-4-









 







employment with, or membership on a board of directors of, the Company and its Affiliates
terminates but such Participant continues to provide services to the Company and its Affiliates in
a non-employee director capacity or as an employee, as applicable, such change in status shall not
be deemed a Termination of Employment. A Participant employed by, or performing services for, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate or a division of the Company and its Affiliates shall be deemed to incur
a Termination of Employment if, as a result of a Disaffiliation, such Subsidiary, Affiliate, or
division ceases to be a Subsidiary, Affiliate or division, as the case may be, and the Participant
does not immediately thereafter become an employee of, or member of the board of directors of, the
Company or another Subsidiary or Affiliate. Temporary absences from employment because of illness,
vacation or leave of absence and transfers among the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates
shall not be considered Terminations of Employment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Separation
shall not constitute a Termination of Employment for purposes of any Adjusted Award.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Award that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred
compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, “Termination of Employment”
shall mean a “separation from service” as defined under Section 409A of the Code.



Section 2. Administration




     (a) Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board or such other committee of the Board as the Board may from time to time designate (the
“Committee”), which shall be composed of not less than two directors, and shall be
appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Committee shall, subject to Section 11,
have plenary authority to grant Awards pursuant to the terms of the Plan to Eligible Individuals.
Among other things, the Committee shall have the authority, subject to the terms of the Plan and
the Employee Matters Agreement (including the original terms of the grant of the Adjusted Award):




     (i) to select the Eligible Individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be granted;




     (ii) to determine whether and to what extent Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified
Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, other
stock-based awards, or any combination thereof, are to be granted hereunder;

     (iv) to determine the terms and conditions of each Award granted hereunder, based on
such factors as the Committee shall determine;




     (v) subject to Section 12, to modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any

     (vi) to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices
governing the Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable;



-5-









 






     (vii) to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under the
Plan (and any agreement relating thereto);




     (viii) to establish any “blackout” period that the Committee in its sole discretion
deems necessary or advisable; and




     (ix) to otherwise administer the Plan.




     (b) Procedures.




     (i) The Committee may act only by a majority of its members then in office, except that
the Committee may, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the listing
standards of the Applicable Exchange and subject to Section 11, allocate all or any portion
of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or
any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it.




     (ii) Subject to Section 11(c), any authority granted to the Committee may also be
exercised by the full Board. To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board
conflicts with action taken by the Committee, the Board action shall control.



     (c) Discretion of Committee. Subject to Section 1(g), any determination made by the
Committee or by an appropriately delegated officer pursuant to delegated authority under the
provisions of the Plan with respect to any Award shall be made in the sole discretion of the
Committee or such delegate at the time of the grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any
express term of the Plan, at any time thereafter. All decisions made by the Committee or any
appropriately delegated officer pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding
on all persons, including the Company, Participants, and Eligible Individuals.



     (d) Award Agreements. The terms and conditions of each Award, as determined by the
Committee, shall be set forth in an Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant
receiving such Award upon, or as promptly as is reasonably practicable following, the grant of such
Award. The effectiveness of an Award shall not be subject to the Award Agreement’s being signed by
the Company and/or the Participant receiving the Award unless specifically so provided in the Award
Agreement. Award Agreements may be amended only in accordance with Section 12 hereof.



Section 3. Common Stock Subject to Plan




     (a) Plan Maximums. The maximum number of Shares that may be delivered pursuant to
Awards under the Plan shall be the sum of (a) the number of Shares that may be issuable upon
exercise or vesting of the Adjusted Awards and (b) 19,500,000. Shares subject to an Award under
the Plan may be authorized and unissued Shares or may be treasury Shares.



     (b) Individual Limits. No Participant may be granted Awards covering in excess of
8,000,000 Shares during the term of the Plan; provided, that Adjusted Awards shall not be
subject to this limitation.

     (c) Rules for Calculating Shares Delivered.




     (i) With respect to Awards other than Adjusted Awards, to the extent that any Award is
forfeited, or any Option and the related Tandem SAR (if any) or Free-Standing SAR
terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, or any Award is settled for cash, the
Shares subject to such Awards not delivered as a result thereof shall again be available for
Awards under the Plan.




