After making the necessary corrections, LICENSEE shall submit a revised Game to NINTENDO for testing. NINTENDO shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of any Game.

The absence of a signed authorization form from LICENSEE within five (5) days after delivery of the Check Discs to LICENSEE shall be deemed disapproval of such Check Discs. Production of any order for Finished Goods or Bulk Goods shall not proceed without LICENSEE’s signed authorization.

Confidential Information shall include all confidential information disclosed, whether in writing, orally, visually, or in the form of drawings, technical specifications, software, samples, pictures, models, recordings, or other tangible items which contain or manifest, in any form, the above listed information. Confidential Information shall not include (i) data and information which was in the public domain prior to LICENSEE’s receipt of the same hereunder, or which subsequently becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise, except by LICENSEE’s wrongful act or omission, (ii) data and information which LICENSEE can demonstrate, through written records kept in the ordinary course of business, was in its possession without restriction on use or disclosure, prior to its receipt of the same hereunder, and was not acquired directly or indirectly from NINTENDO or NOA under an obligation of confidentiality which is still in force, and (iii) data and information which LICENSEE can show was received by it from a third party who did not acquire the same directly or indirectly from NINTENDO or NOA and to whom LICENSEE has no obligation of confidentiality.

8.2 Disclosures Required by Law. LICENSEE shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information if such disclosure is required by an authorized governmental or judicial entity, provided that LICENSEE shall notify NINTENDO at least thirty (30) days prior to such disclosure, or such lesser period as may be needed to comply with such requirement. LICENSEE shall use its best efforts to limit the disclosure to the greatest extent possible consistent with LICENSEE’s legal obligations, and if required by NINTENDO, shall cooperate in the preparation and entry of appropriate court orders limiting the persons to whom Confidential Information may be disclosed and the extent of disclosure of such Confidential Information.

8.3 Disclosure and Use. NINTENDO may provide LICENSEE with highly confidential development information, Guidelines, Development Tools, systems, specifications and related resources and information constituting and incorporating the Confidential Information to assist LICENSEE in the development of Games. LICENSEE agrees to maintain all Confidential Information as strictly confidential and to use such Confidential Information only in accordance with this Agreement. LICENSEE shall limit access to the Confidential Information to LICENSEE’s employees having a strict need to know, and shall advise such individuals of their obligation of confidentiality as provided herein. LICENSEE shall require each such individual to retain in confidence the Confidential Information pursuant to a written non-disclosure agreement with LICENSEE. LICENSEE shall use its best efforts to ensure that individuals who are permitted hereunder to work with or otherwise have access to Confidential Information shall not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information.

8.4 No Disclosure to Independent Contractors. LICENSEE shall not disclose the Confidential Information, including without limitation the Guidelines and Intellectual Property Rights, to any Independent Contractor, nor permit any Independent Contractor to perform or assist in development work for a Game, without the prior written consent of NINTENDO. Any Independent Contractor seeking access to Confidential Information shall be required to enter into a written non-disclosure agreement with NINTENDO or NOA that is no less restrictive than the terms of this Section 8, and that expressly includes the following language, prior to receiving any access to or disclosure of the Confidential Information from either LICENSEE or NINTENDO:

“Independent Contractor may have access to highly-confidential and proprietary information, intellectual property, and trade secrets of Nintendo Co., Ltd. and/or Nintendo of America Inc. (collectively, “Nintendo”). Independent Contractor expressly acknowledges (i) the valuable nature of such materials; and (ii) Nintendo’s right, title and interest in such materials. All such materials constitute confidential information under this agreement and shall be treated by Independent Contractor as such. Independent Contractor’s use of such materials shall not create any right, title or interest of Independent Contractor therein. In the event that Independent Contractor challenges Nintendo’s ownership or the validity of such materials, Nintendo may terminate the agreement without any notice or procedure. Nintendo Co., Ltd. and Nintendo of America Inc. are intended third-party beneficiaries of this agreement.”

At LICENSEE’s option, the written non-disclosure agreement may be with LICENSEE rather than NINTENDO or NOA, in which case the form and substance of the non-disclosure agreement must be acceptable to NINTENDO. Also, in such case LICENSEE shall provide to NINTENDO on a continuing basis a listing of all Independent Contractors who have received or been granted access to Confidential Information along with copies of the applicable written non-disclosure agreements. In addition, LICENSEE shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that its Independent Contractors fulfill the requirements of the applicable written non-disclosure agreements.

