such Shares are used to satisfy an applicable tax-withholding obligation, such
Shares shall not be deemed to have been issued for purposes of determining the
maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

     4.  Administration of the Plan.
         --------------------------

         (a)  Procedure - in General. The Plan shall be administered by (i) the
Committee, which shall be comprised of not less than two directors appointed by
the Board, each of whom is intended to be a "non-employee director" (within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3) and an "outside director" (within the meaning of Code
Section 162(m) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) to the
extent that Rule 16b-3 and Code Section 162(m), respectively, are applicable to
the Company and to Options, Stock Purchase Rights, Restricted Stock and Warrants
granted under the Plan; or (ii) the Board.

         (b)  Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the
Plan, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

<PAGE>

          however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, grants
          to Consultants shall be made solely by the Board, subject to its
          authority to delegate pursuant to Section 4(c);

                    (iv)   to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to
          be covered by each Option, Restricted Stock award, Stock Purchase
          Right and Warrant granted hereunder;

                    (v)    to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

                    (vi)   to determine the terms and conditions (which need not
          be the same with respect to each Grantee), not inconsistent with the
          terms of the Plan, of any Option, Restricted Stock award or Stock
          Purchase Right granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include,
          but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when
          Options or Stock Purchase Rights may be exercised (which may be based
          on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of
          forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding
          any Option, grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Purchase Right or the
          shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such
          factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

                    (vii)  to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
          awards granted pursuant to the Plan and interpret, administer,
          reconcile any inconsistency, correct any default and/or supply any
          omission in the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to any
          Option, Restricted Stock award, Stock Purchase Right or Warrant
          granted under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may not
          adjust upwards the amount payable with respect to a Qualified
          Performance-Based Award or alter the Performance Goals associated
          therewith;

                    (viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
          relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to
          sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax
          treatment under foreign tax laws;

                    (ix)   to modify or amend each Option, Restricted Stock
          grant, Stock Purchase Right or Warrant (subject to Section 17(c) of
          the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the
          post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is
          otherwise provided for in the Plan;

                    (x)    to allow Optionees and Grantees to satisfy
          withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold
          from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, Warrant or
          Stock Purchase Right or lapsing of restrictions on Restricted Stock
          that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount
          required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be
          withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be
          withheld is to be determined. All elections by an Optionee or a
          Grantee to have

<PAGE>

         Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under
         such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;

                  (xi)  to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the
         Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option,
         Restricted Stock, Stock Purchase Right or Warrant previously granted by
         the Administrator; and

                  (xii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
         advisable for administering the Plan.

            (c)   Effect of Administrator's Decision. The Administrator's
decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final, binding and
conclusive on all Optionees and Grantees, and all other persons having an
interest herein. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or
determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any award
hereunder.

         The Administrator may act only by a majority of its members then in
office, except that the Administrator may, except to the extent prohibited by
applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, 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; 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 such allocation or delegation may be revoked by
the Administrator at any time.

         5. Eligibility. Non-statutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Stock
            -----------
Purchase Rights and Warrants may be granted to all Service Providers. Warrants
may only be granted pursuant to the specific provisions of Section 13 of the
Plan.

         Except as may specifically be provided by the Administrator from time
to time, in order to receive a grant of Options, Restricted Stock or Stock
Purchase Rights under the Plan, a Service Provider must agree not to (a) solicit
employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (b) compete with the
Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and (c) reveal confidential
information of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The terms,
conditions, and provisions relating to these non-solicitation, non-competition
and confidentiality provisions shall be determined by the Administrator.

         6. Limitations.
            -----------

            (a)   Each Option granted under the Plan shall be designated in the
Option Agreement as a Non-statutory Stock Option.

            (b)   The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options and
Qualified Performance-Based Awards:

<PAGE>

                  (i)   No Service Provider shall be granted, more than
         2,000,0000 Options or more than 2,000,000 Qualified Performance-Based
         Awards during any calendar year. No Non-Employee Director shall be
         granted more than 15,000 Options with respect to such Non-Employee
         Director's first calendar year as a Non-Employee Director and no
         Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than 10,000 Options with
         respect to any calendar year thereafter.

                  (ii)  The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted
         proportionately in connection with any change in the Company's
         capitalization as described in Section 15.

                  (iii) If an Option is canceled in the same fiscal year of the
         Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a
         transaction described in Section 15), the canceled Option will be
         counted against the limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above.
         For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the
         transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the
         grant of a new Option.

         7. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 21 of the Plan, the Plan shall
            ------------
become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for
a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 17 of the Plan.

         8. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the
            --------------
Option Agreement.

         9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
            ---------------------------------------

            (a)   Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to
be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the
Administrator. In the case of a Non-statutory Stock Option intended to qualify
as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the
Code, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may
be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a merger or other corporate
transaction.

            (b)   Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is
granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be
exercised and shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the
Option may be exercised.

            (c)   Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the
acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method
of payment. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of
consideration at the time of grant or the agreement. Such consideration may
consist entirely of:

                  (i)   cash;

                  (ii)  check;

<PAGE>

                            (iii) promissory note;

                            (iv)  other than as provided in subsection (v),
               other Shares (by delivery or attestation) which (A) in the case
               of Shares acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by
               the Optionee for more than six months on the date of delivery (or
               attestation) or which were acquired in the open market, and (B)
               have a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery (or attestation)
               equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which
               said Option shall be exercised;

                            (v)   consideration received by the Company under
               the cashless exercise program that is implemented by the Company
               from time to time in connection with the Plan;

                            (vi)  any combination of the foregoing methods of
               payment; or

                            (vii) such other consideration and method of payment
               for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable
               Laws.

