Exhibit 10.2

ELECTRONIC ARTS INC.

2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

As Amended by the Stockholders on July 26, 2007

     1. Establishment of Plan. Electronic Arts Inc., (the “Company”) proposes to
grant options for purchase of the Company’s Common Stock to eligible employees of the Company and
its Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to this 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
“Plan”). For purposes of this Plan, “parent corporation” and “Subsidiary” (collectively,
“Subsidiaries”) shall have the same meanings as “parent corporation” and “subsidiary corporation”
in Sections 424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”). The Company intends that the Plan shall feature two components: (i) an “employee stock
purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code (including any amendments or replacements of such
section) for participants residing in the U.S., and (ii) an “employee stock purchase plan” that is
intended to grant purchase rights under rules, procedures or sub-plans that are not intended to
qualify Section 423 of the Code for participants that are not residing in the U.S. Any term not
expressly defined in the Plan but defined for purposes of Section 423 of the Code shall have the
same definition herein. A total of 8,300,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance
under the Plan. Such number shall be subject to adjustments effected in accordance with Section 14
of the Plan.

     2. Purposes. The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its
Subsidiaries designated by the Board of Directors as eligible to participate in the Plan with a
convenient means to acquire an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions, to
enhance such employees’ sense of participation in the affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
and to provide an incentive for continued employment.

     3. Administration. This Plan may be administered by the Board or a committee
appointed by the Board (the “Committee”). The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a
committee appointed by the Board consisting of not less than three (3) persons (who are members of
the Board), each of whom is a disinterested director. As used in this Plan, references to the
“Committee” shall mean either the committee appointed by the Board to administer this Plan or the
Board if no committee has been established. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the
limitations of Section 423 of the Code or any successor provision in the Code, if applicable, all
questions of interpretation or application of the Plan shall be determined by the Committee and its
decisions shall be final and binding upon all participants. Members of the Committee shall receive
no compensation for their services in connection with the administration of the Plan, other than
standard fees as established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company for
services rendered by Board members serving on Board committees. All expenses incurred in
connection with the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

     4. Eligibility. Any employee of the Company or the Subsidiaries is eligible to
participate in an Offering Period (as hereinafter defined) under the Plan except the following:

          (a) employees who are not employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries on the fifteenth (15th)
day of the month before the beginning of such Offering Period;

          (b) employees who, together with any other person whose stock would be attributed to such
employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, own stock or hold options to purchase stock or
who, as a result of being granted an option under the Plan with respect to such Offering Period,
would own stock or hold options to purchase stock possessing five (5) percent or more of the total
combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
and

          (c) employees who would, by virtue of their participation in such Offering Period, be
participating simultaneously in more than one Offering Period under the Plan.

     For employees of Subsidiaries located in the U.S., the following would not be eligible to
participate in an Offering Period:

          (a) employees who are customarily employed for less than 20 hours per week, and

          (b) employees who are customarily employed for less than five (5) months in a calendar year.

     5. Offering Dates. The Offering Periods of the Plan (the “Offering Period”) shall be
of twelve (12) months duration commencing on the first business day of March and September of each
year and ending on the last business day of February and August, respectively, hereafter. The
first Offering Period shall commence on September 1, 2000. The first day of each

E-1

 

Offering Period
is referred to as the “Offering Date”. Each Offering Period shall consist of two (2) six-month
purchase periods (individually, a “Purchase Period”), during which payroll deductions of the
participant are accumulated under this Plan. Each such six-month Purchase Period shall commence on
the first business day of March and September of an Offering Period and shall end on the last
business day of the following August and February, respectively. The last business day of each
Purchase Period is hereinafter referred to as the Purchase Date. The Board of Directors of the
Company shall have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods or Purchase Periods without
stockholder approval if such change is announced at least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled
beginning of the first Offering Period or Purchase Period, as the case may be, to be affected.

     6. Participation in the Plan. Eligible employees may become participants in an
Offering Period under the Plan on the first Offering Date after satisfying the eligibility
requirements by delivering to the Company’s or Subsidiary’s (whichever employs such employee)
payroll department (the “payroll department”) not later than the 15th day of the month before such
Offering Date unless a later time for filing the subscription agreement is set by the Board for all
eligible Employees with respect to a given Offering Period a subscription agreement authorizing
payroll deductions. An eligible employee who does not deliver a subscription agreement to the
payroll department by such date after becoming eligible to participate in such Offering Period
under the Plan shall not participate in that Offering Period or any subsequent Offering Period
unless such employee enrolls in the Plan by filing the subscription agreement with the payroll
department not later than the 15th day of the month preceding a subsequent Offering Date. Once an
employee becomes a participant in an Offering Period, such employee will automatically participate
in the Offering Period commencing immediately following the last day of the prior Offering Period
unless the employee withdraws from the Plan or terminates further participation in the Offering
Period as set forth in Section 11 below. Such participant is not required to file any additional
subscription agreements in order to continue participation in the Plan. Any participant whose
option expires and who has not withdrawn from the Plan pursuant to Section 11 below will
automatically be re-enrolled in the Plan and granted a new option on the Offering Date of the next
Offering Period. A participant in the Plan may participate in only one Offering Period at any
time.

     In jurisdictions where payroll deductions are not permitted under local law, the eligible
employees may participate in the Plan by making contributions in the form that is acceptable and
approved by the Board or Committee.

     7. Grant of Option on Enrollment. Enrollment by an eligible employee in the Plan
with respect to an Offering Period will constitute the grant (as of the Offering Date) by the
Company to such employee of an option to purchase on each Purchase Date up to that number of shares
of Common Stock of the Company determined by dividing the amount accumulated in such employee’s
payroll deduction account during such Purchase Period by the lower of (i) eighty-five percent (85%)
of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the Offering Date (the “Entry
Price”) or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s
Common Stock on the Purchase Date, provided, however, that the number of shares of the Company’s
Common Stock subject to any option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed the lesser of (a)
the maximum number of shares set by the Board pursuant to Section 10(c) below with respect to all
Purchase Periods within the applicable Offering Period or Purchase Period, or (b) 200% of the
number of shares determined by using 85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s
Common Stock on the Offering Date as the denominator. Fair market value of a share of the
Company’s Common Stock shall be determined as provided in Section 8 hereof.

     8. Purchase Price. The purchase price per share at which a share of Common Stock
will be sold in any Offering Period shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of:

          (a) the fair market value on the Offering Date, or

          (b) the fair market value on the Purchase Date.

     For purposes of the Plan, the term “fair market value” on a given date shall mean the closing
bid from the previous day’s trading of a share of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the
NASDAQ National Market System.

     9. Payment of Purchase Price; Changes in Payroll Deductions; Issuance of
Shares.

          (a) The purchase price of the shares is accumulated by regular payroll deductions made during
each Purchase Period. The deductions are made as a percentage of the employee’s compensation in
one percent (1%) increments not less than two percent (2%) nor greater than ten percent (10%).
Compensation shall mean base salary, commissions, overtime, performance bonuses, discretionary
bonuses, stay bonuses, referral bonuses, sabbatical cash outs, shift differentials, and such other
forms of compensation as the Committee, in the exercise of its discretion under the Plan, may
designate as
subject to payroll deductions for purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Compensation shall not include car benefits/allowances, income derived from stock options,
equity-based compensation, or payments made in connection with termination (including, but not
limited to, holiday accrual cash outs, severance pay, separation pay, or ex gratia payments).

E-2

 

Payroll deductions shall commence with the first pay period following the Offering Date and shall
continue to the end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided in the
Plan.

          (b) A participant may lower (but not increase) the rate of payroll deductions during a
Purchase Period by filing with the payroll department a new authorization for payroll deductions,
in which case the new rate shall become effective for the next payroll period commencing more than
15 days after the payroll department’s receipt of the authorization and shall continue for the
remainder of the Offering Period unless changed as described below. Such change in the rate of
payroll deductions may be made at any time during an Offering Period, but not more than one change
may be made effective during any Purchase Period. A participant may increase or lower the rate of
payroll deductions for any subsequent Purchase Period by filing with the payroll department a new
authorization for payroll deductions not later than the 15th day of the month before the beginning
of such Purchase Period.

          (c) Subject to the laws of the local jurisdiction, all payroll deductions made for a
participant are credited to his or her account under the Plan and are deposited with the general
funds of the Company; no interest accrues on the payroll deductions. Subject to the laws of the
local jurisdiction, all payroll deductions received or held by the Company may be used by the
Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll
deductions.

