USA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION ORGANIZATION USA Networks, Inc. (the "Company" or "USAi") is a holding company, the subsidiaries of which are focused on the new convergence of entertainment, information and direct selling. On April 5, 2000, the Company acquired Precision Response Corporation ("PRC") (the "PRC Transaction"). See Note 3. On May 10, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of two entities which operate Hotel Reservations Network (the "Hotel Reservations Network Transaction"). See Note 3. On May 28, 1999, the Company acquired October Films, Inc. ("October Films"), in which Universal owned a majority interest, and the domestic film distribution and development business of Universal previously operated by Polygram Filmed Entertainment, Inc. ("PFE") (the "October Films/PFE Transaction"). See Note 3. The Company engages in ten principal areas of business. In the second quarter, the Company reorganized the segments into three units, USA Entertainment, USA Electronic Retailing and USA Information and Services. The units and segments are as follows: USA ENTERTAINMENT - NETWORKS AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION, which includes Networks and Studios USA.

USA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) - TELESERVICES, consisting of Precision Response Corporation, a leader in outsourced customer care for both large corporations and high-growth internet-focused companies. - INTERACTIVE, which includes Internet Shopping Network, the Company's online retailing networks business, and local city guide business. - ELECTRONIC COMMERCE & SERVICES, which primarily represents the Company's customer and e-care businesses. On January 20, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of USAi's common stock and Class B common stock, payable in the form of a dividend to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2000. The 100% stock dividend was paid on February 24, 2000. All share data and earnings per share amounts presented have been adjusted to reflect this stock split. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of the Company are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999. Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto are presented as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain certain information included in the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 Form 10-K") for a summary of all significant accounting policies. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an amendment to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ("SAB 101") which delayed the effective date for adoption of SAB 101 to the fourth quarter of 2000. SAB 101 provides guidance on revenue recognition criteria for certain types of transactions. SAB 101 also provides guidance on the disclosures that companies should make about their revenue recognition policies and the impact of events and trends on revenue. In June 2000, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee ("AcSEC") issued SOP 00-2, ACCOUNTING BY PRODUCERS OR DISTRIBUTORS OF FILMS ("SOP 00-2"), which replaces FASB Statement No. 53, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING BY PRODUCERS AND DISTRIBUTORS OF MOTION PICTURE FILMS. AcSEC concluded that film costs would be accounted for under an inventory model. In addition, the SOP considers such topics as revenue recognition (fixed fees and minimum guarantees in variable fee arrangements), fee allocation in multiple 7
USA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) films, accounting for exploitation costs, and impairment assessment. The SOP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SAB 101 and SOP 00-2, although the impact is not expected to be material. NOTE 3--BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS PRC TRANSACTION On April 5, 2000, USAi acquired PRC in a tax-free merger by issuing approximately 24.3 million shares of USAi common stock for all of the outstanding stock of PRC for a total value of approximately $708.3 million (the "PRC Transaction"). In connection with the acquisition, the Company repaid approximately $32.3 million of outstanding borrowings under PRC's existing revolving credit facility. The PRC Transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of purchase. The unallocated excess of acquisition costs over net assets acquired of $647.0 million has been allocated to goodwill, which is being amortized over 20 years. Assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date consist of the following: (IN THOUSANDS) -------------- Current assets.............................................. $65,335 Non-current assets.......................................... 90,001 Goodwill.................................................... 646,975 Current liabilities......................................... 60,292 Non-current liabilities..................................... 33,739 HOTEL RESERVATIONS NETWORK TRANSACTION On May 10, 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of substantially all of the liabilities of two entities which operate Hotel Reservations Network, a leading consolidator of hotel rooms for resale in the consumer market in the United States. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed comprise Hotel Reservations Network, Inc. ("HRN"), a wholly owned subsidiary of USAi. The initial purchase price was $149.2 million, net of a working capital adjustment of $0.8 million, plus contingent payments based on operating performance during the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the twelve month periods ended March 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002. The purchase price was paid in the form of a cash payment of $145.0 million on May 11, 1999 and a promissory note of $5.0 million which was paid on January 30, 2000 and which bore interest at 4.75% per annum. In addition, the Company paid $50.0 million related to HRN's performance during the year ended December 31, 1999. Furthermore, in conjunction with HRN's initial public offering (see below), USAi issued to the sellers the number of shares of HRN class A common stock equal to 10% of the aggregate value of the equity of HRN immediately prior to a transaction, as defined. USAi issued the sellers approximately 4.9 million shares of HRN class A common stock valued at $78.4 million. Pursuant to an amendment of the asset purchase agreement with the sellers of HRN's predecessor business entered into in contemplation of the initial public offering, HRN agreed to issue HRN class A common stock to the sellers in exchange for 8
USA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3--BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) releasing the obligation to make additional performance-based payments covering the twelve month periods ending March 31, 2001 and 2002. HRN issued the sellers approximately 5.1 million shares of HRN class A common stock valued at $81.6 million. The contingent payment for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2000 is currently being finalized and is estimated to be approximately $45.6 million. This estimated amount is reflected as a liability and resulted in additional goodwill which will be amortized over the remaining life of the goodwill. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price, including the initial contingent payments of $50 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, the stock issued to the sellers in conjunction with the initial public offering, and the estimated contingent payment for the twelve months ended March 31, 2000 has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of purchase, resulting in goodwill of approximately $405.9 million which is being amortized over a ten year life. On March 1, 2000, HRN completed an initial public offering for approximately 6.2 million shares of its class A common stock, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $90.0 million. At the completion of the offering, USAi owned approximately 70.6% of the outstanding shares of HRN. USAi recorded a gain related to the initial public offering of approximately $3.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000. OCTOBER FILMS/PFE TRANSACTION In connection with the acquisition of October Films, Inc., as of May 28, 1999, the Company issued 600,000 shares of Common Stock to Universal and paid cash consideration of approximately $12 million to October Films shareholders (other than Universal) for total consideration of $23.6 million. To fund the cash consideration portion of the transaction, Universal purchased from USAi 600,000 additional shares of Common Stock at $20.00 per share. In addition, the Company assumed $83.2 million of outstanding debt under October Films' credit agreement which was repaid from cash on hand on August 20, 1999. Also on May 28, 1999, USAi acquired from Universal the domestic film distribution and development business previously operated by PFE and PFE's domestic video and specialty video businesses. The acquisition included PFE's domestic production assets such as Interscope Communications and Propaganda Films, as well as the following distribution assets: PolyGram Video, Polygram Filmed Entertainment Canada, Gramercy Pictures, and PolyGram Films. In connection with the transaction, USAi agreed to assume certain liabilities related to the PFE businesses acquired. In addition, USAi advanced $200.0 million to Universal pursuant to an eight year, full recourse, interest-bearing note in connection with a distribution agreement pursuant to which USAi will distribute, in the U.S. and Canada, certain Polygram theatrical films which were not acquired in the transaction. The advance is repaid as revenues are received under the distribution agreement and, in any event, will be repaid in full at maturity. Through June 30, 2000, approximately $78.7 million had been offset against the advance and $11.7 million of interest had accrued. The October Films/PFE Transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of purchase.

