Item 5. Other Event.
Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 14, 1997, the
Company issued and sold to Infinity Investors Limited, Infinity Emerging
Opportunities Limited and Glacier Capital Limited (collectively, the "Funds")
(i) 10% secured convertible notes (the "Notes") in the aggregate principal
amount of $4,200,000; (ii) 50,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Grant Shares"); and (iii) five-year warrants (the "Warrants") to
purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares") exercisable at a
price of $6.46 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the
Notes, Grant Shares and Warrants was $4,007,000. In addition, the Company paid
$168,000 and issued 20,000 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 5,000
shares of Common Stock to Whale Securities Co., L.P. as a fee for services
rendered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Securities
Purchase Agreement.
The Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in letters of
credit issued in respect of purchase orders for Wheel of Fortune(R) and
Jeopardy!(R) products designed for Nintendo 64 platform (the "Products"), and
are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time commencing February
28, 1998 into shares of Common Stock (the "Note Conversion Shares"), having a
value of 75% of the lowest daily weighted average sales price of the Common
Stock during a period of fifteen (15) days prior to conversion, subject to a
conversion limit (the "Conversion Limit") of 19.9% of the then issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. In the event that aggregate
Note Conversion Shares and other securities issuable under the Securities
Purchase Agreement exceed the Conversion Limit, the Company will have 60 days
following notice by the Funds to (i) obtain shareholder approval of the issuance
of such securities or (ii) repay the balance of the Notes.
The Notes mature on September 30, 1999. The Company is required to repay
the Notes prior to maturity under certain circumstances, including in the event
of a change of control, a transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets, a merger or consolidation of the Company, the issuance of securities
exceeding the Conversion Limit (if shareholder approval has not been obtained)
or the failure of the Company to fulfill certain securities registration
obligations described below. Notes repaid after February 28, 1998 are repayable
at a premium. In addition, the Company is required to prepay the Notes through
payments and collections (including draws under letters of credit) from the sale
of the Products received by the Company after December 31, 1997. In addition,
under certain circumstances (including in the event the value of the collateral
securing the Notes does not equal or exceed the unpaid principal amount of the
Notes), the Company will be required to establish a lockbox account into which
all collections related to the products will be deposited.
<PAGE>
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue
additional Grant Shares (the "Additional Grant Shares") to the Funds in the
event that the closing bid price of the Common Stock during the period ending
thirty days from the date of effectiveness of a registration statement covering
the Grant Shares (adjusted for certain events specified in the agreement) does
not equal $7.75. In the event that any Additional Grant Shares are issued, the
exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted so that the value of the
Warrants (using a Black-Scholes or similar model) equals the value of the
Warrants as of the closing date.
The Company granted to the Funds registration rights covering the Note
Conversion Shares, Grant Shares, Warrant Shares and Additional Grant Shares
(collectively, the "Securities") pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement.
Under such agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement
covering the sale of the Securities on or prior to April 14, 1998 and use its
best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective by June
30, 1998.
The Company also agreed to certain covenants, including limitations on the
issuance of securities, mergers and acquisitions, incurrence of indebtedness,
liens, the payment of dividends, capital expenditures and minimum levels of net
worth.
The foregoing summary descriptions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and
collateral documents are not necessarily complete and are qualified in their

SECTION 3.6. Prepayment Procedures.
(a) Any prepayment or redemption of the Convertible Notes pursuant to
Sections 3.4 or 3.5 above shall be deemed to be effective and consummated (for

shall thereafter not be entitled to deliver a Notice of Conversion for the

(I) A prepayment pursuant to Sections 3.4, the "prepayment date"
specified therein;
(II) A redemption pursuant to Section 3.5(a), the date of consummation
of the applicable Change of Control, merger, asset sale, or delivery of the
notice specified following the Registration Default;
(III) A redemption pursuant to Section 3.5(a), the date of

or (y) the effective date of a repayment or redemption of the Convertible Notes,
the Company shall deposit the applicable repayment/redemption price with the

Notwithstanding those procedures set forth in the Transfer Agent Agreement, the
Purchaser may authorize the Company to pay all amounts due under the Convertible
Notes directly to the Purchasers, followed by notice of the amount so paid to
the Transfer Agent. Should any Purchaser not receive payment of any amounts due
on redemption of its Convertible Notes by reason of the Company's failure to
make payment at the times prescribed above for any reason, the Company shall pay
to the applicable holder on demand (x) interest on the sums not paid when due at

Convertible Notes being redeemed plus four percent (4%) compounded at the end of
each thirty (30) days, until the applicable holder is paid in full, and (y) all
costs of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs, whether or not suit or other formal proceedings are instituted. All
payments shall first be applied to accrued and unpaid interest.
(c) The Company shall select the Convertible Notes to be redeemed in any
redemption in which not all of the Convertible Notes are to be redeemed so that
the ratio of the Convertible Notes of each holder selected for redemption to the
total Convertible Notes owned by that holder shall be the same as the ratio of
all such Convertible Notes selected for redemption bears to the total of all
then outstanding Convertible Notes. Should any Convertible Notes be required to
be redeemed under the terms hereof not be redeemed solely by reason of
limitations

imposed by law, the applicable Convertible Notes shall be redeemed on the
earliest possible dates thereafter that the applicable Convertible Notes may be
redeemed to the maximum extent permitted by law.
(d) Any Notice of Conversion delivered by any Purchaser (including delivery
via telecopy) to the Company and the Transfer Agent after the date the
Convertible Notes become convertible by their terms and prior to the (x)
Maturity Date (if applicable) or (y) effective date of a redemption specified in
Section 3.6(a) above, shall be honored by the Company and the conversion of the
Convertible Notes shall be deemed effected on the Conversion Date. In addition,
between the effective date of a redemption specified in Section 3.6(a) above and
the date the Company is required to deliver the redemption proceeds to the
Purchasers, if the Convertible Notes are convertible by their terms, the
Purchasers may deliver a Notice of Conversion to the Company. Such notice will
be (x) of no force or effect if the Company timely pays the redemption proceeds
to the Purchasers when due or (y) honored as of the date of the Notice of
Conversion if the Company fails to timely pay the redemption proceeds to the
Purchasers when due.
SECTION 3.7. Ranking. The Convertible Notes will rank as secured
obligations of the Company, parri passu to all other indebtedness of the Company
not expressly subordinated to these Convertible Notes.
SECTION 3.8. Payment of Additional Amounts.

Convertible Notes to any Purchaser and each "qualified assignee" thereof
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for
any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges
or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as "Taxes") unless such Taxes are required by law
or the administration thereof to be deducted or withheld. If the Company
shall be required by law or the administration thereof to deduct or
withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under the
Convertible Notes (i) the holders of Convertible Notes subject to such
Taxes shall have the right, but not the obligation, for a period of thirty
(30) days commencing upon the day it shall have received written notice
from the Company that it is required to withhold Taxes to transfer all or
any portion of the Convertible Notes to a qualified assignee to the extent
such transfer can be effected in accordance with the other provisions of
this Agreement and applicable law; (ii) the Company shall make such
deductions or withholdings; and (iii) the Company shall forthwith pay the
full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other
authority in accordance with applicable law. A "qualified assignee" of a
Purchaser is a Person that is organized under the laws of (I) the United
States or (II) any jurisdiction other than the United States or any
political subdivision thereof and that (y) represents and warrants to each
of the Company that payments of the Company to such assignee under the laws
in existence on the date of
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this Agreement would not be subject to any Taxes and (z) from time to time,
as and when requested by the Company, executes and delivers to the Company
and the Internal Revenue Service forms, and provides the Company with any
information necessary to establish such assignee's continued exemption from
Taxes under applicable law.
(b) If Taxes are imposed upon the Company and the holders of
Convertible Notes subject to such Taxes have not exercised their right to
transfer the Convertible Notes to a qualified assignee as set forth in this
Section 3.8 (either by notice to the Company to that effect or failure to
exercise such right within the thirty (30) day period prescribed), the
Company shall either:
(i) On the fifth (5th) Business Day after the failure to exercise
such right (such day being referred to as the "redemption date")
prepay all of the Convertible Notes remaining unconverted on the
redemption date and held by a party subject to Taxes in cash for the
Par Value Redemption Price; or
(ii):
(I) The sum payable by the Company to the Purchasers shall be
increased as may be necessary by the Company so that after
making all required deductions or withholdings (including
deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts
paid under this Section 3.8), such Purchaser receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received if such
deduction or withholding had been made; and
(II) The Company shall indemnify each Purchaser or qualified
assignee, for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes
(including, without limitation, any taxes or Other Taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
Section 3.8) paid by each Purchaser, or qualified assignee,
and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made
within thirty (30) days from the date such Purchaser or
assignee makes written demand therefore. A certificate as to
the amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes submitted to the
Company by such Purchaser or assignee shall be inclusive
evidence of the amount due from the Company to such party.
(c) If the Company pays any Taxes or Other Taxes, the Purchasers shall
cooperate in good faith with the Company to receive any tax credit or
refund in the amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to the
Purchasers (each a "Tax Refund").
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT - Page 18

<PAGE>
Upon the receipt by the Purchasers of any Tax Refund, the Purchasers shall
promptly remit the same to the Company.
(d) The Company shall forthwith pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies (all such taxes, charges and levies hereinafter referred to as
"Other Taxes") which arise from any payment made under any of the Financing
Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement other than Taxes payable solely as a result
of the transfer from the Purchasers to a Person of any Security.
(e) The Company shall indemnify each Purchaser, or qualified assignee,
for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation,
any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable
under this Section 3.8) paid by each Purchaser, or qualified assignee, and
any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification
shall be made within 30 days from the date such Purchaser or assignee makes
written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such Taxes or
Other Taxes submitted to the Company by such Purchaser or assignee shall be
conclusive evidence of the amount due from the Company to such party.
(f) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Company
will furnish to each Purchaser the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(g) Each of the Purchasers shall provide to the Company a Form W-8,
stating that it is a non-U.S. person, together with any additional tax
forms which may be required under the Code, as amended after the date
hereof, to allow interest payments to be made to it without deduction.
SECTION 3.9. Collateral; Collateral Maintenance.
(a) Payment of the Convertible Notes and all indebtedness, liabilities and
obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the other Financing
Documents shall be secured by a first priority security interest on, in and to
the collateral security described in the Security Agreement and the Subsidiary
Security Agreement (collectively, the "Collateral"). Purchasers shall be
entitled to retain, as collateral security, for the payment of the Secured
Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), any amounts drawn under
letters of credit constituting Collateral to the extent that the Company has not
complied with this Section 3.9 hereof and to apply such amounts to payment of
the Convertible Notes.

(b) Not later than fourteen (14) days after the Closing Date (the
"Additional Collateral Date"), the Company shall assign to the Purchasers (or
their representative), and shall grant to the Purchasers a security interest in,
Acceptable Letters of Credit such that at all times after the Additional
Collateral Date the outstanding undrawn aggregate face amount of the Acceptable
Letters of Credit which have been assigned to the Purchasers (and in which the
Purchasers shall have been granted a first priority security interest) shall
equal or exceed the unpaid principal balance of the Convertible Notes. In the
event that the Company fails to assign such additional Acceptable Letters of
Credit to the Purchasers (and grant to the Purchasers a first priority security
interest in such Acceptable Letters of Credit) by the Additional Collateral
Date, or if on any date after the Additional Collateral Date the unpaid
principal balance of the Convertible Notes exceeds the outstanding undrawn
aggregate face amount of the Acceptable Letters of Credit which have been
assigned to the Purchasers and in which the Purchasers have a first priority
security interest (in either event, a "Lockbox Event"), the Company shall,
within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of such Lockbox Event,
establish a lockbox account with Citibank, N.A., pursuant to the form of
agreement attached as Exhibit K hereto, as to which the Purchasers or their
representative shall have the sole right of withdrawal and into which all
payments and collections with respect to the Products and all accounts
receivable and purchase orders of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating

satisfactory to the Purchasers in their sole discretion. The Company shall
deliver to the Purchasers, on the date of assignment, the original counterparts
of all additional Acceptable Letters of Credit assigned to the Purchasers
pursuant to this Section 3.9(b).

deliver 50,000 shares of Common Stock to the Purchasers and, at the Company's
option, the Company will either (x) deliver the Excess Shares to the Purchasers,
or (y) deliver a note in a principal amount equal to the product of the number

the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not,
require any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body,
agency or governmental official except (a) such actions or filings that have

issuance and sale by the Company of the Securities did not and will not and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not

SECTION 8.20. Limitation on Asset Sales. Neither the Company nor any

that the Company can engage in Asset Sales otherwise prohibited by this Section
8.21 not exceeding $500,000 over the life of the Convertible Notes and sales of
obsolete, worn-out or no longer useful assets in the ordinary course of
business. As used herein, "Asset Sale" means any sale, lease, transfer or other
disposition (or series of related sales, leases, transfers or dispositions) of
shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary (other than directors' qualifying
shares), property or other assets (each referred to for the purposes of this
definition as a "disposition"), except sale of Products and other inventory or

merger, consolidation or similar transaction (other than as permitted under
Section 8.13).
SECTION 8.21. Limitation on Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any

of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit
issuance of the Grant Shares, Additional Grant Shares, Conversion Shares
and Warrant Shares.
(b) The Company will maintain the listing of its Common Stock on the

delivery to the Purchasers, copies of any notices it receives from Nasdaq
regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on the
Nasdaq Market;
(c) The Company will not repurchase or otherwise enter into any other
transaction (including stock split, recapitalization or other transaction)
which would cause a decrease in the number of its shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding (other than transactions that similarly decrease the
number of shares of Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes and
Warrants are convertible or exercisable, as the case may be);
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) The Company will (i) retain the Transfer Agent as the stock
transfer agent for the Company's Common Stock, and (ii) if the Transfer
Agent voluntarily or involuntarily fails to so serve, select an
independent, unaffiliated replacement stock transfer agent willing to
perform the duties of the Transfer Agent under the Transfer Agent
Agreement; and
(e) On or prior to the date that the Commission declares effective the
Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly secure the listing of
the Grant Shares, Additional Grant Shares (if applicable), Conversion
Shares and the Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange or
automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are
then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so
long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listings
of all Grant Shares, Additional Grant Shares (if applicable), Conversion
Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes
or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
SECTION 8.23. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Upon conversion of any
Convertible Notes in accordance with their terms, and/or exercise of any
Warrants in accordance with their terms, the Company will, and will use its best
lawful efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to, issue one or more certificates
representing Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, in such
name or names and in such denominations specified by a Purchaser in a Notice of
Conversion or Notice of Exercise, as the case may be. As long as the
Registration Statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement shall
remain effective and the following shares are registered thereunder, the Grant
Shares, Additional Grants Shares, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares shall be
issued to any transferee of such shares from a Purchaser without restrictive
legend, provided such shares have been disposed of in a manner in accordance
with the plan of distribution set forth in the prospectus forming part of the
Registration Statement and the Transfer Agent has received a confirmation in a
form customarily utilized by the applicable registered broker/dealer
substantially to the effect that the prospectus delivery requirements have been
satisified. The Company further warrants and agrees that no instructions other
than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent.
Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way a Purchaser's obligations to
comply with all securities laws applicable to such Purchaser upon resale of such
shares of Common Stock, including any prospectus delivery requirements.
SECTION 8.24. Form D; Blue Sky Laws. The Company agrees to file a Form D
with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a
copy thereof to the Purchasers' Representative promptly after such filing. The
Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is
necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the Purchasers at the Closing
under applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws of the states of the United
States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualifications), and shall provide
evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchasers' Representative on or
prior to the Closing Date.