               10.  Exercise of Option.
                    ------------------

                    (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any
Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan
and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator
and set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides
otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any
unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a
Share.

               An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives:
(i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if
requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse.
Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist
with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.
The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as
provided in Section 15 of the Plan.

               Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of
Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under
the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised, except
as otherwise provided in Section 3 of the Plan.

                    (b) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If
an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee's
death or Disability, the Optionee

<PAGE>

may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in
the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time
in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three months
following the Optionee's termination, unless such termination is for Cause, in
which case the Option will immediately terminate and expire. If, on the date of
termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the
Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.
If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within
the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the
Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

        (c)    Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise his
or her Option, but only to the extent that the Option would have otherwise
vested had the Optionee remained a Service Provider for a period of twelve (12)
months after the date on which the Service Provider ceased to be a Service
Provider as a result of the Disability. Such exercise must occur within eighteen
(18) months (or such shorter time as is specified in the Option Agreement) from
the date on which the Service Provider ceased to be a Service Provider as a
result of the Disability (but in no event later than the date of expiration of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If, after
termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such
Option shall revert to the Plan.

        (d)    Death of Optionee.  In the event of the death of an Optionee:

               (i)      who is at the time of death a Service Provider, the
     Option may be exercised, at any time within twelve (12) months following
     the date of death (but in no event later than the date of expiration of the
     term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the
     Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the
     option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option
     would have otherwise vested had the Optionee continued living and continued
     to be a Service Provider twelve (12) months after the date of death; or

               (ii)     who is at the time of death not a Service Provider but
     whose Option has not yet expired, the Option may be exercised, at any time
     within twelve (12) months following the date of death (but in no event
     later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth
     in the Option Agreement), by the Optionee's estate or by a person who
     acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but
     only to the extent that the Option would have otherwise vested at the date
     of termination.

        If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to
the Plan.

        (e)    Buyout Provisions.  The Administrator may at any time offer to
buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously granted based on
such terms and

<PAGE>

conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee
at the time that such offer is made

        11.    Stock Purchase Rights.
               ---------------------

               (a)      Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued
either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the
Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator
determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall
advise the offeree in writing or electronically, by means of a Notice of Grant,
of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the
number of Shares that the offeree shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be
paid, and the time within which the offeree must accept such offer. The offer
shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement in the
form determined by the Administrator.

               (b)      Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a
repurchase option exercisable upon the Grantee voluntary or involuntary ceasing
to be a Service Provider for any reason (including death or Disability). The
purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement shall be the original price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by
cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company. The repurchase
option shall lapse at a rate determined by the Administrator.

               (c)      Other Provisions.  The Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not
inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole
discretion.

               (d)      Rights as a Stockholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right
is exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a
stockholder, and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon
the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment
will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to
the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 15
of the Plan.

        12.    Restricted Stock.
               ----------------

               (a)      Administration. Shares of Restricted Stock may be
awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The
Administrator shall determine the Service Providers 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 Service Providers, 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 12(c).

               (b)      Awards and Certificates. Shares of Restricted Stock
shall be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator 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:

<PAGE>

       "The transferability of this certificate and the shares of Common Stock
       represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including
       forfeiture) of the Expedia, Inc. 2001 Stock Plan and a Restricted Stock
       Agreement. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the offices
       of Expedia, Inc., 13810 SE Eastegate Way, Suite 400, Bellevue, WA 98005."

The Administrator 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 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)   The Administrator may, prior to or at the time of
       grant, designate an award of Restricted Stock as a Qualified
       Performance-Based Award, in which event the Administrator shall condition
       the grant or vesting, as applicable, of such Restricted Stock upon the
       attainment of Performance Goals. If the Administrator 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 Administrator may also condition
       the grant or vesting thereof upon the continued service of the Grantee.
       The conditions for grant or vesting and the other provisions of
       Restricted Stock grants (including without limitation any applicable
       Performance Goals) need not be the same with respect to each Grantee. The
       Administrator may at any time, in its sole discretion, accelerate or
       waive, in whole or in part, any of the foregoing restrictions; provided,
       however, that in the case of Restricted Stock that is a Qualified
       Performance-Based Award, the applicable Performance Goals have been
       satisfied.

                    (ii)  Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the
       Restricted Stock Agreement referred to in Section 12(c)(vi), during the
       period, if any, set by the Administrator, commencing with the date of
       such award for which such Grantee'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 Grantee shall not be permitted to sell, assign,
       transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber shares of Restricted Stock;
       provided that the foregoing shall not prevent a Grantee from pledging
       Restricted Stock as security for a loan, the sole purpose of which is to
       provide funds to pay the option price for Options.

                    (iii) Except as provided in this paragraph (iii) and
       Sections 12(c)(i) and 12(c)(ii) and the Restricted Stock Agreement, the
       Grantee 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

<PAGE>

       right to receive any cash dividends. If so determined by the
       Administrator in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, (A) cash or
       other 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, and (B) 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; provided that
       reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of
       any divided payment shall only be permissible if sufficient shares of
       Common Stock are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment.

