PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement (first mailed on or about May 1, 2003) is being furnished to holders of common stock, Class B common stock and preferred stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of USA Interactive ("USA" or the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held for the purposes described in this Proxy Statement. Each copy of this Proxy Statement mailed to holders of common stock, Class B common stock and preferred stock is accompanied by a form of proxy for use at the Annual Meeting.

At the Annual Meeting, USA stockholders will be asked:

Date, Time and Place of Meeting

The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, May 29, 2003 at 8:00 a.m., local time, at USA's offices at 8800 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood, California.

Record Date; Shares Outstanding and Entitled to Vote

Only holders of record of common stock, Class B common stock and preferred stock at the close of business on April 1, 2003 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of, and will be entitled to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Preferred stock is entitled to two votes per share, Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share and common stock is entitled to one vote per share on each matter that preferred stock, Class B common stock and common stock vote together as a single class. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 438,240,434 shares of common stock, 64,629,996 shares of Class B common stock and 13,118,182 shares of preferred stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Voting and Revocation of Proxies

The proxy conferred by the proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of USA for use at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders of record may vote their shares in any of four ways:

•: Submitting a Proxy by Mail. If you choose to submit your proxy by mail, simply mark your proxy, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided.
•: Submitting a Proxy by Telephone. Submit a proxy for your shares by telephone proxy by using the toll-free telephone number provided on your proxy card. Telephone proxy voting is available 24 hours a day.
•: Submitting a Proxy by Internet. Submit your proxy via the Internet. The web site for Internet proxy voting is on your proxy card, and Internet proxy voting is also available 24 hours a day.
•: Voting in Person. Vote by appearing and voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

Street name holders may submit a proxy by telephone or the Internet if their bank or broker makes those methods available, in which case the bank or broker will enclose the instructions with this Proxy Statement. If you submit a proxy by telephone or via the Internet you should not return your proxy card. Instructions on how to submit a proxy by telephone or via the Internet are located on the proxy card enclosed with this Proxy Statement.

All proxies properly submitted, and that are not revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated thereon. If no instructions are indicated thereon, such proxies will be voted FOR each of the proposals described in this Proxy Statement.

A stockholder who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting by (1) delivering to The Bank of New York a written notice, bearing a date later than the proxy, stating that the proxy is revoked, (2) submitting a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares by mail, telephone or the Internet prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting, or (3) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy). You should send any written notice or new proxy card to USA c/o The Bank of New York at the following address: USA Interactive, P.O. Box 11001, New York, New York 10203-0001 or follow the instructions provided on your proxy card to submit a proxy by telephone or via the Internet. You may request a new proxy card by calling our proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, Inc., at 1-800-322-2885 (toll-free).

If you hold your shares through a bank or broker, follow the voting instructions on the form you receive from your bank or broker.

Your vote is important. We urge you to submit your proxy by telephone, Internet or by signing and returning the accompanying proxy card whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors of USA does not presently intend to bring any business before the Annual Meeting other than the proposals discussed in this Proxy Statement and specified in the Notice of the Annual Meeting. So far as is known to the USA Board, no other matters are to be brought before the Annual Meeting. If any other business properly comes before the Annual Meeting, however, it is intended that proxies, in the form enclosed, will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting such proxies.

Vote Required

Election of nine of the director nominees to be elected at the Annual Meeting requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the total number of votes cast by the holders of the shares of common stock, Class B common stock and preferred stock voting together as a single class (the "Total Voting Power"). Election of three of the director nominees requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the total number of votes cast by the holders of the shares of common stock, voting as a separate class.

Approval of USA's Amended and Restated 2000 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Total Voting Power present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting on this proposal.

Approval of the ratification of auditors requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Total Voting Power present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting on this proposal.

Pursuant to an amended and restated stockholders agreement, each of Vivendi Universal S.A. ("Vivendi"), Universal Studios, Inc., a subsidiary of Vivendi ("Universal"), and Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") has granted to Mr. Diller an irrevocable proxy over all USA securities owned by Vivendi, Liberty and their subsidiaries for all matters, except that each of Mr. Diller and Liberty generally has the right to consent to limited matters in the event that USA's ratio of total debt to

EBITDA (as defined in an amended and restated governance agreement among USA, Vivendi, Universal, Liberty and Mr. Diller) equals or exceeds four to one over a continuous 12-month period. As a result, Mr. Diller, through shares owned by him as well as those owned by Liberty and Vivendi, generally controls the vote on 19.4% of the common stock, 100% of the Class B common stock and 66.0% of the combined voting power of the common stock, the Class B common stock and the preferred stock. Thus, regardless of the vote of any other USA stockholder, Mr. Diller has control over the vote on each matter to be considered by stockholders at the Annual Meeting other than the election of the three directors to be elected separately by the holders of the common stock.

Quorum; Broker Non-Votes

The presence, either in person or by proxy, of the holders of USA's securities representing a majority of USA's Total Voting Power entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Shares of USA common stock, Class B common stock and preferred stock represented by a properly executed proxy will be treated as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, without regard to whether the proxy is marked as casting a vote or abstaining. Abstentions and broker non-votes, although counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum at the Annual Meeting, will not be voted. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote the shares on a proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

With respect to the approval of USA's Amended and Restated 2000 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan and the ratification of auditors, abstentions will have the same effect as votes against such proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of such proposal.

If a quorum is not obtained, it is expected that the Annual Meeting will be postponed or adjourned in order to permit additional time for soliciting and obtaining additional proxies or votes, and, at any subsequent reconvening of the Annual Meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as such proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the Annual Meeting, except for any proxies that theretofore have been effectively revoked or withdrawn.

Solicitation of Proxies and Expenses

USA will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies from its stockholders. In addition to solicitation by mail, the directors, officers and employees of USA may solicit proxies from stockholders by telephone, letter, facsimile or in person. Following the original mailing of the proxies and other soliciting materials, USA will request brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders to forward copies of the proxy and other soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares of common stock and preferred stock and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases, USA, upon the request of the record holders, will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses.

USA has retained MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to distribute proxy solicitation materials to brokers, banks and other nominees and to assist in the solicitation of proxies from USA stockholders. The fee for such firm's services is estimated not to exceed $15,000 plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

The options vest over four years, with 25% vesting on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, and remain exercisable for ten years from the date of grant. Subject to applicable law, these options are freely transferable by the holders thereof by written notice to the Company, or by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.

In August 1995, the Company granted to Mr. Diller stock options to acquire 7,583,388 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $5.66 per share (both the number of shares and the exercise price have been adjusted to reflect the Company's two stock splits since the date of grant) pursuant to the Equity and Bonus Compensation Agreement.

For additional information about this agreement, please see "Executive Compensation—Equity Bonus Agreement; Employment Agreements" below.

1997 Director Stock Option Agreement

In January 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock option grant to acquire 9,000 shares of USA common stock at an exercise price of $5.64 per share (both the number of shares and the exercise price have been adjusted to reflect the Company's two stock splits since the date of grant) to a member of the Company's Board of Directors for his continuing contributions to the board. The options vested in thirds, with the first third vesting on the date of grant, the second vesting in May 1997 and the remainder vesting in May 1998. The options expire May 2003.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file initial statements of beneficial ownership (Form 3) and statements of changes in beneficial ownership (Forms 4 and 5) of common stock and other equity securities of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, and/or written representations that no additional forms were required, the Company believes that its officers, directors and greater than 10%

beneficial owners complied with these filing requirements in 2002, except that due to administrative error, each of Messrs. Kaufman and Khosrowshahi did not timely file one Form 4 to report the withholding of shares upon vesting of restricted stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations, which have subsequently been filed, and Mr. Bronfman did not timely file one Form 4 to report a purchase of shares for his 401K plan, which has subsequently been filed.

ITEM 2
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED USA INTERACTIVE
2000 STOCK AND ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

Introduction

In 2000, the stockholders of USA voted on and approved the 2000 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan in order to, among other things, approve the performance measures under the plan, which are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) generally requires that any changes to the performance goals set forth in the plan be approved by the company's stockholders. USA wishes to amend the plan to, among other things, change the performance measures to include EBITA and to make the definition of EBITDA consistent in relevant part. Accordingly, USA is seeking stockholder approval of the Amended and Restated 2000 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan. USA is not seeking to increase the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan.

Subject to stockholder approval, the performance measures have been changed to include EBITA, which is defined as: for any period, operating profit (loss) plus (i) amortization, including goodwill impairment, as disclosed in USA's filings with the SEC, (ii) amortization of non-cash distribution and marketing expense and non-cash compensation expense, as disclosed in USA's filings with the SEC, (iii) disengagement expenses, defined as costs incurred by Home Shopping Network as a result of the sale of USA Broadcasting stations which previously aired Home Shopping programming, (iv) restructuring charges, as defined under GAAP, (v) non cash write-downs of assets or goodwill, defined as write-downs of such items that did not result in a cash expenditure in the current period, (vi) charges relating to disposal of lines of business, (vii) litigation settlement amounts, and (viii) costs incurred for proposed and completed acquisitions that are not allowed to be capitalized under GAAP.