LICENSEE shall use its best efforts to ensure that its employees and Independent Contractors working with or otherwise having access to Confidential Information shall not disclose or make unauthorized use of the Confidential Information. [***]

8.5 Agreement Confidentiality. LICENSEE agrees that the terms, conditions and contents of this Agreement shall be treated as Confidential Information. Any public announcement or press release regarding this Agreement or the release dates for Games developed by LICENSEE under this Agreement shall be subject to NINTENDO’s prior written approval.

8.6 Notification Obligations. LICENSEE shall promptly notify NINTENDO of the unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information by LICENSEE or any of its employees, or any Independent Contractor or its employees, and shall promptly act to recover any such information and prevent further breach of the obligations herein. The obligations of LICENSEE set forth herein are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal remedy that may be available to NINTENDO under this Agreement or applicable law.

8.7 Continuing Effect of the NDA. The terms of this Section 8 supplement the terms of the NDA, which shall remain in effect. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the NDA and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

10.1 Claim. “Claim” means any and all third-party claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and any expenses incurred in the settlement or avoidance of any such claim. “Claim” shall specifically include civil, criminal, and regulatory matters, and those brought by any third party (including governmental authorities or agencies) under any national, subnational, or multinational law or regulation, or the rules of any self-regulatory body (e.g., PEGI).

10.2 LICENSEE’s Indemnification. LICENSEE shall indemnify and hold harmless NINTENDO (and any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, licensors, suppliers, officers, directors, employees or agents) from any Claims which are alleged to result from or be in connection with:

(a) a breach by LICENSEE of any of the provisions in this Agreement,

(b) any infringement of a third party’s Proprietary Rights as a result of the design, development, advertising, marketing, sale or use of any aspect of the Licensed Products or the Marketing Materials,

NINTENDO and LICENSEE shall give prompt Notice to the other of any Claim which is or which may be subject to indemnification under this Section 10.

NINTENDO may, at its own expense, participate in such action or proceeding with counsel of its own choice. LICENSEE shall not enter into any settlement of any Claim in which (a) NINTENDO has been named as a party, or (b) Intellectual Property Rights have been asserted, without NINTENDO’s prior written consent.

11. PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

11.1 Joint Actions Against Infringers. LICENSEE and NINTENDO may agree to jointly pursue cases of infringement involving the Licensed Products, as such Licensed Products will contain Proprietary Rights owned by each of them. Unless the parties otherwise agree, or unless the recovery is expressly allocated between them by the court, in the event of such an action, any recovery shall be used first to reimburse LICENSEE and NINTENDO for their respective reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, pro rata, and any remaining recovery shall be distributed to LICENSEE and NINTENDO, pro rata, based upon the fees and costs incurred in bringing such action.

13.7 No Further Use of the Intellectual Property Rights.

LICENSEE shall at all times comply with applicable laws, regulations and orders in the countries of the Territory relating to or in any way affecting this Agreement and LICENSEE’s performance under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the export laws and regulations of any country with jurisdiction over the Intellectual Property Rights, Licensed Products, Development Tools and/or either party.

14.4 Waiver, Severability, Integration, and Amendment. The failure of a party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of the right of such party to thereafter enforce such provision.

Annex A

Guidelines on Ethical Content

The following Guidelines on Ethical Content are presented for assistance in the development of Games by defining the types of the theme inconsistent with NINTENDO’s corporate philosophy. Exceptions may be made when necessary to maintain the integrity of the Game or the Game’s theme. Games shall not:

(a) contain sexually explicit content including but not limited to nudity, rape, sexual intercourse and sexual touching; for instance, NINTENDO does not allow bare-breasted women in Games, however, mild displays of affection such as kissing or hugging are acceptable;

(b) contain language or depictions which specifically denigrate members of any race, gender, ethnicity, religion or political group;

(d) depict verbal or physical spousal or child abuse;

(e) permit racial, gender, ethnic, religious or political stereotypes; for example, religious symbols such as crosses will be acceptable when fitting into the theme of the Game and not promoting a specific religious denomination;

(f) use profanity, obscenity or incorporate language or gestures that are offensive by prevailing public standards and tastes; and

(g) promote the use of illegal drugs, smoking materials, tobacco and/or alcohol; for example NINTENDO does not allow gratuitous beer or cigarette advertisement anywhere in a Game; however, Sherlock Xxxxxx smoking a pipe would be acceptable as it fits the theme of the Game.