NOTE 4--STOCK-BASED WARRANTS In January 2000, HRN entered into an exclusive affiliate distribution and marketing agreement with Travelocity and issued to Travelocity a performance warrant at the completion of the initial public offering. The performance warrant is subject to vesting based on achieving certain performance targets. If the performance warrant becomes fully vested and exercisable it will entitle the holder to acquire 2,447,955 shares of HRN class A common stock at the initial public offering price. The Company also entered into other exclusive affiliate distribution and marketing agreements and issued 1,428,365 warrants to purchase HRN class A common stock at the initial public offering price at the completion of the public offering. All stock warrants were accounted for in accordance with EITF 96-18. In relation to warrants to purchase 1,428,365 shares of class A common stock, the Company recorded an asset of approximately $14.7 million based on the fair market value of the warrants at the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share. The asset will be amortized ratably as non-cash distribution and marketing expense over the terms of the exclusive affiliation agreements, which range from two to five years. The performance warrant, which will be subject to vesting based on the achievement of defined performance targets will be valued at the time the award is probable of being earned. The portion of the value related to the completed term of the related affiliation agreement will be expensed, and the remaining non-cash deferred distribution and marketing expense will be amortized over the remaining term of the affiliation agreement. The value of such related warrants may be subject to adjustment until such time that the warrant is nonforfeitable, fully vested and exercisable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL USAi is a holding company, with subsidiaries focused on the new convergence of entertainment, information and direct selling. USAi adopted its present corporate structure as part of the Universal transaction. USAi maintains control and management of Holdco and USANi LLC, and manages the businesses held by USANi LLC in substantially the same manner as they would be if USAi held them directly through wholly owned subsidiaries. In April 2000, the Company acquired Precision Response Corporation ("PRC"), a leader in outsourced customer care for both large corporations and high-growth internet-focused companies (the "PRC Transaction"). In May 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of two entities which operate Hotel Reservations Network ("HRN") (the "Hotel Reservations Network Transaction"), a leading consolidator of hotel rooms for resale in the consumer market in the United States. Also in May 1999, the Company acquired October Films, Inc. and the domestic film distribution and development business of Universal which was previously operated by Polygram Filmed Entertainment ("USA Films") (the "October Films/PFE Transaction"). In connection with these transactions, the Company established the Teleservices, Hotel reservations and Filmed entertainment business segments. On March 1, 2000, Hotel Reservations Network completed an initial public offering. The Hotel Reservation Network's class A common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "ROOM". EBITDA Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is defined as operating profit plus depreciation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of cable distribution fees and non-cash distribution and marketing expense. EBITDA is presented here as a management tool and as a valuation methodology for companies in the media, entertainment and communications industries. EBITDA does not purport to represent cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. THIS REPORT INCLUDES FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS RELATING TO SUCH MATTERS AS ANTICIPATED FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, BUSINESS PROSPECTS, NEW DEVELOPMENTS, NEW MERCHANDISING STRATEGIES AND SIMILAR MATTERS. A VARIETY OF FACTORS COULD CAUSE THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS AND EXPERIENCE TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS OR OTHER EXPECTATIONS EXPRESSED IN THE COMPANY'S FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT THE OPERATIONS, PERFORMANCE, DEVELOPMENT AND RESULTS OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGES IN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN THE MARKETS SERVED BY THE COMPANY; FUTURE REGULATORY ACTIONS AND CONDITIONS IN THE COMPANY'S OPERATING AREAS; COMPETITION FROM OTHERS; SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF THE COMPANY'S DIVISIONS' MANAGEMENT STRUCTURES; PRODUCT DEMAND AND MARKET ACCEPTANCE; THE ABILITY TO PROTECT PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY OR TO OBTAIN NECESSARY LICENSES ON COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE TERMS; AND OBTAINING AND RETAINING KEY EXECUTIVES AND EMPLOYEES. TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING THE COMPARABILITY OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION During the past three years, we have augmented our media and electronic commerce businesses by acquiring and developing several new businesses. As a result, the changes resulting from the PRC transaction, the Hotel Reservations Network transaction and the October Films/PFE transaction should be considered when comparing the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 to 18
June 30, 1999. To enhance comparability, the discussion of consolidated results of operations is supplemented, where appropriate, with separate pro forma financial information that gives effect to the above transactions as if they had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods presented. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the revenues and cost of revenues which would have actually been reported had the PRC transaction, the Hotel Reservations Network transaction and the October Films/PFE transaction occurred at the beginning of January 1, 1999, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results. Reference should be made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Summary Financial Data included herein. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 VS. QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 The PRC transaction, the Hotel Reservations Network transaction, the October Films/PFE transaction and the consolidation of electronic retailing operations in Germany as of January 1, 2000, resulted in increases in net revenues, operating costs and expenses, other income (expense), minority interest and income taxes. However, no significant discussion of these fluctuations is presented. NET REVENUES For the three months ended June 30, 2000, revenues increased by $320.6 million, or 41.2%, to $1.1 billion from $777.4 million in 1999 primarily due to increases of $74.3 million, $73.4 million, $70.2 million, $55.1 million and $23.3 million from the Networks and television production, Electronic retailing, Teleservices, Hotel reservations and Ticketing operations businesses, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, revenues increased by $594.5 million, or 39.5%, to $2.1 billion from $1.5 billion in 1999 primarily due to increases of $176.9 million, $121.7 million, $110.3 million, $70.2 million and $51.6 million from the Electronic retailing, Networks and television production, Hotel reservations, Teleservices and Ticketing operations businesses, respectively.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, net interest expense decreased by $5.6 million and $7.3 million, respectively, compared to 1999 primarily due to lower borrowing levels as a result of the repayment of bank debt in 1999 from the proceeds of equity transactions involving Universal and Liberty Media Corporation, a subsidiary of AT&T Corporation ("Liberty"). 19
In the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company realized a gain of $3.7 million related to the initial public offering of its subsidiary, HRN.

INCOME TAXES USAi's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 of 69.5% and 59.1%, respectively, was higher than the statutory rate due to the impact of non-deductible goodwill, no tax benefits for consolidated subsidiary losses which are not included in the Company's consolidated tax returns taxable income and state income taxes. MINORITY INTEREST For the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, minority interest primarily represented Universal's and Liberty's ownership interest in USANi LLC, Liberty's ownership interest in Holdco, the public's ownership in TMCS, and the public's ownership interest in HRN since February 25, 2000. PRO FORMA QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 VS.

Prior to this acquisition, the results reflect only SciFi.com. Cost related to revenue increased by $4.9 million and $7.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the 25
respective periods in 1999. EBITDA loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 increased by $1.5 million and $3.2 million, as compared to the respective periods in 1999. OTHER Other revenue relates to a business that was sold in 1999, which resulted in decreased revenue of $2.8 million and $6.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the respective periods in 1999. FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities was $255.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $189.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. These cash proceeds and available cash and borrowings were used to pay for acquisitions of $148.2 million, to make capital expenditures of $76.3 million, and to make mandatory tax distribution payments to the LLC partners of $68.1 million. On April 5, 2000, the Company acquired Precision Response Corp. ("PRC") in a tax-free merger by issuing approximately 24.3 million shares of USAi common stock in exchange for all outstanding equity of PRC. In conjunction with the acquisition, USAi repaid $32.3 of outstanding borrowing under PRC's existing credit facility. On March 1, 2000, HRN completed an initial public offering for approximately 6.2 million shares of its class A common stock, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $90.0 million. USAi recorded a gain related to the initial public offering of approximately $3.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000. Pursuant to an agreement between USAi and HRN, USAi made a contingent payment of $12.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000. Furthermore, USAi is required to make a contingent cash payment to the sellers of the two entities which operated HRN based on the results of HRN for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2000, which payment is expected to be finalized in the third quarter. The amount is estimated to be approximately $45.6 million. The obligation for contingent payments for the twelve month periods ending March 31, 2001 and 2002 was released by the sellers in exchange for 5.1 million shares of HRN common stock. On February 29, 2000, the Company made a mandatory tax distribution payment to Universal and Liberty in the amount of $68.1 million. In connection with the 1999 acquisition of Universal's domestic film distribution and development business previously operated by PFE and PFE's domestic video and specialty video businesses transaction, USAi advanced $200.0 million to Universal in 1999 pursuant to an eight year, full recourse, interest-bearing note in connection with a distribution agreement, under which USAi will distribute, in the United States and Canada, certain Polygram Filmed Entertainment, Inc. theatrical films that were not acquired in the transaction. The advance is repaid as revenues are received under the distribution agreement and, in any event, will be repaid in full at maturity. Through June 30, 2000, approximately $78.7 million has been offset against the advance. In July 1999, USAi announced that its Board of Directors authorized the extension of the Company's stock repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to 20 million shares of USAi's common stock, on the open market or in negotiated transactions. In July 2000, USAi announced that its Board of Directors authorized the extension of the Company's stock repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to 20 million shares of USAi's common stock over an indefinite period of time, on the open market or in negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of purchases, if any, will depend on market conditions and other factors, including USAi's overall capital structure. Funds for these purchases will come from cash on hand or borrowings under the Company's credit facility. During the six months ended 26
