2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
  
 As Adopted by the Board of Directors on May 25, 2000 
 As Approved by the Stockholders on July 27, 2000 
 As Amended on February 13, 2003, June 26, 2003,

 July 31, 2003, July 29, 2004 and October 27, 2004 
 and July 28, 2005 
  
 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 5,300,000 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 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). 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. 
  
 (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 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”). 
  
 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. 
  
 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.

	ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND WAIVER	  	 By signing this Agreement, participating in the Plan and accepting the offer of purchase rights, I agree and acknowledge that:

 
 (a) the Plan is discretionary and Electronic Arts can amend, cancel or terminate it at
any time; (b) participation in the Plan is voluntary and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future rights to purchase shares; (c) the right to purchase shares under the Plan is not part of normal or expected compensation or
salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, bonuses, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (d) the right to purchase shares under the Plan ceases upon
termination of employment for any reason except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in this Agreement and the Plan; (e) in the event of involuntary termination of my employment, my right to participate in the Plan and to purchase shares under
the Plan, if any, will cease as of the date that I am no longer actively employed regardless of any reasonable notice period mandated under local law; (f) the future value of the shares purchased under the Plan is unknown and cannot be predicted
with certainty; (g) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the termination of the right to purchase shares or diminution in value of the shares purchased under the Plan and I irrevocably release Electronic Arts and my
employer from any such claim that may arise; and (h) my participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with my employer and shall not interfere with the ability of my employer to terminate my employment relationship at any
time.

		
	TAX WITHHOLDING	  	Electronic Arts will assess its requirements regarding tax, social insurance and other applicable taxes (“Tax Items”) in connection with my participation in the Plan. These
requirements may change from time to time as laws or interpretations change. Regardless of Electronic Arts’ actions in this regard, I hereby acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for

			
	 	  	 Tax Items is my responsibility and that Electronic Arts and/or my employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any
Tax Items in connection with any aspect of the grant of purchase rights, including the grant or exercise of the purchase rights and the subsequent sale of shares acquired under the Plan; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or
any aspect of the purchase rights to reduce or eliminate my liability for Tax Items.
  
 I authorize Electronic Arts and/or my employer to withhold all applicable Tax Items legally payable by me from my compensation paid to me by Electronic Arts and/or my employer or from proceeds of sale. Alternatively, or in addition, if
permissible under local law, Electronic Arts may sell or arrange for the sale of shares that I am due to acquire to meet the minimum withholding obligation for Tax Items. Electronic Arts or my employer will repay to me any estimated withholding
which is not required in satisfaction of any Tax Items. Finally, I shall pay to Electronic Arts or my employer any amount of any Tax Items that Electronic Arts or my employer may be required to withhold as a result of my participation in the Plan or
my purchase of shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

transferred to any third parties assisting Electronic Arts in the administration of the Plan. I understand that these recipients may be located in my country of residence, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data
privacy laws and protections than my country of residence. I authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of administering my participation in the Plan, including any
requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares on my behalf to a broker or other third party with whom I may elect to deposit any shares acquired pursuant to the Plan. I
understand that Data will be held only as long as necessary to administer my participation in the Plan. I understand that I may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or withdraw the consents herein in writing by
contacting Electronic Arts. I understand that withdrawing my consent may affect my ability to participate in the Plan.

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 STERIS CORPORATION 
  
 SENIOR EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN 
  
 1. Purpose. The purpose of the Senior Executive Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is to attract and retain key
executives for STERIS Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and its Subsidiaries and to provide such persons with incentives for superior performance. Incentive Compensation payments made under the Plan are intended to
constitute qualified “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Section 1.162-27 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Plan shall be construed
consistently with such intention. 
  
 2. Definitions. As
used in this Plan, 
  
 “Board” means the Board of
Directors of the Company. 
  
 “Code” means the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. 
  
 “Committee” means the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board or any other committee appointed by the Board to administer the Plan; provided, however, that in any event the Committee shall be comprised
of not less than two directors of the Company, each of whom shall qualify as an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code and Section 1.162-27(e) (3) of the Regulations. 
  
 “Eligible Executive” means the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and any other executive officer or other employee of the Company designated by the Committee. 
  