     (ii) With respect to Awards other than Adjusted Awards, if the exercise price of any
Option and/or the tax withholding obligations relating to any Award are satisfied by
delivering Shares to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), only the
number of Shares issued net of the Shares delivered or attested to shall be deemed delivered
for purposes of the limits set forth in Section 3(a). To the extent any Shares subject to
an Award are withheld to satisfy the exercise price (in the case of an Option) and/or the
tax withholding obligations relating to such Award, such Shares shall not be deemed to have
been delivered for purposes of the limits set forth in Section 3(a).



     (d) Adjustment Provision. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(e), in the event of
(i) a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, or recapitalization or
similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company (each, a “Share Change”), or
(ii) a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, separation, spinoff,
reorganization, stock rights offering, liquidation, Disaffiliation, payment of cash dividends other
than an ordinary dividend or similar event affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each,
a “Corporate Transaction”), the Committee or the Board may in its discretion make such
substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to (A) the aggregate number and
kind of Shares or other securities reserved for issuance and delivery under the Plan, (B) the
various maximum limitations set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) upon Awards and upon the grants to
individuals of Awards, (C) the number and kind of Shares or other securities subject to outstanding
Awards; and (D) the exercise price of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. In the
case of Corporate Transactions, such adjustments may include, without limitation, (1) the
cancellation of outstanding Awards in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination
thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Awards, as determined by the Committee
or the Board in its sole discretion (it being understood that in the case of a Corporate
Transaction with respect to which shareholders of Common Stock receive consideration other than
publicly traded equity securities of the ultimate surviving entity, any such determination by the
Committee that the value of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall for this purpose be deemed
to equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration being paid for each Share pursuant
to such Corporate Transaction over the exercise price of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right
shall conclusively be deemed valid); (2) the substitution of other property (including, without
limitation, cash or other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the
Company) for the Shares subject to outstanding Awards; and (3) in connection with any
Disaffiliation, arranging for the assumption of Awards, or replacement of Awards with new awards
based on other property or other securities (including, without limitation, other securities of the
Company and securities of entities other than the Company), by the affected Subsidiary, Affiliate,
or division or by the entity that controls such Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division following such
Disaffiliation (as well as any corresponding



-7-









 







adjustments to Awards that remain based upon Company securities). Any adjustment under this
Section 3(d) need not be the same for all Participants.



     (e) Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) any adjustments made pursuant
to Section 3(d) to Awards that are considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section
409A of the Code shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code;
(ii) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 3(d) to Awards that are not considered “deferred
compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that
after such adjustment, the Awards either (A) continue not to be subject to Section 409A of the Code
or (B) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and (iii) in any event, neither
the Committee nor the Board shall have the authority to make any adjustments pursuant to Section
3(d) to the extent the existence of such authority would cause an Award that is not intended to be
subject to Section 409A of the Code at the Grant Date to be subject thereto.



Section 4. Eligibility




     Awards may be granted under the Plan to Eligible Individuals and, with respect to Adjusted
Awards, in accordance with the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement; provided,
however, that Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries or parent corporation (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code) and, with
respect to Adjusted Awards that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the
meaning of Section 421 of the Code, in accordance with the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement.



Section 5. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights




     With respect to Adjusted Awards, the provisions below will be applicable only to the extent
that they are not inconsistent with the Employee Matters Agreement and the terms of the Adjusted
Award assumed under the Employee Matters Agreement:



     (a) Types of Options. Options may be of two types: Incentive Stock Options and
Nonqualified Options. The Award Agreement for an Option shall indicate whether the Option is
intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Option.



     (b) Types and Nature of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be
“Tandem SARs,” which are granted in conjunction with an Option, or “Free-Standing SARs,” which are
not granted in conjunction with an Option. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the
Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, Shares, or both, in value equal to the
product of (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Share over the exercise price of the
applicable Stock Appreciation Right, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares in respect of which
the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify
whether such payment is to be made in cash or Common Stock or both, or shall reserve to the
Committee or the Participant the right to make that determination prior to or upon the exercise of
the Stock Appreciation Right.



