3. Personnel.

(i) ZelnickMedia shall provide and devote to the performance of this Agreement such employees, agents and representatives of ZelnickMedia, and for such time, as ZelnickMedia shall deem appropriate for the furnishing of the services required hereunder. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that in the performance of its duties hereunder, subject to Section 3(ii) below, ZelnickMedia shall make available the following individuals to provide the described services:

(A) during the term of this Agreement, Strauss Zelnick shall serve as the Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and shall devote a sufficient amount of his business time to the performance of his duties during the term of this Agreement, consistent with past practice;

(B) Karl Slatoff shall serve as President of the Company pursuant to the employment agreement by and between the Company and Mr. Slatoff, dated as of February 14, 2008, and as amended from time to time by mutual agreement of the Company and Mr. Slatoff; and

(C) other ZelnickMedia personnel, as appropriate, shall provide services and serve as consultants to the Company on a project-by-project, as-needed basis.

(ii) In the event that Mr. Zelnick, Mr. Slatoff or any other employee of ZelnickMedia acting in an executive capacity for the Company is unable or unavailable to serve in the applicable capacities set forth in Section 3(i) above, ZelnickMedia shall provide a qualified individual to serve in such capacity, who must be reasonably satisfactory to the Board. If ZelnickMedia does not provide a qualified replacement reasonably acceptable to the Board within a reasonable period of time, the Company may fill such position with a person not affiliated with ZelnickMedia and deduct the costs of such person’s compensation (including cash and equity compensation) from ZelnickMedia’s compensation under this Agreement; provided, however, that such costs shall not be deducted from ZelnickMedia’s compensation hereunder if Mr. Zelnick, Mr. Slatoff or such other employee of ZelnickMedia, as applicable, is terminated by the Company without Cause or resigns for Good Reason (in the case of Mr. Zelnick, each as defined in Section 8 of this Agreement, or, in the case of Mr. Slatoff or any other employee of ZelnickMedia, each as defined in such person’s employment or consulting agreement with the Company); provided further, however, that (A) in no event shall any termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by an individual for Good Reason caused by any action or inaction taken not in good faith by ZelnickMedia, Mr. Zelnick, Mr. Slatoff or any other individual appointed by ZelnickMedia pursuant to Section 3(i) for the purpose of giving rise to such a termination by the Company without Cause or a resignation by an individual for Good Reason, be deemed a termination of such individual’s employment by the Company without Cause or a resignation by such individual for Good Reason, as applicable, in either case for purposes of this Section 3(ii), and (B) no more than 60% of the cash and equity compensation payable to ZelnickMedia hereunder shall be deducted if the Company replaces Mr. Zelnick in accordance with this Section 3(ii) and no more than 40% of the cash and equity compensation payable to ZelnickMedia hereunder shall be deducted if the Company replaces Mr. Slatoff in accordance with this Section 3(ii). The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) shall reasonably and in good faith determine the value of the equity awarded to such replacement person and the appropriate deductions from the cash and equity compensation payable to ZelnickMedia (including the Management Fee and Annual Bonus and the equity awards pursuant to Section 6 below); provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 8 or Section 24 hereof, in no event shall ZelnickMedia be required to forfeit any cash compensation paid to ZelnickMedia or any vested equity awards, whether granted pursuant to Section 6 below or otherwise.

4. Management Fee. In consideration for the services to be provided by ZelnickMedia hereunder, the Company shall, commencing on the Effective Date, pay to ZelnickMedia a management fee of $3,100,000 per annum during the term of this Agreement (the “Management Fee”) payable on the first day of each month during the term of this

Agreement in equal monthly installments of $258,333.33 in immediately available funds. The Management Fee shall not be decreased during the term of this Agreement.

5. Annual Bonus. In addition to the Management Fee, ZelnickMedia shall have an annual bonus opportunity subject to performance goals (the “Annual Bonus”) for each of the fiscal years of the Company ending March 31, 2018 (“Fiscal 2018”), March 31, 2019, March 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 (each, an “Applicable Fiscal Year” and collectively the “Applicable Fiscal Years”). The target annual bonus opportunity for each Applicable Fiscal Year (other than for the 2017 Portion of Fiscal 2018 (as defined below)) has been set at 120% of the Management Fee, or $3,720,000 per annum (the “Target Bonus Amount”). With respect to Fiscal 2018, the Annual Bonus for the period from April 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Portion of Fiscal 2018”) will be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 5 of the 2014 Agreement (i.e., based on 75% of $2,376,000), and the Annual Bonus for the period from January 1, 2018 to March 31, 2018 will be determined in accordance with this Section 5 (i.e., based on 25% of the Target Bonus Amount), in each case, based on Fiscal 2018 performance. The actual amount of the Annual Bonus shall be determined reasonably and in good faith by the Committee with respect to each Applicable Fiscal Year subject to the terms set forth herein, and shall be paid within the 15-day period immediately following the Company’s receipt of its audited financial statements for the Applicable Fiscal Year, but in all events in the fiscal year immediately following the Applicable Fiscal Year to which the Annual Bonus relates and within seventy-five (75) days following the end of the Applicable Fiscal Year, as follows:

(i) In the event actual results in an Applicable Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) are less than 80% of the Target (as defined below), the Annual Bonus shall be zero.