SECTION 8.25. Further Assurances - Collateral. The Company agrees that at
any time and from time to time it will promptly execute and deliver to the
Purchasers all further instruments and documents and take all further action
that may be reasonably necessary, or that the Purchasers may reasonably request,
in order to establish, perfect and protect the security interests granted to the
Purchasers under the Security Agreement and the Subsidiary Security Agreement or
to enable the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies
thereunder with respect to any Collateral. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that all costs and expenses incurred in connection with perfecting and securing
the security interests of the Purchasers in the additional acceptable letters of
credit shall be borne by the Company and shall be payable to the Purchasers on
demand. Such costs and expenses shall include, without limitation, all filing
and recording fees and taxes, handling and courier fees, and the costs of search
reports obtained in connection with such filings and records, wherever incurred.

HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY
THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO
THE COMPANY, (B) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE

Purchaser which is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act, provided that any such transferee shall agree to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement, or (iii) to be made in reliance on Rule
144 under the Securities Act, the holder thereof shall give written notice to
the Company of such holder's intention to effect such Transfer, setting forth

accompanied by (A) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
confirming that such transfer does not give rise to a violation of the
Securities Act, (B) representation letters in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to ensure compliance with the
provisions of the Securities Act and (C) letters in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel from each such transferee

Agreement.
(b) The Company shall prepare and file, no later than April 14, 1998, a
registration statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form S-3 (or such other
form as is then available for registration) covering the sale of the Registrable
Securities. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the Commission no later than June 15,
1998. The Company shall pay all expenses of registration (other than
underwriting fees and discounts, if any, in respect of Registrable Securities
offered and sold under such Registration Statement by the Purchasers) in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(c) If the Registration Statement is (x) not declared effective by the
Commission by the Required Effectiveness Date, or (y) such effectiveness is not
maintained for the Registration Maintenance Period, the Company shall pay to
each Purchaser monthly, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the greater
of (x) its pro rata portion of an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which monthly amount will
be increased to 2% in the event that the Registration Statement is not declared
effective by the Commission by July 15 or (y) $2,000 for each day the
Registration Statement (i) is not declared effective by the
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT - Page 40
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
Commission by the Required Effectiveness Date or (ii) such period effectiveness
is not maintained for the Registration Maintenance Period (the "Default Fee").
(d) Any such Default Fee shall be paid in cash by the Company to the
Purchasers by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the last day of
each calendar month following the event requiring its payment.
(e) The Company shall be obligated to maintain the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement for a period of five (5) years following the Closing;
provided, that if the Warrants are no longer outstanding, such period shall be
reduced to two (2) years. If, for any reason, (including but not limited to the
issuance of all shares of Common Stock covered by the prospectus included in the
Registration Statement), the Registration Statement (i) is not declared
effective by June 15, 1998 or (ii) ceases to be effective for more than thirty
(30) days during any consecutive twelve month period (a "Registration Default"),
the holders of a majority of the Convertible Notes then outstanding may elect to
cause the Company to repay the Convertible Notes in full at the Formula Price.
SECTION 10.2. Prohibition on Equity Offerings.
(a) Until such time as all of the Convertible Notes have been repaid or
converted in full, the Company agrees that it will not issue (or, unless such
issuance would, upon the closing thereof, result in the repayment in full of the
Convertible Notes, agree to issue) any of its equity securities (or securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for equity securities (the
"Derivative Securities"), on terms that allow a holder thereof to acquire such
equity securities (or Derivative Securities) at a discount to the Market Price
of the Common Stock at the time of issuance or, in the case of Derivative
Securities (other than Convertible Notes), at a conversion price based on any
formula (other than standard anti-dilution provisions) based on the Market Price
on a date later than the date of issuance (each such event, a "Discounted Equity
Offering"). As used herein, "discount" shall include, but not be limited to, (1)
any warrant, right or other security granted or offered in connection with such
issuance which, on the applicable date of grant is offered with an exercise or
conversion price, as the case may be, at less than the then current Market Price
of the Common Stock or, if such security has an exercise or conversion price
based on any formula (other than standard anti-dilution provisions) based on the
Market Price on a date later than the date of issuance, then such price shall be
at least equal to the Market Price on such date of exercise or conversion, as
the case may be, or (2) any commissions, fees or other allowances paid in
connection with such issuances (other than customary underwriter or placement
agent commissions, fees or allowances). For the purposes of determining the
Market Price at which Common Stock is acquired under this Section, normal
underwriting commissions and placement fees (including underwriters' warrants)
are permitted.
(b) Until such time as all of the Convertible Notes have been repaid or
converted in full, the Company agrees it will not issue (or, unless such
issuance would, upon the closing thereof, result in the repayment in full of the
Convertible Notes, agree to issue) any of its equity securities
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT - Page 41
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
(or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for equity
securities), unless any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection
therewith are "restricted securities". As used herein "restricted securities"
shall mean securities which may not be sold by virtue of contractual
restrictions imposed by the Company either pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to a registration statement
filed by the Company with the Commission, in each case prior to eighteen (18)
months following the date of issuance of such securities.
(c) The restrictions contained in this Section 10.2 shall not apply to the
issuance by the Company of (or the agreement to issue) Common Stock or
Derivative Securities in connection with (w) the acquisition (including by
merger) of a business or of assets otherwise permitted under this Agreement, (x)
stock option or other compensatory plans, (y) Derivative Securities outstanding
on the date hereof, or (z) issuances of Common Stock and Derivative Securities
which do not violate or otherwise create a violation hereunder or issuances of
Common Stock upon conversion and/or exercise of such Derivative Securities.
SECTION 10.3. Liquidated Damages.
(a) The Company shall, and shall use its best efforts to cause the Transfer
Agent to, issue and deliver shares of Common Stock (x) within three (3) New York
Stock Exchange Trading Days of delivery of a Notice of Conversion or Notice of
Exercise, as applicable, with a restrictive legend, and/or (y) within five (5)
New York Stock Exchange Trading Days of delivery of a Notice of Conversion or a
Notice of Exercise, as applicable, without a restrictive legend, provided that
such shares of Common Stock have been disposed of in accordance with the plan of
distribution set forth in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration
Statement (the "Deadline"). If for any reason, other than as a result of actions
taken by a Purchaser in breach of this Agreement, the Company fails to issue
such certificates of Common Stock by the Deadline, then, as compensation, and
not as a penalty, the Company agrees to pay liquidated damages to the Purchaser
that delivered such Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise for such late
issuance of such certificates an amount equal to $1,000 per day for each day
such certificates are not delivered for the first ten (10) days after the
Deadline and $2,000 per day for each day thereafter. The Company understands
that a delay in the issuance of such certificates after the Deadline could
result in economic loss to the Purchaser.
(b) Upon demand, the Company shall promptly pay the Purchasers any
liquidated damages incurred under this Section by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to an account designated by the Purchasers. Nothing herein shall
waive the Company's obligations to timely deliver Grant Shares, Additional Grant
Shares, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares or limit any Purchaser's right to
pursue actual damages (less the amount of any liquidated damages received
pursuant to the foregoing) for the Company's failure to issue and deliver shares
of Common Stock to such Purchaser consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT - Page 42

<PAGE>
SECTION 10.4. Conversion Notice. The Company agrees that, in addition to
any other remedies which may be available to the Purchasers, including, but not
limited to, the remedies available under Section 10.3, in the event the Company
fails for any reason (other than as a result of actions taken by a Purchaser in
breach of this Agreement) to effect delivery to a Purchaser of certificates
representing Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares on or prior to the Deadline,
such Purchaser will be entitled, if prior to the delivery of such certificates,
to revoke the Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise by delivering a notice
to such effect to the Company and to the Transfer Agent, whereupon the Company
and the Purchaser shall each be restored to their respective positions
immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion or Notice of
Exercise.
SECTION 10.5. Limitation on Conversion Prior to Default.
(a) In addition to and not in lieu of the limitations on conversion set
forth in the Convertible Notes and Warrants, the conversion and exercise rights
of the Purchasers set forth in the Convertible Notes and Warrants, as
applicable, shall be limited, solely to the extent required, from time to time,
such that in no instance shall the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
which the Purchasers (singularly, together with any Persons who in the
determination of such Purchasers, together with such Purchasers, constitute a
"group" as defined in Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) may receive in respect of
any conversion of the Convertible Notes or exercise of the Warrants, exceed, at
any one time, an amount equal to the remainder of (i) 4.99% of the then issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company following such conversion
or exercise minus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then
owned by the Purchasers (but exclusive of any shares of Common Stock deemed
beneficially owned due to ownership of the Convertible Notes and Warrants) (the
foregoing being herein referred to as the "Limitation on Conversion"). At the
written request of the Company, the applicable Purchasers shall certify in each
Notice of Conversion and Notice of Exercise that it is in compliance with the
Limitation on Conversion.
(b) The Limitation on Conversion shall not apply, and shall be of no
further force and effect, (i) upon the occurrence of any voluntary or mandatory
redemption transaction described in Sections 3.4 or 3.5 hereof, (ii) on and
following the Maturity Date or (iii) following the occurrence of any Event of
Default described in Section 12.1 hereof and for which the applicable Purchaser
has provided written notice thereof and which is not cured within the greater of
the applicable time period specified in either (A) such written notice of the
applicable Purchaser or (B) Section 12.1 hereof.
(c) If, at any time, the aggregate shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Notes, issuance of the Grant Shares and Additional
Grant Shares and exercise of the Warrants exceeds the Conversion Limit (as
hereafter defined) then in effect, (I) the Company shall deliver a notice to
that effect to the Purchasers and the Transfer Agent ("Company Notice") and (ii)
the Company shall, at the option of he Purchasers, within sixty (60) days of the
Company Notice either (a) obtain approval of the Company's shareholders (or an
appropriate waiver from the
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT - Page 43
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
Nasdaq Market) of the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the
Conversion Limit in a quantity reasonably acceptable to the purchasers and in
all events sufficient to honor conversion in full of the Convertible Notes,
issuance of the Grant Shares and Additional Grant shares and exercise in full of
the Warrants, or (b) repay the Convertible Notes at the Formula Price and redeem
the Warrants at the Warrant Redemption Price. The term "Warrant Redemption
Price" shall mean the greater of (x) the appraised value of the Warrants on the
date they are called for redemption (determined with reference to a
"Black-Sholes" or similar option pricing model) and (y) the product of the
excess of (1) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the date that the Warrants
for called for redemption over (2) the exercise price of the Warrants.
(d) As used herein, "Conversion Limit" shall mean twenty percent (19.9%) of
the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company as of the
applicable date of determination, or such greater number of shares as the
shareholders of the Company may have previously approved (the "Maximum Number of
Shares").
(e) Subject to the foregoing limitations, each Purchaser shall, at its
option, have the sole right to determine whether to exercise the right of
conversion or exercise for the Convertible Notes and Warrants. The Company shall
honor each Notice of Conversion and Notice of Exercise in the order received.
ARTICLE XI
ADJUSTMENT OF FIXED PRICE
SECTION 11.1. Reorganization. The exercise price of the Warrants set forth
therein (collectively, the "Fixed Prices") shall be adjusted as hereafter
provided.
SECTION 11.2. Share Reorganization. If and whenever the Company shall:
(i) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares;
(ii) consolidate the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares;
(iii) issue Common Stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend to all or
substantially all the holders of Common Stock; or
(iv) make a distribution on the outstanding Common Stock to all or
substantially all the holders of Common Stock payable in Common Stock or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock;
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT - Page 44
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
any of such events being herein called a "Share Reorganization", then in each
such case the applicable Fixed Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately
after the record date at which the holders of Common Stock are determined for
the purposes of the Share Reorganization or, if no record date is fixed, the
effective date of the Share Reorganization, by multiplying the applicable Fixed
Price in effect on such record or effective date, as the case may be, by a
fraction of which:
(I) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such record or effective date (without giving effect to the
transaction); and
(II) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after giving effect to such Share Reorganization, including, in
the case of a distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable
for shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock that would
have been outstanding if such securities had been converted into or
exchanged for Common Stock on such record or effective date.
SECTION 11.3. Rights Offering. If and whenever the Company shall issue to
all or substantially all the holders of Common Stock, rights, options or
warrants under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not
more than 45 days after the record date of such issue, to subscribe for or
purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock), at a price per share (or, in the case of securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock, at an exchange or conversion price per share at
the date of issue of such securities) of less than 95% of the Market Price of
the Common Stock on such record date (any such event being herein called a
"Rights Offering"), then in each such case the applicable Fixed Price shall be
adjusted, effective immediately after the record date at which holders of Common
Stock are determined for the purposes of the Rights Offering, by multiplying the
applicable Fixed Price in effect on such record date by a fraction of which:
(i) the numerator shall be the sum of:
(I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record
date; and
(II) a number obtained by dividing:
(A) either,
(x) the product of the total number of shares of Common Stock so
offered for subscription or purchase and the price at which such
shares are so offered, or
(y) the product of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
into or for which the convertible or exchangeable securities so
offered for subscription or
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT - Page 45
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
purchase may be converted or exchanged and the conversion or exchange
price of such securities,
as the case may be, by
(B) the Market Price of the Common Stock on such record date; and
(ii) the denominator shall be the sum of:
(I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
record date; and
(II) the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase (or, in the case of securities convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock, the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock for or into which the securities so offered for
subscription or purchase may be converted or exchanged).
To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to
the expiry time thereof, the applicable Fixed Price shall be readjusted
effective immediately after such expiry time to the applicable Fixed Price which
would then have been in effect upon the number of shares of Common Stock (or
securities exchangeable into Common Stock) actually delivered upon the exercise
of such rights, options or warrants.
SECTION 11.4. Special Distribution. If and whenever the Company shall issue
or distribute to all or substantially all the holders of Common Stock:
(i) shares of the Company of any class, other than Common Stock;
(ii) rights, options or warrants; or
(iii) any other assets (excluding cash dividends and equivalent
dividends in shares paid in lieu of cash dividends in the ordinary course);
and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Share Reorganization
or a Rights Offering (any such event being herein called a "Special
Distribution"), then in each such case the applicable Fixed Price shall be
adjusted, effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of
Common Stock are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution, by
multiplying the applicable Fixed Price in effect on such record date by a
fraction of which:
(i) the numerator shall be the difference between:
(A) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on
such record date and the Market Price of the Common Stock on such date; and
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT - Page 46