     (c) Tandem SARs. A Tandem SAR may be granted at the Grant Date of the related Option.
A Tandem SAR shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the



-8-









 







related Option is exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, and shall
have the same exercise price as the related Option. A Tandem SAR shall terminate or be forfeited
upon the exercise or forfeiture of the related Option, and the related Option shall terminate or be
forfeited upon the exercise or forfeiture of the Tandem SAR.



     (d) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share subject to an Option or
Free-Standing SAR shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award
Agreement, and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the
applicable Grant Date. In no event may any Option or Free-Standing SAR granted under this Plan be
amended, other than pursuant to Section 3(d), to decrease the exercise price thereof or otherwise
be subject to any action that would be treated, for accounting purposes, as a “repricing” of such
Option or Free-Standing SAR, unless such amendment, cancellation, or action is approved by the
Company’s stockholders.



     (e) Term. The Term of each Option and each Free-Standing SAR shall be fixed by the
Committee, but shall not exceed ten years from the Grant Date in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option.



     (f) Vesting and Exercisability. Except as otherwise provided herein, Options and
Free-Standing SARs 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 Option or
Free-Standing SAR will become 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
Option or Free-Standing SAR.



     (g) Method of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, Options and
Free-Standing SARs may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the applicable Term by
giving written notice of exercise to the Company or through the procedures established with the
Company’s appointed third-party Option administrator specifying the number of Shares as to which
the Option or Free-Standing SAR is being exercised; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise permitted by the Committee, any such exercise must be with respect to a portion of the
applicable Option or Free-Standing SAR relating to no less than the lesser of the number of Shares
then subject to such Option or Free-Standing SAR or 100 Shares. In the case of the exercise of an
Option, such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price (which shall
equal the product of such number of Shares multiplied by the applicable exercise price) by
certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company may accept. If approved by the
Committee, payment, in full or in part, may also be made as follows:




     (i) Payments may be made in the form of unrestricted Shares (by delivery of such Shares
or by attestation) of the same class as the Common Stock subject to the Option already owned
by the Participant (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the
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 the same
class as the Common Stock subject to the Option may be authorized only at the time the
Option is granted.



-9-









 






     (ii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, payment may be made by delivering a
properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable
instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan
proceeds necessary to pay the purchase price, and, if requested, the amount of any federal,
state, local or foreign withholding taxes. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, enter into agreements for coordinated procedures
with one or more brokerage firms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee
may also provide for Company loans to be made for purposes of the exercise of Options.




     (iii) Payment may be made by instructing the Committee to withhold a number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date
the applicable Option is exercised) equal to the product of (A) the exercise price
multiplied by (B) the number of Shares in respect of which the Option shall have been
exercised.



     (h) Delivery; Rights of Stockholders. No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to the
exercise of an Option until the exercise price therefor has been fully paid and applicable taxes
have been withheld. The applicable Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of
the Company holding the class or series of Common Stock that is subject to the Option or Stock
Appreciation Right (including, if applicable, the right to vote the applicable Shares and the right
to receive dividends), when the Participant (i) has given written notice of exercise, (ii) if
requested, has given the representation described in Section 14(a), and (iii) in the case of an
Option, has paid in full for such Shares.



     (i) Terminations of Employment. Subject to Section 10(c), a Participant’s Options and
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be forfeited upon such Participant’s Termination of Employment,
except as set forth below:




     (i) Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by reason of death, any Option or
Stock Appreciation Right held by the Participant that was exercisable immediately before the
Termination of Employment may be exercised at any time until the earlier of (A) the first
anniversary of the date of such death and (B) the expiration of the Term thereof;




     (ii) Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by reason of Disability or
Retirement, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by the Participant that was
exercisable immediately before the Termination of Employment may be exercised at any time
until the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of such Termination of Employment and (B) the
expiration of the Term thereof;




     (iii) Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment for Cause, any Option or Stock
Appreciation Right held by the Participant shall be forfeited, effective as of such
Termination of Employment;




     (iv) Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason other than death,
Disability, Retirement or for Cause, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right



-10-









 







held by the Participant that was exercisable immediately before the Termination of
Employment may be exercised at any time until the earlier of (A) the 90th day following such
Termination of Employment and (B) expiration of the Term thereof; and




     (v) Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 5(i), if a Participant dies
after such Participant’s Termination of Employment but while any Option or Stock
Appreciation Right remains exercisable as set forth above, such Option or Stock Appreciation
Right may be exercised at any time until the later of (A) the earlier of (1) the first
anniversary of the date of such death and (2) expiration of the Term thereof and (B) the
last date on which such Option or Stock Appreciation Right would have been exercisable,
absent this Section 5(i)(v).



