<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>AGREEMENT</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, made as of the 6<SUP>th</SUP> day of May, 2003, by and between Midway Games&nbsp;Inc., a Delaware
corporation, with its principal executive offices at 2704 West Roscoe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60618 ("the Corporation"), and David Zucker, residing
at&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Illinois ("Optionee"). </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>WHEREAS</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, Optionee, who has not previously been employed by the Corporation, is accepting an offer of employment to
serve the Corporation as its President and Chief Executive Officer; and </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>WHEREAS</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, on May&nbsp;6, 2003 Optionee and the Corporation entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the "Employment Agreement")
that, among other matters, requires the Corporation to grant the options provided for in this Agreement and in a separate Stock Option Agreement under the Corporation's 2002 Stock Option Plan (the
"2002 Plan Option Agreement") of even date herewith. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>NOW, THEREFORE</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, as a material inducement to Optionee's entering into the Employment Agreement the Corporation is hereby granting to Optionee an option to
purchase common stock of the Corporation, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock") on the following terms and conditions: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>Option</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee an option (the "Option") to purchase, at any time prior to
5:00&nbsp;p.m. on May&nbsp;5, 2013, up to One Million (1,000,000) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the "Initial Shares") at a price of $3.57 per share. Under
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Option is treated as a non-qualified stock option. The Optionee shall have the right to receive options (the
"Additional Options") to purchase additional shares of Common Stock (the "Additional Shares"), as described in Paragraph&nbsp;9 hereof. The term "Shares", as used hereafter, shall refer to the
Initial Shares with respect to the Option and to Additional Shares with respect to any Additional Options. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>Vesting</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. (a)&nbsp;Subject to paragraph&nbsp;4 hereof, the Option may be exercised for up to 62,500 Initial Shares on
or after November&nbsp;1, 2004 and the remaining 937,500 Initial Shares shall become exercisable in ten equal quarterly installments on the first day of each February, May, August and November
thereafter. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the event of the occurrence of a Change of Control, as provided in Section&nbsp;15 of the Employment Agreement, the Option shall immediately become vested and fully
exercisable with respect to all Shares issuable under the Option and any Additional Options. </FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>Exercise of Option</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. Optionee may exercise the Option in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares), to the extent
vested, by delivering to the Corporation a written notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Exhibit&nbsp;1, </I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>together with payment of the
exercise price for the Shares to be purchased and any taxes required to be paid upon exercise. As soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than 30&nbsp;days, the Corporation shall cause
to be delivered to or at the order of Optionee certificates evidencing the Shares purchased. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>Option Conditioned on Continued Service</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. If the services of Optionee to the Corporation shall be terminated for "cause",
or if Optionee terminates services to the Corporation without "good reason", as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement, the Option shall expire immediately upon such termination. If such
services shall terminate for any other reason, the Option may be exercised at any time within three (3)&nbsp;months after such termination (or within one year after death by Optionee's executor or
administrator); provided that the Option may not be exercised pursuant to this Paragraph except to the extent that Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the time of termination of services
or death; and in any event, the Option may not be exercised after the original expiration date of the Option. </FONT></P>

shares of Common Stock, from time to time, the number of Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option (collectively the "Reserved Shares"). So long as any shares of Common Stock are listed on any
national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Corporation will use its best efforts to cause all of the Reserved Shares to be listed on such exchange or quotation system upon
official notice of issuance. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>Registration or Exemption</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue any Shares if, in the opinion of counsel to the
Corporation, the Shares to be so issued are required to be registered or otherwise qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under any other applicable statute, regulation or
ordinance affecting the sale of securities, unless and until such shares have been so registered or otherwise qualified. The Corporation shall promptly prepare and file&nbsp;a registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") with respect to the issuance of the Shares and shall cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practical but in no
event later than 180&nbsp;days following the date hereof and shall cause such registration statement to remain in effect (together with a resale prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of
the Act) until all of the Shares have been issued to Optionee or his right to receive any Shares terminates or expires, and, with respect to the resale prospectus, until such registration statement is
no longer required for Optionee to publicly offer and sell such Shares. </FONT></P>