June 30, 2000, the Company purchased 4.9 million shares of its common stock for aggregate consideration of $106.2 million. Under the investment agreement relating to the Universal Transaction, USAi has granted to Universal and Liberty preemptive rights with respect to future issuances of USAi's common stock and Class B common stock. These preemptive rights generally allow Universal and Liberty the right to maintain an ownership percentage in USAi equal to the ownership percentage that entity held, on a fully converted basis, immediately prior to the issuance. In May 2000, Liberty exercised its preemptive right for approximately 7.9 million shares related principally to the PRC transaction, resulting in proceeds of approximately $179.1 million to USAi. On February 12, 1998, USAi and USANi LLC, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement that provided for a $1.6 billion credit facility. $1.0 billion was permanently repaid in prior years. The $600.0 million revolving credit facility expires on December 31, 2002. As of June 30, 2000, there was $597.4 million available for borrowing after taking into account outstanding letters of credit. On July 28, 2000 USAi and Styleclick.com Inc., a leading enabler of e-commerce for manufacturers and retailers, completed the merger of Internet Shopping Network ("ISN") and Styleclick.com. The entities were merged with a new company, Styleclick, Inc., which owns and operates the combined properties of Styleclick.com Inc. and ISN. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, USAi invested $40 million in cash and will contribute $10 million in dedicated media, and will receive warrants to purchase additional shares of the new company. On a fully diluted basis, USAi owns approximately 75% of the new company and Styleclick.com stockholders own approximately 25%. At closing, Styleclick.com repaid the $10 million of borrowing outstanding under the bridge loan provided by USAi. USAi implemented its plan to disaffiliate its television stations in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Dallas and the Atlanta markets in prior years. USAi has incurred and will continue to incur expenditures to develop programming for these stations, which during the development and transitional stage, may not be offset by sufficient advertising revenues. USAi believes that the process of disaffiliation can be successfully managed so as not to have a material adverse effect but rather to maximize the value of the broadcasting stations. USAi anticipates that it will need to invest working capital towards the development and expansion of its overall operations. Due primarily to the expansion of its Internet businesses and the roll-out of new television stations, future capital expenditures may be higher than current amounts. In management's opinion, available cash, internally generated funds and available borrowings will provide sufficient capital resources to meet USAi's foreseeable needs. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, USAi did not pay any cash dividends, and none are permitted under USAi's existing credit facility. USAi's subsidiaries have no material restrictions on their ability to transfer amounts to fund USAi's operations. SEASONALITY USAi's businesses are subject to the effects of seasonality. Networks and Television Production revenues are influenced by advertiser demand and the seasonal nature of programming, and generally peak in the spring and fall. USAi believes seasonality impacts its Electronic Retailing segment but not to the same extent it impacts the retail industry in general. Ticketing Operations revenues are occasionally impacted by fluctuation in the availability of events for sale to the public. 27
Hotel reservations revenues are influenced by the seasonal nature of holiday travel in the markets it serves, and has historically peaked in the fall. As the business expands into new markets, the impact of seasonality is expected to lessen. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK INTEREST RATE RISK The Company's exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's short-term investment portfolio and issuance of debt. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio. The Company has a prescribed methodology whereby it invests its excess cash in debt instruments of government agencies and high quality corporate issuers. To further mitigate risk, the vast majority of the securities have a maturity date within 60 days. The portfolio is reviewed on a periodic basis and adjusted in the event that the credit rating of a security held in the portfolio has deteriorated. At June 30, 2000, the Company's outstanding debt approximated $599.1 million, substantially all of which is fixed rate obligations. If market rates decline, the Company runs the risk that the related required payments on the fixed rate debt will exceed those based on the current market rate. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK The Company conducts business in certain foreign markets. However, the level of operations in foreign markets is insignificant to the consolidated results. EQUITY PRICE RISK The Company has a minimal investment in equity securities of a publicly-traded Company. This investment, as of June 30, 2000, was considered available-for-sale, with the unrealized gain deferred as a component of stockholders' equity. It is not customary for the Company to make investments in equity securities as part of its investment strategy. 28
PART II--OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the Ticketmaster Consumer Class Action litigation previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K, a hearing date for class certification has been set by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri for December 15, 2000, and a trial date has been set for October 29, 2001. In the Home Shopping Network Consumer Class Action litigation previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K, the plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint that, among other things, added an additional named plaintiff, added Home Shopping Club LP, Warrantech Helpdesk, Inc., Banctech Service, Inc. and Timespace Internet, Inc. as named defendants, and removed two individuals as named defendants. On May 9, 2000, Home Shopping Network, Inc. and Home Shopping Club LP (the "HSN Defendants") filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On May 23, 2000, the Cook County Circuit Court addressed the HSN Defendants' motion to dismiss by entering an Order that, in pertinent part, required the plaintiffs to file a second amended complaint. On June 6, 2000, the plaintiffs filed a second amended class action complaint that, among other things, added an additional named plaintiff and asserted two new causes of action for negligent misrepresentation and breach of contract. The HSN Defendants have filed an answer and affirmative defenses to the second amended complaint and intend to continue to vigorously defend this action. In the Urban litigation previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K and the Company's 1st Quarter Form 10-Q, the Virginia Supreme Court entered an Order denying Urban's Petition for Appeal on June 2, 2000. On June 16, 2000, Urban filed a Petition for Rehearing with the Virginia Supreme Court requesting that the Court reconsider its Order dated June 2, 2000. On July 21, 2000, the Virginia Supreme Court entered an Order denying Urban's Petition for Rehearing. On August 1, 2000, Urban and Mr. Theodore M. White, President and owner of all of the voting stock of Urban, filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Columbia. In addition, by order dated May 3, 2000, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia denied Urban's motion to reopen Urban's prior chapter 11 case and clarify certain factual and legal matters contained within the Court's September 30, 1996 confirmation order, which motion had been joined in by Amresco Funding Corporation, the entity that provided Urban with bankruptcy exit financing. On May 15, 2000, Urban filed a motion requesting that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court reconsider its May 3, 2000 ruling, or, in the alternative, amend findings of fact. By Memorandum Opinion and Order dated June 9, 2000, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court denied Urban's motion to reconsider, or, in the alternative, to amend findings of fact. In the Anthony Martin litigation, previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K, the parties have agreed to a settlement that will not have a material effect on the Company. Such settlement represents the final resolution of this matter, and accordingly, it will not be reported in future filings. In the Ticketmaster Cash Discount Litigation previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K and the Company's 1st Quarter Form 10-Q, the plaintiff filed an amended class action petition in state court on June 20, 2000 asserting an additional claim that the cash discount program in question violates a provision in a Merchant Services Bankcard Agreement between Ticketmaster and Chase Merchant Services L.L.C. and First Financial Bank. Plaintiff claims all consumers using VISA and Mastercard to purchase tickets from Ticketmaster are third-party beneficiaries of this contract. Plaintiff also filed on July 14, 2000 an amended class certification motion. In addition to the nine-state class sought by Plaintiff's original class certification request, the amended motion seeks the certification of a nationwide class of VISA and Mastercard customers since approximately April 1998 to prosecute the alleged third-party beneficiary claim. Ticketmaster filed a summary judgment motion on May 1, 2000 and Plaintiff filed a second amended motion for partial summary judgment on May 24, 2000. Currently no hearing is set on any of these motions. On July 20, 2000, Ticketmaster removed the case to federal court in McAllen, Texas on 29
the grounds that the newly added third-party beneficiary claim raises a federal question under the Truth-in-Lending Act. On August 1, 2000, Plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case to state court. Hearing on the motion to remand is currently anticipated to occur on September 7, 2000. Ticketmaster continues to believe that plaintiff's claims lack merit and expects to continue to vigorously defend itself in this case. In the N2K litigation previously reported in the Company's 1st Quarter Form 10-Q, the Court denied Ticketmaster's motion for summary adjudication as to N2K's Cross-Complaint on June 29, 2000. Trial is currently scheduled to commence on September 20, 2000. In the Polygram Filmed Entertainment litigation, previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K and the Company's 1st Quarter 10-Q, the parties have agreed to a settlement for an amount that is not material to the financial condition of the Company. Such settlement represents the final resolution of this matter, and accordingly, it will not be reported in future filings. In the World Wrestling Federation litigation, previously reported in the Company's 1st Quarter Form 10-Q, in a decision dated June 27, 2000, the Delaware Chancery Court dismissed USA Cable's complaint, holding that while USA Cable had no obligation to match the terms of the Viacom/CBS offer pertaining to matters other than the four wrestling entertainment programs, USA had failed to match the terms of the Viacom Inc. and CBS Corporation offer. USA Cable is pursuing an expedited appeal of the decision of the Chancery Court in the Delaware Supreme Court. Oral argument of the appeal is scheduled for August 14, 2000. The Company is engaged in various other lawsuits either as plaintiff or defendant. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these various lawsuits should not have a material impact on the Company. ITEM 4.

HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION ORGANIZATION Home Shopping Network, Inc. (the "Company" or "Home Shopping"), is a holding company, whose subsidiary USANi LLC is engaged in diversified media and electronic commerce businesses. In December 1996, the Company consummated a merger with USA Networks, Inc. ("USAi"), formerly known as HSN, Inc., and became a subsidiary of USAi (the "Home Shopping Merger").

("Universal"), an entity controlled by The Seagram Company Ltd. ("Seagram") (the "Universal Transaction"). In connection with the Universal Transaction, the Company formed a new subsidiary, USANi LLC, and contributed the operating assets of the Home Shopping Network services ("HSN") to USANi LLC. Furthermore, USAi contributed Networks and Studios USA to USANi LLC on February 12, 1998. The Company is a holding company, the subsidiaries of which are engaged in diversified media and electronic commerce businesses. The five principal areas of business are: - Networks and television production, which includes Networks and Studios USA.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of the Company are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000. Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.

NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 Form 10-K") for a summary of all significant accounting policies. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an amendment to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ("SAB 101") which delayed the effective date for adoption of SAB 101 to the fourth quarter of 2000. SAB 101 provides guidance on revenue recognition criteria for certain types of transactions. SAB 101 also provides guidance on the disclosures that companies should make about their revenue recognition policies and the impact of events and trends on revenue. In June 2000, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee ("AcSEC") issued SOP 00-2, ACCOUNTING BY PRODUCERS OR DISTRIBUTORS OF FILMS ("SOP 00-2"), which replaces FASB Statement No. 53, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING BY PRODUCERS AND DISTRIBUTORS OF MOTION PICTURE FILMS. AcSEC concluded that film costs would be accounted for under an inventory model. In addition, the SOP considers such topics as revenue recognition (fixed fees and minimum guarantees in variable fee arrangements), fee allocation in multiple films, accounting for exploitation costs, and impairment assessment. The SOP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SAB 101 and SOP 00-2, although the impact is not expected to be material.