In addition, subject to stockholder approval, the definition of EBITDA has been changed from: consolidated earnings (losses) of USA before extraordinary items and the cumulative effect of accounting changes, as determined by USA in accordance with GAAP, and before interest (expenses or income), taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash gains and losses from sales of assets other than in the ordinary course of business and non-cash expense charged against earnings resulting from the application of accounting for business combinations in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 ("APB No. 16") to: operating profit (loss) plus (i) depreciation and amortization, including goodwill impairment, as disclosed in USA's filings with the SEC, (ii) amortization of non-cash distribution and marketing expense and non-cash compensation expense, as disclosed in USA's filings with the SEC, (iii) disengagement expenses, defined as costs incurred by Home Shopping Network as a result of the sale of USA Broadcasting stations which previously aired Home Shopping programming, (iv) restructuring charges, as defined under GAAP, (v) non cash write-downs of assets or goodwill, defined as write-downs of such items that did not result in a cash expenditure in the current period, (vi) charges relating to disposal of lines of business, (vii) litigation settlement amounts, and (viii) costs incurred for proposed and completed acquisitions that are not allowed to be capitalized under GAAP in the amended and restated plan.

In addition to modifying the definition of EBITDA and adding EBITA as a performance goal, amendments to the plan include:

•: specifying that shares used for exercises of options and for withholding of taxes will be available for grant under the plan;
•: enabling USA to establish a performance period under the bonus program of less than one year;
•: amending the plan's change of control definition to eliminate the clause providing that an acquisition of USA by Vivendi Universal, S.A. would not constitute a change of control and to provide that a change of control would not occur upon stockholder approval of certain business combinations, but upon consummation of such business combinations;
•: broadening the delegation of administrative authority to allow management to be delegated authority to make grants to the extent permitted by applicable law;
•: clarifying the specific number of incentive stock options ("ISOs") that may be granted under the plan;
•: adding attestation of shares as mechanism for exercising options with previously owned shares; and
•: adding a section permitting modification of the plan if necessary to comply with foreign laws.

USA is not seeking to increase the number of shares available for awards under the plan or to amend the maximum number of equity awards or maximum amount of bonuses that may be granted or paid to participants under the plan. Except as set forth above, all material terms of the plan will remain in effect as initially approved at the 2000 annual meeting. The following description of the material terms of the plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Amended and Restated 2000 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix B.

Description

Administration. The plan will be administered by the Compensation/Benefits Committee or such other committee of the Board as the Board may from time to time establish. The committee administering the plan will be referred to in this description as the "committee." Among other things, the committee will have the authority to select individuals to whom awards may be granted, to determine the type of award as well as the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each award, and to determine the terms and conditions of any such awards. All determinations by the committee or its designee under the plan will be final, binding and conclusive.

Eligibility. Persons who serve or agree to serve as officers, employees, non-employee directors or consultants of USA and its subsidiaries and affiliates designated by the committee who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and profitability of USA are eligible to be granted awards under the plan.

Plan Features. The plan, as originally approved by stockholders in April 2000, authorizes the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the grant or exercise of stock options, including incentive stock options ("ISOs"), nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock, performance units and bonus awards. This authorized amount is not being changed as a result of the amendment and restatement of the plan. No single 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. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to ISOs will be 16,000,000. If any award is forfeited or if any stock option or SAR terminates without being exercised, or if any SAR is exercised for cash, shares of common stock subject to such awards will be

available for distribution in connection with awards under the plan. If the option price of any stock option granted under the plan is satisfied by delivering shares of common stock to USA (by actual delivery or attestation), only the number of shares of common stock issued net of the shares of common stock delivered or attested to will be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of common stock available for delivery under awards other than ISOs under the plan. To the extent any shares are not delivered to a participant because such shares are used to satisfy any applicable tax-withholding obligation, such shares will not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of common stock available for delivery under the plan. The shares subject to grant under the plan are to be made available from authorized but unissued shares or from treasury shares, as determined from time to time by the Board. No awards outstanding on the termination date of the plan will be affected or impaired by such termination. Awards generally will not be transferable, except by will and the laws of descent and distribution and, in the case of nonqualified stock options, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or, if permitted in the option agreement, pursuant to a gift to an optionee's immediate family or a specified individual (or a trust, partnership or limited liability company for such family or individual) or a charitable organization.

As indicated above, several types of awards can be made under the plan. A summary of these grants is set forth below.

Stock Options. Eligible individuals can be granted stock options under the plan. The exercise price of such options cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock underlying the options on the date of grant. Stock options can either be ISOs or nonqualified stock options. The term of options is as determined by the committee, but an ISO may not have a term longer than ten years from the date of grant. Optionees may pay the exercise price in cash or, if approved by the committee, in common stock (valued at its fair market value on the date of exercise) or a combination thereof, or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by "cashless exercise" through a broker or by withholding shares otherwise receivable on exercise. The committee will determine the vesting and exercise schedule of options, and the extent to which they will be exercisable after the optionee's employment terminates. Generally, unvested options terminate upon termination of employment, and vested options will remain exercisable for one year after the optionee's death, three years after the optionee's termination for disability, five years after the optionee's retirement and 90 days after the optionee's termination for any other reason. Vested options will also terminate upon the optionee's termination for "cause" (as defined in the plan).

SARs. SARs may be granted in conjunction with an option. An SAR entitles the holder to receive, upon exercise, the excess of the fair market value of a specified number of shares of common stock at the time of exercise over a specified price per share. Such amount will be paid to the holder in stock (valued at its fair market value on the date of exercise), cash or a combination thereof, as the committee may determine. An SAR is exercisable only when the related option is exercisable. The option will be cancelled to the extent that its related SAR is exercised, and the SAR will be cancelled to the extent the option is exercised.

Restricted Stock. Restricted stock may be granted with such restriction periods as the committee may designate. The committee may provide that a grant of restricted stock will vest upon the continued service of the participant and/or the satisfaction of applicable performance goals. The period during which the award is subject to such restrictions is referred to in this description as the "restricted period." Performance goals must be based on the attainment of one or any combination of the following: specified levels of earnings per share from continuing operations, EBITDA, EBITA, operating income, revenues, return on operating assets, return on equity, profits, total stockholder return (measured in terms of stock price appreciation and/or dividend growth) and/or stock price. Such performance goals may be based on the performance of USA or such subsidiary, affiliate, division or

department of USA for which the participant performs services and that are intended to qualify for Section 162(m)(4)(c) of the Code, and also may be based on the attainment of specified levels of USA's performance under one or more of the measures described above relative to the performance of other corporations. In this description, performance goals based on the foregoing factors are referred to as "performance goals." The terms and conditions of restricted stock awards (including any applicable performance goals) need not be the same with respect to each participant. During the restriction period, the committee may require that the stock certificates evidencing restricted shares be held by USA. Restricted stock may not generally be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, and is generally forfeited upon termination of employment, unless otherwise provided by the committee. Other than such restrictions on transfer and any other restrictions the committee may impose, the participant will have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the restricted stock award.

Performance Units. The committee may grant performance units payable in cash or shares of common stock, conditioned upon the continued service of the participant and/or the satisfaction of applicable performance goals. An "award cycle" consists of a period of consecutive fiscal years or portions thereof designated by the committee over which performance units are to be earned. At the conclusion of a particular award cycle, the committee will determine the number of performance units granted to a participant that have been earned and will deliver to such participant (i) the number of shares of common stock equal to the number of performance units determined by the committee to have been earned and/or (ii) cash equal to the fair market value of such shares. The committee may, in its discretion, permit participants to defer the receipt of payment under performance units. The committee may determine in the applicable performance unit agreement whether, and the manner in which, dividend equivalents will be payable with respect to performance units and any restrictions that will be applicable to such dividend equivalents.

Bonus Awards. Bonus awards granted to eligible employees of USA and its subsidiaries and affiliates under the plan will be based upon the attainment of the performance goals established by the committee for the plan year or a shorter period. Bonus amounts earned by any individual will be limited to $10,000,000 for any calendar year. Bonus amounts will be paid in cash or, in the discretion of the committee, in common stock, as soon as practicable (but within 90 days) following the end of the performance period. The committee may reduce or eliminate a participant's bonus award notwithstanding the achievement of performance goals.

Tax Offset Bonuses. At the time an award is made under the plan 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 if the award results in compensation income to the participant.

