                                 PROXY STATEMENT
                               -------------------


                       2000 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
                                  MAY 10, 2000

     The Board of Directors of Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch, Inc. (the
"Company") is soliciting the enclosed Proxy for use at the 2000 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of the Company to be held on Wednesday,
May 10, 2000, at 10:00 a.m., at the Pasadena Hilton Hotel, 168 S. Los Robles
Avenue, Pasadena, California 91101. This Proxy Statement was initially sent to
stockholders on or about April 20, 2000.

     Shares represented by a Proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting as
directed if it is properly executed and delivered. In the absence of
instructions, shares represented by valid Proxies will be voted in accordance
with the recommendations of the Board of Directors set forth herein. At any time
prior to the voting, a Proxy may be revoked by written notice to the Secretary
of the Company or by subsequently filing another properly executed Proxy. Any
stockholder present at the meeting may vote in person even though the
stockholder may have previously given a Proxy.

     The cost of solicitation of Proxies will be paid by the Company. In
addition to solicitation of Proxies by use of the mail, directors, officers or
employees of the Company may, without additional compensation, solicit Proxies
personally, by telephone or by other appropriate means. The Company will request
banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees or fiduciaries holding
shares of the common stock of the Company in their names for others to send
proxy materials and annual reports to, and to obtain Proxies from, their
principals, and the Company will reimburse them for the reasonable expenses
incurred in doing so.

                  VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

     Voting rights are vested exclusively in holders of the Company's Class A
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and Class B Common Stock, par value $.01
per share. As of the close of business on March 22, 2000, the record date, there
were 49,414,470 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and 36,254,082 shares
of Class B Common Stock outstanding. The rights of the holders of Class A Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock are substantially identical, except with respect
to voting, conversion and transfer. Except as otherwise required by applicable
law, each share of Class A Common Stock entitles its holder to 15 votes and each
share of Class B Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters
submitted to a vote or for the consent of stockholders. Except as otherwise
required by applicable law, the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common
Stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote or for
the consent of stockholders. The presence of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, either represented in person or by proxy at the meeting,
is necessary to constitute a quorum for purposes of conducting business at the
Annual Meeting.

<PAGE>

     Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining
the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business. With regard to the
election of directors, votes may be cast in favor of or withheld; votes that are
withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and will have no effect.
Abstentions may be specified on proposals other than the election of directors
and will be counted as present for purposes of the item on which the abstention
is noted. Therefore, such abstentions will have the effect of a negative vote.
Under applicable Delaware law, broker non-votes are not counted for purposes of
determining the votes cast on a proposal. To the Company's knowledge, no matters
other than those described in this Proxy Statement will be presented at the
meeting.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS

     On May 9, 1996, CitySearch entered into an at-will employment agreement
with Mr. Conn. Pursuant to the employment agreement, in the event that Mr.
Conn's employment is terminated, he will be entitled to receive severance
payments until the earlier of (1) such time as he is employed by a recognized
company or (2) six months after termination. The severance payments will equal
his full salary for the first three months after termination and half of his
salary for the second three months after termination. In addition, pursuant to
stock option agreements between the Company and Mr. Conn, the vesting of his
stock options was accelerated and such stock options fully vested upon
completion of the merger between Ticketmaster Online and CitySearch.

     On December 31, 1999, the Company entered into an at-will employment
agreement with each of Messrs. Pleasants and Marriott. Pursuant to these
employment agreements, in the event that either Messrs. Pleasants' or Marriott's
employment is terminated, the terminating employee will maintain the
confidentiality of Company information, and not compete with the Company's
principal businesses for two years after such termination. In addition, the
terminating employee will not solicit the employment of any Company employee,
nor hire any Company employee, for one year after such termination. For a period
of two years after termination, the terminating employee will serve the Company
in a consulting capacity and will receive a fee of $30,000 per year for such
services.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     The Board of Directors has a Compensation Committee, comprised of Messrs.
Kavner and Savoy. Neither of the members of the Compensation Committee is or was
in the past an officer or employee of Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch or its


                                       21
<PAGE>

subsidiaries. No interlocking relationship exists between the Board of Directors
or the Compensation Committee and the board of directors or compensation
committee of any other company, nor has such an interlocking relationship
existed in the past.