          (d) On each Purchase Date, as long as the Plan remains in effect and provided that the
participant has not submitted a signed and completed withdrawal form before that date which
notifies the Company that the participant wishes to withdraw from that Offering Period under the
Plan and have all payroll deductions accumulated in the account maintained on behalf of the
participant as of that date returned to the participant, the Company shall apply the funds then in
the participant’s account to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock reserved under the
option granted to such participant with respect to the Offering Period to the extent that such
option is exercisable on the Purchase Date. The purchase price per share shall be as specified in
Section 8 of the Plan. Any cash remaining in a participant’s account after such purchase of shares
shall be refunded to such participant in cash; provided, however, that any amount remaining in
participant’s account on a Purchase Date which is less than the amount necessary to purchase a full
share of Common Stock of the Company shall be carried forward, without interest, into the next
Purchase Period or Offering Period, as the case may be. In the event that the Plan has been
oversubscribed, all funds not used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date shall be returned to the
participant. No Common Stock shall be purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of any employee whose
participation in the Plan has terminated prior to such Purchase Date.

          (e) As promptly as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company shall arrange the
delivery to each participant, as appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares purchased
upon exercise of his option; provided that the Board may deliver certificates to a broker or
brokers that hold such certificates in street name for the benefit of each such participant.

          (f) During a participant’s lifetime, such participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder
is exercisable only by him or her. The participant will have no interest or voting right in shares
covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised. Shares to be delivered to a
participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the
participant and his or her spouse.

     10. Limitations on Shares to be Purchased.

          (a) No employee shall be entitled to purchase stock under the Plan at a rate which, when
aggregated with his or her rights to purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans
of the Company or any Subsidiary, exceeds US$25,000 in fair market value, determined as of the
Offering Date (or such other limit as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which
the employee participates in the Plan.

          (b) No more than 200% of the number of shares determined by using 85% of the fair market
value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the Offering Date as the denominator may be
purchased by a participant on any single Purchase Date.

          (c) No employee shall be entitled to purchase more than the Maximum Share Amount (as defined
below) on any single Purchase Date. Not less than thirty days prior to the commencement of any
Purchase Period, the Board may, in its sole discretion, set a maximum number of shares which may be
purchased by any employee at any single Purchase Date (hereinafter the “Maximum Share Amount”). In
no event shall the Maximum Share Amount exceed the amounts permitted under Section 10(b) above. If
a new Maximum Share Amount is set, then all participants must be notified of such Maximum Share
Amount not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of the next Purchase Period. Once
the Maximum
Share Amount is set, it shall continue to apply with respect to all succeeding Purchase Dates and
Purchase Periods unless revised by the Board as set forth above.

E-3

 

          (d) If the number of shares to be purchased on a Purchase Date by all employees participating
in the Plan exceeds the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, the Company
shall make a pro rata allocation of the remaining shares in as uniform a manner as shall be
practicable and as the Board shall determine to be equitable. In such event, the Company shall
give written notice of such reduction of the number of shares to be purchased under a participant’s
option to each employee affected thereby.

          (e) Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not used to
purchase stock due to the limitations in this Section 10 shall be returned to the participant as
soon as practicable after the end of the Offering Period.

     11. Withdrawal.

          (a) Each participant may withdraw from an Offering Period under the Plan by signing and
delivering to the payroll department notice on a form provided for such purpose. Such withdrawal
may be elected at any time at least fifteen (15) days prior to the end of an Offering Period.

          (b) Upon withdrawal from the Plan, the accumulated payroll deductions shall be returned to
the withdrawn employee and his or her interest in the Plan shall terminate. In the event an
employee voluntarily elects to withdraw from the Plan, he or she may not resume his or her
participation in the Plan during the same Offering Period, but he or she may participate in any
Offering Period under the Plan which commences on a date subsequent to such withdrawal by filing a
new authorization for payroll deductions in the same manner as set forth above for initial
participation in the Plan. However, if the participant is an “insider” for purposes of Rule 16(b),
he or she shall not be eligible to participate in any Offering Period under the Plan which
commences less than six (6) months from the date of withdrawal from the Plan.

          (c) A participant may participate in the current Purchase Period under an Offering Period
(the “Current Offering Period”) and enroll in the Offering Period commencing after such Purchase
Period (the “New Offering Period”) by (i) withdrawing from participating in the Current Offering
Period effective as of the last day of a Purchase Period within that Offering Period and (ii)
enrolling in the New Offering Period. Such withdrawal and enrollment shall be effected by filing
with the payroll department at least fifteen (15) days prior to the end of a Purchase Period such
form or forms as are provided for such purposes.

     12. Termination of Employment. Termination of a participant’s employment for any
reason, including retirement or death or the failure of a participant to remain an eligible
employee, terminates his or her participation in the Plan immediately. In such event, the payroll
deductions credited to the participant’s account will be returned to him or her or, in the case of
his or her death, to his or her legal representative. For this purpose, an employee will not be
deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain in the continuous employ of the Company in
the case of sick leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company; provided that such leave is for a period of not more than ninety (90)
days or re employment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute.

     13. Return of Payroll Deductions. In the event an employee’s interest in the Plan is
terminated by withdrawal, termination of employment or otherwise, or in the event the Plan is
terminated by the Board, the Company shall promptly deliver to the employee all payroll deductions
credited to his account. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in
the Plan, unless otherwise required by the laws of a local jurisdiction.

     14. Capital Changes. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the
Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not
yet been exercised and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance
under the Plan but have not yet been placed under option (collectively, the “Reserves”), as well as
the price per share of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been
exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split or the payment of a stock dividend (but only
on the Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of
consideration”. Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the
Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any
class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number
or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.

     In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period
will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise
provided by the Board. The Board may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances,
declare that the options under the Plan shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give
each participant the right to exercise his or her option as to all of the optioned stock, including
shares

E-4

 

which would not otherwise be exercisable. In the event of a proposed sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, each option under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be
substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation,
unless the Board determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption
or substitution, that the participant shall have the right to exercise the option as to all of the
optioned stock. If the Board makes an option exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in
the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Board shall notify the participant that the option
shall be fully exercisable for a period of twenty (20) days from the date of such notice, and the
option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

     The Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision
for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each
outstanding option, in the event that the Company effects one or more reorganizations,
recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding
Common Stock, and in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other
corporation.

     15. Nonassignability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account
nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the Plan may be
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of
descent and distribution or as provided in Section 22 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt
at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect.

     16. Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the
Plan. Each participant shall receive promptly after the end of each Purchase Period a report of
his account setting forth the total payroll deductions accumulated, the number of shares purchased,
the per share price thereof and the remaining cash balance, if any, carried forward to the next
Purchase Period or Offering Period, as the case may be.

     17. Notice of Disposition. Each participant shall notify the Company if the
participant disposes of any of the shares purchased in any Offering Period pursuant to this Plan if
such disposition occurs within two (2) years from the Offering Date or within twelve (12) months
from the Purchase Date on which such shares were purchased (the “Notice Period”). Unless such
participant is disposing of any of such shares during the Notice Period, such participant shall
keep the certificates representing such shares in his or her name (and not in the name of a
nominee) during the Notice Period. The Company may, at any time during the Notice Period, place a
legend or legends on any certificate representing shares acquired pursuant to the Plan requesting
the Company’s transfer agent to notify the Company of any transfer of the shares. The obligation
of the participant to provide such notice shall continue notwithstanding the placement of any such
legend on certificates.

     18. No Rights to Continued Employment. Neither this Plan nor the grant of any option
hereunder shall confer any right on any employee to remain in the employ of the Company or any
Subsidiary or restrict the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate such employee’s
employment.

     19. Equal Rights and Privileges. All eligible employees shall have equal rights and
privileges with respect to the Plan. The Section 423 component of the Plan is intended to qualify
as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 or any successor provision
of the Code and the related regulations. Any provision of the Section 423 component of the Plan
which is inconsistent with Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code shall without further
act or amendment by the Company or the Board be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section
423. This Section 19 shall take precedence over all other provisions in the Plan.

     20. Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company
under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the
form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the
receipt thereof.

     21. Stockholder Approval of Amendments. Any required approval of the stockholders of
the Company for an amendment shall be solicited at or prior to the first annual meeting of
stockholders held subsequent to the grant of an option under the Plan as then amended to an officer
or director of the Company. If such stockholder approval is obtained at a duly held stockholders’
meeting, it must be obtained by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the company represented and voting at the meeting, or if such stockholder
approval is obtained by written consent, it must be obtained by the majority of the outstanding
shares of the Company; provided, however, that approval at a meeting or by written consent may be
obtained by a lesser degree of stockholder approval if the Board determines, in its discretion
after consultation with the Company’s legal counsel, that such lesser degree of stockholder
approval will comply with all
applicable laws and will not adversely affect the qualification of the Section 423 component of the
Plan under Section 423 of the Code or Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”).

E-5

 

22. Designation of Beneficiary

          (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any
shares and cash, if any, from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such
participant’s death subsequent to the end of a Purchase Period but prior to delivery to him of such
shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is
to receive any cash from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such
participant’s death prior to a Purchase Date.

          (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by written
notice. In the event of the death of a participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly
designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such participant’s death, the Company shall
deliver such shares or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or
if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the
Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares or cash to the spouse or to any one or more
dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the
Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

     23. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares; Limitation on Sale of Shares. Shares shall
not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and
delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law,
domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock
exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of
counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

     24. Applicable Law. Except as otherwise expressly required under the laws of a
country, the Plan and all rights thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the state of California, United States of America. Should any provision of this Plan
be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful or unenforceable for a country,
such determination shall in no way affect the application of that provision in any other country,
or any of the remaining provisions of the Plan.