Change in Capitalization/Change in Control. The plan provides that, in the event of any change in corporate capitalization, such as a stock split, or a corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation, separation, spinoff or other distribution of property (including any extraordinary cash or stock dividend), or any reorganization or partial or complete liquidation of USA, the committee or the Board may make such substitution or adjustment in the aggregate number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the plan, in the individual grant limits under the plan, in the number, kind and option price of shares subject to outstanding stock options and SARs, and in the number and kind of shares subject to other outstanding awards granted under the plan as may be determined to be appropriate by the committee or the Board, in its sole discretion. Any adjustment described in the immediately preceding sentence need not be the same for all participants. The plan also provides that in the event of a "change in control" (as defined in the plan) of USA: (i) SARs and stock options outstanding as of the date of the change in control, which are not then exercisable and vested will become fully exercisable and vested, (ii) the restrictions and deferral limitations applicable to restricted

stock will lapse and such restricted stock will become free of all restrictions and fully vested, (iii) all performance units will be considered to be earned and payable in full and any deferral or other restrictions will lapse and such performance units will be settled in cash or shares of USA common stock as promptly as practicable, (iv) unless provided otherwise at the time of grant, stock options may be surrendered, subject to certain limitations, at any time during the 60-day period following such change in control, for a cash payment (or, in certain circumstances, an equivalent number of shares of USA common stock or common stock of an acquiror) equal to the spread between the exercise price of the option and the "change in control price" (as defined in the plan) and (v) bonus awards may be paid out in whole or in part, in the discretion of the committee, notwithstanding whether performance goals have been achieved.

Amendment and Discontinuance. The plan may be amended, altered or discontinued by the Board, but, except as required by applicable law, NASDAQ or stock exchange rules, tax rules or accounting rules, no amendment, alteration or discontinuance may impair the rights of an optionee under an option or a recipient of an SAR, restricted stock award, performance unit award or bonus award previously granted without the optionee's or recipient's consent. The plan may not be amended without stockholder approval to the extent such approval is required by applicable law, NASDAQ or stock exchange rules or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, USA may amend or alter the plan (or set up a program under the plan) in such a manner as may be necessary so as to have the plan conform to local rules and regulations in any jurisdiction outside the United States. No amendment may cause a qualified performance-based award to cease to qualify for the exemption for "performance based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is intended only as a brief summary of the federal income tax rules that are generally relevant to stock options. The laws governing the tax aspects of awards are highly technical and such laws are subject to change.

Nonqualified Options. Upon the grant of a nonqualified option, the optionee will not recognize any taxable income and USA will not be entitled to a deduction. Upon the exercise of such an option or related SAR, the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired on the exercise of the option or SAR over the exercise price or the cash paid under an SAR (the "spread") will constitute compensation taxable to the optionee as ordinary income. USA, in computing its U.S. federal income tax, will generally be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the compensation taxable to the optionee, subject to the limitations of Code Section 162(m).

ISOs. An optionee will not recognize taxable income on the grant or exercise of an ISO. However, the spread at exercise will constitute an item includible in alternative minimum taxable income, and, therefore, may subject the optionee to the alternative minimum tax. Such alternative minimum tax may be payable even though the optionee receives no cash upon the exercise of the ISO with which to pay such tax. Upon the disposition of shares of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO, after the later of (i) two years from the date of grant of the ISO or (ii) one year after the transfer of the shares to the optionee (the "ISO Holding Period"), the optionee will recognize long-term capital gain or loss, as the case may be, measured by the difference between the stock's selling price and the exercise price. USA is not entitled to any tax deduction by reason of the grant or exercise of an ISO, or by reason of a disposition of stock received upon exercise of an ISO if the ISO Holding Period is satisfied. Different rules apply if the optionee disposes of the shares of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO before the expiration of the ISO Holding Period.

Option Grants

The following table presents information with respect to options to purchase USA's common stock granted to the Named Executive Officers during the year ended December 31, 2002. The grants were made under the 2000 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan ("2000 Incentive Plan"). USA announced during the third quarter of 2002 its intention to change its primary form of equity-based incentive compensation from stock options to restricted stock units.

The 2000 Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation/Benefits Committee and the Performance-Based Compensation Committee, which have the sole discretion to determine the selected officers, employees and consultants to whom incentive or non-qualified options, SARs, restricted stock and performance units may be granted. As to these awards, the Compensation/Benefits Committee and the Performance-Based Compensation Committee also have the sole discretion to determine the number, type, exercise price, vesting schedule and other terms, conditions and restrictions of the grants. The Compensation/Benefits Committee and the Performance-Based Compensation Committee also retain discretion, subject to plan limits, to modify the terms of outstanding options and to reprice such options. The exercise price of an incentive stock option granted under the 2000 Incentive Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of USA's common stock on the date of grant. In addition, options granted under the 2000 Incentive Plan terminate ten years from the date of grant. To date, only non-qualified stock options have been granted under the 2000 Incentive Plan.

(1): Options to purchase USA stock granted during 2002 generally become exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date. All of these options expire ten years from the date of grant.
(2): These amounts represent assumed rates of appreciation only, and also assume that all of the options vest and become exercisable, and that they are held in each case for the full 10-year term. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance of the common stock as well as on the option holders' continued employment through the vesting period and other contractual provisions. Potential value is reported net of the option exercise price, but before taxes associated with exercise. The amounts reflected in this table may not be achieved.

The table below presents information concerning the exercise of stock options by the Named Executive Officers during the year ended December 31, 2002, and the fiscal year-end value of all unexercised options.

(1): Represents the difference between the exercise price of the options and the closing price of USA's common stock on the date of exercise and does not exclude the U.S. federal and state taxes due upon exercise.
(2): Represents the difference between $22.92, the closing price of USA's common stock on December 31, 2002, and the exercise price of the options, and does not include the U.S. federal and state taxes due upon exercise.
(3): Mr. Khosrowshahi also holds 87,300 options to acquire Hotels Class A common Stock. At December 31, 2002, 8,133 of such options were exercisable and 79,367 of such options were not exercisable. The value of such options at year end was $314,178 and $3,090,947, respectively, based on the difference between $54.63, the closing price of Hotels' Class A common stock on December 31, 2002, and the exercise price of the options, and does not include the U.S. federal and state taxes due upon exercise. During 2002, Mr. Khosrowshahi acquired 70,000 shares of Hotels.com common stock upon the exercise of options with a value realized of $3,034,310.
(4): Represents exercises of options to acquire Ticketmaster common stock.

Compensation of Outside Directors

During 2002, each director of USA who is not an employee of USA or any of its subsidiaries receives an annual retainer of $30,000 and the chairperson of each standing committee receives an annual retainer of $2,500. USA also pays each of these directors $1,000 for each USA Board meeting and each USA Board committee meeting attended, plus reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by a director as a result of attendance at any of these meetings. For the year ended December 31, 2002, directors that were designated by Liberty waived their rights to receive the annual retainer and attendance fees.

Under the USA Directors' Stock Option Plan, as amended, directors who are not employees of USA or any of its subsidiaries receive a grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of USA common stock upon initial election to office and thereafter receive a grant of options to purchase 10,000 shares of USA common stock annually on the date of USA's annual meeting of stockholders at which the director is re-elected. The exercise price per share of USA common stock subject to the options is the fair market value of USA common stock on the date of grant, which is defined as the mean of the high and low sale price on the date on any stock exchange on which the common stock is listed or as reported by NASDAQ. The options vest in three equal annual installments commencing on the first

anniversary of the grant date. The options expire ten years from the date of grant. For the year ended December 31, 2002, directors that were designated by Liberty waived their rights to receive such option grants. The USA Directors' Stock Option Plan was terminated in early 2003 and no additional grants will be made pursuant to this plan.

Under USA's Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, non-employee directors may defer all or a portion of their annual retainer and meeting fees. Eligible directors who defer their directors' fees can elect to have such deferred fees applied to the purchase of share units, representing the number of share of USA common stock that could have been purchased on the relevant date, or credited to a cash fund. If any dividends are paid on USA common stock, dividend equivalents will be credited on the share units. The cash fund will be credited with deemed interest at an annual rate equal to the weighted average prime lending rate of JP Morgan Chase Bank. Upon termination, a director will receive (1) with respect to share units, such number of shares of USA common stock as the share units represent; and (2) with respect to the cash fund, a cash payment. The payments made upon termination will be either in a lump sum or in installments, as previously elected by the eligible director at the time of the related deferral election.

In early 2003, the director compensation program was amended by the USA Board of Directors. For 2003, each director of USA who is not an employee of USA or any of its subsidiaries will receive an annual retainer of $30,000, the chairperson of the Compensation/Benefits Committee and each member of the Audit Committee receives an annual retainer of $5,000 and the chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual retainer of $5,000. USA will also pay each of these directors $1,000 for each USA Board meeting and each USA Board committee meeting attended, plus reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by a director as a result of attendance at any of these meetings. In addition, directors who are not employees of USA or any of its subsidiaries receive a grant of 7,500 restricted stock units upon initial election to office and annually thereafter on the date of USA's annual meeting of stockholders at which the director is re-elected, which units will vest in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Equity Compensation Agreement; Employment Agreements

Mr. Diller. Under the Equity and Bonus Compensation Agreement dated August 24, 1995, USA issued and sold to Mr. Diller 883,976 shares of USA's common stock at $5.65625 per share in cash (the "Initial Diller Shares") and an additional 883,976 shares of common stock for the same per share price (the "Additional Diller Shares") payable by means of a cash payment of $2,210 and an interest-free, secured, non-recourse promissory note in the amount of $4,997,779. These amounts have been adjusted as appropriate to reflect the two two-for-one stock splits to holders of record as of the close of business on March 12, 1998 and February 10, 2000, respectively. The promissory note is secured by the Additional Diller Shares and by that portion of the Initial Diller Shares having a fair market value on the purchase date of 20% of the principal amount of the promissory note.

