                    Rights" means any rights of paternity or integrity, any
                    right to claim authorship of the Software, to object to any
                    distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or other
                    derogatory action in relation to, any Software, whether or
                    not such would be prejudicial to 3DFX honor or reputation,
                    and any similar rights existing under judicial or statutory
                    law of any country in the world, or under any treaty,
                    regardless whether or not such right is denominated or
                    generally referred to as a "moral" right. 3DFX hereby agrees
                    not to assert against EA or any EA licensee or customer any

            2.3     Execution of Documents. 3DFX will cooperate with EA, at EA's
                    expense, in obtaining patent, copyright, trademark or other

                    the Software, in each country in which EA Products
                    incorporating the Software are sold, distributed or licensed
                    and in taking any enforcement action, including any public
                    or private prosecution, to protect EA's intellectual
                    property rights in or to all EA Products which incorporate
                    the Software; provided, however, that any invention in the
                    Software and any resulting patent application shall belong
                    exclusively to 3DFX, and that any copyright registration by
                    EA in any EA Product incorporating the Software shall
                    reflect 3DFX as owner of the Software and any trademark
                    right or other intellectual property right in the Software
                    shall belong exclusively to 3DFX. Each party agrees to
                    cooperate with the other in executing and filing applicable
                    registrations and recordations by the other party to protect
                    such other party's rights and, to the extent needed, to

            2.4     Trademark License. 3DFX grants EA a non-exclusive,
                    royalty-free, sublicensable, irrevocable right and license,

                    Trademarks on and in the EA Products and in any reasonable
                    manner in connection with the advertising, promotion and
                    marketing thereof; provided that EA's use thereof complies
                    with the restrictions set forth in the 3DFX Style Guide as
                    such style guide may be reasonably amended from time to time
                    by 3DFX.

            2.5     Ownership. As between EA and 3DFX, EA is the sole and

                    Rights contained therein. To the extent that EA creates any
                    modifications to the Software, which modifications are not
                    particular to all or any of the EA Products, EA shall grant
                    3DFX a non-exclusive, perpetual worldwide license to use,
                    reproduce, make, sell and distribute such modifications.

3.          OBLIGATIONS OF EA

            [**]

                     (a)     EA shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts
                             to incorporate the Glide 2.3 version of the
                             Software (or such other version of the Software as
                             EA deems appropriate in its sole discretion) into
                             [*]. Although EA will exercise reasonable efforts
                             to activate the Software features appropriate [*],
                             EA makes no representation or warranty as to the
                             specific features which will be activated [*]. EA
                             makes no representation or warranty that EA will
                             successfully incorporate the Software into any of
                             the EA products, or that the EA products, with
                             incorporated 3DFX software, will be compatible with
                             the 3DFX Technology.

                     (b)     The parties acknowledge that, where it is not
                             commercially practicable for EA to complete
                             incorporation of the Software [*], EA may issue a
                             "patch" or a "silent revision" following commercial
                             release, [*].

                             Prior to commercial release [*], EA will exercise
                             reasonable efforts to arrange a meeting between
                             representatives of 3DFX and the development teams
                             [*]. During such meetings, 3DFX shall advise the
                             development teams on optimum use of the Software
                             and the features of the Software which 3DFX
                             recommends activating in the context of a
                             particular product.
                     
            3.2     Additional Products. EA may, in its sole discretion,
                    incorporate the Software into additional EA Products. In
                    addition, EA may, in its sole discretion, issue "patches" or
                    "silent revisions" for additional EA Products following the
                    commercial release of such additional Products. If
                    practicable, as determined by EA in its sole discretion, EA
                    will exercise reasonable efforts to arrange a meeting
                    between representatives of 3DFX and the development teams
                    creating each of such additional EA Products. During such
                    meetings, 3DFX shall advise the development teams on optimum
                    use of the Software and the features of the Software which
                    3DFX recommends activating in the context of a particular
                    product.

            3.3     Marketing Services. EA shall perform the marketing services
                    as specified on Exhibit B under the heading "EA Marketing
                    Services", at the times and in the manner specified therein.

            3.4     Disclaimer of Warranties. EA MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
                    WARRANTIES AS TO THE PERFORMANCE [*] (OR ANY OTHER EA
                    PRODUCT), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS TO THE
                    COMPATIBILITY OF SUCH PRODUCTS WITH THE TECHNOLOGY. EA
                    EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
                    INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
                    MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

            3.5     Restrictions. EA agrees that it will not prior to March 31,
                    1998 enter into a co-marketing arrangement with a third
                    party developer of graphics accelerator chips on terms and
                    conditions similar to those contained in this Agreements,
                    and including marketing obligations of a scope similar to
                    those contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                    nothing in this Agreement shall preclude EA from including
                    software in all or any of its Products which is designed to
                    facilitate compatibility with graphics accelerator chips of
                    any third parties, or engaging in any marketing services on
                    behalf of such third party which are similar to the services
                    set forth in Exhibit A (including, without limitation,
                    including the trademark of such third party on the packaging
                    of a Product), so long as the aggregate scope of such
                    services does not rise to the level of the aggregate scope
                    of services set forth herein.

4.          OBLIGATIONS OF 3DFX

            [*]

            4.2     Cooperation. 3DFX agrees to use good faith and diligent
                    efforts to consult with and aid EA in connection with EA's
                    fulfillment of its obligations pursuant to Section 3.

            4.3     Marketing Services. 3DFX shall perform the marketing
                    services as specified on Exhibit B under the heading "3DFX
                    Marketing Services", at the times and in the manner
                    specified therein.

            4.4     New Software; New Technology.

                     (a)     All improvements, modifications and enhancements to
                             the Software that are developed by 3DFX for a
                             period of two years following execution of this
                             Agreement shall be provided to EA at no cost.

                     (b)     3DFX shall provide notice to EA as far as
                             reasonably possible in advance prior to the
                             marketing and distribution of new 3DFX Technology.
                             Such notice will include information on the revised
                             features of such technology, and the impact on the
                             EA Products which have incorporated existing
                             versions of the Software. Until EA has fulfilled
                             its obligations under Section 3 of this Agreement,
                             future versions of the 3DFX Technology, will be
                             generally backward compatible with software
                             designed for previous versions of 3DFX Technology.
                             Thereafter, 3DFX will exercise reasonable efforts
                             to ensure that future versions of the 3DFX
                             Technology continues to be generally backward
                             compatible with software designed for previous
                             versions of 3DFX Technology; provided that 3DFX
                             makes no representation or warranty that such
                             future versions of the 3DFX Technology (distributed
                             after EA has fulfilled its obligations under
                             Section 3 of this Agreement) will be backward
                             compatible with such previous versions of the
                             Software.

                     (c)     3DFX will communicate and provide EA with
                             reasonable assistance, with respect to the
                             incorporation of future versions of the Software
                             into EA Products for the purpose of optimizing
                             compatibility between the EA Products and future
                             3DFX Technology.
