Summary of the Merger
The Agreement and Plan of Merger provides that our new subsidiary, Sapphire
Merger, Inc., will merge into PaylinX, with PaylinX surviving as a wholly-owned
subsidiary corporation of CyberSource. As a result of
i
<PAGE>
the merger, each stockholder of PaylinX will receive one and two-tenths (1.2)
shares of our common stock for each share of PaylinX common stock or share of
PaylinX preferred stock held by that stockholder immediately prior to the
merger. In the merger, a total of approximately 8.46 million shares of our
common stock (subject to adjustment for changes in the outstanding capital
stock of PaylinX) will be issued to the PaylinX stockholders. In addition, upon
consummation of the merger, we will take on the obligation to issue
approximately 2.85 million shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment
for changes in the outstanding options) to holders of options to purchase
PaylinX common stock. The options will be converted into options to purchase
shares of our common stock based on the exchange ratio used in the merger for
the issuance of our common stock for PaylinX stock. Further, we will take on
the obligation to issue approximately 17,000 shares of our common stock upon
exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase PaylinX stock. You should read the
Agreement and Plan of Merger carefully, which qualifies the summary below.
. We will exchange approximately 8.46 million shares of our common stock
for all of PaylinX's outstanding shares of stock, which will then be
cancelled. On July 9, 2000, PaylinX had 2,184,931 shares of common stock
and 4,868,119 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Any change in the
number of shares of PaylinX stock outstanding prior to the merger will
result in an appropriate adjustment in the number of shares of our common
stock to be issued in the merger. The procedure for the exchange of our
stock for PaylinX stock is explained in greater detail on page 13 under
the caption "What Consideration Will We Pay to the PaylinX Stockholders,
Option Holders and Warrant Holders?"
. Options to purchase shares of PaylinX common stock that have been issued
to employees of PaylinX will be converted into options to purchase shares
of CyberSource common stock, using the same exchange ratio as in the
merger. On July 9, 2000 there were outstanding options to purchase
2,375,317 shares of PaylinX common stock. All of these options will be
converted upon completion of the merger into options to purchase, based
on the exchange ratio used in the merger for the issuance of our common
stock for PaylinX common stock, shares of our common stock, subject to
the terms of the PaylinX Corporation 2000 Stock Option Plan. The
procedure for the assumption of the options is more fully explained on
page 13 under the caption "What Consideration Will We Pay to the PaylinX
Stockholders, Option Holders and Warrant Holders?"
. We will issue approximately 17,000 shares of our common stock upon
exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase PaylinX stock. For more
information, please read the section entitled "What Consideration Will We
Pay to the PaylinX Stockholders, Option Holders and Warrant Holders?" on
page 13 of this document.
. Because we are issuing more than 20% of our currently outstanding shares
of common stock in the merger, under the listing rules of The Nasdaq
Stock Market, we are required to seek your approval for the issuance of
our common stock. Please read the section entitled "Why is My Approval
Necessary?" on page 24 of this document.
. Under Delaware law, you do not have appraisal rights in connection with
this transaction, as explained more fully on page 24 under the caption
"Do I Have Any Rights if I Do Not Approve the Proposal?"
. Your rights as a stockholder of CyberSource will not change following the
merger. In addition, PaylinX's stockholders, who will become new
stockholders of CyberSource, will have the same rights as you do. Please
refer to the section entitled "Will My Rights as a CyberSource
Stockholder Change Following the Merger?" on page 24 of this document.
Federal Tax Treatment
. The merger and exchange of stock is intended to be a tax-free
reorganization for CyberSource, Sapphire Merger, Inc. and PaylinX under
the Internal Revenue Code, as explained more fully on page 25 under the
caption "How Will the Merger be Treated for Federal Income Tax Purposes?"
ii
<PAGE>
Accounting Treatment
. The merger will be accounted for by us as a purchase of a business. This
means that, for accounting and financial reporting purposes, the assets
and liabilities of PaylinX will be recorded at their fair value, and any
excess of CyberSource's purchase price over the fair value of PaylinX's
tangible net assets will be recorded as intangible assets, including
goodwill. For further information, see "How Will the Merger be Treated
for Accounting Purposes?" on page 25.
Conditions to the Merger
The completion of the merger depends upon the satisfaction of a number of
conditions, including, but not limited to, the following:
. Approval by our stockholders of Proposal 1, authorizing the issuance of
our shares of common stock in the merger;
. Approval of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by the stockholders of
PaylinX; and
. Receipt of a favorable determination by the Commission of the California
Department of Corporations that the terms and conditions of the merger
are fair or, alternatively, the filing with and acceptance by the
Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement on Form S-
4 to register the shares we will issue in the merger.
For further information, see "What is the Structure of the Merger?--
Conditions to the Acquisition" on page 10.
Possible Termination of Transaction
Either we or PaylinX may call off the merger under certain circumstances,
including, but not limited to, if:
. We both consent;
. The other party breaches in a material manner any of the representations
and warranties or any covenant or agreement that it has made under the
Agreement and Plan of Merger;
. There is a valid injunction or prohibition against the merger issued by a
court or government agency;
. The merger is not completed on or before November 30, 2000;
. Our stockholders do not approve Proposal 1; or
. In connection with an alternative transaction for PaylinX, as described
in more detail below.
For further information, see "What is the Structure of the Merger?--
Termination of the Transaction" on page 11.
Completion of Merger
The merger will become effective when we file a Certificate of Merger with
the Delaware Secretary of State, which will occur as soon as practicable
following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the merger.

A WARNING ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
We have made forward-looking statements in this document, and in certain
documents that we refer to in this document, that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our
management and on information currently available to our management. Forward-
looking statements include the information concerning possible or assumed
future results of operations of CyberSource set forth under "Proposal 1--What
is the Background of this Transaction?" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Financial Statements," and statements preceded by, followed by or that
include the words "will," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends,"
"plans," "estimates" or similar expressions. In particular, we have made
statements in this document regarding the anticipated effect of the acquisition
and our anticipated performance in future periods. Such statements are subject
to risks relating, among other things, to the following:
. Our revenues and earnings following the merger may be lower than
expected, or operating costs or customer or key employee losses and
business disruption following the acquisition may be greater than
expected;
. We may experience greater than expected costs or difficulties relating to
the integration of our business with that of PaylinX;
. We may encounter difficulties in managing our growth which could
adversely affect our results of operations;
. Increased competitive pressures, both domestically and internationally,
including pressures that result from the issuance of patents or other
intellectual property to our competitors, may affect the sales of our
services and impede our ability to maintain our market share and pricing
goals;
. Changes in United States, global or regional economic conditions may
affect the sale of our services and increase our costs associated with
providing such services;
. Changes in laws or regulations, including increased government regulation
of the Internet and privacy related issues, third party relations and
approvals, decisions of courts, regulators and governmental bodies, may
adversely affect our business or ability to compete; and
. Other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in our
public announcements and Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
Our management believes that these forward-looking statements are
reasonable. You should not, however, place undue reliance on such forward-
looking statements, which are based on current expectations.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve
risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results and stockholder values
following completion of the acquisition may differ materially from those
expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will
determine these results and values are beyond our ability to control or
predict.
iv
<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risk factors before you decide
whether to vote to approve the issuance of shares in the merger. You should
also consider the other information in this proxy statement and the additional
information in our other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and in the other documents incorporated by reference in this proxy
statement.
Our stock price is volatile and the value of our common stock issued in the
merger will depend on its market price at the time of the merger, and no
adjustment will be made as a result of changes in the market price of our
common stock.
At the closing of the merger, each share of PaylinX stock will be exchanged
for one and two-tenths (1.2) shares of our common stock. This exchange ratio
will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of our common stock, and
neither we nor PaylinX may renegotiate the merger agreement on the basis of
such changes.
The market price of our common stock, like that of the shares of many other
high technology and Internet companies, has been, and will likely continue to
be, volatile. For example, during the preceding twelve (12) months, our common
stock traded as high as $70.50 per share and as low as $6.93 per share.
Recently, the stock market in general and the shares of Internet companies
in particular have experienced significant price fluctuations. The market price
of our common stock may continue to fluctuate significantly in response to
various factors, including:
. announcements of mergers and
. quarterly variations in operating acquisitions and other actions by
results or growth rates; competitors;
. the announcement of technological . regulatory and judicial actions;
innovations;
. general economic conditions;
. the introduction of new products;
. patents and other intellectual
. changes in estimates by securities property rights issued to our
analysts; competitors; and
. market conditions in the industry; . announcements of mergers and
acquisitions by us.
We may face challenges in integrating PaylinX and, as a result, may not realize
the expected benefits of the anticipated merger.
Integrating our operations and personnel with those of PaylinX will be a
complex process, and we are uncertain that the integration will be completed
rapidly or will achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. The successful
integration of CyberSource and PaylinX will require, among other things,
integration of the respective finance, human resources and sales and marketing
groups and coordination of development efforts. The diversion of the attention
of our management and any difficulties encountered in the process of combining
the companies could cause the disruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the
activities of our business. Further, the process of combining CyberSource and
PaylinX could negatively affect employee morale and our ability to retain some
of our key employees after the merger.
If we do not successfully integrate PaylinX or the merger's benefits do not
meet the expectations of financial or industry analysts, the market price of
our common stock may decline.
The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the merger
if:
. the integration of CyberSource and PaylinX is unsuccessful;
. we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the merger as rapidly as, or
to the extent anticipated by, financial or industry analysts; or
v
<PAGE>
. the effect of the merger on our financial results is not consistent with
the expectations of financial or industry analysts.
Failure to complete the merger could negatively impact the market price of our
common stock and our operating results.
If the merger is not completed for any reason, we may be subject to a number
of material risks, including:
. the market price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the
current market price of our common stock reflects a market assumption
that the merger will be completed; and
. costs related to the merger, such as legal and accounting fees, must be
paid even if the merger is not completed.
Costs of the merger may be higher than expected, which would lower our
earnings. In addition, the costs of the merger are not all presently known, and
we may incur charges against earnings in subsequent quarters to reflect merger-
related costs.
We expect to incur charges against earnings to reflect transaction-related
expenses. We also expect to incur integration costs, the amount of which is
uncertain at this time, subsequent to the consummation of the merger.
The issuance of our common stock in the merger may be dilutive to our
stockholders.
The issuance of our common stock in the merger may have the effect of
reducing our net income per share from levels otherwise expected and could
reduce the market price of our common stock, unless the combined company can
achieve revenue growth or cost savings and other business synergies sufficient
to offset the dilutive effect of issuing stock in the merger. Although both
companies believe that beneficial synergies will result from the merger, the
combining of the two company's businesses, even if achieved in an efficient,
effective and timely manner, may not result in better combined results of
operations and financial condition than would have been achieved by each
company independently.

