<PAGE>

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the Company hereby
amends the Former Plan as follows:

      1.   The following definition of the following item in Section 2 of the
Former Plan is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

      "Common Stock" means AT&T's Class A Liberty Media Group Common Stock, par
value $1.00 per share.

      2. The following terms are hereby added to Section 2 of the Former Plan in
their respective appropriate alphabetical places:

      "AT&T" means AT&T Corp., a New York corporation.

      "Liberty" means Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation.

      3.    The first paragraph of Section 2 of the Former Plan is hereby
amended to read in its entirety:

      "3. Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 10 of
the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be subject to option
and sold under the Plan is 225,806 Shares of Common Stock (the "Pool"). The
Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock."

      4.    Section 3(a)(ii) of the Former Plan is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following paragraph:

      "(ii) Not applicable."

      5.    Section 9 of the Former Plan is hereby amended to read in its
entirety:

      "9.   Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger,
Asset Sale or Change of Control.


            (a) Changes in  Capitalization.  Subject to any  required  action by
AT&T's  stockholders or holders of Common Stock, the number of Shares covered by
each  outstanding  Option,  the number of Shares which have been  authorized for
issuance  under the Plan but as to which no  Options  have yet been  granted  or
which have been  returned  to the Plan upon  cancellation  or  expiration  of an
Option, as well as the price per Share covered by each such outstanding  Option,
and the number of Shares issuable  pursuant to the automatic grant provisions of
Section 4 hereof shall be proportionately  adjusted for any increase or decrease
in the number of issued and  outstanding  Shares  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 and
outstanding Shares effected without receipt of consideration by AT&T;  provided,
however,  that  conversion of any securities  convertible  into shares of Common
Stock  shall  not  be  deemed  to  have  been  "effected   without   receipt  of
consideration."  Except as  expressly  provided  herein,  no issuance by AT&T of
shares of stock of any class, or securities

                                       2

<PAGE>

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
subject to an Option.

            (b)  Dissolution  or  Liquidation.  In the  event  of  the  proposed
dissolution  or  liquidation  of (i) the Company or (ii) the Liberty Media Group
(as defined in the Merger  Agreement)  to the extent that an Option has not been
previously  exercised,  it shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation
of such proposed action.

            (c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger or other business
combination  affecting AT&T or any subsidiary thereof,  and, as a result of such
merger  or  business  combination,   the  Common  Stock  is  converted  into  or
mandatorily exchanged for securities of another entity,  outstanding Options may
be assumed or equivalent options may be substituted by the successor corporation
or a Parent or Subsidiary thereof (the "Successor Corporation"). If an Option is
assumed or substituted for, the Option or equivalent option shall continue to be
exercisable  as provided in Section 4 hereof for so long as the Optionee  serves
as a  Director  or a  director  of the  Successor  Corporation.  Following  such
assumption or substitution,  if the Optionee's  status as a Director or director
of the Successor  Corporation,  as applicable,  is terminated  other than upon a
voluntary  resignation by the Optionee,  the Option or option shall become fully
exercisable,  including  as to  Shares  for  which it  would  not  otherwise  be
exercisable.  Thereafter,  the  Option or option  shall  remain  exercisable  in
accordance with Sections 8(c) through (e) above.

      If the Successor Corporation does not assume an outstanding Option or
substitute for it an equivalent option, the Option shall become fully vested and
exercisable, including as to Shares for which it would not otherwise be
exercisable. In such event the Board shall notify the Optionee that the Option
shall be fully exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
such notice, and upon the expiration of such period the Option shall terminate.

      For the purposes of this Section 10(c), an Option shall be considered
assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the Option confers the right
to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option
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).

      6. Section 13 of the Former Plan is hereby amended to read in its
entirety:

            "13. Reservation of Shares. AT&T, pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
has agreed that Shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of
this Plan will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable."

      7. The first paragraph of Section 2(b) of the Four Media Company 1997
Amended and Restated Director Stock Option Agreement, which is attached to the
1997 Director Stock Option Plan, is hereby amended to read in its entirety:

            "(b) Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by written
notice (in the form  attached as Exhibit B) which  shall  state the  election to
exercise the Option, the number

                                       3

<PAGE>


of Shares in  respect  of which the  Option is being  exercised,  and such other
representations and agreements as to the holder's investment intent with respect
to such shares of Common Stock as may be required by the Company pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan.  Such written notice shall be signed by the Optionee and
shall be  delivered  in  person or by  certified  mail to the  Secretary  of the
Company.  The written  notice  shall be  accompanied  by payment of the Exercise
Price,  if applicable.  This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt
by the Company of such written  notice  accompanied  by the Exercise  Price,  if
applicable."

      8. The following sentence of Section 11(c) of the Four Media Company 1997
Stock Option Agreement, which is attached to the 1997 Director Stock Option
Plan, is hereby deleted in its entirety, because it is no longer applicable:

      "However, if such Shares are held for more than one year but less than 18
months, any gain will be treated as a mid-term gain."

      9. Exhibit A to the Four Media Company 1997 Stock Option Agreement, which
is attached to the 1997 Director Stock Option Plan, is hereby deleted in its
entirety and is replaced with Exhibit A attached to this First Amendment.

      10. This First Amendment shall be and is hereby incorporated in and forms
a part of the 1997 Director Stock Option Plan.

      11. All other terms and provisions of the 1997 Director Stock Option Plan
shall remain unchanged except as specifically modified herein.

      12. The 1997 Director Stock Option Plan, as amended by this First
Amendment, is hereby ratified and confirmed.

      13. This First Amendment shall be interpreted and enforced under the
internal laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of laws
thereof.