(ii) In the event actual results in an Applicable Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) are equal to or greater than 80% of the Target but less than 100% of the Target, the Annual Bonus shall be between zero and the Target Bonus Amount, pro-rated on a straight-line basis between such amounts based upon the actual percentage of the Target achieved.

(iii) In the event actual results in an Applicable Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) are equal to or greater than 100% of the Target but less than 120% of the Target, the Annual Bonus shall be between the Target Bonus Amount and $5,314,286 (the “120% Bonus Amount”), prorated on a straight-line basis between the Target Bonus Amount and the 120% Bonus Amount based upon the actual percentage of the Target achieved.

(iv) In the event actual results in an Applicable Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) are equal to or greater than 120% of the Target but less than 150% of the Target, the Annual Bonus shall be between the 120% Bonus Amount and $7,440,000 (the “Maximum Bonus Amount”), prorated on a straight-line basis between 120% Bonus Amount and the Maximum Bonus Amount based upon the actual percentage of the Target achieved.

(v) In the event actual results in an Applicable Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) are equal to or greater than 150% of the Target, the Annual Bonus shall be the Maximum Bonus Amount.

For illustration, the following table sets forth the amount of Annual Bonus that would be payable to ZelnickMedia for each 10% increment of achievement of the Target:

Percentage of Target Obtained	Amount of Annual Bonus
80%	Zero
90%	$	1,860,000
100%	$	3,720,000
110%	$	4,517,143
120%	$	5,314,286
130%	$	6,022,857
140%	$	6,731,429
150%	$	7,440,000

The term “Target” shall mean budgeted adjusted EBITDA of the Company (or other measurement of financial performance reasonably determined by the members of the Board (excluding any member of the Board who is a shareholder, affiliate, member and/or partner of ZelnickMedia), on the one hand, and ZelnickMedia, on the other hand, with respect to an Applicable Fiscal Year), determined within 30 days of the beginning of that Applicable Fiscal Year by mutual agreement of the Company and ZelnickMedia, each acting reasonably and in good faith, and measured without giving effect to any payments under this Agreement.

For purposes of this Agreement, if budgeted adjusted EBITDA is used as the Target, the term “EBITDA” shall be calculated consistent with the Company’s past practices and on the same basis as utilized by the Company for other employee compensation purposes; and actual adjusted EBITDA with respect to each Applicable Fiscal Year shall be calculated by the Company acting reasonably and in good faith, after meaningful consultation with ZelnickMedia, in the same manner as the budgeted adjusted EBITDA for such Applicable Fiscal Year.

The Committee shall, acting reasonably and in good faith, after meaningful consultation with ZelnickMedia, make such adjustments to the calculation of actual or budgeted adjusted EBITDA as it deems equitable in the event the circumstances upon which budgeted adjusted EBITDA is initially calculated change during any Applicable Fiscal Year. If requested by the Company, ZelnickMedia shall discuss with the Company in good faith whether any adjustments are necessary for the Annual Bonus and any equity awards granted under the Grant Agreements to achieve beneficial tax treatment for the parties.

6. Company Equity.

(i) Equity Award. On April 13, 2018 (the “Initial Grant Date”), ZelnickMedia (or upon three (3) days prior written notice of ZelnickMedia to the Company, an affiliate or partner of ZelnickMedia that agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 6), shall be entitled to receive that number of time-based restricted units of the Company as is

determined by dividing $8,775,000 by the average of the closing prices of the Company’s common stock for each trading day during the 10 trading day period immediately prior to April 1, 2018 and that number of performance-based restricted units of the Company as is determined by dividing $10,725,000 by the average of the closing prices of the Company’s common stock for each trading day during the 10 trading day period immediately prior to April 1, 2018 (such awards, the “Equity Awards”), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “New Grant Agreement”). The New Grant Agreement, together with (A) any grant agreements entered into with respect to additional grants by the Company in accordance with this Section 6, and (B) the grant agreements relating to the restricted units described in Section 6 of the 2014 Agreement, shall be referred to collectively as the “Grant Agreements.” Following the grant on the Initial Grant Date, additional equity awards may be granted, in amounts determined at the discretion of the Committee in accordance with Section 3 hereof, to ZelnickMedia (or an affiliate or partner thereof in accordance with this Section 6) annually on each anniversary of the Initial Grant Date.

