ADDENDUM A
1.
The fact that there is an official Beta Program for the Game.
2.
The fact that you are a member of the official Beta Program for the Game.
ADDENDUM B
1.
Any contact/private information for EA personnel that is provided to you.
2.
Any contact information (address, password, etc.) to any private areas for use in connection with the Beta Program, including but not limited to, chat,
email and message boards.
3.
Any information/discussions/postings from the private boards or forum for the Beta Program.
4.
Any comments/information that would allow people who are not currently part of the Beta Program to get access to the Beta Program or Game
through either legitimate or illegitimate means.
5.

Any comments on any aspect of the Game or other Beta Materials not covered by Addendum A above.

ADDENDUM C
BETA PROGRAM CODE OF CONDUCT
You agree:
1.
That you are privileged guests on this system and as guests, we expect you to exhibit common courtesy to all EA personnel as well as other
members of the Beta Program. EA (“we” or “us”) will exhibit the same courtesy towards you.
2.
You will be helping us shape the Game into a great product and we value your comments/insights/etc. However, that is not a license to be rude,
nasty, demanding or generally unreasonable. Please remember that we will be dealing with a lot of people and, as such, a lot of differing opinions
regarding what is right or wrong with the game. Just because we don’t agree with you doesn’t mean we don’t value your continued input.
3.
We need your feedback. Your access as a beta tester for the Game is not a free ride we expect something in return and that is your help.
4.
When posting messages about the game in our private message boards or when sending email, please try to be as professional as possible. Repeat
the facts as accurately as you can and without undue emotionalism. Saying things like “This game sucks because I lost my character when I did
something that crashed the game” is not helpful. If you like something, don’t hesitate to tell us. By the same token, if you do not like something or
think that something can be improved don’t hesitate to tell us that as well. You will never be banned, punished, taken to task, etc. for speaking your
mind in an open, honest and professional manner. Honest, well thought out criticism is as valuable to us as are suggestions or praise.
5.
Before posting messages publicly about the game outside the EA boards, please be sure you are adhering to the confidentiality terms of this
Agreement and the instructions in Addendum A and Addendum B above. Provided that you are expressly permitted to disclose the information as
provided in Addendum A, we do not mind if you say things that are critical about the game but remember that we still have a long way to go. We do
not expect you to be mindless shills for EA or for the Game but neither do we expect you to trash the game just for the sake of trashing it.
6.
If requested by EA personnel to help test an aspect of the game, please cooperate. The sooner we work things out, the sooner the game goes LIVE.
7.
Vulgar expressions, course language, abusive behavior, verbal harassment will not be tolerated either towards EA personnel or other beta testers.
The use of such language, whether or not you consider it in-character, is not acceptable, whether you use it in casual and public speech, 'private
links', contacts or even in a character's name.
8.
Part of beta testing a product is the responsibility to report all bugs to EA. Abuse of 'bugs', 'undocumented features' or other such things will not be
tolerated. It is the responsibility of all players to report all problems, errors or bugs in the game to EA as soon as they are found. The continued used
of such is contrary to EA policy as such bugs/errors can damage and delay the completion of this beta test. Additionally, if you know about a bug or
have heard about a bug and fail to report the bug to EA, you will be treated no differently from someone who abuses the bug. We reserve the right to
lock anyone caught abusing a bug out of all EA products forever.
9.
You will not behave in any manner that is contrary to the 'spirit of the game' as defined by EA in its sole discretion.
10.
You will not represent yourself as an officer or employee, sub-contractor or somehow being connected with EA, EA’s Licensors or the Game. We
reserve the right to lock anyone caught doing that out of all EA products forever.
11.
You acknowledge and agree that your communications with other users, beta testers or EA via chats, conferences, bulletin boards, and any other
avenues of communication within the Game or as part of this Beta Program are public and not private communications, and that you have no
expectation of privacy concerning your use of this Game and participation in this Beta Program. You acknowledge that personal information that you
communicate within the Game or in connection with this Beta Program may be seen and used by others and result in unsolicited communications,
therefore we strongly encourage you not to disclose any personal information about yourself in your public communications within the Game or the
Beta Program. EA is not responsible for information that you choose to communicate to other users within the Game or the Beta Program, or for the
actions of other users.
12.
In the unfortunate event that a player has engaged in unacceptable behavior, said player will be treated accordingly. EA in its sole discretion,
reserves the right to terminate the player’s access to the Beta Program and/or the Game immediately and without further notice.
I have read and accept the above terms and conditions.

