NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and in the
Purchase Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows. 

ARTICLE I 
 REGISTRATION
RIGHTS 
 Section 1.1. Right to Piggyback. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to an offering of Common Stock whether or not for sale for its own account, other than a registration statement (a) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto,
(b) filed in connection with an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan or (c) relating solely to the offer and sale of debt securities (such registration statement, including the Prospectus (as defined below),
amendments and supplements to such registration statement, including post-effective amendments, all exhibits and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such registration statement, the
“Registration Statement”), then the Company shall give prompt written notice of such filing no later than ten (10) days prior to the filing date (the “Piggyback Notice”) to all of the holders of Registrable
Securities. The Piggyback Notice shall offer such holders the opportunity to include (or cause to be included) in such Registration Statement the number of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request (a “Piggyback
Registration”). Subject to Sections 1.2 and 4.1 hereof and the delivery by any such holder to the Company all required documentation necessary to include such Registrable Securities of each such holder in the Registration
Statement, the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests from the holders thereof for inclusion therein (each a “Piggyback
Request”) within ten (10) days after delivery of the Piggyback Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, “Registrable Securities” means, as of any date of determination, the shares of

 
Common Stock issued to the Holders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and any other securities issued or issuable with respect to, in exchange for, or in replacement of any such Common Stock by
way of stock split, stock dividend, distribution, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, or similar event or otherwise. As to any particular Registrable Securities, once issued, such securities shall cease to be Registrable
Securities when (i) such Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act, (ii) such Registrable Securities shall have ceased to be outstanding or (iii) such Registrable
Securities have been sold in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under this Agreement are not assigned to the transferee of the securities pursuant to Section 5.6 hereof. 

Section 1.2. Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If any of the Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to the
registration giving rise to the rights under this Article I are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering to
permit holders of Registrable Securities who have submitted a Piggyback Request in connection with such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities included in each holder’s Piggyback Request on the same terms and conditions
as any other shares of Common Stock, if any, of the Company included in the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering advise the Company in writing that the total number or
dollar amount of securities that such holders, the Company and any other persons having rights to participate in such registration, intend to include in such offering is such as to adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the securities
in such offering, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of the Registrable Securities so requested that in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without so adversely
affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows: (a) first, to the Company, and (b) second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such underwritten
offering pursuant to this Article I (on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder who is requesting inclusion); provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities to be
included in such underwritten offering shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company held by (i) officers, directors, other employees of the Company and consultants and (ii) other holders of the Company’s capital
stock with registration rights, are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. 
 Section 1.3. Restrictions on
Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees with all other holders of Registrable Securities and the Company in connection with any underwritten offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement
(whether or not such holder elected to include Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement), if requested pursuant to a written notice by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such offering, not to effect any public sale or
distribution of any of the Company’s securities (except as part of such underwritten offering), including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or any swap or other economic arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of owning
Common Stock, during the period commencing on the date of the Prospectus (as defined below) and continuing for not more than 90 days after the date of the Prospectus (or, in either case, Prospectus supplement if the offering is made pursuant to a
“shelf” registration), pursuant to which such public offering shall be made. In connection with any underwritten offering made 

  
 2 

 
pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Article I, the Company shall be responsible for negotiating all “lock-up” agreements with the underwriters in
customary form and, in addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.3, the holders of Registrable Securities agree to execute the form so negotiated. For purposes of this Agreement, “Prospectus” means the
prospectus included in any Registration Statement (including a prospectus that discloses information previously omitted from a prospectus filed as part of an effective Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A or Rule 430B promulgated under
the Securities Act), as amended or supplemented by any prospectus supplement, and all other amendments and supplements to the Prospectus, including post-effective amendments, and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by
reference in such prospectus. 
 ARTICLE II 

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

(a) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on such form as shall
be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the holders thereof or by the Company in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof and in accordance with this Agreement, and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto
(including documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to the holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their
counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, and such other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment letter from the SEC; 

