                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

         THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into as
of the 9th day of October,  2001 by The 3DO Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and William M. Hawkins, III (the "Investor").

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS,  the Company  desires the  Investor to purchase  shares of the
Company's Common Stock pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement of even
date herewith;

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

                                   SECTION 1

                              REGISTRATION RIGHTS;
                         RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY

         1.1 Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms
shall have the following respective meanings:

         "Commission"  shall mean the Securities and Exchange  Commission or any
other federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act.

         "Holder"  shall mean any person  entering into this  Agreement with the
Company  or  holding  Registrable  Securities  to whom  the  rights  under  this
Agreement have been transferred in accordance with Section 1.11 hereof.

         The  terms  "register,"  "registered"  and  "registration"  refer  to a
registration  effected  by  preparing  and filing a  registration  statement  in
compliance  with the  Securities  Act,  and the  declaration  or ordering of the
effectiveness of such registration statement.

         "Registrable Securities" means the Shares; provided,  however, that the
Shares shall only be treated as  Registrable  Securities  if and so long as they
have not been (x) sold to or  through a broker or  dealer  or  underwriter  in a
public  distribution  or a  public  securities  transaction,  or (y)  sold  in a
transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act so that all transfer  restrictions  and  restrictive  legends
with respect thereto are removed upon the consummation of such sale.

         "Registration  Expenses" shall mean all reasonable expenses incurred by
the  Company  in  complying  with  Sections  1.5  hereof,   including,   without
limitation, all registration,  qualification and filing fees, printing expenses,
escrow fees, fees and  disbursements  of counsel for the Company,  blue

<PAGE>

sky fees and expenses, the expense of any special audits incident to or required
by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of regular employees of
the Company which shall be paid in any event by the Company) and all  reasonable
fees and  disbursements  of one special counsel for all of the Holders who elect
to include their Registrable Securities in any such registration up to a maximum
of $10,000.

         "Restricted  Securities"  shall  mean the Shares  required  to bear the
legend set forth in Section 1.3 hereof.

         "Securities Act" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  or
any similar or successor  federal  statute and the rules and  regulations of the
Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time.

         "Selling  Expenses"  shall  mean all  underwriting  discounts,  selling
commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the securities  registered by
the Holders and all fees and  disbursements  of special  counsel for the Holders
(as limited by Section 1.6).

         "Shares"  shall  mean the  shares of Common  Stock of the  Company  (x)
purchased by the Investor pursuant to the Stock Purchase  Agreement of even date
herewith and (y) issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

         "Warrant"  shall mean the warrant issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement of even date herewith to purchase up to 1,179,903 shares of the Common
Stock of the Company.

         1.2 Restrictions.  The Shares shall not be sold, assigned,  transferred
or  pledged  except  upon the  conditions  specified  in this  Agreement,  which
conditions  are  intended  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  provisions  of the
Securities  Act.  The  Investor  will cause any  proposed  purchaser,  assignee,
transferee  or pledgee  of the Shares to agree to take and hold such  securities
subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement.

         1.3 Restrictive  Legend.  Each certificate  representing the Shares and
any other securities issued in respect of the Shares upon any stock split, stock
dividend,  recapitalization,  merger,  consolidation  or  similar  event,  shall
(unless  otherwise  permitted by the provisions of Section 1.4 below) be stamped
or otherwise  imprinted  with a legend in  substantially  the following form (in
addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

                           "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN
                  ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
                  SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933,  AS  AMENDED.  SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE
                  SOLD,   TRANSFERRED   OR  PLEDGED  IN  THE   ABSENCE  OF  SUCH
                  REGISTRATION  OR UNLESS  THE  COMPANY  RECEIVES  AN OPINION OF
                  COUNSEL REASONABLY  ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR
                  TRANSFER  IS  EXEMPT  FROM  THE  REGISTRATION  AND  PROSPECTUS
                  DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT."

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

                           "THE SHARES  REPRESENTED BY THIS  CERTIFICATE  MAY BE
                  TRANSFERRED  ONLY IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE TERMS OF AGREEMENTS
                  BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE  ORIGINAL  STOCKHOLDER,  COPIES OF
                  WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY."

         Each Holder  consents  to the Company  making a notation on its records
and giving  instructions  to any transfer agent of the Restricted  Securities in
order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Section 1.

