(7) AMERICA ONLINE, INC. (""AOL'') AGREEMENT
In November 1999, Electronic Arts Inc., EA.com and AOL entered into a Ñve-year $81.0 million carriage fee
agreement (the ""Prior Agreement'') which gave EA.com the exclusive right to provide online games and
interactive entertainment content on the ""Games'' channels/areas of certain AOL online services and gain
access to and sell our products to AOL subscribers and to users of AOL properties. This agreement provided

content services, and launch new online game content and services, on the ""Games'' channels/areas of
certain AOL online services in exchange for a programming fee from AOL.
