Section 6.     Compensation of WSGO

     6.1      Revenue Share. WGT will pay all of the Net Revenue it collects to WSGO and WSGO will retain all Net Revenue it collects until WSGO has received $[***] of Net Revenue. After the first $[***] of Net Revenue has been paid to and/or received by WSGO, (a) WGT will pay to WSGO [***] percent ([***]%) of the Net Revenue collected by WGT attributable to (i) advertising, promotions or sponsorships related to the WSGO Game, (ii) WSGO Product Line revenue collected by WGT either through its operation of the WGT Web Sites or the WSGO Game or otherwise, and (iii) from User participation or membership fees that may be paid by Users to participate in the WSGO Game and (b) WSGO shall pay to WGT (i) [***] percent ([***]%) of the Net Revenue attributable to the WSGO Product Line goods Net Revenue collected by WSGO from the WSGO Web Site and (ii) [***] percent ([***]%) of the Net Revenue collected by WSGO from advertising, promotions or sponsorships related to the WSGO Game. WSGO will not have any obligation to pay WGT any share of revenue associated with any non-WSGO Game activities, such as the entry fees, advertising or sponsorships associated with any live golf events sponsored by WSGO, WGT or their Affiliates. If the WSGO Game advertising or sponsorship is sold by WSGO for less the $[***] per CPM, WGT will be entitled to withhold or will receive such additional portion of the Net Revenue so that WGT is receiving $[***] per CPM from the advertising and sponsorship Net Revenue from such advertising or sponsorship even though that amount is greater than [***] percent ([***]%) of the Net Revenue from that advertising or sponsorship. If an advertiser or sponsor of the WSGO Game is also an advertiser or sponsor of a non-WSGO event of an Affiliate of WSGO, the revenue from such advertiser and sponsor to WSGO and its Affiliates will be equitably allocated between the WSGO Game (and subject to the revenue sharing under this Section 6.1) and the non-WSGO Game event (not subject to revenue sharing under this Section 6.1) . The revenue sharing payments under this Section 6.1 will be the only payments made by WSGO to WGT for the hosting, management, use and support of the WSGO Game.

     6.2 Monthly Payment and Statement. WGT will pay the Net Revenue sharing payments specified in Section 6.1(a) to WSGO and WSGO will pay the Net Revenue sharing payments specified in Section 6.1(b) to WGT on a monthly basis within thirty (30) days after the last day of each calendar month. Upon the same date, each party shall deliver to the other party an accounting statement showing the Net Revenue collected by such party. All payments shall be made in the lawful currency of the United States. All payments under this Section 6.2 shall be made without set-off of any amount or nature whatsoever, whether based upon any claimed debt of any amount or liability of WSGO to WGT or vice versa. Any amounts not paid when due will be subject to finance charges at the rate of 1% per month, determined and compounded on a daily basis from the date due until the date paid. The receipt and deposit of monies by either party shall not prevent or limit the other party’s right to contest the accuracy of any statement in respect of such monies.

     6.3 Records; Audit. Each party will provide the other party with monthly reports that set forth, at a minimum, the calculation of Net Revenue collected by such Party and the details regarding the User transaction (in the case of WGT) and the WSGO Product Line transactions and the WSGO Game advertising and sponsorship transactions (in the case of each party) during the applicable month. During the Term and for twenty-four (24) months thereafter, each party will keep and maintain accurate accounts and records of the Net Revenue it collects. Upon a party’s request, the other party shall provide access to such records for examination, reproduction, and audit by the requesting party or its representatives who are reasonably acceptable to the audited party. Such audit will be conducted during normal business hours, and in a manner so as not to interfere with the audited party’s normal business operations. If any such audit discloses any understatement of the payments due under this Agreement, the party with the payment obligation shall immediately pay to the other party any deficiency, plus interest at the rate specified in Section 6.2 above. If the deficiency for the audited period is material (e.g., in excess of ten percent (10%) of the revenue sharing payments actually paid for such audited period), the party with the payment obligation shall reimburse the auditing party for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the auditing party to conduct the audit. The records relating to any such audit shall be deemed the Confidential Information of the audited party.

Section 7. Term and Termination

     7.1      Term.

     7.2      Termination. Either party may terminate the Term immediately by written notice to the other party if the other party is in breach of or default under this Agreement and fails to remedy the breach within sixty (60) days (thirty(30) days for monetary defaults) after written notice of such breach is given by the first party specifying such breach. WSGO shall also have the right to terminate the Term immediately by written notice to WGT if by June 9, 2009 WSGO and WGT have not reached mutual agreement pursuant to Section 2 upon the final Work Statement, Specifications and Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if WGT fails to host and operate the WSGO Game or offer and operate the WSGO Product Line e-shops in accordance with the mutually agreed upon standards, then WSGO will have the right, at WSGO’s option, to terminate those services or implement the provisions of mutually agreed upon service level remedies.

In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (a) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (b) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (c) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