Separate financial statements for each of the Wholly Owned Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented and such Wholly Owned Subsidiary Guarantors are not filing separate reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 because USAi's and the Company's management has determined that the information contained in such documents would not be material to investors. USANi LLC and its subsidiaries have no material restrictions on their ability to transfer amounts to fund USAi's operations.

Without limiting the generality or the effect of the foregoing, the Corporation may enter into one or more agreements with any person that provide for indemnification greater or different than that provided in this Article VIII.

ARTICLE XI The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation except that under no circumstances may such amendment be adopted except as prescribed by Article IV, above, and provided further that the rights of the -5-
Class B Common Stock may not be amended, altered, changed or repealed without the approval of the holders of the requisite number of said shares of Class B Common Stock. ARTICLE XII The number of directors of the Corporation shall be such number as shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. A director may be removed, at any time, either with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of each of the classes of shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, except that directors elected by the holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation exclusively, pursuant to Subsection C(4) of Article IV, may only be removed by the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation. The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation may only be removed without cause by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the entire Board of Directors.

This paragraph shall be of no force and effect following such time as the Chief Executive Officer as of February 12, 1998 ceases to be Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms of this paragraph and the Stockholders Agreement dated as of October 19, 1997 among Universal Studios, Inc. ("Universal"), Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty"), Barry Diller, the Corporation and The Seagram Company Ltd. (the "Stockholders Agreement"). This paragraph shall only apply with respect to a removal of the Chief Executive Officer without Cause as such term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement. ARTICLE XIII This Article XIII shall be applicable to the Corporation so long as the provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Communications Act"), are applicable to the Corporation. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no transfer of the Corporation's capital stock, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be permitted, and any purported transfer thereof shall be void AB INITIO to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and the intended transferee shall be deemed never to have had an interest therein, if such transfer or purported transfer would violate (or result in the violation of any provision of the Communications Act. Subject to further restrictions, if any, that may be contained in the By-Laws of the Corporation (i) at no time shall more than one-fourth (25%) of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation, regardless of class, nor shares of the capital stock of the Corporation representing in the aggregate more than one-fourth (25%) of the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation, be owned of record or beneficially voted by or for the account of any alien, the representative of any alien, any corporation organized under the laws of a foreign country or a foreign government or a representative thereof ("Aliens"); and (ii) the Corporation shall not be controlled -6-
directly or indirectly by any other corporation of which more than one-fourth (25%) of the capital stock is owned of record or voted by Aliens. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a transfer has taken place that falls within the scope of this Article XIII or that a person intends to acquire beneficial ownership of any shares of the capital stock of the Corporation that would result in a violation of this Article XIII (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall take such action as it or they deem advisable to refuse to give effect or to prevent such transfer, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such transfer on the books of the Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such transfer. Without limitation to this Article XIII, any purported transferee of shares acquired in violation of this Article XIII and any person retaining shares in violation of this Article XIII shall be deemed to have acted as agent on behalf of the Corporation in holding those shares acquired or retained in violation of this Article XIII and shall be deemed to hold such shares in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of the Corporation. Such shares shall be deemed a separate class of stock until such time as the shares are redeemed as provided in the following paragraph. The holder shall have no right to receive dividends or other distributions with respect to such shares, and shall have no right to vote such shares. Such holder shall have no claim, cause of action or any other recourse whatsoever against any transferor of shares acquired in violation of this Article XIII. The holder's sole right with respect to such shares shall be to receive the Redemption Price pursuant to the following paragraph. Any distribution by the Corporation in respect of such shares acquired or retained in violation of this Article XIII shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand. The Board of Directors shall, within three months after receiving notice of a transfer of shares that violates this Article XIII or a retention of shares in violation of this Article XIII, subject to the requirements of Delaware law applicable to redemptions, redeem such shares for the Redemption Price in cash on such date within such three-month period as the Board of Directors may determine, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall not redeem any outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation owned by Universal and its controlled affiliates issued at the Closing (as defined in the Investment Agreement, dated as of October 19, 1997, as amended and restated as of December 18, 1997, among Universal, the Corporation, Home Shopping Network, Inc. and Liberty (the "Investment Agreement")), acquired not in violation of the Investment Agreement and related agreements and otherwise acquired not in violation of the Communications Act. For purposes of this Article XIII, "Redemption Price" shall mean the lower of (i) the price paid by the transferee from whom shares are being redeemed, and (ii) the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on each of the ten trading days immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption by the Board of Directors, or if the Common Stock is not then traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the average of the last reported sales prices of the Common Stock on each of the ten trading days immediately preceding the relevant date as reported on any exchange or quotation system over which the Common Stock may be traded, or if the Common Stock is not then traded over any exchange or quotation system, then the price determined in good faith by the Board of Directors as the fair market value of such class of capital stock on the relevant date. -7-
The Corporation shall have the right to require that any prospective stockholder certify as to its citizenship and control and may refuse to transfer and/or issue shares of stock in the Corporation if to do so would likely cause the Corporation to be in violation of the Communications Act. If the provisions of Section 310 of the Communications Act are amended or replaced with similar legislation, including amendments to allow transfers that would otherwise be precluded by this Certificate, then the restrictions on transfer and the right of redemption set forth in the foregoing paragraphs shall be modified without further action of the Corporation's stockholders to be consistent with any such amendments or replacement legislation, including, without limitation, to allow transfers to Aliens to the maximum extent permitted by Section 310 of the Communications Act, and, as so modified, shall apply to the Corporation. The By-Laws of the Corporation, as now in effect or as hereafter from time to time amended, may contain additional restrictions on ownership of the Corporation's capital stock by Aliens and provisions to implement the limitations set forth in the foregoing paragraphs, including, without limitation, provisions modifying, restricting or eliminating voting, dividend, transfer or other rights consistent with the provisions of this Certificate otherwise applicable to any shares of the Corporation's capital stock; provided such By-Laws shall not be inconsistent with the proviso applicable to Universal set forth in the fifth paragraph of this Article XIII. For purposes of this Article XIII, the term "alien" shall have the meaning ascribed thereto by the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") on the date hereof and in the future as the FCC may change such meaning from time to time. -8-

Any action permitted to be taken by the Committee under the Plan may be taken by the full Board in its discretion, and in such case the Board shall be treated as the Committee hereunder. Any determination made by the Committee or pursuant to delegated authority pursuant to the provisions of the Plan with respect to any Award shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee or such delegate at the time of the grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan, at any time thereafter. All decisions made by the Committee or any appropriately delegated officer pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Corporation and Plan participants. SECTION 3. Common Stock Subject To Plan The total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for grant under the Plan shall be 20,000,000. No participant may be granted Awards pursuant to the Plan covering in excess of 16,000,000 shares of Common Stock over the life of the Plan. Shares subject to an Award under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or may be treasury shares. If any shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited for which the participant did not receive any benefits of ownership (as such phrase is construed by the Commission or its staff), or if any Stock Option (and related Stock Appreciation Right, if any) terminates without being exercised, or if any Stock Appreciation Right is exercised for cash, shares subject to such Awards shall again be available for distribution in connection with Awards under the Plan. In the event of any change in corporate capitalization (including, but not limited to, a change in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding), such as a stock split or a corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation, separation, including a Spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Corporation, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Corporation, the Committee or Board may make such substitution or adjustments in the aggregate number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and the maximum limitation upon Awards to be granted to any participant, in A-4
the number, kind and option price of shares subject to outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in the number and kind of shares subject to other outstanding Awards granted under the Plan and/or such other equitable substitution or adjustments as it may determine to be appropriate in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. In the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Board shall be authorized to cause the Corporation to issue or assume stock options, whether or not in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies, by means of substitution of new stock options for previously issued stock options or an assumption of previously issued stock options. In such event, the aggregate number of shares of the Stock available for issuance under Awards under Section 3 will be increased to reflect such substitution or assumption. SECTION 4. Eligibility Persons who serve or agree to serve as officers, employees, directors or consultants of the Corporation (including prospective officers or employees), its subsidiaries and Affiliates who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and profitability of the business of the Corporation, its subsidiaries and Affiliates are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan. SECTION 5. Stock Options Stock Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan and may be of two types: Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve. The Committee shall have the authority to grant any participant Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options or both types of Stock Options (in each case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights); provided, however, that grants hereunder are subject to the aggregate limit on grants to individual participants set forth in Section 3. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Corporation and its "subsidiaries" and "parent", if any (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code). To the extent that any Stock Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option or even if so designated does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute a Nonqualified Stock Option. Stock Options shall be evidenced by option agreements, the terms and provisions of which may differ. An option agreement shall indicate on its face whether it is intended to be an agreement for an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. The grant of a Stock Option shall occur on the date the Committee by resolution selects an individual to be a participant in any grant of a Stock Option, determines the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to such Stock Option to be granted to such individual and specifies the terms and provisions of the Stock Option. The Corporation shall notify a participant of any grant of a StockOption, and a written option agreement or agreements shall be duly executed and delivered by the Corporation to the participant. Such grant shall become effective upon the date of grant (subject to conditions set forth therein), and the execution of the option agreements(s) may occur following the grant of the Stock Option. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem desirable: (a) OPTION PRICE. The option price per share of Common Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the option agreement, and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Stock Option on the date of grant. (b) OPTION TERM. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted. A-5
