SECTION 2.SEVERANCE PAYMENTS; 280G PAYMENTS.

2.1    Each Eligible Employee who incurs a Severance shall be entitled, subject to the timely execution, return, and non-revocation of the Severance Agreement and Release, to receive from the Company, subject to the conditions set forth in Sections 2.2, 3.4 and 4.2:

(A)     Cash Payments.

(i)    A cash payment equal to the product of (A) the sum of (x) such Eligible Employee’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Severance Date, plus (y) such Eligible Employee’s target annual bonus or incentive opportunity for the year in which the Severance Date occurs; multiplied by (B) in the case of a Tier 1 Employee, 2; in the case of a Tier 2 Employee, 1.5; in the case of a Tier 3 Employee, 1; and in the case of a Tier 4 Employee, 0.5. For purposes of clauses (x) and (y) above, annual base salary and target annual bonus or incentive opportunity shall be the amount in effect immediately prior to the Severance Date without regard to any reductions therein which constitute Good Reason. The cash payment shall be made in a lump sum within 74 days of the Severance Date.

(ii)    A cash payment in satisfaction of any unearned performance cash awards granted to such Eligible Employee prior to the Change in Control, equal to the product of (A) the Company’s actual achievement of the applicable performance measures for the completed fiscal year(s) prior to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the Severance Date occurs, as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion; multiplied by (B) a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of days the Eligible Employee was employed by the Employer during the performance cycle prior to the Eligible Employee’s Severance Date and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in the incomplete performance cycle. Any such performance cash award shall be paid in accordance with its terms.

(B)    Equity Awards.

(i)    All outstanding, unvested Equity Awards granted prior to the Change in Control will accelerate and vest in full as of the later of the Eligible Employee’s Severance Date and last day of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Severance within three (3) months preceding a Change in Control, the Severed Employee shall not forfeit or further vest in any unvested Equity Awards between the Severance Date and the date of the Change in Control but all such Equity Awards shall vest in full upon the effective date of the Change in Control. Such Equity Awards shall be settled in accordance with their terms.

(ii)    Unless the Eligible Employee’s applicable award agreement provides for different treatment on a Change in Control and/or a Severance following a Change in Control, all performance share or performance share unit awards granted to such Eligible Employee prior to the Change in Control which remain unearned and unvested as of the Severance Date shall vest and be earned on the later of the Eligible Employee’s Severance Date or last day of employment. The number of shares underlying the performance shares or performance share units that shall vest and be earned will be based on the product of (A) the Company’s actual achievement of the applicable performance measures for the completed fiscal year(s) prior to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs, as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion; multiplied by (B) a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of days the Eligible Employee was employed by the Employer during the performance cycle prior to the Eligible Employee’s Severance Date and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in the incomplete performance cycle, rounded down to the next whole share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Severance within three (3) months preceding a Change in Control, the Severed Employee shall not forfeit or further vest in any unearned or unvested performance share or performance share unit awards between the Severance Date and the date of the Change in Control but all such awards shall be earned and vest in accordance with the above product upon the effective date of the Change in Control. Such performance share or performance share unit awards shall be settled in accordance with their terms.

(C)    Employee Health Benefits. Provided that the Eligible Employee timely elects continued coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Company shall pay the COBRA premiums of such Eligible Employee’s group medical, dental and vision coverage (including coverage for the Eligible Employee’s eligible dependents who were covered as of the Severance Date), commencing on the date immediately following such Eligible Employee’s Severance Date and continuing for the period set forth in the last sentence of this Section (the “Continuation Period”). Such COBRA premium payments (or the remaining applicable portion(s) thereof if the Eligible Employee becomes covered under the health plan of a subsequent employer that does not provide each of the three types of benefits described below) shall continue until the earlier of the expiration of the Continuation Period and the date on which the Eligible Employee becomes covered by a medical, dental or vision insurance plan of a subsequent employer. Each Eligible Employee shall be required to notify the Company immediately if the Eligible Employee becomes covered by a medical, dental or vision insurance plan of a subsequent employer or otherwise becomes ineligible for COBRA continuation coverage. Subject to earlier expiration in whole or part as described in this subsection (C), the Continuation

Period shall be as follows: (i) in the case of a Tier 1 Employee, for twenty-four months from the Severance Date, (ii) in the case of a Tier 2 Employee, for eighteen months from the Severance Date; (iii) in the case of a Tier 3 Employee, for twelve months from the Severance Date; and (iv) in the case of a Tier 4 Employee, for six months from the Severance Date.