               (iv)   Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable
       Restricted Stock Agreement or Section 12(c)(i), 12(c)(ii), 12(c)(v) or
       upon a Grantee ceasing to be a Service Provider 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 Grantee; provided, however, that the Administrator 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 Grantee is a "Covered Employee" within the meaning of Section
       162(m) of the Code, satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goals
       unless the Grantee's employment is terminated by reason of death or
       Disability) with respect to any or all of such Grantee's Shares of
       Restricted Stock.

               (v)    If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior
       forfeiture of the Restricted Stock (and any applicable Performance Goals
       are satisfied), 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.

       13.     Warrants.
               --------

       (a)     Prior to the listing of the Warrants on Nasdaq, the American
Stock Exchange or other exchange acceptable to the Company (as contemplated by
the Transaction Agreement), the Company shall, subject to applicable law,
distribute under the Plan (the "Distribution"), to holders of Old Options on the
date of the Distribution, 0.1920 Warrants with respect to each Share underlying
any such Old Option, whether or not then vested; provided, however, that,
subject to the following sentence, Warrants distributed in respect of unvested
Old Options shall be restricted and shall become exercisable and transferable
solely upon the vesting of such related Old Option.

       (b)     With respect to all Warrants, whether vested or unvested, for a
period of 90 days following the date of Distribution, (i) such Warrants shall
not be exercisable, and (ii) the

<PAGE>

Company shall instruct its transfer agent to place a stop transfer order on
certificates representing such Warrants. The Company shall terminate such stop
transfer order immediately upon expiration of such 90-day period.

                  (c)   The Warrants shall not terminate upon the termination of
employment of a holder of an Old Option and shall not be subject to the
restrictions in Section 14 hereof.

                  (d)   Except as specifically provided for in this Plan,
Warrants shall have the same terms and conditions as the Company Warrants
described in Section 8.12 of the Transaction Agreement.

                  14.   Non-Transferability of Options, Restricted Stock and
                        ----------------------------------------------------
Stock Purchase Rights. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an
---------------------
Option, a grant of Restricted Stock or a Stock Purchase Right may not be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other
than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised,
during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. However, an Option, a
grant of Restricted Stock or a Stock Purchase Right is transferable, in whole or
in part, by gift or, with the consent of the Administrator, for value, to
Immediate Family of the Optionee or Grantee, partnerships of which the only
partners are members of the Optionee's or Grantee's Immediate Family, and trusts
established solely for the benefit of the Optionee's or Grantee's Immediate
Family, provided such transferability shall be limited to vested rights.
Transfers to the Optionee's or Grantee's immediate family are subject to the
terms and conditions of this Plan and the terms and conditions of any relevant
agreement pursuant to which they were granted and shall not be permitted to
effect a cashless exercise. The Optionee's or Grantee's Immediate Family do not
have the right to further transfer those rights other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution. In addition, an Option, a grant of Restricted Stock
or a Stock Purchase Right shall also be transferable by the Optionee or Grantee,
in whole or in part, with the consent of the Administrator, to charitable
organizations, provided such transferability shall be limited to vested rights.
Transfers to charitable organizations shall also be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Plan and the terms and conditions of any relevant agreement
pursuant to which they were granted, and charitable organizations shall not be
permitted to effect a cashless exercise. In addition, such charitable
organizations shall not have the right to further transfer those rights. If the
Administrator makes an Option, grant of Restricted Stock or a Stock Purchase
Right transferable, such Option, grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Purchase
Right shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator
deems appropriate.

                  15.   Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution,
                        --------------------------------------------------------
 Merger or Asset Sale.
---------------------

                        (a)    Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any
required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of
Restricted Stock, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option and
Stock Purchase Right, the number or kind of Shares which have been authorized
for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options, Shares of Restricted
Stock or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or which have been returned
to the Plan upon cancellation, expiration or forfeiture of an Option, shares of
Restricted Stock or Stock Purchase Right, as well as the price per Share covered
by each such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the

<PAGE>

number or kind of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the
Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however,
that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed
to have been "effected without receipt of consideration;" provided further, that
the number of shares of Restricted Stock or Shares subject to an Option or Stock
Purchase Right shall always be a whole number. Such adjustment shall be made by
the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option,
shares of Restricted Stock or Stock Purchase Right.

                  (b)   Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to
have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such
transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as
to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the
Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option (as described in
Section 11(b) of the Plan) applicable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of
an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall lapse as to all such Shares and that all
restrictions with respect to any Restricted Stock shall lapse as to all such
Restricted Stock, provided that the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes
place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been
previously exercised, an Option or a Stock Purchase Right will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

                  (c)   Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the
Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of
the assets of the Company, all outstanding Options, shares of Restricted Stock
or Stock Purchase Rights shall be assumed or an equivalent option, share of
restricted stock or right shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a
Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. The number of Shares reserved
pursuant to Section 3 may be increased by the corresponding number of Options
assumed in connection with such a transaction and, in the case of a
substitution, by the net increase in the number of Shares subject to Options
before and after the substitution. In the event that the successor corporation
refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, Restricted Stock or Stock
Purchase Right, the Optionee or Grantee shall fully vest in and have the right
to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned Stock,
including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable,
and all restrictions on Restricted Stock shall lapse, as the case may be. If an
Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of
assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
Administrator shall notify the Optionee or Grantee in writing or electronically
that the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully vested and exercisable
for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option
or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For
the purposes of this paragraph, the Option, Stock Purchase Right or Restricted
Stock shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets,
the option, right or share of restricted stock confers the right to purchase or
receive, for each Share

<PAGE>

of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, Share granted
as Restricted Stock immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the
consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in
the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on
the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received
in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the
successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the
exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right for each Share of Optioned Stock
subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right or upon the lapse of the
restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock, respectively, to be solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market
value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the
merger or sale of assets.

