           Section 3a. of the GreatDomains.com, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") was amended as of the date hereof to read as follows :

          "a. Subject to the provisions of Section 10, below, the maximum
     aggregate number of Shares which may be optioned under the Plan is
     5,596,190 Shares. The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired
     Common Stock."

     Section 7a.i.(2) of the Plan was amended as of the date hereof to read as
follows:

          "(2) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in the
     preceding paragraph, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than
     one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
     of grant, which Fair Market Value per Share shall in no event be less than
     $5.24 from and after February 23, 2000, subject to proportional adjustments

     resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split and any other similar
     event resulting in an increase or decrease in the number of issued shares
     of Common Stock."

     Section 11 of the Plan was amended as of the date hereof to read as
follows:

             "11.  Corporate Transactions
                   ----------------------

                   a. Unless otherwise approved by the Administrator, in the
     event of any Corporate Transaction, each Option which is at the time
     outstanding under the Plan automatically shall become vested by an
     additional six (6) months immediately prior to the effective date of the
     Corporate Transaction and, if within 30 days after a Corporate Transaction,
     an Employee is terminated, required to relocate to an area which is thirty
     miles, or more, from the Company location at which such Employee was
     working immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, offered a lower
     salary or not offered continued vesting of a comparable option grant by the
     acquiring entity, then the vesting of such Employee's Options shall
     automatically accelerate by an additional twelve (12) months. The
     determination of Option comparability under this Subsection a. shall be
     made by the Administrator, and its determination shall be final, binding
     and conclusive.

             b. The portion of any Incentive Stock Option accelerated under this
     Section 11 in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall remain
     exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent
     the $100,000 dollar limitation of Section 422(D) of the Code is not
     exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated
     excess portion of such Option shall be exercisable as a Non-Qualified Stock
     Option."