PROXY STATEMENT
----------------
For the Special Meeting of Stockholders
To be held on September 15, 2000
----------------
GENERAL INFORMATION
This proxy statement contains information about our special meeting of
stockholders to be held on Friday, September 15, 2000 at our corporate
headquarters at 1295 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California, at 10:00 a.m.
and any postponements or adjournments thereof.
Why Did You Send Me This Proxy Statement?
We sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because our
Board of Directors is soliciting your votes for use at the Special Meeting of
Stockholders.
This proxy statement summarizes information that you need to know in order
to cast an informed vote at the meeting. However, you do not need to attend the
meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return
the enclosed proxy card.
We will begin sending this proxy statement, notice of special meeting and
the enclosed proxy card on or about August 17, 2000 to all stockholders
entitled to vote. Those entitled to vote are stockholders of record on August
1, 2000. On August 1, 2000, there were 26,065,410 shares of our common stock
outstanding.
What Constitutes a Quorum?
To establish a quorum at the special meeting, a majority of the shares of
our common stock outstanding on the record date must be present, either in
person or by proxy. We will count abstentions and broker non-votes for purposes
of establishing the presence of a quorum at the meeting.
What Vote Is Required for Each Proposal?
. Issuance of Shares in the Merger. The proposal to approve the issuance of
shares in the merger must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of
our shares of common stock represented and voting at the meeting. If you
are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and abstain
from voting, it has the same effect as if you voted against this
proposal. In addition, if you do not instruct your broker on how to vote
on this proposal, your broker will not be able to vote for you. Those
shares for which brokers are not able to vote will not be considered
voting at the special meeting and for purposes of approving this
proposal.
. Amendment of CyberSource's 1999 Stock Option Plan. The proposal to amend
our 1999 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares of common
stock reserved for issuance under the plan must receive the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented and
voting at the meeting. If you are present in person or represented by
proxy at the meeting and abstain from voting, it has the same effect as
if you voted against this proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted
as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

<PAGE>
What Are the Recommendations of the Board of Directors?
Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved the following items:
. issuance of our common stock in the merger; and
. the amendment of our 1999 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of
shares of common stock reserved thereunder for future issuance.
We believe that the merger and the related transactions are fair to and in
the best interests of CyberSource and our stockholders. The Board of Directors
therefore unanimously recommends that you vote FOR approval of the issuance of
our common stock in the merger.
We believe that the amendment of our 1999 Stock Option Plan is in the best
interests of CyberSource and our stockholders. The Board of Directors therefore
unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the amendment of our 1999 Stock Option
Plan.
How Many Votes Do I Have?
Each share of our common stock that you own entitles you to one vote on each
proposal. The proxy card indicates the number of shares that you own.
How Do I Vote by Proxy?
Whether you plan to attend the meeting or not, we urge you to complete, sign
and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope
provided. Returning the proxy card will not affect your right to vote in person
at the meeting.
If you properly fill in your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote,
your "proxy" (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your
shares as you direct on each proposal. If you sign the proxy card but do not
make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the
Board of Directors as follows:
. FOR the issuance of our common stock in the merger; and
. FOR the amendment of our 1999 Stock Option Plan.
Can I Change My Vote After I Return My Proxy Card?
Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy, you may change your vote at
any time before the proxy is exercised if:
. you file either a written revocation of your proxy, or a duly executed
proxy bearing a later date, with our Corporate Secretary prior to the
meeting; or
. you attend the meeting and vote in person. Presence at the meeting will
not revoke your proxy unless and until you vote in person.
However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other
nominee, and you wish to vote in person, you must bring an account statement
and a letter of authorization from your nominee so that you can vote your
shares.
How Will CyberSource Executive Officers and Directors Vote?
On the record date of August 1, 2000, our executive officers and directors,
including their affiliates, had voting power with respect to an aggregate of
7,846,366 shares of our common stock, or approximately 18.7% of the shares of
our common stock then-outstanding. We currently expect that these directors and
officers, including their affiliates, will vote all of their shares in favor of
each of the proposals.

<PAGE>
What Are the Costs of Solicitation of Proxies?
We will bear the cost of solicitation of proxies from our stockholders and

DISCUSSION OF PROPOSALS RECOMMENDED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
PROPOSAL 1:
APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE MERGER WITH
PAYLINX CORPORATION
General
We have approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger which provides that our new
subsidiary, Sapphire Merger, Inc., will merge with and into PaylinX
Corporation. PaylinX, as the surviving corporation in the merger, will become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CyberSource. As a result of the merger, the
stockholders of PaylinX will receive approximately 8.46 million shares of our
common stock. We seek your approval to issue our shares of common stock in the
merger. The summary information provided below is provided to assist you in
making an informed voting decision and is qualified in its entirety by the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, which we have included as Annex A to this proxy
statement. We encourage you to carefully read the entire Agreement and Plan of
Merger.
Who Are the Parties to the Merger?
CyberSource Corporation and Sapphire Merger, Inc.
We are a leading developer and provider of eCommerce transaction services
and a pioneer in the area of Internet fraud detection. More than 2,200
businesses in more than 26 countries have chosen to use the CyberSource
Internet Commerce Suite. The CyberSource Internet Commerce Suite offers
customer-controlled, real-time services, including Payment Services, Tax
Services, Risk Management Services, Distribution Control Services, Stored Value
Services and Fulfillment Management Services. CyberSource Global Professional
Services develops comprehensive eCommerce solutions that are built upon our
mission-critical transaction services and tailored to each customer environment
to provide security, reliability, and extensibility for rapid growth. Our
services enable online businesses to focus their resources on areas where they
can most effectively differentiate themselves, such as marketing, Web site
content, merchandising and customer support. By outsourcing their eCommerce
transaction processing needs to us, online businesses can speed their time to
market, reduce their overall operating costs and process orders from around the
world in local currencies. Our services are comprehensive, scalable (adaptable
to meet increases in the number of transactions), highly reliable and performed
via a secure messaging protocol, or transmission format.
As the Internet has become an important communications medium, online
businesses and consumers have embraced using the Internet to buy and sell goods
and services. To succeed online, an online business must attract customers to
its Web site and provide an appealing and easy-to-use environment that
encourages customers to place an order by clicking on the "buy" button. Once
the customer places an order, the online business must then process the order
by effectively and efficiently executing numerous transactions, such as credit
card authorization, calculation of sales tax and fulfillment of the order,
often while the customer is waiting.
While early adopters of eCommerce business models often developed custom
transaction processing systems, today many online businesses are seeking to
outsource their transaction processing requirements. Our services offer online
businesses a solution to the challenges of eCommerce transaction processing.
Key benefits of our services include:
. Faster time-to-market,
. Access to a comprehensive suite of services,
. Enhanced customer flexibility and control,
. Global reach, and
. Reduced overall costs.

<PAGE>
In the event the Agreement and Plan of Merger is terminated by mutual
consent of the parties, with some exceptions, each party will pay its own
expenses incurred in connection with the merger.
PaylinX will be obligated to pay us a fee of 2% of the aggregate value of
the merger in the event we terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger for any

representations and warranties and the breach is not cured, or the merger
is not consummated on or before November 30, 2000, and in either event an
alternative transaction resulting in the acquisition of PaylinX is
consummated within 12 months of the date of the Agreement and Plan of
Merger;
. We terminate the agreement as a result of the PaylinX Board of Directors
changing its unanimous recommendation of the merger, recommendation of an
alternative transaction to the PaylinX stockholders, or recommendation
that the PaylinX stockholders tender their shares pursuant to a tender
offer with respect to 15% or more of the outstanding PaylinX capital
stock; or
. PaylinX terminates the agreement as a result of its receipt of a superior
proposal prior to the vote to approve the merger by its stockholders.
Indemnification; Escrow
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, 10% of the shares of our
common stock to be issued in connection with the merger will be placed in
escrow for a period of one year. The shares will be contributed to the fund by
the PaylinX stockholders on a pro rata basis according to their ownership
interests in PaylinX immediately prior to the merger. The purpose of the escrow
is to provide the means for us to recover any amounts owed to us pursuant to
PaylinX's agreement to indemnify us. A separate escrow agreement among us, an
independent escrow agent and an agent appointed to represent the interests of
the PaylinX stockholders will provide the mechanism by which obligations owed
as a result of the indemnification will be recovered. The value of the shares
held in the escrow fund will be the average closing price of our common stock
as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the ten consecutive trading days
ending on the day before the merger closes. Any shares still held in the escrow
fund at the end of one year and not required to resolve any claims pending at
that time will be released to the PaylinX stockholders on the same pro rata
basis as they were contributed to the fund.
The PaylinX stockholders have agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless
against any damages that we incur by reason of the breach or alleged breach by
PaylinX of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of PaylinX
contained in the Agreement and Plan of Merger or in any document or certificate
delivered by PaylinX pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger up to the
aggregate value of the escrow fund. This indemnification will be our sole and
exclusive remedy for any breach by PaylinX. We have also agreed to indemnify
and hold the PaylinX stockholders harmless against any damages that the PaylinX
stockholders have incurred by reason of the breach or alleged breach by us or
Sapphire Merger, Inc. of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of
us or Sapphire Merger, Inc. contained in the Agreement and Plan of Merger up to
the aggregate value of the escrow fund. This indemnification will be the
PaylinX stockholders' sole and exclusive remedy for any breach by us or
Sapphire Merger, Inc.
Covenants; Conduct of Business Prior to Completion of the Merger
During the period from the date of the Agreement and Plan of Merger until
the time the merger is consummated or the Agreement and Plan of Merger is
terminated, unless we agree otherwise, PaylinX will not take any action, except
in the ordinary course of business, and will use its best efforts to preserve
its business organization substantially intact, keep available the services of
its present officers, employees and consultants, preserve its present
relationships with customers, suppliers and other persons with which it has
significant business relations and will not, directly or indirectly, do, or
propose to do, any of the following without our prior written consent:

Merger;