         16.      Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option, a share of
                  -------------
Restricted Stock or a Stock Purchase Right shall be, for all purposes, the date
on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option,
Restricted Stock or Stock Purchase Right or such other later date as is
determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided
to each Optionee or Grantee within a reasonable time after the date of such
grant. The date of grant of a Warrant shall be the date of Distribution.

         17.      Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
                  -------------------------------------

                  (a)   Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time
amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan, provided that no such amendment,
alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without
shareholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or
regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan (including as necessary to prevent
Options, Stock Purchase Rights, Restricted Stock and Warrants granted under the
Plan from failing to qualify as "performance-based compensation" for purposes of
Section 162(m) of the Code); and provided further that any such amendment,
alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would impair the
rights of any Optionee or Grantee shall not to that extent be effective without
the consent of the affected Optionee, Grantee, holder or beneficiary.

                  (b)   Stockholder Approval.  The Company shall obtain
stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable
to comply with Applicable Laws.

                  (c)   Service Providers in Foreign Countries. The
Administrator shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures,
and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the
laws of foreign countries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries may operate
to assure the viability of the benefits from Options, Restricted Stock or Stock
Purchase Rights granted to Service Providers in such countries and to meet the
objectives of the Plan.

                  (d)   Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment,
alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any
Optionee or Grantee, unless

<PAGE>

mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee or Grantee and the Company, which
agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee or Grantee and the
Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to
exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options or
Restricted Stock granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

         18.      Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
                  ----------------------------------

                  (a)   Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to
the exercise of an Option, Stock Purchase Right or Warrant and shares of
Restricted Stock shall not be released from the custody of the Company if so
held, unless the exercise of such Option, Stock Purchase Right or Warrant and
the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and
shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect
to such compliance.

                  (b)   Investment Representations. As a condition to the
exercise of an Option, Stock Purchase Right or Warrant, the Company may require
the person exercising such Option, Stock Purchase Right or Warrant to represent
and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased
only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such
Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is
required.

         19.      Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to
                  -----------------------------
obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained.

         20.      Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this
                  ---------------------
Plan, will at all times reserve andkeep available such number of Shares as shall
be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

         21.      Stockholder Approval.  The Plan shall be subject to approval
                  --------------------
by the stockholders of the Companywithin twelve (12) months after the date the
Plan is adopted. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and
to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

         22.      Governing Law.  The terms of this Plan shall be governed by
                  -------------
the Laws of the State of Washingtonwithout reference to principles of conflict
of laws, as applied to contracts executed in and performed wholly within the
State of Washington.

         23.      Tax Withholding.
                  ---------------

                  (a)   An Optionee or Grantee may be required to pay to the
Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or other Affiliate, and the Company or any
Parent, Subsidiary or other Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby
authorized to withhold from any Shares or other property deliverable under any
award under the Plan or from any compensation or other amounts owing to an
Optionee or Grantee the amount (in cash, Shares or other property) of any
required

<PAGE>

tax withholding and payroll taxes in respect of the grant or exercise or lapse
of restrictions with respect to an award, and to take such other action as may
be necessary in the opinion of the Company, to satisfy all obligations for the
payment of such taxes.

         (b)      Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, if so
provided in a Restricted Stock Agreement, a Stock Option agreement, Warrant
agreement or Stock Purchase Right agreement, a Grantee or an Optionee may
satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability (but no more
than the minimum required withholding liability) by delivery of Shares owned by
the Grantee or the Optionee (which are not subject to any pledge or other
security interest) with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability
or by having the Company withhold from the number of Shares otherwise issuable
pursuant to the exercise of the Option, Stock Purchase Right or Warrant or lapse
of restrictions on the Restricted Stock a number of shares with a Fair Market
Value equal to such withholding liability.

   24.   Privileges of Stock Ownership. Except as otherwise specifically
         -----------------------------
provided in the Plan, no person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership
in respect of shares of Stock which are subject to Options, Stock Purchase
Rights or Warrants hereunder until such shares have been issued to that person.

   25.   Claim to Awards and Employment Rights. No Service Provider shall have
         -------------------------------------
any claim or right to be granted Restricted Stock, Options, Stock Purchase
Rights or Warrants under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an
award, to be selected for a grant of any other award. Neither the Plan nor any
action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Optionee or Grantee any
right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company, Subsidiaries or
Affiliates.<PAGE>

                                                                   Exhibit 10.14

    ----------
Executive Officer of the Company, commencing upon the Effective Date, and

2A. TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term ("Term") of this Agreement shall commence on the
    -----------------
Effective Date and shall continue for a period of three years, unless sooner
terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of the Standard Terms
and Conditions attached hereto; provided that Employee and the Company will
enter into good faith negotiations to extend the Term no later than six months
prior to the end of the Term. Effective upon the Effective Date, this Agreement
shall replace and supercede Employee's existing employment letter with the
Company dated October 1, 1999 (the "Former Agreement"), and effective as of the
date hereof, this Agreement shall replace and supercede the Term Sheet, and the
Term Sheet shall be of no further force and effect.