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep

Statement; and cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the securities covered by such Registration
Statement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act;

qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (v) if the Company has knowledge of the happening of any event that makes any statement
made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement,
Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not
misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; 
 (d) furnish or make available to each selling holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel and each managing
underwriter, if any, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and Prospectus supplements, if applicable, and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements (but excluding
schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits, unless requested in writing by such holder, counsel or underwriter); provided that the Company may furnish or make available any such
documents in electronic format; 
 (e) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to

of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any seller or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and to keep each such registration or
qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to this Agreement and to take any other action that may be necessary or advisable to enable such holders of
Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where
would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Agreement or (ii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be subject but for this Agreement; 

(f) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; 

  
 4

Section 2.1(c)(v) above, as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such that the Registration Statement will not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and the Prospectus will not contain 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

(h) use its reasonable best efforts to, cause all shares of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on a
national securities exchange if shares of the particular class of Registrable Securities are at that time listed on such exchange, as the case may be, prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement; and 

(i) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable
Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the FINRA, including the retention of a “Qualified Independent Underwriter” (as defined in FINRA Rule 5121(f)(12)) and the use of reasonable
best efforts to obtain FINRA’s pre-clearance or pre-approval of the Registration Statement and applicable Prospectus upon filing with the SEC. 

Section 2.2. Holders’ Obligations. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees, by acquisition of the Registrable
Securities, that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell any of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto, unless such holder has furnished the Company with all
material information required to be set forth in the Purchaser Questionnaire and Selling Stockholder Questionnaire pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Any sale of any Registrable Securities by any holder thereof shall constitute a representation and
warranty by such holder that the information regarding such holder is as set forth in the Prospectus delivered by such holder in connection with such disposition, and that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale contain any untrue
statement of a material fact regarding such holder or omit to state any material fact regarding such holder necessary to make the statements in such Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, solely to
the extent such facts are based upon information regarding such holder furnished in writing to the Company by such holder for use in such Prospectus. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees if such holder has Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement that, upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.1(c) hereof, such holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus until such holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.1(g) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the
Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus.

Section 3.1. Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, each holder of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are covered by a Registration Statement or Prospectus, the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents, representatives and
employees (the “Representatives”) of each of them, each Person who controls each such holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”)) and the Representatives of each such controlling person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act)
such underwriter, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any
investigation, action, claim, suit, proceeding (a “Proceeding”)), expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements

  
 6 

 
thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document (including any documents incorporated by reference therein)
incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, or based on 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, or any
violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 3.1) will
reimburse each such holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees and each Person who controls each such holder and the Representatives of each such controlling
person, each such underwriter, and each Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Loss or action; provided that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission by such holder or underwriter, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such holder of Registrable Securities
furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities expressly for inclusion therein. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any such
holder, any such Representative or any controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such holder. 

Section 3.2. Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall indemnify and hold
harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, severally and not jointly with any other holders of Registrable Securities, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and all other prospective sellers, from and against all Losses arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or any omission (or alleged omission) of a
material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other
document incidental to such registration (including any documents incorporated by reference therein), 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 to reimburse the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and all other prospective sellers
for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration
Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information regarding such holder of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities expressly for inclusion therein; provided, however, that the obligations of such holder under such
undertaking 

  
 7 

 
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such holder (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). The maximum liability of each holder of Registrable Securities for any indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.2 and any contribution pursuant to Section 3.4 shall not exceed the amount of net
proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of his/her Registrable Securities, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder. 

Section 3.3. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
“Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to
which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or
liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt
of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or Proceeding, to assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or Proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume, or in the event of a conflict of interest cannot assume, the defense of such claim or Proceeding, in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel and to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or
Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys
(together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all of the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) 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 in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder and (ii) includes any
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld). 
 Section 3.4. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article III
is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute, severally and not jointly with any
other holders of Registrable Securities, to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such
Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and
Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, 

  
 8 

 
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by,
such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. 

Section 3.5. Underwriting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. 