duties under the Option may be assumed by a corporation other than the Corporation, or by a parent or subsidiary of the Corporation or such corporation, in connection with any merger, consolidation,
acquisition, separation, reorganization, liquidation or other similar corporate transaction in which the Corporation is involved. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of this
Paragraph&nbsp;8, in the event such corporation, or parent or subsidiary of the Corporation or such corporation, does not substitute new option rights for, and substantially equivalent to, the
Option, or assume the Option, the Option shall terminate and thereupon become null and void (i)&nbsp;upon dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or similar occurrence, (ii)&nbsp;upon any
merger, consolidation, acquisition, separation, reorganization, or similar occurrence, where the Corporation will not be a surviving entity or (iii)&nbsp;upon a transfer of substantially all of the
assets of the Corporation or more than 80% of the outstanding Common Stock in a single transaction; provided, however, that Optionee shall have the right immediately prior to or concurrently with such
dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, acquisition, separation, reorganization or other similar corporate transaction, to exercise any unexpired Option whether or not then exercisable. </FONT></P>

recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares or other
securities of the Corporation, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares or other securities of the Corporation, or other corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an
adjustment is determined by the Corporation to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Option, then the
Corporation shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i)&nbsp;the number of Shares or other securities of the Corporation (or number and kind of other securities or
property) subject to the Option and (ii)&nbsp;the purchase or other price with respect to the Option or, if deemed appropriate by the Corporation, make provision for a cash payment to Optionee
including, if necessary, the termination of the Option. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such adjustment shall be deemed to have prevented any dilution and enlargement of

SIZE=2><B>Right to Acquire Additional Options</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. (a)&nbsp;If the Corporation issues additional shares of Common Stock to persons
other than Optionee after the date hereof under any circumstances whatsoever, whether pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or similar rights or otherwise, but prior to the second anniversary
of the date hereof, and Optionee remains employed pursuant to the Employment Agreement at the time of such issuance, then, on each such occasion, the Corporation shall promptly grant to Optionee an
option to purchase, at any time prior to 5:00&nbsp;p.m. on May&nbsp;5, 2013, Additional Shares in an amount (a)&nbsp;equal to 3.23% of the shares so issued if such issuance occurs prior to the
first anniversary of the date hereof, and (b)&nbsp;equal to the percentage of such shares so issued (but not to exceed 3.23%) determined by dividing (i)&nbsp;the number of Shares then issuable
under unexercised options to purchase Common Stock held by Optionee granted under this Agreement or under the 2002 Plan Option Agreement (collectively, the "Original Option Agreements") immediately
prior to such issuance by (ii)&nbsp;the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance. In each case, the exercise price of each such Additional Option shall be the
closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of issue of such Additional Shares. The number of Additional Shares so issued shall be rounded up (if it includes a fraction that equals or
exceeds .5 shares) or down (if it includes a fraction that is less than .5 shares) to the nearest whole number of shares. In no event will the aggregate number of Additional Shares exceed 2,250,000
shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph&nbsp;8 hereof). If prior to the second anniversary of the date hereof, Optionee's employment under the Employment Agreement is
terminated by the Corporation without "cause", as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement, or Optionee resigns his employment for "good reason" under clauses (i), (ii)&nbsp;or
(iii)&nbsp;of Section&nbsp;14.4 of the Employment Agreement, Optionee's right to receive Additional Options hereunder shall continue until the earlier of (i)&nbsp;90&nbsp;days after such
termination or resignation, and (ii)&nbsp;the second anniversary of the date hereof. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each
Additional Option shall become vested and may be exercised in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph&nbsp;9(b). If none of the options granted under the
Original Option Agreements have been exercised, then each Additional Option may be exercised for up to 25% of the Shares subject thereto on or after May&nbsp;6, 2004, and the remaining 75% of such
Shares shall become exercisable in twelve equal quarterly installments on the first day of each August, November, February and May thereafter. If any options granted under the Original Option
Agreements have been exercised, then each Additional Option may be exercised on the vesting dates of the remaining unexercised Shares issuable under the Original Option Agreements in the proportion
that the remaining unexercised Shares issuable under the Original Option Agreements on such vesting dates bear to the total remaining unexercised Shares. For example, if of the 1,500,000 Shares
issuable under the Original Option Agreements, 300,000 have been exercised leaving 1,200,000 Shares remaining unexercised, and if under the vesting schedule for the Original Options 375,000 Shares
would have been exercisable on May&nbsp;6, 2004, and the balance would have become exercisable as to 93,750 Shares on the first day of each August, November, February and </FONT></P>

1,200,000 remaining Shares would have become exercisable on each August, November, February and May thereafter. Accordingly, with respect to Additional Options, 6.25% would be exercisable on or after
May&nbsp;6, 2004, and the remaining 93.75% would become exercisable in twelve equal quarterly installments of 7.8125% on each August, November, February and May thereafter. If any installment
includes a fraction of a share, such fraction shall be carried forward to subsequent installments. In the event of a "Change of Control," as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement, all
Additional Options shall immediately become fully exercisable. </FONT></P>
