Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless RGI, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliated companies and partners and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, a “Licensee Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, damages, judgments, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from any claims, litigation, or actions arising out of or relating to actual or alleged: (i) distribution by Licensee of the Localized Game, Physical Products, Game Cards, Game Currency, Instructional Guides, or any other Game related materials; (ii) Licensee marketing and sale of the Physical Product, Game Cards, Game Currency or Localized Game; (iii) defects in the Physical Product, Game Cards, Game Currency, Localized Game or Localized Server; (iv) unauthorized use of any patent, process, method or device or out of the infringement of any copyrights, trade name, patent, or libel or invasion of the right of privacy, contract, publicity or other property rights of any party resulting from the Work Product; (v) breach by Licensee of any and all provisions of this Agreement in connection with the performance by Licensee of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (vi) breach of any representations and warranties or covenants Licensee has made hereunder; (vii) infringement caused by any modification to the Physical Product, Game Cards, Game Currency, Localized Game or Server Software not authorized by RGI; or (viii) any third- party claim arising from Licensee’s use of any trademarks or copyrighted material added to the Physical Product, Game Cards, Game Currency, Localized Game, Instructional Guide, Marketing Materials or other Game related materials. A Licensee Indemnified Party will timely notify Licensee in a writing that sets forth with specificity the claim or action to which such indemnification obligation applies but any failure to provide timely notice or information shall not impair such Licensee Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification except to the extent that such failure has materially prejudiced or materially delayed Licensee in defense of the claim.

  12.2 RGI’s Indemnification. RGI shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensee, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliated companies and partners and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “RGI Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, damages, judgments, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from any claims, litigation, or actions arising out of or relating to actual or alleged: (iv) unauthorized use of any patent, process, method or device or out of the infringement of any copyrights, trade name, patent, or libel or invasion of the right of privacy, contract, publicity or other property rights of any party resulting from the Game; (v) breach of any representations and warranties or covenants RGI has made hereunder. If RGI is the indemnifying party and the distribution of the Game, Instructional Guide, Marketing Materials or other Game related materials are enjoined, or if RGI determines that any of the foregoing may be enjoined because any of the foregoing or a part thereof constitutes or appears to constitute a direct infringement of any third party Intellectual Property Rights, RGI may, at its sole discretion and at its own expense, (i) procure for Licensee the right to continue using the applicable materials consistent with this Agreement, (ii) modify the applicable material (or cause it to be modified) so that it becomes non-infringing and furnish the resulting modifications to Licensee. In addition, if neither of the foregoing alternatives are commercially feasible then in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedy which may be available, either party may immediately terminate this Agreement. A RGI Indemnified Party will timely notify RGI in a writing that sets forth with specificity the claim or action to which such indemnification obligation applies but any failure to provide timely notice or information shall not impair such RGI Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification except to the extent that such failure has materially prejudiced or materially delayed RGI in defense of the claim. RGI shall have the right to control the defense of each such claim and any lawsuit or proceeding arising therefrom. The RGI Indemnified Party will cause its counsel to cooperate fully with RGI and its counsel in the defense of such action. RGI shall not admit any liability or compromise any suit without first obtaining the RGI Indemnified Party’s consent in writing. Each RGI Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense and settlement of such claim being defended by RGI through separate counsel at such RGI Indemnified Party’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event RGI does not timely undertake to defend a RGI Indemnified Party from a claim or suit described above, the RGI Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense itself and RGI promises to repay all liabilities, damages, costs and fees (including reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from such defense regardless of the outcome.

 

  12.3 No Combination Claims. RGI shall not be liable to Licensee for any claim arising from or based upon the combination, operation or use of any Game Cards, Online Virtual Game Cards, Localized Game or Localized Server with equipment, data or programming not supplied by RGI, or arising from any alteration or modification of the Client or Server Software.

