                          INTERPLAY ENTERTAINMENT CORP.

<PAGE>

                            ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         This ASSET PURCHASE  AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is entered into as of
April 4, 2007 (the "EFFECTIVE Date") between BETHESDA  SOFTWORKS LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the "PURCHASER"),  and INTERPLAY ENTERTAINMENT CORP.,
a Delaware  corporation  (the  "SELLER").  Purchaser  and  Seller are  sometimes
referred to herein individually as a "PARTY" and collectively as the "PARTIES."

                                    RECITALS:

         A. On June 29,  2004,  Seller and  Purchaser  entered into an Exclusive
Licensing Agreement, amended August 19, 2004 (as amended to date, the "EXCLUSIVE
LICENSING   AGREEMENT"),   whereby  Purchaser  acquired  exclusive,   worldwide,
perpetual unrestricted intellectual property rights in and to all future uses of
every kind to the brand and interactive entertainment software property known as
"FALLOUT" and to the "FALLOUT"  trademark,  to the extent expressly provided for
under  the  Exclusive  Licensing  Agreement.  Through  and  as a  result  of the
Exclusive Licensing  Agreement,  Purchaser has the unfettered right,  subject to
license royalties, to use and exploit the Fallout Intellectual Property (defined
below) and is prepared to purchase actual legal  ownership of all right,  title,
and  interest  in and to the  Fallout  Intellectual  Property  and in the  other
Acquired Assets (defined below).

         B. The Seller and Purchaser entered into arms' length  negotiations for
the sale of the Fallout Intellectual  Property which would eliminate risk to the
Seller concerning the timing and amount of any royalties,  if any, to be paid in
the future under the Exclusive Licensing  Agreement,  and provide the Seller the
fair value of the Fallout Intellectual Property to the extent Purchaser does not
already effectively have it under the Exclusive Licensing  Agreement,  and would
eliminate Purchaser's potential future royalty obligations to the Seller.

         C. On November 1, 2006, while the  negotiations  between the Seller and
Purchaser  were  ongoing,   four  petitioning  creditors  filed  an  involuntary
bankruptcy  petition under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code (the "BANKRUPTCY CODE") against Seller (the "INVOLUNTARY  PETITION") in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California,  Case No.
06-11994 TA (the "BANKRUPTCY  CASE"),  and on November 30, 2006, Seller answered
the  Involuntary  Petition in the Bankruptcy Case by filing an Answer of Alleged
Debtor To Involuntary Petition seeking to dismiss the Bankruptcy Case.

         D. The Seller desires,  based on the fair value of the Acquired Assets,
to monetize  the  benefit of its  bargain  with  Purchaser  under the  Exclusive
Licensing  Agreement by converting the possibility of contingent future payments
from  Purchaser  into  certain  amounts to be paid to the Seller by Purchaser as
provided in this Agreement.  Seller  recognizes the  uncertainties  of receiving
further  advances  and/or future game  royalties  under the Exclusive  Licensing
Agreement,  and Purchaser is willing to acquire from Seller,  as permitted under
Sections 303(f) and 549(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, all right, title and interest
in such Acquired Assets, for the cash consideration  described herein, which the
Parties agree represent the fair value of the Acquired Assets.

         E. Purchaser and Seller enter into this Agreement in good faith and for
bona fide business reasons and purposes.

                                   AGREEMENT:

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants
and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

         any kind exist or have arisen with respect to  Purchaser's  clear title
         and ownership of the Acquired Assets,  and (iv) the Seller then remains
         in compliance  with all of its covenants  under this  Agreement and all
         related   agreements.   If  such  conditions  are  met  to  Purchaser's
         satisfaction,  then the  Purchaser  shall  deliver  ONE  MILLION  SEVEN
         HUNDRED  FIFTY   THOUSAND  AND  00/100   DOLLARS   ($1,750,000.00)   in

         specified  on  the  Payment   Schedule   attached  hereto  (the  "THIRD
         INSTALLMENT").  Whether  or not the  contingent  Third  Installment  is
         earned,  paid or  released,  if at any  time  any  Encumbrances  or any
         challenges  to  Purchaser's  clear  title and  ownership  of any of the
         Acquired  Assets  arise after the Third  Installment  Date,  the Seller
         shall take immediate action to resolve and fully discharge and cause to
         be released any and all such Encumbrances  and/or challenges and ensure
         to  Purchaser's   satisfaction   that  there  are  no  Encumbrances  on
         Purchaser's  clear title to and unencumbered  ownership of the Acquired
         Assets.