         1.4  Notice of  Proposed  Transfers.  The  holder  of each  certificate
representing  Restricted Securities,  by acceptance thereof, agrees to comply in
all respects with the  provisions of this Section 1. Prior to any proposed sale,
assignment,  transfer or pledge of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in
effect a registration  statement  under the Securities Act covering the proposed
transfer,  the holder  thereof shall give written  notice to the Company of such
holder's  intention to effect such transfer,  sale,  assignment or pledge.  Each
such  notice  shall  describe  the  manner  and  circumstances  of the  proposed
transfer,  sale,  assignment  or  pledge  in  sufficient  detail,  and  shall be
accompanied  at such  holder's  expense  by either  (a) an  unqualified  written
opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall be, reasonably
satisfactory  to the Company,  addressed to the Company,  to the effect that the
proposed  transfer  of  the  Restricted   Securities  may  be  effected  without
registration  under the  Securities  Act, or (b) a "no  action"  letter from the
Commission  to  the  effect  that  the  transfer  of  such  securities   without
registration  will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission
that action be taken with respect thereto,  or (c) any other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to counsel to the Company,  whereupon the holder of such Restricted
Securities  shall  be  entitled  to  transfer  such  Restricted   Securities  in
accordance with the terms of the notice  delivered by the holder to the Company.
The Company will not require such a legal  opinion or "no action"  letter (x) in
any  transaction in compliance  with Rule 144, (y) in any transaction in which a
Holder which is a corporation  distributes  Restricted  Securities solely to its
majority owned  subsidiaries or affiliates for no  consideration,  or (z) in any
transaction  in which a Holder  which is a  partnership  distributes  Restricted
Securities solely to partners thereof for no  consideration;  provided that each
transferee  agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 1. Each
certificate  evidencing the Restricted Securities  transferred as above provided
shall  bear,  except  if  such  transfer  is made  pursuant  to  Rule  144,  the
appropriate  restrictive  legends set forth in this  Section 1, except that such
certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel
for such  holder  and the  Company,  such  legend  is not  required  in order to
establish  compliance  with  any  provisions  of  the  Securities  Act  or  this
Agreement.

         1.5 Company Registration.

                  (a)  Notice  of  Registration.  If at any time or from time to
time, the Company shall determine to register any of its securities,  either for
its  own  account  or  the  account  of a  security  holder  other  than  (i)  a
registration  relating solely to employee  benefit plans, or (ii) a registration
relating  solely to a merger,  acquisition or exchange,  or (iii) a registration
relating to convertible debt transaction, the Company will:

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                           (i)  promptly  give  to the  Holders  written  notice
thereof; and

                           (ii)  include in such  registration  (and any related
qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance),  and in any underwriting
involved therein, all the Registrable  Securities specified in a written request
or requests made within  twenty (20) days after  receipt of such written  notice
from the Company by any Holder.

                  (b)  Underwriting.  If the  registration  of which the Company
gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting,  the
Company  shall so advise  the  Holders  as a part of the  written  notice  given
pursuant  to  Section  1.5(a)(i).  In such  event,  the  right of any  Holder to
registration  pursuant to Section 1.5 shall be  conditioned  upon such  Holder's
participation in such  underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable  Securities
in the  underwriting to the extent  provided  herein.  All Holders  proposing to
distribute their securities  through such underwriting  shall (together with the
Company  and the  other  holders  distributing  their  securities  through  such
underwriting)  enter into an  underwriting  agreement in customary form with the
managing  underwriter  selected for such  underwriting by the Company (or by the
holders   who  have   demanded   such   registration,   as  the  case  may  be).
Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of this  Section  1.5,  if the  managing
underwriter  determines in its sole discretion that marketing  factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten,  the managing underwriter
may  limit  the  number  of  Registrable   Securities  to  be  included  in  the
registration and underwriting,  on a pro rata basis based on the total number of
securities (including, without limitation,  Registrable Securities owned by each
participating  Holder) entitled to be included in such  registration;  but in no
event shall the amount of securities of the  participating  Holders  included in
the offering be reduced below 25% of the total amount of securities  included in
such offering.  To facilitate  the  allocation of shares in accordance  with the
above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares
allocated to any Holder or other holder to the nearest 100 shares. If any Holder
or other holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he or she may
elect to withdraw  therefrom  by written  notice to the Company and the managing
underwriter.  Any securities  excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall
be withdrawn  from such  registration,  and shall not be transferred in a public
distribution  prior to ninety  (90) days after the date of the final  prospectus
included in the registration statement relating thereto.

