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 voluntarily agreeing to increase the exercise price of the outstanding option. The other terms of the options remain unchanged. The options are all fully vested and exercisable. For Section 16 reporting purposes only, this has been reflected as the cancellation of the old option and the grant of a replacement option with a higher exercise price.
( 3 )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.
( 4 )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.
( 5 )All options are fully vested and exercisable.

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