     25. Amendment or Termination of the Plan. This Plan shall be effective on the day
after the effective date of the Company’s Registration Statement filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the shares issuable under
the Plan (the “Effective Date”), subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within
twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors of the company and
the Plan shall continue until the earlier to occur of termination by the Board, issuance of all of
the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan, or ten (10) years from the
adoption of the Plan by the Board. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time amend or
terminate the Plan, except that any such termination cannot affect options previously granted under
the Plan, nor may any amendment make any change in an option previously granted which would
adversely affect the right of any participant, nor may any amendment be made without approval of
the stockholders of the Company obtained in accordance with Section 21 hereof within 12 months of
the adoption of such amendment (or earlier if required by Section 21) if such amendment would:

          (a) Increase the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan;

          (b) Change the designation of the employees (or class of employees) eligible for
participation in the Plan; or

          (c) Constitute an amendment for which stockholder approval is required in order to comply
with Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule) of the Exchange Act.

     26. Rules for Foreign Jurisdictions.

          (a) The Board or Committee may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and
administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of the law and procedures of
foreign jurisdictions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board or Committee is
specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll deductions,
payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling
of stock certificates that vary with local requirements.

          (b) The Board or Committee may also adopt rules, procedures or sub-plans applicable to
particular subsidiaries or locations, which —sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of
Code Section 423. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this
Plan, with the exception of Section 3, but unless otherwise superceded by the terms of such
sub-plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan. To extent
inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 423, such sub-plan shall be considered part of
the Non-423 Plan, and options granted thereunder shall not be considered to comply with Code
Section 423.

E-6

 

     27. Designation of Subsidiaries. The Board or Committee shall designate from among
the Subsidiaries, as determined from time to time, the Subsidiary or Subsidiaries whose Employees
shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Board or Committee may designate a Subsidiary,
or terminate the designation of a Subsidiary, without the approval of the shareowners of the
Corporation.

ELECTRONIC ARTS INC. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2005

Purpose

     The purpose of this Plan is to provide specified benefits to a select group of management or
highly compensated Employees and Directors who contribute materially to the continued growth,
development and future business success of Electronic Arts Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its
subsidiaries that sponsor this Plan. This Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes
of Title I of ERISA. This Plan shall amend and supersede in its entirety the Predecessor
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. Any and all balances accrued by a Participant under such
predecessor plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and shall be referred to
as the “Rollover Account.”

     This Plan as amended and restated is intended to comply with section 409A of the Code in order
to avoid compensation deferred under the Plan which is subject to section 409A of the Code from
being included in the gross income of participants under such section and the Plan shall be
interpreted consistent with such intent.

ARTICLE 1

Definitions

     For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the context, the following
phrases or terms shall have the following indicated meanings:

	1.1	 	“401(k) Plan” shall be that Electronic Arts Inc. 401(k) Plan.
	 
	1.2	 	“Account Balance” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, a credit on the records of the
Employer equal to the sum of (i) the Rollover Account balance, (ii) the Deferral Account
balance, (iii) the vested Company Restoration Matching Account balance, and (iv) the vested
Company Contribution Account balance. The Account Balance, and each other specified account
balance, shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the
measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Participant, or his or her
designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan.
	 
	1.3	 	“Accounting Firm” shall have the same meaning as set forth in Section 3.10(e).
	 
	1.4	 	“Administrator” shall have the same meaning as set forth in Section 11.2.
	 
	1.5	 	“Annual Base Salary” shall mean the annual cash compensation relating to services performed
during the period beginning on January 1 of a calendar year and ending on December 31 of the
same calendar year (while the Employee is a Participant in the Plan), whether or not paid in
such year or included on the Federal Income Tax Form W-2 for such year, excluding bonuses,
commissions, overtime, fringe benefits, stock options, restricted stock, relocation expenses,
unused and unpaid excess vacation days, incentive

1

 

	 	 	payments, non-monetary awards, directors fees and other fees, automobile and other
allowances paid to a Participant for employment services rendered (whether or not such
allowances are included in the Employee’s gross income). Annual Base Salary shall be
calculated before reduction for compensation voluntarily deferred or contributed by the
Participant pursuant to all qualified or non-qualified plans of any Employer and shall be
calculated to include amounts not otherwise included in the Participant’s gross income under
sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) of the Code pursuant to plans established by any
Employer; provided, however, that all such amounts will be included in compensation only to
the extent that, had there been no such plan, the amount would have been payable in cash to
the Employee.

	1.6	 	“Annual Bonus” shall mean any compensation, in addition to Annual Base Salary, relating to
services performed during any Fiscal Year, and paid during the Plan Year, under any Employer’s
annual or quarterly bonus and/or cash incentive plans; notwithstanding the foregoing, “Annual
Bonus” shall exclude compensation derived from awards made under any equity incentive, change
in control, or severance plans or arrangements that the Company adopts, which includes
compensation that an employee incurs from the exercise of a stock option or lapse of
restrictions on an award of stock.
	 
	1.7	 	“Annual Company Contribution Amount” shall mean, for any one Plan Year, the amount determined
in accordance with Section 3.7.
	 
	1.8	 	“Annual Company Restoration Matching Amount” shall mean, for any one Plan Year, the amount
determined in accordance with Section 3.8.
	 
	1.9	 	“Annual Deferral Amount” shall mean that portion of a Participant’s Annual Base Salary,
Annual Bonus and Directors Fees that a Participant elects to have, and is deferred, in
accordance with Article 3, for any one Plan Year. In the event of a Participant’s suspension
of deferrals due to Disability (if deferrals cease in accordance with Section 7.1(b)), in
connection with a 401(k) Plan hardship withdrawal or death prior to the end of a Plan Year,
such year’s Annual Deferral Amount shall be the actual amount withheld prior to such event.
	 
	1.10	 	“Annual Installment Method” shall be an annual installment payment over the number of years
(not to exceed 10) selected by the Participant in accordance with this Plan, calculated as
follows: The Account Balance of the Participant shall be calculated as of the most recent
Valuation Date. The annual installment shall be calculated by multiplying this balance by a
fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the remaining number
of annual payments due the Participant. By way of example, if the Participant elects a
10-year Annual Installment Method, the first payment shall be 1/10 of the Account Balance as
of the most recent Valuation Date. The following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of the
Account Balance as of the most recent Valuation Date. Each annual installment shall be paid
as soon as practicable after the amount is calculated, but not later than 90 days after the
Valuation Date.

2

 

	1.11	 	“Beneficiary” shall mean one or more persons, trusts, estates or other entities, designated
in accordance with Article 8, that are entitled to receive benefits under this Plan upon the
death of a Participant.
	 
	1.12	 	“Beneficiary Designation Form” shall mean the form established from time to time by the
Committee that a Participant completes, signs and returns to the Committee to designate one or
more Beneficiaries.
	 
	1.13	 	“Board” shall mean the board of directors of the Company, or a committee or individual(s)
acting pursuant to a valid delegation of authority from such board of directors.
	 
	1.14	 	“Change in Control” shall mean a change in the ownership of the Company, or a change in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as defined in the regulations
promulgated under section 409A of the Code.
	 
	1.15	 	“Claimant” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 13.1.

Participant’s Company Contribution Account, less (iii) all distributions made to the
Participant or his or her Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan that relate to the Participant’s

Participant or his or her Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan that relate to the Participant’s
Company Restoration Matching Account.
	 
	1.21	 	“Deduction Limitation” shall mean the following delayed payment on a benefit that may
otherwise be distributable pursuant to the provisions of this Plan. A distribution to a
Participant may be delayed if an Employer determines in good faith that there is a reasonable
likelihood that any compensation paid to a Participant for a taxable year of the Employer
would not be deductible by the Employer solely by reason of the limitation under section
162(m) of the Code; provided, however, that such delay shall be in compliance with Treasury
Regulation § 1.409A-2(b)(7) and the amounts so deferred and amounts credited thereon shall be
distributed to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary

3

 

	 	 	during such year such payment will not fail to be deductible because of section 162(m) of
the Code.

	1.22	 	“Deferral Account” shall mean (i) the sum of all of a Participant’s Annual Deferral Amounts,
plus (ii) amounts credited in accordance with all the applicable crediting provisions of this

	1.29	 	“Employer(s)” shall mean the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries (now in existence or
hereafter formed or acquired) that have been selected by the Board to participate in the Plan
and have adopted the Plan as a sponsor.
	 
	1.30	 	“ERISA” shall mean the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as it may be amended
from time to time.
	 
	1.31	 	“Fiscal Year” shall mean the fiscal year of the Company as reported on its Form 10-K for the

whose Plan Agreement has not terminated. A spouse or former spouse of a Participant shall not
be treated as a Participant in the Plan or have an account balance under the Plan, even if he
or she has an interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan as a result of applicable
law or property settlements resulting from legal separation or divorce.
	 