         2.8  EXCLUSIVE  LICENSING  AGREEMENT.   Effective   automatically  upon
Closing,  Purchaser shall have no obligations to pay any consideration under the
Exclusive  Licensing  Agreement,  and the Exclusive Licensing Agreement shall be
deemed  superseded by this  Agreement and in the event of a conflict of meaning,
the  terms  of this  Agreement  shall  control;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that if in
connection  with or as the result of any bankruptcy  proceeding or  liquidation,
dissolution,  or in connection with any other insolvency proceeding,  fraudulent
conveyance claim, or other claim or action, any court,  bankruptcy  trustee,  or
other applicable Person causes this Agreement and the transactions  hereunder to
be voided,  nullified,  or otherwise  unwound or overturned for any reason under
federal or state law, then  notwithstanding  anything herein or otherwise to the
contrary, (x) all of Purchaser's licenses, rights and other privileges under the
Exclusive Licensing  Agreement  automatically shall be reinstated and deemed for
all  purposes  to have  remained  in full  force and effect and not to have been
superseded or otherwise  impacted in any way by this Agreement,  and (y) any and
all payments made under this Agreement  automatically  shall be deemed to be and
constitute  royalty  payments  that may become due and payable to the Seller and
advance  payments  recoverable  against  and  applied  to any  and  all  payment
obligations  of  Purchaser  to the  Seller  in  accordance  with  the  Exclusive
Licensing Agreement.  With respect to such advance payments,  Purchaser shall be
deemed  to be and  constitute  a secured  creditor  of the  Seller  and shall be
entitled to a first priority lien over all of the Fallout Intellectual  Property
and entitled  hereby to make such security  interest  filings  under  applicable
federal or state law (including but not limited to with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office and Copyright Office and with any and all  corresponding or
similar  bodies  outside of the United  States) with  respect to all  registered
Fallout Intellectual Property as it may deem necessary or appropriate to perfect
such security interests.  Without limiting the foregoing,  any obligation by the
Purchaser to pay  royalties or any other  monies under the  Exclusive  Licensing
Agreement if  reinstated  is void. To the fullest  extent  possible,  the Seller
shall  waive all claims to  royalties  or any other  monies that ever may be due
under the Exclusive  Licensing  Agreement  and hereby  accepts the payments made
under this Agreement to constitute full payment of royalties or other monies due
thereunder.

historically  has  been  used by the  Seller  in  connection  with  the  Fallout
Intellectual  Property. No part of the Purchased  Intellectual Property has been
placed in (or is otherwise  subject to) any escrow  arrangement  of any kind for
the benefit of any third party.

         3.8 NO RESTRICTIONS. Other than under the Exclusive Licensing Agreement
and the Encumbrances  identified in PART 2.7(A) OF THE DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE,  the
Purchased Intellectual Property is free of any and all royalty and other payment
obligations  and  other  Claims  or  Encumbrances   and,  without  limiting  the
generality of the foregoing,  is not subject to any  limitations or restrictions
on Seller's use. There is no Legal Proceeding, order, agreement or other similar
arrangement  that prohibits or restricts the Seller (x) from using the Purchased
Intellectual  Property  or  developing,  licensing,  transferring  or  otherwise
exploiting  any Software,  properties,  or other assets  relating to the Fallout
Intellectual Property anywhere in the world or (y) from any use of the Purchased
Intellectual  Property anywhere in the world (except that this representation is
made only to the Seller's  knowledge  with  respect to Third Party  Intellectual
Property Rights). No Person has any rights in the Fallout Intellectual  Property
or in any of the other  Purchased  Intellectual  Property  that could  cause any
reversion  or renewal of rights in favor of that  Person or  termination  of the
Seller's  or,  following  the  Closing,  the  Purchaser's  rights in the Fallout
Intellectual Property or in any of the other Purchased Intellectual Property.