If the Eligible Employee is entitled to have the Company pay COBRA premiums for the Continuation Period under this Section, the Company shall reimburse the Eligible Employee for any COBRA premiums paid during the period between the Severance Date and the date that is 74 days after the Severance Date. No provision of this Plan will affect the continuation coverage rules under COBRA, except that the Company’s payment of any applicable insurance premiums during the Continuation Period will be credited as payment by the Eligible Employee for purposes of the Eligible Employee’s payments required under COBRA. Therefore, the period during which an Eligible Employee may elect to continue the Company’s group health coverage at his or her own expense under COBRA, the length of time during which COBRA coverage will be made available to the Eligible Employee, and all other rights and obligations of the Eligible Employee under COBRA (except the obligation to pay insurance premiums that the Company pays during the Continuation Period) will be applied in the same manner that such rules would apply in the absence of this Plan. At the conclusion of the Continuation Period, the Eligible Employee shall be responsible for the entire payment of premiums required under COBRA for the duration of the COBRA continuation period. For purposes of this Section, applicable premiums that will be paid by the Company during the Continuation Period shall not include any amounts payable by the Eligible Employee under a Section 125 health care reimbursement plan, which amounts, if any, are the sole responsibility of the Eligible Employee. In addition, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing COBRA benefits without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to the Eligible Employee a taxable lump-sum payment in an amount equal to the monthly (or then remaining) COBRA premium payments in effect on the Termination Date (which amount shall be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage).

2.2    280G Payments. This Section 2.2 shall apply with respect to any Eligible Employee who, taking into account the benefit provided under the Plan and all other payments that would be deemed to be “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G (collectively, the “280G Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax under Code Section 4999 (a “Section 2.2 Participant”). Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Section 2.2 Participant’s benefit under the Plan shall be reduced to an amount equal to (i) 2.99 times the Section 2.2 Participant’s “base amount” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G) (ii) minus the value of all other payments that would be deemed to be “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G (but not below zero); provided, however, that the reduction provided by this sentence shall not be made if it would result in a smaller aggregate after-tax payment to the Section 2.2 Participant after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local taxes, including the excise tax under Code Section 4999. Unless the Company and the Section 2.2 Participant otherwise agree in writing, all determinations required to be made under this Section, including the manner and amount of any reduction in the Section 2.2 Participant’s benefits under this Section 2, and the assumptions to be used in arriving at such determinations, shall be made in writing in good faith by the accounting firm serving as the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior

to the events giving rise to the payment of such benefits (the “Accountants”). For the purposes of making the calculations required under this Section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Code Sections 280G and 4999. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section. Any reduction shall be made in the following manner: first a reduction of (i) cash payments subject to Code Section 409A as deferred compensation and (ii) cash payments not subject to Code Section 409A, and second a cancellation of (i) equity-based compensation subject to Code Section 409A as deferred compensation and (ii) equity-based compensation not subject to Code Section 409A.

SECTION 3.PLAN ADMINISTRATION.

3.1    The Plan Administrator shall administer the Plan and shall have the full, discretionary authority to (i) construe and interpret the Plan, (ii) adopt amendments to the Plan which are deemed necessary or desirable to bring the Plan in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation, Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder, (iii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations necessary or desirable for the proper and effective administration of the Plan, (iv) prescribe, amend, modify and waive the various forms and documents to be used in connection with the operation of the Plan and also the times for giving any notice required by the Plan, and (v) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

3.2    The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its duties hereunder to such person or persons from time to time as it may designate, with the exception of duties relating to Eligible Employees whom are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

3.3    The Plan Administrator is empowered, on behalf of the Plan, to engage accountants, legal counsel and such other personnel as it deems necessary or advisable to assist it in the performance of its duties under the Plan. The functions of any such persons engaged by the Plan Administrator shall be limited to the specified services and duties for which they are engaged, and such persons shall have no other duties, obligations or responsibilities under the Plan. Such persons shall exercise no discretionary authority or discretionary control respecting the management of the Plan. All reasonable expenses thereof shall be borne by the Employer.

