During the last five years, neither Intuit nor, to the best of Intuit's
knowledge, any person named in this Item 2 has been: (a) convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); or (b) a
party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction as a result of which, he, she or it was or is subject to a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting
or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
The shares reported in lines 7 and 9 of the cover page were originally
purchased by Intuit on June 25, 1997 pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement
dated as of June 11, 1997 between the Issuer and Intuit (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement"). Intuit purchased a total of 5,800,000 shares of the Issuer's Common
Stock (the "Shares") pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, and is filing
this Amendment No. 1 to reflect the disposition of 450,000 Shares. The source of
funds for the initial purchase of the Shares was Intuit's working capital. None
of the funds used to purchase the Shares consisted of funds or other
consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring,
holding, trading or voting the Shares.
<PAGE> 6
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Intuit purchased the Shares in June 1997 for investment purposes in
connection with a strategic relationship with the Issuer to develop and provide
content for a personal finance "channel" on the Internet search and retrieval
services operated by the Issuer.
(a) On January 19, 1999, the Issuer and At Home Corporation ("At
Home") announced a proposed merger in which At Home would
acquire all of the outstanding stock of the Issuer. In
connection with the proposed merger, on January 19, 1999, Intuit
and At Home entered into a Common Stock Voting Agreement (the
"Voting Agreement") in which Intuit agreed to vote the Shares in
favor of the proposed merger and agreed not to transfer any of
the Shares unless each transferee executes a counterpart to the
Voting Agreement. See Item 6 for a more detailed description of
the Voting Agreement.
Intuit sold 450,000 Shares from February 22 through February 24,
1999, as described in Item 5(c). As a condition to those sales,
the purchasers of the Shares agreed to be bound by the terms of
the Voting Agreement. Intuit has made a financial investment
decision to dispose of the remaining Shares over time, as
appropriate opportunities become available, and is currently
evaluating several such opportunities. Intuit has no present
plans or proposals to acquire any additional securities of the
Issuer. In addition, because Intuit now owns less than 10% of
the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, Intuit no longer has any
rights to acquire any additional securities of the Issuer
pursuant to the Right of First Refusal Agreement described in
Item 6.
Except as noted above, Intuit does not presently have any plans
or proposals that relate to or would result in the acquisition
by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the
disposition of securities of the Issuer.
(b) Except as noted in paragraph (a) above, Intuit does not
presently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would
result in an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or
any of its subsidiaries.
(c) Except as noted in paragraph (a) above, Intuit does not
presently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would
result in a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of
the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries.
(d) Because Intuit now owns less than 10% of the Issuer's
outstanding Common Stock, Intuit no longer has any rights under
the Nomination and Observer Agreement described in Item 6 to
appoint any members of the Issuer's Board of Directors or to
attend meetings of the Issuer's Board as an observer. Except as
noted in paragraph (a) above, Intuit does not presently have any
plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any changes
in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer,
including any changes in the number or term of directors or the
filling of any existing vacancies on the Board of Directors.
<PAGE> 7
(e) Except as noted in paragraph (a) above, Intuit does not
presently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would
result in any material change in the present capitalization or
dividend policy of the Issuer.
(f) Except as noted in paragraph (a) above, Intuit does not
presently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would
result in any other material change in the Issuer's business or
corporate structure.
(g) Except as noted in paragraph (a) above, Intuit does not
presently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would
result in changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the
acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person.
(h) Except as noted in paragraph (a) above, Intuit does not
presently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would
result in a class of securities of the Issuer being delisted
from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized
to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered
national securities association.
(i) Except as noted in paragraph (a) above, Intuit does not
presently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would
result in a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section
12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(j) Except as noted in paragraph (a) above, Intuit does not
presently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would
result in an action similar to any of those enumerated above.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, Intuit beneficially owns
a total of 5,350,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock,
representing approximately 9.94% of the Issuer's outstanding
shares of Common Stock (53,829,408 shares as of January 29,
1999, as reported in the Issuer's Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1998, filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 9, 1999). To the best of
Intuit's knowledge, no person named in Item 2 is the beneficial
owner of any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as of the date
of this Amendment No. 1, except that William V. Campbell is the
beneficial owner of 1,676 shares.
(b) Subject to the Voting Agreement described in Item 6, Intuit has
sole power to vote and to direct the vote of, and sole power to
dispose or to direct the disposition of, all 5,350,000 shares of
the Issuer's Common Stock that it beneficially owns on the date
of this Amendment No. 1. With respect to the 1,676 shares owned
by Mr. Campbell, he has sole power to vote and to direct the
vote of, and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition
of 1,292 shares, and shared power to vote and to direct the vote
of, and shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of,
384 shares (power is shared with his spouse).
