Warrant No. CW-1                                  432,432 Shares of Common Stock

         1.       ISSUANCE. This Warrant is issued to William M. Hawkins, III
(the "HOLDER"), by The 3DO Company, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter with its
successors called the "COMPANY") pursuant to the Convertible Note and Warrant
Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"). Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Purchase Agreement.

         2.       PURCHASE PRICE; NUMBER OF SHARES. Subject to the exercise
restriction provided for in Section 6 hereof, this Warrant certifies that, for
value received, the Holder of this Warrant is entitled upon surrender of this
Warrant with the subscription form annexed hereto as Appendix 1 duly executed,
at the principal office of the Company, to purchase from the Company 432,432
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "COMMON
STOCK") at a price per share (the "PURCHASE PRICE") of twenty dollars and zero
cents ($20.00), subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 8 and 9 below.

interest to the date of surrender, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing.

         4.       NET ISSUE ELECTION. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to
the contrary, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder
of any additional consideration, shares of Common Stock equal to the value (as
determined below) of this Warrant by the surrender of this Warrant to the
Company, with the net issue election notice set forth in Appendix 1 annexed
hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company. Thereupon, the
Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:

                                        X =  Y(A-B)
                                             ------
                                                A

where:                     X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued
                  to the Holder pursuant to this Section 4.

                           Y = the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
                  this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
                  exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised at the
                  time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section
                  4.

                           A = the fair market value of one share of Common
                  Stock, determined as follows: (i) if at such time the Common
                  Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or on the
                  over-the-counter market, then the closing price of the Common
                  Stock on the business day immediately prior to the date of
                  exercise or, if no sale of the Common Stock was made on such
                  day, the first business day immediately preceding such day
                  upon which a sale was made, or (ii) if at such time the Common
                  Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or on
                  the over-the-counter market, then as determined in good faith
                  by the Board and agreed to by Holder at the time the net issue
                  election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

                           B = the Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant
                  at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this
                  Section 4.

         5.       FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon
exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional
share, pay the holder entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to such
fraction multiplied by the then effective Purchase Price.

         6.       EXERCISE.

                  (a)      HART-SCOTT-RODINO CLEARANCE. Under Section 2 of the
Purchase Agreement, Company and Holder have agreed to file with the United
States Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and the Antitrust Division of the
United States Department of Justice (the "DOJ") pursuant

to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the
"HSR ACT") all requisite documents and notifications in order to provide for the
exercise and conversion of this Warrant into shares of Company's Common Stock.
Holder may not exercise this Warrant until the earlier of one business day after
(i) the date all required clearances or pre-termination notices under the HSR
Act have been received from the FTC and the DOJ (or all applicable waiting
periods have expired) or (ii) the date Holder and Company are no longer required
by law to make filings under the HSR to exercise and convert this Warrant into
capital stock.

                  (b)      EXPIRATION DATE. Holder's rights under this Warrant
expire at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the fifth anniversary of the date of this
Warrant (the "EXPIRATION DATE") and shall be void thereafter.

                  (c)      DELIVERY. Upon the exercise of the rights represented
by this Warrant, the Company shall use good faith efforts to issue and deliver
to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so purchased, registered in the name of
the Holder within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant
shall have been so exercised and in any event within twenty (20) days after
receipt of the Notice of Exercise and, unless the Warrant has been fully
exercised or expired, a new warrant representing the remaining portion of the
Warrant and the underlying Common Stock, if any, with respect to which this
Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder as soon
as possible and in any event within such twenty (20) day period.

         7.       RESERVED SHARES; VALID ISSUANCE. The Company covenants that it
will at all times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such
number of its authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company, free from all
preemptive or similar rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit the
exercise of this Warrant in full. If at any time between the date hereof and the
Expiration Date, the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will
take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient
for such purposes. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be
issued pursuant to such exercise will, upon issuance, be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issuance thereof.