qualification of the merger as a reorganization under federal tax law; or
. take, or agree to take, any of the actions described above.
Amendment and Waiver of the Agreement and Plan of Merger
The Agreement and Plan of Merger may not be amended or modified, nor may any
conditions or obligations be waived, except in a written document signed by
each of the parties.
What Consideration Will We Pay to the PaylinX Stockholders, Option Holders and
Warrant Holders?
Each share of PaylinX common stock or preferred stock will be converted into
and exchanged for one and two-tenths (1.2) shares of our common stock. On July
9, 2000, there were 7,053,050 shares of PaylinX common stock and preferred
stock outstanding. Assuming this number does not change before we complete the
merger, we will issue a total of approximately 8.46 million shares of our
common stock to the stockholders of PaylinX.
In addition, we have agreed to assume all of PaylinX's stock options that
have been issued under PaylinX's 2000 Stock Option Plan. As of July 9, 2000,
PaylinX had outstanding options to purchase 2,375,317
13
<PAGE>
shares of common stock. When we complete the merger, all of these options will
be converted into options to purchase shares of our common stock under the
terms of the PaylinX Corporation 2000 Stock Option Plan based on the exchange
ratio used in the merger for the issuance of our common stock for PaylinX
stock.
We will also assume outstanding warrants to purchase 14,286 shares of
PaylinX common stock, which will be converted to warrants to purchase
approximately 17,000 shares of our common stock.
Are There Related Agreements?
PaylinX has entered into several agreements that include terms that will be
triggered by the merger. In addition, we and PaylinX have entered into
agreements with PaylinX employees and PaylinX investors in connection with
entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger. These agreements are summarized
below. In connection with the merger, PaylinX's Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer, John ("Jack") J. McDonnell, Jr., agreed to amend the option
agreement he currently has with PaylinX, which called for full acceleration of
the vesting upon the signing of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, to limit the
acceleration to one half of the unvested shares upon the closing of the merger.
The remainder of Mr. McDonnell's options will vest pursuant to the terms of
the original option agreement. In return, the period over which Mr. McDonnell
may exercise his options was extended and we agreed to further provide that
upon a removal from our Board, other than for "cause," or upon a failure to re-
elect Mr. McDonnell to our Board during the one-year period following the date
the merger is consummated, the unvested portion of his option will accelerate
fully.
Severance Agreements
Several of the PaylinX executives whose employment will be terminated upon
the closing of the merger are entitled to severance benefits under the terms of
their employment agreements with PaylinX. These benefits consist of the
executive's salary for the 180 day period following termination, any accrued
but unpaid bonus amounts, accrued but unpaid expenses and continuation of
medical plans and fringe benefits. We have agreed to assume the obligations
under these agreements following the merger.
Option Amendments
The PaylinX stock option plan provided that, upon the execution by PaylinX
of a definitive agreement to merge with another corporation, all unvested
options would accelerate and become fully vested. In connection with entering
into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the employees who will continue their
employment after the merger agreed to amend the terms of their options to delay
the acceleration of vesting so that half of the unvested options would vest at
closing and the remaining unvested options would continue to vest in accordance
with the original vesting schedule. The amendment provides that if the employee
is terminated without "cause" within a year of the merger closing, the option
accelerates fully, but thereafter acceleration of the options is governed by
our 1999 Stock Option Plan and related form of agreement. As consideration for
the employees entering into these option amendments, we agreed to grant the
employees options to purchase our common stock.
Noncompetition Agreements
In connection with the merger, selected PaylinX employees that hold PaylinX
stock or options to purchase PaylinX stock signed noncompetition agreements
providing that from the date the merger closes until 24 months after the
employee's termination of employment with PaylinX or us, the employee may not
be involved
14
<PAGE>
in a competitive business within any state of the United States where we
conduct business. The employee is also prohibited from attempting to induce our
employees to leave their employment and from interfering with customer
relationships. As consideration for entering into the noncompetition agreement,
the employee's option agreement was amended to provide that the period over
which the employee's options will be exercisable will be extended for 24 months
from the date the merger closes.
Lock-up Agreements
In connection with the merger, PaylinX employees that hold PaylinX capital
stock or options to purchase PaylinX stock and PaylinX's investors, owning
approximately 87% of the PaylinX capital stock, signed lock-up agreements.
Under the lock-up agreements, for a period of 180 days after the closing of the
merger, the signatories may not, without our prior written consent, sell or
transfer any interest in stock acquired in the merger, stock options, the
shares subject to the stock options, or in any of our other securities
subsequently acquired.
Voting Agreements
In connection with the merger, we also entered into voting agreements with
PaylinX's significant stockholders. These voting agreements obligate the
stockholders to vote their shares of PaylinX stock in favor of the merger and
prohibit them from selling or transferring their PaylinX stock until the
earlier of the closing of the merger or the termination of the Agreement and
Plan of Merger. In addition, the voting agreements grant us an irrevocable
proxy to vote the shares held by the stockholders in favor of the merger
proposal and to sign documents indicating approval. Stockholders holding
sufficient voting power to approve the merger proposal have signed voting
agreements.
What is the Background of this Transaction?
During the week of February 24, 2000, David D. Daetz, our Vice President of
Corporate Business Development--Worldwide, contacted Jack McDonnell, PaylinX's
Chief Executive Officer, to explore his interest in some form of business
relationship between the two companies.
On March 2, 2000, Mr. Daetz, Jack McDonnell and John J. McDonnell III,
PaylinX's Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, held a teleconference
to explore a relationship between PaylinX and CyberSource. During this
teleconference, Mr. Daetz ascertained that Jack McDonnell was interested in
further discussing a possible business combination.
On March 20, 2000, William S. McKiernan, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman, L. Evan Ellis, our President and Chief Operating Officer, and Mr.
Daetz met Jack McDonnell in Phoenix, Arizona, where, after signing a mutual
nondisclosure agreement, they provided a business overview of each company and
discussed a business combination.
On March 31, 2000, Messrs. McKiernan, Daetz and Thomas A. Arnold, our Chief
Technology Officer, met with Jack McDonnell, John McDonnell, Brian Bates,
PaylinX's President and Chief Operating Officer, Henry H. Graham, PaylinX's
Chief Financial Officer, Mark Belles, PaylinX's Vice President of Alliances,
and Ken Silver, PaylinX's Director of Business Development. During this
meeting, each company presented a corporate overview.
On April 4, 2000, Mr. Daetz sent John McDonnell a request to provide due
diligence information. On that same date, the parties signed a confidentiality
agreement with "no shop" and non-solicitation provisions.
During the month of April and the beginning of May, the parties performed
due diligence, including a meeting in St. Louis, Missouri on April 6, 2000 with
additional personnel from both CyberSource and PaylinX. During this same
period, the parties entered into negotiations of a definitive agreement.
15
<PAGE>
On May 10, 2000, the parties broke off discussions due to different views on
valuation of the proposed merger.
On June 1, 2000, the parties re-engaged in discussions, whereby Messrs.
McKiernan, Daetz and Charles E. Noreen, Jr., our Chief Financial Officer, had a
teleconference with Jack McDonnell to discuss PaylinX's May 2000 financials. On
June 19, 2000, the parties further discussed valuation of the proposed merger,
and continued due diligence activities and negotiations of a definitive
agreement over the next several weeks. On June 26 and 27, 2000, CyberSource
executives met with PaylinX employees in St. Louis to provide an overview of
CyberSource and discuss proposed roles and compensation should the business
combination occur.
On June 29, 2000, the Board of Directors of PaylinX met via teleconference,
reviewed the proposed Agreement and Plan of Merger and related transaction
documents, discussed with its financial advisor, Chase H&Q, the valuation of
the proposed merger, reviewed its fiduciary obligations and voted to approve
the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the merger.
On July 9, 2000, our Board of Directors met via teleconference, reviewed the
proposed Agreement and Plan of Merger, discussed with our financial advisor,
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., the valuation of the proposed merger, and voted to
approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the merger. CyberSource and
PaylinX then executed and exchanged the Agreement and Plan of Merger and
related transaction documents.
On July 10, 2000, we issued a press release announcing the signing of a
definitive agreement to acquire PaylinX.
What Are Our Reasons for the Merger?
We are a leading developer and provider of eCommerce transaction services,
and a pioneer in the area of Internet fraud detection. PaylinX pioneered the
concept of an "enterprise payment server," a single payment engine that meets
the needs of payment processing across an entire enterprise. We expect that the
acquisition will allow us to provide businesses selling through multiple
channels with an enterprise-wide payment software solution that has fully
integrated access to our suite of eCommerce transaction services.
Our Board of Directors, having concluded that the merger is fair to, and in
the best interests of, us and our stockholders, unanimously approved the merger
and all transactions and documents necessary to its consummation.
The decision by our Board of Directors was based on a thorough analysis of
each company's strengths and weaknesses. This analysis allowed our Board of
Directors to identify several potential benefits to us and our stockholders
that, if realized, could increase the strength of our business. Those benefits
include:
. the opportunity to expand our addressable market reach to support the
convergence of on-line and off-line commerce through multiple sales
channels: Web storefronts, call centers, interactive voice response
(IVR) systems, in-store point-of-sale systems and kiosks;
. PaylinX's enterprise payment software complements our outsourced payment
services, providing customers with the flexibility to choose the right
payment solution for their needs, whether in-house or outsourced, while
taking advantage of our integrated suite of value-added transaction
services;
. the opportunity for customers to leverage our Professional Services
capabilities necessary to build reliable, scalable enterprise solutions
that incorporate PaylinX's payment software;
. the opportunity to build greater critical mass of talent in the payment
industry, at both the Board of Director level and operating level;
. access to PaylinX's existing client base;
. the opportunity to take advantage of economies of scale that result from
serving a larger client base;
16
<PAGE>
. the opportunity to take advantage of economies of scope that result from
offering a broader range of products and services; and
. the chance to leverage the existing business relationships of each
entity.
Our Board of Directors reviewed a number of factors in evaluating the
merger, including, but not limited to the following:
. the terms and conditions of the merger;
. the value of the shares of our common stock to be issued in exchange for
the shares of PaylinX stock;
. historical information regarding our and PaylinX's business focus,
financial performance and condition, operations, technology and
management;
. information concerning our and PaylinX's respective businesses,
prospects, financial positions, results of operations, operations,
services, service development and technologies;
. information regarding comparable companies, including market prices of
the companies' stock, market capitalizations, revenues, ratios of
revenues to market price and other results of operations, based on
reported historical information and analysts' reports;
. information regarding reported acquisitions of other companies in the
eCommerce industry and other comparable acquisitions;
. an analysis of the relative value that each party might contribute to
the future business and prospects of the combined company;
. advice and detailed analysis of our financial adviser, J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc., including its written opinion dated as of the date of
the merger agreement, that the merger consideration was fair from a
financial point of view to our stockholders, as of the date of that
opinion;
. the compatibility of the businesses, services, technologies, management
and the administrative, sales and marketing and technical organizations
of us and PaylinX;
. the requirements for a successful integration of PaylinX's operations
with ours;
. the expectation that the merger will be a tax-free reorganization for
federal income tax purposes; and
. reports from management and legal advisors on the results of our due
diligence review and analysis of PaylinX.
Our Board of Directors also considered a number of factors that pose a risk
to the success of the combined entity. For a discussion of the existing risk
factors and their possible effect on the success of the merger, see "Risk
Factors" on page v of this document.
In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its
evaluation of the merger and the subjective nature of some of those factors,
our Board of Directors did not find it practicable to and did not quantify or
otherwise assign relative weight to the specific factors considered in reaching
its determination. In addition, individual members of our Board of Directors
may have given different weight to different factors.
As eCommerce continues its fast-paced growth, companies must develop a
multi-channel business model that incorporates both the Internet and offline
channels. By combining our technological expertise with that of PaylinX, as
well as each company's strong industry alliances, channel relationships and
professional services capabilities, we believe that the combined entity will be
poised to deliver a commerce infrastructure that bridges the physical and
virtual worlds. The addition of a software solution to our Internet Commerce
Suite
17
<PAGE>
will give businesses the option to deploy an in-house payment system or
leverage our existing suite of outsourced services or a combination thereof
(e.g., in-house payment and outsourced fraud screening). This is particularly
important for established businesses that are large enough to manage or have
historically managed their back-office applications, and are now pursuing a
"click and mortar" strategy to develop a strong Internet presence, extend their
brand and reach more customers.
Assuming the merger is consummated, we believe that the resulting enterprise
commerce solution will address the requirements of a wide range of industries
such as retail, automotive, insurance and state and local governments. The
combination of our proven outsourced payment and value-added transaction
services and PaylinX's leading enterprise-wide payment software will, if
successfully integrated, provide a more complete solution for a broader range
of customers and customer needs.
What Are PaylinX's Reasons for the Merger?
The members of the PaylinX Board of Directors believe that the merger will
be potentially beneficial in several respects. In reaching its determination to
approve the merger and related transactions, the PaylinX Board of Directors
considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
The PaylinX Board of Directors believes that the combination of
CyberSource's business and PaylinX's business will provide a significant
opportunity for the combined company to be a leading e-payments infrastructure
provider. Among other things:
. The distinct yet complementary focus of each company will permit the
combined company to offer a broader, more complete family of product and
services offerings.
. CyberSource's customer base and sales and marketing infrastructure offer
expanded sales and marketing opportunities for PaylinX.
. CyberSource's comprehensive approach to providing eCommerce services
offers expanded business development opportunities for PaylinX.
. The greater financial resources of CyberSource and its access to public
equity markets should allow PaylinX to invest more in product
development and increase its market share.
The PaylinX Board of Directors believes that the combination will enable
PaylinX to avoid substantial planned development expenditures and also believes
that there are other possible cost savings associated with the combination. The
PaylinX Board of Directors also considered the impact of the business
combination on CyberSource's financial condition, results of operations and
cash flow.
The PaylinX Board of Directors believes that the consideration to be
received in the merger by the PaylinX stockholders is fair to the PaylinX
stockholders. The PaylinX Board of Directors also believes that the CyberSource
common stock has prospects for positive long-term performance. Further, the
PaylinX Board of Directors noted that the merger will provide PaylinX
stockholders with publicly traded stock without the risks and uncertainties of
an initial public offering for the PaylinX common stock.
As part of its review, the PaylinX Board of Directors considered, among
other things, the following factors:
. the terms of the merger;
. information concerning CyberSource's and PaylinX's respective
businesses, prospects, financial positions, results of operations,
operations, services, service development and technologies, based in the
case of CyberSource on information provided by CyberSource and on
PaylinX management's due diligence investigation;
18
<PAGE>
. information regarding comparable companies, including market prices of
the companies' stock, market capitalizations, revenues, ratios of
revenues to market price and other results of operations, based on
reported historical information and analysts' reports;
. information regarding reported acquisitions of other companies in the
eCommerce industry and other comparable acquisitions;
. an analysis of the relative value that CyberSource and PaylinX might
contribute to the future business and prospects of the combined company;
. current financial market conditions, historical market prices,
volatility and trading information with respect to the CyberSource
common stock;
. advice and detailed analysis of its financial adviser, Chase H&Q,
including its written opinion on June 29, 2000, that the merger
consideration was fair from a financial point of view to the PaylinX
stockholders, as of the date of that opinion;
. the compatibility of the businesses, services, technologies, management
and the administrative, sales and marketing and technical organizations
of CyberSource and PaylinX;
. the expectation that the merger will be a reorganization for federal
income tax purposes; and
. reports from management and legal advisors on the results of PaylinX's
due diligence analysis of CyberSource.
In considering the merger, the PaylinX Board of Directors acknowledged that
there are certain risks associated with the merger, including:
. the possibility that the benefits anticipated from the merger might not
be achieved or might not occur as rapidly or to the extent currently
anticipated;
. the risk that integration of the technologies, services, organizations
or other operations of the two companies might not be accomplished
smoothly and might require more time, expense and management attention
than anticipated;
. the risk that, despite the efforts of the combined company, key
technical, management and sales personnel of CyberSource and PaylinX
might not be retained by the combined company; and
. the risk that the merger would not be effected and the disruption in the
business if the merger is abandoned.
The PaylinX Board of Directors believed that some of these risks were
unlikely to occur, that PaylinX could avoid or mitigate others, and that,
overall, these risks were outweighed by the potential benefits of the merger.
In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its
evaluation of the merger agreement and the merger, the PaylinX Board of
Directors did not find it practicable to and did not quantify or otherwise
assign relative weight to the specific factors considered in reaching its
determination. In addition, individual members of the PaylinX Board of
Directors may have given different weight to different factors.
After taking into account all of the factors discussed above, the PaylinX
Board of Directors concluded that the terms of the merger are in the best
interest of PaylinX and the PaylinX stockholders and unanimously approved the
merger.
Has CyberSource Received an Opinion From a Financial Advisor that the
Transaction is Fair From a Financial Point of View?
Pursuant to an engagement letter dated March 20, 2000, CyberSource retained
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. ("J.P. Morgan") as its financial advisor in
connection with the proposed merger.
19
<PAGE>
At the meeting of our Board of Directors on July 9, 2000, J.P. Morgan gave
its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of that date and
based upon and subject to various considerations set forth in the opinion, the
exchange ratio pursuant to the proposed merger was fair from a financial point
of view to CyberSource. Our Board of Directors did not limit J.P. Morgan in any
way in the investigations it made or the procedures it followed in giving its
opinion.
We have attached as Annex B to this document the full text of J.P. Morgan's
written opinion. This opinion sets forth the assumptions made, matters
considered and limits on the review undertaken. We incorporate J.P. Morgan's
opinion into this document by reference and urge you to read the opinion in its
entirety. J.P. Morgan addressed its written opinion to our Board of Directors.
The opinion addresses only the exchange ratio pursuant to the merger and is not
a recommendation to any CyberSource stockholder as to how such stockholder
should vote at the special meeting. The summary of the opinion of J.P. Morgan
set forth in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of such opinion. You are urged to, and should, read the opinion
carefully and in its entirety.
In arriving at its opinion, J.P. Morgan reviewed:
(1) the Agreement and Plan of Merger;
(2) the audited financial statements of CyberSource and PaylinX for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, the unaudited financial statements of
CyberSource and PaylinX for the period ended March 31, 2000, and selected
preliminary income statement information for the period ended June 30,
2000;
(3) a number of financial forecasts and other data provided to J.P.
Morgan by us and PaylinX relating to our respective businesses;
(4) certain publicly available information, including financial
analysts' estimates (and the assumptions and bases therefor) concerning our
businesses and of certain companies engaged in businesses comparable to
those of PaylinX and the reported market prices for certain other
companies' securities deemed comparable;
(5) current and historical market prices of our common stock; and
(6) the terms of other business combinations that J.P. Morgan deemed
relevant.
J.P. Morgan also held discussions with several members of our and PaylinX's
management on various aspects of the merger, the past and current business
operations of CyberSource and PaylinX, the financial condition and future
prospects and operations of CyberSource and PaylinX, the effect of the merger
on the financial condition and future prospects and operations of CyberSource
and PaylinX and other matters that J.P. Morgan believed necessary or
appropriate to its inquiry. In addition, J.P. Morgan reviewed other financial
studies and analyses and considered other information that it deemed
appropriate for the purposes of its opinion.
J.P. Morgan relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the
accuracy and completeness of all information that was publicly available or
otherwise reviewed by J.P. Morgan from third party sources. J.P. Morgan is not
responsible or liable for that information or its accuracy. J.P. Morgan did not
conduct any valuation or appraisal of any assets or liabilities, nor were any
valuations or appraisals provided to J.P. Morgan.
In relying on other financial analyses provided to it, J.P. Morgan assumed
that they had been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best
currently available estimates as to the financial condition of CyberSource and
PaylinX to which those analyses relate. J.P. Morgan also assumed that the
merger will have the tax consequences described in discussions with, and
materials furnished to, J.P. Morgan by our representatives, and that the
parties will complete the other transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement as described in the merger agreement. J.P. Morgan relied as to all
legal matters relevant to rendering its opinion upon the advice of counsel.
20
<PAGE>
J.P. Morgan based its opinion on economic, market and other conditions as in
effect on, and the information made available to J.P. Morgan as of, the date of
the opinion. Subsequent developments may affect J.P. Morgan's opinion and J.P.
Morgan does not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm its opinion.
J.P. Morgan expressed no opinion as to the price at which our common stock will
trade at any future time.
The terms of the proposed merger were determined through negotiations
between us and PaylinX and were approved by our Board of Directors. Although
J.P. Morgan provided advice to us during the course of these negotiations, the
decision to enter into the merger was solely that of our Board of Directors. As
described above, the opinion of J.P. Morgan and its presentation to our Board
of Directors were only one of a number of factors taken into consideration by
our Board of Directors in making its determination to approve the proposed
merger.
J.P. Morgan employed generally accepted valuation methods in reaching its
opinion. The following is a summary of the material financial analyses that
J.P. Morgan utilized in providing its opinion. We have presented some of the
summaries of financial analyses in tabular format. In order to understand the
financial analyses used by J.P. Morgan more fully, you should read the tables
together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a
complete description of J.P. Morgan's financial analyses.
PaylinX Analysis
i. Contribution Analysis
J.P. Morgan performed a contribution analysis using current and historical
financial data, and financial projections from management and equity research
analysts on a stand-alone basis, including deferred revenue as revenue. These
contributions were compared to the approximately 27% of continuing ownership
stake that PaylinX stockholders would have in the combined company following
the merger. The following table presents the contribution analysis of PaylinX
to the combined company:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
ii. Selected Public Trading Multiples
Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan compared selected
financial data of PaylinX with similar data for selected publicly traded
companies engaged in businesses that J.P. Morgan judged to be reasonably
comparable to PaylinX. These companies were:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
Ariba CyberCash Open Market
Baltimore Technologies CyberSource Oracle Purchase Pro
BroadVision Entrust Technologies Trintech
Bottom Line HNC Software Verisign
Checkfree i2 Technologies Vignette
Clarus Intershop Communications WebMethods
Commerce One
</TABLE>
J.P. Morgan selected these companies because they engage in businesses
reasonably comparable to those of PaylinX. J.P. Morgan used publicly available
financial projections by equity analysts covering each comparable company to
determine the ratio of market capitalization to projected revenues for 2000 and
2001
21
<PAGE>
for each of these companies. The following table presents a comparison of the
median revenue multiples of the comparable companies and the implied merger
multiples for PaylinX based on a range of expected revenues for 2000 and 2001,
respectively:
<TABLE>