ARTICLE IV 
 TRANSFER
RESTRICTIONS 
 Section 4.1. Transfer Restrictions. No holder of any Registrable Securities shall be permitted to sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber in any way or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities (including any economic or voting interests with respect to such Registrable Securities and including by way of hedging and other
derivative transaction that limits or eliminates economic risk) and any rights and obligations of such holder hereunder, either voluntarily or involuntarily and with or without consideration, until the one-year anniversary of the date hereof, other

RESTRICTED UNIT AGREEMENT
 PURSUANT TO THE
 TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC.
 2009 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN
 (Amended and Restated Effective July 21, 2016)

 

This Restricted Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 25, 2017, is made by and between Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (the “Company”) and ZelnickMedia Corporation (the “Participant”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and restated from time to time, the “Plan”), a copy of which has been delivered to the Participant, which is administered by a committee appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Plan, the Committee may grant awards to Consultants that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”); and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Management Agreement between the Participant and the Company, effective as of April 1, 2014 (the “Management Agreement”), the Company may grant to the Participant additional equity awards, in amounts determined at the discretion of the Committee.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Grant of Restricted Units.  Subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby awards to the Participant 229,282 restricted units (“Restricted Units”) each representing the right to receive, upon vesting, an amount equal the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of one (1) share of Common Stock (a “Share”), subject to adjustment, forfeiture and the other terms and conditions set forth below.  The Restricted Units constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Participant, subject to the terms of this Agreement, cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, in the discretion of the Company, on the applicable vesting date for such Restricted Units as provided herein.  Until such delivery, the Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor, and no rights as a shareholder of the Company; provided, that if prior to the settlement of any Restricted Unit, (a) the Company pays a cash dividend (whether regular or extraordinary) or otherwise makes a cash distribution to a shareholder in respect of a Share, then the Company shall credit, in respect of each then-outstanding Restricted Unit held by the Participant, an amount equal to any such cash dividend or distribution to a book entry account on behalf of the Participant, provided that such cash dividend or distribution shall not be deemed to be reinvested in shares of Common Stock and will be held uninvested and without interest and

 

 

paid in cash at the same time as such Restricted Unit vests and is settled under Section 2 below (and the Participant shall forfeit any such right to such cash if such Restricted Unit is forfeited prior to vesting), and (b) the Company pays a non-cash dividend (whether regular or extraordinary) or otherwise makes a non-cash distribution in Shares or other property to a shareholder in respect of a Share, then the Company shall provide the Participant, in respect of each then-outstanding Restricted Unit held by the Participant, an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares or an amount equal to the fair market value of such other property as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith, as applicable, at the same time as such Restricted Unit vests and is settled under Section 2 below (and the Participant shall forfeit any such right to such amount if such Restricted Unit is forfeited prior to vesting).

 

2.                                      Vesting.  The Restricted Units shall become vested and settled in accordance with the terms set forth on Annex A attached hereto.

 

3.                                      Taxes.  The Participant shall be solely responsible for all applicable federal, state, local, and foreign taxes the Participant incurs from the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Units.

 

4.                                      No Obligation to Continue Service.  This Agreement is not an agreement of consultancy.  This Agreement does not guarantee that the Company or its affiliates will retain, or continue to retain, the Participant during the entire, or any portion of the, term of this Agreement, including but not limited to any period during which the Restricted Units are outstanding, nor does it modify in any respect the Company or its affiliate’s right to terminate or modify the Participant’s consultancy or compensation.

 

5.                                      Power of Attorney.  The Company, and its successors and assigns, is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, of the Participant for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments which such attorney-in-fact may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.  The Company, as attorney-in-fact for the Participant, may in the name and stead of the Participant, make and execute all conveyances, assignments, and transfers of the Restricted Units, Shares, and property provided for herein, and the Participant hereby ratifies and confirms all that the Company, as said attorney-in-fact, shall do by virtue hereof.  Nevertheless, the Participant shall, if so requested by the Company, execute and deliver to the Company all such instruments as may, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, be advisable for the purpose.

 

6.                                      Uncertificated Shares.  Notwithstanding anything else herein, to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Company may issue Shares in the form of uncertificated shares.  Such uncertificated Shares shall be credited to a book entry account maintained by the Company (or its designee) on behalf of the Participant.  If thereafter certificates are issued with respect to the uncertificated Shares, such issuance and delivery of certificates shall be in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement.

 

7.                                      Provisions of Plan Control.  This Agreement is subject to all the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations, and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be adopted

 

2

 

by the Committee and as may be in effect from time to time.  The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.  By signing and returning this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges having received and read a copy of the Plan and agrees to comply with it, this Agreement and all applicable laws and regulations.  Capitalized terms in this Agreement that are not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan.  If and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.