(ii) Stock Ownership Requirement — 6X Management Fee. Until the earlier of (A) March 31, 2024, (B) a Change in Control (as defined below) or (C) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 below, ZelnickMedia shall not, and shall cause each Subject Person (as defined below) to agree in writing not to, sell or otherwise dispose of (other than, upon not less than three (3) days’ prior written notice to the Company, to a Subject Person that agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 6) any shares of the Company’s common stock if, after giving effect to such proposed sale or other disposition, the shares of Company common stock (including options, restricted stock and restricted units, which restricted units will be counted at the target number of shares if subject to performance-based vesting) owned by ZelnickMedia and each Subject Person in the aggregate (collectively, “Applicable Shares”), as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the proposed sale or disposition, would have a Market Value (as defined below) less than six times (6X) the Management Fee; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of ZelnickMedia and/or the Subject Persons to sell or otherwise dispose of that number of shares of common stock of the Company necessary to satisfy any taxes imposed on ZelnickMedia or such Subject Person as a result of the exercise of options, vesting of restricted stock or restricted units, or in connection with the transfer by ZelnickMedia to a Subject Person of any Applicable Shares in accordance with this paragraph.

For purposes of this Agreement, (A) the term “Subject Person” shall mean shareholders, partners, members, employees and other affiliates of ZelnickMedia who hold any Applicable Shares, including any person to whom any Applicable Shares were transferred in accordance with this Section 6(ii) and (B) “Market Value” of a number of shares of the Company’s common stock shall equal the number of shares of common stock multiplied by the average of the closing prices of the Company’s common stock for each trading day during the 10 trading day period ending on the day as of which Market Value is being determined (which, in the case of a sale or other disposition, shall be the trading day immediately preceding the date of such sale or other disposition).

(iii) Securities Trading Policy. ZelnickMedia hereby acknowledges the Company’s “Securities Trading Policy” (as in effect from time to time, the “Trading Policy”)

and shall, and shall cause its Subject Persons who own Applicable Shares, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its employees (including by making compliance a condition to the employees’ continued employment), to comply at all times with the Trading Policy as if such Persons (as defined below) were executive officers of the Company under the terms of the Trading Policy.

(iv) Allocation of Compensation. In order to ensure that the persons providing services under this Agreement are properly incentivized, ZelnickMedia covenants and agrees that the aggregate compensation payable to ZelnickMedia or any person providing services on its behalf hereunder (whether in the form of Management Fee, Annual Bonus or Equity Awards) shall only be paid, payable or otherwise conveyed (directly or indirectly), whether by the Company, ZelnickMedia or otherwise, such that (A) no more than 60% of such aggregate compensation shall be received by or conveyed to Mr. Zelnick (or such other employee of ZelnickMedia that serves as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company in accordance with Section 3(ii)) and (B) no more than 40% of such aggregate compensation shall be received by or conveyed to Mr. Slatoff (or such other employee of ZelnickMedia that serves as President of the Company in accordance with Section 3(ii)).

7. Expenses. The Company shall (i) promptly reimburse ZelnickMedia for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses as have been or may be incurred (before or after the date of this Agreement) by ZelnickMedia, its partners, shareholders, members, officers, employees, affiliates, counsel, agents and representatives in connection with ZelnickMedia’s engagement hereunder and the rendering of services hereunder (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement and fees and expenses incurred in attending Company-related meetings) and (ii) reimburse ZelnickMedia for all travel expenses in accordance with the Company’s “Travel and Entertainment Policy”. The Company shall reimburse ZelnickMedia for all reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees incurred by ZelnickMedia in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement as soon as practicable after the date hereof.

8. Term. This Agreement will continue from the Effective Date through March 31, 2024 (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated by either ZelnickMedia or the Company in accordance with this Section 8. This Agreement may be terminated immediately by the Company for Cause (as defined below) or by ZelnickMedia for Good Reason (as defined below), and may be terminated by the Company without Cause or by ZelnickMedia without Good Reason, in each case upon 30 days’ written notice (which requirement for written notice will be waived following a Change in Control). If this Agreement is terminated by the Company or ZelnickMedia prior to March 31, 2024, ZelnickMedia will be entitled to the following: (a) if this Agreement is terminated by the Company for Cause or by ZelnickMedia without Good Reason, all unvested equity granted under the Grant Agreements shall be forfeited for no consideration and ZelnickMedia shall be paid on the date of termination (i) the earned but unpaid portion of the Management Fee and (ii) any accrued but unpaid Annual Bonus for a completed fiscal year, and ZelnickMedia and/or any Subject Persons, as applicable, shall retain the vested portion of all equity granted pursuant to the Grant Agreements; (b) if this Agreement is terminated by the Company without Cause or by ZelnickMedia for Good Reason (whether before or after a Change in Control), (i) ZelnickMedia shall be paid on the date of termination (x)