<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
PaylinX implied merger multiple............................ 10x 13x 4x 5x
Comparable company median.................................. 29x 18x
</TABLE>
J.P. Morgan observed that the implied merger multiple was below the median
of the comparable company revenue multiples for each of 2000 and 2001.
It should be noted that no company utilized in the analysis above is
identical to PaylinX. In evaluating companies identified by J.P. Morgan as
comparable to PaylinX, J.P. Morgan made judgments and assumptions with regard
to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial
conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of PaylinX,
such as the impact of competition on the business of PaylinX and the industry
generally, industry growth and the absence of any material change in the
financial condition and prospects of PaylinX or the industry or in the
financial markets in general. Mathematical analysis (such as determining the
mean or the median) is not in itself a meaningful method of using selected
Internet company data.
iii. Comparable Transaction Analysis
Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan examined the following
transactions to determine the ratio of transaction size to projected twelve
month revenues:
Computer Associates/Platinum Technology
PSINet/Transaction Network Services
Ceridian/ABR Information Services
WebMethods/Active Software
Digital Insight/nFront
Vignette/OnDisplay
Kana Communications/Silknet Software
SBC Communications/Sterling Commerce
J.P. Morgan analyzed the ratio of transaction size to projected twelve month
revenues for each of those transactions. All multiples for the selected
transactions were based on public information available at the time of public
announcement, and J.P. Morgan's analysis did not take into account different
market and other conditions during the period in which the selected
transactions occurred. The comparable transaction analysis yielded the
following mean and median for the multiple of projected twelve month revenues:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
PaylinX implied merger multiple............................ 10x 13x 10x 13x
Comparable transaction median.............................. 26x 13x
</TABLE>
J.P. Morgan observed that the implied merger multiple was at or below the
mean and median of the comparable transaction revenue multiples.
It should be noted that no transaction utilized in the analysis above is
identical to the CyberSource-PaylinX merger. Mathematical analysis (such as
determining the mean or the median) is not in itself a meaningful method of
using selected Internet transaction data.

CyberSource Analysis
i. Selected Public Trading Multiples
Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan compared our selected
financial data with similar data for selected publicly traded companies engaged
in businesses that J.P. Morgan judged to be reasonably comparable to our
business. These companies were:
Bottom Line
Checkfree
CyberCash
J.P. Morgan selected these companies because they engage in businesses
reasonably comparable to ours. J.P. Morgan used publicly available financial
projections by equity analysts covering each comparable company to determine
the ratio of market capitalization to projected revenues for 2000 and 2001 for
each of these companies. The following table presents a comparison of the
median revenue multiples of the comparable companies and CyberSource based on
expected revenues for 2000 and 2001, respectively:

</TABLE>
J.P. Morgan observed that our multiple was at or above the median of the
comparable company revenue multiples for each of 2000 and 2001.
It should be noted that no company utilized in the analysis above is
identical to us. In evaluating companies identified by J.P. Morgan as
comparable to us, J.P. Morgan made judgments and assumptions with regard to
industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial
conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond our control, such as the
impact of competition on our business and the industry generally, industry
growth and the absence of any material change in the financial condition and
our prospects or the industry or in the financial markets in general.
Mathematical analysis (such as determining the mean or the median) is not in
itself a meaningful method of using selected Internet company data.
ii. Trading Range
J.P. Morgan reviewed the range of closing prices of our common stock prior
to July 9, 2000. J.P. Morgan observed the following:

</TABLE>
This summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses
or data presented by J.P. Morgan. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a
complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or
summary description. J.P. Morgan believes that one must consider its opinion,
this summary and its analyses as a whole. Selecting portions of this summary
and these analyses, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create
an incomplete view of the processes underlying the analyses and opinion. In
arriving at its opinion, J.P. Morgan considered the results of all of the
analyses as a whole. No single factor or analysis was determinative of J.P.
Morgan's fairness determination. Rather, the totality of the factors considered
and analyses performed operated collectively to support its determination. J.P.
Morgan based the analyses on assumptions that it deemed reasonable, including
assumptions concerning general business and economic conditions that impact the
companies' growth rates, labor costs and price competition and industry-
specific factors similar to those factors set forth under the heading
"Cautionary Statements" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and under the heading "Factors That May Affect Future
Operating Results" in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
March 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000. This summary sets forth, under the
description of each analysis, the other principal assumptions upon
23
<PAGE>
which J.P. Morgan based that analysis. J.P. Morgan's analyses are not
necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results that either
company or the combined company might achieve, which values may be higher or
lower than those indicated. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are
inherently uncertain, as they are subject to numerous factors or events beyond
the control of the parties and their advisors. Accordingly, these forecasts and
analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be
significantly more or less favorable than suggested by those analyses.
Therefore, none of CyberSource, PaylinX, J.P. Morgan or any other person
assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those
forecasted.
As a part of its investment banking business, J.P. Morgan and its affiliates
are continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in
connection with mergers and acquisitions, investments for passive and control
purposes, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and
unlisted securities, private placements, and valuations for estate, corporate
and other purposes.
For services rendered in connection with the merger, we have agreed to pay
J.P. Morgan a customary fee in connection with the financial advisory services
provided by J.P. Morgan and the delivery of the fairness opinion. In addition,
we have agreed to reimburse J.P. Morgan for its expenses incurred in connection
with its services, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, and will
indemnify J.P. Morgan against certain liabilities, including liabilities
arising under the Federal securities laws.
J.P. Morgan acted as co-manager in our initial public offering and in our
subsequent follow-on offering. J.P. Morgan and its affiliates maintain banking
and other business relationships with us and our affiliates, for which they
receive customary fees. J.P. Morgan has no financial advisory or other
relationship with PaylinX. In the ordinary course of their businesses, J.P.
Morgan and its affiliates may actively trade our equity securities for their
own accounts or for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, they may hold
long or short positions in those securities at any given time.
What Vote is Required to Effect this Merger?
Proposal 1, to approve the issuance of the shares of our common stock in the
merger, must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our
common stock represented and voting at the meeting. The affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares of PaylinX common stock and preferred stock and two-
thirds of the shares of PaylinX preferred stock must approve the Agreement and
Plan of Merger and the merger. The holders of the shares of PaylinX capital
stock, representing such required majority, have agreed to approve the
Agreement and Plan of Merger and the merger. In addition, the approval of the
merger by the PaylinX stockholders is a condition under the Agreement and Plan
of Merger for us to complete the merger.
Why is My Approval Necessary?
We must seek stockholder approval of our proposed issuance of shares of our
common stock in the merger under the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock
Market because we are issuing greater than 20% of our currently outstanding
shares of common stock as consideration to PaylinX's stockholders. If we did
not seek stockholder approval, Nasdaq could delist our securities from
quotation on The Nasdaq National Market.
Do I Have Any Rights if I Do Not Approve the Proposal?
No. If you choose to vote against the proposal to issue shares of our common
stock in the merger, Delaware General Corporation Law does not afford you any
appraisal rights, as defined under Delaware law, because your shares are
ineligible for such treatment pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law.
Will My Rights as a CyberSource Stockholder Change Following the Merger?
No. When issued, the shares of our common stock that the PaylinX
stockholders will receive will have the same rights and privileges as the
shares of common stock currently authorized and outstanding. Holders of our
common stock have no preemptive rights, and therefore you do not have any
preferential right to purchase any of the additional shares of our common stock
when such shares are issued. The issuance will result in each stockholder
owning a smaller percentage of outstanding shares of CyberSource common stock,
but your rights
24
<PAGE>
will remain the same. We believe, on balance, that the benefits that the
transaction will provide is important to our success and, accordingly, will
benefit CyberSource and our stockholders. We believe it is in the best
interests of our stockholders to approve Proposal 1.
How Will the Merger be Treated for Accounting Purposes?
The merger will be accounted for by us as a purchase of a business. Under
this method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of PaylinX will be
recorded at their fair value, and any excess of our purchase price over the
fair value of PaylinX's tangible net assets will be recorded as intangible
assets, including goodwill. The revenues and expenses of PaylinX will be
included in our consolidated financial statements from the date the merger is
completed.
How Will the Merger be Treated for Federal Income Tax Purposes?
For federal income tax purposes, we and PaylinX intend that (i) the merger
will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and (ii) none of CyberSource,
Sapphire Merger, Inc. or PaylinX will recognize any gain or loss for federal or
state income tax purposes as a result of the merger.
Who Are the Largest Owners of PaylinX Common Stock?
The following table sets forth information known to us with respect to the
beneficial ownership of PaylinX capital stock as of August 1, 2000 by
individuals or entities owning greater than 5% of the outstanding PaylinX
capital stock.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. For the purpose of this section, all
statements are based on information provided by the individuals or entities
named in the table. For each individual or entity, the table indicates the
number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage of all PaylinX
outstanding capital stock represented by that number. Percentage of beneficial
ownership is based upon 7,441,424 shares of common stock and convertible
preferred stock (on an as-converted basis) outstanding as of August 1, 2000.
For each person or entity, the number of shares, and therefore the percentages
calculated using the number of shares, includes additional shares of common
stock not currently outstanding but subject to options or warrants held by that
person or entity that are currently exercisable or that will become exercisable
within 60 days of August 1, 2000. However, those additional shares are not
included when calculating the number and percentage of any other person or
entity. Unless indicated otherwise, the persons and entities named in the table
have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially
owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

<PAGE>
Will the Shares Issued to the PaylinX Stockholders be Registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission?
The shares of our common stock to be issued in the merger will not be
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in reliance upon the
exemption from registration contained in Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. The availability of the exemption is contingent upon the
issuance by the State of California of a permit qualifying the issuance of the
shares issued in the merger. For purpose of obtaining the permit and claiming
the exemption under Section 3(a)(10), we have requested that a public hearing
be conducted by the California Commissioner of Corporations on the fairness of
the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger. If,
based on the facts presented, both in documents submitted in connection with
the hearing and in the process of hearing itself, the issuance of our common
stock in connection with the merger is deemed fair, a permit will be issued.
Only in the event the hearing is not held or the permit is not granted, we will
file a registration statement on Form S-4 to register the shares that we will
issue in the merger, and a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the
shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of options to purchase PaylinX
stock that we will have assumed, if the merger is consummated.
Does the Merger Require the Notification or Approval of any Regulators?
Yes.
Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission
Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended,
or HSR Act, and the rules promulgated thereunder by the Federal Trade
Commission, or FTC, the merger may not be consummated until notifications have
been given and certain information has been furnished to the FTC and the
Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the specified waiting
period requirements have been satisfied. The waiting period under the HSR Act
expired on August 7, 2000. Neither we nor PaylinX received a request for
additional information form the Antitrust Division or the FTC prior to
expiration of the waiting period.
Nasdaq Notification and Acceptance
Due to the size and nature of the acquisition of PaylinX, we need to notify
The Nasdaq Stock Market prior to the issuance of CyberSource stock to the
PaylinX stockholders in the merger. We will also obtain acceptance of the
notification, if and to the extent it is required.
We do not anticipate that any additional regulatory approvals will be
necessary. However, if we later determine that we must seek such additional
approvals, we will seek them as quickly as possible so that we may consummate
the merger. PaylinX has agreed to cooperate in all regulatory approval
processes.
Have CyberSource and PaylinX had any Significant Business Dealings with One
Another in the Past?
No.