<PAGE> 8
(c) Intuit sold 450,000 Shares from February 22 through February 24,
1999 in brokers' transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The
Shares were sold at an average price of $94.13 per share (net of
brokers' commissions). As a condition to those sales, the
purchasers of the Shares agreed to be bound by the terms of the
Voting Agreement. Intuit has not effected any other transactions
in the Issuer's Common Stock during the past 60 days. To the
best of Intuit's knowledge, no person named in Item 2 has
effected any transactions in the Issuer's Common Stock during
the past 60 days except as follows: Eric Dunn sold 1,596 shares
on February 1, 1999 in open market transactions at an average
price of $120.38 per share. David Kinser sold 500 shares on
January 6, 1999 in open market transactions at a price of
$48.44 per share. Scott Cook sold 3,730 shares on January 13,
1999 in open market transactions at a price of $67.82 per share.
(d) No other person is known to Intuit to have the right to receive
or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or
proceeds from the sale of, any shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by Intuit on the date of this Amendment No.
1.
(e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The Stock Purchase Agreement between Intuit and the Issuer contained
certain "standstill" obligations of Intuit with respect to the Shares, and also
restricted Intuit's ability to resell the Shares. However, under the terms of
the Stock Purchase Agreement, these standstill obligations terminated, and the
resale restrictions were suspended, when the Issuer entered into merger
discussions with At Home.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
Intuit and the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated
as of June 25, 1997 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), which provides, among
other things, certain registration rights with respect to the Shares and any
shares of Issuer's Common Stock issued pursuant to the Right of First Refusal
Agreement described below. However, the Registration Rights Agreement will
terminate when all of the Shares may be sold within a three-month period under
Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT
Pursuant to a Right of First Refusal Agreement dated as of June 25, 1997
between the Issuer and Intuit, Intuit was granted a right of first refusal to
participate in certain issuances of Issuer's securities so long as Intuit holds
at least 10% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock (including shares issuable
upon conversion of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock). Because Intuit no
longer owns at least 10% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, Intuit no
longer has any rights of first refusal under the Right of First Refusal
Agreement.
<PAGE> 9
NOMINATION AND OBSERVER AGREEMENT
Pursuant to a Nomination and Observer Agreement between Intuit and the
Issuer dated as of June 25, 1997, so long as Intuit held no less than 10% of the
outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, the Issuer was required to
permit one representative of Intuit to attend all meetings of the Board of
Directors of the Issuer in a non-voting observer capacity. Alternatively, Intuit
had the right to designate one nominee for election to the Issuer's Board of
Directors. Because Intuit now owns less than 10% of the Issuer's outstanding
Common Stock, Intuit no longer has any rights to attend Board meetings or
nominate Board members under the Nomination and Observer Agreement.
COMMON STOCK VOTING AGREEMENT
Intuit and At Home entered into the Common Stock Voting Agreement (the
"Voting Agreement") in connection with the proposed merger of At Home
Corporation and the Issuer. Under the terms of the Voting Agreement, Intuit has
agreed that the shares held by it (either shares owned of record or shares
beneficially owned over which Intuit exercises voting power) shall be voted (i)
in favor of adoption and approval of the merger agreement between At Home and
the Issuer and approval of the merger and (ii) against approval of (a) any
proposal made in opposition to or in competition with the consummation of the
merger, (b) any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, reorganization or
recapitalization with any party other than At Home or its affiliates or (c) any
liquidation or winding up of Issuer. Intuit has agreed that until the earlier of
the termination of the Voting Agreement or the Record Date (as defined in the
Voting Agreement), and subject to certain requirements, Intuit will not transfer
any of the Subject Securities (as defined in the Voting Agreement), unless each
transferee to which any of the Subject Securities, or any interest in any such
Subject Securities, is or may be transferred executes a counterpart to the
Voting Agreement and agrees in writing to hold such Subject Securities (or
interest in any of such Subject Securities) subject to the terms and provisions
of the Voting Agreement.

COMPANY VOTING AGREEMENT
This Company Voting Agreement ("AGREEMENT") is made and entered into as of
January 19, 1999, between At Home Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("PARENT"), and the undersigned stockholder ("STOCKHOLDER") of Excite, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY").
RECITALS
A. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent, the
Company and Countdown Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("MERGER SUB"), are entering into an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of January 19, 1999 (the "MERGER
AGREEMENT") which provides for the merger (the "MERGER") of Merger Sub with and
into the Company. Pursuant to the Merger, shares of capital stock of the
Company will be converted into Class A Common Stock of Parent on the basis
described in the Merger Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.