the earned but unpaid portion of the Management Fee, (y) any accrued but unpaid Annual Bonus for a completed fiscal year, and (z) three times (3X) the sum of (A) the Management Fee plus (B) the Target Bonus Amount; (ii) all unvested time-based restricted units granted pursuant to the Grant Agreements shall vest; and (iii) all performance-based restricted units granted pursuant to the Grant Agreements will vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable Grant Agreement, provided that the vesting of any such performance-based restricted units granted on or following the Initial Grant Date shall be determined based on the assumption that the applicable performance measure was achieved at the target level of performance for the applicable performance period or, prior to a Change in Control, based on the actual level of performance achieved for each applicable performance measure as of the date of termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the parties fail to enter into a new agreement with respect to services by ZelnickMedia provided hereunder on substantially similar terms in the aggregate upon the expiration of the Initial Term or otherwise agree to extend the Initial Term, all unvested time-based restricted units granted pursuant to the Grant Agreements shall vest, and all performance-based restricted units granted pursuant to the Grant Agreements shall vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable Grant Agreement upon such expiration; provided that the vesting of any such performance-based restricted units granted on or following the Initial Grant Date shall be determined based on the assumption that the applicable performance measure was achieved at the target level of performance for the applicable performance period or, prior to a Change in Control, based on the actual level of performance achieved for each applicable performance measure as of such vesting date. Upon a Change in Control, (i) this Agreement shall not terminate, and any termination of this Agreement (which, if done by the Company for any reason other than for Cause, shall be deemed a termination of this Agreement by the Company without Cause) shall only be in accordance with this Section 8, and (ii) all unvested restricted units granted pursuant to the Grant Agreements (including time-based and performance-based restricted units) will vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable Grant Agreement; provided, that (a) the vesting of any such restricted units granted on or following the Initial Grant Date shall occur upon the earlier of (x) a termination of this Agreement by the Company without Cause or by ZelnickMedia for Good Reason or (y) the second anniversary of the date such awards were granted pursuant to the Grant Agreements (irrespective of whether this Agreement has been terminated for any reason after such date) and (b) the vesting of any such performance-based restricted units granted on or following the Initial Grant Date shall be determined based on the assumption that the applicable performance measure was achieved at the target level of performance for the applicable performance period.

“Cause” means (a) the conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by any of the individuals provided by ZelnickMedia to serve in the positions set forth in Section 3(i)(A)-(B) (which positions are currently filled by Strauss Zelnick or Karl Slatoff, respectively) of any felonious criminal act (other than traffic-related offenses or as a result of vicarious liability), (b) fraud, or (c) any act or omission involving malfeasance or gross negligence by ZelnickMedia in the performance of its obligations hereunder, in the case of each of clauses (b) through (c) above, that relates to and damages the Company and, if capable of being cured so that the Company is not materially damaged, is not so cured within 15 days after receipt by ZelnickMedia of written notice thereof.

“Good Reason” means (a) a condition that materially impairs the ability of ZelnickMedia, Strauss Zelnick, Karl Slatoff or any other individual appointed by ZelnickMedia pursuant to Section 3(i)(A)-(B) (other than a condition solely created by ZelnickMedia or such individuals) to perform their respective duties or responsibilities, as applicable, as contemplated herein, (b) assigning Strauss Zelnick, Karl Slatoff or any other individual appointed by ZelnickMedia pursuant to Section 3(i)(A)-(B) duties materially inconsistent with their respective positions (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authorities or responsibilities or any other action by the Company which results in a material diminution of their respective positions, authorities, duties or responsibilities (and in making this determination with respect to Mr. Zelnick, factors may include Mr. Zelnick ceasing to be the most senior executive in any controlled group containing the Company), (c) the failure by the Company to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement or (d) the requirement that ZelnickMedia’s place of service be located outside a 30-mile radius of New York City, NY; provided, however, that in each ZelnickMedia provides not less than 30 days’ written notice to the Company (within 60 days of ZelnickMedia, Strauss Zelnick, Karl Slatoff or any other individual appointed by ZelnickMedia pursuant to Section 3(i)(A)-(B) becoming aware of the initial existence of the facts or circumstances constituting Good Reason) of its intention to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason, such notice to state in detail the particular act or acts or failure or failures to act that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for Good Reason is based, and such termination shall be effective at the expiration of such 30 day notice period only if the Company has not fully cured such act or acts or failure or failures to act that give rise to Good Reason during such period.