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the power, in its discretion, to apply
different rules concerning the consequences of a Termination of Employment; provided,
however, that if such rules are less favorable to the Participant than those set forth
above, such rules are set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 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 Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Option.



     (j) Nontransferability of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. No Option or
Free-Standing SAR shall be transferable by a Participant other than (i) by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution, or (ii) in the case of a Nonqualified Option or Free-Standing SAR,
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or as otherwise expressly permitted by the
Committee including, if so permitted, pursuant to a transfer to the Participant’s family members or
to a charitable organization, whether directly or indirectly or by means of a trust or partnership
or otherwise. For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, “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, and any successor thereto. A Tandem SAR shall be
transferable only with the related Option as permitted by the preceding sentence. Any Option or
Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable, subject to the terms of this Plan, only by the
applicable Participant, the guardian or legal representative of such Participant, or any person to
whom such Option or Stock Appreciation Right is permissibly transferred pursuant to this Section
5(j), it being understood that the term “Participant” includes such guardian, legal representative
and other transferee; provided, however, that the term “Termination of Employment”
shall continue to refer to the Termination of Employment of the original Participant.



Section 6. Restricted Stock




     With respect to Adjusted Awards, the provisions below will be applicable only to the extent
that they are not inconsistent with the Employee Matters Agreement and the terms of the Adjusted
Award assumed under the Employee Matters Agreement:



     (a) Nature of Awards and Certificates. Shares of Restricted Stock are actual Shares
issued to a Participant, and 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 the



-11-









 







applicable 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] Expedia, Inc. 2005 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan
and an Award Agreement. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at
the offices of Expedia, Inc.”



     The Committee may require that the certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by
the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that, as a condition of any Award
of Restricted Stock, the applicable Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in
blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such Award.



     (b) Terms and Conditions. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions:




     (i) The Committee may, prior to or at the time of grant, designate an Award of
Restricted Stock as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, in which event it shall condition
the grant or vesting, as applicable, of such Restricted Stock upon the attainment of
Performance Goals. If the Committee does not designate an Award of Restricted Stock as a
Qualified Performance-Based Award, it may also condition the grant or vesting thereof upon
the attainment of Performance Goals. Regardless of whether an Award of Restricted Stock is
a Qualified Performance-Based Award, the Committee may also condition the grant or vesting
thereof upon the continued service of the Participant. The conditions for grant or vesting
and the other provisions of Restricted Stock Awards (including without limitation any
applicable Performance Goals) need not be the same with respect to each recipient. Subject
to Section 11(b), the Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, accelerate or
waive, in whole or in part, any of the foregoing restrictions.




     (ii) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, during
the period, if any, set by the Committee, commencing with the date of such Restricted Stock
Award for which such Participant’s continued service is required (the “Restriction
Period”), and until the later of (A) the expiration of the Restriction Period and (B)
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.




     (iii) Except as provided in this Section 6 and in the applicable Award Agreement, the
applicable Participant shall have, with respect to the Shares of Restricted Stock, all of
the rights of a stockholder of the Company 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 Award Agreement and subject to Section 14(e), (A) 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



-12-









 







Stock, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Stock, and (B) subject
to any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(d), 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.




     (iv) Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, upon a
Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason during the Restriction Period or
before the applicable Performance Goals are satisfied, all Shares of Restricted Stock still
subject to restriction shall be forfeited by such Participant; provided,
however, that subject to Section 11(b), the Committee shall have the discretion to
waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining restrictions with respect to any or all of
such Participant’s Shares of Restricted Stock.




     (v) If and when any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied and the Restriction
Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Shares of Restricted Stock for which
legended certificates have been issued, unlegended certificates for such Shares shall be
delivered to the Participant upon surrender of the legended certificates.



