The PRODUCTION SERVICES shall consist of the services listed on Schedule 1. Atari or IESA may at any time amend Schedule I with the prior written consent of the other party. The PRODUCTION SERVICES will be provided to IESA to the extent that the conduct of its business during the Term undergoes no significant change that would materially expand Atari’s obligations hereunder as they exist at the beginning of the Term.

            (b) Except as specifically provided in Schedule I , Atari or its subsidiaries, as applicable, shall provide each of the PRODUCTION SERVICES listed in Schedule I for a term commencing on the date hereof and ending on March 31, 2011, unless earlier terminated by IESA or Atari in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof (collectively, the “PRODUCTION SERVICES Period” or “Term.”)

            (c) Atari or its subsidiaries, as applicable, shall provide the PRODUCTION SERVICES to IESA and/or its affiliates promptly with that degree of skill, attention and care that Atari exercises and has heretofore exercised with respect to furnishing comparable services to itself and its affiliates.

            (e) Unless otherwise specified in Schedule I, all employees and representatives of Atari or its subsidiaries, as applicable (other than Bruno Bonnell), providing the PRODUCTION SERVICES hereunder to IESA during the Term of this Agreement (collectively, the “PRODUCTION SERVICES Employees”) shall be deemed for all purposes (including compensation and employee benefits) to be employees or representatives solely of Atari and not to be employees or representatives of IESA or to be independent contractors thereof. In performing their respective duties hereunder, all such employees and representatives of Atari shall be under the direction, control and supervision of Atari and Atari shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to the employment (including termination of employment), assignment and compensation of such employees and representatives, subject to compliance with the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement including, without limitation, the provision of the PRODUCTION SERVICES.