A “Change in Control” means any transaction or occurrence (or series of related transactions or occurrences) which results at any time in any of (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and of its subsidiaries, or a consolidation, reorganization, merger, or other business combination of the Company with or into, any other Person (as defined below) if, after such transaction the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction beneficially hold, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the outstanding voting units of the purchasing or surviving parent entity in such transaction, on a fully diluted basis, (ii) a change in the majority of the members of the Board to Persons who were neither (x) nominated or appointed by the current Board nor (y) nominated or appointed by directors so nominated or appointed, or (iii) an acquisition by any individual, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, corporation, trust, estate, real estate investment trust association or any other entity (each, a “Person”) or group of Persons (other than the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any of their affiliates) of the outstanding securities of the Company in a transaction or series of transactions, if immediately thereafter such acquiring Person or group has, or would have, beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined equity interests or voting power of the Company; provided that mere formation of a group will not itself constitute a Change in Control. A Change in Control shall be deemed to occur as of the effective date of the first event, action or transaction leading to one of the results described above.

As the parties hereto do not intend that actions taken by ZelnickMedia or any of its employees, shareholders, members, partners or other affiliates could give rise to a right on the part of ZelnickMedia to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason, the Company and ZelnickMedia

hereby agree that, in no event shall any conduct or actions undertaken by ZelnickMedia or any of its employees, shareholders, members, partners or other affiliates, or any failure by such persons to act, give rise to or constitute Good Reason hereunder or, to the extent that such conduct, actions, or failure to act results in a termination of this Agreement, be deemed a termination of this Agreement by the Company without Cause.

No termination of this Agreement shall affect the Company’s obligations with respect to any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by ZelnickMedia in rendering services hereunder and not reimbursed by the Company as of the effective date of such termination or the Company’s indemnification and contribution obligations.

9. Confidentiality; Non-Solicitation. ZelnickMedia shall not at any time during or after the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, except as in good faith deemed necessary or desirable to perform any of its obligations hereunder, to defend its own rights or as required by applicable law or legal process, disclose or use for its own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes of any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise other than the Company and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, any trade secrets, information, data, or other information, including, without limitation, relating to customers, development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales activities, promotion, credit and financial data, manufacturing processes, financing methods, plans, or the business and affairs of the Company, or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to information which is generally known to the industry or the public (other than as a result of ZelnickMedia’s breach of this covenant) or information obtained by ZelnickMedia prior to March 30, 2007 or not in connection with its performance of its obligations under this Agreement. ZelnickMedia agrees that upon termination of this Agreement, upon the Company’s request, it shall immediately return to the Company all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way relating to the business of the Company and its affiliates, except that ZelnickMedia may retain such personal notes, notebooks and diaries that do not contain confidential information of the type described above. For a period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending one year after the date of termination of this Agreement, except in the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company without Cause or by ZelnickMedia for Good Reason, ZelnickMedia shall not in any capacity, either individually or in association with others, employ or solicit for employment (other than in any general solicitation) any person who is an employee of the Company or its affiliates at the level of vice president or higher immediately prior to such employment or during such solicitation.

10. Liability. Neither ZelnickMedia nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or representatives shall be liable to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates for any loss, claim, liability, damage or expense arising out of or in connection with the performance of services contemplated by this Agreement, other than any loss, claim, liability, damage or expense to the extent determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused from the gross negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misfeasance of ZelnickMedia or its affiliates.

11. Indemnification; D&O Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless ZelnickMedia and its affiliates, and each of their respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, representatives, contractors and affiliates (each such individual or entity to be referred to hereinafter as an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, and any action in respect thereof, whether or not involving a third party, to which an Indemnified Person may be subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action relates to, arises out of or results from any Covered Event (as such term is defined below) or alleged Covered Event, and will reimburse such Indemnified Person upon request for all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as such expenses are incurred or paid. The term “Covered Event” shall mean (a) any action taken, or services performed, by an Indemnified Person, related to or consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the 2014 Agreement, the 2011 Agreement or the Original Agreement, or (b) any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Company or any of its managers, directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates, in connection with any matter in which an Indemnified Person has been involved pursuant to this Agreement, the 2014 Agreement, the 2011 Agreement or the Original Agreement; provided, that the term “Covered Event,” with respect to an Indemnified Person, shall exclude any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused from the gross negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misfeasance of such Indemnified Person or any affiliate thereof. The Company shall cover the designees of ZelnickMedia under directors and officers’ liability insurance both during and, while potential liability exists, after the term of this Agreement in amounts reasonably requested by ZelnickMedia.