THE FOLLOWING REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND THE PERFORMANCE GRAPH WHICH IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS DO
NOT CONSTITUTE SOLICITING MATERIAL AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED FILED OR
INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO ANY OTHER COMPANY FILING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933 OR THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE COMPANY
SPECIFICALLY INCORPORATES THE REPORT OR THE PERFORMANCE GRAPH BY REFERENCE
THEREIN.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE
        COMPENSATION

     The Company's compensation philosophy is to tightly link executive pay to
corporate performance and returns to stockholders. A significant portion of
executive compensation is tied to appreciation in the Company's market
valuation. Thus, a significant portion of an executive's compensation is at
risk. The goals of the compensation program are to attract and retain
exceptional executive talent, to motivate these executives to achieve the
Company's business goals, to link executive and stockholder interests through
equity-based plans and to recognize individual contributions as well as overall
business results.

     The key elements of the Company's executive compensation are generally base
salary and stock options and, to a lesser extent, restricted stock. The
Compensation Committee's policies with respect to each of the elements are
discussed below. While the elements of compensation are considered separately,
the Compensation Committee also takes into account the complete compensation
package provided by the Company to the individual executive.

BASE SALARIES

     Base salaries for executive officers are determined by evaluating the
responsibilities of the position and the experience of the individual, and by
reference to the competitive marketplace for pertinent executive talent,
including a comparison to base salaries for comparable positions at other
companies. Base salaries are also determined by evaluating the financial
performance and, where appropriate, certain non-financial performance measures,
of the Company, and the performance of each executive officer.

     The base salaries of the Company's executive officers are generally low in
comparison to base salaries for comparable positions at other companies. This is
due to the fact that that the Company's executive compensation program is
heavily weighted towards stock options, more tightly coupling executive
interests with those of the stockholders of the Company.

     With respect to the base salary of Mr. Conn in 1999, the Compensation
Committee took into account base salaries of chief executive officers of peer
companies, the Company's success in meeting its return on equity goals in 1998,
the performance of the Company's Class B Common Stock and the assessment by the
Compensation Committee of Mr. Conn's individual performance. The Compensation
Committee also took into account the longevity of Mr. Conn's service to the
Company and its belief that Mr. Conn

                                       22
<PAGE>

is an excellent representative of the Company to the public by virtue of his
stature in the industry.

STOCK OPTIONS

     The purpose of the Company's stock option plans is to provide an additional
incentive to all employees of the Company to work to maximize shareholder value.
Generally, stock options vest over four years. This approach is designed to act
as a retention device for key employees and to encourage all employees to take
into account the long-term interests of the Company. The Company grants stock
options to each of its full-time employees.

     Stock options may be granted to the Company's executive officers and other
employees under the Company's 1998 Stock Plan and 1999 Stock Plan. The
guidelines used by the Compensation Committee in making the stock option grants
to the executive officers of the Company took into account the duties and
responsibilities of the individual, individual performance, years of service to
the Company, the number of outstanding options and the size of prior option
awards. In the event of poor corporate performance, the Compensation Committee
may elect not to award additional options.

     In 1999, Mr. Conn did not receive any stock options due to his pre-existing
significant stock holdings and vested stock options.

EXECUTIVE BONUSES

     The Company's executive officers are eligible for an annual cash bonus.
Cash bonuses are determined by evaluating the financial performance of the
Company and of each individual executive officer.

     Mr. Conn's bonus for 1999 was largely based on the Company's performance in
1999. In the previous two years Mr. Conn received year-end bonuses of $50,000
and $40,000, respectively. After consideration, the Compensation Committee
determined that a $50,000 bonus be paid to Mr. Conn in recognition of the
Company's financial performance in 1999 (significantly exceeding analysts'
estimates and budget), strategic progress (including the acquisitions of
Sidewalk, Match.com and One and Only Network, amongst others) and progress in
strengthening the Company's management team.

POLICY ON DEDUCTIBILITY OF COMPENSATION

     Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), limits the deductibility by a company of compensation in excess of $1
million paid to any of its five most highly compensated executive officers.
However, performance-based compensation that has been approved by stockholders
is excluded from the $1 million limit if, among other requirements, the
compensation is payable only upon attainment of pre-established, objective
performance goals and the board committee that establishes such goals consists
solely of "outside directors" (as defined for purposes of Section 162(m)).