3A. COMPENSATION.
    ------------

    (a) BASE SALARY. During the Term, the Company shall pay Employee an annual
        ----------
base salary of $266,000 (the "Base Salary"), payable in equal biweekly
installments or in accordance with the Company's payroll practice as in effect
from time to time. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term "Base Salary"
shall refer to Base Salary as in effect from time to time.

    (b) BONUS. During the Term, Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual
        -----
bonus equal to 200% of his Base Salary, payable 50% in cash and 50% in options
to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Stock") under a USAi company-wide policy in a manner consistent with
similarly situated executives of USAi and its subsidiaries, based on the
achievement of agreed-upon Company budget goals. The calculation of the value of
such options shall be consistent with the past practices of USAi and shall be no
less favorable for Employee than for other similarly situated executives of USAi
and its subsidiaries. $133,000 of the Employee's annual bonus will be guaranteed
and paid in cash while Employee is employed by the Company during the Term.

    (c) EQUITY AWARDS. (i) Following the Effective Date, all of Employee's
        -------------
stock options outstanding and unexercised as of August 2, 2001 that are
outstanding as of the Effective Date shall remain outstanding in accordance with
their terms.

        (ii)  In consideration of Employee's entering into this Agreement and as
 an inducement to continue in the employ of the Company, Employee shall be
granted as of the Effective Date under the USAi 2000 Stock and Annual Incentive
Plan a non-qualified stock option (the "USAi Option") to purchase 100,000 shares
of USAi's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "USAi Common Stock"),
subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the USAi Board of
Directors. The exercise price per share of the USAi Option shall be the last
reported sales price of USAi Common Stock in the over-the-counter market (or
such other market on which the USAi Common Stock is then traded) on the last
trading date immediately prior to the date of grant. Such option shall vest and
become exercisable in four equal installments on each of the first four
anniversaries of the date of grant. The USAi Option shall have a scheduled
ten-year term.

        (iii) In consideration of Employee's entering into this Agreement and as
an inducement to continue in the employ of the Company, Employee shall be
granted on the Effective Date under the Company's 2001 Stock Option Plan a
non-qualified stock option (the

                                       2

<PAGE>

 "Option") to purchase 375,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock,
subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the
"Compensation Committee"). The exercise price per share of the Option shall be
the closing sales price of the Common Stock (or the closing bid, if no sales are
reported) on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the last market trading day prior to the
date of grant. Such Option shall vest and become exercisable in four equal
installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the
date of grant. The Option shall have a scheduled ten-year term.

          (iv)  Following the Effective Date, Employee shall be evaluated for
future option grants in a manner consistent with the evaluation provided for
similarly situated executives of USAi and its subsidiaries.

          (v)   The Company shall grant to Employee on the Effective Date 25,000
restricted shares (the "Restricted Stock Grant") of the Company's Common Stock.
All restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Grant shall lapse on the
third anniversary of the Effective Date, provided that Employee remains in the
employ of the Company through such date.

          (vi)  Upon a Change in Control of the Company, the USAi Option and all
Company options or other Company equity compensation, to the extent outstanding
as of the Change in Control of the Company, shall vest immediately. The USAi
Option and the Company options shall remain exercisable for one year following a
Change in Control of the Company notwithstanding any subsequent termination of
employment which otherwise would have provided for a shorter exercise period
following termination of Employee's employment.

          (vii) Except as specifically set forth herein, each of the Option, the
USAi Option and the Restricted Stock Grant will be governed by the applicable
plan under which each grant is made and the award agreement relating thereto.

        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

        owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company's assets
        either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially

        no Person (excluding USAi, Barry Diller, Liberty Media Corporation,
        Vivendi Universal S.A. and their affiliates, any employee benefit plan
        (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from
        such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly,
        more than a majority of the combined voting power of the then
        outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent
        that such ownership of the Company existed prior to the Business
        Combination and (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of

                          STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                          -----------------------------

1.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE'S EMPLOYMENT.
     ------------------------------------

     (a) DEATH. In the event Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by
         -----
reason of Employee's death, the Company shall pay Employee's designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries, within 30 days of Employee's death, in a lump sum
in cash, Employee's Base Salary from the date of Employee's death through the
end of the month in which Employee's death occurs and any Accrued Obligations
(as defined in paragraph 1(f) below).

     (b) DISABILITY. If, as a result of Employee's incapacity due to physical or
         ----------
mental illness ("Disability"), Employee shall have been absent from the
full-time performance of Employee's duties with the Company for a period of four
consecutive months and, within 30 days after written notice is provided to
Employee by the Company (in accordance with Section 4A hereof), Employee shall
not have returned to the full-time performance of Employee's duties, Employee's
employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the Company for Disability.
During any period prior to such termination during which Employee is absent from

Disability, the Company shall continue to pay Employee's Base Salary at the rate
in effect at the commencement of such period of Disability, offset by any
amounts payable to Employee under any disability insurance plan or policy
provided by the Company. Upon termination of Employee's employment due to
Disability, the Company shall pay Employee within 30 days of such termination
(i) Employee's Base Salary from the date of Employee's termination of employment
due to Disability through the end of the month in which such termination of
employment occurs in a lump sum in cash, offset by any amounts payable to
Employee under any disability insurance plan or policy provided by the Company
with respect to such month; and (ii) any Accrued Obligations (as defined in
paragraph 1(f) below).