Mr. Diller's Equity and Bonus Compensation Agreement with USA also provides for a gross-up payment to be made to Mr. Diller, if necessary, to eliminate the effect of the imposition of the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code upon payments made to Mr. Diller and imposition of income and excise taxes on the gross-up payment.

Mr. Diller was also granted a bonus arrangement, contractually independent from the promissory note, under which he received a bonus payment of approximately $2.5 million on August 24, 1996, and was to receive a further such bonus payment on August 24, 1997, which was deferred. The deferred amount accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum. Mr. Diller also received $966,263 for payment of taxes by Mr. Diller due to the compensation expense which resulted from the difference in the per share fair market value of USA's common stock and the per share purchase price of the Initial Diller Shares and Additional Diller Shares.

Mr. Khosrowshahi. On July 24, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), USA and Mr. Khosrowshahi entered into an amended and restated employment agreement for a term that expired on March 3, 2003 and

provided for an annual base salary of $450,000 per year and provided that Mr. Khosrowshahi was also eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus.

Mr. Khosrowshahi's employment agreement provided for a grant of options ("USA Options") on July 24, 2000 to purchase 300,000 shares of USA's common stock. Mr. Khosrowshahi's options become exercisable in four equal installments, with 25% having vested on July 24, 2001 and an additional 25% having vested on or vesting on each of the next three anniversaries of that date. Under the employment agreement, upon a change of control of USA, 100% of Mr. Khosrowshahi's options would become vested and exercisable. In addition, upon termination of Mr. Khosrowshahi's employment by USA for any reason other than death, disability or cause, or if Mr. Khosrowshahi terminated his employment for good reason, the agreement provided USA would be required to pay Mr. Khosrowshahi his base salary through the term of his agreement over the course of the then remaining term, subject to mitigation by Mr. Khosrowshahi. In the event of a termination for any reason other than death, disability or cause or if Mr. Khosrowshahi terminated his employment for good reason, the agreement provided that Mr. Khosrowshahi's USA Options and all other options ("Prior Options") held by him prior to the Effective Date would immediately vest and remain outstanding for the earlier of one year from the date of termination and the end of the term of such options. In addition, if on or prior to December 3, 2002, after written notice from the executive, USA has not offered Mr. Khosrowshahi an extension of term until July 25, 2004, the USA Options, other than those to vest on July 24, 2004, shall immediately vest and they and any then outstanding Prior Options shall remain outstanding until March 3, 2004. This acceleration provision has not been triggered.

Mr. Genachowski. On August 9, 2000, USA and Mr. Genachowski entered into an employment agreement, which was subsequently amended on September 30, 2002. The term of the amended agreement expires on December 31, 2004 and provides for an annual base salary of $500,000 per year. The agreement also provides that Mr. Genachowski is eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus. Under the agreement, Mr. Genachowski is entitled to receive an annual housing allowance, plus tax gross-up for such allowance, not to exceed an aggregate of $100,000. Commencing December 31, 2003, the agreement provides Mr. Genachowski with the ability to be based in Washington, D.C. for the remainder of the term, with any change in location potentially involving a change in position, provided his compensation and benefits would remain unchanged. The agreement also provides for a four-month sabbatical, with his compensation (including bonus) and benefits not being affected thereby.

Mr. Genachowski's employment agreement provided for a grant of options on August 9, 2000 to purchase 200,000 shares of USA's common stock. Mr. Genachowski's options become exercisable in four equal installments, with 25% having vested on August 9, 2001 and an additional 25% having vested or vesting on each of the next three anniversaries of that date. Upon a change of control of USA, 100% of Mr. Genachowski's options become vested and exercisable. Upon termination of Mr. Genachowski's employment by USA for any reason other than death, disability or cause, or if Mr. Genachowski terminates his employment for good reason, USA is required to pay Mr. Genachowski his base salary through the term of his agreement over the course of the then remaining term and continue the housing allowance for the remainder of the term, subject, in each case, to mitigation by Mr. Genachowski. In the event of a termination for any reason other than cause or if Mr. Genachowski terminates his employment for good reason, Mr. Genachowski's options that would vest in the 12 months following such termination will vest immediately and remain exercisable for one year from the date of such termination.

Mr. Marriott. On March 1, 2002, USA and Mr. Marriott entered into an employment agreement for a term continuing until March 1, 2005 and providing for an annual base salary of $400,000 per year. Mr. Marriott is also eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus and received a $100,000 signing bonus upon his commencement of employment with USA.

Mr. Marriott's employment agreement provides for a grant of options to purchase 150,000 shares of USA's common stock. Mr. Marriott's options become exercisable in four equal installments, with 25% vesting on January 25, 2003 and an additional 25% vesting on each of the next three anniversaries of that date. Upon a change of control of USA, 100% of Mr. Marriott's options become vested and exercisable. Upon termination of Mr. Marriott's employment by USA for any reason other than death, disability or cause, USA is required to pay Mr. Marriott his base salary through the term of his agreement over the course of the then remaining term, subject to mitigation by Mr. Marriott.

The graph below compares cumulative total return of USA common stock, the Nasdaq Composite Index and the Goldman Sachs Technology Industry Index based on $100 invested at the close of trading on December 31, 1997 through December 31, 2002. USA selected the Goldman Sachs Technology Industry Index as its Peer Group because it includes companies engaged in many of the same businesses as USA. In prior years, USA had compared its return to that of Standard & Poor's Entertainment Index; however, such index ceased being published at the end of 2001. In addition, following USA's contribution of its Entertainment Group to Vivendi Universal Entertainment in May 2002, USA ceased to be in the line of businesses previously represented by the Standard & Poor's Entertainment Index. USA selected the Goldman Sachs Technology Index as a replacement as USA believes that the companies included in the Goldman Sachs Technology Index provide a representative sample of enterprises in lines of businesses that are comparable to those in which the Company engages following completion of the Vivendi Transaction in May 2002.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Board of Directors has a Compensation/Benefits Committee, which in fiscal year 2002 was comprised of Mr. Donald Keough for the full year, Mr. William Savoy to June 2002, Ms. Anne M. Busquet to December 2002 and General Schwarzkopf and Mr. Robert Bennett from June 2002, and a Performance-Based Compensation Committee, which in fiscal year 2002 was comprised of Mr. Savoy to June 2002, Ms. Busquet to December 2002 and General Schwarzkopf from June 2002. None of the members of these Committees is or was in the past an officer or employee of USA or any of its subsidiaries at the time of their respective service on the Committees. Mr. Keough is Chairman of the Board of Allen & Company Incorporated and Ms. Busquet is currently President, Travel Services of USA. From time to time, USA has retained the services of Allen & Company Incorporated, a New York investment banking firm.

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation/Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors and the Performance-Based Compensation Committee (collectively, the "Committee") furnished the following joint report that provides an overview of the Company's compensation philosophy and executive compensation programs for the 2002 fiscal year.

Compensation Philosophy

The Company's executive compensation program is designed to reward exceptional performance and to align the financial interests of the Company's senior executives with those of the equity owners of the Company. To achieve this end, the Committee has developed and implemented a compensation program designed to attract, retain and incentivize highly skilled executives with the business experience and acumen necessary for achievement of the Company's long-term business objectives.

In 2002, the Committee continued, with certain variations, an incentive compensation program (the "2002 Program") initially adopted in 2001. The 2002 Program contains objective standards designed to provide strong performance incentives for employees and to reward key contributors to the overall success of the Company through cash bonuses and equity grants. The compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers is governed in part by the terms of certain agreements which are described under "Executive Compensation-Equity Compensation Agreement; Employment Agreements" herein.

Base Salary

The base salaries paid to the Company's executive officers are based upon recommendations of senior management, and have been approved by the Committee. Management and the Committee take into account a variety of factors in determining base salary, including (i) competitive salaries for comparable officers at comparable companies, (ii) individual performance and an assessment of the value of the individual's services to USA, (iii) the fairness of individual executive officers' salaries relative to their responsibilities, (iv) the salaries of other executive officers, and (v) USA's financial performance. At different times, depending upon prevailing circumstances, the Committee gives these criteria varying degrees of weight. During 2002, the Committee approved salary increases for Messrs. Khosrowshahi and Genachowski in connection with their promotions. Mr. Marriott was paid base salary in accordance with his employment agreement.

Annual Bonus

Pursuant to the 2002 Program, cash bonus pools were established for the Company and each of its divisions and subsidiaries, with the opportunity to increase (or decrease) the pool amounts primarily based upon the achievement of a specified level of EBITDA as compared to budgeted levels. There was also an opportunity to increase cash bonus pools for meeting one of certain additional specified

corporate objectives. Based on financial results for 2002, the Committee determined that the Company's EBITDA target was exceeded by more than 10% and that one of the specified corporate objectives had been met, resulting in a final cash bonus pool for the Company that exceeded the pool initially established. The Committee approved bonus amounts for the CEO and the other named executive officers based on specified percentages of the Company's final cash bonus pool.