 

8.                                      Adjustments.  The Company shall make any adjustments to the Restricted Units upon any changes in capital structure of the Company, as determined by the Committee in good faith and in a manner consistent with the Plan.

(b)                                 This Agreement, the Plan, and the Management Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements between the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

(c)                                  The failure of any party hereto at any time to require performance by another party of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the right of such party to require performance of that provision, and any waiver by any party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under this Agreement.

(d)                                 Although the Company makes no guarantee with respect to the tax treatment of the Restricted Units, the Company intends that the Restricted Units shall not constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any successor provision or any Treasury Regulation promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) and this Agreement shall be interpreted, administered and construed consistent with such intent.  If, and only to the extent that, (i) the Restricted Units constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and (ii) the Participant is deemed to be a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in Section 409A and as determined by the Company), the payment of Restricted Units on termination of the Management Agreement shall not be made until the first business day of the seventh month following such termination or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death.

Annex A

 

Vesting

 

A.                                    Time Based Vesting.

 

Subject to Section C, 66,122 of the Restricted Units (the “Time-Based Units”) shall become vested on April 4, 2019 (the “Vesting Date”).

 

B.                                    Performance Based Vesting.

 

Subject to Section C, certain of the Restricted Units shall be subject to performance-based vesting in accordance with Section (B)(i) (the “TSR Performance-Based Units”), Section (B)(ii) (the “New IP Performance-Based Units”), and Section (B)(iii) (the “Major IP Performance-Based Units,” and together with the TSR Performance-Based Units and the New IP Performance-Based Units, the “Performance-Based Units”).

 

(i)                                     TSR Performance-Based Units.  The target number of TSR Performance-Based Units that shall be eligible to vest pursuant to this Section B(i) shall be 61,185, and the maximum number of TSR Performance-Based Units that shall be eligible to vest pursuant to this Section B(i) shall be 122,370. Subject to Section C, on the Vesting Date, a number of TSR Performance-Based Units shall become vested equal to the product of (x) the target number of TSR Performance-Based Units eligible to vest pursuant to this Section B(i) multiplied by (y) the TSR Vesting Percentage on March 29, 2019, rounded down to the nearest whole TSR Performance-Based Unit.

 

(ii)                                  New IP Performance-Based Units.  The target number of New IP Performance-Based Units that shall be eligible to vest pursuant to this Section B(ii) shall be 10,198, and the maximum number of New IP Performance-Based Units that shall be eligible to vest pursuant to this Section B(ii) shall be 20,396.  Subject to Section C, on the Vesting Date, a number of New IP Performance-Based Units shall become vested equal to the product of (x) the target number of New IP Performance-Based Units in such vesting tranche multiplied by (y) the New IP Vesting Percentage on March 29, 2019, rounded down to the nearest whole New IP Performance-Based Unit.

 

(iii)                               Major IP Performance-Based Units.  The target number of Major IP Performance-Based Units that shall be eligible to vest pursuant to this Section B(iii) shall be 10,197, and the maximum number of Major IP Performance-Based Units that shall be eligible to vest pursuant to this Section B(iii) shall be 20,394.  Subject to Section C, on the Vesting Date, a number of Major IP Performance-Based Units shall become vested equal to the product of (x) the target number of Major IP Performance-Based Units in such vesting tranche multiplied by (y) the Major IP Vesting Percentage on March 29, 2019, rounded down to the nearest whole Major IP Performance-Based Unit.

 

C.                                    Qualifying Termination; Change in Control.

 

(i)                                     Termination.  In the event of a Qualifying Termination prior to the earlier of (x) the Vesting Date or (y) a Change in Control (as defined in the Management Agreement): (a) the effective date of such Qualifying Termination shall serve as the vesting date for all Time-Based

 

A-1

 

Units hereunder, and all such Time-Based Units shall vest as of such date; (b) the effective date of such Qualifying Termination shall serve as the vesting date for all TSR Performance-Based Units hereunder and the given date for purposes of the Measurement Price, and the number of such TSR Performance-Based Units that shall vest as of such date shall be calculated in accordance with Section B(i) above based upon the Percentile Rank through the effective date of such Qualifying Termination; and (c) the effective date of such Qualifying Termination shall serve as the vesting date for all New IP Performance-Based Units and Major IP Performance-Based Units hereunder, and the target number of such New IP Performance-Based Units and Major IP Performance-Based Units (as set forth in Sections B(ii) and B(iii), as applicable) shall vest as of such date without regard to the application of the Applicable Vesting Percentage.