     (c) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE; RESIGNATION BY EMPLOYEE WITHOUT GOOD REASON. The
         ------------------------------------------------------------------
Company may terminate Employee's employment under this Agreement for Cause at
any time prior to the expiration of the Term, and Employee may resign without
Good Reason under this Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the
Term. As used herein, "Cause" shall mean: (i) the plea of guilty or nolo
contendere to, or conviction for, the commission of a felony offense by
Employee; provided, however, that after indictment, the Company may suspend
          --------  -------
Employee from the rendition of services, but without limiting or modifying in
any other way the Company's obligations under this Agreement; (ii) a material
breach by Employee of a fiduciary duty owed to the Company; (iii) a material
breach by Employee of any of the covenants made by Employee in Section 2 below;
or (iv) the willful or gross neglect by Employee of the material duties required
by this Agreement. Before a cessation of Employee's employment shall be deemed
to be a termination of Employee's employment for Cause, (A) the Company shall
provide written notice to Employee that identifies the conduct described in
clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) as applicable, and (B) in the event that the event
or condition is curable, Employee shall have failed to remedy such event or
condition within 30 days after Employee shall have received the written notice
from the Company described above. As used herein, "Good Reason" shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following without Employee's

<PAGE>

written consent: (i) a material adverse change in Employee's title, duties,
operational authority, or reporting responsibilities from those in effect on the
Effective Date, (ii) a material reduction in Employee's Annual Base Salary or
target bonus percentage, except that any such reduction in target bonus
percentage pursuant to an across-the-board reduction applicable to executives of
the Company generally shall not constitute Good Reason under this Agreement,
(iii) a relocation of Employee's principal place of business more than 25 miles
from the Seattle, Washington metropolitan area, or (iv) (A) if a corporation
that is a publicly-traded affiliate of USAi either (1) becomes the owner,
whether directly or indirectly, of a majority of the combined voting power of
the then Outstanding Company Voting Securities or (2) controls the ability to
elect a majority of the directors of the Company (each, a "Controlling Affiliate
Corporation"), the occurrence of such event shall constitute a Change in Control
and Good Reason unless Employee is offered the position as the most senior
executive officer of the Controlling Affiliate Corporation or (B) if the Company
ceases to be a publicly traded entity, the occurrence of such event shall
constitute Good Reason, unless Employee is offered the position as the most
senior executive officer of the "Controlling Corporation" of the Company (i.e.,
                                                                          ---
the entity owning the highest percentage of the then Outstanding Company Voting
Securities) and the Controlling Corporation is publicly-traded; provided, that
this clause (iv) shall be inapplicable with respect to a merger, consolidation,
recapitalization or other extraordinary business combination relating to the
capital stock or assets of USAi; provided, further, that a Liberty/Vivendi Event
shall not constitute Good Reason under this clause (iv). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the acquisition by USAi of additional shares of stock of the Company,
including the acquisition of additional shares which would make the Company a
wholly-owned and non-publicly traded subsidiary of USAi, shall not constitute a
Change in Control or Good Reason or a breach under this Agreement, provided,
that, if the Company becomes a wholly-owned and non-publicly traded subsidiary
of USAi, (i) Employee shall remain as chief executive officer of the Company or
its successor, (ii) Employee shall report to the chief executive officer of USAi
and (iii) Employee's Company stock options shall vest or be converted into USAi
stock options. In the event of Employee's termination for Cause or resignation
without Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligation
by the Company, except for the payment of any Accrued Obligations (as defined in
paragraph 1(f) below).

   (d) TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY OTHER THAN FOR DEATH, DISABILITY OR CAUSE;
       --------------------------------------------------------------------
RESIGNATION BY EMPLOYEE FOR GOOD REASON. The Company may terminate Employee's
---------------------------------------
employment under this Agreement without Cause at any time prior to the
expiration of the Term, and Employee may resign for Good Reason under this
Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the Term. If Employee's
employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than Employee's
death or Disability or for Cause, or if Employee resigns for Good Reason, then
(i) the Company shall pay Employee the Base Salary from the date of termination
of Employee's employment through the end of the Term over the course of the then
remaining scheduled Term pursuant to the Company's normal payroll practices (the
"Severance Period"); (ii) following the end of the fiscal year during which the
date of termination occurs, the Company shall pay Employee an amount equal to
the greater of (x) $133,000 or (y) the product of (A) Employee's annual bonus,
based on the satisfaction of performance goal formulas, and (B) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year in which the date of
termination occurs through the date of termination and the denominator of which
is 365; and (iii) the Company shall pay Employee within 30 days of the

                                       2

<PAGE>

date of such termination in a lump sum in cash any Accrued Obligations (as
defined in paragraph 1(f) below). In addition, upon a termination of Employee's
employment without Cause or upon Employee's resignation for Good Reason,
Employee shall immediately vest in all Company stock options (and the USAi
Option) and such options shall remain exercisable for one year following the
date of termination. The payment to Employee of severance benefits in this
paragraph shall be subject to Employee's execution and non-revocation of a
general release of the Company and its affiliates in a form substantially
similar to that used for similarly situated executives of USAi and its
subsidiaries.