Stock Based Compensation

During 2002, the Committee considered recent trends and debates in stock-based compensation, and determined that the Company's equity based awards for 2002 would consist of restricted stock units rather than stock options. The Committee believes that restricted stock unit awards create a strong link between employee and shareholder interests and reflect more closely the interests of the long-term investor. As a result of the 2002 Program, the Committee granted restricted stock units in early 2003 for 2002 performance.

The determination of the number of restricted stock units available for grant for 2002 performance and the allocation of the units followed the process used in prior years. At the end of 2002, an aggregate pool available for grant to executives at each division and at USA was proposed by senior management and reviewed with and approved by the Committee. Once the pool was established, the division heads and senior USA management made recommendations to the Committee regarding allocation to executives other than the five most highly compensated executive officers. The CEO made recommendations to the Committee regarding grants to the four most highly compensated executive officers other than the CEO and the Committee determined the number of restricted stock units to be granted to the CEO. Subject to certain guidelines based on salary levels, restricted stock unit grants from the established pool are discretionary. The factors that influenced decisions with respect to these grants included individual performance, an assessment of the value of the individual's services to USA, the awards given to other executives and the desire to keep the Company's overall compensation competitive. All grants are reviewed and approved by the Committee and vest over a five-year period subject, in the case of senior executive officers, to the satisfaction of certain specified performance goals.

The Committee did not award any stock options to executive officers during 2002 and has no plans to grant them in the future.

Tax Matters

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1,000,000 paid in any fiscal year to a corporation's chief executive officer and four other most highly compensated executive officers as of the end of any fiscal year. However, the statute exempts qualifying performance-based compensation from the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. The Company endeavors to structure certain of its compensation policies to comply with Section 162(m), including submitting certain matters to the Performance-Based Compensation Committee. Stock based compensation under the Company's 2000 Stock and Incentive Plan are also structured to comply with Section 162(m).

The Board, the Compensation/Benefits Committee and the Performance-Based Compensation Committee reserve the authority to award non-deductible compensation in appropriate circumstances. In addition, it is possible that some compensation paid pursuant to certain awards that have already been granted, including options granted by a company that was subsequently acquired by USA, may be nondeductible.

Compensation of Chief Executive Officer for the Fiscal Year

Effective September 25, 1998, the Committee authorized the payment to Mr. Diller of an annual base salary of $500,000. Prior to such time, Mr. Diller had not received a salary from the Company.

Mr. Diller's base salary for fiscal year 2002 remained unchanged and, like the period 1998-2002, Mr. Diller did not receive additional equity based grants in 2002. Based on achieving the targets set in the 2002 Program (and the Committee's overall assessment of Mr. Diller's stewardship of the Company during 2002), the Committee awarded Mr. Diller a bonus of $2,750,000 for fiscal year 2002. The Committee believes Mr. Diller's compensation is appropriate. Mr. Diller holds a very significant equity stake in the Company and, to the extent his performance as CEO translates into an increase in the value of the Company's stock, all stockholders, including Mr. Diller, share the benefit. The Committee may, in the future, elect to change base salary, bonus and/or grant additional equity awards to Mr. Diller.

Summary

The Committee believes that the Company's executive compensation program must continually provide executives with a strong incentive to focus on and achieve the Company's business objectives. By assuring that executives are appropriately compensated and therefore motivated, the long-term interests of stockholders will be best served. The actions taken by the Committee in 2002 were consistent with this focus and the principles outlined above.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee currently consists of three independent directors and operates under a written charter, which has been adopted by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee charter governs the operations of the Audit Committee and sets forth its responsibilities. Pursuant to its charter, the Committee provides assistance to the Board of Directors in monitoring (1) the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, (2) the independent auditor's qualifications and independence, (3) the performance of the Company's internal audit function and independent auditors, and (4) the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements. While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in its charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of management and the independent auditor.

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 with the Company's management and Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young"), our independent auditors.

The Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, "Communication with Audit Committees." In addition, the Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees" and has discussed with Ernst & Young its independence from the Company and its management.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements for the Company for the

fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Relationships with Officers and Directors

Mr. Diller, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of USA, is the sole holder of the voting stock of the BDTV Entities. The BDTV Entities hold shares of USA common stock and Class B common stock that have effective voting control of USA with respect to all matters submitted for the vote or consent of stockholders as to which stockholders vote together as a single class.

In 1997, USA and Mr. Diller agreed to defer repayment of an interest-free, secured, non-recourse promissory note in the amount of $4,997,779 due from Mr. Diller from September 5, 1997 to September 5, 2007. As of December 31, 2002, the promissory note remained outstanding. In 1997, Mr. Diller and USA agreed to defer the payment of a bonus in the amount of $2.5 million that otherwise was to be paid to Mr. Diller in 1997. The deferred bonus amount accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum.

In 2001, USA and Mr. Diller entered into an agreement with respect to the construction of facilities including a screening room on Mr. Diller's property and the payment of operating expenses relating thereto, to assist Mr. Diller in connection with Company-related activities. Construction costs

of approximately $1.8 million were paid by USA and the agreement provides that under certain circumstances, including upon Mr. Diller's termination of employment by USA or its affiliates, Mr. Diller shall have the option of paying to USA an amount equal to the depreciated book value of the construction costs to acquire the facilities. In 2002, operating expenses aggregating $13,451 relating to the facilities were paid by USA. Commencing in May 2002 until April 2003, VUE reimbursed the operating expenses of the facility to Mr. Diller in the amount of $34,088 and paid rent to USA in an amount of $109,064.

In October 2000, a subsidiary of USA and Nineteen Forty CC Inc. ("Nineteen Forty"), a company owned by Mr. Diller, acquired an aircraft for use by Mr. Diller and other directors and executive officers of USA in connection with USA's business. Nineteen Forty, which originally was under contract to purchase the aircraft, assigned to USA its rights under the purchase agreement and, in exchange, USA granted Nineteen Forty an option to acquire all or any portion of the aircraft for its depreciated value of USA's books if USA should ever acquire an ownership interest in the aircraft. The aircraft is currently owned 77.2% by the USA subsidiary and 22.8% by Nineteen Forty. USA's ownership interest remains subject to Nineteen Forty's option. USA pays all operating and maintenance expenses relating to the aircraft. In 2002, USA paid Nineteen Forty for use of Nineteen Forty's 22.8% interest in the aircraft at the rate of $53,031 per month. The foregoing payment rate was based on market rates for similar aircraft. Beginning in May 2002, VUE reimbursed USA for certain business expenses relating to Mr. Diller's aircraft use in connection with his performing services for VUE. From May 2002 until April 2003, payments from VUE to USA in respect of those business expenses aggregated $291,942.

USA maintains a furnished apartment in New York City for use by Mr. Diller. Mr. Diller reimbursed USA $385,298, covering in full USA's out-of-pocket costs of maintaining such apartment for 2002. In addition, USA reimburses certain expenses related to Mr. Diller's Los Angeles residence. Until May 2002, USA reimbursed Mr. Diller for 50% of such costs, and from May 2002 until April 1, 2003 USA and VUE each reimbursed Mr. Diller for 25% of such costs. Such reimbursed amounts for USA were not in excess of the amount USA would have incurred in hotel accommodation expenses relating to Mr. Diller's business travel to Los Angeles on behalf of USA. The reimbursed amounts relating to the Los Angeles residence by USA were $115,424 in 2002 and by VUE were $48,670 from May 2002 until April 2003.

From time to time, USA has retained the services of Allen & Company Incorporated, a New York investment banking firm. Mr. Keough, currently a member of the Board of Directors of USA, is Chairman of Allen & Company.

Vivendi Transaction

On May 7, 2002, USA completed the Vivendi Transaction, pursuant to which USA contributed USA's Entertainment Group to Vivendi Universal Entertainment LLLP, a joint venture with Vivendi ("VUE"), which joint venture also holds the film, television and theme park businesses of Universal, a subsidiary of Vivendi. The joint venture is controlled by Vivendi and its subsidiaries, with the common interests owned 93.06% by Vivendi and its subsidiaries, 5.44% by USA and its subsidiaries and 1.5% by Mr. Diller (subject to the assignments discussed below).

In connection with the Vivendi Transaction, USA and its subsidiaries received the following at the closing of the transactions: (i) approximately $1.62 billion in cash, debt-financed by the joint venture, subject to tax-deferred treatment for a 15-year period; (ii) a $750 million face value Class A preferred interest in the joint venture, with a 5% annual paid-in-kind dividend and a 20-year term, to be settled in cash at its then face value at maturity; (iii) a $1.75 billion face value Class B preferred interest in the joint venture, with a 1.4% annual paid-in-kind dividend, a 3.6% annual cash dividend, callable and puttable after 20 years, to be settled by Vivendi at its then face value with a maximum of approximately 43.2 million shares of USA common stock and 13.4 million shares of USA Class B common stock (for a total of approximately 56.6 million USA common shares), provided that Vivendi may substitute cash

in lieu of shares of USA common stock (but not USA Class B common stock), at its election; (iv) a 5.44% common interest in VUE, generally callable by Universal after five years and puttable by USA after eight years, which may be settled in either Vivendi stock or cash, at Universal's election; and (v) cancellation of all of Vivendi's interests in USANi LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("USANi LLC"), currently exchangeable into USA common shares, including USANi LLC interests obtained from Liberty in a related transaction (see immediately below).