B. Stockholder is the record holder of such number of outstanding shares
of Company Common Stock as is indicated on the final page of this Agreement.
C. As a material inducement to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent
desires Stockholder to agree, and Stockholder is willing to agree, to vote the
Shares (as defined below), and such other shares of capital stock of the
Company over which Stockholder has voting power, so as to facilitate
consummation of the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Agreement to Vote Shares.
1.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
"SHARES" shall mean all issued and outstanding shares of Company Common
Stock owned of record or beneficially (over which beneficially-owned shares
Stockholder exercises voting power) by Stockholder as of the record date for
persons entitled (a) to receive notice of, and to vote at the meeting of the
stockholders of the Company called for the purpose of voting on the matter
referred to in Section 1.2, or (b) to take action by written consent of the
stockholders of the Company with respect to the matter referred to in Section
1.2. Stockholder agrees that any shares of capital stock of the Company that
Stockholder purchases or with respect to which Stockholder otherwise acquires
beneficial ownership (over which beneficially-owned shares
<PAGE> 2
Stockholder exercises voting power) after the execution of this Agreement and
prior to the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6 below
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same
extent as if they constituted Shares on the date hereof.
"SUBJECT SECURITIES" shall mean: (i) all securities of the Company
(including all shares of Company Common Stock and all options, warrants and
other rights to acquire shares of Company Common Stock) beneficially owned by
Stockholder as of the date of this Agreement; and (ii) all additional
securities of Company (including all additional shares of Company Common Stock
and all additional options, warrants and other rights to acquire shares of
Company Common Stock) of which Stockholder acquires ownership during the period
from the date of this Agreement through the earlier of termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 3 below or the record date for the meeting at
which stockholders of the Company are asked to vote upon adoption and approval
of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger (the "RECORD DATE").
Stockholder shall be deemed to have effected a "TRANSFER" of a security if
Stockholder directly or indirectly: (i) sells, pledges, encumbers, transfers or
disposes of, or grants an option with respect to, such security or any interest
in such security; or (ii) enters into an agreement or commitment providing for
the sale, pledge, encumbrance, transfer or disposition of, or grant of an option
with respect to, such security or any interest therein. Stockholder shall not be
deemed to have effected a "Transfer" of a security by virtue of entering into a
merger, consolidation or other business combination of any nature with another
entity or entities.
1.2 Agreement to Vote Shares. Until the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 3 below, at every meeting of the stockholders of
the Company called with respect to any of the following, and at every
adjournment thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the
stockholders of the Company with respect to any of the following, Stockholder
shall cause the Shares to be voted (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the
Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and (ii) against approval of (a)
any proposal made in opposition to or in competition with consummation of the
Merger, (b) any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, reorganization or
recapitalization with any party other than Parent or its affiliates or (c) any
liquidation or winding up of the Company.
1.3 No Transfer of Subject Securities. Until the earlier of
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 3 below or the Record Date,
except as may be required by (i) the foreclosure on any encumbrance secured by
such Subject Securities as of the date hereof or (ii) court order, Stockholder
agrees not to Transfer any of the Subject Securities, unless each transferee to
which any of such Subject Securities, or any interest in any of such Subject
Securities, is or may be Transferred shall have executed a counterpart of this
Agreement and agreed in writing to hold such Subject Securities (or interest in
any of such Subject Securities) subject to all of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
2. Representations and Warranties of Stockholder. Stockholder (i) is the
record owner of the shares of Company Common Stock indicated on the final page
of this Agreement,
-2-
<PAGE> 3
which at the date hereof are free and clear of any liens, claims, options,
charges or other encumbrances that would adversely affect the ability of
Stockholder to carry out the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) has full
corporate power and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of
this Agreement.
3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and shall have no further
force or effect as of the first to occur of (i) September 30, 1999, (ii) such

4. Miscellaneous.
4.1 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of
this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void
or unenforceable, then the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall
in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
4.2 Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement and all of the
provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but, except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the

either of the parties without prior written consent of the other.
4.3 Amendments and Modification. This Agreement may not be modified,
amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a
written agreement executed by the parties hereto.
4.4 Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto
acknowledge that Parent will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no
adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of the covenants or agreements of
Stockholder set forth herein. Therefore, it is agreed that, in addition to any
other remedies that may be available to Parent upon any such violation, Parent
shall have the right to enforce such covenants and agreements by specific
performance, injunctive relief or by any other means available to Parent at law
or in equity.