     (e) MITIGATION; OFFSET. In the event of termination of Employee's
         ------------------
employment prior to the end of the Term, in no event shall Employee be obligated
to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the
amounts payable under this Section 1. If Employee obtains other employment
during the Severance Period, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for
under this Section 1 which has been paid to Employee shall be refunded to the
Company by Employee in an amount equal to any compensation earned by Employee as
a result of employment with or services provided to another employer during the
Severance Period, and all future amounts payable by the Company to Employee
during the Severance Period shall be offset by the amount earned by Employee
from another employer; provided that Employee shall not be required to return to
the Company an amount greater than the amount that he earns from such other
employer. For purposes of this Section 1(e), Employee shall have an obligation
to inform promptly the Company regarding Employee's employment status during the
Severance Period.

     (f) ACCRUED OBLIGATIONS. As used in this Agreement, "Accrued Obligations"
         -------------------
shall mean the sum of (i) any portion of Employee's accrued but unpaid Base
Salary through the date of death or termination of employment for any reason, as
the case may be; and (ii) any compensation previously earned but deferred by
Employee (together with any interest or earnings thereon) that has not yet been
paid.

2.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; NON-SOLICITATION; AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
     ------------------------------------------------------------------

     (a) CONFIDENTIALITY. Employee acknowledges that, while employed by the
         ---------------
Company, Employee will occupy a position of trust and confidence.
Employee shall not, except as may be required to perform Employee's duties
hereunder or as required by applicable law, disclose to others, use, copy,
transmit, reproduce, summarize, quote or make commercial, whether directly or
indirectly, any Confidential Information regarding the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates. Employee will also take reasonable steps to
safeguard such Confidential Information and prevent its loss, theft, or
inadvertent disclosure to third persons. This Section 2 shall apply to
Confidential Information acquired by Employee whether prior or subsequent to the
execution of this Agreement. "Confidential Information" shall mean information
about the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and their clients
and customers that is not disclosed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates for financial reporting purposes and that was learned by Employee in
the course of employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, including (without limitation) any proprietary knowledge, trade
secrets, data, formulae, information and client and customer lists and all

                                       3

<PAGE>

papers, resumes, and records (including computer records) of the documents
containing such Confidential Information. Employee acknowledges that such
Confidential Information is specialized, unique in nature and of great value to
the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates, and that such information gives
the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates a competitive advantage. Employee
agrees to deliver or return to the Company, at the Company's request at any time
or upon termination or expiration of Employee's employment or as soon thereafter
as possible, all documents, computer tapes and disks, records, lists, data,
drawings, prints, notes and written information (and all copies thereof)
furnished by the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates or prepared by
Employee in the course of Employee's employment by the Company and its
subsidiaries or affiliates. As used in this Agreement, "affiliates" shall mean
any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company.

     (b) NON-COMPETITION. During the Term and for a period of 24 months beyond
         ---------------
Employee's date of termination of employment for any reason (the "Restricted
Period"), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in or become
associated with a Competitive Activity. For purposes of this Section 2(b): (i) a
"Competitive Activity" means any business or other endeavor, in any county of
any state of the United States or a comparable jurisdiction in Canada or any
other country, of a kind being conducted by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates in such jurisdiction as of the Effective Date or at
any time thereafter; and (ii) Employee shall be considered to have become
"associated with a Competitive Activity" if Employee becomes directly or
indirectly involved as an owner, principal, employee, officer, director,
independent contractor, representative, stockholder, financial backer, agent,
partner, advisor, lender, or in any other individual or representative capacity
with any individual, partnership, corporation or other organization that is
engaged in a Competitive Activity; provided, however, that if the Restricted
                                   --------  -------
Period would extend beyond the Severance Period (under circumstances in which
Employee had received severance benefits under Section 1(d)), the Restricted
Period shall end upon the expiration of the Severance Period, unless the Company
pays Employee at a rate of $100,000 per year (prorated on a monthly basis) to
the extent it determines to continue the Restricted Period beyond the Severance
Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may make and retain investments
during the Restricted Period, for investment purposes only, in less than five
percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of any publicly-traded corporation
engaged in a Competitive Activity if stock of such corporation is either listed
on a national stock exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System if Employee
is not otherwise affiliated with such corporation.

     (c) NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. During the Restricted Period, Employee
         -----------------------------
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or
indirectly, recruit or solicit the employment or services of (whether as an
employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or independent contractor) any
employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or independent contractor of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (except for employment or
hiring by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates); provided that a
general solicitation of the public for employment shall not constitute
solicitation of employees hereunder.

                                       4

<PAGE>

     (d) NON-SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS. During the Restricted Period, Employee
         -----------------------------
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or
indirectly, solicit Business of, attempt to do Business with, or do Business
with any Customers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or
encourage (regardless of who initiates the contact) any such Customers to use
the services of any competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates. For purposes of this Section, (i) "Business" means any business or
other endeavor of a kind being conducted by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates as of the Effective Date or at any time during the
Restricted Period and (ii) "Customer" means an individual or entity with whom
the Company has done Business during, or within the 18 months preceding, the
Restricted Period.