In the aforementioned related transaction, Liberty exchanged 7,079,726 shares of USANi LLC for shares of USA common stock, and subsequently transferred to Universal 25,000,000 shares of USA common stock, entities holding its remaining 38,694,982 shares of USANi LLC, as well as the assets and liabilities of Liberty Programming France (which consist primarily of 4,921,250 shares of multiThematiques S.A., a French entity), in exchange for 37,386,436 Vivendi ordinary shares.

In addition, USA issued to Vivendi ten-year warrants to acquire shares of USA common stock as follows: 24,187,094 shares at $27.50 per share; 24,187,094 shares at $32.50 per share; and 12,093,547 shares at $37.50 per share. Barry Diller, USA's chairman and chief executive officer, received a common interest in VUE with a 1.5% profit sharing percentage in return for his agreeing to specified non-competition provisions and agreeing to serve as chairman and chief executive officer of the joint venture, which position he held from May 2002 to April 2003. USA and Mr. Diller have agreed that they will not compete with Vivendi's television and filmed entertainment businesses (including the joint venture) for a minimum of 18 months. In February 2002, Mr. Diller assigned to three executive officers of USA the right to receive beneficial interests in a portion of Mr. Diller's common interest in VUE. As a result of the assignments, upon closing of the transactions, Victor Kaufman, vice chairman and a director of USA, has an economic interest in Mr. Diller's VUE common interests subject to put and call rights with a minimum value of $15 million, and both of Dara Khosrowshahi, executive vice president and chief financial officer of USA, and Julius Genachowski, executive vice president and general counsel of USA, have an economic interest in Mr. Diller's VUE common interests subject to put and call rights with a minimum value of $2.5 million. From May 2002 to April 2003, Mr. Kaufman served as special advisor to the chairman and chief executive officer of VUE. In no event will any of the officers receive any amounts referred to above prior to the exercise of the put or call relating to Mr. Diller's common interest, nor will any of these officers have any right to exercise any voting interests relating to Mr. Diller's VUE common interest. As a result of the assignments, upon closing of the transactions, Mr. Diller's economic interest in his VUE common interest was reduced to 92.7% of the original 1.5% profit sharing percentage, subject to put and call rights at a minimum price of $255 million.

Upon consummation of the transactions, the following also occurred:

•: USA and Universal terminated the domestic distribution agreement and the international distribution agreement, both described below under "Other Relationships between USA and Universal";
•: USA, Vivendi, Universal, Liberty and Mr. Diller entered into an Amended and Restated Governance Agreement, effective at the closing of the transactions and superseding the previously existing Governance Agreement among the parties. The Amended and Restated Governance Agreement restricts Vivendi's ability to acquire additional USA equity securities and its ability to transfer USA securities. In addition, this agreement provides for continuing representation on USA's board of directors by Vivendi and Liberty. The agreement also eliminates Vivendi's right to veto specified "fundamental matters," and significantly limits the circumstances in which Liberty and Mr. Diller are entitled to exercise veto rights. Finally, the agreement eliminates Vivendi's preemptive rights with respect to USA common shares, while preserving Liberty's existing preemptive rights.

•: Vivendi, Universal, Liberty and Mr. Diller entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, effective at the closing of the transactions and superseding the previously existing Stockholders Agreement. Generally, the agreement governs the relationship among the stockholders, including rights of first refusal for sales of USA securities, tag-along rights for sales of USA securities by Liberty and Mr. Diller, restrictions on transfers of USA securities and a standstill by Mr. Diller with respect to Vivendi. Under this agreement, Mr. Diller generally has voting control over all of the USA shares owned by Vivendi and Liberty.

Summaries of the agreements relating to the Vivendi Transaction are set forth in, and copies of these agreements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Appendices A through F to, USA's Definitive Proxy Statement, dated March 25, 2002, and are available from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other Relationships and Transactions with Vivendi and its Affiliates

Vivendi currently holds a substantial equity interest in USA. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Governance Agreement, immediately following the closing of the Vivendi Transaction, Vivendi was entitled to two designees on the USA Board of Directors. As a result of a reduction in Vivendi's beneficial ownership interests in USA, Vivendi is currently entitled to designate one member for election to the USA Board of Directors and Vivendi's designee is Mr. Fourtou. Other than in his capacity as a stockholder and officer of Vivendi, and as a director and stockholder of USA, Mr. Fourtou does not have any direct or indirect interests in the Vivendi-USA agreements.

Following the closing of the Vivendi Transaction in May 2002, USA consented to two VUE financing transactions that, in effect, served to refinance VUE's $1.62 billion bridge loan that was incurred in connection with the closing of the Vivendi Transaction. First, on November 25, 2002, USA provided a limited consent to pledges of certain VUE assets and sales of certain VUE property in connection with the extension of the maturity of VUE's $1.62 billion bridge loan until June 30, 2003 or, if certain terms and conditions were met, September 30, 2003 (the "Extension Facility"). In connection with the Extension Facility, the VUE partnership agreement was amended so that, so long as the Extension Facility remains outstanding, Vivendi cannot cause VUE to file for bankruptcy or any similar proceeding without USA's consent. Also, certain intercompany loans between Vivendi and VUE were restructured in accordance with the provisions of an existing agreement between USA and Vivendi that clarified certain sections of the VUE partnership agreement.

Second, on March 31, 2003, VUE completed a new financing facility that permits it to issue up to $950 million in notes, which notes are to be secured by certain film rights owned by VUE (the "Film Rights Facility"). In connection with the Film Rights Facility, USA provided a limited consent to the sale and contribution of certain assets from one VUE subsidiary to another VUE subsidiary, the pledge of certain VUE assets to secure the notes issued under the facility, and the refinancing of a portion of the Extension Facility with the proceeds from the issuance of the notes. In connection with the consent, Vivendi and VUE provided indemnities to USA.

Also, on March 31, 2003, Vivendi, Universal Studios, Inc. and Mr. Diller entered into a letter agreement amending the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2001, between Vivendi, Universal Studios, Liberty and Mr. Diller to provide that Mr. Diller's irrevocable proxy over Vivendi's (and Universal's) USA common shares shall continue until the earlier of the time when Mr. Diller ceases to have any rights under the Stockholders Agreement and Vivendi and its stockholders group cease to beneficially own any USA common shares.

In February 2003, Vivendi sold to Deutsche Bank AG all of its warrants to acquire USA common stock with an exercise price of $27.50 per warrant and 8 million of its warrants to acquire USA common stock with an exercise price $32.50 for $7.52 per warrant. In connection with such sale, affiliates of Deutsche Bank issued and offered in a private placement floating rate high income

premium exchangeable notes due 2012, and USA entered into an indemnification agreement with an affiliate of Deutsche Bank related thereto.

See also "—Relationships with Officers and Directors."

VUE Distributions

As described above, USA and its subsidiaries hold a $1.75 billion face value Class B preferred interest in VUE, with a 1.4% annual paid-in-kind dividend, a 3.6% annual cash dividend. During 2002, USA received cash dividend payments with respect to the Class B preferred interests in VUE in an aggregate amount of $41.07 million.

In connection with the formation of VUE, USA and various of its affiliates entered into an amended and restated limited liability limited partnership agreement (the "Partnership Agreement"), dated as of May 7, 2002, with various affiliates of Vivendi, as well as with Mr. Diller. The Partnership Agreement provides that VUE "shall, as soon as practicable after the close of each taxable year, make cash distributions to each Partner in an amount equal to the product of (a) the amount of taxable income allocated to such Partner for such taxable year... and (b) the highest aggregate marginal statutory Federal, state, local and foreign income tax rate... applicable to any Partner." The Partnership Agreement also provides that taxable income of VUE is to be allocated to the partners, including USA and its affiliates, in a specified order, including amounts corresponding to the cash and pay-in-kind distributions on USA and its affiliates' preferred interests in VUE, which represent a 5% annual return on those interests (the "Preferred Return"). The actual amount of cash distributions with respect to taxable income on the Preferred Return would depend on several factors, including the amount of VUE's earnings and federal, state, and local income tax rates.

Pursuant to these provisions of the Partnership Agreement, VUE made a payment to USA in respect of its common interests in VUE in the amount of $1.4 million related to the year ended December 31, 2002. However, in an exchange of correspondence commencing in November 2002, Vivendi advised USA that it does not believe that VUE is obligated under the Partnership Agreement to make these payments in respect of taxable income allocated to USA and its affiliates with respect to the Preferred Return, and USA advised Vivendi that it disagrees entirely with Vivendi's position and believes that VUE is obligated under the Partnership Agreement to make the cash distributions to USA and its affiliates described above. To date, the disagreement remains unresolved. On April 15, 2003, USA filed a lawsuit against Vivendi and VUE to enforce certain provisions of the VUE Partnership Agreement relating to distributions relating to the taxable income allocable in respect of USA's preferred interests in VUE.