Effective as of the Effective Date, this Agreement and the Grant Agreements shall (a) contain the complete and entire understanding and agreement of ZelnickMedia and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof; and (b) supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, conditions and agreements, oral or written, express or implied, respecting the engagement of ZelnickMedia in connection with the subject matter hereof, including the 2014 Agreement, the 2011 Agreement and the Original Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) with respect to Fiscal 2018, the Annual Bonus for the period from April 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 shall be determined in accordance with Section 5 of the 2014 Agreement based on Fiscal 2018 performance, (ii) Section 23 (Registration Statement) of both the 2014 Agreement and the 2011 Agreement shall survive the execution of this Agreement and (iii) to the extent expressly provided therein, each of the grant agreements attached as Exhibit A to the 2014 Agreement relating to the restricted units described in Section 6 of the 2014 Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the (1) Restricted Unit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2014, as amended by the Amendment to the Restricted Unit Agreement, effective as of March 31, 2016, (2) Amended and Restated Restricted Unit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2015, as amended by the Amendment to the Amended and Restated Restricted Unit Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2017, effective as of December 8, 2016, (3) Restricted Unit Agreement, dated as of May 20, 2016, and (4) the Restricted Unit Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2017) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof and shall not be superseded by this Agreement or by the New

This Agreement may be amended or modified, or any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by ZelnickMedia and the Company, or in the case of a waiver, by the party or parties waiving compliance. Any waiver by any party of any condition, or of the breach of any provision, term or covenant contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall not be deemed to be nor construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition, or the breach of any other provision, term or covenant of this Agreement.

15. Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of that provision or any other provision hereof.

16. Assignment. ZelnickMedia may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement only with the express written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement. The Company hereby agrees to the assignment by ZelnickMedia of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to ZM Capital Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ZM Capital”); provided, however, that ZelnickMedia shall remain liable for all of the obligations hereunder and under this Agreement.

18. Failure to Pay. If for any reason the Company does not pay the Management Fee, Annual Bonus or any other amount due under this Agreement when due, then such amount shall accrue interest at a rate of 1% per month and shall continue to be payable and shall be paid by the Company as soon as it can be paid. The preceding sentence shall not limit any other remedies of ZelnickMedia in the event amounts are not paid when due.

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by each party hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original and both of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

20. Choice of Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each party consents to the in personam jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery or other courts of the State of Delaware and the United States District Court located in the State of Delaware in connection with any claim or dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

21. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any law or regulation of any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to the least degree necessary to conform to the requirements of such law or regulation, or if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be illegal, invalid or unenforceable only to the extent set forth in the law or regulation without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

22. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that one or more payments under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and would cause ZelnickMedia to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, the Company shall, at no additional cost to the Company, after consulting with ZelnickMedia and receiving ZelnickMedia’s approval, reform and appropriately adjust such provision; provided that the Company agrees to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable without any such additional cost to the Company, the original intent and economic benefit to ZelnickMedia of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

23. Registration Statement. Subject to reasonable blackout periods and the receipt of necessary information from ZelnickMedia (or any Subject Person, if applicable) for inclusion in such filing, the Company shall, at any time following the first anniversary of the date hereof and within 45 days following the written request of ZelnickMedia, file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any applicable successor registration form) (the “Registration Statement”) covering the shares of the common stock granted to ZelnickMedia pursuant to the New Grant Agreement and any grant agreements entered into with respect to additional grants by the Company in accordance with Section 6. Subject to reasonable blackout periods, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective and free from any material misstatement or omission to state a material fact until such time as all such shares of common stock have been sold pursuant to a registration statement or are otherwise freely tradable.

24. Dodd-Frank. ZelnickMedia hereby acknowledges (i) the section in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines entitled “Recovery of Improperly-Awarded Incentive Compensation”, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A (the “Clawback Policy”) and (ii) Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which requires that the SEC, by rule, direct the national securities exchanges and national securities associates to prohibit the listing of any security of an issuer that fails to implement a “clawback” policy providing that “in the event that the issuer is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the issuer with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the issuer will recover from any current or former executive of the issuer who received incentive-based compensation (including stock options awarded as compensation) during the three-year period preceding the date on which the issuer is required to prepare an accounting restatement, based on the erroneous

data, in excess of what would have been paid to the executive officer under the accounting restatement.” ZelnickMedia shall, and shall cause its shareholders, partners, employees, members and other affiliates who are deemed “Executives” under the Clawback Policy or who receive any portion of the Equity Awards, to comply with the Clawback Policy, including as may be amended or superseded by the Board after the date hereof to the extent required to comply with any rules adopted by the SEC in response to Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act.

RESTRICTED UNIT AGREEMENT
PURSUANT TO THE
TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC.
2017 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

This Restricted Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 13, 2018, 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. 2017 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 7 of the Plan, the Committee may grant restricted stock units (“Restricted Units”), each representing the right to receive one (1) share (a “Share”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), or the cash value of one (1) share of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee, on a specified settlement date, to Consultants; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Management Agreement between the Participant and the Company, dated as of November 17, 2017, and effective as of January 1, 2018 (the “Management Agreement”), the Company has agreed to grant Restricted Units to the Participant.

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 [ ] Restricted Units, 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 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.