         3.9 EFFECT OF CLOSING.  Upon and after the Closing,  the Purchaser will
be the sole owner of, and will have valid and marketable title to, the Purchased
Intellectual Property, and will have the full right to use, license and transfer
the  Purchased  Intellectual  Property  in the same manner and on the same terms
that the Seller had immediately prior to the Closing.  The Seller is not legally
bound by any agreements or obligations under which the occurrence of the Closing
would (i)  obligate the Seller or the  Purchaser  to license or otherwise  grant
rights to any other  Person in any Fallout  Intellectual  Property (in any case,
whether owned or used by the Seller or Purchaser),  (ii) entitle any Person to a
release  of any  source  code  escrow,  (iii)  result  in  any  Claim  or  other
Encumbrance on the Purchased Intellectual Property,  (iv) give rise to any right
of any third party to  terminate,  or impair in any material  manner,  any Third
Party  Intellectual  Property  Rights  included  in the  Purchased  Intellectual
Property or otherwise contravene or conflict with Purchaser's right to enjoy the
benefit  of the Third  Party  Intellectual  Property  Rights,  or (v)  otherwise
increase any burdens or decrease any rights relating to the Fallout Intellectual
Property or any of the other  Purchased  Intellectual  Property in any  material
manner.

         3.10  PERFECTION  OF  OWNERSHIP  RIGHTS.  With  respect to the  Fallout
Intellectual Property:

                  (a)  ASSIGNMENTS.   PART  3.10  OF  THE  DISCLOSURE   SCHEDULE
         separately  lists all other  written  assignments,  if any,  Seller has
         obtained to  establish  the  Seller's  ownership  rights in the Fallout
         Intellectual Property.

                  (b)  EFFECT OF  ASSIGNMENTS.  In each case in which the Seller
         has acquired ownership of any material  Intellectual  Property from any
         Person,  other than a license of the Third Party Intellectual  Property
         Rights,  the Seller has  obtained  a valid and  enforceable  assignment
         sufficient  to  irrevocably  transfer  the  applicable  rights  in that
         Intellectual  Property  to the  Seller.  If the Seller has so  acquired
         Registered  Intellectual  Property,  the Seller has,  when  required by
         applicable  law,  duly  recorded  each of  these  assignments  with the
         appropriate  governmental  agency, and listed these assignments in PART
         3.10(B) OF THE DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE.

         with the Registered  Intellectual  Property,  all  registrations are in
         force and all  applications  for the same are pending in good standing,
         and no actions for reissuance,  reexamination or opposition are pending
         or  threatened  with  respect  to any issued  registrations  or pending

         perfect or renew any Registered  Intellectual Property with an official
         office (e.g., patent or trademark office).

         3.12 VALIDITY. All registered copyrights, trademarks, and service marks
(and all applications  related to any of the foregoing)  included in the Fallout
Intellectual  Property are subsisting  and valid under  applicable law for those
respective  categories  of  Intellectual   Property.   There  are  no  facts  or
circumstances  that would  render  any of the  Purchased  Intellectual  Property
invalid  or  unenforceable,   except  that  with  respect  to  the  Third  Party
Intellectual  Property,  this  representation  is  made  only  to  the  Seller's
knowledge.

         3.13 OUTBOUND LICENSES AND RIGHTS. PART 3.13 OF THE DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE

granted rights in any of the Purchased Intellectual Property to any Person. PART
3.13 OF THE  DISCLOSURE  SCHEDULE  also lists  separately  any of the  following
related to the Fallout Intellectual  Property:  (i) any exclusive rights granted
to any third  Person;  (ii) any source  code escrow or other form of delivery or

defend or  otherwise  hold  harmless  any other  Person with  respect to Damages
resulting or arising from any of the  Purchased  Intellectual  Property,  except
under those  agreements  summarized or described in PART 3.14 OF THE  DISCLOSURE
SCHEDULE.

         3.15 NO  VIOLATION  OF THE  SELLER'S  RIGHTS.  To the  knowledge of the
Seller,  no  Person  has  infringed  or  misappropriated   any  of  the  Fallout
Intellectual  Property,   except  for  fan  websites,   blogs  and  other  sites
referencing  nominally  one of the FALLOUT  games without the consent of Seller.
Immediately  after the  Closing  (subject  to making any  filings  necessary  to
perfect  rights),  the  Purchaser  will have sole  rights to bring  actions  for
infringement  or  misappropriation  of the Fallout  Intellectual  Property.  The
Seller has not commenced or  threatened  any Legal  Proceeding,  or asserted any
allegation or claim,  against any Person for infringement or misappropriation of
the Purchased  Intellectual  Property or breach of any  agreement  involving the
Purchased  Intellectual  Property,  except  as  indicated  in  PART  3.15 OF THE
DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE.