Universal Transaction

On February 12, 1998, the Company completed the Universal transaction, in which USA acquired USA Networks, a New York partnership (which consisted of USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel cable television networks), and the domestic television production and distribution business ("Studios USA") of Universal from Universal. These assets were subsequently contributed to VUE in connection with the Vivendi Transaction. See "—Vivendi Transaction." USA paid Universal approximately $1.6 billion in cash ($300 million of which was deferred with interest) and an effective 45.8% interest in USA through shares of common stock, Class B common stock and shares of USANi LLC. Prior to the Vivendi Transaction, while Universal and Liberty held interests in USANi LLC directly, USA maintained control and management of USANi LLC, and the businesses held by USANi LLC were managed by USA in substantially the same manner as they would have been if USA held them directly through wholly owned subsidiaries. The USANi LLC shares were exchangeable for shares of common stock and Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis. In connection with the Vivendi Transaction described above, all shares of USANi LLC held by Universal and Liberty were exchanged for shares of

USA common stock or cancelled. Following the Vivendi Transaction, USANi LLC became wholly owned by USA and its subsidiaries.

In connection with the Universal transaction, USA, Vivendi, Universal, Liberty and Mr. Diller entered into various transaction agreements, including the following:

•: an investment agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, (1) each of Universal and Liberty were granted a preemptive right, subject to limitations, to maintain their respective percentage ownership interests in USA in connection with future issuances of USA capital stock and (2) with respect to issuances of USA capital stock in specified circumstances, Universal is obligated to maintain the percentage ownership interest in USA that it had prior to the issuances;
•: a governance agreement which, among other things, (1) details restrictions on the acquisitions of additional USA securities, on the transfer of USA securities and other conduct restrictions, in each case, applicable to Universal and (2) governs Universal's and Liberty's rights to representation on the USA Board of Directors and Liberty's, Universal's and Mr. Diller's right to approve certain fundamental changes by USA or any USA subsidiary;
•: a stockholders agreement which, among other things, governs the ownership, voting, transfer or other disposition of USA securities owned by Universal, Liberty and Mr. Diller and their respective affiliates, and under which Mr. Diller exercises voting control over the equity securities of USA held by these persons and their affiliates; and
•: a spinoff agreement which, in the event Mr. Diller no longer serves as Chief Executive Officer of USA or becomes disabled, generally provides for interim arrangements relating to management of USA and efforts to achieve a spinoff or sale of USA's broadcast stations and, in the case of a spinoff, arrangements relating to their respective rights in USA resulting from the spinoff.

Summaries of these agreements are set forth in USA's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Furthermore, copies of these agreements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Appendices A through D to USA's Definitive Proxy Statement, dated January 12, 1998, and are available from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The parties to these agreements amended certain of these agreements, as described above under "—Vivendi Transaction," which amendments became effective upon closing of the Vivendi Transaction.

PolyGram Filmed Entertainment Transaction

In May 1999, USA acquired from an affiliate of Universal certain assets and liabilities relating to the domestic (including Canada) motion picture and home video distribution businesses of PolyGram Filmed Entertainment, Inc., including such businesses as conducted by Gramercy Pictures, Interscope Communications and Propaganda Films. These assets were subsequently contributed to VUE pursuant to the Vivendi Transaction. The consideration in the transaction consisted of the assumption by USA of certain liabilities of the acquired businesses. In addition, in connection with the transaction, USA and Universal entered into various related agreements, including:

•: a domestic distribution agreement relating to certain PolyGram films, pursuant to which USA has the exclusive right to distribute in the United States and Canada these films in theaters, on television and on video for a fee, which was approximately $0.4 million for the period January 1, 2002 through May 7, 2002;
•: a $200 million interest-bearing promissory note, pursuant to which USA loaned to Universal the face amount of the note, which is a recourse note and is payable out of the revenues otherwise due Universal under the distribution agreement, $39.4 million of which was outstanding during

2002 and the remaining outstanding amount of which was repaid at the time of consummation of the Vivendi Transaction; and

•: other ancillary agreements, relating to videogram fulfillment, music administration and transitional services, pursuant to which USA incurred fees to Universal of approximately $0.7 million for the period January 1, 2002 through May 7, 2002.

USA believes that the terms of the PolyGram transaction were at least as favorable to USA as the terms that would have been obtained from an unrelated third party.

Other Relationships between USA and Universal

Under the Universal transaction, USA and some of its subsidiaries entered into business agreements with Universal and some of its subsidiaries (some of which were terminated upon closing of the Vivendi Transaction, as described above) relating to, among other things: (1) the domestic distribution by USA of Universal-produced television programming and Universal's library of television programming for which USA received from Universal a fee of $0.5 million for the period January 1, 2002 through May 7, 2002; (2) the international distribution by Universal of television programming produced by Studios USA for which USA paid Universal a fee of $5.8 million for the period January 1, 2002 through May 7, 2002; (3) long-term arrangements relating to the use by Studios USA of Universal's production facilities in Los Angeles and Orlando, Florida, for which Universal charged USA $3.0 million for the period January 1, 2002 through May 7, 2002, of which $2.6 was capitalized to production costs; and (4) a joint venture relating to the development of international general entertainment television channels, which was terminated in 2001.

In October 2002, USA held a multi-day management conference at a hotel property owned by Universal for which USA paid Universal an aggregate of approximately $205,000.

During 2002, USA subsidiaries had arrangements pursuant to which they purchased admission tickets to Universal theme parks and/or studio tours, which purcahses totaled approximately $3,140,000.

HSN entered into various agreements with a Universal subsidiary whereby HSN offered Universal Studios themed merchandise on its programming. HSN paid the Universal subsidiary approximately $73,000 for such merchandise in 2002.

Match.com entered into agreements with various subsidiaries of Vivendi pursuant to which Match.com powered the personals services on the websites related to such subsidiaries. Match paid approximately $100,000 to those subsidiaries during 2002, including prepaid amounts.

USA believes that its business agreements with Universal entered into as part of these transactions were all on terms at least as favorable to USA as terms that could have been obtained from an independent third party.

In the ordinary course of business, USA may determine to enter into other agreements with Vivendi, Universal and their respective affiliates.

Relationship between USA and Liberty

Under the agreements relating to the Universal transaction, which were continued under the terms of the Amended and Restated Governance Agreement, two designees of Liberty, Messrs. Malone and Bennett, are members of the USA Board of Directors. Liberty holds a substantial equity interest in USA, and Liberty is a party to the Universal transaction agreements filed as exhibits to USA's publicly filed reports. As part of the Vivendi Transaction described above, Liberty exchanged certain of its shares of USANi LLC for shares of USA common stock and transferred the balance of those shares to Vivendi.

During April 1996, Home Shopping Network sold a majority of its interest in HSN Direct Joint Venture, its infomercial operation, for $5.9 million to entities controlled by Flextech P.L.C., a company controlled by Liberty. In each of February 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 Flextech paid Home Shopping Network a $250,000 installment of the purchase price. Home Shopping Network retains a 15% interest in the venture and a related corporation.

During 1996, Home Shopping Network, along with Jupiter Programming Company, formed Shop Channel, a television shopping venture based in Tokyo. Liberty Media International, Inc., a subsidiary of Liberty, owns a 50% interest in Jupiter, the 70% shareholder in the venture. Home Shopping Network owns a 30% interest in Shop Channel. During 1999, Home Shopping Network loaned $2.5 million to Shop Channel, of which $1.5 million was outstanding at December 31, 2002. In addition, Home Shopping Network sold inventory and provided services in the amount of $595,215 to Shop Channel during 2002.

USA believes that their business agreements with Liberty have been negotiated on an arm's-length basis and contain terms at least as favorable to USA as those that could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

In the ordinary course of business, and otherwise from time to time, USA may determine to enter into other agreements with Liberty and its affiliates.

Holdco Exchange

In June 2002, Liberty exchanged the shares it held in Home Shopping Network, Inc. for 31,620,063 shares of USA common stock and 1,596,544 shares of USA Class B common stock, pursuant to an Exchange Agreement between Liberty and USA dated as of June 27, 2002.

Exercise of Preemptive Rights

On April 7, 2003, pursuant to Liberty's preemptive rights under the Amended and Restated Governance Agreement that were triggered in connection with USA's acquisition of shares of Ticketmaster that it did not already own, the Company issued to Liberty 11,217,934 shares of USA common stock at a purchase price of $220,342,655.35 in cash. Pursuant to the terms of the preemptive rights provision, the purchase price was based on the price of USA common stock at the time of signing of the Ticketmaster merger agreement.

USANi LLC Distributions

Under the USANi LLC Operating Agreement, USANi LLC was obligated to make a distribution to each of the LLC members in an amount equal to each member's share of USANi LLC's taxable income at a specified tax rate. The final distribution payment was made to Universal and Liberty in 2002 in the amount of $154.1 million.