 “Incentive Compensation” shall mean, for each Eligible Executive, a compensation opportunity amount determined by the Committee pursuant
to Section 5 below. 
  
 “Performance Objectives”
means the achievement of a performance objective or objectives established pursuant to this Plan for Eligible Executives. Performance Objectives may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or objectives that are related to the
performance of the individual Eligible Executive or of the Subsidiary, division, department or function within the Company or Subsidiary in which the Eligible Executive is employed or for which the Eligible Executive has responsibilities. The
Performance Objectives shall be limited to specified levels of, growth in or relative peer company performance in one or more of the following: earnings per share, return on invested capital, return on total capital, return on assets, return on
equity, total shareholder return, net income, revenue, free cash flow, operating profit, gross margin and/or contribution margin, earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and productivity
improvement. 
  
 “Regulations” mean the Treasury
Regulations promulgated under the Code, as amended from time to time. 
  
 “Subsidiary” means a corporation, partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association or other entity in which the Company has a direct or indirect ownership or other equity interest. 
  
 3. Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee, which shall have full power and authority to construe, interpret and administer the Plan and shall have the exclusive right to establish Performance Objectives and the amount of Incentive Compensation payable to each Eligible Executive
upon the achievement of the specified Performance Objectives. 
  
 4. Eligibility. Eligibility under this Plan is limited to Eligible Executives designated by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. 

 5. Awards. 
  
 (a) Not later than the 90th day of each fiscal year of the Company, the Committee shall establish the
Performance Objectives for each Eligible Executive and the amount of Incentive Compensation payable (or formula for determining such amount) upon full achievement of the specified Performance Objectives for such fiscal year. The Committee may
further specify in respect of the specified Performance Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no Incentive Compensation payment will be made and set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if
performance is at or above the minimum acceptable level but falls short of full achievement of the specified Performance Objectives. The Committee may not modify any terms of awards established pursuant to this section, except to the extent that
after such modification the Incentive Compensation would continue to constitute qualified “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. 
  
 (b) The Committee retains the discretion to reduce the amount of any Incentive Compensation that would be
otherwise payable to an Eligible Executive (including a reduction in such amount to zero). 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Incentive Compensation paid to an Eligible Executive under the
Plan for a fiscal year shall not exceed two and one-half (2 1/2 ) times the applicable Eligible Executive’s
annual base salary, and in no event shall such Incentive Compensation exceed $2,000,000. 
  
 6. Committee Certification. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the Committee shall determine
whether the Performance Objectives have been achieved and the amount of the Incentive Compensation to be paid to each Eligible Executive for such fiscal year and shall document such determinations. 
  
 7. Payment of Incentive Compensation. Incentive Compensation shall be
paid no later than two and a half months from the end of the Company’s fiscal year. 
  
 8. No Right to Compensation or Continued Employment. Neither the establishment of the Plan, the provision for or payment of any amounts hereunder nor any action of the Company, the Board or the Committee with
respect to the Plan shall be held or construed to confer upon any person (a) any legal right to receive, or any interest in, Incentive Compensation or any other benefit under the Plan or (b) any legal right to continue to serve as an officer or
employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. 
  
 9.
Withholding. The Company shall have the right to withhold, or require an Eligible Executive to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax requirements imposed with
respect to the payment of any Incentive Compensation. 
  
 10.
Nontransferability. Except as expressly provided by the Committee, the rights and benefits under the Plan shall not be transferable or assignable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  
 11. Amendment and Termination. The Committee may amend the Plan from
time to time, provided that any such amendment is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder and provided further
that any such amendment shall not cause the amount payable under Incentive Compensation to be increased as compared to the amount that would have been paid in accordance with the terms established within such period. The Committee may also terminate
the Plan, on a prospective basis only, at any time. 
  
 12.
Effective Date. Subject to its approval by the shareholders, this Plan shall become effective for the Company’s 2006 fiscal year, and shall remain effective until the first annual meeting of shareholders to be held in the 2011 fiscal
year, subject to any further shareholder approvals (or reapprovals) mandated for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, and subject to the right of the Board to terminate the Plan, on a prospective basis only, at any time.