	1.36	 	“Plan” shall mean the Electronic Arts Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended from time

Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, designates as a Valuation Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Valuation Date may
be different for different Participants.
	 
	1.49	 	“Years of Service” shall mean the total number of years in which a Participant has been
employed by one or more Employers. For purposes of this definition, a year of employment
shall be a 365 day period (or 366 day period in case of a leap year) that, for the first year
of employment, commences on the Employee’s date of hiring and that, for any subsequent year,
commences on an anniversary of that hiring date. The Committee shall make a determination as
to the number of Years of Service a Participant shall be deemed to have completed, including
whether any partial year of employment shall be counted, and any such determination may, in
the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee, take into account any similar definitions
or provisions contained in the 401(k) Plan.

ARTICLE 2

Selection/Enrollment/Eligibility

	2.1	 	Selection by Committee. Eligibility for the Plan shall be limited to a select group
of management or highly compensated Employees and Directors of the Employers, as

6

 

determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. From that group, the
Committee shall select, in its sole and absolute discretion, Employees and Directors to
participate in the Plan.

	2.2	 	Enrollment Requirements. As a condition to participation, each newly selected
Employee or Director shall complete, execute and return to the Committee a Plan Agreement and
an Election Form and a Beneficiary Designation Form, all within 30 days after he or she is
first selected to participate in the Plan. An Election Form submitted under this Section 2.2
shall be irrevocable on the day after the 30-day period ends. In addition, the Committee
shall establish from time to time such other enrollment requirements (including additional
forms) as it determines are necessary in its sole and absolute discretion.
	 
	2.3	 	Eligibility; Commencement of Participation. Provided an Employee or Director
selected to participate in the Plan has met all enrollment requirements set forth in this Plan
and required by the Committee, including returning all required forms and documents to the
Committee within the specified time period, that Employee or Director shall commence
participation in the Plan on the first day of the month following the month in which the
Employee or Director completes all enrollment requirements. If an Employee or a Director
fails to meet all such requirements within the required period, in accordance with Section
2.2, that Employee or Director shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan until the
first day of the Plan Year following the delivery to and acceptance by the Committee of the
required documents.
	 
	2.4	 	Termination of Participation and/or Deferrals. If the Committee determines in good
faith that a Participant no longer qualifies as a member of a select group of management or
highly compensated employees, as membership in such group is determined in accordance with
sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA, the Committee shall have the right, in its
sole and absolute discretion, to prevent the Participant from making future deferral
elections. If a Participant receives a distribution on account of an hardship withdrawal from
the 401(k) Plan, such Participant’s deferral election shall be cancelled and the Participant
may not defer any amounts under this Plan for a period of at least six months, as the Company
determines in its discretion.

ARTICLE 3

If an election is made for less than such minimums or if no election is made, the
amount deferred shall be zero.

	 	(b)	 	Short Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant first
becomes a Participant after the first day of a Plan Year, or in the case of the First
Plan Year of this Plan, the minimum Annual Deferral Amount shall be an amount equal to
the minimum set forth above, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of complete months remaining in the Plan Year and the denominator of which is

	Annual Base Salary
	 	 	75	%
	Annual Bonus
	 	 	100	%
	Director Fees

	 	(b)	 	Short Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant first
becomes a Participant after the first day of a Plan Year, or in the case of the first
Plan Year of the Plan itself, the maximum Annual Deferral Amount with respect to Annual
Base Salary, Annual Bonus and/or Director Fees shall be limited to the amount of
compensation not yet earned by the Participant as of the first day of the month
following the month in which the Employee or Director’s Election Form becomes
irrevocable.

3.3 Election to Defer; Effect of Election Form.

	 	(a)	 	First Plan Year. In connection with a Participant’s commencement of
participation in the Plan, the Participant shall make an irrevocable deferral election
for the Plan Year in which the Participant commences participation in the Plan, along
with such other elections as the Committee deems necessary or desirable under the Plan.
For these elections to be valid, the Election Form must be completed and signed by the
Participant, timely delivered to the Committee (in accordance with Section 2.2 above)
and accepted by the Committee.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Subsequent Plan Years. For each Plan Year subsequent to the first Plan
Year as described in subsection (a) above, a deferral election for that Plan Year, and
such other elections as the Committee deems necessary or desirable under the Plan,

8

 

shall be made by timely delivering to the Committee, in accordance with the
Committee’s rules and procedures, a new Election Form but, subject to paragraph (c)
below, no later than the last day of the calendar year preceding the year in which
the Annual Deferral Amounts are earned by the Participant. An Election Form
delivered under this subsection (b) shall be irrevocable at such time the Committee
determines, which date will be provided in the Election Form, but not later than the
last day of the calendar year preceding the Plan Year. If no such Election Form is
timely delivered for a Plan Year, the Annual Deferral Amount shall be zero for that
Plan Year.

	 	(c)	 	Elections to Defer Performance-Based Compensation. The Company, in its
discretion, may permit a separate election to defer performance-based compensation as
defined in treasury regulation section 1.409A-1(e) of the Code, and such election may
be made no later than six months prior to the end of the applicable performance period;
provided, however, that such election shall be made prior to the date that such
performance-based compensation is readily ascertainable.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Special Distribution Election on or before December 31, 2007.
Participants who are identified by the Committee, in its sole discretion, may make a
special distribution election to receive a distribution of their Account Balance in
calendar year 2008 or later; provided that the distribution election is made at least
twelve months in advance of the newly elected distribution date (and the previously
scheduled distribution date, if any) and the election is made no later than December
31, 2007. An election made pursuant to this Section 3.3(d) shall be subject to any
special administrative rules imposed by the Committee including rules intended to
comply with section 409A of the Code. No election under this Section 3.3(d) shall (i)
change the payment date of any distribution otherwise scheduled to be paid in 2007 or
cause a payment to be paid in 2007, or (ii) be permitted after December 31, 2007.

	3.4	 	Form of Distributions. For each Plan Year a Participant shall elect whether
deferrals, and associated earnings or losses, will be distributed as a Short-Term Payout or
Termination Benefit.

	 	(a)	 	Short-Term Payout. In connection with each election to defer an Annual
Deferral Amount, a Participant may irrevocably elect to receive a future “Short-Term
Payout” from the Plan with respect to a portion or all of such Annual Deferral Amount.
Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the Short-Term Payout shall be a lump sum payment
in an amount equal to the portion of the Annual Deferral Amount elected for such
Short-Term Payout by the Participant and credited earnings or losses as determined
under Section 3.11, determined at the time that the Short-Term Payout becomes payable
(rather than the date of a Separation from Service).
	 
	 	(b)	 	Termination Benefit. In connection with each election to defer an
Annual Deferral Amount, a Participant may elect to receive his or her Termination

9

 

	 	 	 	Benefit in a lump sum or pursuant to the Annual Installment Method. A “Termination
Benefit” includes the Annual Deferral Amount that the Participant designates as a
Termination Benefit on his or her Election Form, the Participant’s Annual Company
Restoration Matching Amount, the vested portion of the Participant’s Annual Company
Contribution Amount, and credited earnings or losses as determined under Section 3.9
for the aggregate amounts in the same Plan Year.
	 
	 	 	 	The Participant may change his or her election to an allowable alternative payout
period by submitting new Election Form to the Committee; provided that any such
Election Form is not effective for 12 months, submitted at least twelve months prior
to the date the Participant Separates from Service or otherwise is scheduled to
receive a payment, the scheduled date of payment is at least five years subsequent
to the originally scheduled date of payment, and is accepted by the Committee, in
its sole and absolute discretion. A change to the form of distribution of a
Termination Benefit may be modified or revoked until twelve months prior to the time
a Participant Separates from Service, at which time such change shall become
irrevocable. The last valid Election Form accepted by the Committee shall govern
the payout of the Termination Benefit.
	 
	 	 	 	If a Participant does not make any election with respect to the form of
distribution, then such payment shall be deemed to be a Termination Benefit. If a
Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of the
Termination Benefit, then such benefit shall be payable in a lump sum. The Company
may determine the form of payment of a Participant’s Annual Company Contribution
Amount if the Participant has not made an election with respect to such amount;
provided, however, if the Company does not determine the form of payment at the time
it credits a Participant’s Annual Company Contribution Amount, then such amount
shall be payable in a lump sum.

	3.5	 	Withholding of Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year, the Annual Base Salary
portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld from each regularly scheduled Annual
Base Salary payroll in equal amounts over each pay period, as adjusted from time to time for
increases and decreases in Annual Base Salary. The Annual Bonus and/or Director Fees portion
of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld at the time the Annual Bonus or Director Fees
are or otherwise would be paid to the Participant, whether or not this occurs during the Plan
Year itself.
	 
	3.6	 	Rollover Amount. If an Employee has an account balance in the Predecessor
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, an amount equal to his/her account balance valued as
of March 31, 2003 shall be credited to the Participant’s Rollover Account under this Plan on
April 1, 2003. The Rollover Amount shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan
and any Participant with a Rollover Amount shall have no right to demand distribution of such
amounts other than as provided for herein.
	 
