ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

- BY AND BETWEEN -

INTERPLAY ENTERTAINMENT CORP.

- AND -

BETHESDA SOFTWORKS LLC

DATED AS OF APRIL 4, 2007



ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is entered into as of April 4, 2007 (the "EFFECTIVE Date") between BETHESDA  SOFTWORKS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "PURCHASER"), and INTERPLAY ENTERTAINMENT CORP., a Delaware corporation  (the  "SELLER"). Purchaser and  Seller are  sometimes referred to herein individually as a "PARTY" and collectively as the "PARTIES."

RECITALS:

A. On June 29, 2004,  Seller and  Purchaser  entered into an Exclusive Licensing Agreement, amended August 19, 2004 (as amended to date, the "EXCLUSIVE LICENSING  AGREEMENT"),   whereby  Purchaser  acquired  exclusive,   worldwide, perpetual unrestricted intellectual property rights in and to all future uses of every kind to the brand and interactive entertainment software property known as "FALLOUT" and to the "FALLOUT" trademark,  to the extent expressly provided for under the  Exclusive  Licensing  Agreement. Through and  as a  result  of the Exclusive Licensing Agreement,  Purchaser has the unfettered right,  subject to license royalties, to use and exploit the Fallout Intellectual Property (defined below) and is prepared to purchase actual legal  ownership of all right,  title, and interest  in and to the  Fallout  Intellectual  Property  and in the  other Acquired Assets (defined below).

B. The Seller and Purchaser entered into arms' length negotiations for the sale of the Fallout Intellectual Property which would eliminate risk to the Seller concerning the timing and amount of any royalties, if any, to be paid in the future under the Exclusive Licensing  Agreement,  and provide the Seller the fair value of the Fallout Intellectual Property to the extent Purchaser does not already effectively have it under the Exclusive Licensing Agreement,  and would eliminate Purchaser's potential future royalty obligations to the Seller.

C. On November 1, 2006, while the negotiations  between the Seller and Purchaser were  ongoing,   four  petitioning  creditors  filed  an  involuntary bankruptcy petition under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "BANKRUPTCY CODE") against Seller (the "INVOLUNTARY PETITION") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Case No. 06-11994 TA (the "BANKRUPTCY  CASE"),  and on November 30, 2006, Seller answered the Involuntary  Petition in the Bankruptcy Case by filing an Answer of Alleged Debtor To Involuntary Petition seeking to dismiss the Bankruptcy Case.

D. The Seller desires, based on the fair value of the Acquired Assets, to monetize the  benefit of its  bargain  with  Purchaser  under the  Exclusive Licensing Agreement by converting the possibility of contingent future payments from Purchaser  into  certain  amounts to be paid to the Seller by Purchaser as provided in this Agreement. Seller recognizes the  uncertainties  of receiving further advances  and/or future game  royalties  under the Exclusive  Licensing Agreement, and Purchaser is willing to acquire from Seller,  as permitted under Sections 303(f) and 549(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, all right, title and interest in such Acquired Assets, for the cash consideration described herein, which the Parties agree represent the fair value of the Acquired Assets.

E. Purchaser and Seller enter into this Agreement in good faith and for bona fide business reasons and purposes.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

With respect to such advance payments, Purchaser shall be deemed  to be and  constitute  a secured  creditor  of the  Seller  and shall be entitled to a first priority lien over all of the Fallout Intellectual  Property and entitled hereby to make such security  interest  filings  under  applicable federal or state law (including but not limited to with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and Copyright Office and with any and all corresponding or similar  bodies  outside of the United  States) with  respect to all  registered Fallout Intellectual Property as it may deem necessary or appropriate to perfect such security interests. Without limiting the foregoing, any obligation by the Purchaser to pay royalties or any other  monies under the  Exclusive  Licensing Agreement if reinstated  is void.

The Seller has not breached any of the licenses or other agreements governing such Third Party Intellectual Property  Rights,  and, to the  knowledge of the Seller,  no other party to those  agreements  has  breached  those  agreements.

The Seller is not legally bound by any agreements or obligations under which the occurrence of the Closing would (i) obligate the Seller or the  Purchaser  to license or otherwise  grant rights to any other Person in any Fallout  Intellectual  Property (in any case, whether owned or used by the Seller or Purchaser),  (ii) entitle any Person to a release  of any  source  code  escrow,  (iii)  result  in  any  Claim  or  other Encumbrance on the Purchased Intellectual Property, (iv) give rise to any right of any third party to terminate,  or impair in any material  manner,  any Third Party Intellectual  Property  Rights  included  in the  Purchased  Intellectual Property or otherwise contravene or conflict with Purchaser's right to enjoy the benefit of the Third  Party  Intellectual  Property  Rights,  or (v)  otherwise increase any burdens or decrease any rights relating to the Fallout Intellectual Property or any of the other Purchased  Intellectual  Property in any  material manner.

3.10 PERFECTION  OF  OWNERSHIP  RIGHTS. With respect to the  Fallout Intellectual Property:

If the Seller has so acquired Registered Intellectual  Property,  the Seller has,  when  required by         applicable  law,  duly  recorded  each of  these  assignments  with the appropriate governmental  agency, and listed these assignments in PART 3.10(B) OF THE DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE.

3.13 OUTBOUND LICENSES AND RIGHTS. PART 3.13 OF THE DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE lists all agreements,  if any, under which the Seller has licensed or otherwise granted rights in any of the Purchased Intellectual Property to any Person.

Immediately after the  Closing  (subject  to making any  filings  necessary  to perfect  rights),  the  Purchaser  will have sole  rights to bring  actions  for infringement or  misappropriation  of the Fallout  Intellectual  Property. The Seller has not commenced or threatened  any Legal  Proceeding,  or asserted any allegation or claim, against any Person for infringement or misappropriation of the Purchased  Intellectual  Property or breach of any  agreement  involving the Purchased Intellectual  Property,  except  as  indicated  in  PART  3.15 OF THE DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE.

3.16 NO VIOLATION OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.

There are no pending or threatened disputes between the Seller and

8 

any other Person relating to the Purchased Intellectual Property.

3.17 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY. The Seller has taken commercially reasonable and appropriate steps to protect and preserve its trade secrets and all other confidential  information  included in or relevant to the Purchased Intellectual Property.

3.18 NO SPECIAL ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES. None of the Fallout Intellectual Property was developed using any government or university funding or facilities, nor was it obtained from a governmental entity or university. The Seller is not a member of, and is not  obligated  to license  or  disclose  any  Intellectual Property to, any official or de facto standards setting or similar organization or to any organization's members.
