hereto, nor shall Pledgee or any Secured Party be required or obligated in any

such Accounts, including, without limitation, all original purchase orders,
invoices and shipping receipts; and, prior to the occurrence of an Event of

such Contracts have been assigned to Pledgee and that payments shall be made
directly to Pledgee. Upon the request of Pledgee, Borrower will so notify such
Account Debtors and parties to such Contracts. After the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Pledgee may at any time in its own name
or in the name of others communicate with such Account Debtors and parties to
such Contracts to verify with such Persons to Pledgee's satisfaction the

shall have the right to make test verifications of the Accounts through any
medium that it considers advisable, and Borrower agrees to furnish all such
assistance and information as Pledgee may reasonably require in connection
therewith. Prior to the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, such verification shall be in Borrower's name. Borrower at its expense

4. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants
that:
(a) Except for the security interest granted to Pledgee pursuant to this
Security Agreement and Permitted Junior Liens, Borrower is or will be the sole
owner of each item of the Collateral in which it purports to grant a security
interest hereunder, having good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of
any and all liens, security interests or other encumbrances. No amount payable
under or in connection with any of its Accounts or Contracts are evidenced by
instruments which have not been delivered to Pledgee.
(b) No effective security agreement, financing statement, equivalent
security or lien instrument or continuation agreement covering all or any part
of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as
may have been filed by Borrower in favor of Pledgee pursuant to this Security
Agreement or filed in connection with Permitted Junior Liens.

describing the items or types of Collateral as to which security interests may
be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the UCC in the
jurisdictions listed on Schedule II hereto and the delivery to Pledgee of the
original letters of credit listed on Schedule I hereto, this Security Agreement
shall be effective to create and perfect a valid and continuing lien on and
perfected security interest in such Collateral with respect to which a security
interest may be perfected by filing or the obtaining of possession of the
Collateral pursuant to the UCC in favor of Pledgee, prior to all other security
interests (other than the security interests granted to Pledgee under this
Security Agreement and Permitted Junior Liens), and is enforceable as such as
against creditors of and purchasers from Borrower. All action necessary or
desirable to protect and perfect such security interest in each item of the
Collateral has been duly taken.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 6 SecAgmt Management
(Inventory Management Systems, Inc.)
(d) The address of Borrower's principal place of business and the place
where its records concerning the Collateral are kept is set forth on Schedule
III hereto, and Borrower will not change such principal place of business or
remove such records unless it has taken such action as is necessary to cause the

Borrower will not change its principal place of business or the place where its
records concerning the Collateral is kept without giving 30 days prior written
notice thereof to Pledgee.
(e) The amount represented by Borrower to Pledgee from time to time as
owing by each Account Debtor or by all Account Debtors in respect of the
Accounts will at such time be the correct amount actually and unconditionally
owing by such Account Debtors thereunder.
(f) Each of the letters of credit listed on Schedule I hereto constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuer thereof, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms. Borrower has taken all actions
necessary to provide for the transfer to Pledgee of all its right, title and
interest in, to and under the letters of credit listed on Schedule I hereto and
Pledgee has the right to draw under such letters of credit in accordance with
their respective terms. Such transfers are enforceable against the issuers of

after the date of this Security Agreement and until the Secured Obligations are
fully satisfied:
(a) Further Documentation; Pledge of Instruments. At any time and from time
to time, upon the written request of Pledgee, and at the sole expense of
Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such
further instruments and documents and take such further action as Pledgee may
reasonably deem necessary to obtain the full benefits of this Security Agreement
and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation,
using its best efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or
appropriate for the assignment to Pledgee of any Contract held by Borrower or in
which Borrower has any rights not heretofore assigned, the filing of any
financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the liens and
security interests granted hereby and transferring Collateral to Pledgee's
possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by
possession). Borrower also hereby authorizes Pledgee to file any such financing
or continuation statement without the signature of Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law. A photocopy of this Security Agreement may be filed
as a financing statement. If any amount payable under or in connection with any
of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any instrument, such
instrument shall be immediately pledged to Pledgee hereunder, and shall be duly
endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Pledgee and delivered to Pledgee.
(b) Maintenance of Records. Borrower will keep and maintain at its own cost
and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, including,

property interest in all of Borrower's books and records pertaining to the
Collateral and, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default, Borrower shall deliver
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and turn over any such books and records to Pledgee or to its representatives at
any time on demand of Pledgee. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
and upon reasonable notice from Pledgee, Borrower shall permit any
representative of Pledgee to inspect such books and records upon reasonable
notice and during normal business hours, and will provide photocopies thereof to
Pledgee.
(c) Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Pledgee
or any Secured Party relating to any Account or Contract for any sum owing
thereunder, or to enforce any provision of any Account or Contract, Borrower
will save, indemnify and keep Pledgee and Secured Parties harmless from and
against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor
thereunder, arising out of a breach by Borrower of any obligation thereunder or
arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing

obligations of Borrower shall be and remain enforceable against and only against
Borrower and shall not be enforceable against Pledgee or any Secured Party.
(d) Compliance with Laws, etc. Borrower will comply, in all material
respects, with all acts, rules, regulations, orders, decrees and directions of
any governmental authority, applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or
to the operation of Borrower's business; provided, however, that Borrower may
contest any act, regulation, order, decree or direction in any reasonable manner
which shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Pledgee, adversely affect
Pledgee's rights hereunder or adversely affect the first priority of its
security interest in the Collateral.
(e) Payment of Obligations. Borrower will pay promptly when due all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral.

suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against and take such other
action as is necessary to remove, any lien, security interest or other
encumbrance on the Collateral except for Permitted Liens, and will defend the
right, title and interest of Pledgee in and to any of Borrower's rights under
the Accounts, Contracts, Documents and General Intangibles and to the Proceeds
thereof against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(h) Limitations on Modifications of Accounts, etc. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any Event of Default, Borrower will not, without
Pledgee's prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of
any of the Accounts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the
full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the
payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.

otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral except, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, for the performance of Contracts and the collection of its
Accounts in the ordinary course of its business.
(j) Further Identification of Collateral. Borrower will if so requested by
Pledgee furnish to Pledgee, as often as Pledgee reasonably requests, statements
and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other
reports in connection with the Collateral as Pledgee may reasonably request, all
in reasonable detail.

same, in reasonable detail, (i) of any material lien, security interest,
encumbrance or claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral other than

Collateral, and (iii) of the occurrence of any other event which would have a
material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the
security interests created hereunder.

Event Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no notice is
necessary), Pledgee shall at all times have full and free access during normal
business hours and upon reasonable notice to all the books and records and
correspondence of Borrower, and Pledgee or its representatives may examine the
same, take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and Borrower agrees
to render to Pledgee, at Borrower's cost and expense, such clerical and other
assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto.
(m) Continuous Perfection. Borrower will not change its name, identity or
corporate structure in any manner which might make any financing or continuation
statement filed in connection herewith seriously misleading within the meaning
of Section 9-402 of the UCC (or any other then applicable provision of the UCC)
unless Borrower shall have given Pledgee at least 30 days prior written notice
thereof and shall have taken all action (or made arrangements to take such
action substantially simultaneously with such change if it is impossible to take
such action in advance) necessary or reasonably requested by Pledgee to amend
such financing statement or continuation statement so that it is not seriously
misleading.
6. Pledgee's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Pledgee and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place

reasonable expenses of Pledgee or such Secured Party incurred in connection with
such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate then
in effect under the Notes, shall be payable by Borrower to Pledgee or such
Secured Party on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations secured hereby.