<PAGE>
(B) the fair market value, as determined by the Directors (whose
determination shall be conclusive), to the holders of Common Stock of the
shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other
assets issued or distributed in the Special Distribution (net of any
consideration paid therefor by the holders of Common Stock), and
(ii) the denominator shall be the product of the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on such record date and the Market Price of the
Common Stock on such date.
SECTION 11.5. Capital Reorganization. If and whenever there shall occur:
(i) a reclassification or redesignation of the shares of Common Stock
or any change of the shares of Common Stock into other shares, other than
in a Share Reorganization;
(ii) a consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with, or
into another body corporate; or
(iii) the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company to another body corporate;
(any such event being herein called a "Capital Reorganization"), then in each
such case the holder who exercises the right to convert Convertible Notes or
exercise the Warrants after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization
shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon the exercise of such right,
in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder was
theretofore entitled upon the exercise of the conversion privilege, the
aggregate number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of
the body corporate resulting from such Capital Reorganization that such holder
would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization
if, on the effective date thereof, such holders had been the holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder was theretofore entitled
upon conversion; provided, however, that no such Capital Reorganization shall be
consummated in effect unless all necessary steps shall have been taken so that
such holders shall thereafter be entitled to receive such number of shares or
other securities of the Company or of the body corporate resulting from such
Capital Reorganization, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with
provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained above.
SECTION 11.6. Adjustment Rules. The following rules and procedures shall be
applicable to adjustments made in this Article X:
(a) no adjustment in the applicable Fixed Price shall be required
unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the
applicable Fixed Price then in
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT - Page 47
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
effect, provided, however, that any adjustments which, but for the
provisions of this clause would otherwise have been required to be made,
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment;
(b) no adjustment in the applicable Fixed Price shall be made pursuant
to this Article XI in respect of the issue from time to time of Common
Stock to holders of Common Stock who exercise an option to receive
substantially equivalent dividends in Common Stock in lieu of receiving
cash dividends in the ordinary course; and
(c) if a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to any
adjustment of the applicable Fixed Price, such dispute shall be
conclusively determined by the auditors of the Company or, if they are
unable or unwilling to act, by a firm of independent chartered accountants
selected by the Directors and any such determination shall be binding upon
the Company and Purchasers.
SECTION 11.7. Certificate as to Adjustment. The Company shall from time to
time promptly after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment in
the applicable Fixed Price deliver to the Purchasers a certificate specifying
the nature of the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment
necessitated thereby, the applicable Fixed Price after giving effect to such
adjustment and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the method of calculation
and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
SECTION 11.8. Notice to Noteholders. If the Company shall fix a record date
for:
(a) any Share Reorganization (other than the subdivision of
outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares or the
consolidation of outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares),
(b) any Rights Offering.,
(c) any Special Distribution,
(d) any Capital Reorganization (other than a reclassification or
redesignation of the Common Stock into other shares), or
(e) any cash dividend,
the Company shall, not less than 10 days prior to such record date or, if no
record date is fixed, prior to the effective date of such event, give to the
Purchasers notice of the particulars of the proposed event or the extent that
such particulars have been determined at the time of giving the notice.

further, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and
irrespective of whether any Convertible Note has been declared immediately
due and payable hereunder, any Purchaser of Convertible Notes may proceed
to protect and enforce the rights of such Purchaser by an action at law,
suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific
performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Convertible Note,
or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or

SECTION 12.2. Powers and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Purchasers is intended to be exclusive of any
other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall
not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy. Every power and remedy given by the Convertible Notes or by law
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient,
by the Purchasers.
ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 13.1. Notices. All notices, demands and other communications to any
party hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier or similar writing)
and shall be given to such party at its address set forth on the signature pages
hereof, or such other address as such party may hereafter specify for the
purpose to the other parties. Each such notice, demand or other communication
shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy is transmitted
to the telecopy number specified on the signature page hereof, (ii) if given by
mail, four days after such communication is deposited in the mail with first
class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iii) if given by any other
means, when delivered at the address specified in or pursuant to this Section.
SECTION 13.2. No Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right,
power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
(b) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or waived
if, but only if, such amendment, supplement or waiver is in writing and is
signed by the Company and the Majority Holders; provided, that without the
consent of each holder of any Convertible Note affected thereby, an amendment or
waiver may not (a) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes
whose holders must consent to an amendment or waiver, (b) reduce the rate or
extend the time for payment of interest on any Convertible Note, (c) reduce the
principal amount of or extend the stated maturity of any Convertible Note or (d)

or waiver as provided in any Financing Document, Convertible Notes which are
owned by the Company or any other obligor on or guarantor of the Convertible
Notes, or by any Person Controlling, Controlled by, or under Common Control with
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT - Page 52

<PAGE>
any of the foregoing, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for
the purpose of any such determination; and provided further that no such
amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the rights of the Purchasers and
their affiliates otherwise than solely in their capacities as holders of
Convertible Notes shall be effective with respect to them without their prior
written consent.
SECTION 13.3. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Purchaser, its affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls
such Purchaser, or any of its affiliates, within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act (a Controlling Person"), and the respective partners,
agents, employees, officers and directors of the Purchasers, their affiliates
and any such Controlling Person (each an Indemnified Party" and collectively,
the "Indemnified Partie ), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation and as incurred,
reasonable costs of investigating, preparing or defending any such claim or
action, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto, provided that
the Company shall not be obligated to advance such costs to any Indemnified
Party other than the Purchasers unless it has received from such Indemnified
Party an undertaking to repay to the Company the costs so advanced if it should
be determined by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such
Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to
such costs) which may be incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with
any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding brought or threatened
that relates to or arises out of, or is in connection with any activities
contemplated by any Financing Document or any other services rendered in
connection herewith; provided that the Company will not be responsible for any
claims, liabilities losses, damages or expenses that are determined by final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to result from such Indemnified
Party's gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
If any action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party with respect to
which indemnity may be sought against the Company under this Agreement, such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company,
at its option, may, assume the defense thereof, including the employment of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and payment of all
reasonable fees and expenses. The failure to so notify the Company shall not
affect any obligations the Company may have to such Indemnified Party under this
Agreement or otherwise unless the Company is materially adversely affected by
such failure. Such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party,
unless: (i) the Company has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or
(ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties)
include such Indemnified Party and the Company, and such Indemnified Party shall
have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
Company, in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Company in
writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company,
the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or
proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party, provided, however, that the
Company
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT - Page 53
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but
substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be responsible
hereunder for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one such firm of
separate counsel, which counsel shall be designated by the Purchasers. The
Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected
without the written consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified
Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of settlement of any
action effected with the consent of the Company. In addition, the Company will
not, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action,
claim, suit or proceeding in respect to which indemnification or contribution
may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party
thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an
express unconditional release of the Purchasers and the other Indemnified
Parties, satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchasers, from all
liability arising out of such action, claim, suit or proceeding.
If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable (otherwise than
pursuant to the express terms of such indemnity) to an Indemnified Party or
insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then in lieu of indemnifying
such Indemnified Party, the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such claims, liabilities,
losses, damages, or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the
Purchasers on the other from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted under applicable
law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the
other, but also the relative fault of the Company and the Purchasers as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 13.3, the aggregate contribution of all Indemnified Parties shall
not exceed the amount of interest and fees actually received by the Purchasers
pursuant to this Agreement. It is hereby further agreed that the relative
benefits to the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
related to information supplied by the Company or by the Purchasers and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation
The indemnification, contribution and expense reimbursement obligations set
forth in this Section 13.3 (i) shall be in addition to any liability the Company
may have to any Indemnified Party at common law or otherwise, (ii) shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and the
payment in full of the Convertible Notes and (iii) shall
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Purchasers or any other Indemnified Party.

$25,000 (the "Reimbursement Fee"), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of
the Purchasers, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with
any waiver or consent hereunder or under any other Financing Document or any
amendment hereof or thereof and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of
the Purchasers and each holder of Securities, including fees and disbursements
of counsel, in connection with any collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other
enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. In addition, the Company agrees to

payments to such Purchaser) of all amounts due thereon by wire transfer by 1:00
P.M. (New York City time) on the date of payment to the Transfer Agent for
disbursement to the Purchasers as required by the Transfer Agent Agreement.
SECTION 13.6. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
the Company and upon the Purchasers and their respective successors and assigns;
provided that the Company shall not assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations under this Agreement to any other Person without the prior written
consent of the Majority Holders. All provisions hereunder purporting to give
rights to Purchasers and their affiliates or to holders of Securities are for
the express benefit of such Persons and their successors and assigns.
SECTION 13.7. Brokers. The Company represents and warrants that it has not
employed any broker, finder, financial advisor or investment banker other than

13.7) who would be entitled to any brokerage, finder's or other fee or
commission payable by the Company or the Purchasers in connection with the sale
of the Securities. Each Purchaser hereby warrants that it has not employed any
broker, finder, financial advisor or investment banker who would be entitled to
any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission payable by the Company in
connection with the sale of the Securities.

without prior notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Majority

forum. The Company hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury

TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Infinity Investors
Limited or its assigns (each a "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set
forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time or from time to time after
the date hereof and prior to October 14, 2002 (the "Exercise Period"), at the

fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) of

Purchase Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein.
This Warrant (this "Warrant"; such term to include any warrants issued in
substitution therefor) is one of a series of Common Stock Purchase Warrants
issued in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement") dated of even date herewith between, among others, the
initial Holder hereof and the Company.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 1 - Page 1 Warrant 1
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
The purchase price per share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant (the "Purchase Price") shall initially be $6.46; provided, however, that
the Purchase Price shall be adjusted from time to time as provided herein.
As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires,
have the following respective meanings:
(a) The term "Company" shall include Take-Two Interactive Software,
Inc. and any entity that shall succeed or assume the obligations of such
corporation hereunder.
(b) The term "Common Stock" includes (a) the Company's common stock,
$.01 par value per share, (b) any other capital stock of any class or
classes (however designated) of the Company, authorized on or after such
date, the holders of which shall have the right, without limitation as to
amount, either to all or to a share of the balance of current dividends and
liquidating dividends after the payment of dividends and distributions on
any shares entitled to preference, and the holders of which shall
ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies, be entitled to vote for the
election of a majority of directors of the Company (even though the right
so to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency) and
(c) any other securities into which or for which any of the securities
described in (a) or (b) may be converted or exchanged pursuant to a plan of
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.
(c) The term "Other Securities" refers to any stock (other than Common
Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other person (corporate
or otherwise) that the holder of this Warrant at any time shall be entitled
to receive, or shall have received, on the exercise of this Warrant, in
lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or that at any time shall be
issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or in replacement of
Common Stock or Other Securities pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise.
(d) The term "Market Value" shall mean the average closing price of
the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading days preceding (but not
excluding) the Exercise Date as reported on any national securities
exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is then
traded (as reported by Bloomberg L.P.).
1. Exercise of Warrant.
1.1. Method of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), at any time and
from time to time during the Exercise Period by the Holder hereof by
delivery of a notice of exercise (a "Notice of Exercise") substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A via facsimile to the
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 1 - Page 2 Warrant 1
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
Company. Promptly thereafter the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the
Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment of the Purchase
Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is being exercised (the "Exercise Price"). Payment of the Exercise
Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder, (i) by check or bank
draft payable to the order of the Company, (ii) by wire transfer to the
account of the Company, (iii) in shares of Common Stock having a Market
Value on the Exercise Date (as hereinafter defined) equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price or (iv) by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the
Company for cashless exercise (a "Cashless Exercise"), with such surrender
being deemed a waiver of the Holder's obligation to pay all or any portion
of the Exercise Price. In the event the Holder elects a Cashless Exercise
(which such election shall be irrevocable) the Holder shall exchange this
Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying
the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is being
exercised by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference
between the then current Market Value of the issued and outstanding Common
Stock and the Purchase Price, and the denominator of which shall be the
then current Market Value of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. If
the amount of the payment received by the Company is less than the Exercise
Price, the Holder will be notified of the deficiency and shall make payment
in that amount within five (5) business days. In the event the payment
exceeds the Exercise Price, the Company will promptly refund the excess to
the Holder. Upon exercise, the Holder shall be entitled to receive,
promptly after payment in full, one or more certificates, issued in the
Holder's name or in such name or names as the Holder may direct, subject to
the limitations on transfer contained herein, for the number of shares of
Common Stock so purchased. The shares so purchased shall be deemed to be
issued as of the close of business on the date on which the Company shall
have received from the Holder payment in full of the Exercise Price (the
"Exercise Date").
1.2. Regulation D Restrictions. The Holder hereof represents and
warrants to the Company that it has acquired this Warrant and anticipates
acquiring the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
solely for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to
or for resale of such securities unless such resale has been registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption is
available therefor. At the time this Warrant is exercised, the Company may
require the Holder to state in the Notice of Exercise such representations
concerning the Holder as are necessary or appropriate to assure compliance
by the Holder with the Securities Act.
1.3. Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the
exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder
any rights to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after such
exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder
shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the
continuing obligation of the Company to afford to the Holder any such
rights.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 1 - Page 3 Warrant 1
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
1.4. Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding the rights of the Holder
to exercise all or a portion of this Warrant as described herein, such
exercise rights shall be limited solely in the manner set forth in the
Purchase Agreement as if such provisions were specifically set forth
herein.
2. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. As soon as practicable
after the exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within the time periods
specified in the Purchase Agreement, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue, stamp or transfer taxes upon issuance to
the Holder) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder
thereof, or, to the extent permissible hereunder, to such other person as the
Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which the
Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share
to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then applicable Purchase Price, together with any other stock
or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which the
Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
3. Adjustment for Extraordinary Events. The Purchase Price to be paid by the
Holder upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted in case at any time or
from time to time the Company should (i) subdivide the outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (ii) consolidate the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iii) issue shares of
Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock as a dividend to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common
Stock or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock, any shares of
capital stock of the Company, in each event pursuant to Article X of the
Purchase Agreement as if such provisions were specifically set forth herein.
4. Exercise Price Reset.
4.1 Adjustment to Purchase Price if Additional Grant Shares are
Issued. If the Company is obligated to issue any Additional Grant Shares
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted so that this Warrant will have a "value" equal to the "value" of
this Warrant as of its original date of issue. For the purposes of this
Section 4, the term "value" shall mean a good faith valuation of the
theoretical trade price of this Warrant, prepared by HW Partners, L.P. (or
such other entity as designated by the Holder) using a Black-Scholes or
similar model and using as the "market price" for such model the market
Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) used to determine the number
of Additional Grant Shares.
4.2 Notice of Warrant Value. Within seven (7) business days after the
Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement), HW
Partners, L.P. will deliver to the Company a certificate describing in
reasonable detail the calculation of the value of this Warrant. Within
seven (7) business days after the date on which the number of Additional
Grant Shares is calculated (if any), HW Partners, L.P. will deliver to the
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 1 - Page 4 Warrant 1
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
Company a certificate indicating in reasonable detail, (1) its calculation
of the value of this Warrant as of such date and (2) its determination of
the new Purchase Price for this Warrant as of such date. If there is no
dispute as to the adjustment to the Purchase Price, the Company shall cause
its auditors to deliver a notice of adjustment pursuant to Section 9 of
this Warrant as promptly as practicable (but within ten (10) business
days.).
4.3 Dispute as to Warrant Value. In the event that the Company
disputes any calculation of Warrant value under this Section 4, the matter
shall be referred to an Independent Financial Expert for final
determination; provided that the Company notifies HW Partners, L.P. of such
dispute within five (5) business days of written receipt of any certificate
of Warrant value. For purposes of this Section 4.3, an Independent
Financial Expert shall mean a nationally recognized investment banking firm
(i) which does not (and whose directors, officers and employees and
affiliates do not), have a direct or indirect financial interest in either
the Company or any holder of this Warrant (other than a beneficial
ownership, directly or indirectly, of less than one percent of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company), (ii) which has not
been, and, at the time it is called upon to give independent financial
services to the Company, is not (and none of whose directors, officers,
employees or affiliates is) a promoter, director or officer of the Company
or any of its affiliates or an underwriter with respect to any of the
Company's securities, (iii) which does not provide any advice or opinions
to the Company or any Warrant holder except as an Independent Financial
Expert and (iv) which is mutually agreeable to the Company and the holders
of a majority of the Warrants. If the Company and the holders of a majority
of the Warrants do not promptly agree as to the Independent Financial
Expert, each shall appoint one investment banking firm and the two firms so
appointed shall select the Independent financial Expert to be employed by
the Company. An Independent Financial Expert shall be compensated by the
Company for opinions or services it provides as an Independent Financial
Expert. In making its determination of the value of this Warrant, the
Independent Financial Expert shall use one or more valuation methods that
the Independent Financial Expert, in its professional judgment, determines
to be most appropriate. After the Independent Financial Expert has made its
determination, the Company shall cause the Independent Financial Expert to
prepare a report (a "Value Report") stating the methods of valuation
considered or used and the value of the Warrant or other security it values
and containing a statement as to the nature and scope of the examination
made. Such Value Report shall accompany any notice of adjustment sent by
the Company to the Holder pursuant to this Warrant; provided, that the
adjustment to the Exercise Price that is the subject of such notice
requires the services of any Independent Financial Expert.
5. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 1 - Page 5 Warrant 1
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock
receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on
such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of this Warrant and (c) will not
transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other
person (corporate or otherwise), or consolidate with or merge into any other
person or permit any such person to consolidate with or merge into the Company
(if the Company is not the surviving person), unless such other person shall
expressly assume in writing and will be bound by all the terms of this Warrant.
6. Accountants' Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any
adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
or the Purchase Price issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at
its expense will cause independent certified public accountants of national
standing selected by the Company (which may be the Company's auditors) to
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by
the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares
of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding
and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be
received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such
issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The
Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of
this Warrant, and will, on the written request at any time of the Holder of this
Warrant, furnish to the Holder a like certificate setting forth the Purchase
Price at the time in effect and showing how it was calculated.
7. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class
of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are
entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right,
or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all
or substantially all the assets of the Company to, or consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into, any other person, or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company,