         8.       STOCK SPLITS AND DIVIDENDS. If after the date hereof the
Company shall subdivide the Common Stock, by stock split or otherwise, or
combine the Common Stock, or issue additional shares of Common Stock in payment
of a stock dividend on the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately
increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately
decreased in the case of a combination, and the Purchase Price shall forthwith
be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or
proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

         9.       MERGERS AND RECLASSIFICATIONS. If after the date hereof the
Company shall enter into any Reorganization (as hereinafter defined), then, as a
condition of such Reorganization, lawful provisions shall be made, and duly
executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall
be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall thereafter have the right
to purchase, at a total price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of
this Warrant in full, the kind

                                      -3-

such Reorganization by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which
might have been purchased by the Holder immediately prior to such
Reorganization, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with
respect to the rights and interest of the Holder to the end that the provisions
hereof (including without limitation, provisions for the adjustment of the
Purchase Price and the number of shares issuable hereunder) shall thereafter be
applicable in relation to any shares of stock or other securities and property
thereafter deliverable upon exercise hereof. For the purposes of this Section 9,
the term "REORGANIZATION" shall include without limitation any reclassification,
capital reorganization or change of the Common Stock (other than as a result of
a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 8 hereof),
or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another
corporation or other business organization (other than a merger in which the
Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), or any sale or
conveyance to another corporation or other business organization of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company.

         10.      NO VOTING OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS. Nothing contained in this
Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof the right to
vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Company or any
other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company prior to
the exercise of the Holder's rights to purchase shares of Common Stock as
provided for herein. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in
respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares
purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall
have been exercised.

         11.      AMENDMENT. The terms of this Warrant may be amended, modified
or waived only with the written consent of the Holder.

                                                            Date: _____________
The 3DO Company
600 Galveston Drive
Redwood City, CA 94063

         The undersigned, ___________ ("PURCHASER"), intends to acquire
_______ shares of the Common Stock (the "SHARES") of The 3DO Company (the
"COMPANY") from the Company pursuant to the exercise of a certain Warrant to
purchase Shares held by Purchaser. The Shares will be issued to Purchaser in
a transaction not involving a public offering and pursuant to an exemption
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
ACT") and applicable state securities laws. In connection with such purchase
and in order to comply with the exemptions from registration relied upon by
the Company, Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

         1.       Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account, to hold
for investment, and Purchaser shall not make any sale, transfer or other
disposition of the Shares in violation of the 1933 Act or the General Rules and
Regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") or in violation of any applicable state securities law;

         2.       Purchaser has been advised that the Shares have not been
registered under the 1933 Act or state securities laws on the ground that this
transaction is exempt from registration, and that reliance by the Company on
such exemptions is predicated in part on Purchaser's representations set forth
in this letter;

         3.       Purchaser has been informed that under the 1933 Act, the
Shares must be held indefinitely unless it is subsequently registered under the
1933 Act or unless an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144) is
available with respect to any proposed transfer or disposition by Purchaser of
the Shares;

         4.       The Company may refuse to permit Purchaser to sell, transfer
or dispose of the Shares (except as permitted under Rule 144) unless there is in
effect a registration statement under the 1933 Act and any applicable state
securities laws covering such transfer, or unless Purchaser furnishes an opinion
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, to the effect
that such registration is not required;

         5.       Purchaser has invested in securities of companies in the
development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear
the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in
financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the

<PAGE>

merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. Purchaser represents and
warrants that it is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of
Regulation D of the 1933 Act.

         Purchaser also understands and agrees that there will be placed on the
certificate(s) for the Shares, or any substitutions therefor, legends stating in
substance:

         "These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of
         1933, as amended (the "Act"), or any applicable state securities laws,
         and may not be sold, offered for sale or transferred unless such sale
         or transfer is in accordance with the registration requirements of such
         Act and applicable laws or an exemption from the registration
         requirements of such Act and applicable laws is available with respect
         thereto."

         "This Warrant and the securities represented hereby are subject to a
         lock-up agreement between the Company and the original holder of this
         Warrant that prohibits sale or transfer of this Warrant or the
         securities represented hereby for a period of two years from the issue
         date of this Warrant. This Agreement is binding upon transferees. A
         copy of this Agreement is on file with the Secretary of the Company."