         3.16 NO VIOLATION OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.  The Seller's  creation,  use,
sale, license, or other transfer of the Purchased Intellectual Property does not
infringe or misappropriate any other Person's  Intellectual Property and, to the
Seller's  knowledge,  after  the  Closing,  Purchaser's  use  of  the  Purchased

no basis for any such actual or threatened Legal Proceeding, claim or allegation
exists.  There are no pending or threatened  disputes between the Seller and

                                       8

         4.1  SURVIVAL  OF   OBLIGATIONS.   All   representations,   warranties,
covenants,  and obligations of the Parties contained in this Agreement or in any
of the  Ancillary  Agreements  shall,  except as otherwise  expressly  set forth

full force and effect following the Closing Date.

         4.2 INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) The Seller agrees to  indemnify,  defend and hold harmless
         the Purchaser and all of the Purchaser's Affiliates,  and each of their
         respective parents, stockholders,  members, directors, officers, agents
         and employees  (collectively,  the "INDEMNITEES")  from and against any
         action  brought  against  any of the  Indemnitees  with  respect to any
         claim,  demand,  cause of  action,  Liability,  Claim  or  Encumbrance,
         including,    without    limitation,    reasonable    attorneys'   fees
         (collectively, "LOSSES"), to the extent (x) such Losses are based upon,
         connected  with,  or arise  out of (x) any  actual or  alleged  breach,
         violation,  or  contravention  of,  or  inaccuracy  in, in each case as
         applicable, any of the Seller's representations, warranties, covenants,
         agreements,  or  undertakings  in or under this  Agreement,  any of the
         Ancillary Agreements, or any certificate,  exhibit, annex, or schedule;
         or (y) any Excluded Liabilities.

                  (b) With respect to the Seller's  indemnification  obligations
         hereunder,  each  party  agrees  to:  (i) give the other  party  prompt

         first party is seeking  indemnity;  and (ii) reasonably  cooperate with
         the other party with respect to the defense of the action.  A party may
         participate,  at its own cost,  in the defense and  settlement  of such

         any such  action  in a manner  that  adversely  affects  the  rights of
         Purchaser or any of the Indemnitees,  without Purchaser's express prior
         written consent.

                  (c) No  Indemnitee  (other  than the  Purchaser)  may make any
         claim for  indemnification  hereunder without the prior approval of the
         Purchaser,  in its sole discretion.  The  representations,  warranties,
         covenants,  and  obligations  of the  Seller on the one  hand,  and the

         Indemnitee on the other hand, will not be limited or otherwise affected
         by  or  as  a  result  of,  any   information   furnished  to,  or  any
         investigation   made  by  or  knowledge  of,  such  Indemnitee  or  any
         Indemnitee's  representatives or agents. The  indemnification  remedies
         (and all other remedies  available to Purchaser and the  Indemnitees at
         law or in equity) contained in this Agreement shall be non-exclusive.

                  (d) In  addition  to any  rights  of  offset  or  setoff  that
         Purchaser  may have at common  law or  otherwise,  any  indemnification
         obligations   hereunder  of  the  Seller  to  Purchaser  or  any  other
         Indemnitee  may,  in the sole  discretion  of  Purchaser,  be offset or
         setoff by Purchaser  against (x) any other amount otherwise  payable to
         the Seller or any of the Seller's  Affiliates  by Purchaser  under this
         Agreement,  any Ancillary Agreement, or any other agreement between the
         Seller and Purchaser or (y) any other monetary  obligation of Purchaser
         to the Seller or any of the Seller's Affiliates.

         5.1  FURTHER  ASSURANCES.  In  addition  to  the  Seller's  obligations
elsewhere   herein,   following  the  Closing,   the  Seller,   without  further
consideration  of any kind,  shall execute and deliver,  or cause to be executed
and  delivered,  such other  instruments,  and take, or cause to be taken,  such
other action, as shall reasonably be requested by Purchaser or its Affiliates to
effectively  carry  out  the  other  terms  and  provisions  of  this  Agreement
benefiting the Purchaser  including,  without  limitation,  all  instruments and
actions necessary to remove, satisfy,  discharge and release any Encumbrances or
challenges  relating to the Acquired Assets as required in this Agreement and to
ensure that Purchaser has clear title to and  unencumbered  ownership of all the
Acquired  Assets.  Seller  shall use its best  efforts to assist  Purchaser  and
Purchaser's  Affiliates  in  effecting  a smooth  transition  in  ownership  and
operation of the Acquired Assets after the Closing Date,  without any obligation
by Seller  to make  payments  to any party in  connection  with  providing  such
assistance.

Intellectual  Property  and any other  relevant  documents,  if any, in Seller's
possession  that  relate  to  obtaining  or  maintaining  any of  the  Purchased
Intellectual Property.