	3.7	 	Annual Company Restoration Matching Amount. A Participant’s Annual Company
Restoration Matching Amount for any Plan Year shall be equal to an amount that is

10

 

	 	 	determined pursuant to the following three steps: (i) calculate the Company matching
contribution that would have been made to the Participant’s account in the Company’s 401(k)
Plan had the Participant’s Annual Deferral Amount in this Plan been zero; (ii) calculate the
Company matching contribution that was actually made to the Participant’s account in the
Company’s 401(k) Plan; (iii) subtract item (ii) from item (i). The amount so credited to a
Participant under this Plan shall be for that Participant the Annual Company Restoration
Matching Amount for that Plan Year and shall be credited to the Participant’s Company
Restoration Matching Account on a date or dates to be determined by the Committee, in its
sole and absolute discretion.

	3.8	 	Annual Company Contribution Amount. For each Plan Year, an Employer, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may, but is not required to, credit any amount it desires to any
Participant’s Company Contribution Account under this Plan, which amount shall be for that
Participant the Annual Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. The amount so credited
to a Participant may be greater or less than the amount credited to any other Participant, and
the amount credited to any Participant for a Plan Year may be zero, even though one or more
other Participants receive an Annual Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. The
Annual Company Contribution Amount, if any, shall be credited on a date or dates to de be
determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, and the crediting date or
dates may be different for different Participants. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
or the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is not employed by an Employer as of the last
day of a Plan Year other than by reason of his or her death while employed, the Annual Company
Contribution Amount for that Plan Year shall be zero.
	 
	3.9	 	Investment of Trust Assets. The trustee of the Trust shall be authorized, upon
written instructions received from the Committee or investment manager appointed by the
Committee, to invest and reinvest the assets of the Trust in accordance with the applicable
Trust Agreement.

3.10 Vesting.

	 	(a)	 	A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his or her Rollover Account
and Deferral Account.
	 
	 	(b)	 	A Participant shall be vested in his or her Company Contribution Account in
accordance with the vesting schedules established by the Committee, in its sole and
absolute discretion, for each Annual Company Contribution Amount (and amounts credited
or debited thereon) at the time such Annual Company Contribution Amount is first
credited to the Participant’s Account Balance under the Plan. The Committee, in its
sole and absolute discretion, will determine over what period of time and in what
percentage increments a Participant shall vest in his or her Company Contribution
Account. The Committee may establish different vesting schedules for different
Participants, in its sole and absolute discretion.

11

 

	 	(c)	 	A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his or her Annual Company
Restoration Matching Account.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, except as provided in
subsection (e) below, in the event of a Change in Control, a Participant’s Company
Contribution Account shall immediately become 100% vested (without regard to whether it
is already vested in accordance with the above vesting schedules).
	 
	 	(e)	 	Notwithstanding subsection (d) above, the vesting schedule for a Participant’s
Company Contribution Account shall not be accelerated to the extent that the Committee
determines that such acceleration would cause the deduction limitations of section 280G
of the Code to become effective. In the event that all of a Participant’s Company
Contribution Account is not vested pursuant to such a determination, the Participant
may request independent verification of the Committee’s calculations with respect to
the application of section 280G of the Code. In such case, the Committee must provide
to the Participant within 30 business days of such a request an opinion from a
regionally-recognized accounting firm selected by the Committee in its sole and
absolute discretion (the “Accounting Firm”). The opinion shall state the Accounting
Firm’s opinion that any limitation in the vested percentage hereunder is necessary to
avoid the limits of section 280G of the Code and contain supporting calculations. The
cost of such opinion shall be paid for by the Company.

	3.11	 	Crediting/Debiting of Account Balances. In accordance with, and subject to, the
rules and procedures that are established from time to time by the Committee, in its sole and
absolute discretion, amounts shall be credited or debited to a Participant’s Account Balance
in accordance with the following rules:

	 	(a)	 	Election of Measurement Funds. A Participant, in connection with his
or her initial deferral election in accordance with Section 3.3(a) above, shall elect,
on the Election Form, one or more Measurement Fund(s) to be used to determine the
additional amounts to be credited to his or her Account Balance for the first business
day in which the Participant commences participation in the Plan and continuing
thereafter for each subsequent day in which the Participant participates in the Plan,
unless changed in accordance with the next sentence. Commencing with the first
business day that follows the Participant’s commencement of participation in the Plan
and continuing thereafter for each subsequent day in which the Participant participates
in the Plan, the Participant may (but is not required to) elect, by submitting an
Election Form to the Committee that is accepted by the Committee, to add or delete one
or more Measurement Fund(s) to be used to determine the additional amounts to be
credited to his or her Account Balance, or to change the portion of his or her Account
Balance allocated to each previously or newly elected Measurement Fund. If an election
is made in accordance with the previous sentence, it shall apply to the next business
day and continue thereafter for each subsequent day in which the Participant
participates in the Plan, unless changed in accordance with the previous sentence.

12

 

	 	(b)	 	Proportionate Allocation. In making any election described in Section
3.11(a) above, the Participant shall specify on the Election Form, in increments of
five percentage points (5%), the percentage of his or her Account Balance to have gains
and losses measured by a Measurement Fund.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Measurement Funds. From time to time, the Committee in its sole and
absolute discretion shall select and announce to Participants its selection of mutual
funds, insurance company separate accounts, indexed rates or other methods (each, a
“Measurement Fund”), for the purpose of providing the basis on which gains and losses
shall be attributed to Account Balances under the Plan. The Committee may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, discontinue, substitute or add a Measurement Fund at any time.
Each such action will take effect as of the first day of the month that follows by 30
days the day on which the Committee gives Participants advance written notice of such
change.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Crediting or Debiting Method. The performance of each elected
Measurement Fund (either positive or negative) will be determined by the Committee, in
its reasonable discretion, based on available reports of the performance of the
Measurement Funds. A Participant’s Account Balance shall be credited or debited on a
daily basis based on the performance of each Measurement Fund selected by the
Participant, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, as
though (i) a Participant’s Account Balance were invested in the Measurement Fund(s)
selected by the Participant, in the percentages applicable to such day, as of the close
of business on such day, at the closing price on such date; (ii) the portion of the
Annual Deferral Amount that was actually deferred during any day were invested in the
Measurement Fund(s) selected by the Participant, in the percentages applicable to such
day, no later than the close of business on the first business day after the day on
which such amounts are actually deferred from the Participant’s Annual Base Salary
through reductions in his or her payroll, at the closing price on such date; and (iii)
any distribution made to a Participant that decreases such Participant’s Account
Balance ceased being invested in the Measurement Fund(s), in the percentages applicable
to such day, no earlier than one business day prior to the distribution, at the closing
price on such date.
	 
	 	(e)	 	No Actual Investment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan
that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for
measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such Measurement Fund,
the allocation to his or her Account Balance thereto, the calculation of additional
amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account
Balance shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of
his or her Account Balance in any such Measurement Fund. In the event that the Company
or the trustee (as that term is defined in the Trust), in its own discretion, decides
to invest funds in any or all of the Measurement Funds, no Participant shall have any
rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a
Participant’s Account Balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall
not represent any

13

 

	 	 	 	investment made on his or her behalf by the Company or the Trust; the Participant
shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company.

	3.12	 	FICA and Other Taxes.

	 	(a)	 	Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year in which an Annual
Deferral Amount is being withheld from an Employee Participant, the Participant’s
Employer(s) shall withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Annual Base Salary
and/or Annual Bonus that is not being deferred, in a manner determined by the
Employer(s), the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes on such Annual
Deferral Amount. If necessary, the Committee may reduce the Annual Deferral Amount in
order to comply with this Section.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Company Restoration Matching Amounts. For a Participant’s Company
Restoration Matching Amount, the Participant’s Employer(s) shall withhold from the
Participant’s Annual Base Salary and/or Annual Bonus that is not deferred, in a manner
determined by the Employer(s), the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment
taxes. If necessary, the Committee may reduce the vested portion of the Participant’s
Company Restoration Matching Account in order to comply with this Section.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Other Amounts. When an Employee Participant becomes vested in a
portion of his or her Annual Company Contribution Amounts, the Participant’s
Employer(s) shall withhold from the Participant’s Annual Base Salary and/or Annual
Bonus that is not deferred, in a manner determined by the Employer(s) in its sole and
absolute discretion, the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes on the
portion of the Annual Company Contribution Amounts that becomes vested. If necessary,
the Committee may reduce the vested portion of the Participant’s aforementioned amounts
in order to comply with this Section.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Distributions. The Participant’s Employer(s), or the trustee of the
Trust, shall withhold from any payments made to a Participant under this Plan all
federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld by
the Employer(s), or the trustee of the Trust, in connection with such payments, in
amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Employer(s) and the trustee of the Trust.