(c) EXERCISABILITY. Except as otherwise provided herein, Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee. If the Committee provides that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee may determine. In addition, the Committee may at any time accelerate the exercisability of any Stock Option. (d) METHOD OF EXERCISE. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the option term by giving written notice of exercise to the Corporation specifying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Corporation may accept. If approved by the Committee, payment, in full or in part, may also be made in the form of unrestricted Common Stock already owned by the optionee of the same class as the Common Stock subject to the Stock Option (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Stock Option is exercised); provided, however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option the right to make a payment in the form of already owned shares of Common Stock of the same class as the Common Stock subject to the Stock Option may be authorized only at the time the Stock Option is granted. In the discretion of the Committee, payment for any shares subject to a Stock Option may also be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Corporation, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Corporation the amount of sale or loan proceeds from shares of Common Stock owned by the optionee necessary to pay the purchase price, and, if requested, to pay the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes. To facilitate the foregoing, the Corporation may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. In addition, in the discretion of the Committee, payment for any shares subject to a Stock Option may also be made by instructing the Committee to withhold a number of such shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price of such Stock Option. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made. An optionee shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation holding the class or series of Common Stock that is subject to such Stock Option (including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends), when the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares and, if requested, has given the representation described in Section 14(a). (e) NONTRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK OPTIONS. No Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; or (ii) in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, pursuant to (a) a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in the Code, or the regulations thereunder), (b) a gift to such optionee's immediate family or other specified individuals or entities, whether directly or indirectly or by means of a trust, partnership, limited liability corporation or otherwise, if expressly permitted under the applicable option agreement or (c) a gift to a charitable organization, if expressly permitted under the applicable option agreement. All Stock Options shall be exercisable, subject to the terms of this Plan, during the optionee's lifetime, only by the optionee or any person to whom the Stock Option is transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or a gift permitted under the applicable option agreement. For purposes of this Section 5(e), "immediate family" shall mean, except as otherwise defined by the Committee, the optionee's spouse, children, siblings, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, in-laws and persons related by legal adoption. Such transferees may transfer a Stock Option only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. (f) TERMINATION BY DEATH. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee (in the option agreement or otherwise), if an optionee's Termination of Employment is by reason of death, any Stock A-6
Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of one year (or such other period as the Committee may specify in the option agreement) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. (g) TERMINATION BY REASON OF DISABILITY. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee (in the option agreement or otherwise), if an optionee's Termination of Employment is by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of 3 years from the date of such Termination of Employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such period, any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of Termination of Employment by reason of Disability, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. (h) TERMINATION BY REASON OF RETIREMENT. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee (in the option agreement or otherwise), if an optionee's Termination of Employment is by reason of Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such Retirement, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of 5 years from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such period any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. (i) OTHER TERMINATION. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee (in the option agreement or otherwise): (A) if an optionee incurs a Termination of Employment for Cause, all Stock Options held by such optionee shall thereupon terminate; and (B) if an optionee incurs a Termination of Employment for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or Cause, any Stock Option held by such optionee, to the extent then exercisable, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, may be exercised for the lesser of 3 months from the date of such Termination of Employment or the balance of such Stock Option's term; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such three-month period, any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such 3-month period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by the Committee (in the option agreement or otherwise), if an optionee incurs a Termination of Employment at or after a Change in Control (as defined Section 11(b)), other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee shall be exercisable for the lesser of (1) 6 months and one day from the date following such Termination of Employment, and (2) the balance of such Stock Option's term. In the event of Termination of Employment, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. (j) CASHING OUT OF STOCK OPTION. On receipt of written notice of exercise, the Committee may elect to cash out all or part of the portion of the shares of Common Stock for which a Stock Option is being exercised by paying the optionee an amount, in cash or Common Stock, equal to the excess of the Fair A-7
Market Value of the Common Stock over the option price times the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Option is being exercised on the effective date of such cash-out. (k) CHANGE IN CONTROL CASH-OUT. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, during the 60-day period from and after a Change in Control (the "Exercise Period"), unless the Committee shall determine otherwise at the time of grant, an optionee shall have the right, whether or not the Stock Option is fully exercisable and in lieu of the payment of the exercise price for the shares of Common Stock being purchased under the Stock Option and by giving notice to the Corporation, to elect (within the Exercise Period) to surrender all or part of the Stock Option to the Corporation and to receive cash, within 10 days of such notice, in an amount equal to the amount by which the Change in Control Price per share of Common Stock on the date of such election shall exceed the exercise price per share of Common Stock under the Stock Option (the "Spread") multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock granted under the Stock Option as to which the right granted under this Section 5(k) shall have been exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of any right granted pursuant to this Section 5(k) would make a Change in Control transaction ineligible for pooling of interests accounting under APB No. 16 that but for this Section 5(k) would otherwise be eligible for such accounting treatment, the Committee shall have the ability to substitute the cash payable pursuant to this Section 5(k) with Common Stock (or shares of common stock of the entity surviving the Change in Control transaction, or its parent corporation, if applicable) with a Fair Market Value equal to the cash that would otherwise be payable hereunder. SECTION 6. Stock Appreciation Rights (a) GRANT AND EXERCISE. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option granted under the Plan. In the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, such rights may be granted either at or after the time of grant of such Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such rights may be granted only at the time of grant of such Stock Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by an optionee in accordance with Section 6(b) by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock Option in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. Upon such exercise and surrender, the optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in Section 6(b). Stock Options which have been so surrendered shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised. (b) TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee, including the following: (i) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Stock Options to which they relate are exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 and this Section 6. (ii) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, an optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, shares of Common Stock or both, in value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock over the option price per share specified in the related Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Committee having the right to determine the form of payment. (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only to permitted transferees of the underlying Stock Option in accordance with Section 5(e). (iv) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Option or part thereof to which such Stock Appreciation Right is related shall be deemed to have been exercised for the purpose of the limitation set forth in Section 3 on the number of shares of Common Stock to be A-8
issued under the Plan, but only to the extent of the number of shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. SECTION 7. Restricted Stock (a) ADMINISTRATION. Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the officers and employees to whom and the time or times at which grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded to any participant (subject to the aggregate limit on grants to individual participants set forth in Section 3), the conditions for vesting, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture and any other terms and conditions of the Awards, in addition to those contained in Section 7(c). The Committee may, prior to grant, condition the vesting of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of Performance Goals. The Committee may, in addition to or instead of requiring satisfaction of Performance Goals, condition vesting upon the continued service of the participant. The provisions of Restricted Stock Awards (including the applicable Performance Goals) need not be the same with respect to each recipient. (b) AWARDS AND CERTIFICATES. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of such participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form: "The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the USA Networks, Inc. 2000 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan and a Restricted Stock Agreement. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the offices of USA Networks, Inc." The Committee may require that the certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Corporation until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that, as a condition of any Award of Restricted Stock, the participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such Award. (c) TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Agreement referred to in Section 7(c)(vi), during the period, if any, set by the Committee, commencing with the date of such Award for which such participant's continued service is required (the "Restriction Period"), and until the later of (i) the expiration of the Restriction Period and (ii) the date the applicable Performance Goals (if any) are satisfied, the participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber shares of Restricted Stock; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent a participant from pledging Restricted Stock as security for a loan, the sole purpose of which is to provide funds to pay the option price for Stock Options. Within these limits, the Committee may provide for the lapse of restrictions based upon period of service in installments or otherwise and may accelerate or waive, in whole or in part, restrictions based upon period of service or upon performance; provided, however, that in the case of Restricted Stock subject to Performance Goals granted to a participant who is a Covered Employee, the applicable Performance Goals have been satisfied. (ii) Except as provided in this paragraph (ii) and Section 7(c)(i) and the Restricted Stock Agreement, the participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the A-9