         5.4 ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS UNDER EMPLOYEE AGREEMENTS. In order to protect
Purchaser's  interest in the Acquired  Assets and under this  Agreement  and the
Ancillary Agreements, Seller hereby (x) sells, assigns, transfers and conveys to
Purchaser  all rights of Seller  under and to  enforce  the terms of any and all
third  party  confidentiality   undertakings  and  any  and  all  IP  assignment
obligations,  solely as they relate to or are connected with the Acquired Assets
or the Purchased  Intellectual  Property,  and (y) agrees to assist Purchaser in
any reasonable efforts to enforce such agreements, obligations, arrangements.

         5.6 HOLD HARMLESS.  Seller  covenants and agrees that it will (and that
it will  cause the other  members  of the  Seller  Group  to)  promptly  pay and
discharge,  as they become due and payable,  and promptly  perform in accordance
with their respective terms, all and each of the Excluded Liabilities,  it being
expressly  understood  and agreed that  Purchaser is assuming no  liabilities or
obligations  of Seller or other  members  of the  Seller  Group  other  than the
Assumed  Liabilities  identified  herein and in the Instrument of Assignment and
Assumption.

         5.7  CONFIRMING  EFFECTIVE  DELIVERY  OF  THE  PURCHASED   INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY.  Without  limitation  to the Seller's  obligations  under SECTION 5.1,
promptly after being  requested to do so by the Purchaser  either in preparation
for the Closing (in which case the Purchaser  agrees to hold items  delivered by
the Seller  solely for  delivery  pursuant  to the Closing or return them to the
Seller if the Closing does not occur) or after the Closing,  or both, the Seller
will:

                  (a) TITLE.  Sign and deliver and have  notarized all documents
         and instruments, and take all other actions required by this Agreement,
         for the purpose of (i) correcting or confirming  title to the Purchased

         and/or  (ii)   enabling   the   Purchaser  to  file   applications   or

         agency,  filing or maintenance of  applications  or  registrations,  or
         other  actions  before  or  with  any  governmental  agency  concerning
         Registered   Intellectual  Property  or  other  Purchased  Intellectual
         Property for any actions that are within the scope of SECTION 5.1.

         5.8  CONFIDENTIALITY.  The  Seller  will  keep  confidential  and  not,
directly  or  indirectly,  disclose to anyone or use or  misappropriate  for the
Seller's own benefit or for the benefit or any other person, (a) all

<PAGE>

trade secrets and other non-public  information or documents  included within or
relating  to  the  Purchased  Intellectual  Property,  and  (b)  any  non-public
information  about the  Purchaser  that the  Seller or its  representatives  may
obtain or may have obtained in the course of the  transactions  contemplated  by
this  Agreement.  The Seller agrees not to make any such  information  public or
otherwise  act or omit to act in a manner that would  reasonably  be expected to
impair in any  material  respect the intended  benefits of this  covenant to the
Purchaser.  This  covenant is in addition to, and does not limit,  the rights of
the Purchaser as the purchaser and owner of the Purchased  Intellectual Property
as of the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  this SECTION 5.8 shall
not restrict Seller from  maintaining any records or making any disclosures that
may be  required  and  mandated by  applicable  law or  governmental  authority,
provided,  however,  that prior to making any such disclosures,  the Seller will
provide  reasonable  advance  notice to Purchaser  so as to permit  Purchaser to
review the  proposed  form and  contents of such  disclosure  and, to the extent
deemed  appropriate  by  Purchaser,  to allow  Purchaser to seek an  appropriate
protective  order to  prevent  or limit  such  disclosure.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing, this Agreement may be described in or filed with any required federal
securities filings of Seller.

         5.9 PROHIBITION ON FUTURE FILINGS AND REGISTRATIONS.  Nothing contained
in this  Agreement  shall be construed as providing the Seller with any retained
right, title, or other interest of any kind in or to any of the Acquired Assets.

all rights therein and all goodwill  pertaining  thereto solely and  exclusively
belong to Purchaser  effective  automatically upon the Closing and that all uses
of the Purchased  Intellectual Property shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser.

any other agreements,  Seller agrees (x) not to directly or indirectly attack or
impair the title of Purchaser to the any of the Purchased Intellectual Property,
the  validity  of  this  Agreement,  or any of  Purchaser's  current  or  future
registrations  or  applications  relating to any of the  Purchased  Intellectual
Property (or any derivates thereof) in any jurisdiction; and (y) not to file any
