5.2 | If Take-Two becomes aware of any fact, matter or circumstance that it reasonably considers would entitle Take-Two to invoke (and the Panel would permit Take-Two to so invoke) any of the Conditions or treat any of the Conditions as unsatisfied or incapable of satisfaction (applying the test set out in Rule 13.5 of the Code), Take-Two shall (subject to Law) inform Codemasters providing reasonable details as soon as is reasonably practicable.

6. | Switching to a Takeover Offer

6.1 | The parties currently intend that the Acquisition will be implemented by way of the Scheme. However, Take-Two shall be entitled, with the consent of the Panel, to implement the Acquisition by way of the Takeover Offer rather than the Scheme (such election being a “Switch”) only if:

| (a) | Codemasters provides its prior written consent (an “Agreed Switch”), in which case clause 6.2 shall apply; or

| (b) | a Codemasters Board Adverse Recommendation Change occurs.

6.2 | In the event of any Agreed Switch, unless otherwise agreed in writing between Take-Two and Codemasters or required by the Panel:

| (a) | the parties agree that the Acceptance Condition shall be set at ninety (90) per cent. of the Codemasters Shares to which the Offer relates (or such lesser percentage as may be agreed between the parties in writing after, to the extent necessary, consultation with the Panel, being in any case more than fifty (50) per cent. of the Codemasters Shares to which the Offer relates);

- 13 -

| (b) | Take-Two shall not take any action which would cause the Offer not to proceed, to lapse or to be withdrawn in each case for non-fulfilment of the Acceptance Condition prior to the 60th day after publication of the Offer Document (“Day 60”) (or such later date if the final deadline for acceptances is extended by the Panel in accordance with Rule 31.6 of the Code and the Notes on Rule 31.6 of the Code) and Take-Two shall ensure that the Offer remains open for acceptances until such time;

| (c) | Take-Two shall ensure that the only conditions of the Offer shall be the Conditions (subject to replacing the Condition set out in paragraph 3 of Part A (Conditions and Further Terms of the Acquisition) of Appendix I to the Announcement with the Acceptance Condition referred to in clause 6.2(a) and any other modifications or amendments to such terms and conditions as may be required by the Panel or which are necessary as a result of the Agreed Switch) and that the Offer is made on terms that are no less favourable to offerees than those set out in the Announcement;

| (d) | Take-Two shall keep Codemasters informed, on a confidential basis and reasonably promptly following receipt of a written request from Codemasters, of the number of holders of Codemasters Shares that have validly returned their acceptance or withdrawal forms or incorrectly completed their withdrawal or acceptance forms and the identity of such shareholders and the number of Codemasters Shares to which such forms relate; and

| (e) | the parties agree that:

| (i) | all provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply save as set out in this clause 6.2; and

| (ii) | all provisions of this Agreement relating to the Scheme and the Scheme Document and its implementation shall apply to the Offer, the Offer Document and its implementation mutatis mutandis, save as set out in this clause 6.

6.3 | In the event of an Agreed Switch, Take-Two shall:-

| (a) | submit, or procure the submission of drafts and revised drafts of the Offer Document to Codemasters for review and comment and shall take into account any reasonable comments from Codemasters for the purposes of preparing revised drafts; and

| (b) | obtain Codemasters’ approval for the contents of the information on the Codemasters Group contained in the Offer Document before it is posted or published and afford Codemasters sufficient time to consider such documents in order to give its approval. If Codemasters does not approve the information

- 14 -

| in the Offer Document within 28 days from the date of the Agreed Switch, Take-Two shall be entitled to publish the Offer Document containing only information required by Rule 24 of the Code excluding such information as may be approved by the Panel.

6.4 | Take-Two hereby represents that it is not, at the date of this Agreement, and undertakes that it shall not become, following the date of this Agreement, required to make a mandatory offer for Codemasters under Rule 9 of the Code.

7. | Codemasters dividends

As set out in further detail in the Announcement, if on or after the date of the Announcement any dividend or other distribution is declared, paid or made or becomes payable by Codemasters, Take-Two reserves the right to reduce the Offer Price by the aggregate amount of such dividend or distribution, in which case the relevant eligible Take-Two Shareholders will be entitled to receive and retain such dividend and/or distribution.

