with offices at 3100 Ocean Park Boulevard, Santa Monica, California 90405.

         A.   Activision and Licensee entered into that certain License
              Agreement dated as of June 30, 2000 relating to the license by
              Activision to Licensee of rights to convert Activision's

              relating to the licenses by Activision to Licensee of rights to
              convert Activision's entertainment software product entitled Star

              Activision to Licensee of rights to convert Activision's
              entertainment software product entitled Pitfall; The Mayan
              Adventure for use on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance handheld video
              game system (the "Pitfall Agreement") (the SOF Agreement, the
              Elite Force Agreement and the Pitfall Agreement are collectively
              referred to herein as the "Agreements"), and, with respect to all
              of the Agreements, the right to develop, manufacture, advertise,
              promote, distribute and sell such converted entertainment software
              products throughout the world.

         B.   The Agreements prohibit Licensee from sublicensing to a third
              party the rights granted to Licensee by Activision.

         C.   The parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to License Agreement
              dated as of June 28, 2001 ("Amendment No. 1"), which amended each
              of the Agreements and pursuant to which Activision granted
              Licensee the right to sublicense the rights granted to Licensee by
              Activision under (1) the SOF Agreement and the Elite Force
              Agreement to EON (as defined in Amendment No. 1), and (2) the
              Pitfall Agreement to THQ (as defined in Amendment No. 1).

         D.   The parties now desire to further amend the SOF Agreement and the
              Elite Force Agreement to replace EON as a permitted sublicensee
              with another third party, subject to the terms and conditions of
              this Amendment No. 2.

         The parties hereby amend the SOF Agreement and the Elite Force
Agreement as follows:

1.       Right to Sublicense/Replace EON With Codemasters. Notwithstanding
         Section 1.2(a) of the SOF Agreement and the elite Force Agreement,
         Activision hereby grants to Licensee the right to sublicense the rights
         granted to Licensee by Activision under the SOF

                                       4


         Agreement and the Elite Force Agreement to The Codemasters Software
         Company ("Codemasters"), whose principal place of business is at Lower
         Farm House, Stoneythorpe, Southam, Warwichshire, CV47-2DL United
         Kingdom. The parties acknowledge and agree that Codemasters shall
         replace EON as a permitted sublicensee under the SOF Agreement end the
         Elite Force Agreement and that EON shall no longer be a permitted
         sublicensee under either of such Agreements. For the avoidance of
         doubt, Licensee shall not be permitted to sublicense its rights under
         the SOF Agreement and the Elite Force Agreement to any party other than
         Codemasters without Activision's and its licensors' prior written
         approval. The parties agree that, in the event that either Licensee
         fails to reach an agreement with Codemasters with respect to the
         sublicense of the rights under the SOF Agreement and the Elite Force
         Agreement or Codemasters ceases to distribute units of the Product
         pursuant to such sublicense rights, Activision's approval of a new
         sublicensee to replace Codemasters shall not be unreasonably withheld
         (for the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a)
         Activision's disapproval of a sublicense to a direct competitor of
         Activision shall not be deemed to be unreasonable and (b) the approval
         of Activision's licensors may be withheld in each of such licensors
         sole discretion) and in no event shall any Advance in excess of that
         set forth in Section 3 below be required. Nothing in this Amendment No.
         2 or the Agreement shall prevent Codemasters or any other permitted
         sublicensee of Majesco from utilizing Independent distributors or sales
         agents in the distribution of the units of the Product, provided that
         such Independent distributors and sales agents are not engaged in the
         business of publishing entertainment software products and their sole
         purpose is to facilitate distribution of units to retail outlets.

2.       Territory for Codemasters. Licensee shall be permitted to sublicense
         its rights under the SOF Agreement and the Elite Force Agreement to
         Codemasters only with respect to the countries and/or territories
         specifically set forth in Exhibit A2 attached hereto. Licensee shall
         not be permitted to sublicense such rights under the SOF Agreement or
         the Elite Force Agreement with respect to North America or any other
         part of the Territory without Activision's prior written approval.

3.       Additional Advance. Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 Licensee agreed to pay
         Activision an additional nonrefundable, recoupable Advance in the total
         amount of (****) in consideration of the sublicense rights granted to
         Licensee by Activision with respect to EON and the SOF Agreement and
         the Elite Force Agreement (i.e., (****) per each Agreement). In
         consideration of the further rights granted to Licensee pursuant to
         this Amendment No. 2 with respect to Codemasters and the SOF Agreement
         and the Elite Force Agreement, Licensee agrees to pay Activision an
         additional non-refundable Advance in the amount of (****), in addition
         to the (****) payable under Amendment No. 1, bringing the total
         additional non-refundable, recoupable Advance due and payable by
         Licensee with respect to the sublicense of rights under the SOF
         Agreement and the Elite Force Agreement to (****). The parties
         acknowledge and agree that Licensee has already made a payment to
         Activision in the amount of (****) pursuant to Amendment No. 1, thus
         leaving a total balance due of (****). Licensee agrees to pay
         Activision such remaining balance due of (****) via wire transfer
         within one (1) business day of execution of this Amendment No 2. The
         parties further acknowledge and agree that the (****) total additional,
         non-refundable, recoupable Advance due and payable by Licensee shall be

                                        5


         recoupable only from the Royalties due and payable by Licensee to
         Activision pursuant to Section 4 of this Amendment No. 2 pertaining to
         sales or licenses of units of the Product by Codemasters, and shall
         expressly not be recoupable on a cross-collateralized basis with
         respect to any other Royalties due end payable by Licensee to
         Activision under the SOF Agreement and the Elite Force Agreement.

4.       Royalties Due From Sales by Codemasters. Notwithstanding the Royalty
         percentages set forth in Schedule D of the SOF Agreement and the Elite
         Force Agreement or Section 3 of Amendment No. 1, Licensee shall pay
         Activision Royalties equal to (****) of any and all sums invoiced by
         or otherwise due and payable to Licensee (including any advance or
         guarantee payments and royalties), regardless of the actual time of
         receipt or collection by Licensee, with respect to the rights granted
         to Codemasters pursuant to this Amendment No. 2 and from sales or
         licenses of units of the Product by Codemasters pursuant to the
         sublicense rights granted under this Amendment No 2; provided, however,
         that in no event shall Royalties payable to Activision for sales and
         licenses of units of the Product be less than (****) per unit. No
         Royalties shall be due and payable to Activision until such time as
         Licensee has fully recouped the (****) additional Advance set forth in
         Section 3 above.

5.       General Conditions. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 and
         not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings respectively
         ascribed to such terms under the SOF Agreement, the Elite Force
         Agreement and Amendment No. 1. Unless otherwise stated herein, the
         parties agree that all of the terms and conditions contained in the SOF
         Agreement, the Elite Force Agreement and Amendment No. 1 (expressly
         including those terms amending the Pitfall Agreement) shall remain in