ARTICLE 4

Short-Term Payout/Unforeseeable Financial Emergencies/ Withdrawal Election

	4.1	 	Short-Term Payout. Subject to the Deduction Limitation and the other terms and
conditions of this Plan, each Short-Term Payout elected shall be paid out during a 60-day
period commencing immediately after the last day of any Plan Year designated by the
Participant that is at least three Plan Years after the end of the Plan Year in which the
Annual Deferral Amount is actually deferred. By way of example, if a three year Short-Term
Payout is elected for Annual Deferral Amounts that are deferred in the Plan Year commencing
January 1, 2006, the three year Short-Term Payout would become payable

14

 

	 	 	during a 60-day period commencing January 1, 2010. In addition, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 4.1, Section 4.2 and all other provisions of this Plan, any
similar elections made pursuant to the terms of the Predecessor Nonqualified Deferred
Compensation Plan, shall be deemed to remain in effect under this Plan. The distribution
date selected by a Participant in connection with such election(s) under the Predecessor
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan shall remain binding on the parties. The Committee
shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine how any amounts deferred under the
Predecessor Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan shall be treated pursuant to the
language of Article 4 and the Plan.
	 
	4.2	 	Other Benefits Take Precedence Over Short-Term. Should an event occur that triggers
a benefit under Article 5, 6, 7 or 8, any Annual Deferral Amount, plus amounts credited or
debited thereon, that is subject to a Short-Term Payout election under Section 4.1 shall not
be paid in accordance with Section 4.1 but shall be paid in accordance with the other
applicable Article.
	 
	4.3	 	Withdrawal Payout/Suspensions for Unforeseeable Financial Emergencies. If the
Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant may petition the Committee
to (i) suspend any deferrals required to be made by a Participant and/or (ii) receive a
partial or full payout from the Plan. The payout shall not exceed the lesser of the
Participant’s Account Balance, calculated as if such Participant were receiving a Termination
Benefit, or the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency. If, subject
to the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee, the petition for a suspension and/or
payout is approved, suspension shall take effect upon the date of approval and, if applicable,
any payout shall be made within 60 days of the date of approval. The payment of any amount
under this Section 4.3 shall not be subject to the Deduction Limitation.

ARTICLE 5

Survivor Benefit

	5.1	 	Survivor Benefit. If the Participant dies before he or she experiences a Separation
from Service or suffers a Disability prior to such date, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall
be entitled to receive the Termination Benefit described in Section 6.2 as if Participant had
experienced a Separation from Service and the valid Election Form(s) most recently on file
with the Company shall control the manner in which the Survivor Benefit is paid.

ARTICLE 6

Termination Benefit

	6.1	 	Termination Benefit. Upon a Separation from Service, a Participant shall receive a
distribution of the vested portion of his or her Termination Benefit in the form that the
Participant elected to receive under Section 3.4 if a Participant experiences a Separation
from Service prior to his or her death or Disability. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Article 6 to the contrary, any distribution scheduled to be made upon Separation from
Service to a Participant who is identified as a Key Employee as of the date he

15

 

	 	 	 	Separates from Service shall be delayed for a minimum of six months following the
Participant’s Separation from Service. Any payment to a Key Employee delayed under this
Section 6.1 shall be made (without interest) within 90 days after the six-month anniversary
of the Participant’s Separation from Service. The identification of a Participant as a Key
Employee shall be made by the Committee in accordance with Section 1.33 of the Plan and
sections 416(i) and 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

	6.2	 	Payment of Termination Benefit. The Termination Benefit will be paid in a lump sum
or Annual Installments as the Participant elected, and will begin, in the first 60 days of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant experiences a Separation
from Service, unless if delayed pursuant to Sections 3.4(b) and 6.1. Any payment made shall
be subject to the Deduction Limitation. If a Participant becomes Disabled after his or her
Separation from Service, distributions shall be made under Article 6 and not under Article 7
below. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent
a Participant’s Account Balance is less than $25,000 at the time of Separation from Service,
the Committee shall cause the Termination Benefit to be paid in a lump sum.

ARTICLE 7

Disability Benefit

	7.1	 	Disability Benefit.

	 	(a)	 	Distribution. The Participant shall receive a distribution equal to
his or her Account Balance as if the Participant experiences a Separation from Service,
pursuant to the Committee’s determination that the Participant has suffered a
Disability. If a Participant subsequently experiences a Separation from Service
pursuant to his or her Disability, distributions shall be made under this paragraph (a)
and not under Article 6.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Waiver of Deferral. A Participant who is determined by the Committee
to be suffering from a Disability shall be (i) excused from fulfilling that portion of
the Annual Deferral Amount commitment that would otherwise have been withheld from a
Participant’s Annual Base Salary, Annual Bonus and/or Directors Fees for the Plan Year
during which the Participant first suffers a Disability. During the period of
Disability, the Participant shall not be allowed to make any additional deferral
elections, but will continue to be considered a Participant for all other purposes of
this Plan.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Return to Work. If a Participant returns to employment, or service as
a Director, with an Employer, after a Disability ceases, the Participant may elect to
defer an Annual Deferral Amount for the Plan Year following his or her return to
employment or service and for every Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in the
Plan; provided that the Participant meets the eligibility requirement in Article 2 and
such deferral elections are otherwise allowed and an Election Form is

16

 

	 	 	 	delivered to and accepted by the Committee for each such election in accordance with
Section 3.3(b) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall continue
receiving the distribution under paragraph (a) above.

ARTICLE 8

Beneficiary Designation

	8.1	 	Beneficiary. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate his or
her Beneficiary(ies) (both primary as well as contingent) to receive any benefits payable
under the Plan to a beneficiary upon the death of a Participant. The Beneficiary designated
under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any
other plan of an Employer in which the Participant participates.
	 
	8.2	 	Beneficiary Designation; Change; Spousal Consent. A Participant shall designate his
or her Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and returning
it to the Committee or its designated agent. A Participant shall have the right to change a
Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary
Designation Form and the Committee’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. If
the Participant names someone other than his or her spouse as a Beneficiary, a spousal
consent, in the form designated by the Committee, must be signed by that Participant’s spouse
and returned to the Committee. Upon the acceptance by the Committee of a new Beneficiary
Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be canceled. The
Committee shall be entitled to rely on the last valid Beneficiary Designation Form filed by
the Participant and accepted by the Committee prior to his or her death.
	 
	8.3	 	Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be
effective until received and acknowledged in writing by the Committee or its designated agent.
	 
	8.4	 	No Beneficiary Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as
provided in Sections 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 above or, if all designated Beneficiaries predecease
the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the
Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her surviving spouse. If
the Participant has no surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under the Plan to be paid to a
Beneficiary shall be payable to the executor or personal representative of the Participant’s
estate.
	 
	 	 	Upon the Committee or its designated agent being provided with written notice of the
dissolution of marriage of a Participant, and notwithstanding any of the preceding
provisions of this Article 8, any earlier designation of the Participant’s former spouse as
a Beneficiary for a portion or all of the benefits specified herein shall be treated as
though the Participant’s former spouse had predeceased the Participant. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, any designation of the Participant’s former spouse as a Beneficiary
shall not be treated as though the Participant’s former spouse had predeceased the
Participant if, after the dissolution of the Participant’s marriage and prior to payment of

17

 

	 	 	benefits on behalf of the Participant (1) the Participant executes and delivers a new
Beneficiary designation that complies with this Plan that clearly names such former spouse
as a Beneficiary, or (2) there is delivered to the Plan a domestic relations order providing
that the former spouse is to be treated as the Beneficiary. In any case in which the
Participant’s former spouse is treated under the Participant’s Beneficiary designation as
having predeceased the Participant, no heirs or other beneficiaries of the former spouse
shall receive benefits from this Plan as a Beneficiary of the Participant except as provided
otherwise in the Participant’s Beneficiary designation.
	 
	 	 	(The following example illustrates the application of the preceding paragraph. Assume that
a Participant, ‘Participant A,’ is married to ‘Spouse A’ and that Participant A files a
valid and effective Beneficiary designation under this Plan naming Spouse A as a 50%
Beneficiary and each of Participant A’s two children with Spouse A (the ‘Children’) as a 25%
Beneficiary. Assume that Participant A becomes divorced from Spouse A after making such
Beneficiary designation. Upon the Committee or its designated agent being provided with
written notice of the divorce, Spouse A shall be deemed to have predeceased Participant A
for purposes of Participant A’s Beneficiary designation subject to the second sentence of
the preceding paragraph. If Participant A later dies without having made a valid
post-divorce Beneficiary designation under this Plan and assuming that no Plan benefits have
been paid and that there is no domestic relations order to the contrary, Participant A’s
Beneficiaries shall be deemed to be his two Children, with each child being a 50%
Beneficiary.)
	 
	8.5	 	Doubt as to Beneficiary. If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary
to receive payments pursuant to this Plan, the Committee shall have the right, exercisable in
its sole and absolute discretion, to cause the Participant’s Employer to withhold such
payments until this matter is resolved to the Committee’s satisfaction.
	 