INFORMATION ABOUT PAYLINX CORPORATION
Description of PaylinX's Business
Overview
PaylinX, a privately held company incorporated in 1996 with primary
operations in St. Louis, is a leader in multi-channel enterprise payment
solutions. The PaylinX payment server is a robust, enterprise-wide transaction
processing platform that manages the authorization and settlement of credit
card and other payment transactions in real-time through built-in connections
with third-party processors and merchant-acquiring banks. The fully scalable
PaylinX payment solution enables businesses to accept and process payment
transactions through multiple enterprise sales channels--Web storefronts, call
centers, interactive voice response (IVR) systems, in-store point-of-sale
systems and kiosks--seamlessly through a single uniform payment architecture.
Industry Background
In response to the growth of the Internet as a means of doing business, many
businesses have sought to develop an eCommerce capacity. To date, these
businesses have tended to focus on marketing and the appearance of their web
sites, rather than back-end payment and transaction processing systems.
Although many e-businesses have implemented a variety of solutions to improve
the online customer shopping experience, these solutions generally do not
provide good payment processing, in many instances resulting in slow or
incomplete transactions.
Traditional electronic processing of transactions suffers from several
problems, including:
. Limited scalability. Traditional electronic payment processing has
different, uncoordinated processing systems for different payment
channels, resulting in added cost and inefficiency as the business
expands.
. Merchant Needs. Current payment processing systems are not merchant-
focused. This means, for example, that merchants are typically limited to
a single third-party processor for authorization and settlement of
transactions, and switching between processors is difficult.
. Legacy and Internal Processes. Legacy payment processing systems
typically do not integrate with other internal processes, such as
accounting, inventory management or enterprise resource planning systems.
Products and Technology
PaylinX has developed a software package to address the shortcomings of
traditional payment processing. Merchants are able to license the software,
install it quickly, and have all of their payment channels coordinated and
processed through a single, efficient system. The software has features that
address many of the needs discussed above, including:
. Scalable solution. The PaylinX software accepts and processes payments
from multiple payment channels. Furthermore, the PaylinX software
utilizes "multi-threaded" processing, meaning transactions are processed
independently, reducing congestion and delay from high transaction
volume. These features permit merchants to easily add payment channels to
those already existing.
. Merchant-Centered Service. The PaylinX software communicates with
different third party processors, merchant banks and card issuers. This
permits the merchant to switch among processors depending upon which
offers the lowest transaction fees. Merchants are also able to select
among processors that accept different forms of payment, such as credit
cards, purchasing cards and debit cards.
. Integration with other systems. The PaylinX software interfaces with
existing business applications such as inventory management, accounting
and enterprise resource planning. The PaylinX software has a report
generation module that consolidates reports across these different
systems.
In short, the PaylinX software provides an integrated solution, giving
merchants the ability to handle all types of payment channels while also
offering other distinct advantages of centralized payment processing.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA FOR CYBERSOURCE
The following selected consolidated financial data should be read in
conjunction with our Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements and notes
thereto. The consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and the consolidated balance sheet data as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998 are derived from our Supplemental Consolidated
Financial Statements which have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent
auditors, and are included elsewhere in this proxy statement, and are qualified
by reference to such Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements and the
Notes thereto. The consolidated statement of operations data for the period
from March 20, 1996 (date of inception) to December 31, 1996 and the
consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 are derived
from our Consolidated Financial Statements not included herein which have been
audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors. The consolidated financial
data as of June 30, 2000 and for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
was derived from unaudited financial statements incorporated by reference
elsewhere in this proxy statement. We have prepared this unaudited financial
information on the same basis as the audited supplemental consolidated
financial statements and have included all adjustments consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation
of our financial position and operating results for the periods presented. When
you read this consolidated financial data, you should also read the
Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in
this proxy statement. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of
future results. We have paid no cash dividends on the common stock.
The unaudited selected consolidated pro forma financial data of CyberSource
and PaylinX is derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements of CyberSource and PaylinX and should be read in
conjunction with such pro forma statements and notes thereto which are included
elsewhere in this proxy statement. For pro forma purposes, CyberSource's
historical supplemental consolidated statement of operations data for the year
ended December 31, 1999 have been combined with PaylinX's historical
consolidated statements of operations data for the year ended December 31, 1999
and CyberSource's historical consolidated statement of operations data for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 have been combined with PaylinX's historical
consolidated statement of operations data for the six months ended June 30,
2000, both giving effect to the PaylinX merger as if it had occurred at the
beginning of the period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
balance sheet data combines CyberSource's and PaylinX's historical consolidated
balance sheet data as of June 30, 2000, giving effect to the PaylinX merger as
if it had occurred as of June 30, 2000.
The consolidated pro forma information is presented for illustrative
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or
financial position that would have occurred if the PaylinX merger had been in
effect during the periods presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future
operating results or financial position. In particular, the actual adjustments
to the valuation of PaylinX's assets and liabilities in connection with the
acquisition may vary significantly from the preliminary estimates reflected in
the pro forma financial information.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR PAYLINX
The following discussion of PaylinX's financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with PaylinX's financial statements
and related notes included elsewhere in this document. This discussion does not
take into account the impact of the contemplated merger with CyberSource.
PaylinX Corporation is a leader in e-commerce payment solutions, providing
businesses with a single, enterprise-wide resource for processing all
electronic payments from customers. The PaylinX payment server allows a
merchant to accept payments through one channel--or through multiple channels
simultaneously, such as over the Internet, through a call center or through IVR
systems, through traditional physical point-of-sale sites or kiosks--creating a
high-quality, consistent consumer experience.
PaylinX simplifies and strengthens the payment chain for business-to-
consumer and business-to-business commerce at a time when merchant distribution
channels are undergoing rapid and forced diversification. The PaylinX platform
gives merchants the flexibility to easily add new delivery channels, including
Internet channels, which become integrated with the secure payment mechanism
from PaylinX. The PaylinX solution is offered as a comprehensive software suite
for merchants directly and for companies offering outsourced transaction
processing to merchants, as well as a payment gateway for network-based
solutions.
PaylinX's predecessor began system shipments in 1995, and PaylinX now has
more than 200 customer installations of the PaylinX payment server. This
platform has demonstrated proven, stable performance when loaded with high
transaction volumes and is broadly scalable to handle the growth and expansion
needs that merchants experience as their business models change over time. The
system is based on Windows NT.
In view of PaylinX's limited operating history, period-to-period comparisons
of PaylinX's revenues and operating results, including PaylinX's operating
expenses as a percentage of total revenues, may not be meaningful and should
not be relied upon as indications of future performance. Moreover, PaylinX's
historical growth rates should not be relied upon as indications of future
results.
Results of Operations
Six Months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
Revenues. Revenues increased to $5.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000, an increase of approximately $5.0 million or 555.5% as compared to
$0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase is primarily
due to the addition of customers for the PaylinX license software products and
maintenance contracts. License software revenues were $5.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of approximately $4.4 million or 588.3%
as compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Maintenance
and recurring revenues were approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, an increase of approximately $0.6 million or 386.3% as compared
to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs incurred in
the packaging and shipping, costs of software installation, media and manuals
as well as personnel costs associated with customer support and service
operations. Cost of revenues increased to $0.7 million or 11.1% of revenues for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $0.2 million or 20.0% of revenues for
the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in dollars is primarily due to
the addition of customer support personnel and related costs to support the
increase in customers' demand for PaylinX products.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of compensation and related costs of employees who are engaged in the
research, design of product enhancements and upgrades. Research and development
expenses increased to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
$1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase is primarily
a result of the addition of personnel and the associated costs. PaylinX expects
research and development costs to increase in absolute dollars as it hires
additional personnel and continues to enhance product offerings.
32
<PAGE>
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of
compensation and travel expenses of sales, alliance and marketing personnel,
market research and advertising costs. Sales and marketing expenses increased
to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $1.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase is primarily as result of
higher personnel costs and related expenses, including commissions associated
with the increase in sales and the addition of personnel. PaylinX expects sales
and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as it increases sales
and marketing personnel and associated expenses.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of compensation of administrative personnel, fees for outside
professional services, facilities costs and related overhead. General and
administrative costs increased to $3.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000 compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase is primarily a result of the addition of personnel and related
overhead. PaylinX expects general and administrative expenses to increase in
absolute dollars to support the expected growth of its business.
Interest Expense/(Income). Interest expense/(income) increased to $0.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $0.01 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in expense was mainly due to
the issuance from June to September 1999 of $5.8 million in Convertible
Promissory Notes (Convertible Notes) and the issuance in November and December
of 1999 of $4.0 million in Short-Term Bridge Notes (Short-Term Notes). The
Convertible Notes were convertible into Series B Preferred Stock (Series B
Preferred) at 110% of the original note value upon completion of a subsequent
funding round of at least $10.0 million. The Convertible Notes had an interest
rate of 8% payable in either cash or additional Series B Preferred shares. The
Convertible Notes matured on the earliest of one year from the date of
execution of the Convertible Notes, issuance of the Series B Preferred shares
or a merger involving the Company. The Short-Term Notes had an interest rate of
9% and were due within 90 days of issuance. In January 2000, PaylinX issued
Series B Preferred shares and all Convertible Notes, Short-Term Notes and
associated interest were converted into Series B Preferred shares. The interest
expense charge associated with the conversion of the Convertible Notes was
partially offset by interest income from PaylinX's investment activities.
Income Taxes. No provision for federal and state income taxes was recorded
as PaylinX has incurred net operating losses since inception.
Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
Revenues. Revenues increased to $3.2 million in 1999, an increase of
approximately $2.4 million or 324.1% as compared to $0.7 million in 1998. This
increase was due to the addition of customers for PaylinX's license software
products and maintenance contracts. License software revenues were $2.7 million
in 1999, an increase of approximately $2.1 million or 356.0% as compared to
$0.6 million in 1998. Maintenance revenues were approximately $0.5 million in
1999, an increase of approximately $0.3 million or 202.2% as compared to $0.2
million in 1998.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased to $0.6 million or 19.2% of
revenues in 1999 from $0.1 million or 10.7% in 1998. The increase in dollars
was primarily due to the addition of customer support personnel and related
costs to support the increase in customers' demand for PaylinX products.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased to
$4.1 million in 1999 from $0.3 million in 1998. The increase was primarily a
result of the addition of personnel and the associated costs.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased to $7.0
million in 1999 compared to $0.3 million in 1998. The increase was primarily a
result of higher personnel cost and related expenses, including commissions
associated with the increase in sales and the addition of personnel.
General and Administrative. General and administrative costs increased to
$6.9 million in 1999 compared to $0.7 million in 1998. The increase was
primarily as a result of the addition of personnel and related overhead.
33
<PAGE>
Loss on Disposal of Assets. In 1999 PaylinX recorded a loss on disposal of
assets of $0.4 million as result of the sale of excess office equipment
furniture.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $0.3 million in 1999 as
compared to $20,000 in 1998. The increase was mainly due to the issuance from
June to September 1999 of $5.8 million in Convertible Notes and the issuance in
November and December of 1999 $4.0 million in Short-Term Notes. In January
2000, PaylinX issued Series B Preferred shares and all Convertible Notes,
Short-Term Notes and associated interest were converted into Series B Preferred
shares.
Income Taxes. No provision for federal and state income taxes was recorded
as PaylinX has incurred net operating losses since inception.
Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
Revenues. Revenues increased to $0.7 million in 1998, an increase of
approximately $0.3 million or 70.6% as compared to $0.4 million in 1997. This
increase was due to the addition of customers for PaylinX's license software
products and maintenance contracts. License software revenues were $0.6 million
in 1998, an increase of approximately $0.2 million or 57.6% as compared to $0.4
million in 1997. Maintenance revenues were approximately $0.2 million in 1998,
an increase of approximately $0.1 million or 148.7% as compared to $0.1 million
in 1997.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased to $0.1 million or 10.7% of
revenues in 1998 from $30,000 or 6.9% in 1997. The increase in dollars was
primarily due to the addition of customer support personnel and related costs
to support the increase in customers' demand for PaylinX products.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased to
$0.3 million in 1998 from $0.1 million in 1997. The increase was primarily a
result of the addition of personnel and the associated costs.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased to $0.3
million in 1998 compared to $0.1 million in 1997. The increase was primarily a
result of higher personnel cost and related expenses, including commissions
associated with the increase in sales and the addition of personnel.
General and Administrative. General and administrative costs increased to
$0.7 million in 1998 compared to $0.3 million in 1997. The increase was
primarily a result of the addition of personnel and related overhead.
Income Taxes. No provision for federal and state income taxes was recorded
as PaylinX has incurred net operating losses since inception.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $10.8 million to $11.5
million as of June 30, 2000 compared to $0.75 million at December 31, 1999. In
January 2000, PaylinX issued 3,836,472.15 shares of Series B Preferred for
$7.824538 per share, or $30.0 million proceeds in the aggregate. The $5.8
million of Convertible Notes (at 110% of the original note value), $4.0 million
of Short-Term Notes and the associated accrued interest on the Convertible
Notes and the Short-Term Notes were converted or exchanged for shares of the
Series B Preferred and are included in the total proceeds. The increase in cash
as a result of the issuance of the Series B Preferred was partially offset by
PaylinX's continued operating losses.
Under the terms of PaylinX's certificate of incorporation, each share of
Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred may be converted at any time into one
share of common stock, subject to certain conversion adjustments as defined in
the certificate of incorporation. The Series A Preferred and the Series B
Preferred will be converted automatically into common stock upon an initial
public offering valued at not less than $20 million.
34
<PAGE>
The holders of the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred may require
PaylinX to redeem half of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and
Series B Preferred on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date, half
of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred on
the sixth anniversary of the original issuance date and the remaining
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred on the seventh
anniversary of the original issuance date. The redemption price at each of the
redemption dates will be the greater of $5 and $7.824538 per share,
respectively, or fair market value, plus any declared and unpaid dividends for
the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred. The fair market value of the
Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred is to be determined by independent
appraisers appointed by PaylinX and the Series A Preferred and Series B
Preferred stockholders.
The Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred stockholders have preemptive
rights to purchase new issuances of securities.
PaylinX believes that its current cash and investment balances will be
sufficient to meet its working capital and capital requirements for at least
the next twelve months. PaylinX's future capital requirements will depend on
many factors including the level of investment it makes in new products or new
technologies. PaylinX's current cash balance may be insufficient to meet its
future funding requirements, and PaylinX may need to obtain additional equity
or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available to PaylinX on a timely
basis or on acceptable terms.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE
APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 1.
35
<PAGE>
PROPOSAL 2:
RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO OUR 1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN
Why Do You Need to Increase the Shares Reserved for Issuance?
You are being asked to act upon a proposal to approve the action of the
Board of Directors amending our 1999 Stock Option Plan. The proposed amendment
to our option plan will increase the number of shares of common stock reserved
for issuance under the plan from 6,000,000 shares to 7,000,000 shares.
At the time of its adoption, our plan reserved 2,500,000 shares of common
stock for issuance thereunder. Subsequently, at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders held on May 4, 2000, you ratified and approved amendments to the
plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder from
2,500,000 to 6,000,000 shares. We are now seeking to increase the number of
shares of common stock reserved under our option plan because we have agreed to
issue approximately 514,872 options to PaylinX employees under our option plan
at the time the merger becomes effective. In order to satisfy our obligations,
we must increase the number of shares of common stock we have reserved for
issuance under our plan.
As of August 1, 2000, of the 6,000,000 shares initially reserved for
issuance, as may be adjusted, only 3,292,277 remained available for future
grants under the plan.
In addition, the Board of Directors believes that the attraction and
retention of high quality personnel are essential to our continued growth and
success and that a stock option plan, such as our 1999 Stock Option Plan, is
necessary for us to remain competitive in our compensation practices. The
increase in the number of reserved shares is intended to support our
requirements for stock option grants to both current employees and future
employees.
The proposal to amend our 1999 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of
reserved shares must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
of our common stock represented and voting at the meeting. If you are present
in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and abstain from voting, it
has the same effect as if you voted against this proposal. Broker non-votes
will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the
vote.
The CyberSource Corporation 1999 Stock Option Plan
A general description of the principal terms of our option plan is set forth
below. This description is qualified in its entirety by the terms of our option
plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex C and is
incorporated by reference herein. In the following discussion of our option
plan, capitalized terms have the same meanings as defined in our option plan,
unless otherwise noted.
General Description
The purposes of the option plan are to give our employees and others who
perform substantial services for us an incentive, through ownership of our
common stock, to continue to serve the company and to help us compete
effectively with other enterprises for the services of qualified individuals.
The option plan permits the grant of "incentive stock options" ("ISOs")
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code only to employees, including
officers and employee directors, of CyberSource or any of our parent or
subsidiary corporation. Nonqualified stock options may be granted to employees,
directors and consultants. As of August 1, 2000, options to purchase 3,270,750
shares had been granted under the option plan, options to purchase 563,027
shares had been cancelled under the option plan and returned to the pool of
shares authorized and available for grant and options to purchase 2,473,942
shares were outstanding. As of August 1, 2000, the number of executive
officers, employees, consultants and directors of CyberSource and our
subsidiaries that were eligible to receive grants under our option plan was
approximately 343 persons.
36
<PAGE>
Amendment to Increase Shares Reserved
The current number of shares reserved for issuance under our option plan is
6,000,000. The proposed amendment to our option plan provides that the number
of shares reserved for issuance will be increased by 1,000,000 shares to a
total reserve of 7,000,000 shares.
Code Section 162(m) Limitations
On May 4, 2000, our option plan was amended to limit the maximum number of
options which may be awarded to an employee eligible to receive options under
the plan in any fiscal year to 1,000,000 shares. The purpose of the amendment
was to ensure that any options granted under the option plan after May 2000
will qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Code Section 162(m).
Administration
Our option plan is administered, with respect to grants to directors,
officers, consultants, and employees, by a plan administrator (the
"Administrator"), which is defined as the Board of Directors or a committee
designated by the Board of Directors. The committee is constituted in such a
manner as to satisfy applicable laws, including Rule 16b-3 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With respect to options subject to Code
Section 162(m), the committee will be comprised solely of two or more "outside
directors," as defined under Code Section 162(m) and applicable tax
regulations.
Amendment and Termination
The Board of Directors may at any time amend, suspend or terminate our
option plan. To the extent necessary to comply with applicable provisions of
federal securities laws, state corporate and securities laws, the Code, the
rules of any applicable stock exchange or national market system, and the rules
of any foreign jurisdiction applicable to options granted to residents therein,
we will obtain stockholder approval of any amendment to our option plan in such
a manner and to such a degree as required. Our option plan will terminate in
January 2009 unless previously terminated by the Board of Directors.
Other Terms
The Administrator has the authority to select individuals who are to receive
options under our option plan and to specify the terms and conditions of
options granted (including whether or not the options are ISOs or nonqualified
stock options), the vesting provisions, the option term and the exercise price.
The exercise price of ISOs granted under our option plan will equal the fair
market value of our common stock on the date of grant (except in the case of
grants to any person holding more than 10% of the total combined voting power
of all classes of CyberSource, or any of our parent's or subsidiary's, stock in
which case the exercise price will equal 110% of the fair market value on the
date of grant). The exercise price of nonqualified stock options shall not be
less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The exercise price
of options intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes
of Code Section 162(m) will not be less than 100% of the fair market value.
Option holders may pay for an exercise in cash or other consideration,
including a promissory note, as approved by the Administrator.
Generally, options granted under our option plan (other than those granted
to non-employee directors) vest at a rate of 25% of the shares underlying the
option after one year and the remaining shares vest in equal portions over the
following 36 months, so that all shares are vested after four years. The form
of stock option grant under our option plan used to grant options to our
employees provides for accelerated vesting of half of all unvested shares upon
involuntary termination of employment with CyberSource without cause occurring
within one year of a change in control of CyberSource.
Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, an option granted under our
option plan generally expires ten years from the date of grant (five years in
the case of an incentive stock option granted to any person holding more than
10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock, or the
stock of our parents or subsidiaries, or, if earlier, 30 days after the
optionee's termination of employment or service with the
37
<PAGE>
company or any of our affiliates for any reason other than termination for
death or disability, or one year after termination for death or total and
permanent disability and six months in the case of other types of disability).
Options granted under our option plan are not generally transferable by the
optionee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and generally
are exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee.
In the event of (i) a merger or consolidation as a result of which the
holders of our voting securities prior to the transaction hold shares
representing less than 51% of our voting securities after giving effect to the
transaction (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned
subsidiary or where there is no substantial change in our stockholders and the
options granted under our option plan are assumed by the successor
corporation), or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the
successor corporation will assume or substitute the options we have granted
under our option plan or will provide substantially similar consideration to
optionees as is provided to stockholders. In the event the successor
corporation refuses to assume or substitute outstanding options as provided
above, or in the event of our dissolution or liquidation, outstanding options
will expire, notwithstanding any contrary terms in the grant, on a date
specified in a written notice sent to all optionees (at least 20 days after the
date of the notice).
Our option plan also provides for automatic grants to non-employee
directors. Each non-employee director, upon initial election or appointment to
the Board of Directors, is entitled to receive options to purchase 5,000 shares
of common stock, provided that the election or appointment does not occur
within the last quarter of a given year. Thereafter, each non-employee director
is entitled to receive options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock
annually on January 1 of each year, provided he or she is a non-employee
director on the date of grant and has continuously been an active member of the
Board of Directors for the year prior to the grant date. Options granted to
non-employee directors pursuant to the automatic grant provisions of our option
plan are immediately exercisable, nonqualified stock options with an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of
grant and remain subject to a right of repurchase as determined under the
option plan. Grants to non-employee directors are subject to the general
requirements of our option plan.
Certain Federal Tax Consequences
The grant of a nonqualified stock option under our option plan will not
result in any federal income tax consequences to us or the optionee. Upon
exercise of a nonqualified stock option, the optionee is subject to income
taxes at the rate applicable to ordinary compensation income on the difference
between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on
the date of exercise. This income is subject to withholding for federal income
and employment tax purposes. The company is entitled to an income tax deduction
in the amount of the income recognized by the optionee, subject to possible
limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code. Any gain or loss on the
optionee's subsequent disposition of the shares of common stock will receive
long or short-term capital gain or loss treatment, depending on whether the
shares are held for more than one year following exercise. We do not receive a
tax deduction for any such gain.
The grant of an ISO under our option plan will not result in any federal
income tax consequences to us or the optionee. An optionee recognizes no
federal taxable income upon exercising an ISO (subject to the alternative
minimum tax rules discussed below), and we receive no deduction at the time of
exercise. In the event of a disposition of stock acquired upon exercise of an
ISO, the tax consequences depend upon how long the optionee has held the shares
of common stock. If the optionee does not dispose of the shares within two
years after the ISO was granted, nor within one year after the ISO was
exercised, the optionee will recognize a long-term capital gain (or loss) equal
to the difference between the sale price of the shares and the exercise price.
We are not entitled to any deduction under these circumstances.
If the optionee fails to satisfy either of the foregoing holding periods, he
or she must recognize ordinary income in the year of the disposition (referred
to as a "disqualifying disposition"). The amount of such ordinary income
generally is the lesser of (i) the difference between the amount realized on
the disposition and the exercise price, or (ii) the difference between the fair
market value of the stock on the exercise date and the
38
<PAGE>
exercise price. Any gain in excess of the amount taxed as ordinary income will
be treated as a long or short-term capital gain, depending on whether the stock
was held for more than one year. In the year of the disqualifying disposition,
we are entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income
recognized by the optionee.
The "spread" under an ISO--i.e., the difference between the fair market
value of the shares at exercise and the exercise price--is classified as an
item of adjustment in the year of exercise for purposes of the alternative
minimum tax. Shares of restricted stock may also be granted under our option
plan.
The grant of restricted stock will subject the recipient to ordinary
compensation income on the difference between the amount paid for such stock
and the fair market value of the shares on the date that the restrictions
lapse.
This income is subject to withholding for federal income and employment tax
purposes. We are entitled to an income tax deduction in the amount of the
income recognized by the recipient. Any gain or loss on the recipient's
subsequent disposition of the shares will receive long or short-term capital
gain or loss treatment depending on whether the shares are held for more than
twelve months and depending on how long the stock has been held since the
restrictions lapsed.
We do not receive a tax deduction for any such gain. Recipients of
restricted stock may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to
recognize as ordinary compensation income in the year that such restricted
stock is granted the amount equal to the spread between the amount paid for
such stock and the fair market value on date of the issuance of the stock. If
such an election is made, the recipient recognizes no further amounts of
compensation income upon the lapse of any restrictions and any gain or loss on
subsequent disposition will be long or short-term capital gain. The Section
83(b) election must be made within thirty days from the time the restricted
stock is issued.
The foregoing is only a summary of the current effect of federal income
taxation upon us and the grantee with respect to the shares purchased under our
option plan. Reference should be made to the applicable provisions of the Code.
In addition, the summary does not discuss the tax consequences of a grantee's
death or the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country to
which the grantee may be subject.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for
CyberSource set forth below gives effect to the acquisition of PaylinX. The
historical financial information set forth below has been derived from, and is
qualified by reference to, the supplemental consolidated financial statements
of CyberSource and the consolidated financial statements of CyberSource and
PaylinX, and should be read in conjunction with those financial statements and
the notes thereto incorporated by reference or included elsewhere herein.
In July 2000, we initiated a transaction whereby a wholly-owned subsidiary
of CyberSource will be merged with and into PaylinX, and PaylinX will become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CyberSource. In connection with the merger we will
issue approximately 8.45 million shares of our common stock to PaylinX
stockholders in exchange for PaylinX outstanding common and preferred stock,
and reserve for issuance upon exercise of options and warrants we assumed in
connection with the PaylinX merger approximately 2,916,000 and 17,000 shares of
our common stock, respectively. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the six
months ended June 30, 2000 set forth below give effect to the acquisition as if
it occurred at the beginning of the period presented. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2000 set forth below gives
effect to the acquisition of PaylinX as if it occurred on June 30, 2000.
The PaylinX acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis
of assumptions described herein.
CyberSource expects to incur integration costs, the amount of which is
uncertain at this time, subsequent to the consummation of the acquisition. The
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations does not include the
costs of integration, as these costs will affect future operations and do not
qualify as liabilities in connection with a purchase business combination under
EITF 95-3, "Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business
Combination."
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet set forth herein
combines the balance sheets of CyberSource and PaylinX as of June 30, 2000. The
unaudited pro forma condensed financial information set forth herein combines
the supplemental statement of operations of CyberSource for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and the PaylinX statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1999. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information set
forth herein also combines the statement of operations of CyberSource for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and the PaylinX statement of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2000. This pro forma condensed financial information
reflects certain adjustments, including among others, adjustments to reflect
the amortization of intangible assets and goodwill acquired and deferred
compensation related to assumed options. The information set forth below should
be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and notes to
the financial statements of CyberSource and PaylinX which are incorporated by
reference or included elsewhere herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information set forth below does not purport to represent
what the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of
CyberSource would actually have been if the PaylinX acquisition and related
transaction had in fact occurred on such date or to project the future
consolidated results of operations or financial condition of CyberSource.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For purposes of the pro forma operating data, CyberSource's consolidated
financial statements as of June 30, 2000 and for the six months ended June 30,
2000 have been combined with the PaylinX financial statements as of June 30,
2000 and for the six months ended June 30, 2000. CyberSource's supplemental
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 has
been combined with the PaylinX statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
The companies have had no significant inter-company activity which would
require elimination in preparing the combined condensed financial statements.
In addition, the companies have no significantly different accounting policies
and procedures which would have required conforming adjustments.
The accompanying pro forma information should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements and supplemental financial statements and
related notes for both CyberSource and PaylinX, which are either included or
incorporated by reference in this proxy statement.
The pro forma financial statements give effect to CyberSource's acquisition
of PaylinX through a merger and exchange of shares. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Condensed Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31,
1999 and the six months ended June 30, 2000 reflect this transaction as if it
had taken place at the beginning of the period presented. The Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet gives effect to this transaction as if
it had taken place on June 30, 2000.
The merger is being accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
assumptions described in the following notes and include assumptions relating
to the allocation of the consideration paid for the assets and liabilities of
PaylinX based on estimated fair value. CyberSource does not expect that the
final allocation of the purchase price will differ materially from the
preliminary allocations. In the opinion of CyberSource's management, all
adjustments necessary to present fairly such pro forma financial statements
have been made on the proposed terms and structure of the PaylinX merger.
In connection with the merger, CyberSource currently expects to incur write-
offs related to in-process research and development, of approximately $14.5
million. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations do
not reflect these charges. The charge related to in-process research and
development will be reflected in CyberSource's consolidated financial
statements upon the effective time of the merger. The pro forma financial
statements do not include the costs of integration, the amount of which is
uncertain at this time as they will affect future operations.
The pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what
the actual financial results would have been had the transaction taken place on
January 1, 1999 or June 30, 2000 and do not purport to indicate the results of
future operations.
The pro forma financial statements give effect to the following pro forma
adjustments:
(1) In accordance with the merger agreement, PaylinX will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of CyberSource, and all outstanding shares of its
common and preferred stock will be converted into shares of CyberSource
common stock.
The PaylinX merger is being accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The purchase price of $16.23 per share was based on the closing
price of CyberSource's stock on July 10, 2000 (the date of the announcement of
the merger) and the three days prior and subsequent to the announcement date.