 

(ii)                                  Change in Control.  If a Change in Control occurs while the Management Agreement remains in effect, in any case prior to the earlier of (x) the Vesting Date or (y) a Qualifying Termination, all Time-Based Units and the target number of Performance-Based Units (as set forth in Sections B(i), B(ii) and B(iii), as applicable) shall remain eligible to vest and shall vest (without regard to the application of the Applicable Vesting Percentage, in the case of Performance-Based Units), in each case, as of the earlier of (a) a Qualifying Termination or (b) the Vesting Date.  Each Restricted Unit that remains eligible to vest following a Change in Control pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be referred to as a “Vesting-Eligible Unit.”  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each Vesting-Eligible Unit shall be converted into an amount in cash equal to the Market Value of the consideration payable in the Change in Control in respect of each such Vesting-Eligible Unit, and such consideration shall be paid to the Participant promptly following the satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth in this Section C(ii) (i.e., in full on the Vesting Date, or if earlier, upon a Qualifying Termination), and shall automatically be forfeited and shall revert back to the Company if such vesting conditions are not satisfied.

 

D.                                    Forfeiture.

 

(i)                                     Any Restricted Units that have not vested as of the termination of the Management Agreement for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination shall automatically be forfeited and shall revert back to the Company without compensation to the Participant.

 

(ii)                                  Any Performance-Based Units that (x) have not vested as of the earlier of (a) the Vesting Date or (b) the effective date of a Qualifying Termination, or (y) do not become Vesting-Eligible Units upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (i.e., any Performance-Based Units above the target numbers set forth in Sections B(i), B(ii) and B(iii), as applicable), shall automatically be forfeited and shall revert back to the Company without compensation to the Participant.

 

E.                                     Settlement.  Subject to the last sentence of Section C(ii), upon vesting pursuant to Sections A, B, and C, the Company shall deliver to the Participant an amount in cash having a value equal to the aggregate value of a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Units vesting on such date, based on the closing price of the Shares on such settlement date on the principal national securities exchange on which the Shares are traded on such date (or if the Shares are not traded on such date, the immediately preceding trading day), provided that the Participant has satisfied any tax withholding obligations as described in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the last sentence of Section C(ii), each Restricted Unit (including any

 

A-2

 

amount provided for pursuant to Section 1(a) of the Agreement) may, at the election of the Company, be settled in Shares issued pursuant to the Plan (subject to any required delay in issuance as required under the Plan).  To the extent any Shares become deliverable to the Participant hereunder the Participant shall be deemed the beneficial owner of any Share issued upon settlement of a Restricted Unit at the close of business on any settlement date and shall be entitled to any dividend or distribution that has not already been made with respect to such Share if the record date for such dividend or distribution is after the close of business on such settlement date, and the Company shall promptly issue and deliver, unless the Company is using a book entry or similar method pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement (in which case the Company shall upon request promptly issue and deliver upon the Participant’s request), to the Participant a new stock certificate registered in the name of the Participant for any Shares issued upon settlement of Restricted Units and deliver to the Participant such Shares, in each case free of all liens, claims and other encumbrances (other than those created by the Participant).

 

F.                                      Definitions.

 

“Add-On Content” in respect of any IP means all interactive software entertainment products that are ancillary to such IP, either in the form of expansion packs or micro-content and which are not playable separately from such IP, but excluding any Sequel of such IP.

 

“Applicable Vesting Percentage” means (i) with respect to TSR Performance-Based Units, the TSR Vesting Percentage, (ii) with respect to New IP Performance-Based Units, the New IP Vesting Percentage, and (iii) with respect to Major IP Performance-Based Units, the Major IP Vesting Percentage.

 

“Existing IP” means any IP commercially released prior to April 1, 2014 and any products released on or after April 1, 2014 that are derived from or use the branding, environments or characters of such products (e.g., Sequels and subsequent Individual Releases).