(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
then, and in each such event, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record
is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and
stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, and
(ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any, as of which the holders of
record of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for securities or other property
deliverable on such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization,
transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such
notice shall be mailed at least 20 days prior to the date specified in such
notice on which any action is to be taken.
8. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company
will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery
on the exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.
9. Exchange of Warrant. On surrender for exchange of this Warrant, properly
endorsed, to the Company, the Company at its expense will issue and deliver to
or on the order of the holder thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name
of such Holder or as such Holder (on payment by such holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces
thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of the
Warrant so surrendered.
10. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on
delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
11. Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the Holder
of this Warrant in the event of any default by the Company in the performance of
or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be
adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the
specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction
against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
12. Negotiability, etc. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to
all of which each Holder or owner hereof by the taking hereof consents and
agrees:
(a) title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the
Holder hereof executing the form of assignment at the end hereof) and
delivery in the same manner as in the case of a negotiable instrument
transferable by endorsement and delivery;

to transfer absolute title hereto by endorsement and delivery hereof to a
bona fide purchaser hereof for value; each prior taker or owner waives and

This Warrant (this "Warrant"; such term to include any warrants issued in
substitution therefor) is one of a series of Common Stock Purchase Warrants
issued in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement") dated of even date herewith between, among others, the
initial Holder hereof and the Company.

(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
The purchase price per share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant (the "Purchase Price") shall initially be $6.46; provided, however, that
the Purchase Price shall be adjusted from time to time as provided herein.
As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires,
have the following respective meanings:
(a) The term "Company" shall include Take-Two Interactive Software,
Inc. and any entity that shall succeed or assume the obligations of such
corporation hereunder.
(b) The term "Common Stock" includes (a) the Company's common stock,
$.01 par value per share, (b) any other capital stock of any class or
classes (however designated) of the Company, authorized on or after such
date, the holders of which shall have the right, without limitation as to
amount, either to all or to a share of the balance of current dividends and
liquidating dividends after the payment of dividends and distributions on
any shares entitled to preference, and the holders of which shall
ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies, be entitled to vote for the
election of a majority of directors of the Company (even though the right
so to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency) and
(c) any other securities into which or for which any of the securities
described in (a) or (b) may be converted or exchanged pursuant to a plan of
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.
(c) The term "Other Securities" refers to any stock (other than Common
Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other person (corporate
or otherwise) that the holder of this Warrant at any time shall be entitled
to receive, or shall have received, on the exercise of this Warrant, in
lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or that at any time shall be
issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or in replacement of
Common Stock or Other Securities pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise.
(d) The term "Market Value" shall mean the average closing price of
the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading days preceding (but not
excluding) the Exercise Date as reported on any national securities
exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is then
traded (as reported by Bloomberg L.P.).
1. Exercise of Warrant.
1.1. Method of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), at any time and
from time to time during the Exercise Period by the Holder hereof by
delivery of a notice of exercise (a "Notice of Exercise") substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A via facsimile to the Company.
Promptly thereafter the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 2- Page 2 Warrant 2
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment of the Purchase
Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is being exercised (the "Exercise Price"). Payment of the Exercise
Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder, (i) by check or bank
draft payable to the order of the Company, (ii) by wire transfer to the
account of the Company, (iii) in shares of Common Stock having a Market
Value on the Exercise Date (as hereinafter defined) equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price or (iv) by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the
Company for cashless exercise (a "Cashless Exercise"), with such surrender
being deemed a waiver of the Holder's obligation to pay all or any portion
of the Exercise Price. In the event the Holder elects a Cashless Exercise
(which such election shall be irrevocable) the Holder shall exchange this
Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying
the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is being
exercised by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference
between the then current Market Value of the issued and outstanding Common
Stock and the Purchase Price, and the denominator of which shall be the
then current Market Value of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. If
the amount of the payment received by the Company is less than the Exercise
Price, the Holder will be notified of the deficiency and shall make payment
in that amount within five (5) business days. In the event the payment
exceeds the Exercise Price, the Company will promptly refund the excess to
the Holder. Upon exercise, the Holder shall be entitled to receive,
promptly after payment in full, one or more certificates, issued in the
Holder's name or in such name or names as the Holder may direct, subject to
the limitations on transfer contained herein, for the number of shares of
Common Stock so purchased. The shares so purchased shall be deemed to be
issued as of the close of business on the date on which the Company shall
have received from the Holder payment in full of the Exercise Price (the
"Exercise Date").
1.2. Regulation D Restrictions. The Holder hereof represents and
warrants to the Company that it has acquired this Warrant and anticipates
acquiring the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
solely for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to
or for resale of such securities unless such resale has been registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption is
available therefor. At the time this Warrant is exercised, the Company may
require the Holder to state in the Notice of Exercise such representations
concerning the Holder as are necessary or appropriate to assure compliance
by the Holder with the Securities Act.
1.3. Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the
exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder
any rights to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after such
exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder
shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the
continuing obligation of the Company to afford to the Holder any such
rights.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 2- Page 3 Warrant 2
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
1.4. Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding the rights of the Holder
to exercise all or a portion of this Warrant as described herein, such
exercise rights shall be limited solely in the manner set forth in the
Purchase Agreement as if such provisions were specifically set forth
herein.
2. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. As soon as practicable
after the exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within the time periods
specified in the Purchase Agreement, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue, stamp or transfer taxes upon issuance to
the Holder) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder
thereof, or, to the extent permissible hereunder, to such other person as the
Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which the
Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share
to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then applicable Purchase Price, together with any other stock
or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which the
Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
3. Adjustment for Extraordinary Events. The Purchase Price to be paid by the
Holder upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted in case at any time or
from time to time the Company should (i) subdivide the outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (ii) consolidate the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iii) issue shares of
Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock as a dividend to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common
Stock or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock, any shares of
capital stock of the Company, in each event pursuant to Article X of the
Purchase Agreement as if such provisions were specifically set forth herein.
4. Exercise Price Reset.
4.1 Adjustment to Purchase Price if Additional Grant Shares are
Issued. If the Company is obligated to issue any Additional Grant Shares
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted so that this Warrant will have a "value" equal to the "value" of
this Warrant as of its original date of issue. For the purposes of this
Section 4, the term "value" shall mean a good faith valuation of the
theoretical trade price of this Warrant, prepared by HW Partners, L.P. (or
such other entity as designated by the Holder) using a Black-Scholes or
similar model and using as the "market price" for such model the market
Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) used to determine the number
of Additional Grant Shares.
4.2 Notice of Warrant Value. Within seven (7) business days after the
Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement), HW
Partners, L.P. will deliver to the Company a certificate describing in
reasonable detail the calculation of the value of this Warrant. Within
seven (7) business days after the date on which the number of Additional
Grant Shares is calculated (if any), HW Partners, L.P. will deliver to the
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 2- Page 4 Warrant 2
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
Company a certificate indicating in reasonable detail, (1) its calculation
of the value of this Warrant as of such date and (2) its determination of
the new Purchase Price for this Warrant as of such date. If there is no
dispute as to the adjustment to the Purchase Price, the Company shall cause
its auditors to deliver a notice of adjustment pursuant to Section 9 of
this Warrant as promptly as practicable (but within ten (10) business
days.).
4.3 Dispute as to Warrant Value. In the event that the Company
disputes any calculation of Warrant value under this Section 4, the matter
shall be referred to an Independent Financial Expert for final
determination; provided that the Company notifies HW Partners, L.P. of such
dispute within five (5) business days of written receipt of any certificate
of Warrant value. For purposes of this Section 4.3, an Independent
Financial Expert shall mean a nationally recognized investment banking firm
(i) which does not (and whose directors, officers and employees and
affiliates do not), have a direct or indirect financial interest in either
the Company or any holder of this Warrant (other than a beneficial
ownership, directly or indirectly, of less than one percent of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company), (ii) which has not
been, and, at the time it is called upon to give independent financial
services to the Company, is not (and none of whose directors, officers,
employees or affiliates is) a promoter, director or officer of the Company
or any of its affiliates or an underwriter with respect to any of the
Company's securities, (iii) which does not provide any advice or opinions
to the Company or any Warrant holder except as an Independent Financial
Expert and (iv) which is mutually agreeable to the Company and the holders
of a majority of the Warrants. If the Company and the holders of a majority
of the Warrants do not promptly agree as to the Independent Financial
Expert, each shall appoint one investment banking firm and the two firms so
appointed shall select the Independent financial Expert to be employed by
the Company. An Independent Financial Expert shall be compensated by the
Company for opinions or services it provides as an Independent Financial
Expert. In making its determination of the value of this Warrant, the
Independent Financial Expert shall use one or more valuation methods that
the Independent Financial Expert, in its professional judgment, determines
to be most appropriate. After the Independent Financial Expert has made its
determination, the Company shall cause the Independent Financial Expert to
prepare a report (a "Value Report") stating the methods of valuation
considered or used and the value of the Warrant or other security it values
and containing a statement as to the nature and scope of the examination
made. Such Value Report shall accompany any notice of adjustment sent by
the Company to the Holder pursuant to this Warrant; provided, that the
adjustment to the Exercise Price that is the subject of such notice
requires the services of any Independent Financial Expert.
5. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 2- Page 5 Warrant 2
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock
receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on
such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of this Warrant and (c) will not
transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other
person (corporate or otherwise), or consolidate with or merge into any other
person or permit any such person to consolidate with or merge into the Company
(if the Company is not the surviving person), unless such other person shall
expressly assume in writing and will be bound by all the terms of this Warrant.
6. Accountants' Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any
adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
or the Purchase Price issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at
its expense will cause independent certified public accountants of national
standing selected by the Company (which may be the Company's auditors) to
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by
the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares
of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding
and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be
received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such
issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The
Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of
this Warrant, and will, on the written request at any time of the Holder of this
Warrant, furnish to the Holder a like certificate setting forth the Purchase
Price at the time in effect and showing how it was calculated.
7. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class
of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are
entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right,
or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all
or substantially all the assets of the Company to, or consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into, any other person, or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company,

recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or

shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for securities or other property
deliverable on such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization,
transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such
notice shall be mailed at least 20 days prior to the date specified in such
notice on which any action is to be taken.
8. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company
will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery
on the exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.
9. Exchange of Warrant. On surrender for exchange of this Warrant, properly
endorsed, to the Company, the Company at its expense will issue and deliver to
or on the order of the holder thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name
of such Holder or as such Holder (on payment by such holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces
thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of the
Warrant so surrendered.
10. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on
delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
11. Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the Holder
of this Warrant in the event of any default by the Company in the performance of
or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be
adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the
specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction
against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
12. Negotiability, etc. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to
all of which each Holder or owner hereof by the taking hereof consents and

delivery in the same manner as in the case of a negotiable instrument
transferable by endorsement and delivery;

from time to time during the Exercise Period by the Holder hereof by
delivery of a notice of exercise (a "Notice of Exercise") substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A via facsimile to the Company.
Promptly thereafter the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 3- Page 2 Warrant 3
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment of the Purchase
Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is being exercised (the "Exercise Price"). Payment of the Exercise
Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder, (i) by check or bank
draft payable to the order of the Company, (ii) by wire transfer to the

Value on the Exercise Date (as hereinafter defined) equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price or (iv) by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the

(which such election shall be irrevocable) the Holder shall exchange this
Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying
the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is being
exercised by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference
between the then current Market Value of the issued and outstanding Common

then current Market Value of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. If
the amount of the payment received by the Company is less than the Exercise
Price, the Holder will be notified of the deficiency and shall make payment
in that amount within five (5) business days. In the event the payment
exceeds the Exercise Price, the Company will promptly refund the excess to
the Holder. Upon exercise, the Holder shall be entitled to receive,
promptly after payment in full, one or more certificates, issued in the
Holder's name or in such name or names as the Holder may direct, subject to
the limitations on transfer contained herein, for the number of shares of
Common Stock so purchased. The shares so purchased shall be deemed to be
issued as of the close of business on the date on which the Company shall
have received from the Holder payment in full of the Exercise Price (the
"Exercise Date").
1.2. Regulation D Restrictions. The Holder hereof represents and
warrants to the Company that it has acquired this Warrant and anticipates
acquiring the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
solely for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to
or for resale of such securities unless such resale has been registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption is
available therefor. At the time this Warrant is exercised, the Company may
require the Holder to state in the Notice of Exercise such representations
concerning the Holder as are necessary or appropriate to assure compliance
by the Holder with the Securities Act.
1.3. Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the
exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder
any rights to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after such
exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder
shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the
continuing obligation of the Company to afford to the Holder any such
rights.