rights of a stockholder of the Corporation holding the class or series of Common Stock that is the subject of the Restricted Stock, including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any cash dividends. If so determined by the Committee in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement and subject to Section 14(e) of the Plan, (1) cash dividends on the class or series of Common Stock that is the subject of the Restricted Stock Award shall be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted Stock, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Stock, or held subject to meeting Performance Goals applicable only to dividends, (2) dividends payable in Common Stock shall be paid in the form of Restricted Stock of the same class as the Common Stock with which such dividend was paid, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Stock, or held subject to meeting Performance Goals applicable only to dividends and (3) dividends payable in shares of a subsidiary of the Corporation upon a Spin-off transaction shall be held as restricted shares subject to the vesting provisions of the underlying Restricted Stock. (iii) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement and Sections 7(c)(i), 7(c)(iv) and 11(a)(ii), upon a participant's Termination of Employment for any reason during the Restriction Period or before the applicable Performance Goals are satisfied, all shares still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the participant. (iv) In the event of a participant's Retirement or a participant's involuntary Termination of Employment (other than for Cause), the Committee shall have the discretion to waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining restrictions (other than, in the case of Restricted Stock with respect to which a participant is a Covered Employee, satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goals unless the participant's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability) with respect to any or all of such participant's shares of Restricted Stock. (v) If and when any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied and the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, unlegended certificates for such shares shall be delivered to the participant upon surrender of the legended certificates. (vi) Each Award shall be confirmed by, and be subject to, the terms of a Restricted Stock Agreement. SECTION 8. Performance Units (a) Performance Units may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the officers and employees to whom and the time or times at which Performance Units shall be awarded, the number of Performance Units to be awarded to any participant (subject to the aggregate limit on grants to individual participants set forth in Section 3), the duration of the Award Cycle and any other terms and conditions of the Award, in addition to those contained in Section 8(b). The Committee may condition the settlement of Performance Units upon the continued service of the participant, the attainment of Performance Goals, or both. The provisions of such Awards (including the applicable Performance Goals) need not be the same with respect to each recipient. (b) TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Performance Units Awards shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Performance Units Agreement referred to in Section 8(b)(vi), Performance Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered during the Award Cycle. At the expiration of the Award Cycle, the Committee shall evaluate the Corporation's performance in light of the Performance Goals for such Award to the extent applicable, and shall determine the number of Performance Units granted to the participant which have been earned, and the Committee may then elect to deliver (1) a A-10
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Performance Units determined by the Committee to have been earned, or (2) cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such number of shares of Common Stock to the participant. (ii) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Performance Unit Agreement and Sections 8(b)(iii) and 11(a)(iii), upon a participant's Termination of Employment for any reason during the Award Cycle or before any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied, the rights to the shares still covered by the Performance Units Award shall be forfeited by the participant. (iii) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 11(a)(iii), upon a participant's Termination of Employment (other than for Cause), or in the event of a participant's Retirement, the Committee shall have the discretion to waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining payment limitations (other than, in the case of Performance Units with respect to which a participant is a Covered Employee, satisfaction of any applicable Performance Goals unless the participant's Termination of Employment is by reason of death or Disability) with respect to any or all of such participant's Performance Units. (iv) A participant may elect to further defer receipt of the Performance Units payable under an Award (or an installment of an Award) for a specified period or until a specified event, subject in each case to the Committee's approval and to such terms as are determined by the Committee (the "Elective Deferral Period"). Subject to any exceptions adopted by the Committee, such election must generally be made prior to commencement of the Award Cycle for the Award (or for such installment of an Award). (v) If and when any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied and the Elective Deferral Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Performance Units, payment in accordance with Section 8(b)(i) hereof shall be made to the participant. (vi) Each Award shall be confirmed by, and be subject to, the terms of a Performance Unit Agreement. SECTION 9. Tax Offset Bonuses At the time an Award is made hereunder or at any time thereafter, the Committee may grant to the participant receiving such Award the right to receive a cash payment in an amount specified by the Committee, to be paid at such time or times (if ever) as the Award results in compensation income to the participant, for the purpose of assisting the participant to pay the resulting taxes, all as determined by the Committee and on such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. SECTION 10. Bonus Awards (a) Determination of Awards. The Committee shall determine the total amount of Bonus Awards for each Plan Year. Prior to the beginning of the Plan Year (or such later date as may be prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall establish Performance Goals for Bonus Awards for the Plan Year; provided, that such Performance Goals may be established at a later date for participants who are not Covered Employees. Bonus amounts payable to any individual participant with respect to a Plan Year will be limited to a maximum of $10 million. To the extent provided by the Committee, a participant may elect to defer receipt of amounts payable under a Bonus Award for a specified period, or until a specified event, subject in each case to the Committee's approval and to such terms as are determined by the Committee. (b) Payment of Awards. Bonus Awards under the Plan shall be paid in cash or in shares of Common Stock (valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of payment) as determined by the Committee, as soon as practicable following the close of the Plan Year, but in any event within 90 days A-11
following the close of the Plan Year. The Bonus Award for any Plan Year to any participant may be reduced or eliminated by the Committee in its discretion. (c) Termination of Employment. A participant shall not be entitled to receive payment of a Bonus Award, unless the annual Performance Goals for the Plan Year are satisfied or as otherwise set forth in Section 11, if at any time prior to the end of the Plan Year the participant has a Termination of Employment for any reason other than death or Disability. SECTION 11. Change In Control Provisions (a) IMPACT OF EVENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, upon a Change in Control: (i) Any Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date of such Change in Control, and which are not then exercisable and vested, shall become immediately fully exercisable and vested. (ii) The restrictions and deferral limitations applicable to any Restricted Stock shall immediately lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall become free of all restrictions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant. (iii) All Performance Units shall be considered to be immediately earned and payable in full, and any deferral or other restriction shall lapse and such Performance Units shall be settled in cash or shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee, as promptly as is practicable. (iv) To the extent determined by the Committee, Bonus Awards may be paid in whole or in part to participants notwithstanding the attainment of Performance Goals. (b) DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. For purposes of the Plan, unless otherwise provided in an option agreement or other agreement relating to an Award, a "Change in Control" shall mean the happening of any of the following events: (i) The acquisition by any individual entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than Barry Diller, Liberty Media Corporation, Universal Studios, Inc. and their respective Affiliates (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of equity securities of the Corporation representing more than 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding equity securities of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities"); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (A) any acquisition by the Corporation, (B) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any corporation controlled by the Corporation, or (C) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of subsection (iii); or (ii) Individuals who, as of February 22, 2000, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to February 22, 2000, whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or A-12
(iii) Approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the purchase of assets or stock of another entity (a "Business Combination"), in each case, unless immediately following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then outstanding combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities, (B) no Person (excluding Barry Diller, Liberty Media Corporation, Universal Studios, Inc. and their Affiliates, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Corporation or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership of the Corporation existed prior to the Business Combination and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Corporation resulting from such Business Combination will have been members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the initial agreement, or action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or (iv) Approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation. (c) CHANGE IN CONTROL PRICE. For purposes of the Plan, "Change in Control Price" means the higher of (i) the highest reported sales price, regular way, of a share of Common Stock in any transaction reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape or other national exchange on which such shares are listed or on NASDAQ during the 60-day period prior to and including the date of a Change in Control or (ii) if the Change in Control is the result of a tender or exchange offer or a Business Combination, the highest price per share of Common Stock paid in such tender or exchange offer or Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of Incentive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights relating to Incentive Stock Options, the Change in Control Price shall be in all cases the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the right set forth in Section 5(k) is exercised. To the extent that the consideration paid in any such transaction described above consists all or in part of securities or other noncash consideration, the value of such securities or other noncash consideration shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board. SECTION 12. Term, Amendment And Termination The Plan will terminate 10 years after the effective date of the Plan; provided, that the Plan Awards outstanding as of such date shall not be affected or impaired by the termination of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of an optionee under a Stock Option or a recipient of a Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Performance Unit Award or Bonus Award theretofore granted without the optionee's or recipient's consent. In addition, no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Corporation's stockholders to the extent such approval is required by law or agreement. The Committee may amend the terms of any Stock Option or other Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of any holder of such Award without the holder's consent. A-13