     While the tax impact of any compensation arrangement is one factor to be
considered, such impact is evaluated in light of the Compensation Committee's
overall compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee intends to establish
executive

                                       23
<PAGE>

officer compensation programs which will maximize the Company's tax deduction if
the Compensation Committee determines that such actions are consistent with its
philosophy and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
However, from time to time the Compensation Committee may award compensation
which is not fully deductible if the Compensation Committee determines that such
award is consistent with its philosophy and in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders.

CONCLUSION

     Through the programs described above, a very significant portion of the
Company's executive compensation is linked directly to corporate and individual
performance and stock price appreciation. In 1999, as in previous years, the
majority of the Company's executive compensation consisted of compensation with
performance-based elements. The Compensation Committee and the Board of
Directors intend to continue the policy of linking executive compensation to
corporate performance and returns to stockholders.

     The foregoing report on executive compensation is provided by the following
directors who comprise the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors:

                                  Robert Kavner
                                William D. Savoy

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

               USAI, TICKETMASTER CORPORATION AND RELATED ENTITIES

     The Company expects that, both within and outside the ordinary course of
business, it and its affiliates, other than USAi and its controlled affiliates,
on the one hand, and USAi and its affiliates, other than Ticketmaster
Online-CitySearch and its controlled affiliates, on the other hand, will engage
in various transactions, including pursuant to the Company's license agreement
with Ticketmaster Corporation. The Company expects that these transactions will
result in terms to the Company that are at least as favorable as those that
could be obtained from a third party, where applicable. In 1999, the Company
paid $16.4 million in license fees to Ticketmaster Corporation pursuant to the
license agreement. Messrs. Baker, Barnes, Diller, Jacobson, Khosrowshahi and
Savoy are directors and/or executive officers of Ticketmaster Corporation or
other subsidiaries of the Company's ultimate parent company, USAi.

     In December, 1999, the Company issued 1,302,401 shares of its Class B
Common Stock to Ticketmaster Corporation, its majority shareholder, for an
aggregate purchase price of $40 million.

     In February 1999, Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch entered into an agreement
providing for the combination of Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch, Lycos, Inc. and
USAi's Home Shopping Network, Ticketmaster and Internet Shopping Network/First
Auction businesses. The transaction was terminated by mutual agreement in May
1999.

                                COMPANY PROPOSALS

     All of the nominees, other than Messrs. Grubman, Lourd and Pleasants, are
presently directors of the Company. The enclosed Proxy will be voted in favor of
the persons nominated unless otherwise indicated. If any of the nominees should
be unable to serve or should decline to do so, the discretionary authority in
the Proxy will be exercised to vote for a substitute or substitutes to be
designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no reason to
believe that any substitute nominee or nominees will be required. In the event
that a nominee for director is proposed at the Annual Meeting, the enclosed
Proxy may be voted in favor of or against such nominee or any other nominee
proposed by the Board of Directors unless otherwise indicated. Shares may not be
voted cumulatively for election of directors. Directors are elected by a
plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR EACH OF THE
NOMINEES.

                                   PROPOSAL 2

                           ADOPTION OF 1999 STOCK PLAN

     At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve the Company's
1999 Stock Plan (the "Plan"), which was adopted by the Board of Directors in
December 1999, subject to approval by the Company's stockholders, and amended in
April 2000, subject to stockholder approval. The Plan as originally adopted
provided for the issuance of up to 4,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. The
Plan was amended to provide for the issuance of up to 7,000,000 shares of Class
B Common Stock. The Company has granted options to purchase 4,771,556 shares of
Class B Common Stock under the Plan which remain outstanding as of March 31,
2000. The Plan is intended to supplement the Company's 1998 Stock Plan (the
"1998 Plan"), under which, as of March 31, 2000, 871,669 shares of Class B
Common Stock were available for future grant or issuance.

     The following summary of the main features of the Plan is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan, which is set forth as
Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

     The purposes of the Plan are to attract and retain the best available
personnel for positions within the Company, to provide additional incentive to
our employees, directors and consultants, and to promote the success of the
Company's business.