1.4. Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding the rights of the Holder
to exercise all or a portion of this Warrant as described herein, such
exercise rights shall be limited solely in the manner set forth in the
Purchase Agreement as if such provisions were specifically set forth
herein.
2. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. As soon as practicable
after the exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within the time periods
specified in the Purchase Agreement, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue, stamp or transfer taxes upon issuance to
the Holder) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder
thereof, or, to the extent permissible hereunder, to such other person as the
Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which the
Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share
to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then applicable Purchase Price, together with any other stock
or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which the
Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
3. Adjustment for Extraordinary Events. The Purchase Price to be paid by the
Holder upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted in case at any time or
from time to time the Company should (i) subdivide the outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (ii) consolidate the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iii) issue shares of
Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock as a dividend to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common
Stock or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock, any shares of
capital stock of the Company, in each event pursuant to Article X of the
Purchase Agreement as if such provisions were specifically set forth herein.
4. Exercise Price Reset.
4.1 Adjustment to Purchase Price if Additional Grant Shares are
Issued. If the Company is obligated to issue any Additional Grant Shares
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted so that this Warrant will have a "value" equal to the "value" of
this Warrant as of its original date of issue. For the purposes of this
Section 4, the term "value" shall mean a good faith valuation of the
theoretical trade price of this Warrant, prepared by HW Partners, L.P. (or
such other entity as designated by the Holder) using a Black-Scholes or
similar model and using as the "market price" for such model the market
Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) used to determine the number
of Additional Grant Shares.
4.2 Notice of Warrant Value. Within seven (7) business days after the
Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement), HW
Partners, L.P. will deliver to the Company a certificate describing in
reasonable detail the calculation of the value of this Warrant. Within
seven (7) business days after the date on which the number of Additional
Grant Shares is calculated (if any), HW Partners, L.P. will deliver to the
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 3- Page 4 Warrant 3
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
Company a certificate indicating in reasonable detail, (1) its calculation
of the value of this Warrant as of such date and (2) its determination of
the new Purchase Price for this Warrant as of such date. If there is no
dispute as to the adjustment to the Purchase Price, the Company shall cause
its auditors to deliver a notice of adjustment pursuant to Section 9 of
this Warrant as promptly as practicable (but within ten (10) business
days.).
4.3 Dispute as to Warrant Value. In the event that the Company
disputes any calculation of Warrant value under this Section 4, the matter
shall be referred to an Independent Financial Expert for final
determination; provided that the Company notifies HW Partners, L.P. of such
dispute within five (5) business days of written receipt of any certificate
of Warrant value. For purposes of this Section 4.3, an Independent
Financial Expert shall mean a nationally recognized investment banking firm
(i) which does not (and whose directors, officers and employees and
affiliates do not), have a direct or indirect financial interest in either
the Company or any holder of this Warrant (other than a beneficial
ownership, directly or indirectly, of less than one percent of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company), (ii) which has not
been, and, at the time it is called upon to give independent financial
services to the Company, is not (and none of whose directors, officers,
employees or affiliates is) a promoter, director or officer of the Company
or any of its affiliates or an underwriter with respect to any of the
Company's securities, (iii) which does not provide any advice or opinions
to the Company or any Warrant holder except as an Independent Financial
Expert and (iv) which is mutually agreeable to the Company and the holders
of a majority of the Warrants. If the Company and the holders of a majority
of the Warrants do not promptly agree as to the Independent Financial
Expert, each shall appoint one investment banking firm and the two firms so
appointed shall select the Independent financial Expert to be employed by
the Company. An Independent Financial Expert shall be compensated by the
Company for opinions or services it provides as an Independent Financial
Expert. In making its determination of the value of this Warrant, the
Independent Financial Expert shall use one or more valuation methods that
the Independent Financial Expert, in its professional judgment, determines
to be most appropriate. After the Independent Financial Expert has made its
determination, the Company shall cause the Independent Financial Expert to
prepare a report (a "Value Report") stating the methods of valuation
considered or used and the value of the Warrant or other security it values
and containing a statement as to the nature and scope of the examination
made. Such Value Report shall accompany any notice of adjustment sent by
the Company to the Holder pursuant to this Warrant; provided, that the
adjustment to the Exercise Price that is the subject of such notice
requires the services of any Independent Financial Expert.
5. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. 3- Page 5 Warrant 3
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock
receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on
such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of this Warrant and (c) will not
transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other
person (corporate or otherwise), or consolidate with or merge into any other
person or permit any such person to consolidate with or merge into the Company
(if the Company is not the surviving person), unless such other person shall
expressly assume in writing and will be bound by all the terms of this Warrant.
6. Accountants' Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any
adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
or the Purchase Price issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at
its expense will cause independent certified public accountants of national
standing selected by the Company (which may be the Company's auditors) to
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by
the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares
of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding
and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be
received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such
issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The
Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of
this Warrant, and will, on the written request at any time of the Holder of this
Warrant, furnish to the Holder a like certificate setting forth the Purchase
Price at the time in effect and showing how it was calculated.
7. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class
of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are
entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right,
or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all
or substantially all the assets of the Company to, or consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into, any other person, or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company,

shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for securities or other property
deliverable on such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization,
transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such
notice shall be mailed at least 20 days prior to the date specified in such
notice on which any action is to be taken.
8. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company
will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery
on the exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.
9. Exchange of Warrant. On surrender for exchange of this Warrant, properly
endorsed, to the Company, the Company at its expense will issue and deliver to
or on the order of the holder thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name
of such Holder or as such Holder (on payment by such holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces
thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of the
Warrant so surrendered.
10. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on
delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
11. Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the Holder
of this Warrant in the event of any default by the Company in the performance of
or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be
adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the
specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction
against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
12. Negotiability, etc. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to
all of which each Holder or owner hereof by the taking hereof consents and

delivery in the same manner as in the case of a negotiable instrument
transferable by endorsement and delivery;

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of October 14,
1997, among TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and the other undersigned parties hereto, (collectively, the
"Funds").
1. Introduction. The Company and the Funds have today executed that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which
the Company has agreed, among other things, to issue an aggregate of $4,200,000
(U.S.) principal amount of 10% Convertible Notes of the Company (the "Notes") to
the Funds or their successors, assigns or transferees (collectively, the
"Holders"). The Notes are convertible into an indeterminable number of shares
(the "Note Conversion Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"), pursuant to the terms of the Notes. In addition,
pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby, the Company has issued to the Funds (i) an aggregate of
50,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Grant Shares") and (ii) Common Stock
Purchase Warrants exercisable for an aggregate 250,000 shares of Common Stock
(the "Warrant Shares"). The Company has agreed to issue an indeterminable number
of additional shares of Common Stock (the "Additional Grant Shares") on or
before July 7, 1998, upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Note
Purchase Agreement. The number of Note Conversion Shares, Grant Shares, Warrant
Shares and Additional Grant Shares (collectively, the "Securities") is subject
to adjustment upon the occurrence of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar
events occurring after the date hereof. The Company represents and warrants that
the Company's Common Stock is currently eligible for trading on the Nasdaq Stock
Market's SmallCap Market ("SmallCap Market") under the symbol "TTWO". Certain
capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 3 hereof;
references to sections shall be to sections of this Agreement.
2. Registration under Securities Act, etc.
2.1 Registration on Request.
(a) Registration of Registrable Securities. As soon as is practicable after
the Closing Date (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), but in no event
later than April 14, 1998, demand for which is hereby given and acknowledged,
the Company shall prepare and file a registration statement to effect the
registration under the Securities Act of all, but not less than all, of the
Registrable Securities to the extent requisite to permit the public offer and
sale of such Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its best efforts to
cause the registration statement which is the subject of this Section 2.1(a)
(the "Registration Statement") to be declared effective by the Commission upon
the earlier to occur of (i) June 15, 1998 or (ii) five (5) business days after
receipt of a "no review" letter from the Commission (the "Required Effectiveness
Date"). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit the number of
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT - Page 1
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
Registrable Securities to be registered by the Company as required under the
Note Purchase Agreement. As a result, should the Registration Statement not
relate to the maximum number of Registrable Securities acquired by (or
potentially acquirable by) the holders thereof upon conversion of the Note,
exercise of the Warrant or in connection with the issuance of Grant Shares or
Additional Grant Shares, the Company shall be required to file a separate
registration statement (utilizing Rule 462 promulgated under the Exchange Act,
where applicable) relating to such Registrable Securities which then remain
unregistered. The provisions of this Agreement shall relate to such separate
registration statement as if it were an amendment to the Registration Statement.
(b) Registration Statement Form. Registrations under this Section 2.1 shall
be on Form S-3 or, in the event the Company is not then eligible to use such
Form S-3, then such other appropriate registration form of the Commission as
shall permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with
the intended method or methods of disposition specified by the Funds; provided,
however, such intended method of disposition shall not include an underwritten
offering of the Registrable Securities.
(d) Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection
with any registration required by this Section 2.1.
(e) Effective Registration Statement. The registration pursuant to Section
2.1(a) shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) unless a Registration
Statement has become effective within the time period specified herein, provided
that a registration which does not become effective after the Company has filed
the Registration Statement solely by reason of the refusal to proceed of any
holder of Registrable Securities (other than a refusal to proceed based upon the
advice of counsel in the form of a letter signed by such counsel and provided to
the Company relating to a disclosure matter unrelated to such holder) shall be
deemed to have been effected by the Company or (ii) if, after it has become
effective, the Registration Statement becomes subject to any stop order,
injunction or other order or extraordinary requirement of the Commission or
other governmental agency or court for any reason which is not removed after a
period of thirty (30) days.
(f) [Intentionally Left Blank]
(g) [Intentionally Left Blank]
(h) Plan of Distribution. The Company hereby agrees that the Registration
Statement shall include a plan of distribution section reasonably acceptable to
the Funds and substantially in the form annexed hereto; provided, however, such
plan of distribution section shall be modified by the Company so as to not
provide for the disposition of the Registrable Securities on the basis of an
underwritten offering.

2.2 Incidental Registration.
(a) Right to Include Registrable Securities. If (1) any principal or
interest shall be outstanding under the Notes as of April 15, 1998 (whether or
not then due and owing) and (2) the Company proposes to register any of its
securities under the Securities Act (other than by a registration in connection
with an acquisition in a manner which would not permit registration of
Registrable Securities for sale to the public, on Form S-8, or any successor
form thereto, on Form S-4, or any successor form thereto and other than pursuant
to Section 2.1), on an underwritten basis (either best-efforts or
firm-commitment at any time after April 15, 1998 but before the third (3rd)
anniversary of the date hereof), then, the Company will each such time give
thirty (30) days written notice to the Sellers' Representative of its intention
to do so. Upon the written request of the Sellers' Representative made within
twenty (20) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall
specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by any such
Holder, the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, effect the
registration under the Securities Act of up to that number of Registrable
Securities equal to that number of Note Conversion Shares acquirable upon
conversion of up to 75% of the original principal amount of the Notes which the
Company has been so requested to register by the Sellers' Representative, to the
extent requisite to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities so to
be registered, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the registration
statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register,
provided that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to
register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration
statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall
determine for any reason either not to register or to delay registration of such
securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such
determination to each Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination
not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable
Securities in connection with such registration under this Section 2.2 (but not
from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith),
and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted
to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the
delay in registering such other securities. No registration effected under this
Section 2.2 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect the
registration under Section 2.1, nor shall any such registration hereunder be
deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 2.1. The Company will pay all
Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable
Securities requested pursuant to this Section 2.2. The right provided the
Holders of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section shall be
exercisable at their sole discretion and will in no way limit any of the
Company's obligations to pay the Securities according to their terms.
(b) Priority in Incidental Registrations. If the managing underwriter of
the underwritten offering contemplated by this Section 2.2 shall inform the
Company and holders of the Registrable Securities requesting such registration
by letter of its belief that the number of Registrable Securities requested to
be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such
offering, then the Company will include in such registration, to the extent of
the number which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering, (i)
first securities proposed by the Company to be sold for its own account, and
(ii) second Registrable Securities
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT - Page 3
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
and securities of other selling security holders requested to be included in
such registration pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of such
securities so proposed to be sold and so requested to be included; provided,
however, the holders of Registrable Securities shall have priority to all shares
sought to be included by officers and directors of the Company as well as
holders of ten percent (10%) or more of the Company's Common Stock; and provided
further that in the event the managing underwriter determines that the Company
register securities solely for its own account, and not for the account of any
selling shareholders, the Registrable Securities will not be included in such
registration statement.
(c) Holdback Agreements. Subject to such other reasonable requirements as
may be imposed by the underwriter as a condition of inclusion of Registrable
Securities in the registration statement, each Fund agrees by acquisition of
Registrable Securities, if so required by the managing underwriter, not to sell,
make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, effect any
public sale or distribution of or otherwise dispose of, except as part of such
underwritten registration, any equity securities of the Company, during such
reasonable period of time requested by the underwriter; provided however, such
period shall not exceed a period commencing 10 days prior to the commencement of
such underwritten offering and ending 180 days following the completion of such
underwritten offering.
2.3 Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to
effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act
as provided in Section 2.1 and, as applicable, 2.2, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as possible:
(i) prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement to
effect such registration (including such audited financial statements as
may be required by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder); provided nothing contained herein shall require
the Company to undergo an audit except in the ordinary course of business
and as otherwise required to effect the registration of the Registrable
Securities and thereafter use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to be declared effective by the Commission, as soon as
practicable, but in any event no later than the Required Effectiveness Date
in Section 2.4; provided, however, that at least two (2) Business Days
before filing such Registration Statement or any amendments thereto, the
Company will furnish to the counsel selected by the holders of Registrable
Securities which are to be included in such registration, copies of all
such documents proposed to be filed;
(ii) with respect to any Registration Statement pursuant to Section
2.1(a), prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by

Registrable Securities (such period, in each case, the

Securities and other securities covered by such registration statement
under such other securities laws or blue sky laws as any seller thereof
shall reasonably request, to keep such registrations or qualifications in
effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and
take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such
seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
securities owned by such seller, except that the Company shall not for any
such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the

consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

supplements to the registration statement or the prospectus or for

respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable
Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such
purpose;
(viii) notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or
upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus
included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the
reasonable request of any such seller promptly prepare and furnish to such
seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of
such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;
(ix) use its reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest
possible moment;
(x) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules
and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering
the period of at least twelve months, but not more than eighteen months,
beginning with the first full calendar month after the effective date of
such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
(xi) use its reasonable efforts to list all Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange on which
any of the Registrable Securities are then listed.
The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which
any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information
regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may
from time to time reasonably request in writing.
The Company will not file any registration statement or amendment thereto
or any prospectus or any supplement thereto (including such documents
incorporated by reference and proposed to be filed after the initial filing of
the registration statement) to which the Sellers' Representative shall
reasonably object, provided that the Company may file such document in a form
required by law or upon the advice of its counsel.

<PAGE>
The Company represents and warrants to each holder of Registrable
Securities that it has obtained all necessary waivers, consents and
authorizations necessary to execute this Agreement and consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby other than such waivers, consents and/or
authorizations specifically contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement.
Each Fund agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
occurrence of any event of the kind described in subdivision (viii) of this
Section 2.3, such Fund will forthwith discontinue such Fund's disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement relating to such
Registrable Securities until such Fund's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subdivision (viii) of this
Section 2.3 and, if so directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company (at
the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in
such Fund's possession of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities
current at the time of receipt of such notice.
If any such registration statement refers to any Holder of Registrable
Securities by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company,
then such holder shall have the right to require (a) the insertion therein of
language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such holder, to the
effect that the holding by such holder of such securities is not to be construed
as a recommendation by such holder of the investment quality of the Company's
securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such holder
will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (b)
in the event that such reference to such holder by name or otherwise is not
required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the
deletion of the reference to such holder.
2.4 Underwritten Offerings. [Intentionally Omitted]
2.5 Preparation; Reasonable Investigation. In connection with the
preparation and filing of each registration statement under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will give the holders of Registrable
Securities registered under such registration statement, and their respective
counsel and accountants, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of
such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the
Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give each
of them such access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss
the business of the Company with its officers and the independent public
accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary,
in the reasonable opinion of such holders' and such underwriters' respective
counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the
Securities Act.
2.6 Registration Default Fee. If the Registration Statement contemplated in
Section 2.1 is (x) not declared effective by the Required Effectiveness Date or
(y) such effectiveness is not maintained for the Registration Maintenance
Period, then the Company shall pay to the Funds the Default Fee specified in
Section 10.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement.