	8.6	 	Discharge of Obligations. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a Beneficiary
shall fully and completely discharge all Employers and the Committee from all further
obligations under this Plan with respect to the Participant, and that Participant’s Plan
Agreement shall terminate upon such full payment of benefits.

ARTICLE 9

Leave of Absence

	9.1	 	Paid Leave of Absence. Unless otherwise provided under section 409A of the Code, if
a Participant is authorized by the Participant’s Employer for any reason to take a bona fide
paid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to
be considered employed by the Employer and the Annual Deferral Amount shall continue to be
withheld during such paid leave of absence in accordance with Section 3.3.
	 
	9.2	 	Unpaid Leave of Absence. Unless otherwise provided under section 409A of the Code,
if a Participant is authorized by the Participant’s Employer for any reason to take a bona
fide unpaid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, the Participant shall

18

 

	 	 	 	continue to be considered employed by the Employer and the Participant shall be excused from
making deferrals until the earlier of the date the leave of absence expires or the
Participant returns to a paid employment status. Upon such expiration or return, deferrals
shall resume for the remaining portion of the Plan Year in which the expiration or return
occurs, based on the deferral election, if any, made for that Plan Year. If no election was
made for that Plan Year, no deferral shall be withheld.

ARTICLE 10

Termination/Amendment or Modification

	10.1	 	Termination. Although each Employer anticipates that it will continue the Plan for
an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that any Employer will continue the Plan
or will not terminate the Plan at any time in the future.
	 
	 	 	In the event the Plan is terminated, in the Board’s discretion, the Account Balances of
Participants may be distributed within the period beginning twelve months after the date the
Plan was terminated and ending twenty-four months after the date the Plan was terminated.
If the Plan is terminated and Account Balances are distributed, the Company shall terminate
all account balance non-qualified deferred compensation plans with respect to all
participants and shall not adopt a new account balance non-qualified deferred compensation
plan for at least three years after the date the Plan was terminated.
	 
	 	 	The Board, in its discretion, may terminate the Plan 30 days prior to or twelve months
following a Change in Control that is a change in the ownership or effective control of the
Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company
as defined in the regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Code and distribute the
Accounts of the Participants within the twelve-month period following the termination of the
Plan. If the Plan is terminated and Account Balances are distributed, the Company shall
terminate all substantially similar non-qualified deferred compensation plans sponsored by
the Company and all of the benefits of the terminated plans shall be distributed within
twelve months following the termination of the plans.
	 
	 	 	The Board, in its discretion, may terminate the Plan upon a corporate dissolution or
liquidation of the Company that is taxed under Section 331 of the Code or with the approval
of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(1)(A), provided that the
Participant’s Accounts are distributed and included in the gross income of the Participants
by the latest of (i) the calendar year in which the Plan terminates, or (ii) the first
calendar year in which payment of the Accounts is administratively practicable.
	 
	 	 	The termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect any Participant or Beneficiary who
has become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the Plan as of the date of
termination.
	 
	10.2	 	Amendment. The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in
part by the action of its Board as appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion; provided,
however, that: (i) no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease or restrict
the value of a Participant’s Account Balance in existence at the time the amendment or

19

 

	 	 	modification is made, calculated as if the Participant had experienced a Separation from
Service as of the effective date of the amendment or modification, (ii) no amendment or
modification shall be effective upon or after a Change in Control without the prior written
consent of a majority of Participants, and (iii) no amendment or modification of Section
10.2(i) or 10.2(ii) of the Plan shall be effective. The amendment or modification of the
Plan shall not affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment
of benefits under the Plan as of the date of the amendment or modification.
	 
	10.3	 	Plan Agreement. Despite the provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.2 above, if a
Participant’s Plan Agreement contains benefits or limitations that are not in this Plan
document, the Employer may only amend or terminate such provisions with the consent of the
Participant.
	 
	10.4	 	Effect of Payment. The full payment of the applicable benefit under Articles 4, 5,
6, 7 or 8 of the Plan shall completely discharge all obligations to a Participant and his or
her designated Beneficiaries under this Plan and the Participant’s Plan Agreement shall
terminate.

ARTICLE 11

Administration

	11.1	 	Committee Duties. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 11, this Plan shall
be administered by a Committee, which shall consist of those persons appointed by the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company from time to time. If the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company fails to appoint the Committee, the Committee shall be the Company until such time as
the Chief Executive Officer appoints the members of the Committee pursuant to the previous
sentence. Members of the Committee may be Participants under this Plan. The Committee shall
also have the discretion and authority to (i) make, amend, interpret, and enforce all
appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan and (ii) decide or
resolve any and all questions including interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in
connection with the Plan. Any individual serving on the Committee who is a Participant shall
not vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself or herself. When making a
determination or calculation, the Committee shall be entitled to rely on information furnished
by a Participant or the Company.
	 
	11.2	 	Administration Upon Change In Control. For purposes of this Plan, the Committee
shall be the “Administrator” at all times prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control.
Upon and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the “Administrator” shall be an
independent third party selected by the trustee of the Trust and approved by the individual
who, immediately prior to such event, was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or, if not
available or willing to assume such responsibility, the Company’s highest ranking officer (the
“Ex-CEO”). The Administrator shall have the discretionary power to determine all questions
arising in connection with the administration of the Plan and the interpretation of the Plan
and Trust including, but not limited to benefit entitlement determinations; provided, however,
upon and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Administrator shall have no power to
direct the investment of

20

 

	 	 	Plan or Trust assets or select any investment manager or custodial firm for the Plan or
Trust. Upon and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company must: (1) pay all
reasonable administrative expenses and fees of the Administrator; (2) indemnify the
Administrator against any costs, expenses and liabilities including, without limitation,
attorney’s fees and expenses arising in connection with the performance of the Administrator
hereunder, except with respect to matters resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Administrator or its employees or agents; and (3) supply full and timely
information to the Administrator or all matters relating to the Plan, the Trust, the
Participants and their Beneficiaries, the Account Balances of the Participants, the date of
circumstances of the Disability, death or Separation from Service of the Participants, and
such other pertinent information as the Administrator may reasonably require. Upon and
after a Change in Control, the Administrator may be terminated (and a replacement appointed)
by the trustee of the Trust only with the approval of the Ex-CEO. Upon and after a Change
in Control, the Administrator may not be terminated by the Company.
	 
	11.3	 	Agents. In the administration of this Plan, the Committee may, from time to time,
employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit (including acting
through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel who
may be counsel to any Employer.
	 
	11.4	 	Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Administrator with
respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder
shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan.
	 
	11.5	 	Indemnity of Committee. All Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless the members
of the Committee, and any Employee to whom the duties of the Committee may be delegated, and
the Administrator against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising
from any action or failure to act with respect to this Plan, except in the case of willful
misconduct by the Committee, any of its members, any such Employee or the Administrator.
	 
	11.6	 	Employer Information. To enable the Committee and/or Administrator to perform its
functions, the Company and each Employer shall supply full and timely information to the
Committee and/or Administrator, as the case may be, on all matters relating to the
compensation of its Participants, the date and circumstances of the Disability, death or
Separation from Service of its Participants, and such other pertinent information as the
Committee or Administrator may reasonably require.

ARTICLE 12

Other Benefits and Agreements

	12.1	 	Coordination with Other Benefits. The benefits provided for a Participant and
Participant’s Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to
such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Participant’s

21

 

	 	 	 	Employer. The Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such
plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided.

ARTICLE 13

Claims Procedures

	13.1	 	Presentation of Claim. Any Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant
(such Participant or Beneficiary being referred to below as a “Claimant”) may deliver to the
Committee a written claim for a determination with respect to the amounts distributable to
such Claimant from the Plan. If such a claim relates to the contents of a notice received by
the Claimant, the claim must be made within 60 days after such notice was received by the
Claimant. All other claims must be made within 180 days of the date on which the event that
caused the claim to arise occurred. The claim must state with particularity the determination
desired by the Claimant.

	13.2	 	Notification of Decision. The Committee shall consider a Claimant’s claim within a
reasonable time, and shall notify the Claimant in writing:

	 	(a)	 	that the Claimant’s requested determination has been made, and that the claim
has been allowed in full; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	that the Committee has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in part, to
the Claimant’s requested determination, and such notice must set forth in a manner
calculated to be understood by the Claimant:

	 	(i)	 	the specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any part
of it;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon
which such denial was based;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	a description of any additional material or information
necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	an explanation of the claim review procedure set forth in
Section 13.3 below.

	13.3	 	Review of a Denied Claim. Within 60 days after receiving a notice from the Committee
that a claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly
authorized representative) may file with the Committee a written request for a review of the
denial of the claim. Thereafter, but not later than 30 days after the review procedure began,
the Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative):

	 	(a)	 	may review pertinent documents;
	 
	 	(b)	 	may submit written comments or other documents; and/or

22

 

	 	(c)	 	may request a hearing, which the Committee, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may grant.