     The Plan is substantially identical to the 1998 Plan.

     The Company may issue up to 7,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock
pursuant to the Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options
to employees (including officers and employee directors) of the Company or any
parent or subsidiary of the Company and for the grant of nonstatutory stock
options and stock purchase rights

                                       27
<PAGE>

("SPRs") to employees, directors and consultants. Unless terminated sooner, the
Plan will terminate automatically in December 2009.

     The administrator of the Plan has the power to determine the terms of the
options or SPRs granted, including the exercise price of the option or SPR, the
number of shares subject to each option or SPR, the exercisability thereof, and
the form of consideration payable upon such exercise. In addition, the
administrator has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan,
provided that no such action may affect any shares of Class B Common Stock
previously issued and sold or any option previously granted under the Plan. The
maximum number of shares covered by options that each optionee may be granted
during a fiscal year is 500,000 shares. In addition, in connection with an
optionee's initial employment with the Company, such optionee may be granted an
option covering an additional 1,000,000 shares.

     Options and SPRs granted under the Plan are generally not transferable by
the optionee, and each option and SPR is exercisable during the lifetime of the
optionee only by such optionee. Options granted under the Plan generally must be
exercised within three months after the end of the optionee's status as an
employee, director or consultant of the Company, or within 12 months after such
optionee's termination by death or disability, but in no event later than the
expiration of the option's term.

     In the case of SPRs, unless the administrator determines otherwise, the
restricted stock purchase agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option
exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser's
employment or consulting relationship with the Company 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.

     The exercise price of all incentive stock options granted under the Plan
must be at least equal to the fair market value of the Class B Common Stock on
the date of grant. The exercise price of nonstatutory stock options and SPRs
granted under the Plan is determined by the administrator, but with respect to
nonstatutory stock options intended to qualify as "performance-based
compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the exercise
price must be at least equal to the fair market value of the Class B Common
Stock on the date of grant. With respect to any participant who owns stock
possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of the Company's
outstanding capital stock, the exercise price of any incentive stock option
granted must be at least equal 110% of the fair market value on the grant date,
and the term of such incentive stock option must not exceed five years. The term
of all other options granted under the Plan may not exceed ten years.

     The Plan provides that in the event of a merger of the Company with or into
another corporation, or a sale of substantially all of the Company's assets,
each option and SPR shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted for by
the successor corporation. If the outstanding options and SPRs are not assumed
or substituted for by the successor corporation, the administrator shall provide
for the optionee to vest and to have the right to exercise the option or SPR as
to all of the optioned stock, including shares as to which it would not
otherwise be vested or exercisable. If the administrator makes an option or SPR
vested and exercisable in full in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the

                                       28
<PAGE>

administrator shall notify the optionee that the option or SPR shall be fully
exercisable for a period of 15 days from the date of such notice, and the option
or SPR will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     The following discussion of the federal income tax consequences of the Plan
is intended to be a summary of applicable federal law as currently in effect.
State and local tax consequences may differ, and tax laws may be amended or
interpreted differently during the term of the Plan or of awards or grants
thereunder. Because the federal income tax rules governing awards and related
payments are complex and subject to frequent change, and they depend on the
participant's individual circumstances and the nature of the award, participants
in the Plan are advised to consult their tax advisors prior to exercise of
options or other awards or dispositions of stock acquired pursuant to awards.

     Incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options are treated
differently for federal income tax purposes. Incentive stock options are
intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code.
Nonstatutory stock options need not comply with such requirements.

     In general, an optionee is not taxed, and the Company is not entitled to a
tax deduction, on the grant or, except as described below, exercise of an
incentive stock option. The difference between the exercise price and the fair
market value of the shares of Class B Common Stock underlying the option on the
exercise date will, however, be a preference item for purposes of the
alternative minimum tax, and thus an optionee could be subject to the
alternative minimum tax as a result of the exercise of an incentive stock
option. If an optionee holds the shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive
stock option for at least two years following the option grant date and at least
one year following exercise, the optionee's gain, if any, upon a subsequent
disposition of such shares is long-term capital gain. The measure of the gain is
the difference between the proceeds received on disposition and the optionee's
basis in the shares (which generally equals the exercise price). If an optionee
disposes of shares acquired pursuant to exercise of an incentive stock option
before satisfying the one and two-year holding periods described above, the
optionee may recognize both ordinary income and capital gain in the year of
disposition and the Company will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal
to the amount of the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. The amount of
the ordinary income will be the lesser of (i) the excess of the amount realized
on disposition over the optionee's adjusted basis in the shares (usually the
exercise price) or (ii) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the
exercise date over the exercise price. The balance of the consideration received
on such a disposition will be long-term capital gain if the stock had been held
for at least one year following exercise of the incentive stock option.