Relationship with Microsoft

Expedia Transaction. On February 4, 2002, USA completed its acquisition of a controlling interest in Expedia, Inc. In connection with the Expedia transaction, Microsoft agreed to vote the Expedia shares it beneficially owned or had the right to vote in favor of the transaction and granted USA an irrevocable proxy to vote its Expedia shares in this manner. Microsoft also agreed to elect to exchange all of its shares of Expedia common stock for Expedia Class B common stock, which were then exchanged for USA securities. Also in connection with the transactions, USA agreed to grant to Microsoft customary registration rights, including the right to underwritten offerings, relating to USA securities owned by Microsoft following completion of the transactions. As part of the registration rights, USA filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to Microsoft's USA securities.

Microsoft's registration rights relating to its USA securities are set forth in the voting and election agreement between USA and Microsoft. The voting and election agreement is attached as an exhibit to USA's registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-68120) and is available from the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of the Expedia transaction, Microsoft currently holds approximately 4.7% of USA's outstanding common stock, approximately 97.6% of USA's outstanding preferred stock and approximately 4.8% of the vote represented by all outstanding voting securities.

Other Agreements. During 2002, the Company provided $12.5 million in advertising to Microsoft, such advertising was obtained by USA from Universal Television pursuant to the Vivendi transaction. In addition, USA and its subsidiaries have entered into a series of commercial agreements with Microsoft generally relating to the adoption by USA and its subsidiaries of Microsoft technology and functionality, branding and advertising, and the provision of ticketing, city guide and personals content and functionality to the Microsoft Network. USA believes that these transactions result in terms to USA and its subsidiaries that are at least as favorable as those that could be obtained from a third party.

Microsoft/Expedia Agreements. In addition, prior to consummation of the Expedia transaction, Expedia and Microsoft amended the various agreements that the parties had previously put in place. These agreements relate to (i) the provision by Microsoft of certain administrative and operational services to Expedia, (ii) carriage and cross-promotion providing for co-branding on certain Microsoft sites, (iii) hosting services provided by Microsoft for Expedia's websites, (iv) licensing by Microsoft of certain intellectual property to Expedia, (v) Expedia's worldwide rights to use certain of Microsoft's retail products and internal tools, (vi) Microsoft's agreement to develop, maintain, host and serve maps on the Expedia websites and (vii) an assignment by Microsoft of patent applications to Expedia and Expedia's agreement to share royalties in certain circumstances.

In the ordinary course of business, and otherwise from time to time, USA may determine to enter into other agreements with Microsoft and its affiliates.

24.: Discuss with the Company's General Counsel legal matters that may have a material impact on the financial statements or the Company's compliance policies.

Limitation of Audit Committee's Role

While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of management and the independent auditor. Additionally, the Audit Committee as well as the Board recognizes that members of the Company's management who are responsible for financial management, as well as the independent auditors, have more time, knowledge, and detailed information on the Company than do Committee members; consequently, in carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee is not providing any expert or special assurances with respect to the Company's financial statements or any professional certifications as to the independent auditor's work.

In addition, certain other terms used herein have definitions given to them in the first place in which they are used.

SECTION 2. Administration

The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation/Benefits Committee or such other committee of directors as the Board may from time to time designate (the "Committee"), which shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board.

The Committee shall have plenary authority to grant Awards pursuant to the terms of the Plan to officers and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and Affiliates.

Among other things, the Committee shall have the authority, subject to the terms of the Plan:

(a): To select the officers and employees, to whom Awards may from time to time be granted;

(b): Determine whether and to what extent Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Performance Units and Bonus Awards or any combination thereof are to be granted hereunder;
(c): Determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;
(d): Determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, the option price (subject to Section 5(a)), any vesting condition, restriction or limitation (which may be related to the performance of the participant, the Corporation or any subsidiary or Affiliate) and any vesting acceleration or forfeiture waiver regarding any Award and the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based on such factors as the Committee shall determine;
(e): Modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any Award, at any time or from time to time, including but not limited to Performance Goals; provided, however, that the Committee may not adjust upwards the amount payable to a designated Covered Employee with respect to a particular award upon the satisfaction of applicable Performance Goals;
(f): Determine to what extent and under what circumstances Common Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred; and
(g): Determine under what circumstances an Award may be settled in cash or Common Stock under Sections 5(j), 8(b)(i), 10(b), and 11(a)(iii).

The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable, to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under the Plan (and any agreement relating thereto) and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

The Committee may act only by a majority of its members then in office, except that the members thereof may, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of NASDAQ or a stock exchange, delegate to any one or more of its members or to an officer of the Corporation all or any part of its responsibilities or powers (provided that no such delegation may be made that would cause Awards or other transactions under the Plan to cease to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or cause an Award designated as a Qualified Performance Based Award not to qualify for, or to cease to qualify for, the Section 162(m) Exemption). 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 such delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

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, the Board 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

(a): 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.

(b): If any Award is forfeited, or if any Stock Option (and related Stock Appreciation Right, if any) terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, or if any Stock Appreciation Right is exercised for cash, shares of Common Stock subject to such Awards shall again be available for distribution in connection with Awards under the Plan. If the Option Price of any Stock Option granted under the Plan is satisfied by delivering shares of Common Stock to the Corporation (by either actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of shares of Common Stock issued net of the shares of Common Stock delivered or attested to shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum numbers of shares of Common Stock available for delivery pursuant to Awards other than Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. To the extent any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award are not delivered to a participant because such shares are used to satisfy an applicable tax-withholding obligation, such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under the Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued, pursuant to Stock Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be 16,000,000 shares.
(c): 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 (including any extraordinary cash or stock dividend), 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 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. Any adjustment under this Section 3(c) need not necessarily be the same for all participants.

SECTION 4. Eligibility

Persons who serve or agree to serve as officers, employees, directors or consultants of the Corporation (including prospective officers, employees or consultants), 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 Stock Option, 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 (the "Option Price"), 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.
(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 and to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 Option 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 Option 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 a "family member" of such optionee 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), "family member" shall have the meaning given to such term in General Instructions A.1(a)(5) to form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any successor thereto, except as otherwise defined by the Committee. Such transferees may transfer a Stock Option only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding any transfer under this Section 5(e), Termination of Employment under the Plan shall refer to Termination of Employment of the original participant.
(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 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 in 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 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 Option 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 Option 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 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 or at the time of grant, condition the vesting of or grant of Restricted Stock upon the continued service of the participant, the attainment of Performance Goals, or both, and may designate an Award of Restricted Stock as a Qualified Performance-Based Award. 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 Amended and Restated USA Interactive 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 Interactive."

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, to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 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 or involuntarily without Cause or by the participant for "good reason" (as defined in the participant's employment agreement)) with respect to any or all of such participant's shares of Restricted Stock.
(v): If and when 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 or grant of Performance Units upon the continued service of the participant, the attainment of Performance Goals, or both, and may designate an Award of Performance Units as a Qualified Performance-Based Award. 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 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 or involuntarily without Cause or by the participant for "good reason" (as defined in the participant's employment agreement)) 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.
(vii): The Committee may determine in the applicable Performance Unit Agreement (or otherwise), whether and, the manner in which, dividend equivalents shall be payable on the shares of Common Stock with respect to which Performance Units have been awarded. In the event that the Committee determines to provide for the payment of dividend equivalents, such dividend equivalents shall be subject to vesting and payment restrictions (including the form of payment in cash or Common Stock) as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

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 Bonus Awards for each Plan Year or shorter period, if applicable (the "Bonus Period"). Prior to the beginning of the Bonus Period (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 Bonus Period; 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 any calendar 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 Bonus Period, but in any event within 90 days following the close of the Bonus Period. The Bonus Award 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 Bonus Period are satisfied or as otherwise set forth in Section 11, if at any time prior to the end of the Bonus Period the participant has a Termination Employment for any reason other than death or Disability or involuntarily without Cause or by the participant for "good reason" (as defined in the participant's employment agreement).

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.
(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, 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 the Effective Date, 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 the Effective Date, 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
(iii): Consummation 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 (or equivalent governing body, if applicable) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity 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, and their respective Affiliates, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Corporation or such entity 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 entity 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 (or equivalent governing body, if applicable) of the entity 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 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, except as required by applicable law, NASDAQ or stock exchange rules, tax rules or accounting rules. In addition, no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Corporation's stockholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable law, NASDAQ or stock exchange rules or by agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee or Board may amend or alter the Plan (or set up a program under the Plan) in such manner as may be necessary so as to have the Plan conform to local rules and regulations in any jurisdiction outside the United States.

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, except as required by applicable law, NASDAQ or stock exchange rules, tax rules or accounting rules. No amendment of the Plan or any Award shall cause a Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption (taking into consideration the deferral of any vesting, settlement or payment of an Award until a participant is no longer a Covered Employee).

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 subsidiaries and 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.
(e): Reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock or Performance Units at the time of any dividend payment with respect to Restricted Stock or Performance Units, respectively, 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.
(i): In the event an Award is granted to a participant who is employed or providing services outside the United States and who is not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan as they pertain to such individual to comply with applicable foreign law or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Committee may also impose conditions on the exercise or vesting of Awards in order to minimize the Corporation's obligations with respect to tax equalization for participants on assignments outside their home country.

SECTION 15. Effective Date Of Plan

The Plan shall be effective as of March 11, 2003, the date it was approved by the Board (the "Effective Date"), subject to later approval by the Corporation's stockholders.
