Mr. Grollemund’s annual base salary will initially be $348,300 and will be reviewed on each anniversary of the effective date of the Grollemund Agreement (or such other time at which salaries of other executives are reviewed) and may at those times be increased, but not decreased, by the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Additionally, Mr. Grollemund will be eligible to receive an annual bonus, with a target amount of 50% of his base salary, the actual amount of which, if any, will be based upon Mr. Grollemund’s achievement of certain financial and business objectives determined by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Grollemund also received a transaction bonus of $169,000 and is eligible to receive a special performance bonus of $168,000, payable in a single lump sum on the first anniversary of the effective date of the Grollemund Agreement, subject to the terms of a prior bonus agreement between Mr. Grollemund and Vivendi Games, Inc., including Mr. Grollemund’s continued employment with the Company through that date.
Pursuant to the Grollemund Agreement, on July 21, 2008 Mr. Grollemund received a grant of 6,000 restricted share units under the Activision, Inc. 2007 Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”).

The restricted share units shall be subject to all terms of the 2007 Plan and the Company’s standard form of employee award agreement.