Section 7. Restricted Stock Units




     With respect to Adjusted Awards, the provisions below will be applicable only to the extent
that they are not inconsistent with the Employee Matters Agreement and the terms of the Adjusted
Award assumed under the Employee Matters Agreement:



     (a) Nature of Award. Restricted Stock Units are Awards denominated in Shares that
will be settled, subject to the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units, either by
delivery of Shares to the Participant or by the payment of cash based upon the Fair Market Value of
a specified number of Shares.



     (b) Terms and Conditions. Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions:




     (i) The Committee may, in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units,
designate them as Qualified Performance-Based Awards, in which event it shall condition the
grant or vesting thereof upon the attainment of Performance Goals. If the Committee does
not designate Restricted Stock Units as Qualified Performance-Based Awards, it may also
condition the grant or vesting thereof upon the attainment of Performance Goals. Regardless
of whether Restricted Stock Units are Qualified Performance-Based Awards, the Committee may
also condition the vesting thereof upon the continued service of the Participant. The
conditions for grant or vesting and the other provisions of Restricted Stock Awards
(including without limitation any applicable Performance Goals) need not be the same with
respect to each recipient. Subject to Section 11(b), the Committee may at any time, in its
sole discretion, accelerate or waive, in whole or in part, any of the foregoing
restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(b)(iv) or in the applicable Award
Agreement, an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be settled if and when the Restricted
Stock Units vest.



-13-









 






     (ii) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, during
the period, if any, set by the Committee, commencing with the date of such Restricted Stock
Units Award for which such Participant’s continued service is required (the “Restriction
Period”), and until the later of (A) the expiration of the Restriction Period and (B)
the date the applicable Performance Goals (if any) are satisfied, the Participant shall not
be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber Restricted Stock Units.




     (iii) The Award Agreement for Restricted Stock Units shall specify whether, to what
extent and on what terms and conditions the applicable Participant shall be entitled to
receive current or deferred payments of cash, Common Stock or other property corresponding
to the dividends payable on the Common Stock (subject to Section 14(e) below).




     (iv) Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, upon a
Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason during the Restriction Period or
before the applicable Performance Goals are satisfied, all Restricted Stock Units still
subject to restriction shall be forfeited by such Participant; provided,
however, that subject to Section 11(b), the Committee shall have the discretion to
waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining restrictions with respect to any or all of
such Participant’s Restricted Stock Units; provided, further,
however, that in the event of such waiver, if any of such Participant’s Restricted
Stock Units constitute a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code, unless otherwise provided in an award agreement and in a manner
that is compliant with Section 409A of the Code, settlement of such Restricted Stock Units
shall not occur until the earliest of (A) the date such Restricted Stock Units would
otherwise be settled pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement or (B) the Participant’s
“separation of service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.



Section 8. Other Stock-Based Awards




     Other Awards of Common Stock and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference
to, or are otherwise based upon or settled in, Common Stock, including (without limitation),
unrestricted stock, performance units, dividend equivalents, and convertible debentures, may be
granted under the Plan.



Section 9. Bonus Awards




     (a) Determination of Awards. The Committee shall determine the total amount of Bonus
Awards for each Plan Year or such shorter performance period as the Committee may establish in its
sole discretion. Prior to the beginning of the Plan Year or such shorter performance period as the
Committee may establish in its sole discretion (or such later date as may be prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall establish
Performance Goals for Bonus Awards for the Plan Year or such shorter period; provided, that
such Performance Goals may be established at a later date for Participants who are not “covered
employees” (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code). Bonus amounts payable to any
individual Participant with respect to a Plan Year will be



-14-









 







limited to a maximum of $10 million. For performance periods that are shorter than a Plan
Year, such $10 million maximum may be pro-rated to the extent provided by the Committee.



     (b) Payment of Awards. Bonus Awards under the Plan shall be paid in cash or in shares
of Common Stock (valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of payment) as determined by the
Committee, as soon as practicable following the close of the Plan Year or such shorter performance
period as the Committee may establish. It is intended that a Bonus Award will be paid no later
than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third month following the later of: (i) the end of
the Participant’s taxable year in which the requirements for such Bonus Award have been satisfied
by the Participant or (ii) the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which the requirements for such
Bonus Award have been satisfied by the Participant. To the extent provided by the Executive
Committee of the Board, 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 approval of
the Executive Committee of the Board and the terms of the Expedia, Inc. Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan (or any successor plan that complies with Section 409A of the Code). The Bonus
Award for any Plan Year or such shorter performance period to any Participant may be reduced or
eliminated by the Committee in its discretion.