Subject to the above provisions, the Board shall have authority to amend the Plan to take into account changes in law and tax and accounting rules as well as other developments, and to grant Awards which qualify for beneficial treatment under such rules without stockholder approval. SECTION 13. Unfunded Status Of Plan It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Common Stock or make payments; provided, however, that unless the Committee otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the "unfunded" status of the Plan. SECTION 14. General Provisions (a) The Committee may require each person purchasing or receiving shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Corporation in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to the distribution thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or agreements made pursuant thereto, the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (1) Listing or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such shares on NASDAQ or on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., or such other securities exchange as may at the time be the principal market for the Common Stock; (2) Any registration or other qualification of such shares of the Corporation under any state or federal law or regulation or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other qualification which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable; and (3) Obtaining any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion after receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable. (b) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Corporation or any subsidiary or Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees. (c) Adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or any subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee at any time (d) No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the participant for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, the participant shall pay to the Corporation, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Corporation, withholding obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Corporation under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Corporation and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Common Stock. A-14
(e) Reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of any dividend payment with respect to Restricted Stock shall only be permissible if sufficient shares of Common Stock are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment (taking into account then outstanding Stock Options and other Awards). (f) The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of the participant's death are to be paid or by whom any rights of the participant, after the participant's death, may be exercised. (g) In the case of a grant of an Award to any employee of a subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Corporation, the Corporation may, if the Committee so directs, issue or transfer the shares of Common Stock, if any, covered by the Award to the subsidiary or such other Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the subsidiary will transfer the shares of Common Stock to the employee in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. (h) The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. SECTION 15. Effective Date Of Plan The Plan shall be effective as of February 22, 2000, the date it was approved by the Board, subject to later approval by the Corporation's stockholders; provided, however, that no Awards may be exercised or paid out prior to receipt of such stockholder approval. A-15

A Director who has not previously elected to defer receipt of compensation or who has subsequently discontinued such election may elect to defer compensation by giving notice prior to November 1 of each year, but any such election shall only be effective for compensation payable during the calendar year following such notice and thereafter. An election shall continue in effect until the end of the participant's service as a Director or until the end of the calendar year during which the Director gives the Company written notice of the discontinuance of the election, whichever shall occur first. Such a notice of discontinuance shall operate prospectively from the first day of the calendar year following the giving of notice referred to in the preceding sentence, and compensation payable during any subsequent calendar year shall not be deferred (absent any timely future deferral election), but compensation theretofore deferred shall continue to be withheld and shall be paid in accordance with the notice of election pursuant to which it was withheld. b. AMOUNT OF DEFERRAL. A participant may only elect to defer receipt of all or a specified portion of the annual retainer fee receivable by such Director for service as a Director of the Company, but not any other compensation or expense reimbursement. c. MANNER OF ELECTING DEFERRAL. A participant shall elect to defer compensation by giving written notice to the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such notice shall include: (i) the percentage or amount of compensation to be deferred; (ii) an allocation of the deferral between the "Cash Fund" or "Share Units"; and (iii) an election of a lump-sum payment or of a number of annual installments (not to exceed five) for the payment of the deferred compensation (plus the amounts credited under Section 5), such lump-sum payment or the first installment payment occurring on the later of January 15 of the year following the year in which service as a Director terminates or six months from the date on which service as a Director terminates. 5. DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT. The Company shall establish a deferred compensation account (the "Account") for each participant. B-1
(i) For amounts deferred to the Cash Fund, the Account will be credited as follows: (a) at the time such amount would otherwise be payable, with the amount of any compensation, receipt of which the participant has elected to defer, and (b) at the end of each calendar year or initial or terminal portion of a year, with deemed interest, at an annual rate equivalent to the weighted average prime or base lending rate of The Chase Manhattan Bank (or any successor thereto) for the relevant year or portion thereof (the "Interest Equivalents"), upon the average daily balance in the Account during such year or portion thereof. (ii) For amounts deferred to Share Units, the Account will be credited as follows: (a) at the time such amount would otherwise be payable, with the amount of any compensation, receipt of which the participant has elected to defer. Such amount shall be converted on such date to a number of Share Units (computed to the nearest 1/1000 of a share) equal to the number of shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company which theoretically could have been purchased on such date with such amount, using the last sale price for the Common Stock on such date (or, if such date is not a trading day, on the next preceding trading day) on The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market System ("Nasdaq"), or, if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on Nasdaq, the principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded; (b) on each date on which a dividend is paid on the Common Stock, with the number of Share Units (computed to the nearest 1/1000 of a share) which theoretically could have been purchased with the amount of dividends payable on the number of shares equal to the number of Share Units in the participant's Account immediately prior to the payment of such dividend; the number of additional Share Units shall be calculated as in 5(ii) (a) above; and (c) on the date of any stock split or stock dividend, with the number of Shares Units necessary for an equitable adjustment. 6. VALUE OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS. The value of each participant's Account on any date shall consist of (i) in the case of the Cash Fund, the sum of the compensation deferred in accordance with paragraph 4(c) above and the Interest Equivalents credited through such date, and (ii) in the case of the Share Units, the market value of the corresponding number of shares of Common Stock on such date, determined using the last sale price for the Common Stock on such date (or, if such date is not a trading day, on the next preceding trading day) on Nasdaq, or if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on Nasdaq, the principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded. The Account balances shall be credited with Interest Equivalents or additional Share Units for so long as there is an outstanding balance in the Account. As promptly as practicable following the close of each calendar year a statement shall be sent to each participant as to the balance in the participant's Account as of the end of such year. 7. PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION. No payment may be made from a participant's Account except as follows: a. The balance in a participant's Account in the Cash Fund shall be paid in cash in the manner elected in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4(c) above. If annual installments are elected, the amount of the first payment shall be a fraction of the balance in the participant's Account as of December 31 of the year preceding such payment, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of installments elected. The amount of each subsequent payment shall be a fraction of the balance in the participant's Account as of December 31 of the year preceding each subsequent payment, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of installments elected minus the number of installments previously paid. Each payment pursuant to this paragraph 7(a) shall include Interest Equivalents, but only on the amount being paid, from the preceding December 31 to the date of payment. B-2
b. The balance in a participant's Account in Share Units shall be paid in the number of actual shares of Common Stock equal to the whole number of Share Units in the participant's Account. If annual installments are elected, the whole number of shares of Common Stock in the first payment shall be a fraction of the number of Share Units in the participant's Account as of December 31 of the year preceding such payment, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of installments elected. The whole number of shares of Common Stock in each subsequent payment shall be a fraction of the Share Units in the participant's Account as of December 31 of the year preceding each subsequent payment, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of installments elected minus the number of installments previously paid. c. Notwithstanding the election of the participant pursuant to paragraph 4(c), in the event of a participant's death or termination of service due to conflict of interest, illness or disability, the balance in the participant's Account (in the case of the Cash Fund including Interest Equivalents in relation to the elapsed portion of the year of death or termination of service) shall be determined as of the date of death or termination of service due to conflict of interest, illness or disability, and such balance shall be paid in a single payment in cash in the case of the Cash Fund or in actual shares of Common Stock in the case of Share Units to the participant or the participant's estate, as the case may be, as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. d. In the event of any change in corporate capitalization (including, but not limited to, a change in the number of shares of Company common stock outstanding), as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of Common Stock, or an extraordinary corporate transaction, including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation, separation, spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial liquidation of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company may make such equitable substitution or adjustments in the aggregate number of Share Units in a participant's Account, in the form or type of property represented by such Share Units and in the number and kind of shares reserved for issuance as the Board deems appropriate. In the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Board of Directors of the Company shall be authorized to cause the Company to pay to a Participant the value of such Participant's Account (whether or not represented by Share Units) at such time in the form of a cash payment; provided, however that in the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or upon the sale of all or substantially all of the property of the Company to another corporation or person, the Board of Directors of the Company may elect, in lieu of causing the Company to make a cash payment in respect of any Share Units previously credited to a Participant's Account, to have the successor corporation assume the Company's obligations hereunder and substitute an appropriate number of shares of stock and Share Units of such successor entity. 8. PARTICIPANT'S RIGHTS UNSECURED. The right of a participant to receive any unpaid portion of the participant's Account, whether the Cash Fund or Share Units, shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. 9. NONASSIGNABILITY. The right of a participant to receive any unpaid portion of the participant's Account shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered or be subject in any manner to alienation or anticipation. 10. ADMINISTRATION. This Plan shall be administered by the Secretary of the Company, who shall have the authority to adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan and to interpret, construe and implement the provisions thereof. 11. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. The total number of Share Units that may be credited to the Accounts of all eligible Directors, and the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance, under the Plan shall be 100,000. 12. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK. Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued pursuant to the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant hereto shall comply with all B-3
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares of Common Stock may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 13. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. This Plan may be amended, modified or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of a participant, adversely affect such participant's rights with respect to amounts theretofore accrued to the participant's Account.