2.7 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration of any
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, and hereby
does agree to, indemnify and hold harmless the holder of any Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement, its directors and officers,
each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of
such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls such holder or any
such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or any
such director or officer or underwriter or controlling person may become subject
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will
reimburse such holder and each such director, officer, underwriter and
controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
liability, action or proceeding, provided that the Company shall not be liable
in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or
action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus,
final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
holder or underwriter stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof and,
provided further that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who
participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities
or to any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning
of the Securities Act, in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises
out of such Person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus, as
the same may be then supplemented or amended, within the time required by the
Securities Act to the Person asserting the existence of an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the
written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if
such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus or an
amendment or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such holder or
any such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive
the transfer of such securities by such holder.
(b) Indemnification by the Sellers. The Company may require, as a condition
to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed
pursuant to this Agreement, that the Company shall have received an agreement
satisfactory to it from the prospective seller of such Registrable Securities,
to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set
forth in subdivision (a) of this Section 2.7) the Company,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT - Page 8
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other Person,
if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with
respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission
from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus
or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company through an instrument duly executed by such seller specifically stating
that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement,
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or
supplement. Any such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director,
officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities
by such seller.
(c) Notices of Claims. etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim
referred to in the preceding subdivisions of this Section 2.7, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying
party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action,
provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided
herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the
preceding subdivisions of this Section 2.7, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In
case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such
indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such
indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense
thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the
extent that the indemnifying party may wish, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense
thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the
indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
of any such action which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from
all liability, or a covenant not to sue, in respect to such claim or litigation.
No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement of any such action the defense of which has been assumed by an
indemnifying party without the consent of such indemnifying party.
(d) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the
preceding subdivisions of this Section 2.7 (with appropriate modifications)
shall be given by the Company and each seller of Registrable Securities (but
only if and to the extent required pursuant to the terms of 2.7(b)) with respect
to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any
Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority, other than the
Securities Act.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT - Page 9
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
(e) Indemnification Payments. The indemnification required by this Section
2.7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course
of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense,
loss, damage or liability is incurred.
(f) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in the preceding
subdivisions of this Section 2.7 is unavailable to an indemnified party in
respect of any expense, loss, claim, damage or liability referred to therein,
then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability (i) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on
the one hand and the holder or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other
from the distribution of the Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one
hand and of the holder or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such expense,
loss, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and the holder or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other in connection
with the distribution of the Registrable Securities shall be deemed to be in the
same proportion as the total net proceeds received by the Company from the
initial sale of the Registrable Securities by the Company to the purchasers
pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and the Warrants bear to the gain, if
any, realized by all selling holders participating in such offering or the
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the underwriter, as the case
may be. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder or
underwriter, as the case may be, on the other shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company, by the holder or by the underwriter and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission, provided that the foregoing contribution
agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party if
indemnification would be unavailable to such indemnified party by reason of the
provisions contained in the first sentence of subdivision (a) of this Section
2.7, and in no event shall the obligation of any indemnifying party to
contribute under this subdivision (f) exceed the amount that such indemnifying
party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the
indemnification provided for under subdivisions (b) of this Section 2.7 had been
available under the circumstances.
The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subdivision (f) were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders and any underwriters were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in
the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in the preceding
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT - Page 10
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
sentence and subdivision (c) of this Section 2.7, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subdivision (f), no holder of
Registrable Securities or underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which (i) in the case of any such holder, the net
proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities or (ii)
in the case of an underwriter, the total price at which the Registrable
Securities purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the
public exceeds, in any such case, the amount of any damages that such holder or
underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

Pledgee and Secured Parties of a security interest therein or the receipt by
Pledgee or any Secured Party of any payment relating to any Contract pursuant
hereto, nor shall Pledgee or any Secured Party be required or obligated in any

of any performance by any party under any Contract, or to present or file any

Pledgee, Borrower shall deliver to Pledgee all original and other documents
evidencing and relating to the performance of labor or service which created
such Accounts, including, without limitation, all original purchase orders,
invoices and shipping receipts; and, prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Borrower shall deliver photocopies thereof to Pledgee at its request.

directly to Pledgee. Upon the request of Pledgee, Borrower will so notify such
Account Debtors and parties to such Contracts. After the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Pledgee may at any time in its own name
or in the name of others communicate with such Account Debtors and parties to

shall have the right to make test verifications of the Accounts through any
medium that it considers advisable, and Borrower agrees to furnish all such
assistance and information as Pledgee may reasonably require in connection
therewith. Prior to the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, such verification shall be in Borrower's name. Borrower at its expense

available, any and all invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates,
instruments and other documents necessary in the sole judgment of Pledgee to

4. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants
that:
(a) Except for the security interest granted to Pledgee pursuant to this
Security Agreement and Permitted Junior Liens, Borrower is or will be the sole
owner of each item of the Collateral in which it purports to grant a security
interest hereunder, having good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of
any and all liens, security interests or other encumbrances. No amount payable
under or in connection with any of its Accounts or Contracts are evidenced by
instruments which have not been delivered to Pledgee.
(b) No effective security agreement, financing statement, equivalent
security or lien instrument or continuation agreement covering all or any part
of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as
may have been filed by Borrower in favor of Pledgee pursuant to this Security
Agreement or filed in connection with Permitted Junior Liens.
(c) Upon the filing of financing statements in the form of Exhibit A hereto
describing the items or types of Collateral as to which security interests may
be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the UCC in the
jurisdictions listed on Schedule II hereto and the delivery to Pledgee of the
original letters of credit listed on Schedule I hereto, this Security Agreement
shall be effective to create and perfect a valid and continuing lien on and
perfected security interest in such Collateral with respect to which a security
interest may be perfected by filing or the obtaining of possession of the
Collateral pursuant to the UCC in favor of Pledgee, prior to all other security
interests (other than the security interests granted to Pledgee under this
Security Agreement and Permitted Junior Liens), and is enforceable as such as
against creditors of and purchasers from Borrower. All action necessary or
desirable to protect and perfect such security interest in each item of the
Collateral has been duly taken.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 6

<PAGE>
(d) The address of Borrower's principal place of business and the place
where its records concerning the Collateral are kept is set forth on Schedule
III hereto, and Borrower will not change such principal place of business or
remove such records unless it has taken such action as is necessary to cause the
security interest of Pledgee in the Collateral to continue to be perfected.
Borrower will not change its principal place of business or the place where its
records concerning the Collateral is kept without giving 30 days prior written
notice thereof to Pledgee.
(e) The amount represented by Borrower to Pledgee from time to time as
owing by each Account Debtor or by all Account Debtors in respect of the
Accounts will at such time be the correct amount actually and unconditionally
owing by such Account Debtors thereunder.
(f) Each of the letters of credit listed on Schedule I hereto constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuer thereof, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms. Borrower has taken all actions
necessary to provide for the transfer to Pledgee of all its right, title and
interest in, to and under the letters of credit listed on Schedule I hereto and
Pledgee has the right to draw under such letters of credit in accordance with
their respective terms. Such transfers are enforceable against the issuers of

after the date of this Security Agreement and until the Secured Obligations are
fully satisfied:
(a) Further Documentation; Pledge of Instruments. At any time and from time
to time, upon the written request of Pledgee, and at the sole expense of
Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such
further instruments and documents and take such further action as Pledgee may
reasonably deem necessary to obtain the full benefits of this Security Agreement
and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation,
using its best efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or
appropriate for the assignment to Pledgee of any Contract held by Borrower or in
which Borrower has any rights not heretofore assigned, the filing of any
financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the liens and
security interests granted hereby and transferring Collateral to Pledgee's
possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by
possession). Borrower also hereby authorizes Pledgee to file any such financing
or continuation statement without the signature of Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law. A photocopy of this Security Agreement may be filed
as a financing statement. If any amount payable under or in connection with any
of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any instrument, such
instrument shall be immediately pledged to Pledgee hereunder, and shall be duly
endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Pledgee and delivered to Pledgee.
(b) Maintenance of Records. Borrower will keep and maintain at its own cost
and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, including,
without limitation, a record of all payments received and all credits granted
with respect to the Collateral and all other dealings with the Collateral. For

property interest in all of Borrower's books and records pertaining to the
Collateral and, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default, Borrower shall deliver

<PAGE>
and turn over any such books and records to Pledgee or to its representatives at
any time on demand of Pledgee. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
and upon reasonable notice from Pledgee, Borrower shall permit any
representative of Pledgee to inspect such books and records upon reasonable
notice and during normal business hours, and will provide photocopies thereof to
Pledgee.
(c) Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Pledgee
or any Secured Party relating to any Account or Contract for any sum owing
thereunder, or to enforce any provision of any Account or Contract, Borrower
will save, indemnify and keep Pledgee and Secured Parties harmless from and
against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor
thereunder, arising out of a breach by Borrower of any obligation thereunder or
arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing
to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from Borrower, and all such
obligations of Borrower shall be and remain enforceable against and only against
Borrower and shall not be enforceable against Pledgee or any Secured Party.
(d) Compliance with Laws, etc. Borrower will comply, in all material
respects, with all acts, rules, regulations, orders, decrees and directions of
any governmental authority, applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or
to the operation of Borrower's business; provided, however, that Borrower may
contest any act, regulation, order, decree or direction in any reasonable manner
which shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Pledgee, adversely affect
Pledgee's rights hereunder or adversely affect the first priority of its
security interest in the Collateral.
(e) Payment of Obligations. Borrower will pay promptly when due all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral.
(f) Compliance with Terms of Accounts, etc. Borrower will perform and
comply with all obligations in respect of Accounts and Contracts and all other
agreements to which it is a party or by which it is bound.
(g) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Borrower will not create, permit or
suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against and take such other
action as is necessary to remove, any lien, security interest or other
encumbrance on the Collateral except for Permitted Liens, and will defend the
right, title and interest of Pledgee in and to any of Borrower's rights under
the Accounts, Contracts, Documents and General Intangibles and to the Proceeds
thereof against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(h) Limitations on Modifications of Accounts, etc. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any Event of Default, Borrower will not, without
Pledgee's prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of
any of the Accounts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the
full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the
payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.

otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral except, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, for the performance of Contracts and the collection of its
Accounts in the ordinary course of its business.
(j) Further Identification of Collateral. Borrower will if so requested by
Pledgee furnish to Pledgee, as often as Pledgee reasonably requests, statements
and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other
reports in connection with the Collateral as Pledgee may reasonably request, all
in reasonable detail.
(k) Notices. Borrower will advise Pledgee promptly, after it learns of
same, in reasonable detail, (i) of any material lien, security interest,
encumbrance or claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral other than
Permitted Liens, (ii) of any material change in the composition of the
Collateral, and (iii) of the occurrence of any other event which would have a
material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the
security interests created hereunder.
(l) Right of Inspection. Upon reasonable notice to Borrower (unless an
Event Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no notice is
necessary), Pledgee shall at all times have full and free access during normal
business hours and upon reasonable notice to all the books and records and
correspondence of Borrower, and Pledgee or its representatives may examine the
same, take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and Borrower agrees
to render to Pledgee, at Borrower's cost and expense, such clerical and other
assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto.
(m) Continuous Perfection. Borrower will not change its name, identity or
corporate structure in any manner which might make any financing or continuation
statement filed in connection herewith seriously misleading within the meaning
of Section 9-402 of the UCC (or any other then applicable provision of the UCC)
unless Borrower shall have given Pledgee at least 30 days prior written notice
thereof and shall have taken all action (or made arrangements to take such
action substantially simultaneously with such change if it is impossible to take
such action in advance) necessary or reasonably requested by Pledgee to amend
such financing statement or continuation statement so that it is not seriously
misleading.
6. Pledgee's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Pledgee and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place
and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time
to time in Pledgee's reasonable discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the

foregoing, hereby gives Pledgee the power and right, on behalf of Borrower,
without notice to or assent by Borrower to do the following:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 10
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
Collateral as fully and completely as though Pledgee were the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Pledgee's
option and Borrower's expense, at any time, or from time to time,
all acts and things which Pledgee reasonably deems necessary to
protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Pledgee's
security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this
Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Borrower
might do.
(b) Pledgee agrees that, except upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, it will forebear from exercising the power
of attorney or any rights granted to Lender pursuant to this Section 6. Borrower
hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of attorney granted
pursuant to this Section 6 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.
(c) The powers conferred on Pledgee hereunder are solely to protect
Pledgee's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to
exercise any such powers. Pledgee shall be accountable only for amounts that it
actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor
any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Borrower for any act or failure to act, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
(d) Borrower also authorizes Pledgee, at any time and from time to time
upon the occurrence and during the continuation any Event of Default, (i) to
communicate in its own name with any party to any Contract with regard to the
collateral assignment of the right, title and interest of Borrower in and under
the Contracts hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (ii) to execute,
in connection with the sale provided for in Section 8 hereof, any endorsements,
assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral reasonably requested by Pledgee.
7. Performance by Pledgee of Borrower's Obligations. If Borrower fails to
perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and Pledgee, as
provided for by the terms of this Security Agreement, shall itself perform or
comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the
reasonable expenses of Pledgee or such Secured Party incurred in connection with
such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate then
in effect under the Notes, shall be payable by Borrower to Pledgee or such
Secured Party on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations secured hereby.
8. Remedies, Rights Upon Default.
(a) If any or Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Pledgee may
(on behalf of and as agent for Secured Parties) exercise in addition to all
other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security Agreement and in any
other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 11
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower expressly
agrees that in any such event Pledgee, without demand of performance or other
demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below
of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Borrower or any other
Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby
expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable
law), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver
said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more
parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker's board or
at any of Pledgee's offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for
cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
Pledgee shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the
extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the
whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption, which equity of redemption Borrower hereby releases. Borrower
further agrees, at Pledgee's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Pledgee at places which Pledgee shall reasonably select, whether at
Borrower's premises or elsewhere. Pledgee shall apply the net proceeds of any
such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, as
provided in Section 8(d) hereof, Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency
remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so paying over such net
proceeds and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any
provision of law, including Section 9-504 of the UCC, need Lender account for
the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, Borrower waives all claims, damages, and demands against Pledgee or any
Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the
Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Pledgee. Borrower agrees that the Pledgee need not give more than
ten days' notice (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed or
delivered on an overnight basis, postage prepaid, addressed to Borrower at its
address referred to in Section 12 hereof) of the time and place of any public
sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such
notice is reasonable notification of such matters. Borrower shall remain liable
for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Secured Parties are entitled,
Borrower also being liable for the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by
Pledgee or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(b) Borrower also agrees to pay all costs of Pledgee and Secured Parties,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder.
(c) Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with
this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(d) The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or
any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by Pledgee in the following
order of priorities:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 12
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
first, to Pledgee in an amount sufficient to pay in full the expenses of
Pledgee and Secured Parties in connection with such sale, disposition or other
realization, including all reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances
incurred or made by Pledgee in connection therewith, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees;
second, to Pledgee or Secured Parties in an amount equal to the then unpaid
principal of and accrued interest and prepayment premiums, if any, on the
Secured Obligations;
third, to Pledgee or Secured Parties in an amount equal to any other
Secured Obligations which are then unpaid; and
finally, upon payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations, to pay to
Borrower, or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct, any surplus then remaining from such Proceeds.
9. Limitation on Pledgee's Duty in Respect of Collateral. Pledgee shall use
reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its
control. Pledgee shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its
possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of
it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior
parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Upon request of Borrower,
Pledgee shall account for any moneys received by it in respect of any
foreclosure on or disposition of the Collateral.
10. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Borrower for
liquidation or reorganization, should Borrower become insolvent or make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower's assets, and shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be
restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a
"voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance", or otherwise, all as though such
payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any
part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured
Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and
not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other
communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any

other communication with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be
given as set forth in Section 12.1 of the Purchase Agreement. The giving of any

effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or
other communication.
12. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
13. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither Pledgee nor any Secured Party
shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of
its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in
writing, signed by Pledgee, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A
waiver by Pledgee or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any
one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which
Pledgee or any Secured Party would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No
failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Pledgee or any
Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies
hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently,
and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the
terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified

be binding upon the successors and assigns of Borrower, and shall, together with
the rights and remedies of Pledgee and Secured Parties hereunder, inure to the
benefit of Pledgee and Secured Parties, all future holders of the Notes and
their respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other
sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing
or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or
interest therein shall in any manner affect the security interest granted to
Pledgee and Secured Parties hereunder.
(b) THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND BE CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
15. Further Indemnification. Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Pledgee
and Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or
resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other similar
taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of
the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by