Section 10. Change in Control Provisions




     (a) Impact of Event/Single Trigger. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award
Agreement, subject Sections 3(d), 3(e), 10(e) and 14(k), and with respect to Adjusted Awards only,
to the extent specified in an Award Agreement or the applicable IAC Long Term Incentive Plan (it
being understood that any reference in a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar
definition of an Award Agreement or the applicable IAC Long Term Incentive Plan for any such
Adjusted Award shall be deemed to refer to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar
transaction with respect to the Company (as successor to the originally-referenced entity) for such
Adjusted Award assumed hereunder), notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary,
immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, with respect to Awards held by officers of
the Company (and not the Company’s Subsidiaries) with a title of Senior Vice President or above as
of immediately prior to the Change in Control, and with respect to all other Participants solely to
the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement:




     (i) any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding which are not then
exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable and vested;




     (ii) the restrictions applicable to any Restricted Stock shall lapse, and such
Restricted Stock shall become free of all restrictions and become fully vested and
transferable;




     (iii) all Restricted Stock Units shall be considered to be earned and payable in full,
and any restrictions shall lapse and such Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as
promptly as is practicable in the form set forth in the applicable Award Agreement;
provided, however, that with respect to any Restricted Stock Unit that constitutes a
“nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code,
unless otherwise provided in an award agreement and in a manner that is compliant



-15-









 







with Section 409A of the Code, the settlement of each such Restricted Stock Unit
pursuant to this Section 10(a)(iii) shall not occur until the earliest of (A) the Change in
Control if such Change in Control constitutes a “change in the ownership of the
corporation,” a “change in effective control of the corporation” or a “change in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation,” within the meaning of
Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, (B) the date such Restricted Stock Units would
otherwise be settled pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement and (C) the Participant’s
“separation of service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.



     (b) Definition of Change in Control. Except as otherwise may be provided in an
applicable Award Agreement, for purposes of the Plan, a “Change in Control” shall mean 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 Company representing more than 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding equity
securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the
“Outstanding Company 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 Company, (B) any acquisition by any employee
benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation
controlled by the Company, 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 Company’s
stockholders, 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 Company 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 Company 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



-16-









 







owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’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 Company Voting Securities,
(B) no Person (excluding Barry Diller, Liberty Media Corporation, and their respective
Affiliates, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company 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 Company 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 Company of a complete liquidation or
dissolution of the Company.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Separation shall not constitute a Change in Control.



     (c) Impact of Event/Double Trigger. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award
Agreement, subject to Sections 3(d), 3(e), 10(e) and 14(k), and with respect to Adjusted Awards
only, to the extent specified in an Award Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan to the contrary, upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment, during the two-year period
following a Change in Control, by the Company other than for Cause or Disability or by the
Participant for Good Reason (as defined below):




     (i) any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of such Termination of
Employment which were outstanding as of the date of such Change in Control (including any
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that became vested pursuant to Section 10(a)) shall be
fully exercisable and vested and shall remain exercisable until the later of (i) the last
date on which such Option or Stock Appreciation Right would be exercisable in the absence of
this Section 10(c) and (ii) the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of such Change in
Control and (B) expiration of the Term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right;




     (ii) the restrictions applicable to any Restricted Stock shall lapse, and such
Restricted Stock outstanding as of such Termination of Employment which were outstanding as
of the date of such Change in Control shall become free of all restrictions and become fully
vested and transferable; and




     (iii) all Restricted Stock Units outstanding as of such Termination of Employment which
were outstanding as of the date of such Change in Control shall be considered to be earned
and payable in full, and any restrictions shall lapse and such Restricted Stock Units shall
be settled as promptly as is practicable in (subject to Section 3(d)) the form set forth in
the applicable Award Agreement.