  13.3.2 RGI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement automatically and without further notice to Licensee in the event that Licensee shall make or attempt any unauthorized assignment for the benefit of creditors, file any petition for reorganization, readjustment or rearrangement of its business or affairs under any laws or governmental regulations relating to relief of debtors, bankruptcy or insolvency of any jurisdiction, have or suffer a receiver or trustee to be appointed for its business or property, discontinues its business, or be adjudicated a bankrupt or an insolvent.

  14.2 Non-Disclosure; Use. Each party agrees to; (i) maintain and preserve the confidentiality of all Confidential Information received from the other, both orally and in writing, including, without limitation, taking such steps to protect and preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information as it takes to preserve and protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information; (ii) that it will disclose such Confidential Information only to its own employees on a “need-to-know” basis, and only to those employees who have agreed to maintain the confidentiality thereof; (iii) that if software is involved, it will not disassemble, “reverse engineer” or “reverse compile” such software for any purpose; and (iv) that it will not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the express written consent of the disclosing party, provided, however that each party may disclose the financial terms of this Agreement to its legal and business advisors and to investors and potential investors so long as such third parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information.

Nothing stated in this Agreement shall be construed as making partners of Licensee and RGI, nor as creating the relationships of employer/employee, franchisor/franchisee, or principal/agent between the parties. In all matters relating to this Agreement, neither Licensee nor its employees or agents are, or shall act as, employees of RGI within the meaning or application of any obligations or liabilities to RGI by reason of an employment relationship.

  15.2 Assignment. The rights granted to Licensee hereunder are personal in nature and Licensee agrees that this Agreement shall not be assignable, nor may Licensee delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of RGI. Any attempted delegation or assignment without the required consent shall be void and of no effect.

 

  15.3 Waiver and Modification. No waiver or modification of the Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is asserted. Waiver by either party in any instance of any breach of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term or condition hereof. None of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by course of dealing or trade usage.

 

  15.4 Notices. All notices and demands hereunder shall be in writing and shall be served by personal delivery, express courier, or mail at the address of the receiving party set forth in this Agreement (or at such different address as may be designated by such party by written notice to the other party), and shall be deemed complete upon receipt. All notices or demands by mail shall be by certified or registered airmail, return receipt requested. If receipt of such notice or demand is refused or a party has changed its address without informing the other, the notice shall be deemed to have been given and received upon the fifth (5th) day following the date upon which it is first postmarked by the postal service of the sender’s nation. Licensee shall notify RGI in writing of any material claim or proceeding involving the Game within the Territory within seven (7) days after Licensee learns of such claim or proceeding. Licensee shall also immediately report to RGI all claimed or suspected product defects. Licensee shall also notify RGI in writing not more than seven (7) days after any change in the management or control of Licensee or any transfer of a majority share of Licensee’s voting control or a transfer of substantially all its assets. Licensee shall provide written notice the Chief Executive Officer of RGI.

 

  15.5 Attorney’s Fees. In the event any legal or administrative action or proceeding (an “Action”) is brought by either party in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such Action shall be entitled to recover from the other party all the costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party in such Action.

 

  15.6 Choice of Law, Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, USA. THE APPLICATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION OF CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS IS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. Each party hereto voluntarily and irrevocably submits and consents to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California, Los Angeles County, including Federal courts located therein, should Federal jurisdiction requirements exist, in any action brought to enforce (or otherwise relating to) this Agreement, and each party hereby waives any objection thereto on the basis of personal jurisdiction or venue.

 

Page 32

CONFIDENTIAL


  15.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In the event the infirmed provision causes the contract to fail of its essential purpose, then the entire Agreement shall fail and become void.

