permitted by the laws of the British Virgin Islands or any other applicable

Item 22. Undertakings
(1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to
any public offering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a
prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or
party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c),
the undersigned Registrant undertakes that such offering prospectus will
contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with
respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition
to the information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.
(2) The Registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed
pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet
the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with
an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an
amendment to the Registration Statement and will not be used until such
amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) Insofar as the indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(4) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus pursuant to
Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through
the date of responding to the request.
(5) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.
(6) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

EXHIBIT 10.25
OPENTV CORP.
2000 EXCHANGE PLAN
Adopted by the Board of Directors of OpenTV Corp. on May 12, 2000
ARTICLE ONE
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. PURPOSE.
This 2000 EXCHANGE PLAN (the "Plan") is intended to promote the interests
of OpenTV, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("OpenTV, Inc."), OpenTV Corp., an
international business company organized under the laws of the British Virgin
Islands (the "Company"), and any direct or indirect subsidiary of OpenTV, Inc.
and the Company by providing liquidity to all current and former employees of
OpenTV, Inc., the Company and any direct or indirect subsidiary of OpenTV, Inc.
or the Company (the "Holders") that hold shares of Class A Common Stock, par
value $0.001 per share of OpenTV, Inc. and Class B Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share of OpenTV, Inc. (collectively, the "Common Stock") and options
to purchase shares of Common Stock, issued pursuant to the OpenTV, Inc. 1998
Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, as amended and restated from time to time (the
"1998 Plan") by granting the Holders the right to exchange vested shares of
Common Stock for an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares, no par value per
share (the "Ordinary Shares") of the Company.
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix.
2. STRUCTURE OF PLAN.
Any right granted under the Plan to exchange vested shares of Common
Stock for Ordinary Shares shall be referred to herein as a "Right". The
provisions of Articles One, Two and Three shall apply to all Rights under the
Plan and shall accordingly govern the interests of all Participants under the
Plan.
<PAGE>
3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.
a. The Plan shall be administered by the Board. However, any or all
administrative functions otherwise exercisable by the Board may be delegated to
a committee composed of not fewer than two (2) Directors (the "Committee"), and
may also be, in the discretion of the Board, Outside Directors. If
administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in
connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed
by the Board (and references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to
the Committee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The
Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the
administration of the Plan.
b. The Board shall have full power and authority (subject to the
provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem
appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such
determinations under and interpretations of the Plan and any outstanding Rights
thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Board shall
be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any
Right thereunder.
4. ELIGIBILITY.
a. The persons eligible to participate in the Plan are those current
and former employees of OpenTV, Inc., the Company and any direct or indirect
subsidiary of OpenTV, Inc. and the Company, including current and former
employees of OpenTV EURL, that hold shares of Common Stock and options to
purchase shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the 1998 Plan.
b. The Board shall have full authority to determine which
Participants are to receive Rights, the time or times when such Rights are to be
granted, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Rights and the
consideration to be paid by the Participant, if any, for the Ordinary Shares to
be issued in exchange for the shares of Common Stock covered by each Right.
c. The Board shall have the absolute discretion to grant Rights.
5. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
a. The Ordinary Shares issuable under the Plan shall be authorized
but unissued or reacquired Ordinary Shares. Subject to the provisions of
subsection 1.c. of this Section 5 relating to adjustments upon changes in the
capitalization of the Company and OpenTV, Inc., the maximum number of Ordinary
Shares which may be issued in exchange for shares of Common Stock over the term
of the Plan shall not exceed 1,631,955 Ordinary Shares.
b. Ordinary Shares issuable in exchange for vested shares of Common
Stock shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent
(i) the Rights
<PAGE>
3
expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the
Rights are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of
Article Two. Unvested Ordinary Shares issued under the Plan and subsequently
repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Company's repurchase rights under
the Plan shall be added back to the number of Ordinary Shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance
through one or more subsequent Rights under the Plan.
c. If any change is made in the shares of Common Stock subject to the
Plan, the Ordinary Shares issuable under the Plan, or subject to any Right
(through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
reincorporation, share dividend, dividend in property other than cash, share
split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change
in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of
consideration by the Company or OpenTV, Inc.), the Plan will be appropriately
adjusted in the class(es) and number of shares and price per share of shares of
Common Stock subject to such outstanding Rights and Ordinary Shares issuable
upon exercise of such Rights. Such adjustments shall be made by the Board or
the Committee, the determination of which shall be final, binding and
conclusive.
ARTICLE TWO
RIGHTS AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM
1. TERMS OF RIGHTS
a. Exercise and Term of Rights. Each Right shall be exercisable at
such time or times, during such period and for such number of Ordinary Shares as
shall be determined by the Board. However, no Right shall have a term in excess
of fifteen (15) years measured from the Right grant date.
b. Shareholder Rights. The holder of a Right shall have no
shareholder rights with respect to the Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to
Rights granted under the Plan until such person shall have exercised the Right
and become a holder of record of the Ordinary Shares received upon exercise of