Totals................................. 9,472,459 11,366,950 $178,741
</TABLE>
The PaylinX shares were first converted to CyberSource equivalent shares by
taking the number of PaylinX shares multiplied by the exchange ratio of
approximately 1.2 per share.
With respect to stock options assumed as part of the merger, all PaylinX
options will be exchanged for CyberSource options and are included as part of
the purchase price based on their fair value. Any unvested PaylinX options
issued in exchange for unvested CyberSource options are also included as part
of the purchase price based on their fair value, however, pursuant to Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation Number 44, the portion of the
intrinsic value of unvested options that will be deemed to be earned over the
remaining vesting period of those options has been deducted from the fair value
of the unvested options and will be amortized as deferred compensation over
that remaining vesting period. The fair value of the options assumed is based
on the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions:
. Fair market value of the underlying shares is based on the average
closing price of CyberSource's common stock on July 10, 2000 and the
three days prior and subsequent to such date.
. Expected life of 4.0 years
. Expected volatility of 1.13
. Risk free interest rate of 5.55%
. Expected dividend rate of 0%
Below is a table of the estimated acquisition cost, allocation of excess
purchase cost over the fair value of net assets acquired to goodwill and other
intangible assets acquired and annual amortization of the goodwill and
intangible assets acquired (in thousands, except for asset life);