 

  15.8 Force Majeure. With the exception of Licensee’s payment obligations pursuant to Section 7, neither party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement if such default or delay results from causes or events beyond its control, including without limitation, acts of God, fire, extra-terrestrial invasion, flood, strike or other labor problem, injunction or other legal restraint, present or future law, governmental order, rule or regulation, (“Force Majeure Event”) for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues, but in no event shall either party’s period of Force Majeure extend for a period longer than ten (10) days from its commencement, provided however, the non-performing party is without fault in causing such nonperformance or delay, and such non-performance or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and cannot reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing party through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means. The party whose performance is prevented, hindered or delayed by a Force Majeure Event shall immediately notify the other party of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event and describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Force Majeure Event. Throughout the period under which a party suffers from a Force Majeure Event, such party shall use reasonable efforts to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay, including through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means. In the event that the hosting, operation, customer service or User access to the Localized Game is hindered or delayed by a Force Majeure Event for longer than ten (10) days, RGI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

 

  15.9 Equitable Remedies. Licensee understands and agrees that RGI will suffer irreparable harm in the event that Licensee fails to comply with any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and that monetary damages in such event would be inadequate to compensate RGI. Consequently, in such event RGI shall be entitled, in addition to such monetary relief as may be recoverable by law, in any court of competent jurisdiction (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.6 herein) to such temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief as may be necessary to restrain any continuing or further breach by Licensee, without showing or proving any actual damages sustained by RGI, nor the posting of any bond.

 

  15.10 Language and Interpretation. This Agreement is executed in the English language only. This Agreement has been fully negotiated by both RGI and Licensee and will be interpreted according to the plain meaning of its terms without any presumption that it should be construed either for or against either RGI or Licensee.

  15.11 Time is of the essence. Licensee acknowledges that time is of the essence regarding its performance and discharge of all its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

 

  15.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all Schedules and Exhibits hereto, constitutes and contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be binding upon the parties until this Agreement has been executed by each party and an executed copy has been delivered to the parties.

2. Revenue generation model type: Game Currency, Advertising Revenue, Physical Products and Game Currency Cards

 

3. Description: A User purchases a Game Card from a retail outlet or an Online Virtual Game Card on the Internet though Approved websites in one of varying amounts of currency which amount is directly associated with the amount of Game Currency the User will receive when using the Game Card or Online Virtual Game Card. The Game Card or Online Virtual Game Card contains a secure window which, when opened, reveals a security code that the User enters into the Localized Server Software via the Game and/or Internet after which the User’s Account is credited with the amount of Game Currency designated on the applicable Game Card or Online Virtual Game Card. The User may also purchase allotments of Game Currency directly through the Localized Game or the official Game Website.

 

4. Royalty payable by Licensee to RGI:

 

  a. [***] Gross Revenue of Game Card Sales Revenue produced for use with the Localized Server Software. A Game Card or Online Virtual Game Card shall be deemed “produced” when RGI delivers the associated security codes to the Game Card manufacturer or Licensee.

 

  b. [***] Gross Revenue of all Online Revenue from Game Currency purchased through any Approved means other than Game Cards and Online Virtual Game Cards, including, without limitation, through the Localized Game or the official Website.

 

  c. [***] Net Revenue of all Advertising Revenue from various channels hosted by the Licensee including, without limitation, the localized Game Client, the Website and the Garena platform client.

 

  d. [***] Net Revenue of all Retail Sales Revenue from sale of Physical Products and other merchandise as mutually approved between the parties.

 

5. Security code acquisition procedure: Licensee will notify RGI of the number of Game Cards and Online Virtual Game Cards Licensee desires, together with a breakdown of how much time each card shall credit a User’s account and the corresponding retail value of the card (e .g., 5,000 total cards: 2,000 of which are cards with 100 game points with a retail value of x dollars; 3,000 of which are cards with 200 game points with retail value of y dollars). RGI will then prepare and transmit to Licensee an invoice regarding such order. Upon RGI’s receipt of the full amount described on the invoice (in accordance with Section 7 of the Agreement), RGI shall promptly transmit the security codes to the Game Card manufacturer and RGI shall enable those codes in the Localized Server Software. Licensee shall not permit the actual retail Game Card or Online Virtual Game Card price to deviate from that in a corresponding security code request without the Approval of RGI and in the event such Approval is granted and the retail price is increased, RGI will transmit to Licensee an invoice for the difference due RGI regarding the associated royalty for such Game Cards and Licensee agrees to pay to RGI such invoiced amount in accordance with Section 7 of the Agreement within five (5) days of Licensee’s receipt of the invoice.