3.4    Unless such requirement is waived pursuant to Section 3.1, the Plan Administrator shall promptly provide the Severance Agreement and Release to an Eligible Employee who becomes eligible for a payment and benefits under Section 2.1 and shall require an executed Severance Agreement and Release to be returned to the Plan Administrator within no more than forty-five (45) days (or such shorter time period as the Plan Administrator may impose, subject to compliance with applicable law) from the Severance Date. Unless such requirement is waived under Section 3.1, if the Eligible Employee does not execute and return the Severance Agreement and Release to the Plan Administrator within the specified time period, he or she will not be entitled to any payments or benefits under the Plan.

SECTION 4.    PLAN MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION.

4.1    The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3.1 above and Section 4.2 below, any termination of the Plan or modification of the Plan in any material manner shall be void and of no force and effect if such action is taken during any of the following periods and is not required by law: (i) during the period commencing on a Change in Control and ending on the first anniversary of the Change in Control or (ii) during the period commencing on a date twelve (12) months prior to a Change in Control, or (iii) during the period commencing on a date twelve (12) months prior to a Potential Change in Control and ending on the date that is the end of the Potential Change in Control Period.

4.2    Notwithstanding Section 4.1, above, the Plan shall, to the extent possible, be administered to prevent the adverse tax consequences described in Code Section 409A(a)(1) from applying to any payment made under the Plan, and any provision of the Plan that does not further this purpose shall be severed from the Plan and of no force and effect unless the General Counsel in his sole discretion, determine that the provision shall apply. To the extent that any payment under the Plan is subject to a delay pursuant to Code Section 409(A)(a)(2)(B)(i) and the regulations and guidance thereunder, such payment shall be delayed until the date that is 6 months after the Eligible Employee’s separation from service, and no interest shall be paid on any amounts so delayed.

4.3    The Plan shall terminate on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date unless extended by the Company or unless a Change in Control shall have occurred prior thereto and the Plan was not assumed, in which case the Plan shall terminate automatically eighteen months and one day after a Change in Control or, if later, when all benefits payable under the Plan are paid.

SECTION 5.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.

5.1    409A. Any deadline established by the Plan Administrator shall ensure that the payment of any benefit under Section 2.1 is made no more than two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Severance occurs pursuant to the short-term deferral exemption of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required by Code Section 409A, if the period during which the Eligible Employee is permitted to review and revoke the Severance Agreement and Release overlaps two taxable years (regardless of whether such agreement becomes effective during such first taxable year), then any amount payable that is “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and that would have otherwise been paid during such first taxable year shall instead be withheld and paid in the second taxable year.

5.2    No Assignment of Benefits. Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any manner; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Eligible Employee. When a payment is due under this Plan to a Severed Employee who is unable to care for his or her affairs, payment may be made directly to his or her legal guardian or personal representative.

5.3    No Right to Continued Service. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Eligible Employee, or any person whomsoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Employer, and all Eligible Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.

5.4    Notice Period. If an Employer is obligated by law, contract, policy or otherwise to pay severance, a termination indemnity, notice pay, or the like, or if an Employer is obligated by law to provide advance notice of separation (“Notice Period”), then any Severance Payment hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any such severance pay, termination indemnity, notice pay or the like, as applicable, and by the amount of any compensation received during any Notice Period.

5.5    No Duty to Mitigate. A Severed Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(C), shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Plan be reduced by any compensation earned by such a Severed Employee as a result of employment by another employer after the Severance Date or otherwise.

5.6    Withholding. An Employer shall be entitled to withhold from amounts to be paid to the Severed Employee hereunder any U.S. or foreign federal, state, local or foreign withholding or other taxes or charges which it is from time to time reasonably believes it is required to withhold.

5.7    Successors. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties, including, without limitation, each Eligible Employee, present and future, and any successor to the Employer. If a Severed Employee shall die while any amount would still be payable to such Severed Employee under the Plan if the Severed Employee had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan to the executor, personal representative or administrators of the Severed Employee’s estate.

5.8    Severability. If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

5.9    Plan is Unfunded. The Plan shall not be funded. No Eligible Employee shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of any Employer which may be applied by the Employer to the payment of benefits or other rights under this Plan.

5.10    Notice. Any notice or other communication required or permitted pursuant to the terms hereof shall be in writing and shall be given when delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the intended recipient at his, her or its last known address. A written notice of an Eligible Employee’s Severance Date by the Company or the Eligible Employee, as the case may be, to the other shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision of the Plan that is being relied upon; (ii) to the extent applicable, set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Eligible

Employee’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specify the termination date (which date, in the case of a termination by the Eligible Employee for Good Reason, shall be not less than thirty (30), and in all other cases shall be not less than fifteen (15) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Company or the Eligible Employee to provide such notice or to set forth in such notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Company or the Eligible Employee hereunder or preclude the Company or Eligible Employee from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Company’s or the Eligible Employee’s rights hereunder.

5.11    No Right to Other Benefits. Nothing in the Plan shall require the Employer to provide any payment that duplicates any payment, benefit, or grant that an Eligible Employee is entitled to receive under any Employer compensation or benefit plan, award agreement, or other arrangement. Any severance benefit provided under any Employer compensation or benefit plan, award agreement, or other arrangement, including without limitation the Electronic Arts Inc. Severance Benefit Plan, shall offset, on a dollar for dollar basis, any benefits owed under the Plan. The amounts paid or provided under the Plan shall not be treated as compensation for purposes of determining any benefits payable under any Employer retirement, life insurance, or other employee benefit plan unless otherwise required by the terms of the plan or local law.

5.12     Plan Conflicts/Integration. Except to the extent explicitly provided in this Plan, any awards made under any Employer compensation or benefit plan or program shall be governed by the terms of that plan or program and any applicable award agreement thereunder as in effect from time to time. The Plan, as amended from time to time, constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and any Eligible Employee concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes in its entirety any and all plans, agreements and understandings related to the subject matter hereof except as otherwise stated in this Section 5.12 or the Plan.

5.13    Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of California (not including any California law that would require the substantive law of another jurisdiction to apply), to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise control.

5.14    ERISA. Because the Plan is not intended to provide retirement income or result in the systematic deferral of income to termination of employment, the Plan is intended to be an “employee welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of the ERISA, and not an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA. However, to the extent that the Plan (without regard to this Section 5.14) is determined to be an “employee pension benefit plan” because (i) with respect to certain participants the Plan provides for payments in excess of the amount specified in 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-2(b) (the “Severance Pay Regulation”) and (ii) the facts and circumstances indicate the Plan (without regard to this Section 5.14) is not otherwise an “employee welfare benefit plan,” then the following provisions shall apply: The Plan shall be treated as two plans, one of which provides the benefits required by Section 2 not in excess of the safe harbor described in the Severance Pay Regulation and the other of which provides for all other payments and benefits required by Section 2 pursuant to a plan maintained “primarily for the purpose

of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees” as described in Section 201(2) of ERISA.

5.15    Claim Review Process. In the event of a claim for benefits hereunder by an Eligible Employee, such Eligible Employee shall present the reason for his or her claim in writing to the Plan Administrator as set forth Section 5.10. The Plan Administrator shall, within 90 days after receipt of such written claim (unless special circumstances require an extension of time, but in no event more than 180 days after such receipt), send a written notification to the Eligible Employee as to the Plan Administrator’s determination of the claim. In the event the claim is wholly or partially denied, such written notification shall (i) state the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (ii) make specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) provide a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Eligible Employee to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) set forth the procedure by which the Eligible Employee may appeal the denial of his or her claim, including, without limitation, a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA, following an adverse determination on appeal. In the event an Eligible Employee wishes to perfect the claim and/or appeal the denial of his or her claim, he or she must request a review of such denial by making application in writing to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after receipt of such denial. Such Eligible Employee (or his or her duly authorized legal representative), upon written request to the Plan Administrator, shall be permitted to review any documents pertinent to his or her claim, and submit in writing, issues and comments in support of his or her position. Within 60 days after receipt of a written appeal (unless special circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require an extension of time, but in no event more than 120 days after such receipt), the Plan Administrator shall notify the Eligible Employee of the final decision. The final decision shall be in writing and shall include (i) specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, (ii) specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based, (iii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents relevant to the claim for benefits, and (iv) a statement describing the claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. No legal action for benefits under the Plan may be brought in any forum until the Eligible Employee has brought a claim for benefits under the Plan and exhausted the remedies set forth in this Section 5.15. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Plan Administrator does not respond to the Eligible Employees claim or appeal within the relevant time periods set forth above, the Eligible Employee’s claim is deemed to be denied and the Eligible Employee can proceed with a legal action for benefits.