9. Notices. Any notice or communication given hereunder (each a “Notice”) shall be in writing and shall be sent by personal delivery, by courier or by United States mail (registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), to the appropriate party at the address set forth below:

The parties also hereby irrevocably (i) submit to the jurisdiction of any competent court in the Agreed Venue (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom), (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, waive any and all defenses the parties may have on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction of any such court and any other objection that such parties may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding in any such court (including without limitation any defense that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum), and (iii) consent to service of process in any such suit, action, or proceeding anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court, in any manner provided by applicable law.

13. Amendment.

(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.

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 “Recurrent Consumer Spending Performance-Based Units”), and Section (B)(iii) (the “IP Performance-Based Units,” and together with the TSR Performance-Based Units and the Recurrent Consumer Spending Performance-Based Units, the “Performance-Based Units”).

A-1

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 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 Recurrent Consumer Spending Performance-Based Units and IP Performance-Based Units hereunder, and the target number of such Recurrent Consumer Spending Performance-Based Units and 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.

A-2

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 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

A-3

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 sold as a supplement (including as part of a bundle or special/premium edition) to a full game release of such IP, including but not limited to expansion packs and micro-content (or, in the case of free-to-play game software programs, that are sold in connection with such IP), 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 Recurrent Consumer Spending Performance-Based Units, the Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage, and (iii) with respect to IP Performance-Based Units, the IP Vesting Percentage.

“Individual Release” means any IP released at any time prior to or following the date of this Agreement 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 commercially-released interactive entertainment product, including any commercially-released products that are derived from or use the branding, environments or characters of such products (e.g., Sequels and subsequent Individual Releases).

“IP Vesting Percentage” as of a given date is a function of the Company’s Sell-In Performance for any Individual Release of IP calculated as of such date, determined by reference to the following table. For the avoidance of doubt, the IP Vesting Percentage shall be determined based on the Company’s Sell-In Performance with respect to one Individual Release of IP. If multiple Individual Releases of IP occur during the relevant measurement period, the IP Vesting Percentage shall be determined based on the Individual Release of IP that results in the highest IP Vesting Percentage. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the Company’s Sell-In Performance with respect to multiple Individual Releases of IP or (ii) the IP Vesting Percentages attributable to multiple Individual Releases of IP, be aggregated for purposes of determining the IP Vesting Percentage. By way of example, if, during the relevant measurement period, the Company has an Individual Release of IP that results in a Sell-In Performance of 6,000,000 units, as well as an Individual Release of IP that results in Sell-In Performance of 8,000,000 units, the IP Vesting Percentage will be 100% (i.e., the highest IP Vesting Percentage attributable to an Individual Release of IP). For purposes of calculating the IP Vesting Percentage under Section B(iii) of this Annex A, except where such calculation is not required as provided in Section C of this Annex A, the relevant measurement date will be March 31, 2020.

(x) For any Individual Release of IP:

A-4

IP Sell-In Performance		IP Vesting Percentage
Less than 6,000,000 units		0%
6,000,000 units		50%
8,000,000 units		100%
10,000,000 units or greater		200%

In the event that the IP Sell-In Performance is less than 6,000,000 units, the IP Vesting Percentage shall be zero percent (0%). In the event that the IP Sell-In Performance falls between any of the values listed in the table above, the 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. For purposes of calculating the TSR Vesting Percentage under Section B(i) of this Annex A, except where such calculation is not required as provided in Section C of this Annex A, the given date for the definition of Measurement Price will be March 31, 2020.

The “Peer Group” shall consist of the companies that comprise The NASDAQ Composite Index on March 31, 2018; 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, 2018 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, 2018 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 of the TSR Vesting Percentage and related calculations (even if such member of the Peer Group ceases to be publicly traded upon or following its bankruptcy).

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

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.

A-5

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.

“Qualifying Termination” means (i) a termination of the Management Agreement by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Management Agreement), including any termination by the Company (other than for Cause) in connection with a Change in Control, or by ZelnickMedia or its assignee for Good Reason (as defined in the Management Agreement) or (ii) the failure of the Company and ZelnickMedia to enter into a new management agreement, on terms substantially similar in the aggregate to the terms of the Management Agreement, upon the expiration of the Initial Term (as defined therein) or to otherwise agree to extend the Initial Term.

“Recurrent Consumer Spending” as of a given date shall mean the consolidated net bookings generated by the Company that are supplemental to the sale of any full game release from the sale of virtual currency, add-on content, microtransactions and similar items, calculated on a basis consistent with how the Company calculates recurrent consumer spending for its management reporting. For the avoidance of doubt, Recurrent Consumer Spending shall not include full-game digital downloads.

“Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage” is a function of the Company’s Recurrent Consumer Spending and is determined by reference to the following tables. The first table measures the percentage change between Recurrent Consumer Spending for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and the two-year average Recurrent Consumer Spending for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, while the second table measures two-year average Recurrent Consumer Spending for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 as a percentage of two-year average total net bookings for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, and reflects a Relative Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage. For the avoidance of doubt, the Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage shall be equal to either the Absolute Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage or the Relative Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage, whichever is greater.

