A. Titus, Fargo and Interplay were parties to that certain Stockholders
Agreement dated as of November 2, 1999 (the "STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT"), pursuant

the Stockholders Agreement.

B. The Stockholders Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms.

C. Caen is also an executive officer and Director of Titus, a significant

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements
contained herein, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties
agree as follows:

1. COVENANTS OF INTERPLAY.

1.1 Interplay and Fargo agree that, to their current actual knowledge, the form
of Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D (the "13D AMENDMENT") filed by Titus, a
copy of which is attached as ATTACHMENT A hereto, is true and accurate in all
respects.

1.2 Interplay and Fargo each agree and covenant never to file a lawsuit,
arbitration proceeding or any other administrative proceeding against any Caen
or Titus, or any of their respective affiliates or agents for any causes of
action, claims, actions, rights, or remedies arising out of or from (i) any
inaccuracies in, omissions from, or any delays in filing of, the 13D Amendment,
or (ii) asserting any fact that if true would render the 13D Amendment untrue or
misleading in any material respect.

1.3 Interplay shall call, upon no less than 40 days' notice to all stockholders,
and hold its annual meeting of its stockholders (the "ANNUAL MEETING") by August
15, 2001 for the purpose of electing all of its directors and for such other

1.4 Interplay represents and warrants that this Agreement constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of Interplay and is enforceable against Interplay
in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement is limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally. All corporate acts and proceedings required for the
valid authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
performance of this Agreement have been lawfully and validly taken.

1.5 Interplay and Fargo each agree that they will not during the period
commencing on the date hereof and ending at the close of business on the date of
the Annual Meeting, amend the Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation of
Interplay or take any action the effect or purpose of which would be to amend
the Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation of Interplay.

2. COVENANTS BY CAEN AND TITUS.

2.1 Caen agrees not to deliver notice of any stockholders meeting prior to June
1, 2001.

2.2 Titus represents and warrants that this Agreement constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of Titus and is enforceable against Titus in

generally. All corporate acts and proceedings required for the valid
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of
this Agreement have been lawfully and validly taken.

3. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be
impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the Parties
fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them and that in
the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Party will be irreparably damaged
and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such Party shall, therefore, be
entitled to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such
obligations, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the
provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense
that there is an adequate remedy at law.

4.3 ASSIGNMENT. No party may assign this Agreement, and any attempted or

arising under this Agreement to any third party or entity shall be deemed to be
null and void, and shall constitute a material breach by such party of its

4.4 WAIVER AND AMENDMENT. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless in

shall not be considered or referred to in resolving questions of interpretation
of this Agreement.

constitute one and the same instrument.

4.9  COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any action, suit, arbitration or other
proceeding is instituted to remedy, prevent or obtain relief from a default in
the performance by any party to this Agreement of its obligations under this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall recover all of such party's attorneys'
fees incurred in each and every such action, suit, arbitration or other
proceeding, including any and all appeals or petitions therefrom. As used in
this Section, attorneys' fees shall be deemed to mean the full and actual costs
of any legal services actually performed in connection with the matters involved
calculated on the basis of the usual fee charged by the attorney performing such
services and shall not be limited to "reasonable attorneys' fees" as defined in
any statute or rule of court.

4.10 JUDICIAL INTERPRETATION. Should any provision of this Agreement require
judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing
the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more
strictly construed against any person by reason of the rule of construction that
a document is to be construed more strictly against the person who itself or
through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have
participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

4.11 FORCE MAJEURE. If any party to this Agreement is delayed in the performance
of any of its obligations under this Agreement or is prevented from performing
any such obligations due to causes or events beyond its control, including,

Interplay shall, however, be responsible for actual Returns, which amounts shall
be determined on a monthly basis during the Term and credited against any
payments thereafter due to Interplay under the Original Agreement if during the
term of this Agreement, and paid by Interplay to Virgin upon demand if such
amount exists at or after termination of the Original Agreement.

     5.  Payments by the Parties.
         -----------------------

         5.1  By Virgin.  Section 1 of Exhibit B to the Original Agreement is

hereby amended to provide that all payments to be made by Virgin to Interplay
pursuant to Section 1 of Exhibit B shall be paid within [*] after the end of the

invoiced by Virgin to its customers. If Virgin fails to pay any amounts due
under this Section 1 when due, Interplay may withhold such amounts from payments
due under Section 2 of Exhibit B for the duration of such non-payment by Virgin.

         5.2  By Interplay.  Section 2 of Exhibit B to the Original Agreement is
              ------------
hereby amended to provide that, in lieu of Virgin deducting the amounts provided

immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, if Virgin is required to pay any
amount set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit B before the [*] period referred to
above, Interplay shall pay Virgin such amount on or before the day such invoice
is payable by Virgin. If Interplay fails to pay any amounts when due, Virgin may
withhold such amounts from the payments due Interplay under Section 1 of Exhibit
B for the duration of such non-payment by Interplay.

     6.  Console Products.  Section 5(k)(C) of the Original Agreement is hereby
         ----------------
amended to provide that, with respect to Products on video game console systems
(e.g., PlayStation, N64, Dreamcast), Interplay shall be responsible for ordering
the Products from the system licensor and the payment of the cost of goods and
royalties to such system licensors.  Interplay shall not have any right to
utilize Virgin's line of credit with any of the system licensors to facilitate
ordering Products from such system licensors.  If requested by Interplay, Virgin
shall have the right, at its option (and without the obligation to do so), to
order Products on video game console systems from the system licensors and pay
any amounts to the system licensors agreed to by Interplay and Virgin, and
otherwise arrange for the production and delivery of such Products to Virgin's
facilities.  If Virgin orders such Products at Interplay's request, Virgin shall
have the right to set off against any amounts due Interplay by Virgin the full
cost and expense incurred by Virgin in connection with the order by Virgin of
such console Products, including, without limitation, any cost of goods and
royalties paid to such system licensors and all shipping costs, taxes and other
amounts incurred in the delivery of such Products to Virgin.

     7.  Miscellaneous.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all of
         -------------
the terms of the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California applicable to contracts made in, and to be performed within,
said state.