 

“Individual Release” means any IP released across any and all gaming platforms and all SKUs released of any IP, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any bundles, anniversary editions or “game of the year” editions of such IP but excluding (i) any Add-On Content in respect of such IP and (ii) any expansion packs that are playable separately from such IP, with each such expansion pack being deemed to be a separate Individual Release.

 

“IP” means any interactive entertainment product.

 

“Major IP” means Existing IP or New IP.

 

“Major IP Vesting Percentage” as of a given date is a function of the Company’s Sell-In Performance or Sales Performance, as applicable, for any Individual Release of Major IP calculated as of such date, determined by reference to the following tables.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Major IP Vesting Percentage shall be determined based on the Company’s Sell-In Performance or Sales Performance, as applicable, with respect to one Individual Release of Major IP.  If multiple Individual Releases of Major IP occur during the relevant measurement period, the Major IP Vesting Percentage shall be determined based on the Individual Release of Major IP (whether Regular Price IP, Reduced Price IP or Other IP) that results in the highest Major IP Vesting Percentage.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall

 

A-3

 

(i) the Company’s Sell-In Performance and/or Sales Performance with respect to multiple Individual Releases of Major IP or (ii) the Major IP Vesting Percentages attributable to multiple Individual Releases of Major IP, be aggregated for purposes of  determining the Major IP Vesting Percentage.  By way of example, if, during the relevant measurement period, the Company has an Individual Release of Major IP that is Regular Price IP that results in a Sell-In Performance of 4,000,000 units, as well as an Individual Release of Major IP that is Other IP that results in Sales Performance of $150,000,000, the Major IP Vesting Percentage will be 100% (i.e., the highest Major IP Vesting Percentage attributable to an Individual Release of Major IP).

 

(x)                                 For any Individual Release of Major IP that is Regular Price IP:

 

	
Major IP Sell-In Performance
    	
 
    	
Major IP Vesting Percentage
    
	
Less than 4,000,000 units

100%
    
	
6,000,000 units
    	
 
    	
200%
    

 

In the event that the Major IP Sell-In Performance is less than 4,000,000 units, the Major IP Vesting Percentage shall be zero percent (0%).  In the event that the Major IP Sell-In Performance falls between any of the values listed in the table above, the Major IP Vesting Percentage shall be based on a straight line interpolation between such two values.

 

(y)                                 For any Individual Release of Major IP that is Reduced Price IP:

 

	
Major IP Sell-In Performance
    	
 
    	
Major IP Vesting Percentage
    
	
Less than Reduced Price   Major IP Minimum Number
    	
 
    	
0%
    
	
Reduced Price Major IP   Minimum Number
    	
 
    	
50%
    
	
Reduced Price Major IP   Target Number
    	
 
    	
100%
    
	
Reduced Price Major IP   Maximum Number
    	
 
    	
200%
    

 

In the event that the Major IP Sell-In Performance is less than the Reduced Price Major IP Minimum Number, the Major IP Vesting Percentage shall be zero percent (0%).  In the event that the Major IP Sell-In Performance falls between any of the values listed in the table above, the Major IP Vesting Percentage shall be based on a straight line interpolation between such two values.

 

(z)                                  For any Individual Release of Major IP that is Other IP:

Less than $120,000,000

falls between any of the values listed in the table above, the Major IP Vesting Percentage shall be based on a straight line interpolation between such two values.

 

“Measurement Price” as of a given date means the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock or the common stock of a Peer Group company, as applicable, for each of the 30 trading days ending on (and including) such date.

 

“New IP” means any IP commercially released on or after April 1, 2014 that is not Existing IP.  Sequels and subsequent Individual Releases of New IP occurring after April 1, 2014 shall qualify as New IP for purposes of this Agreement.

 

“New IP Vesting Percentage” as of a given date is a function of the Company’s Sell-In Performance or Sales Performance, as applicable, for any Individual Release of New IP calculated as of such date, determined by reference to the following tables.  For the avoidance of doubt, the New IP Vesting Percentage shall be determined based on the Company’s Sell-In Performance or Sales Performance, as applicable, with respect to one Individual Release of New IP.  If multiple Individual Releases of New IP occur during the relevant measurement period, the New IP Vesting Percentage shall be determined based on the Individual Release of New IP (whether Regular Price IP, Reduced Price IP, or Other IP) that results in the highest New IP Vesting Percentage.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the Company’s Sell-In Performance and/or Sales Performance with respect to multiple Individual Releases of New IP or (ii) the New IP Vesting Percentages attributable to multiple Individual Releases of New IP, be aggregated for purposes of  determining the New IP Vesting Percentage.  By way of example, if, during the relevant measurement period, the Company has an Individual Release of New IP that is Regular Price IP that results in a Sell-In Performance of 2,000,000 units, as well as an Individual Release of New IP that is Other IP that results in Sales Performance of $90,000,000, the New IP Vesting Percentage will be 100% (i.e., the highest New IP Vesting Percentage attributable to an Individual Release of New IP).