Licensee acknowledges that PunkBuster software may be required for using or enjoying games that integrate PunkBuster software technology.
Licensee also acknowledges and agrees that PunkBuster software is self-updating, which means that future updates will, from time to time and
without any notice, automatically be downloaded and installed as a normal and expected function of PunkBuster software. Licensee further
acknowledges and accepts that PunkBuster software may be considered invasive. Licensee understands that PunkBuster software inspects and
reports information about the computer on which it is installed to other connected computers and Licensee agrees to allow PunkBuster software to
inspect and report such information about the computer on which Licensee installs PunkBuster software. Licensee understands and agrees that the
information that may be inspected and reported by PunkBuster software includes, but is not limited to, Licensee’s Internet Protocol Address, devices
and any files residing on the hard-drive and in the memory of the computer on which PunkBuster software is installed. Licensee acknowledges and
agrees that if Licensee does not want Licensor to collect and process such information, Licensee should not use the PunkBuster software. Further,
Licensee consents to allow PunkBuster software to transfer actual screenshots taken of Licensee’s computer during the operation of PunkBuster
software for possible publication. Licensee understands that the purpose and goal of PunkBuster is to ensure a cheat-free environment for all
participants in online games. Licensee agrees that the invasive nature of PunkBuster software is necessary to meet this purpose and goal. Licensee
agrees that any harm or lack of privacy resulting from the installation and use of PunkBuster software is not as valuable to Licensee as the potential
ability to play interactive online games with the benefits afforded by using PunkBuster software.

Licensee agrees not to export or re-export into any country subject to U.S. trade sanctions or to which the U.S. has embargoed goods or to any
nationals or residents of such countries unless such nationals are permanent residents of a country that is not subject either to such sanctions or
embargoed goods. LICENSEE AGREES NOT TO DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR USE PUNKBUSTER SOFTWARE IN A COUNTRY OR LOCALE
WHERE SUCH ACTION WOULD VIOLATE ANY LAW OR ORDINANCE.

This Software License Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the applicable laws of the State of Texas and applicable
United States federal law. Exclusive venue for all litigation regarding this Agreement shall be in Harris County, Texas. Licensee agrees that any
portion of this Agreement found to be invalid or unenforceable shall be modified, to the extent allowed by law, so as to allow for the enforcement of
the original intended meaning of the portion found to be invalid or unenforceable.

PUNKBUSTER SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
AND WITHOUT LIMITATION, THAT IT IS FREE OF DEFECTS, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THAT IT IS MERCHANTABLE.
LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF PUNKBUSTER SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE
OR THAT IT WILL MEET LICENSEE'S SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OR DESIRES. LICENSEE AGREES THAT NEITHER EVEN BALANCE, INC.,
ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, BUSINESS PARTNERS, SUCCESSORS NOR
ASSIGNS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER INVOLVING PUNKBUSTER SOFTWARE IN ANY WAY. FURTHERMORE,
SHOULD ANY VERSION OF PUNKBUSTER SOFTWARE, INCLUDING FUTURE VERSIONS, PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY WAY, LICENSEE
ASSUMES THE ENTIRE COST, IF ANY, OF LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY TYPE AND TO ANY DEGREE. THIS WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THE LICENSE OF PUNKBUSTER SOFTWARE BY LICENSEE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE
LICENSE IS TERMINATED BY EVENBALANCE, INC. OR LICENSEE.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Licensor and Licensee and supercedes any prior statements, whether written or oral.