<PAGE>
Pledgee and Secured Parties of a security interest therein or the receipt by
Pledgee or any Secured Party of any payment relating to any Contract pursuant
hereto, nor shall Pledgee or any Secured Party be required or obligated in any
manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of Borrower under or
pursuant to any Contract, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to
the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency
of any performance by any party under any Contract, or to present or file any
claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the
payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.

terminate said authority at any time. After the occurrence of an Event of
Default or Lockbox Event, all Proceeds of such collections, when first collected
by Borrower, received in payment of any Accounts in which Pledgee and Secured
Parties have been granted a security interest herein or on account of any of its
Contracts in which Pledgee and Secured Parties have been granted a security
interest herein, shall be promptly deposited by Borrower in precisely the form

Proceeds, when deposited, shall continue to be collateral security for all of

Pledgee, Borrower shall deliver to Pledgee all original and other documents
evidencing and relating to the performance of labor or service which created
such Accounts, including, without limitation, all original purchase orders,
invoices and shipping receipts; and, prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Borrower shall deliver photocopies thereof to Pledgee at its request.
Borrower shall maintain the Lockbox Account in effect at all times after its

such Contracts have been assigned to Pledgee and that payments shall be made
directly to Pledgee. Upon the request of Pledgee, Borrower will so notify such
Account Debtors and parties to such Contracts. After the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Pledgee may at any time in its own name
or in the name of others communicate with such Account Debtors and parties to
such Contracts to verify with such Persons to Pledgee's satisfaction the
existence, amount and terms of any such Accounts or Contracts.

(d) Upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower (unless an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, in which case no notice is necessary), Pledgee
shall have the right to make test verifications of the Accounts through any
medium that it considers advisable, and Borrower agrees to furnish all such
assistance and information as Pledgee may reasonably require in connection
therewith. Prior to the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, such verification shall be in Borrower's name. Borrower at its expense
will prepare and deliver to Pledgee, upon Pledgee's request made not more often

of Pledgee, Borrower shall provide to Pledgee, immediately after the same become
available, any and all invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates,
instruments and other documents necessary in the sole judgment of Pledgee to
permit or facilitate such draws.
4. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants
that:
(a) Except for the security interest granted to Pledgee pursuant to this
Security Agreement and Permitted Junior Liens, Borrower is or will be the sole
owner of each item of the Collateral in which it purports to grant a security
interest hereunder, having good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of
any and all liens, security interests or other encumbrances. No amount payable
under or in connection with any of its Accounts or Contracts are evidenced by
instruments which have not been delivered to Pledgee.
(b) No effective security agreement, financing statement, equivalent
security or lien instrument or continuation agreement covering all or any part
of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as
may have been filed by Borrower in favor of Pledgee pursuant to this Security
Agreement or filed in connection with Permitted Junior Liens.
(c) Upon the filing of financing statements in the form of Exhibit A hereto
describing the items or types of Collateral as to which security interests may
be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the UCC in the
jurisdictions listed on Schedule II hereto and the delivery to Pledgee of the
original letters of credit listed on Schedule I hereto, this Security Agreement
shall be effective to create and perfect a valid and continuing lien on and
perfected security interest in such Collateral with respect to which a security
interest may be perfected by filing or the obtaining of possession of the
Collateral pursuant to the UCC in favor of Pledgee, prior to all other security
interests (other than the security interests granted to Pledgee under this
Security Agreement and Permitted Junior Liens), and is enforceable as such as
against creditors of and purchasers from Borrower. All action necessary or
desirable to protect and perfect such security interest in each item of the
Collateral has been duly taken.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 6 SecAgmt Management
(Inventory Management Systems, Inc.)
<PAGE>
(d) The address of Borrower's principal place of business and the place
where its records concerning the Collateral are kept is set forth on Schedule
III hereto, and Borrower will not change such principal place of business or
remove such records unless it has taken such action as is necessary to cause the
security interest of Pledgee in the Collateral to continue to be perfected.
Borrower will not change its principal place of business or the place where its
records concerning the Collateral is kept without giving 30 days prior written
notice thereof to Pledgee.
(e) The amount represented by Borrower to Pledgee from time to time as
owing by each Account Debtor or by all Account Debtors in respect of the
Accounts will at such time be the correct amount actually and unconditionally
owing by such Account Debtors thereunder.
(f) Each of the letters of credit listed on Schedule I hereto constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuer thereof, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms. Borrower has taken all actions
necessary to provide for the transfer to Pledgee of all its right, title and
interest in, to and under the letters of credit listed on Schedule I hereto and
Pledgee has the right to draw under such letters of credit in accordance with
their respective terms. Such transfers are enforceable against the issuers of
such letters of credit and creditors of Borrower.
5. Covenants. Borrower covenants and agrees with Pledgee that from and
after the date of this Security Agreement and until the Secured Obligations are
fully satisfied:
(a) Further Documentation; Pledge of Instruments. At any time and from time
to time, upon the written request of Pledgee, and at the sole expense of
Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such
further instruments and documents and take such further action as Pledgee may
reasonably deem necessary to obtain the full benefits of this Security Agreement
and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation,
using its best efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or
appropriate for the assignment to Pledgee of any Contract held by Borrower or in
which Borrower has any rights not heretofore assigned, the filing of any
financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the liens and
security interests granted hereby and transferring Collateral to Pledgee's
possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by
possession). Borrower also hereby authorizes Pledgee to file any such financing
or continuation statement without the signature of Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law. A photocopy of this Security Agreement may be filed
as a financing statement. If any amount payable under or in connection with any
of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any instrument, such
instrument shall be immediately pledged to Pledgee hereunder, and shall be duly
endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Pledgee and delivered to Pledgee.
(b) Maintenance of Records. Borrower will keep and maintain at its own cost
and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, including,
without limitation, a record of all payments received and all credits granted
with respect to the Collateral and all other dealings with the Collateral. For
Pledgee's further security, Borrower agrees that Pledgee shall have a special
property interest in all of Borrower's books and records pertaining to the
Collateral and, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default, Borrower shall deliver
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 7 SecAgmt Management

<PAGE>
and turn over any such books and records to Pledgee or to its representatives at
any time on demand of Pledgee. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
and upon reasonable notice from Pledgee, Borrower shall permit any
representative of Pledgee to inspect such books and records upon reasonable
notice and during normal business hours, and will provide photocopies thereof to
Pledgee.
(c) Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Pledgee
or any Secured Party relating to any Account or Contract for any sum owing
thereunder, or to enforce any provision of any Account or Contract, Borrower
will save, indemnify and keep Pledgee and Secured Parties harmless from and
against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor
thereunder, arising out of a breach by Borrower of any obligation thereunder or
arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing
to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from Borrower, and all such
obligations of Borrower shall be and remain enforceable against and only against
Borrower and shall not be enforceable against Pledgee or any Secured Party.
(d) Compliance with Laws, etc. Borrower will comply, in all material
respects, with all acts, rules, regulations, orders, decrees and directions of
any governmental authority, applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or
to the operation of Borrower's business; provided, however, that Borrower may
contest any act, regulation, order, decree or direction in any reasonable manner
which shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Pledgee, adversely affect
Pledgee's rights hereunder or adversely affect the first priority of its
security interest in the Collateral.
(e) Payment of Obligations. Borrower will pay promptly when due all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral.
(f) Compliance with Terms of Accounts, etc. Borrower will perform and
comply with all obligations in respect of Accounts and Contracts and all other
agreements to which it is a party or by which it is bound.
(g) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Borrower will not create, permit or
suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against and take such other
action as is necessary to remove, any lien, security interest or other
encumbrance on the Collateral except for Permitted Liens, and will defend the
right, title and interest of Pledgee in and to any of Borrower's rights under
the Accounts, Contracts, Documents and General Intangibles and to the Proceeds
thereof against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(h) Limitations on Modifications of Accounts, etc. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any Event of Default, Borrower will not, without
Pledgee's prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of
any of the Accounts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the
full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the
payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.

(i) Limitations on Disposition. Borrower will not sell, lease, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral except, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, for the performance of Contracts and the collection of its
Accounts in the ordinary course of its business.
(j) Further Identification of Collateral. Borrower will if so requested by
Pledgee furnish to Pledgee, as often as Pledgee reasonably requests, statements
and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other
reports in connection with the Collateral as Pledgee may reasonably request, all
in reasonable detail.
(k) Notices. Borrower will advise Pledgee promptly, after it learns of
same, in reasonable detail, (i) of any material lien, security interest,
encumbrance or claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral other than

Collateral, and (iii) of the occurrence of any other event which would have a
material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the
security interests created hereunder.
(l) Right of Inspection. Upon reasonable notice to Borrower (unless an
Event Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no notice is
necessary), Pledgee shall at all times have full and free access during normal
business hours and upon reasonable notice to all the books and records and
correspondence of Borrower, and Pledgee or its representatives may examine the
same, take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and Borrower agrees
to render to Pledgee, at Borrower's cost and expense, such clerical and other
assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto.
(m) Continuous Perfection. Borrower will not change its name, identity or
corporate structure in any manner which might make any financing or continuation
statement filed in connection herewith seriously misleading within the meaning
of Section 9-402 of the UCC (or any other then applicable provision of the UCC)
unless Borrower shall have given Pledgee at least 30 days prior written notice
thereof and shall have taken all action (or made arrangements to take such
action substantially simultaneously with such change if it is impossible to take
such action in advance) necessary or reasonably requested by Pledgee to amend
such financing statement or continuation statement so that it is not seriously
misleading.
6. Pledgee's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Pledgee and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place
and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time
to time in Pledgee's reasonable discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the
terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to
execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary
or desirable to accomplish the purpose of this Security Agreement and, without
limiting the generality of the
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

foregoing, hereby gives Pledgee the power and right, on behalf of Borrower,
without notice to or assent by Borrower to do the following:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and
receipts for any and all moneys due and to become due under any
Collateral and, in the name of Borrower or its own name or
otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any
checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other Instruments for the
payment of monies due under any Collateral, to access all post
office boxes maintained by or for Borrower for the collection of
any of the Collateral, and to file any claim or to take any other
action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise
deemed appropriate by Pledgee for the purpose of collecting any
and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable and
to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in
any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by
Pledgee for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due
under any Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other
encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by

Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due, and to

direct; (B) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all
moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become due at any
time, in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign

lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors,
assignments, verifications and notices in connection with
accounts and other Documents constituting or relating to the
Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or
proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent
jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to
enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to
defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Borrower
with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or
adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in