     An optionee is not taxed on the grant of an nonstatutory stock option. On
exercise, however, the optionee generally recognizes ordinary income equal to
the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of
exercise over the exercise price, and the Company generally is entitled to a tax
deduction equal to such amount. Any gain on subsequent disposition of the shares
is long term capital gain if the shares are held for at least one year following
exercise.

                                       29
<PAGE>

     Certain officers and significant stockholders of the Company who are
subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 should consult
their tax advisors regarding the effect of Section 16(b) on the amount and
timing of income to be recognized in connection with an award under the Plan,
including the ability and advisability of making an election under Section 83(b)
of the Code in connection with an award.

     Options and SPRs granted under the Plan may provide for delayed vesting of
the recipient's rights to the shares purchasable thereunder. Unless the
recipient makes a valid election under section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days
after the receipt of restricted shares of Class B Common Stock, the recipient
generally will not be taxed on the receipt of such restricted shares until the
restrictions on such shares lapse or are removed. When the restrictions lapse or
are removed, the recipient will recognize ordinary income (and the Company
generally will be entitled to a deduction) in an amount equal to the excess of
the fair market value of the shares at that time over the purchase price.
However, if the recipient makes a valid section 83(b) election within 30 days of
the receipt of restricted shares of Class B Common Stock, he or she will
recognize ordinary income (and the Company will be entitled to a deduction)
equal to the excess of the fair market value of such shares on the date of
receipt (determined without regard to the effect on value of the restrictions)
over the purchase price.

     Special rules will apply in cases where a recipient of an award under the
Plan pays the exercise or purchase price of the award or applicable withholding
tax obligations under the Plan by delivering previously owned shares or by
reducing the number of shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the award. The
surrender or withholding of such shares will in certain circumstances result in
the recognition of income with respect to such shares or a carryover basis in
the shares acquired, and may constitute a disposition for purposes of applying
the incentive stock option holding periods discussed above. The Company
generally will be required to withhold any applicable income and employment
taxes in connection with the ordinary income recognized by a participant upon
exercise or payment of an award under the Plan, and may require the participant
to pay such taxes as a condition to exercise of an award under the Plan.

     The terms of the agreements or other documents pursuant to which specific
awards are made under the Plan may provide for accelerated vesting or payment of
an award in connection with a change in ownership or control of the Company. In
that event and depending upon the individual circumstances of the participant,
certain amounts with respect to such awards may constitute "excess parachute
payments" under the "golden parachute" provisions of the Code. Pursuant to these
provisions, a participant will be subject to a 20% excise tax on any "excess
parachute payments" and the Company will be denied any deduction with respect to
such payments. Participants should consult their tax advisors as to whether
accelerated vesting of an award in connection with a change of ownership or
control of the Company would give rise to an excess parachute payment.

     As described above, Options granted under the Plan may qualify as
"performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code in order to
preserve federal income tax deductions by the Company with respect to any
compensation relating to an award that is paid to a Covered Employee (as defined
in Section 162). Compensation for any year that is attributable to an award
granted to a Covered Employee and that does not so qualify may not be deductible
by the Company to the extent such compensation, when

                                       30
<PAGE>

combined with other compensation paid to such employee for the year, exceeds
$1,000,000.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF
THE ADOPTION OF THE 1999 STOCK PLAN.