         Any legend required pursuant to applicable state securities laws.

         Purchaser has carefully read this letter and has discussed its
requirements and other applicable limitations upon Purchaser's resale of the
Shares with Purchaser's counsel.

                                         Very truly yours,

                                         WILLIAM M. HAWKINS, III

                           ___________________________

$18,000,000.00                                                   August 23, 2000
                                                        Redwood City, California

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED The 3DO Company, a Delaware corporation ("COMPANY"),
promises to pay to William M. Hawkins, III ("HOLDER"), or its registered
assigns, the principal sum of Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000.00), or
such lesser amount as shall equal the outstanding principal amount hereof and
any unpaid accrued interest hereon, as set forth below, shall be due and
payable on the earlier to occur of (i) August 23, 2003, or (ii) when declared
due and payable by Holder upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as
defined below). This Note is issued pursuant to the Convertible Note and
Warrant Purchase Agreement of even date herewith, as amended, modified or
supplemented (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") between Company and Holder. The
holder of this Note is subject to certain restrictions set forth in the
Purchase Agreement and shall be entitled to certain rights and privileges set
forth in the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase
Agreement.

     The following is a statement of the rights of Holder and the conditions
to which this Note is subject, and to which Holder, by the acceptance of this
Note, agrees:

     1.   INTEREST. Commencing on August 23, 2000 and on each August 23
thereafter until all outstanding principal and interest on this Note shall
have been paid in full, Company shall pay interest at the rate of ten and one
quarter percent (10.25%) per annum on the principal of this Note

<PAGE>

outstanding during the period beginning on the date of issuance of this Note
and ending on the date that the principal amount of this Note becomes due and
payable.

     2.   CONVERSION.

     (a)  HART-SCOTT-RODINO CLEARANCE. Under Section 2 of the Purchase
Agreement, Company and Holder have agreed to file with the United States
Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and the Antitrust Division of the United
States Department of Justice (the "DOJ") pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR ACT") all requisite
documents and notifications in order to provide for the conversion of this
Note into shares of Company's Common Stock. Upon the earlier of one business
day after (i) the date all required clearances or pre-termination notices
under the HSR Act have been received from the FTC and the DOJ (or all
applicable waiting periods have expired) or (ii) the date Holder and Company
are no longer required by law to make filings under the HSR to convert this
Note into capital stock, the entire principal amount of this Note together
with all accrued interest shall automatically convert into fully-paid and
non-assessable shares of Company's Common Stock. The number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued upon conversion shall be equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (i) the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note
at the date of conversion by (ii) $6.9375 (as adjusted for any future stock
splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or the like after August 16,
2000), provided that no fractional shares shall be issued. In the event that
the required clearances from the FTC and the DOJ are not obtained, this Note
shall not be convertible into Common Stock.

     (b)  MECHANICS AND EFFECT OF CONVERSION. No fractional shares of
Company's capital stock will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu
of any fractional share to which Holder would otherwise be entitled, Company
will pay to Holder in cash the amount of the unconverted principal and
interest balance of this Note that would otherwise be converted into such
fractional share. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2,
Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal offices of
Company or any transfer agent of Company. At its expense, Company will, as
soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder, at such
principal office, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to
which such Holder is entitled upon such conversion, together with any other
securities and property to which Holder is entitled upon such conversion
under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to Holder for any
cash amounts payable as described herein. Upon conversion of this Note,
Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities
under this Note with regard to that portion of the principal amount and
accrued interest being converted including without limitation the obligation
to pay such portion of the principal amount and accrued interest.

     3.   PREPAYMENT. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any
time by Company without the prior written consent of Holder. Any such
prepayment will be applied first to the payment of expenses due under this
Note, second to interest accrued on this Note and third, if the amount of
prepayment exceeds the amount of all such expenses and accrued interest, to
the payment of principal of this Note.

     4.   EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall
