Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the option have been adjusted to reflect splits in the common stock of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (the "Company") that occurred subsequent to the date of grant of the option.
( 2 )The reported transactions result from an agreement with the Company to cancel certain options to return after-tax gains to the Company from improperly priced options that were previously exercised by the reporting person. All options are fully vested and exercisable.
( 3 )The value of the option forfeited was reached pursuant to an agreement between the Company and the reporting person under the Black-Scholes valuation model, based upon what would have been the revised exercise price.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