                  (c) Right to Terminate  Registration.  The Company  shall have
the right to terminate or withdraw any  registration  initiated by it under this
Section 1.5 prior to the effectiveness of such registration,  whether or not any
Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

         1.6 Expenses of  Registration.  All Registration  Expenses  incurred in
connection  with  registrations  pursuant to Section 1.5 (other than expenses in
excess  of  $10,000  of  any  special  audit  required  in  connection   with  a
registration  pursuant  to Section  1.5,  which shall be borne by the Holders of
Registrable  Securities  pro rata on the  basis of the  number  of  shares to be
registered) shall be borne by the Company.  Unless otherwise stated, all Selling
Expenses  relating to  securities  registered  on behalf of the Holders shall be
borne by the Holders of the registered  securities included in such registration
pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered.

                                      -4-

         1.7 Nasdaq National Market  Listing.  Upon a registration  initiated by
the Company under Section 1.5 being declared  effective by the  Commission,  the
Company  shall cause  immediately  thereafter  all such  Registrable  Securities
registered   thereunder  to  be  listed  on  the  Nasdaq  National  Market.

         1.8  Indemnification.

                  (a) The Company will  indemnify  each Holder,  with respect to
which  registration,  qualification or compliance has been effected  pursuant to
this Section 1, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or
actions  in  respect  thereof),  including  any of  the  foregoing  incurred  in
settlement of any litigation,  commenced or threatened,  arising out of or based
on any untrue  statement  (or  alleged  untrue  statement)  of a  material  fact
contained in any registration statement,  prospectus, offering circular or other
document,  or  any  amendment  or  supplement  thereto,  incident  to  any  such
registration,  qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission)  to state  therein a material  fact  required to be stated  therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not  misleading,  or any violation by the Company of any rule or
regulation  promulgated under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or any state securities laws applicable to
the  Company  in  connection  with  any  such  registration,   qualification  or
compliance,  and the Company will  reimburse  each such Holder for any legal and
any  other  expenses  reasonably  incurred  in  connection  with  investigating,
preparing or defending any such claim,  loss,  damage,  liability or action,  as
such expenses are incurred,  provided that the Company will not be liable in any
such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage,  liability or expense
arises out of or is based on any untrue  statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement  or omission,  made in reliance  upon and in  conformity  with written
information  furnished  to the Company by an  instrument  duly  executed by such
Holder and stated to be specifically  for use therein.

                  (b) Each Holder will, if Registrable  Securities  held by such
Holder  are  included  in  the   securities  as  to  which  such   registration,
qualification  or compliance is being effected,  indemnify the Company,  each of
its  directors  and  officers,  each  underwriter,  if  any,  of  the  Company's
securities  covered by such a registration  statement,  each person who controls
the  Company  or such  underwriter  within  the  meaning  of  Section  15 of the
Securities Act, against all claims,  losses, damages and liabilities (or actions
in respect  thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged
untrue  statement)  of a  material  fact  contained  in  any  such  registration
statement,  prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or
alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements  therein,  in light of the  circumstances in
which they were made,  not  misleading,  and will  reimburse  the Company,  such
directors,  officers, persons,  underwriters or control persons for any legal or
any other  expenses  reasonably  incurred in connection  with  investigating  or
defending any such claim,  loss,  damage,  liability or action, as such expenses
are  incurred,  in each case to the extent,  but only to the  extent,  that such
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission)
is made in such registration statement,  prospectus,  offering circular or other
document in reliance upon and in conformity with written  information  furnished
to the Company by an  instrument  duly  executed by such Holder and stated to be
specifically  for use  therein;  provided  however  that in no event  shall  any

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

indemnity  under this Section  1.8(b)  exceed the net proceeds from the offering
received by such Holder.

                  (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.8 is
held by a court of competent  jurisdiction to be unavailable to a party entitled
to indemnification under this Section 1.8 (the "Indemnified Party") with respect
to any loss,  liability,  claim,  damage or expense referred to herein, then the
party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party"), in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnified  Party hereunder,  instead shall contribute to the
amount  paid or  payable  by such  Indemnified  Party as a result of such  loss,
liability,  claim,  damage or expense in such  proportion as is  appropriate  to
reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying  Party on the one hand and of the
Indemnified  Party on the other in connection  with the  statements or omissions
that resulted in such loss, liability,  claim, damage or expense, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Indemnifying
Party and of the  Indemnified  Party shall be  determined by reference to, among
other things,  whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state a material fact relates to information  supplied by the
Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge,  access to  information,  and  opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement  or  omission.