8. | Codemasters Share Option Schemes

8.1 | The provisions of Schedule 2 shall apply in respect of the Codemasters Share Option Schemes.

8.2 | Each of the parties agrees that if the Acquisition is implemented by way of the Scheme, the timetable for its implementation shall be fixed so far as is possible so as to enable options and awards under the relevant Codemasters Share Option Schemes which provide for exercise and/or vesting upon the sanction of the Scheme by the Court to be exercised or vest in sufficient time to enable the resulting Codemasters Shares to be bound by the Scheme on the same terms as Codemasters Shares held by Codemasters Shareholders.

8.3 | Codemasters represents and warrants to Take-Two that:

| (a) | none of the recipients of awards under the Take-Two RSU Plan as referred to in paragraphs 4(a) or 4(f) of Schedule 2 is at the date of this Agreement a director of, or a shareholder in, Codemasters;

| (b) | the issued share capital of Codemasters at the date of this Agreement is 152,411,266 Codemasters Shares;

| (c) | the total number of Codemasters Shares which may be allotted and issued pursuant to the Codemasters Share Option Schemes at the date of this Agreement is 3,536,287; and

| (d) | the total number of Codemasters Shares which may be allotted and issued pursuant to options granted under the Codemasters Share Options Schemes on or after the date of this Agreement is 451,045.

9. | Directors’ and officers’ insurance

9.1 | If and to the extent such obligations are permitted by Law, for six (6) years after the Effective Date, Take-Two shall procure that the members of the Codemasters Group

- 15 -

| honour and fulfil their respective obligations (if any) existing as at the date of this Agreement to indemnify their respective directors and officers and to advance expenses, in each case with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Date. Nothing in the foregoing shall require any member of the Codemasters Group or Take-Two to indemnify any director to the extent it is unlawful to do so.

9.2 | Take-Two acknowledges that Codemasters may purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance cover for both current and former directors and officers of the Codemasters Group, including directors and officers who retire or whose employment is terminated as a result of the Acquisition, for acts and omissions up to and including the Effective Date, in the form of runoff cover for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Date. Such insurance cover shall be with reputable insurers and provide cover, in terms of amount and breadth, substantially equivalent to that provided under the Codemasters Group’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as at the date of this Agreement. Each of the directors, officers and employees of the Codemasters Group to which clause 9.1 and this clause 9.2 apply will have the right, under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, to enforce his or her rights against Take-Two under clause 9.1 and this clause 9.2.

| (d) | upon service of written notice by Take-Two to Codemasters prior to the Long Stop Date stating that either:

- 16 -

in each case in circumstances where the invocation of the relevant Condition (or confirmation that the Condition is incapable of satisfaction, as appropriate) has been permitted by the Panel;

| (e) | upon service of written notice by Take-Two to Codemasters or by Codemasters to Take-Two prior to the Long Stop Date, if:

| (g) | unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, if the Effective Date has not occurred on or before the Long Stop Date.

11.2 | The parties agree that, if the Panel determines that any provision of this Agreement that requires Codemasters to take or not to take any action, whether as a direct obligation or as a condition to any other person’s obligation (however expressed), is not permitted by Rule 21.2 of the Code, that provision shall have no effect and shall be disregarded.

Schedule 2

Codemasters Share Option Schemes and Take-Two RSU Plan

Codemasters and Take-Two agree that the following arrangements will, where appropriate and subject to the Acquisition becoming effective in all respects, be implemented with respect to the Codemasters Share Option Schemes and the Take-Two RSU Plan.

In this Schedule 2, references to an “award” include a conditional right or an option to acquire Codemasters Shares pursuant to the Codemasters Share Option Schemes or a right under the Take-Two RSU Plan.

In the event that the Acquisition is effected by way of a Takeover Offer, references to “Court Sanction” in this Schedule 2 shall be read as if they refer to the date on which the Takeover Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects.