	13.4	 	Decision on Review. The Committee shall render its decision on review promptly, and
not later than 60 days after the filing of a written request for review of the denial, unless
a hearing is held or other special circumstances require additional time, in which case the
Committee’s decision must be rendered within 120 days after such date. Such decision must be
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and it must contain:

	 	(a)	 	specific reasons for the decision;
	 
	 	(b)	 	specific reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision
was based; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	such other matters as the Committee deems relevant.

	13.5	 	Mediation. Should the parties be unable to resolve the dispute pursuant to these
procedures, the claim shall be referred to non-binding mediation, conducted by the Employment
panel of Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services (“JAMS”), in accordance with JAMS’ standard
mediation rules. A mutually agreeable mediator will be selected. The parties shall share all
costs of the mediation equally, including attorney fees. Not sooner than 20 days following
the mediator’s final determination, either party may request binding arbitration.

	13.6	 	Binding Arbitration. Following the expiration of the 20-day period referenced in
Section 13.5, either party may initiate binding arbitration by making a written demand for it
on the other party. Such binding arbitration shall be conducted under the applicable rules of
the American Arbitration Association using a mutually selected arbitrator in San Mateo or San
Francisco County. The cost of the arbitration shall be borne by the non-prevailing party or
as otherwise determined by the arbitrator.

ARTICLE 14

Trust

	14.1	 	Establishment of the Trust. The Company shall establish the Trust, and each Employer
shall at least annually transfer over to the Trust such assets as the Employer determines, in
its sole and absolute discretion, are necessary to provide, on a present value basis, for its
respective future liabilities created with respect to the Rollover Amounts, Annual Company
Contribution Amounts, Company Restoration Matching Contribution Amounts, and Annual Deferral
Amounts for such Employer’s Participants for all periods prior to the transfer, as well as any
debits and credits to the Participants’ Account Balances for all periods prior to the
transfer, taking into consideration the value of the assets in the trust at the time of the
transfer.
	 
	14.2	 	Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust. The provisions of the Plan and the Plan
Agreement shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to the

23

 

	 	 	Plan. The provisions of the Trust shall govern the rights of the Employers, Participants
and the creditors of the Employers to the assets transferred to the Trust. Each Employer
shall at all times remain liable to carry out its obligations under the Plan.
	 
	14.3	 	Distributions From the Trust. Each Employer’s obligations under the Plan may be
satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust, and any such
distribution shall reduce the Employer’s obligations under this Plan.

ARTICLE 15

Miscellaneous

	15.1	 	Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to be a plan that is not qualified within the
meaning section 401(a) of the Code and that “is unfunded and is maintained by an employer
primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management
or highly compensated employee” within the meaning of sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1)
of ERISA. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner
consistent with that intent.
	 
	15.2	 	Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors
and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or
assets of an Employer. For purposes of the payment of benefits under this Plan, any and all
of an Employer’s assets shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged unrestricted assets of
the Employer. An Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and
unsecured promise to pay money in the future.
	 
	15.3	 	Employer’s Liability. An Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits shall be
defined only by the Plan and the Plan Agreement, as entered into between the Employer and a
Participant. An Employer shall have no obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as
expressly provided in the Plan and his or her Plan Agreement.
	 
	15.4	 	Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to
commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer,
hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable
hereunder, or any part thereof which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to
be, unassignable and non-transferable. Except as provided in Section 15.15, no part of the
amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment
or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed
by a Participant or any other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a
Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as
a result of a property settlement or otherwise.
	 
	15.5	 	Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be
deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer and the Participant. Such
employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment relationship that can be
terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or
without notice, unless expressly provided in a written

24

 

	 	 	employment agreement. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right
to be retained in the service of any Employer, either as an Employee or a Director, or to
interfere with the right of any Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any
time.
	 
	15.6	 	Furnishing Information. A Participant or his or her Beneficiary will cooperate with
the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee and take such
other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and
the payments of benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical
examinations as the Committee may deem necessary.
	 
	15.7	 	Terms. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed
as though they were in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and whenever any
words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they
were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so
apply.
	 
	15.8	 	Captions. The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for
convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its
provisions.
	 
	15.9	 	Governing Law. Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and
interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of California without regard to its
conflicts of laws principles.
	 
	15.10	 	Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee
under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or
certified mail, to the address below:

Senior Vice President, Human Resources

Electronic Arts Inc.

209 Redwood Shores Pkwy

Redwood City, CA 94065

	 	 	Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by
mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.
	 
	 	 	Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant under this Plan
shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by mail, to the last known
address of the Participant.
	 
	15.11	 	Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
Participant’s Employer and its successors and assigns and the Participant and the
Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.
	 
	15.12	 	Spouse’s Interest. The interest in the benefits hereunder of a spouse of a
Participant who has predeceased the Participant shall automatically pass to the Participant
and shall

25

 

	 	 	not be transferable by such spouse in any manner, including but not limited to such spouse’s
will, nor shall such interest pass under the laws of in testate succession.
	 
	15.13	 	Validity. In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any
reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this
Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been
inserted herein.
	 
	15.14	 	Incompetent. If the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit under
this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of
handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Committee may direct payment of such
benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such
minor, incompetent or incapable person. The Committee may require proof of minority,
incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of
the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant
and the Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of
any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.
	 
	15.15	 	Court Order. The Committee is authorized to make any payments directed by court
order in any action in which the Plan or the Committee has been named as a party. In
addition, if a court determines that a spouse or former spouse of a Participant has an
interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan in connection with a property settlement
or otherwise, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right,
notwithstanding any election made by a Participant, to immediately distribute the spouse’s or
former spouse’s interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan to that spouse or former
spouse.
	 
	15.16	 	Distribution in the Event of Taxation.

	 	(a)	 	In General. If, for any reason, all or any portion of a Participant’s
benefits under this Plan becomes taxable to the Participant prior to receipt, a
Participant may petition the Committee before a Change in Control, or the trustee of
the Trust after a Change in Control, for a distribution of that portion of his or her
benefit that has become taxable. Upon the grant of such a petition, which grant shall
not be unreasonably withheld (and, after a Change in Control, shall be granted), a
Participant’s Employer shall distribute to the Participant immediately available funds
in an amount equal to the taxable portion of his or her benefit (which amount shall not
exceed a Participant’s unpaid Account Balance under the Plan). If the petition is
granted, the tax liability distribution shall be made within 90 days of the date when
the Participant’s petition is granted. Such a distribution shall affect and reduce the
benefits to be paid under this Plan.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Trust. If the Trust terminates in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of
the Trust and benefits are distributed from the Trust to a Participant in accordance
with that Section, the Participant’s benefits under this Plan shall be reduced to the
extent of such distributions.

26

 

	15.17	 	Insurance. The Employers, on their own behalf or on behalf of the trustee of the
Trust, and, in their sole and absolute discretion, may apply for and procure insurance on the
life of the Participant, in such amounts and in such forms as the Trust may choose. The
Employers or the trustee of the Trust, as the case may be, shall be the sole owner and
beneficiary of any such insurance. The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any
such policy or policies, and at the request of the Employers shall such information and
execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom the
Employers have applied for insurance.

	15.18	 	Legal Fees To Enforce Rights After Change in Control. The Company and each Employer
is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Board or the board of directors
of a Participant’s Employer (which might then be composed of new members), the Committee, or a
shareholder of the Company, of the Participant’s Employer or of any successor corporation
might then cause or attempt to cause the Company, the Participant’s Employer or such successor
corporation to refuse to comply with its obligations under the Plan and/or to seek to deny
Participants the benefits intended under the Plan. In these circumstances, the purpose of the
Plan could be frustrated. Accordingly, if, following a Change in Control, a Participant or
Beneficiary institutes any litigation or other legal action which seeks to recover benefits
under the Plan or which otherwise asserts that the Committee, the Company, the Employer or any
successor entity to the Company or the Employer has failed to comply with any of its
obligations under the Plan or any agreement thereunder with respect to such Participant or
Beneficiary, or if the Committee, the Company, the Employer or any other person takes any
action to declare the Plan void or unenforceable or institutes any litigation or other legal
action designed to deny, diminish or to recover from any Participant or Beneficiary the
benefits intended to be provided under the Plan, and the Participant or Beneficiary retains
counsel in connection with such litigation or legal action, then (unless the final decision of
a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator determines that the Participant or
Beneficiary’s initiation or defense of such litigation or legal action was frivolous, based on
the information known to the Participant or Beneficiary at the time of the initiation or
defense) the Company and such Employer (who shall be jointly and severally liable) shall be
required to pay the reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of the Participant or Beneficiary
in connection with the initiation or defense of such litigation or legal action with respect
to such matters, whether by or against the Committee, the Company, the Employer or any
director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with the Company, the Employer or
any successor thereto in any jurisdiction. The reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, if
any, that become due and owing to a Participant (or Beneficiary) in accordance with this
Section shall be paid no later than 180 days following the date such fees and expenses are
incurred.

	 	 	 	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has signed this Plan document as of August 1, 2007.