Ticketmaster Online and CitySearch. One or more members of the firm will attend
the 2000 Annual Meeting. Ernst & Young LLP has indicated that it does not
presently intend to make a statement at the 2000 Annual Meeting, but a member of
the firm will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

                                    A-3

<PAGE>

        (b) POWERS OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. Subject to the provisions of the
Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties
delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the
authority, in its discretion:

            (i)   to determine the Fair Market Value;

            (ii)  to select the Service Providers to whom Options and Stock
Purchase Rights may be granted hereunder;

            (iii) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be
covered by each Option and Stock Purchase Right granted hereunder;

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

            (v)   to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan, of any Option 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 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;

            (vi)  to reduce the exercise price of any Option or Stock
Purchase Right to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value
of the Common Stock covered by such Option or Stock Purchase Right shall have
declined since the date the Option or Stock Purchase Right was granted;

            (vii) to institute an Option Exchange Program;

            (viii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards
granted pursuant to the Plan;

            (ix) 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;

            (x)  to modify or amend each Option or Stock Purchase Right
(subject to Section 15(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;

            (xi)  to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations
by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right 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 to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such
form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or
advisable;

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

            (xiii) 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 and binding on
all Optionees and any other holders of Options or Stock Purchase Rights.

                                    A-4

<PAGE>

    5.  ELIGIBILITY. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may
be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only
to Employees.

    6.  LIMITATIONS.

        (a) Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either
an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds
$100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For
purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the
Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such
Shares is granted.

        (b) Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall
confer upon an Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's
relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere
in any way with the Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate such
relationship at any time, with or without cause.

        (c) The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options:

            (i) No Service Provider shall be granted, in any fiscal year of
the Company, Options to purchase more than 500,000 Shares.

            (ii) In connection with his or her initial service, a Service
Provider may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional 1,000,000
Shares which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i)
above.

            (iii) The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately
in connection with any change in the Company's capitalization as described in
Section 13.

            (iv) If an Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the
Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction
described in Section 13), the cancelled 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 19 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 15 of
the Plan.

    8.  TERM OF OPTION. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option
Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be ten
(10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in
the Option Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option
granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is
granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years
from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided 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, subject to the following:

            (i)  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

               (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive
Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%)
of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent

                                     A-5

<PAGE>

or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the
Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

               (B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described
in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price shall be no
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

            (ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share
exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator. In the case of a
Nonstatutory 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.

            (iii) 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. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the
Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the
time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

            (i)    cash;

            (ii)   check;

            (iii)  promissory note;

            (iv)   other Shares 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 surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date
of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which
said Option shall be exercised;

            (v)    consideration received by the Company under a cashless
exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

            (vi)   a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the
Optionee, including any liability attributable to the Optionee's
participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or
arrangement;

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

            (viii) 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

                                     A-6
<PAGE>
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 13 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.

        (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 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 (3) months following the Optionee's termination. 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 within such period of time as is specified in the Option
Agreement to the extent 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 twelve (12) months
following the Optionee's termination. 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 herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such
Option shall revert to the Plan.

        (d) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider,
the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the
Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of
such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or
by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option
shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's
termination. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his
or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the
Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by
the executor or administrator of the Optionee's estate or, if none, by the
person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee's will or the
laws of descent or distribution. 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 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

                                     A-7
<PAGE>

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 voluntary or involuntary termination
of the purchaser's service with the Company 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 13 of the Plan.

    12. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS. Unless
determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Option or 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. If the Administrator makes an Option or Stock Purchase Right
transferable, such Option or Stock Purchase Right shall contain such
additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

    13. 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 Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right, and the number of shares of
Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or which have
been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or
Stock Purchase Right, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered
by each such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number 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 of Common Stock
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." 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 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
applicable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option or Stock
Purchase Right shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided 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 Stock Purchase Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation
of such proposed action.

                                     A-8

<PAGE>

        (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, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall
be assumed or an equivalent  option or right substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the
event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the
Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Optionee 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. 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 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 or
Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or
sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive,
for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase
Right 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, 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.

    14. DATE OF GRANT. The date of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right
shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the
determination granting such Option 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 within a reasonable time after the date of
such grant.

    15. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

        (a) AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

        (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) EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any
Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the
Company, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee 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 granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

    16. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

        (a) LEGAL COMPLIANCE. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right unless the exercise of such
Option or Stock Purchase Right 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 or Stock Purchase Right, the Company may require the person exercising
such Option or Stock Purchase Right 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.

                                     A-9

<PAGE>

    17. 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.

    18. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall
be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

    19. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the
stockholders of the Company within 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.