-17-









 





     (d) For purposes of this Section 10, “Good Reason” means (i) “Good Reason” as defined in any
Individual Agreement or Award Agreement to which the applicable Participant is a party, or (ii) if
there is no such Individual Agreement or if it does not define Good Reason, without the
Participant’s prior written consent: (A) a material reduction in the Participant’s rate of annual
base salary from the rate of annual base salary in effect for such Participant immediately prior to
the Change in Control, (B) a relocation of the Participant’s principal place of business more than
35 miles from the city in which such Participant’s principal place of business was located
immediately prior to the Change in Control or (C) a material and demonstrable adverse change in the
nature and scope of the Participant’s duties from those in effect immediately prior to the Change
in Control. In order to invoke a Termination of Employment for Good Reason, a Participant shall
provide written notice to the Company of the existence of one or more of the conditions described
in clauses (A) through (C) within 90 days following the Participant’s knowledge of the initial
existence of such condition or conditions, and the Company shall have 30 days following receipt of
such written notice (the “Cure Period”) during which it may remedy the condition. In the event
that the Company fails to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason during the Cure Period, the
Participant must terminate employment, if at all, within 90 days following the Cure Period in order
for such Termination of Employment to constitute a Termination of Employment for Good Reason.



     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, this
Section 10 shall be applicable only to the extent specifically provided in the Award Agreement or
in the Individual Agreement and as permitted pursuant to Section 14(k).



Section 11. Qualified Performance-Based Awards; Section 16(b)




     (a) The provisions of this Plan are intended to ensure that all Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights granted hereunder to any Participant who is or may be a “covered employee” (within the
meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code) in the tax year in which such Option or Stock
Appreciation Right is expected to be deductible to the Company qualify for the Section 162(m)
Exemption, and all such Awards shall therefore be considered Qualified Performance-Based Awards and
this Plan shall be interpreted and operated consistent with that intention (including, without
limitation, to require that all such Awards be granted by a committee composed solely of members
who satisfy the requirements for being “outside directors” for purposes of the Section 162(m)
Exemption (“Outside Directors”)). When granting any Award other than an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, the Committee may designate such Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award,
based upon a determination that (i) the recipient is or may be a “covered employee” (within the
meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code) with respect to such Award, and (ii) the Committee wishes
such Award to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption, and the terms of any such Award (and of the
grant thereof) shall be consistent with such designation (including, without limitation, that all
such Awards be granted by a committee composed solely of Outside Directors).



     (b) Each Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right)
shall be earned, vested and payable (as applicable) only upon the achievement of one or more
Performance Goals, together with the satisfaction of any other conditions, such as continued
employment, as the Committee may determine to be appropriate, and no Qualified Performance-Based
Award may be amended, nor may the Committee exercise



-18-









 







any discretionary authority it may otherwise have under this Plan with respect to a Qualified
Performance-Based Award under this Plan, in any manner that would cause the Qualified
Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption; provided,
however, that (i) the Committee may provide, either in connection with the grant of the
applicable Award or by amendment thereafter, that achievement of such Performance Goals will be
waived upon the death or Disability of the Participant or under any other circumstance with respect
to which the existence of such possible waiver will not cause the Award to fail to qualify for the
Section 162(m) Exemption as of the Grant Date, and (ii) the provisions of Section 10 shall apply
notwithstanding this Section 11(b).



     (c) The full Board shall not be permitted to exercise authority granted to the Committee to
the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would 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.



     (d) The provisions of this Plan are intended to ensure that no transaction under the Plan is
subject to (and all such transactions will be exempt from) the short-swing recovery rules of
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (“Section 16(b)”). Accordingly, the composition of the
Committee shall be subject to such limitations as the Board deems appropriate to permit
transactions pursuant to this Plan to be exempt (pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act) from Section 16(b), and no delegation of authority by the Committee shall be
permitted if such delegation would cause any such transaction to be subject to (and not exempt
from) Section 16(b).



Section 12. Term, Amendment and Termination




     (a) Effectiveness. The Plan shall be effective as of the date (the “Effective
Date”) it is adopted by the Board, subject to the approval by the holders of at least a
majority of the voting power represented by outstanding capital stock of the Company that is
entitled generally to vote in the election of directors.



     (b) Termination. The Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective
Date. Awards outstanding as of such date shall not be affected or impaired by the termination of
the Plan.