 

(x)                                 For any Individual Release of New IP that is Regular Price IP:

In the event that the New IP Sell-In Performance is less than the Reduced Price New IP Minimum Number, the New IP Vesting Percentage shall be zero percent (0%).  In the event that the New IP Sell-In Performance falls between any of the values listed in the table above, the New IP Vesting Percentage shall be based on a straight line interpolation between such two values.

 

(z)                                  For any Individual Release of New IP that is Other IP:

In the event that the New IP Sales Performance is less than $60,000,000, the New IP Vesting Percentage shall be zero percent (0%).  In the event that the New IP Sales Performance falls between any of the values listed in the table above, the New IP Vesting Percentage shall be based on a straight line interpolation between such two values.

 

“Other IP” means any IP that is not Reduced Price IP or Regular Price IP, which has a primary business model of not charging for the basic release and is meant to create revenue based on follow-on transactions as the primary business model.

 

The “Peer Group” shall consist of the companies that comprise The NASDAQ Composite Index on March 31, 2017; provided, that (i) subject to clause (ii) below, if a member of the Peer Group ceases to be publicly traded for any reason following March 31, 2017 and prior to the applicable date on which the Measurement Price is calculated, that member of the Peer Group shall be deleted as a member of the Peer Group and shall not be counted for purposes of the TSR Vesting Percentage and related calculations and (ii) if a member of the Peer Group becomes bankrupt following March 31, 2017 and prior to the applicable date on which the Measurement Price is calculated, that member of the Peer Group shall remain a member of the Peer Group and shall be attributed a Total Shareholder Return of -100% for purposes the TSR Vesting Percentage and related calculations.

 

The “Percentile Rank” of the Company’s Total Shareholder Return is defined as the percentage of the Peer Group companies’ returns falling at or below the Company’s Total Shareholder Return.  The formula for calculating the Percentile Rank is as follows:

 

Percentile Rank = (N - R + 1) ÷ N × 100

 

Where:

 

N =           total number of companies in the Peer Group

 

A-6

 

R =           the numeric rank of the Company’s Total Shareholder Return relative to the Peer Group, where the highest Total Shareholder Return in the Peer Group is ranked number 1

 

The Percentile Rank shall be rounded to the nearest whole percentage, with (0.5) rounded up.

 

To illustrate, if the Company’s Total Shareholder Return is the 25th highest in a Peer Group comprised of 100 companies, its Percentile Rank would be 76.  The calculation is (100 - 25 + 1) ÷ 100 × 100 = 76.

 

The “Port” of an IP means a substantially similar version of such IP developed to operate on a platform other than the platform for which such IP had theretofore been developed to operate.

“Reduced Price Major IP Maximum Number” means, for any Individual Release of Reduced Price Major IP, a number of units equal to the product of (i) 6,000,000 and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is 29.99 and the denominator of which is the numeric value of the original wholesale price in the United States per unit.

 

“Reduced Price Major IP Minimum Number” means, for any Individual Release of Reduced Price Major IP, a number of units equal to the product of (i) 4,000,000 and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is 29.99 and the denominator of which is the numeric value of the original wholesale price in the United States per unit.

 

“Reduced Price New IP Maximum Number” means, for any Individual Release of Reduced Price New IP, a number of units equal to the product of (i) 4,000,000 and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is 29.99 and the denominator of which is the numeric value of the original wholesale price in the United States per unit.

 

“Reduced Price New IP Minimum Number” means, for any Individual Release of Reduced Price New IP, a number of units equal to the product of (i) 2,000,000 and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is 29.99 and the denominator of which is the numeric value of the original wholesale price in the United States per unit.