(on behalf of and as agent for Secured Parties) exercise in addition to all
other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security Agreement and in any
other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under

Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver
said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more
parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker's board or
at any of Pledgee's offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for
cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
Pledgee shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the
extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the
whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption, which equity of redemption Borrower hereby releases. Borrower
further agrees, at Pledgee's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Pledgee at places which Pledgee shall reasonably select, whether at
Borrower's premises or elsewhere. Pledgee shall apply the net proceeds of any
such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, as
provided in Section 8(d) hereof, Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency
remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so paying over such net
proceeds and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any
provision of law, including Section 9-504 of the UCC, need Lender account for
the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, Borrower waives all claims, damages, and demands against Pledgee or any
Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the
Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Pledgee. Borrower agrees that the Pledgee need not give more than
ten days' notice (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed or
delivered on an overnight basis, postage prepaid, addressed to Borrower at its
address referred to in Section 12 hereof) of the time and place of any public
sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such
notice is reasonable notification of such matters. Borrower shall remain liable
for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Secured Parties are entitled,
Borrower also being liable for the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by
Pledgee or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(b) Borrower also agrees to pay all costs of Pledgee and Secured Parties,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder.
(c) Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with
this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(d) The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or
any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by Pledgee in the following
order of priorities:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 12 SecAgmt Management
(Inventory Management Systems, Inc.)
first, to Pledgee in an amount sufficient to pay in full the expenses of
Pledgee and Secured Parties in connection with such sale, disposition or other
realization, including all reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances
incurred or made by Pledgee in connection therewith, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees;
second, to Pledgee or Secured Parties in an amount equal to the then unpaid
principal of and accrued interest and prepayment premiums, if any, on the
Secured Obligations;
third, to Pledgee or Secured Parties in an amount equal to any other
Secured Obligations which are then unpaid; and
finally, upon payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations, to pay to
Borrower, or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct, any surplus then remaining from such Proceeds.
9. Limitation on Pledgee's Duty in Respect of Collateral. Pledgee shall use
reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its
control. Pledgee shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its
possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of
it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior
parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Upon request of Borrower,
Pledgee shall account for any moneys received by it in respect of any
foreclosure on or disposition of the Collateral.
10. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Borrower for
liquidation or reorganization, should Borrower become insolvent or make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower's assets, and shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be
restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a
"voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance", or otherwise, all as though such
payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any
part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured
Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and
not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
11. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided
herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other
communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any
other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any
other communication with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be
given as set forth in Section 12.1 of the Purchase Agreement with the address
for notices for Take-Two set forth therein being the address for notices for
Borrower under this Security Agreement. The giving of any notice required
hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such notice.
Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent,
approval,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 13 SecAgmt Management
(Inventory Management Systems, Inc.)
declaration or other communication to the persons designated above to receive
copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication.
12. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
13. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither Pledgee nor any Secured Party
shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of
its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in
writing, signed by Pledgee, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A
waiver by Pledgee or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any
one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which
Pledgee or any Secured Party would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No
failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Pledgee or any
Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies
hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently,
and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the
terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified
or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Pledgee and,
where applicable, by Borrower.
14. Successors and Assigns; Governing Law.
(a) This Security Agreement and all obligations of Borrower hereunder shall
be binding upon the successors and assigns of Borrower, and shall, together with
the rights and remedies of Pledgee and Secured Parties hereunder, inure to the
benefit of Pledgee and Secured Parties, all future holders of the Notes and
their respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other
sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing
or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or
interest therein shall in any manner affect the security interest granted to
Pledgee and Secured Parties hereunder.
(b) THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND BE CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
15. Further Indemnification. Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Pledgee
and Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or
resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other similar
taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of
the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by
this Security Agreement.

16. Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES
HEREUNDER.
17. Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of any other Financing
Document, at such time as (i) the entire unpaid principal balance of the Notes
and all accrued interest thereon have been converted in full in accordance with
Article III of the Purchase Agreement or indefeasibly paid in full ("Payment or
Conversion in Full") and (ii) all other payment obligations under the Notes and
the Purchase Agreement due and owing as of the date of such Payment or
Conversion in Full have been indefeasibly paid in full, this Agreement and the
security interests created hereby shall terminate. Upon termination of this
Agreement and Borrower's written request, Pledgee will, at Borrower's sole cost
and expense, return to Borrower such of the Collateral as shall not have been
sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and
execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination.