Absolute Recurrent Consumer Spending Growth (during the relevant measurement period)		Absolute Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage
Less than 3%		0%
3%		50%
6%		100%
9% or greater		200%

In the event that the Absolute Recurrent Consumer Spending Growth is less than 3%, the Absolute Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage shall be zero percent (0%). In the event that the Absolute Recurrent Consumer Spending Growth falls between any of the values

A-6

listed in the table above, the Absolute Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage shall be based on a straight line interpolation between such two values.

Relative Recurrent Consumer Spending (as a percentage of two-year average total net bookings)		Relative Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage
Less than 27.5%		0%
27.5%		50%
37.5%		100%
47.5% or greater		200%

In the event that the Relative Recurrent Consumer Spending Growth is less than 27.5%, the Relative Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage shall be zero percent (0%). In the event that the Relative Recurrent Consumer Spending Growth falls between any of the values listed in the table above, the Relative Recurrent Consumer Spending Vesting Percentage shall be based on a straight line interpolation between such two values.

“Reference Price” 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) March 31, 2018.

“Sell-In Performance” as of a given date means, with respect to any Individual Release of IP, the number of units “sold-in” during the period beginning on April 1, 2018 and ending on March 31, 2020.

“Sequel” means with respect to any IP, any game software program, other than any Port or Add-On Content, in any medium that is derived from such IP within the same genre, utilizing the same game play, and based on the same themes and using the same brand name as such IP where the visual display(s), character(s), background(s), virtual environment(s), or other visual or video elements accessible to the end-user of the game software program are derived from comparable elements of such IP.

“Total Shareholder Return” as of a given date means the percentage change in the value of the Common Stock or the common stock of a Peer Group company, as applicable, from the Reference Price to the Measurement Price on such date.

“TSR Vesting Percentage” as of a given date is a function of the Company’s Percentile Rank among the Peer Group calculated as of such date, determined by reference to the following table:

Percentile Rank		TSR Vesting Percentage
Less than 40th Percentile		0%
40th Percentile		50%
50th Percentile		100%
75th Percentile or greater		200%

A-7

In the event that the Percentile Rank is less than 40th Percentile, the TSR Vesting Percentage shall be zero percent (0%). In the event that the Percentile Rank falls between any of the values listed in the table above, the TSR Vesting Percentage shall be based on a straight line interpolation between such two values.

ANNEX A

Clawback Policy

Recovery of Improperly-Awarded Incentive Compensation

The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the following policy through the insertion of contractual provisions in new agreements with applicable employees and through any amendments that may be entered into after the date of the adoption of this policy on November 12, 2010 to existing agreements with Executives (as defined below).

The Board may require the reimbursement of any bonus or incentive compensation awarded to an Executive and/or effect the cancellation of unvested restricted stock or outstanding stock option awards previously granted to an Executive, in each case, on or after the adoption of this policy on November 12, 2010, but in no event more than four years after the award of such compensation where: (1) the payment was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently determined to have been erroneously reported; (2) the Board determines that the Executive engaged in knowing or intentional fraudulent or illegal conduct that caused or substantially caused such erroneous reporting to have occurred; and (3) a lower payment would have been made to the Executive based upon the corrected financial results. In each instance, the Board may, to the extent practicable under applicable law, seek to recover from such Executive on or after the adoption of this policy any amount that was subsequently reduced due to the correction of erroneous reporting and/or effect the cancellation of outstanding restricted stock or stock option awards previously granted to such Executive on or after the date of the adoption of this policy in the amount by which such Executive’s bonus or incentive payments for the relevant period exceeded the lower payment that would have been made based on the corrected financial results.

The Board shall render a determination pursuant to this policy in each instance where both an erroneous report of financial results has affected the size of a bonus or incentive compensation awarded to an Executive, and where the Board is aware of credible evidence that the Executive may have engaged in such fraudulent or illegal conduct. In determining whether to recover a payment, the Board shall take into account such considerations as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, whether the assertion of a claim against the Executive could violate applicable law or prejudice the Company’s overall interests and whether other penalties or punishments are being imposed on the Executives, including by third parties, such as law enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities. The Board shall have sole discretion in determining whether an Executive’s conduct has or has not met any particular standard of conduct under law of Company policy. Any recovery under this policy may be in addition to any other remedies that may be available to the Company under applicable law, including disciplinary actions up to and including termination of employment.

For purposes of this policy, the term “Executive” means an “executive officer” as defined in Rule 3b-7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The right of the Board to assert a recovery claim under this policy shall not survive the occurrence of a change in control of the Company as defined in the relevant incentive compensation plan. This policy shall apply in addition to any

right of recovery against the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Board may delegate one or more of the duties or powers described in this policy to one or more committees of the Board consisting of solely independent directors.
