a tech support data base that logs customer registrations, stores customer complaints or positive feedback, generates Return Merchandise Authorization numbers, allows customer support to track warranty products and allows Company to run reports to identify recurring or common product issues.

Customers can find customer contact information in their user guides and on the Company website under the customer warranty tab. Company employs a toll free number for calls within the United States and a toll number for calls outside the United States. Company also has a customer email address at xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx.

All warranty products are stored at Company’s 60,000 square foot Distribution Center (“DC”) located in Redlands, California. Company employs an automated shipping warranty system. Once the customer support technician approves the warranty action in Redlands in accord with the appropriate warranty and inputs it into the system, shipping personnel in the DC receive notice of the action and ship the warranty product to the desired location, usually the same day.

EMEA

Company operates direct sales offices in the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Sweden and also employs sales people to cover the rest of world in Germany and Hong Kong. In addition, where necessary and appropriate, Company uses distributors.

Company employs an outsourced multi-lingual tech support centre in Romania, managed in the UK, covering English, French, Italian, German and Spanish languages. Company employs a global tech support data base that logs customer registrations, stores customer complaints or positive feedback, generates Return Merchandise Authorization numbers, allows customer support to track warranty products and allows Company to run reports to identify recurring or common product issues.

If customers desire to contact customer support in Europe, they can find such contact information in their user guides and on the Company website under the customer warranty tab. Current European tech support contact details can be found on xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.

Once an RMA is raised by Company tech support staff the warranty products are shipped out of our 3PL warehouses in the UK or Germany, dependent on the territory. This usually takes place within 24 hours but no more than 2 days.

Company shall provide Harmonix periodic reports of customer support tickets at all times Company is providing customer support for the Licensed Products.
