Quality Units of games produced
Building Square footage used
Industrial Engineering Units of games produced
Manufacturing Administration Direct labor dollars
Material Control Units of games produced

video games produced in relation to the number of models of amusement games
produced by all operations. Quality control departments
-5-

permit orderly production scheduling by WMS. So long as the provisions of
Section 4 of this Agreement are in effect, Midway shall be required to use WMS
as Midway's sole manufacturing source for cabinets and assembly of coin-operated
video games; provided, however, that Midway may use other sources if WMS is
unable to perform its manufacturing and assembly operations consistent with
industry standards of quality or in the event WMS is prevented from
manufacturing and assembly due to force majeure, as defined in Section 15
hereof.
5. ENGINEERING AND ENGINEERING SUPPORT.
5.1 Midway will continue to conduct its own design and

lease has been assigned to Midway. Midway will bear all costs under such lease
and all identifiable costs of operating the Roscoe Facility. The common costs of
operating the three-building complex at which the Roscoe Facility is located
will be allocated on the basis of square footage of floor space used.
5.2 Certain engineering support activities, such as
blue prints and engineering standards, will be provided for Midway by WMS and
allocated based upon estimated usage. Certain engineers may be employed directly
by Midway and others will be employed by WMS and devote a portion of their time
to Midway. The costs of development activities for the benefit of Midway
conducted by WMS employees will be charged to Midway.
-6-

6. SALES AND MARKETING. Substantially all video game advertising
and promotion will be charged directly by Midway. To the extent that there are

individual show. European sales office expenses will be allocated to Midway
based on the percentage of Midway game sales in Europe to total European core
amusement game sales. All other common sales and marketing costs, including
services provided by WMS' Creative Services department, will be allocated to

sales.
7. WARRANTY AND FIELD SERVICE. WMS will provide warranty and
general field service for coin-operated video games at the request of Midway.
Warranty transaction costs will be allocated to Midway based upon the number of
coin-operated video game warranty transactions at the average annual cost of all
amusement game warranty transactions of the WMS parts department. Material
components of coin-operated video game warranty transactions will be supplied by
Midway at its cost or charged by WMS based on standard materials costs. Field
service departmental costs will be allocated to Midway from the WMS amusement
games central field service department based on the number of telephone calls
received in respect of coin-operated video games in relation to total telephone
calls received in respect of amusement games.
8. LEGAL, ADMINISTRATIVE, ETC.
8.1 WMS will provide legal and administrative services at the
request of Midway. The cost of using WMS' in house lawyers will be charged to

charged to Midway on an identified basis. Midway
-7-
8
will retain its own attorneys to perform its public company compliance work.
Payroll processing, telephone and miscellaneous fees will be allocated to Midway
based on head count. All other administrative expenses (other than corporate
expenses) will be allocated to Midway based upon the percentage of Midway games
sales to the total of core amusement game sales. Information services and human
resources will be allocated to Midway based upon salaried head count.
8.2 Corporate office expenses will be determined by types of
costs. Costs relating to WMS' public company costs, financing and hotels will be
borne entirely by WMS. Individual officers' compensation and expenses and office
operating costs, including payroll, fringes and general external professional
expenses, will be allocated to amusement game and other activities based upon
WMS' management estimates of the time devoted to each. The total corporate
expenses allocated to the entire amusement game activities will be allocated to
Midway based upon Midway game sales and total amusement game sales.
9. BANKING. Midway shall use its best efforts to establish its
own banking relations independent of WMS as soon as practicable after the
effective date of the Public Offering.
10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. To the extent employees of Midway
continue to be covered under WMS health, retirement or other benefit plans, WMS'
costs in respect thereof shall be allocated as follows: to the extent such costs
can be identified with a specific employee, such costs shall be allocated on an
identified basis, or, to the extent such costs cannot be identified with a
specific employee, such costs shall be allocated, along with fringe benefits, in
accordance with the relative number of employees participating in such plans.
-8-

11. BILLING AND PAYMENT PROCEDURES. Within 15 days after the end
of each month, WMS shall provide Midway with a statement of estimated charges
allocated to Midway during the preceding month under this Agreement, together
with a reasonably detailed explanation of such charges. Midway shall pay such
charges within five days after receipt of such statement. Within 20 days after
the end of each fiscal quarter, WMS shall provide Midway with a reconciliation
statement reflecting actual charges allocated to Midway and during such quarter
under this Agreement and payments made by Midway in respect thereof, together
with a reasonably detailed explanation of such charges. Midway or WMS, as the
case may be, shall pay the amount reflected on such reconciliation statement,
within five days after receipt thereof by Midway. If Midway disputes the
accuracy of any reconciliation statement or explanation submitted by WMS, Midway
shall nevertheless pay the invoiced charges on a timely basis, but Midway may
submit such dispute to the Negotiating Committee. If at least three members of
the Negotiating Committee determine that the charges were incorrect and that
Midway has overpaid WMS, their decision shall be final and WMS shall promptly
repay Midway the amount determined to be repayable by the Negotiating Committee.
If at least three members of the Negotiating Committee determine that the
charges were correct and that Midway has not overpaid WMS, their decision shall
be final. If the Negotiating Committee is divided 2-2, the dispute shall be
submitted to a "Big Six" accounting firm mutually acceptable to Midway and WMS
for resolution, whose decision shall be final. If Midway fails to submit such
dispute to the Negotiating Committee within 60 days after receipt of the
reconciliation statement from WMS, Midway shall be deemed to accept such
charges.

12. THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS. WMS and/or Midway are party to
numerous agreements with third parties, including, without limitation, the
agreements set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, with respect to game development, the
obtention or grant of licenses and other matters which provide for, among other
matters, the receipt of payments, the obligation to make payments to third
parties, recoupment of prior advances, rights of first refusal, reporting and
monitoring of intellectual property rights. Royalties and expenses for external
and internal development and fees and expenses for external licenses applicable
to Midway's products will be charged to Midway at their cost to WMS. WMS and
Midway will allocate all other rights and obligations under such third party
agreements so that Midway will receive the benefit and bear the burden of such
agreements as they relate to Midway games, Atari games and home video games and
WMS will receive the benefit and bear the burden of such agreements as they
relate to all other amusement games. With respect to advance royalty or
guaranteed royalty payments received by Midway or which Midway is entitled to
receive by reason of agreements entered into on or prior the Effective Date
which are recoupable out of monies which would otherwise be payable to WMS as
license fees on or after the Effective Date, Midway shall, to the extent such
license fees are not paid directly to WMS by reason of such recoupment, remit to
WMS an amount equal to the license fees that would have been payable to WMS. WMS
acknowledges that the common stock purchase warrants issued by GT Interactive in
the name of Midway are the exclusive property of Midway.