                  (d)  Each   Indemnified   Party   shall  give  notice  to  the
Indemnifying Party promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of
any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying
Party to  assume  the  defense  of any such  claim or any  litigation  resulting
therefrom,  provided that counsel for the Indemnifying  Party, who shall conduct
the defense of such claim or  litigation,  shall be approved by the  Indemnified
Party (whose approval shall not  unreasonably be withheld),  and the Indemnified
Party  may  participate  in such  defense  at such  party's  expense;  provided,
however,  that an Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties
which may be represented  without  conflict by one counsel) shall have the right
to retain its own separate  counsel with the reasonable  fees and expenses to be
paid by the Indemnifying  Party if the Indemnified  Party reasonably  determines
that representation of such Indemnified Party would be appropriate due to actual
or potential  differing  interests  between such Indemnified Party and any other
party  represented  by such  counsel  in such  proceeding.  The  failure  of any
Indemnified  Party to give  notice as  provided  herein  shall not  relieve  the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 1 unless the failure to
give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party's ability to
defend such action.  No Indemnifying  Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement  which does not include as an
unconditional  term  thereof  the giving by the  claimant or  plaintiff  to such
Indemnified  Party of a release  from all  liability in respect of such claim or
litigation.

         1.9  Information  by  Holder.  The  Holder or  Holders  of  Registrable
Securities  included  in any  registration  shall  furnish to the  Company  such
information regarding such Holder or Holders, the Registrable Securities held by
them and the distribution  proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may
reasonably  request in writing and as shall be required in  connection  with any
registration,  qualification  or compliance  referred to in this Section 1.

         1.10 Rule 144 Reporting.  With a view to making  available the benefits
of certain rules and regulations of the Commission  which may at any time permit
the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration,  after
such time as a public  market  exists for the Common Stock of the  Company,  the
Company agrees to use its commercially  reasonable efforts to:

                  (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood  and defined in Rule 144 under the  Securities  Act, at all times
after the  effective  date that the  Company  becomes  subject to the  reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act;

                  (b) File with the  Commission  in a timely  manner all reports
and other  documents  required of the Company under the  Securities  Act and the
Exchange  Act (at  any  time  after  it has  become  subject  to such  reporting
requirements); and

                  (c) So long as a Holder  owns any  Restricted  Securities,  to
furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request a written  statement by the Company
as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 and of the
Exchange  Act,  a copy of the most  recent  annual  or  quarterly  report of the
Company,  and  such  other  reports  and  documents  of the  Company  and  other
information  in the  possession of or reasonably  obtainable by the Company as a
Holder may  reasonably  request in availing  itself of any rule or regulation of
the  Commission   allowing  a  Holder  to  sell  any  such  securities   without
registration.

         1.11 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights in connection with the
Company's  registration  of securities  granted to Holders under Section 1.5 may
only be assigned to (i) an affiliate or wholly owned  subsidiary  of the Holder;
(ii) an  acquiror  of at  least  100,000  Registrable  Securities;  or  (iii) an
acquiror of all of the Holder's  Shares;  provided  that written  notice of such
assignment is given to the Company and such  assignee  agrees to be bound by the
provisions of this Section 1.

Warrant No. CW-4                                1,179,903 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 Stock  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  1,179,903
fully paid and nonassessable  shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Common

<PAGE>

         3. Payment of Purchase  Price.  The  Purchase  Price may be paid (i) in
cash or by certified check or wire transfer, (ii) by the cancellation, surrender
or  forgiveness  by the Holder to the Company of any  promissory  notes or other

surrendered  being credited against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the
principal  amount  thereof plus accrued  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) 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.

                  (b) 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 and  amount  of  shares  of stock  and  other
securities and property  receivable upon 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

                                      -3-

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.

         12. Notices, Etc. Any notice,  request or other communication  required
or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given (i) upon receipt if personally delivered,  (ii) three (3) days after being
mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,  or (iii) one day after

THIS AGREEMENT  MUST BE COMPLETED,  SIGNED AND RETURNED TO THE 3DO COMPANY ALONG
WITH THE  SUBSCRIPTION  FORM  BEFORE THE SHARES  ISSUABLE  UPON  EXERCISE OF THE
WARRANT CERTIFICATE WILL BE ISSUED.

                                                             Date: _____________
The 3DO Company
100 Cardinal Way
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>