     (e) PROPRIETARY RIGHTS; ASSIGNMENT. All Employee Developments shall be made
         ------------------------------
for hire by Employee for the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
"Employee Developments" means any idea, discovery, invention, design, method,
technique, improvement, enhancement, development, computer program, machine,
algorithm or other work or authorship that (i) relates to the business or
operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or (ii)
results from or is suggested by any undertaking assigned to the Employee or work
performed by the Employee for or on behalf of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, whether created alone or with others, during or
after working hours. All Confidential Information and all Employee Developments
shall remain the sole property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates. The Employee shall acquire no proprietary interest in any
Confidential Information or Employee Developments developed or acquired during
the Term. To the extent the Employee may, by operation of law or otherwise,
acquire any right, title or interest in or to any Confidential Information or
Employee Development, the Employee hereby assigns to the Company all such
proprietary rights. The Employee shall, both during and after the Term, upon the
Company's request, promptly execute and deliver to the Company all such
assignments, certificates and instruments, and shall promptly perform such other
acts, as the Company may from time to time in its discretion deem necessary or
desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, enforce or defend the
Company's rights in Confidential Information and Employee Developments.

     (f) COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. During the Term, Employee
         ---------------------------------------
shall adhere to the policies and standards of professionalism set forth in the
Company's Policies and Procedures as they may exist from time to time.

     (g) REMEDIES FOR BREACH. Employee expressly agrees and understands that
         -------------------
Employee will notify the Company in writing of any alleged breach of this
Agreement by the Company, and the Company will have 30 days from receipt of
Employee's notice to cure any such breach.

         Employee expressly agrees and understands that the remedy at law for
any breach by Employee of this Section 2 will be inadequate and that damages
flowing from such breach are not usually susceptible to being measured in
monetary terms. Accordingly, it is acknowledged that upon Employee's violation
of any provision of this Section 2, in addition to any remedy of law available
to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of
competent jurisdiction immediate injunctive relief and obtain a temporary order
restraining any threatened or further breach as well as an equitable accounting
of all profits or benefits arising out of such violation. Nothing in this
Section 2 shall be deemed to limit the Company's remedies at law or in equity
for any breach by Employee of any of the provisions of this Section 2, which may
be pursued by or available to the Company.

                                       5

<PAGE>

     (h) SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The obligations contained in this Section 2
         ----------------------
shall, to the extent provided in this Section 2, survive the termination or
expiration of Employee's employment with the Company and, as applicable, shall
be fully enforceable thereafter in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any
restriction in this Section 2 is excessive in duration or scope or is
unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention
of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to
render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state.

     3.  TERMINATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS. Except as specifically provided
         -------------------------------
otherwise herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties, and as of the Effective Date, terminates and supercedes any and all
prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the
parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the
Former Agreement and, as of the date hereof, this Agreement shall replace and
supercede the Term Sheet. Employee acknowledges and agrees that neither the
Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has made, and is not making, and in
executing this Agreement, the Employee has not relied upon, any representations,
promises or inducements except to the extent the same is expressly set forth in
this Agreement. Employee hereby represents and warrants that by entering into
this Agreement, Employee will not rescind or otherwise breach any agreement or
other legal obligation with any other person or entity.

     4.  ASSIGNMENT; SUCCESSORS. This Agreement is personal in its nature and
         ----------------------
none of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the others, assign or
transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder; provided that
the Company may assign this Agreement to any of its affiliates; provided further
that, in the event of the merger, consolidation, transfer, or sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company with or to any other individual
or entity, this Agreement shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of such successor and such successor shall
discharge and perform all the promises, covenants, duties, and obligations of
the Company hereunder, and all references herein to the "Company" shall refer to
such successor.

     5.  WITHHOLDING. The Company shall make such deductions and withhold such
         -----------
amounts from each payment and benefit made or provided to Employee hereunder, as
may be required from time to time by applicable law, governmental regulation or
order.

     6.  HEADING REFERENCES. Section headings in this Agreement are included
         ------------------
herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement for any other purpose. References to "this Agreement" or the use of
the term "hereof" shall refer to these Standard Terms and Conditions and the
Employment Agreement attached hereto, taken as a whole.

     7.  WAIVER; MODIFICATION. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any
         --------------------
of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of
such term, covenant, or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of, or
failure to insist upon strict compliance

                                       6

<PAGE>

with, any right or power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a
waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or times. This
Agreement shall not be modified in any respect except by a writing executed by
each party hereto.

     8.  SEVERABILITY. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction
         ------------
determines that any portion of this Agreement is in violation of any law or
public policy, only the portions of this Agreement that violate such law or
public policy shall be stricken. All portions of this Agreement that do not
violate any statute or public policy shall continue in full force and effect.
Further, any court order striking any portion of this Agreement shall modify the
stricken terms as narrowly as possible to give as much effect as possible to the
intentions of the parties under this Agreement.

     9.  INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify and hold Employee harmless
         ---------------
for acts and omissions in Employee's capacity as an officer, director or
employee of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law,
and shall provide Employee with directors' and officers' insurance to the extent
provided to executive officers of the Company; provided, however, that neither
                                               --------  -------
the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall indemnify Employee
for any losses incurred by Employee as a result of acts described in Section
1(c) of this Agreement.

     10. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts,
         ------------
each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument. Employee expressly understands and
acknowledges that the Agreement to which these Standard Terms and Conditions are
attached is incorporated herein by reference, deemed a part of these Standard
Terms and Conditions and is a binding and enforceable part of these Standard
Terms and Conditions. References to "Standard Terms and Conditions" or the use
of the term "hereof" shall refer to the Standard Terms and Conditions and the
Agreement to which these Standard Terms and Conditions are attached, taken as a
whole.