the Right.
c. Unvested Shares of Common Stock. The Board may not grant Rights
which are exercisable in exchange for unvested shares of Common Stock and
Participants may only exchange vested shares of Common Stock for Ordinary Shares
pursuant to Rights granted under the Plan.
d. Limited Transferability of Rights. During the lifetime of the
Participant, the Rights shall be exercisable only by the Participant and shall
not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution following the Participant's death; provided, however, that,
-------- -------
pursuant to local law or the applicable law of
<PAGE>
4
descent, Participants may transfer Rights to charitable trusts and other
charitable organizations in the event that the shares of Common Stock subject
to such Rights have also been transferred by such Participant to such
charitable trust or organization.
e. Withholding. The Company's obligation to deliver Ordinary Shares
upon the exercise of any Right granted under the Plan shall be subject to the
satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and local income and employment
tax withholding requirements.
2. CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF RIGHTS
The Board shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from
time to time, with the consent of the affected Right holders, the cancellation
of any or all outstanding Rights under the Plan and to grant in substitution
therefor new Rights covering the same or different number of shares of Common
Stock but with exchange terms with respect to the Ordinary Shares that are no
less favorable than those exchange terms in the Plan on the new Right grant
date.
3. EXCHANGE TERMS
Ordinary Shares may be issued in exchange for vested shares of Common
Stock under the Exchange Program through direct and immediate issuances. Each
such issuance shall be evidenced by a Notice of Exchange in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company.
4. CORPORATE TRANSACTION
a. The shares of Common Stock subject to each Right outstanding under
the Plan at the time of a Corporate Transaction shall automatically vest in full
so that each such Right shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the
Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable for all of the Ordinary Shares
into which such shares of Common Stock may be exchanged at the time subject to
that Right and may be exercised for any or all of those Ordinary Shares as
fully-vested Ordinary Shares. However, the shares of Common Stock subject to an
outstanding Right shall not vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the
extent (i) such Right is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent
thereof) in the Corporate Transaction and OpenTV, Inc.'s repurchase rights with
respect to the unvested Right shares are concurrently assigned to such successor
corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) such Right is to be replaced with a cash
incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread
existing on the unvested Right shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction
and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule
applicable to those unvested Right shares or (iii) the acceleration of such
Right is subject to other limitations imposed by the Board at the time of the
Right grant.
<PAGE>
5
b. All outstanding repurchase rights under the Plan shall also
terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those
terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate
Transaction, except to the extent (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to
the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate
Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations
imposed by the Board at the time the repurchase right was issued.
c. Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate
Transaction, all outstanding Rights shall terminate and cease to be outstanding,
except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof).
d. Each Right which is assumed in connection with a Corporate
Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate
Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have
been issuable to the Participant in consummation of such Corporate Transaction,
had the Right been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction.
Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the number and class of securities
available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of such
Corporate Transaction.
e. The Board shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the
time the Right is granted or at any time while the Right remains outstanding, to
provide for the automatic acceleration (in whole or in part) of one or more
outstanding Rights (and the immediate termination of OpenTV, Inc.'s repurchase
rights with respect to the shares subject to those Rights) upon the occurrence
of a Corporate Transaction, whether or not those Rights are to be assumed in the
Corporate Transaction.
f. The Board shall also have full power and authority, exercisable
either at the time the Right is granted or at any time while the Right remains
outstanding, to structure such Right so that the shares of Common Stock subject
to that Right will automatically vest on an accelerated basis should the
Participant's Service terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a
designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective
date of any Corporate Transaction in which the Right is assumed and the
repurchase rights applicable to those shares do not otherwise terminate. Any
Right so accelerated shall remain exercisable for the fully-vested Right shares
until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Right term or (ii) the expiration
of the one (1)-year period measured from the effective date of the Involuntary
Termination. In addition, the Board may provide that one or more of the
outstanding repurchase rights with respect to shares of Common Stock held by the
Participant at the time of such Involuntary Termination shall immediately
terminate on an accelerated basis, and the shares subject to those terminated
rights shall accordingly vest at that time.
h. The grant of Rights under the Plan shall in no way affect the
right of OpenTV, Inc. or the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or
otherwise change its capital
<PAGE>
6
or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
i. The Board shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable at
any time while OpenTV, Inc.'s repurchase rights with respect to those shares
remain outstanding, to provide that those rights shall automatically terminate
on an accelerated basis, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those
terminated rights shall immediately vest, in the event the Participant's Service
should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a
designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following, the effective
date of any Corporate Transaction in which those repurchase rights are assigned
to the successor corporation (or parent thereof).

evidencing such Rights or issuances.

certain amendments may require shareholder approval pursuant to applicable laws
and regulations.

over the Plan, the Rights granted under it and the Ordinary Shares issued
pursuant to it.
5. NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE RIGHTS
Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to
continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or