any of the
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 10 SecAgmt Management
(Inventory Management Systems, Inc.)
<PAGE>
Collateral as fully and completely as though Pledgee were the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Pledgee's
option and Borrower's expense, at any time, or from time to time,
all acts and things which Pledgee reasonably deems necessary to
protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Pledgee's
security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this
Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Borrower
might do.
(b) Pledgee agrees that, except upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, it will forebear from exercising the power
of attorney or any rights granted to Lender pursuant to this Section 6. Borrower
hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of attorney granted
pursuant to this Section 6 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.
(c) The powers conferred on Pledgee hereunder are solely to protect
Pledgee's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to
exercise any such powers. Pledgee shall be accountable only for amounts that it
actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor
any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Borrower for any act or failure to act, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
(d) Borrower also authorizes Pledgee, at any time and from time to time
upon the occurrence and during the continuation any Event of Default, (i) to
communicate in its own name with any party to any Contract with regard to the
collateral assignment of the right, title and interest of Borrower in and under
the Contracts hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (ii) to execute,
in connection with the sale provided for in Section 8 hereof, any endorsements,
assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral reasonably requested by Pledgee.
7. Performance by Pledgee of Borrower's Obligations. If Borrower fails to
perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and Pledgee, as
provided for by the terms of this Security Agreement, shall itself perform or
comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the
reasonable expenses of Pledgee or such Secured Party incurred in connection with
such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate then
in effect under the Notes, shall be payable by Borrower to Pledgee or such
Secured Party on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations secured hereby.
8. Remedies, Rights Upon Default.
(a) If any or Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Pledgee may
(on behalf of and as agent for Secured Parties) exercise in addition to all
other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security Agreement and in any
other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 11 SecAgmt Management
(Inventory Management Systems, Inc.)
<PAGE>
the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower expressly
agrees that in any such event Pledgee, without demand of performance or other
demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below
of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Borrower or any other
Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby
expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable
law), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver
said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more
parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker's board or
at any of Pledgee's offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for
cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
Pledgee shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the
extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the
whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption, which equity of redemption Borrower hereby releases. Borrower
further agrees, at Pledgee's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Pledgee at places which Pledgee shall reasonably select, whether at
Borrower's premises or elsewhere. Pledgee shall apply the net proceeds of any
such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, as
provided in Section 8(d) hereof, Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency
remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so paying over such net
proceeds and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any
provision of law, including Section 9-504 of the UCC, need Lender account for
the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, Borrower waives all claims, damages, and demands against Pledgee or any
Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the
Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Pledgee. Borrower agrees that the Pledgee need not give more than
ten days' notice (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed or
delivered on an overnight basis, postage prepaid, addressed to Borrower at its
address referred to in Section 12 hereof) of the time and place of any public
sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such
notice is reasonable notification of such matters. Borrower shall remain liable
for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Secured Parties are entitled,
Borrower also being liable for the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by
Pledgee or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(b) Borrower also agrees to pay all costs of Pledgee and Secured Parties,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder.
(c) Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with
this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(d) The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or
any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by Pledgee in the following
order of priorities:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 12 SecAgmt Management
(Inventory Management Systems, Inc.)
<PAGE>
first, to Pledgee in an amount sufficient to pay in full the expenses of
Pledgee and Secured Parties in connection with such sale, disposition or other
realization, including all reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances
incurred or made by Pledgee in connection therewith, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees;
second, to Pledgee or Secured Parties in an amount equal to the then unpaid
principal of and accrued interest and prepayment premiums, if any, on the
Secured Obligations;
third, to Pledgee or Secured Parties in an amount equal to any other
Secured Obligations which are then unpaid; and
finally, upon payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations, to pay to
Borrower, or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct, any surplus then remaining from such Proceeds.
9. Limitation on Pledgee's Duty in Respect of Collateral. Pledgee shall use
reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its
control. Pledgee shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its
possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of
it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior
parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Upon request of Borrower,
Pledgee shall account for any moneys received by it in respect of any
foreclosure on or disposition of the Collateral.
10. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Borrower for
liquidation or reorganization, should Borrower become insolvent or make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower's assets, and shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be
restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a
"voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance", or otherwise, all as though such
payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any
part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured
Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and
not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
11. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided
herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other
communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any
other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any
other communication with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be
given as set forth in Section 12.1 of the Purchase Agreement with the address
for notices for Take-Two set forth therein being the address for notices for
Borrower under this Security Agreement. The giving of any notice required
hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such notice.
Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent,
approval,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 13 SecAgmt Management
(Inventory Management Systems, Inc.)
<PAGE>
declaration or other communication to the persons designated above to receive
copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication.
12. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
13. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither Pledgee nor any Secured Party
shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of
its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in
writing, signed by Pledgee, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A
waiver by Pledgee or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any
one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which
Pledgee or any Secured Party would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No
failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Pledgee or any
Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies
hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently,
and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the
terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified
or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Pledgee and,
where applicable, by Borrower.
14. Successors and Assigns; Governing Law.
(a) This Security Agreement and all obligations of Borrower hereunder shall
be binding upon the successors and assigns of Borrower, and shall, together with
the rights and remedies of Pledgee and Secured Parties hereunder, inure to the
benefit of Pledgee and Secured Parties, all future holders of the Notes and
their respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other
sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing
or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or
interest therein shall in any manner affect the security interest granted to
Pledgee and Secured Parties hereunder.
(b) THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND BE CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
15. Further Indemnification. Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Pledgee
and Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or
resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other similar
taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of
the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by
this Security Agreement.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16. Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES
HEREUNDER.
17. Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of any other Financing
Document, at such time as (i) the entire unpaid principal balance of the Notes
and all accrued interest thereon have been converted in full in accordance with
Article III of the Purchase Agreement or indefeasibly paid in full ("Payment or
Conversion in Full") and (ii) all other payment obligations under the Notes and
the Purchase Agreement due and owing as of the date of such Payment or
Conversion in Full have been indefeasibly paid in full, this Agreement and the
security interests created hereby shall terminate. Upon termination of this
Agreement and Borrower's written request, Pledgee will, at Borrower's sole cost
and expense, return to Borrower such of the Collateral as shall not have been
sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and
execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination.

TRANSFER AGENT AGREEMENT
THIS TRANSFER AGENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated October 14, 1997,
between TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and INFINITY INVESTORS LIMITED, a Nevis, West Indies corporation,
INFINITY EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES LIMITED, a Nevis, West Indies corporation, and
GLACIER CAPITAL LIMITED, a Nevis, West Indies corporation (being collectively
referred to herein as the "Holders") and American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, the transfer agent for the Company's common stock (the "Transfer
Agent").
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the
date hereof (the "Purchase Agreement") by and among the Company and the Holders,
the Company agreed to issue to the Holders (1) $4,200,000 aggregate principal
amount of 10% senior, secured convertible notes (the "Convertible Notes"), which
are convertible, at the option of the Holders, into shares of common stock, $.01
par value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") (such shares issuable
upon such conversion being referred to as the "Shares"); (2) 50,000 shares of
Common Stock (the "Grant Shares"); and (3) Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the
"Warrants") exercisable for 250,000 additional shares of Common Stock; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Holders have agreed to enter into this
Agreement with the Transfer Agent to (i) facilitate the closing of the Purchase
Agreement (the "Closing" or "Closing Date", as applicable), (iii) provide for a
system of accounting for the Convertible Notes and (iv) facilitate the
conversion of the Convertible Notes and issuance of the Shares associated
therewith.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties hereby agree
as follows:
1. Closing. The Transfer Agent hereby agrees to act as an escrow agent to
facilitate the Closing as follows:
(a) On the Closing Date, the Holders shall wire transfer to an account
designated by the Transfer Agent (x) $4,032,000, representing the purchase price
applicable to the Convertible Notes (the "Purchase Price"), less (y) $25,000
(minus any portion thereof previously paid) (the "Reimbursement Fee") and the
Company shall deliver to the Transfer Agent the Convertible Notes, the Grant
Shares and the Warrants to be issued in the names of the Holders and in the
amounts as set forth on ---- Schedule I hereto. The Transfer Agent may, at its
discretion, confirm the authenticity of the Convertible Notes and the Warrants
by transmitting a copy of same in the form received from the Company to HW
Partners, L.P., on behalf of the Holders or its counsel, for written or oral
verification as to the form thereof.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER AGENT AGREEMENT - Page 1
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
(b) Immediately following such deliveries the Transfer Agent shall wire
transfer to the Company such funds less the Whale Fee, which shall be paid
directly to Whale.
(c) Contemporaneous with the transfer of funds as described in Subsection
(b) above, the Transfer Agent shall (i) hold the Convertible Notes for the
benefit of the respective Holders, as hereafter described and (ii) deliver the
Grant Shares and Warrants to the Holders at the address(es) set forth herein.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, by joint written agreement the Holders
and the Company may agree to effect the Closing (either partially or entirely)
without using the services of the Transfer Agent. In such event, (i) the Holders
shall wire the Purchase Price, less the Reimbursement Fee to the Company, (ii)
the Company shall deliver the original Grant Shares and Warrants to the Holders
or their designee, and (iii) the Company shall deliver the Convertible Notes to
the Transfer Agent to be held for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.
2. Ownership of Convertible Notes. Record and beneficial ownership of the
Convertible Notes shall remain in the name of the Holders (unless and until
transferred pursuant to the terms thereof, with written notice thereof to the
Transfer Agent). Any transfer or purported transfer of the Convertible Notes (a)
not made pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes and (b) not properly
noticed to the Transfer Agent shall be null and void ab initio and shall not be
given effect thereto by the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall not be
required to acknowledge any transfer of the Convertible Notes unless accompanied
by written confirmation thereof from the Holders. The wire transfer account of
each Holder is as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto. The address of each
Holder is as set forth in Section 8 hereof.
3. Paying Agent. The Transfer Agent shall act as paying agent for the
Convertible Notes. Accordingly, all payments of interest or principal amounts
required of the Company related to the Convertible Notes shall be made to the
Transfer Agent for the account and benefit of the holders of such Convertible
Notes as registered on the books of the Transfer Agent (each, a "Registered
Holder"). Upon the receipt of any such payment of interest or principal amounts,
in cash, the Transfer Agent shall promptly wire transfer such sum to the account
of the Registered Holders as reflected on the books of the Transfer Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders may, at their option, authorize the
Company to directly pay to the Holders all sums due and owing on the Convertible
Notes. If the Holders so elect, the Company shall notify the Transfer Agent
(with a copy thereof to the Holders) of the amount of such payment. Upon receipt
of such notice, which has been confirmed in writing by the Holders, the Transfer
Agent shall make all appropriate entries on the Accounting Ledger (as hereafter
defined).
4. Accounting Agent. The Transfer Agent shall act as the accounting agent
of the Company and the Registered Holders and shall establish and maintain an
accounting ledger for the Convertible Notes (the "Accounting Ledger"). The
Transfer Agent shall credit (reduce) the outstanding balance of the Convertible
Notes by all (i) payments of principal and interest made by the Company to the
Transfer Agent as paying agent as required pursuant to Section 3 above, and (ii)
by the appropriate amount upon delivery of Shares to the applicable Registered
Holder following receipt of a Notice of Conversion (as defined in Section 5
below). At such time as the
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER AGENT AGREEMENT - Page 2
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
balance of the Convertible Notes, as reflected on the Account Ledger is zero
following the procedures described in this Agreement, the Transfer Agent shall
return such convertible Notes to the Company marked "paid in full" or
"cancelled."
5. Issuance of Converted Shares.
(a) Consistent with each Convertible Note, in order to convert all or a
portion of a Convertible Note into Shares, a Registered Holder shall deliver
written notice (each, a "Notice of Conversion"), in the form prescribed by the
Convertible Notes, to the Transfer Agent for the portion of the Convertible Note
that it elects to so convert and a calculation of the number of Shares to be
issued upon such conversion. Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of any such
Notice of Conversion (including receipt via facsimile) from any Registered
Holder, the Transfer Agent shall immediately deliver a copy thereof to the
Company, via facsimile, requesting the Company to confirm the number of Shares
to be issued to Registered Holder in connection therewith. The Company shall,
within two (2) Business Days (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of the
receipt thereof, in good faith confirm or dispute the number of Shares to be
issued to the Registered Holder, providing written notice (with supporting
calculations and related information) thereof via facsimile to the Transfer
Agent and the Registered Holder (the "Company Notice"). In any event, the
Company shall include in the Company Notice that number of Shares which it
believes, in good faith, are in fact issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
Note (the "Minimum Number"). In the event the Company confirms the number of
Shares to be so issued, it shall, as part of the Company Notice, direct the
Transfer Agent to issue such Shares. In the event the Company fails to deliver a
Company Notice or disputes the number of Shares to be so issued, the Company and
the Registered Holder shall immediately, in good faith, seek to resolve such
dispute.
(b) The Transfer Agent shall not be required to issue any shares unless and
until receipt (including via facsimile) of (i) written notice from either (x)
the Company, confirming the number of Shares to be issued or (y) the Registered
Holder and the Company, setting forth the number of Shares to be issued, or (ii)
a final nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing the
Transfer Agent to issue a specified number of Shares. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each Holder expressly reserves all rights and remedies against the
Company for the failure of the Company to confirm to the Transfer Agent in any
applicable Company Notice the number of Shares issuable as set forth in a
properly completed and accurate Notice of Conversion.
(c) Reference is hereby made to that certain Registration Rights Agreement
appended to the Purchase Agreement. At such time as the Registration Statement
as contemplated therein has been declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission covering the resale of the Shares held by a particular
Registered Holder, the Company shall cause its legal counsel to deliver to the
Transfer Agent an opinion to the effect that Shares may be sold by such
Registered Holder pursuant to such Registration Statement with the purchaser
thereof receiving share certificates, without restrictive legend, provided the
Transfer Agent has received confirmation associated therewith, in a form
customarily utilized by the applicable registered broker/dealer substantially to
the effect that the prospectus delivery requirements have been satisfied. In the
event that, at any time, the Registration Statement ceases to be effective, the
Company or its legal counsel shall immediately deliver written notice thereof to
the Transfer Agent and the Registered Holders stating that the opinion of the
Company's legal counsel may no longer be relied upon by
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER AGENT AGREEMENT - Page 3
(Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.)
<PAGE>
the Transfer Agent (unless and until an additional or amended, as applicable,
Registration Statement is so declared effective with an accompanying opinion
from the Company's legal counsel). Upon the receipt of any Notice of Conversion
while the Registration Statement is effective, the share certificates
representing the Shares described above shall be bear a restrictive legend
unless the Registered Holder, either in connection with the delivery of the
Notice of Conversion or thereafter, delivers written notice to the Transfer
Agent, the Company and its counsel (including notice via telecopy) that the
Shares have been sold by the Registered Holder pursuant to such Registration
Statement, whereupon the Transfer Agent shall issue share certificates to the
purchaser thereof without restrictive legend.
(d) Each time a payment of principal is recorded in the Accounting Ledger
(whether by virtue of a cash payment or by virtue of a conversion into Shares),
the Transfer Agent may, at its option, deliver the Convertible Notes to the
Company requiring the Company to reissue Convertible Notes in the names of the
Registered Holders with new principal balances reflecting such payment.
6. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate promptly upon the earlier to
occur of (i) written demand by the Company and all Registered Holders or (ii) no
unpaid balance remains with respect to any of the Convertible Notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transfer Agent may terminate its obligations
under this Agreement at such time as the Transfer Agent no longer serves as the
Transfer Agent for the Company's Common Stock, by delivery of written notice
thereof to the Registered Holders and the Company. Upon delivery of such notice,
the Transfer Agent shall deliver the original Convertible Notes to HW Partners,
L.P., on behalf of all Registered Holders, together with a copy of the
Accounting Ledger (with corresponding copies delivered to the Company).
Immediately thereafter, HW Partners, L.P., as representative of the Holders, and
the Company shall, in good faith, attempt to establish an agreement similar to
this Agreement with the Company's new stock transfer agent.
7. Fees. The Company hereby agrees to pay the Transfer Agent for customary
fees charged for all services rendered hereunder.
8. Notices. Any notice or demand to be given or that may be given under
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be (a) delivered by hand, or (b)
delivered through or by expedited mail or package service, or (c) transmitted by
telecopy, in each case with personal delivery acknowledged, addressed to the
parties as follows. Each such notice or demand shall be effective (i) if given
by telecopy, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopier number
specified in this Agreement, (ii) if given by any other means, when delivered at
the addressed as specified herein.

9. Noncontravention. The Company agrees that it will not at any time take
any action or undertake any activity that would in any way impede, restrict or
limit the right and ability of the Registered Holders to convert the Convertible

10. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Transfer Agent, each officer, director, employee and agent of the Transfer
Agent, and each person, if any, who controls the Transfer Agent within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") against any losses,
claims, damages, or liabilities, joint or several, to which it, they or any of
them, or such controlling person, may become subject, under the Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon the
performance by the Transfer Agent of its duties pursuant to the Agreement; and
will reimburse the Transfer Agent, and each officer, director, employee and
agent of the Transfer Agent, and each such controlling person for any reasonable
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it or any of them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any case if
such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any action
not taken in good faith, or any action or omission that constitutes gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice
of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section, notify in
writing the Company of the

commencement thereof, and failure so to notify the Company will relieve the
Company from any liability under this Section as to the particular item for
which indemnification is then being sought but not from any other liability
which it may have to any indemnified party. In case any such action is brought
against any indemnified party, and it notifies the Company of the commencement
thereof, the Company will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel selected by the Company, who shall be to the reasonable satisfaction of
such indemnified party. The Company shall not be liable to any such indemnified
party on account of any settlement of any claim of action effected without the
consent of the Company.

accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to
conflicts of law rules of such jurisdiction. Any action brought to enforce, or
otherwise arising out of, this Agreement, shall be heard and determined in
either a federal or state court sitting in the State of New York.
12. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, constitutes the full and
entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged,