     (c) Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no
amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would materially impair the rights of
the Participant with respect to a previously granted Award without such Participant’s consent,
except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law (including without limitation Section
409A of the Code), stock exchange rules or accounting rules. In addition, no such amendment shall
be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required
by applicable law or the listing standards of the Applicable Exchange.



     (d) Amendment of Awards. Subject to Section 5(d), the Committee may unilaterally
amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such
amendment shall (i) cause a Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section
162(m) Exemption or (ii) without the Participant’s consent, materially impair the rights



-19-









 







of any Participant with respect to an Award, except such an amendment made to cause the Plan
or Award to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.



Section 13. Unfunded Status of Plan




     It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and
deferred compensation. Solely to the extent permitted under Section 409A, 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 the existence of such trusts
or other arrangements is consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that constitutes a
“nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, no trust
shall be funded with respect to any such Award if such funding would result in taxable income to
the Participant by reason of Section 409A(b) of the Code and in no event shall any such trust
assets at any time be located or transferred outside of the United States, within the meaning of
Section 409A(b) of the Code.



Section 14. General Provisions




     (a) Conditions for Issuance. The Committee may require each person purchasing or
receiving Shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company 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 Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or
certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:
(i) listing or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such Shares on the Applicable
Exchange; (ii) any registration or other qualification of such Shares of the Company 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 (iii) 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) Additional Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent
the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation
arrangements for its employees.



     (c) No Contract of Employment. The Plan shall not constitute a contract of
employment, and 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 Company or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.



     (d) Required Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes
includible in the gross income of a Participant for federal, state, local or foreign income or
employment or other tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, such Participant shall
pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the



-20-









 







payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to such amount. If determined by the Company, 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 Company under the Plan shall be conditional on
such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by
law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to such 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) Limitation on Dividend Reinvestment and Dividend Equivalents. Reinvestment of
dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of any dividend payment, and the payment of
Shares with respect to dividends to Participants holding Awards of Restricted Stock Units, shall
only be permissible if sufficient Shares are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment or
payment (taking into account then outstanding Awards). In the event that sufficient Shares are not
available for such reinvestment or payment, such reinvestment or payment shall be made in the form
of a grant of Restricted Stock Units equal in number to the Shares that would have been obtained by
such payment or reinvestment, the terms of which Restricted Stock Units shall provide for
settlement in cash and for dividend equivalent reinvestment in further Restricted Stock Units on
the terms contemplated by this Section 14(e).



     (f) Designation of Death Beneficiary. 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 such Participant’s death are to be paid or by whom any rights of such eligible
Individual, after such Participant’s death, may be exercised.



     (g) Subsidiary Employees. In the case of a grant of an Award to any employee of a
Subsidiary of the Company, the Company may, if the Committee so directs, issue or transfer the
Shares, if any, covered by the Award to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the
Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the
Shares to the employee in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. All Shares underlying Awards that are forfeited or
canceled should revert to the Company.



     (h) Governing Law and Interpretation. 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. The captions of this Plan are not part of the
provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.



     (i) Non-Transferability. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(j) or by the
Committee, Awards under the Plan are not transferable except by will or by laws of descent and
distribution.



     (j) Foreign Employees and Foreign Law Considerations. The Committee may grant Awards
to Eligible Individuals who are foreign nationals, who are located outside the United States or who
are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to
(or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions



-21-









 







of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, on such terms and conditions
different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary
or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of
such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, or subplans as
may be necessary or advisable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.



     (k) Section 409A of the Code. It is the intention of the Company that no Award shall
be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, unless and to the extent that the
Committee specifically determines otherwise as provided in this Section 14(k), and the Plan and the
terms and conditions of all Awards shall be interpreted accordingly. The terms and conditions
governing any Awards that the Committee determines will be subject to Section 409A of the Code,
including any rules for elective or mandatory deferral of the delivery of cash or Shares pursuant
thereto and any rules regarding treatment of such Awards in the event of a Change in Control, shall
be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, and shall comply in all respects with Section 409A
of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any
Award that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” subject to Section 409A of the
Code, any payments (whether in cash, Shares or other property) to be made with respect to the Award