1. | Operation of the Codemasters Share Option Schemes prior to the Effective Date

1.1 | Take-Two acknowledges and agrees that subject always to Rule 21.1 of the Code, prior to the Effective Date, the Codemasters Board (and, where appropriate, the Codemasters Remuneration Committee) may operate the Codemasters Share Option Schemes as they consider appropriate in accordance with the existing rules of the applicable plan and Codemasters’ normal practice and, where relevant, the Company’s directors’ remuneration policy. For the avoidance of doubt, operate includes (without limitation):

| (a) | subject to paragraphs 1.2 to 1.4 (inclusive) below, determining the terms of and granting new awards under the Codemasters Share Option Schemes;

| (b) | satisfying the vesting, exercise and release of awards by issuing new Codemasters Shares; and

| (c) | determining the treatment of awards for participants in the Codemasters Share Option Schemes who cease employment prior to the Effective Date.

1.2 | The parties acknowledge and agree that the Codemasters Remuneration Committee has determined that Codemasters shall grant options prior to the Effective Date under the Codemasters LTIP over 91,464 Codemasters Shares with an exercise price of 1p per Codemasters Share to a group of 19 senior managers (the “New Codemasters LTIP Awards”).

1.3 | The parties acknowledge and agree that the Codemasters Remuneration Committee has determined that Codemasters shall, prior to the Effective Date, grant an option outside of the Codemasters NED Plan but on terms substantially similar to those of the Codemasters NED Plan (otherwise than as to exercise price) over 210,000 Codemasters Shares with an exercise price of £2.35 per Codemasters Share to Lisa Thomas (the “New Codemasters NED Award”):

1.4 | The parties acknowledge and agree that the Codemasters Remuneration Committee has determined that Codemasters shall grant options to 119 employees prior to the Effective Date under the Codemasters ESOP over 149,581 Codemasters Shares with an exercise price of the closing middle-market price of a Codemasters Share on the day before an award is granted (or, if the Codemasters Remuneration Committee so determines, with

- 26 -

| an exercise price of the average closing middle-market price on the three preceding days before an award is granted) (the “New Codemasters ESOP Awards” and, together with the New Codemasters LTIP Awards and the New Codemasters NED Award, the “New Codemasters Awards”).

2. | Treatment of Codemasters Share Option Schemes awards in connection with the Acquisition

2.1 | Take-Two acknowledges and agrees that the Codemasters Remuneration Committee may determine the treatment of outstanding awards under the Codemasters Share Option Schemes in connection with the Acquisition in accordance with the rules of the applicable plan and, where relevant, Codemasters’ directors’ remuneration policy, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 | The parties agree that the Scheme Record Time (as specified in the Scheme Document) shall take place after the day of the Court Hearing to allow sufficient time for those participants in Codemasters Share Option Schemes who acquire Codemasters Shares on or before the day of the Court Hearing to have those Codemasters Shares acquired by Take-Two through the Scheme.

2.3 | The parties agree that vesting, exercise and settlement under the Codemasters Share Option Schemes as described in this Schedule will be subject to the deductions for applicable taxes and National Insurance and any similar social security deductions or contributions.

2.4 | Take-Two agrees to make an appropriate offer or proposal to the holders of the interests under the Codemasters Share Option Schemes in accordance with Rule 15 of the Code, as set out in this Schedule 2.

2.5 | The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that, in accordance with the rules of the Codemasters Share Option Schemes and, where relevant, Codemasters’ directors’ remuneration policy, outstanding awards which are unvested or not exercisable immediately before the Court Sanction will vest and become exercisable in accordance with the applicable plan rules at the time of the Court Sanction as determined by the Codemasters Remuneration Committee, subject to the following agreed principles:

| (a) | Codemasters agrees that the Codemasters Remuneration Committee has determined that the applicable performance conditions that apply to the awards granted under the Codemasters LTIP have been satisfied in full or would be likely to be satisfied in full at the end of the relevant performance periods such that the awards will vest and become exercisable in full at the time of the Court Hearing; and

| (b) | the parties agree that all outstanding awards (whether currently vested or unvested) under the Codemasters Share Option Schemes shall lapse at the expiry of a period of six months from the date of the Court Sanction.

3.2 | The letters will explain to participants the impact of the Acquisition on rights held under the relevant Codemasters Share Option Schemes and any Codemasters Shares they may receive in respect of such rights, explain Take-Two’s “Rule 15 proposals” and highlight any action participants may wish to take in anticipation of or in connection with the Acquisition and/or Take-Two’s “Rule 15 proposals”.