EXHIBIT 10.3 CONSULTING AGREEMENT THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of June 21, 2000, is entered into by and between USA Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Barry Baker (the "Executive"). WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Executive is a director and the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and was recruited by the Company to serve in those capacities principally for purposes of managing the Company's disparate business units and bringing such business units together into a more unified, cohesive and focused organization; WHEREAS, the Executive has accomplished the principal purposes of his employment by the Company and in so doing has made major contributions to its profitability, growth and financial strength; WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have come to share a common view that, in light of the Executive's accomplishment of his principal objectives, the Company no longer needs the full-time services and attention of a Chief Operating Officer, and that the Executive's management skills and talent would be underdeployed were he to continue in that role with the Company; WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have mutually agreed that the Executive's service as an employee, director and officer of the Company and/or its subsidiaries should cease effective as of June 21, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), but that the Executive should continue to provide certain consulting services to the Company after the Effective Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter specified; WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive entered into an Employment Agreement dated February 19, 1999 (the "Employment Agreement"), which provides for certain compensation and benefits to the Executive and for certain rights upon the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company; and WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have mutually agreed upon modifications to such compensation, benefits and rights, and are entering into this Agreement for purposes of specifying and clarifying such matters and for purposes of terminating the Employment Agreement, except to the extent otherwise specified herein; NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Executive agree as follows: 1. RESIGNATION. (a) Effective as of the close of business, New York City time, on the Effective Date, the Executive hereby resigns as a director and as an officer and employee of the Company, and from any director, officer or similar positions he may hold with any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company (including, without limitation, Ticketmaster Online-City Search, Inc.). The Executive shall 1
execute and deliver to the Company any and all additional documentation necessary to effectuate such resignations. (b) On the Effective Date, the Company shall pay the Executive that portion of his Base Salary (calculated at the rate of $750,000 per year) which is accrued and unpaid with respect to the period June 1, 2000 through and including the Effective Date. (c) From and after the Effective Date, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by him through the close of business on the Effective Date in performing his duties and responsibilities for the Company, subject to the Executive's submission of reasonable supporting documentation for such expenses. For purposes of this Section 1(c) the term "reasonable and necessary business expenses" shall specifically include, without limitation, business expenses incurred by the Executive consistent with his past practices. 2. CONSULTING ARRANGEMENTS. (a) During the Consulting Term (as such term is hereinafter defined), the Executive shall serve in an advisory capacity to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company for the purpose of providing such strategic consulting services as may be mutually agreed upon by the Executive and the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, including, without limitation, the making of strategic recommendations regarding the Company's business and operations and such other matters as are within the Executive's expertise. Such consulting services shall be performed at such place or places as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Executive and the Company and shall be, at the Company's discretion, for at least 20 hours per month. The Executive shall perform such consulting services at such time or times as may be convenient for the Executive and otherwise as mutually agreed upon by the Executive and the Company; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be required to provide any such services during the period from July 27, 2000 through and including August 31, 2000. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Consulting Term" shall be the period from June 22, 2000, through and including February 19, 2004. (b) As compensation for and in consideration of the consulting services to be performed hereunder, the Company shall pay the Executive a fee of $174,370.00 per month ("Monthly Consulting Fees"), with the first payment to be due upon the execution hereof, and a like payment to be due during the first week of each month thereafter during the remaining Consulting Term; provided, however, that the Monthly Consulting Fee due with respect to the month of June 2000, but only that month, shall be $136,326.00. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, at any time during the Consulting Term the Executive shall have the right and option (the "Early Termination Option"), exercisable only after the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as such term is hereinafter defined), to terminate in its entirety his obligation to provide consulting services hereunder and to receive a lump sum cash payment from the Company (the "Final Payment") equal to the remaining Monthly Consulting Fees then due hereunder, discounted from the dates such Monthly Consulting Fees would otherwise have been paid had the Executive not exercised the Early Termination Option at a discount rate of 5.0% per annum. The Executive shall exercise the Early Termination Option by providing written notice of same to the Company, which notice shall include confirmation that a Triggering Event has in fact occurred. The Company shall disburse the Final Payment to the Executive not later than 10 days after receipt of such notice and shall supply 2
the Executive with reasonable supporting detail regarding the calculation of the Final Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other document, the Executive's ability to make the Early Termination Option following the occurrence of a Triggering Event is expressly intended by the Company and the Executive to be an absolute and unconditional right, and, once exercised, to give rise to an absolute and unconditional payment obligation on the part of the Company, regardless of any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement by the Executive and subject to no defenses, counterclaims, offsets or the like in favor of the Company; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be applicable to any defenses, counterclaims, offsets or the like arising out of any conduct by the Executive prior to the Effective Date which would have given the Company grounds to terminate his employment for "Cause" (as such term is defined in Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement) had such conduct been known by the Company. As used herein, a "Triggering Event" shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (i) the Executive shall have accepted either employment or a consulting engagement with a substantial business enterprise that was theretofore unaffiliated with the Executive (the "New Company"), and (ii) the New Company requests in writing that the Executive discontinue the provision of consulting services under this Agreement. The Company's obligation to pay Monthly Consulting Fees under this Section 2(b) shall not terminate upon the death or disability of the Executive. (c) The Executive shall be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses which are incurred in connection with the Executive's rendering of consulting services under this Agreement, subject to the submission of reasonable supporting documentation for such expenses. (d) During the Consulting Term, the Executive shall continue to have full rights to participate in the "VIP Program" of the Company's travel agency as if the Executive were continuing as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company throughout the Consulting Term. Such participation shall extend to any and all travel arrangements that the Executive may book during the Consulting Term, regardless of whether such arrangements are related to the Executive's provision of consulting services under this Agreement. (e) The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not exercise general supervision or control over the time, place or manner in which the Executive provides consulting services hereunder, and that in performing consulting services pursuant to this Agreement the Executive shall be acting and shall act at all times as an independent contractor only and not as an employee, agent, partner or joint venturer of or with the Company and that no such relationship shall arise or subsist between the Executive and the Company during the Consulting Term, including any extension or renewal thereof. 3. PRESS RELEASE. The Company and the Executive shall cooperate with one another in good faith to develop a mutually acceptable press release announcing the Executive's change in status relative to the Company. The parties acknowledge and agree that the general tone and content of such press release shall be consistent with the first four recital paragraphs of this Agreement. 4. STOCK OPTIONS, RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK ACQUIRED THROUGH DEFERRED COMPENSATION. (a) The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), previously 3
granted to the Executive on February 8, 1999 (currently representing the right to purchase an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock and herein called the "Options") shall be, and hereby are, immediately and fully vested and shall remain exercisable by the Executive (or any past or future permitted assignee) until February 19, 2004. In all respects, the Options shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable stock option plan and/or agreement (including, without limitation, the exercise price and the right to transfer the Options to certain permitted assignees). The Options (and the shares of Common Stock underlying same) have been duly registered under a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). (b) The Company acknowledges and agrees that all 280,000 shares (the "Restricted Shares") of Common Stock previously granted to the Executive pursuant to the Company's 1999 Bonus Stock Purchase Program (the "Restricted Share Program"), shall be immediately and fully vested effective as of June 26, 2000, and all restrictions thereon shall lapse effective as of June 26, 2000. The Restricted Shares have been duly registered under the 1933 Act. (c) The Company shall honor the Executive's previous deferral of $245,000 of his 1999 bonus under the Company's 1999 Bonus Stock Purchase Program and shall promptly issue (or cause its transfer agent to issue) an appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Program (including, without limitation, the 20% discount on the purchase price of such shares). Such shares have been duly registered under the 1933 Act. (d) The Executive agrees with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired by him under the Options, the Restricted Share Program and the 1999 Bonus Stock Purchase Program not to sell, on any single trading day, more than that number of shares of Common Stock which shall be equal to 20% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market over the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of any proposed sale of such shares of Common Stock by the Executive, without first obtaining the Company's prior written consent. 5. CONTINUATION OF BENEFITS. During the period from June 22, 2000 through and including February 19, 2004, the Company shall maintain, at its expense (provided that the Executive continues to make all required employee contributions consistent with past practice), all insurance coverages (including, without limitation, life insurance coverage equal to $11,000,000, which life insurance coverage shall be without any cost to the Executive; provided, however, that the Executive shall be entitled to designate the beneficiary or beneficiaries of such life insurance only with respect to 50% of the proceeds of such life insurance, with the Company entitled to the balance of such proceeds) and medical and health benefits in respect of the Executive and his family that were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date. 6. COMPUTERS AND RELATED EQUIPMENT. The Company hereby transfers and assigns to the Executive all right, title and interest of the Company in and to all cellular telephones, personal computers, printers, fax machines and similar items (together with all off-the-shelf software residing therein) heretofore provided by the Company to the Executive for use in any of the Executive's personal residences or automobiles. For a reasonable period after the Effective Date (not to exceed 90 days), the Company will make available to the Executive the services of members of the Company's information services or information technology staff in order that they may assist the Executive in 4
migrating the aforementioned computers (and any related peripheral equipment) off of the Company's network and related systems, and in connection with any tasks that may be necessary to enable such computers (and related peripheral equipment) to function and operate properly on a standalone basis. 7. OFFICE SPACE AND CLERICAL ASSISTANCE. (a) During a reasonable period of time from and after the Effective Date, the exact length of which shall be agreed upon by the Executive and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "Office Period"), the Company shall continue to provide the Executive with office space, office furnishings and related office support (e.g., telephone, personal computer, network connectivity, fax machine, mail service, etc.) in the Company's offices on the forty-third floor of 152 West 57th Street in New York City, such office space, furnishings and support to remain unchanged from that provided to the Executive immediately prior to the Effective Date for a period of 30 days after the Effective Date, and thereafter such office space, furnishings and support to be appropriate in view of the Executive's reduced role at the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company may at any time, upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to the Executive, terminate the Office Period and the Company's obligation to provide office space, office furnishings and related office support to the Executive. (b) During the Office Period, the Company shall continue to provide the Executive with a level of administrative and clerical support which is reasonably comparable to that enjoyed by the Executive immediately prior to the Effective Date, including, without limitation, the same number of administrative and clerical personnel. 8. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any law or government regulation or ruling; provided, however, that the consulting fees (including, without limitation, any Final Payment) paid to the Executive under Section 2 hereof shall not be subject to any such withholding. The payments (or issuances of shares of Common Stock) under Sections 4(b) and (c) hereof will be made net of applicable withholding taxes unless the Executive has made other arrangements, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to provide for such withholding. 9. SUCCESSORS AND BINDING AGREEMENT. (a) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including without limitation any persons acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor shall thereafter be deemed the "Company" for the purposes of this Agreement), but will not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by the Company. (b) This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive and the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees and legatees. 5
(c) This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 9(a) and 9(b). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Executive's right to receive payments hereunder will not be assignable, transferable or delegable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest, or otherwise, other than by a transfer by Executive's will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 9(c), the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned, transferred or delegated. 10.
