     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 2, 1996. 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 if such change is

                                                                               5

<PAGE>

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. 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 Employee's 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 Employees with respect to a given Offering Period a
subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions. An 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.

     7. Grant of Option on Enrollment. Enrollment by an 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 Class A 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 Class A
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 Class A
Common Stock on the Purchase Date, provided, however, that the number of shares
of the Company's Class A 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 Class A Common Stock on the Offering Date as the denominator. Fair
market value of a share of the Company's Class A Common Stock shall be
determined as provided in Section 8 hereof.

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

           (a)    the fair market value, in United States dollars, on the
                  Offering Date or

           (b)    the fair market value, in United States dollars, 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 Class A Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market.

     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 all compensation designated as employee compensation, including, but
not limited to base salary, wages, commissions, overtime, shift premiums and
bonuses, plus draws against commissions. 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 their local 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) 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. 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.

                                                                              6

<PAGE>

            (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 Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A 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
Company 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 stock purchase plans of the Company or any Subsidiary, exceeds $25,000
in fair market value, determined as of the Offering Date 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 Class A 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 local 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.

                                                                               7

<PAGE>

           (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 local
                  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 Employee, terminates his or her participation in the Plan immediately
on the date which Employee's employment with the Company ceases, or if earlier,
the date on which the Company gives notice of such termination. In no event
shall participation in this plan extend beyond the participant's termination
date, nor shall any potential value of a purchase under this Plan be considered
in determining any notice or compensation in lieu of notice that may be required
or given upon termination of participant's employment by the Company.
Participant agrees that this provision is a condition to this Plan and
enrollment in the Plan waives any and all rights and claims participant may have
to value attributable to a purchase under this Plan which would have under any
circumstances taken place after the termination date. 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.

     14. Capital Changes. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of
         ---------------
the Company, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by each option
under the Plan which has not yet been exercised and the number of shares of
Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A Common Stock
resulting from a stock split or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the
Class A Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares
of Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A
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

                                                                               8

<PAGE>

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  Employees shall have equal rights
           ---------------------------
 and privileges with respect to 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.   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.

     22.   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.

     23.   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.

     24.   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"), and the Plan shall continue until the earlier to occur of termination by
the Board, issuance of all of the shares of Class A 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.

                                                                               9

SECTION 2:       Name: _________________________________ Location______________
PERSONAL
INFORMATION      Address:______________________________________________________

SECTION 3:       I hereby elect to participate in the Electronic Arts Employee
NEW              Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") and I agree to be bound by its
ENROLLME         terms. Stock purchased under the Plan should be registered in
                 my name or in my name together with the following name:
                 _____________________________________________________________.

SECTION 4:       I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in
PAYROLL          that percentage of my compensation as shown below, in
DEDUCTION        accordance with the Plan. Decreases in deductions will be
                 effective for the payroll period that begins 15 days after the
                 payroll department's receipt of this form. Increases in
                 deductions will not be effective until the next Purchase
                 Period.

                 Amount to be Deducted (Circle One):   0%  2%  3%  4%  5% 6% 7%
                 8% 9% 10%

SECTION 5:       Effective: _______/_______/_______  I will cease participating
WITHDRAWAL                   Month    Date    Year far will be returned, and I
                 may not re-enroll until the next Offering Period.

SECTION 6:       In the event of my death, I hereby designate the following
BENEFICIARY      person(s) as my beneficiary(ies) to receive all payments and/or
                 stock due me under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan:

                 Primary Beneficiary:                                 %:       Relationship:
                                     ----------------------------------------              ----------------------
                 Primary Beneficiary:                                 %:       Relationship:
                                     -----------------------------------------              ----------------------
                 Note:  If more than one primary beneficiary listed, please indicate % allocated to each.

                 Secondary Beneficiary:                                        Relationship:
                                       ---------------------------------------              ----------------------

SECTION 7:       I understand that my payroll deductions will be accumulated for
PRICE            the automatic purchase of shares of Common Stock at the end of
                 each Purchase Period, unless I withdraw from the Plan or become
                 ineligible. The purchase price per share will be the lower of
                 (i) 85% of the fair market value on the first day of an
                 Offering Period or (ii) 85% of the fair market value on the
                 last day of a Purchase Period.

SUCCESSIVE       I understand that this enrollment will be effective for each
PERIODS          subsequent Offering Period unless I withdraw from the Plan or
                 otherwise become ineligible to participate in the Plan. In the
                 event, however, that the Offering Price for the new Offering
                 Period for which I am not enrolled is less than the Offering
                 Price for the Offering Period for which I am currently
                 enrolled, I understand that I will automatically be withdrawn
                 from the current Offering Period and re-enrolled in the new
                 Offering Period unless I notify the Company to the contrary.

REVIEW OF        I have received a copy of the Company's most recent prospectus
                 which describes the Plan.  I understand that my participation
PROSPECTUS       is in all respects subject to the terms of the Plan.

SECTION 8:       I agree to be bound by the terms of this Form and the Plan. I
AUTHORIZATION    have been advised to consult my tax advisory with respect to
                 the tax consequences of participating in the Plan.

                 I am not a citizen or resident of the United States and
                 therefore not subject to United States income tax laws. I
                 understand that Electronic Arts makes no representation
                 regarding the tax treatment under the tax laws of the country
                 in which I am a citizen or resident in connection with the
                 International Employee Stock Purchase Plan or my purchase of
                 shares thereunder. I also understand that I am encouraged to
                 consult with my own tax advisor, prior to purchasing shares
                 under the Plan, concerning tax treatment of my participation in
                 the Plan.

                 I understand that because my payroll deductions will not be
                 expressed in U.S. dollars and the value of shares of the
                 Company's Class A Common Stock is expressed in U.S. dollars, it
                 will be necessary to convert the amount of my payroll
                 deductions into U.S. dollars in order to calculate various
                 share amounts under the International Employee Stock Purchase
                 Plan. I also understand that the exercise price for the shares
                 purchased by me pursuant to the International Employee Stock
                 Purchase Plan will be expressed in U.S. dollars and that the
                 exchange rates in effect at the end of the Purchase Period will
                 be used to determine the number of shares which I may purchase
                 on the exercise date.