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Tangible assets of PaylinX acquired in the merger principally include cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, and fixed assets. Liabilities of
PaylinX assumed in the merger principally include accounts payable, deferred
revenue and other liabilities.
To determine the value of the developed technology the expected future cash
flow attributable to all existing technology was discounted, taking into
account risks related to the characteristics and applications of the
technology, existing and future markets, and assessments of the life cycle
stage of the technology. The analysis resulted in a valuation of approximately
$10.6 million for developed technology which has reached technological
feasibility and therefore was capitalizable. The developed technology is being
amortized on a straight line basis over a 3 year period.
The value of the assembled workforce was derived by estimating the costs to
replace the existing employees, including recruiting and hiring costs and
training costs for each category of employee. The analysis determined a
valuation of approximately $3.5 million for the assembled workforce, and is
being amortized on a straight line basis over a 3 year period.
The value of the customer base of approximately $13.0 million was derived by
considering, among other factors, the historical costs to develop customer
relationships, the expected income, and the associated risks. Associated risks
included the inherent difficulties and uncertainties in transitioning business
relationships. The value of the customer base is being amortized over a 5 year
period.
The value of deferred compensation of approximately $8.7 million was derived
using the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation
Number 44, the unvested options' intrinsic value, and a vesting ratio of 38%
for the remaining vesting period of unvested options. The deferred compensation
is being amortized on a graded basis over a 3.5 year period.
The projects identified as in-process technology at PaylinX are those that
will be underway at the time of the PaylinX merger and would, after
consummation of the PaylinX merger, require additional effort to establish
technological feasibility. These projects have identifiable technological risk
factors which indicate that even though successful completion is expected, it
is not assured. If an identified project is not successfully completed, there
is no alternative future use for the project and the expected future income
will not be realized. The estimated amount of the in-process research and
development charge represents a preliminary estimate which could materially
differ from the actual results that will be experienced by CyberSource as final
values will not be established until after the closing of the PaylinX merger.
The in-process technology acquired from PaylinX in the transaction consists
primarily of technology related to replacement and enhancement of PaylinX's
core technology, principally multi-channel enterprise payment software.
(2) The pro forma adjustment to deferred revenue reflects the writedown
of deferred revenue to the estimated amount of the cost to provide service
under maintenance contracts as of June 30, 2000 plus a profit margin
related to such services.
(3) The pro forma adjustment to accrued liabilities reflects the
payments under severance agreements to executives of PaylinX who will be
terminated upon the closing of the merger.
(4) The pro forma adjustment to "deferred compensation" reflects the
elimination of PaylinX deferred compensation ($1.8 million).
(5) The pro forma adjustment to "common stock and additional paid in
capital" and "convertible preferred stock" reflects elimination of
PaylinX's common and preferred stock ($40.9 million) and the impact of the
issuance of CyberSource common stock ($178.7 million) in connection with
the merger.

(6) The pro forma adjustment to "Accumulated Deficit" reflects the
elimination of PaylinX's accumulated deficit ($24.0 million) and the in-
process technology charge ($14.5 million).
(7) The pro forma adjustment is for the amortization of goodwill,
assembled workforce, covenants-not-to-compete and customer base.
(8) The pro forma adjustment is for the amortization of developed
technology.
(9) The pro forma adjustment is for the amortization of deferred
compensation.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CyberSource Corporation
We have audited the supplemental consolidated balance sheets of CyberSource
Corporation (formed as a result of the consolidation of CyberSource Corporation
and ExpressGold.com, Inc.) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
supplemental consolidated statements of operations, redeemable convertible
preferred stock, division equity and stockholders' equity (net capital
deficiency), and cash flows of CyberSource Corporation and its predecessor
division of Beyond.com Corporation for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999. The supplemental consolidated financial statements
give retroactive effect to the merger of CyberSource Corporation and
ExpressGold.com, Inc. on January 10, 2000, which has been accounted for using
the pooling of interests method as described in the notes to the supplemental
consolidated financial statements. These supplemental financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the supplemental financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the supplemental consolidated
financial position of CyberSource Corporation at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the supplemental consolidated results of operations and cash flows of
CyberSource Corporation and its predecessor division of Beyond.com Corporation
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company
CyberSource Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the state of
Delaware on December 30, 1997. Prior to its incorporation, the Company operated
as a division of Beyond.com Corporation (Beyond.com). The Company is a
developer and provider of real time eCommerce transaction services.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the financial
position and results of operations of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries and the predecessor division of Beyond.com. All intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
On December 31, 1997, Beyond.com transferred assets and liabilities to its
wholly owned subsidiary, CyberSource Corporation. Upon this transfer,
Beyond.com distributed capital stock in the form of a dividend to all existing
stockholders of Beyond.com on a pro rata basis such that the stockholders of
the Company were the same as the stockholders of Beyond.com at the time of the
distribution (the Spin-off). The accompanying statements of operations and
stockholders' equity for fiscal 1997 reflect the operations of the Company as a
division of Beyond.com through December 31, 1997.
The statements of operations for fiscal 1997 include all revenue and costs
directly attributable to the Company, including a corporate allocation of the
costs of facilities, salaries, and employee benefits. Additionally, incremental
corporate administration, finance, and management costs were allocated to the
Company. (See Note 8.)
All of the allocations reflected in the 1997 financial statements are based
on assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
However, these allocations and estimates are not necessarily indicative of
the costs that would have resulted if the Company had been operated on a stand-
alone basis in fiscal 1997 nor are they necessarily indicative of future costs
to support the operations of the Company.
On January 10, 2000, the Company acquired ExpressGold.com, Inc., a privately
held South Dakota Corporation ("ExpressGold"). The transaction was closed on
January 10, 2000 and is being accounted for as a pooling of interests. These
supplemental consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect
the acquisition of ExpressGold as a pooling of interests. These supplemental
consolidated financial statements will become the historical financial
statements upon issuance of financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2000. (See Note 2)
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiary are translated
into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Assets and liabilities of the
Company's subsidiary are translated at the rates of exchange at the end of the
period. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates
in effect during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency translation
were not material through December 31, 1999.
F-15

CYBERSOURCE CORPORATION
and its predecessor division of Beyond.com Corporation
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues from eCommerce service monthly transaction
processing fees, support service fees, professional services, and digital
product rights management fees. Individual transactions, monthly transaction
revenues, and digital product rights management fees are recognized in the
period in which the transactions occur. Support service fees and professional
services are recognized when the services are provided and the related costs
are incurred. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, Beyond.com, a
related party, accounted for 13.1% and 23.7% of revenues, respectively. There
were no customers that accounted for greater than 10% of revenues in fiscal
1997.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, cash equivalents consist
primarily of investments in money market funds. To date, the Company has not
experienced losses on any of its investments.
Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried
at fair market value. Short-term investments are comprised of commercial paper
with an original maturity greater than three months and less than one year.
Unrealized losses on short-term investments, which represents the difference
between the fair market value and the amortized cost, are approximately
$412,000 as of December 31, 1999 and are included in accumulated other
comprehensive loss. There were no realized gains or losses from the sale of
short-term investments during fiscal 1999.
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, 11% and 13%, respectively, of accounts
receivable are due from Beyond.com. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, accounts
receivable due from foreign customers are 11% and 6%, respectively. The Company
generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains allowances for
potential credit losses.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on a straight-
line basis over estimated useful lives of three years. Leasehold improvements
are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease terms or
the estimated useful lives.

Product Development
Product development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.
Advertising Expense
The cost of advertising is recorded as an expense when incurred. Advertising
costs were approximately $3,601,000 and $32,000 during the years ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB Opinion No. 25), and
related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because
the alternative fair value accounting provided for under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS
123), requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use
in valuing employee stock options. Under APB Opinion No. 25, when the exercise
price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
Net Loss Per Share and Pro Forma Net Loss Per Share
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share," basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed
using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the
computation as their effect is antidilutive. Because the Company was a division
of Beyond.com through December 31, 1997 and had no outstanding common or
preferred stock, there is no earnings or loss per share presented for 1997.

</TABLE>
If the Company had reported net income for the year ended December 31, 1999,
diluted earnings per share would have included the shares used in the
computation of net loss per share as well as additional common equivalent
shares related to outstanding options to purchase approximately 3,308,405
shares of common stock at December 31, 1999, shares issuable upon exercise of
the outstanding warrants prior to the exercise of these warrants in June 1999
and shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding convertible note payable
prior to the conversion of the note in June 1999. The common equivalent shares
from options and warrants would be determined on a weighted average basis using
the treasury stock method. The common equivalent shares related to the
convertible note payable would be determined on a weighted average basis using
the "as-if converted" method. If the Company had reported net income for the
year ended December 31, 1998, diluted earnings per share would have included
additional common equivalent shares related to approximately 1,007,224
outstanding options and 1,527,000 shares issuable on conversion of the
convertible note payable and exercise of the outstanding warrants at December
31, 1998.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are calculated under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Under
SFAS 109, the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes, which
includes the effects of temporary differences between financial and taxable
amounts of assets and liabilities.
Comprehensive Income
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" establishes rules for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components. SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains or
losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities, which were previously
reported separately in stockholders' equity, to be included in other
comprehensive income. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other
comprehensive income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the requirements of SFAS 130.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. SFAS 133
requires all companies to
F-18
<PAGE>
CYBERSOURCE CORPORATION
and its predecessor division of Beyond.com Corporation
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. This statement
is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after July 1,
2000. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact SFAS 133 will
have on the Company's statement of financial position.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Statement of
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB
101). The Company does not believe that the adoption of SAB 101 will materially
change its financial position or results of operations.
2. Acquisition of ExpressGold
On January 10, 2000, the Company acquired ExpressGold, a developer of an
Internet Stored Value platform that allows merchants to offer gift
certificates, promotional certificates and corporate incentives to businesses
and consumers. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company issued
1,554,431 shares of CyberSource common stock in exchange for all of
ExpressGold's common stock. In addition, the Company issued 12,067 stock
options in exchange for ExpressGold's previously outstanding stock options. The
number of shares of CyberSource shares was calculated using an exchange ratio
of approximately 1.3 shares of CyberSource for each share of ExpressGold common
stock. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests and,
accordingly, the historical condensed consolidated financial statements of the
Company have been restated to include the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of ExpressGold for all periods presented.
The following represents the results of operations for 1999 and 1998 for the
Company and ExpressGold prior to the restatement resulting from the acquisition

NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
operations as principally two segments, eCommerce transaction services (ECTS)
and digital product sales and rights management (DPR) for software and other
digital products and manages the business based on the revenues of these
segments. Additionally, revenues from outside the United States were 23% of
revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999. In 1998 and 1997 the Company
derived less than 10% of its revenues from outside the United States.
The following tables presents revenues by the Company's two segments for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. There were no interbusiness unit
sales or transfers. The Company does not report operating expenses,
depreciation and amortization, interest income (expense), income taxes, capital
expenditures, or identifiable assets by its industry segments to the Chief
Executive Officer. The Company's Chief Executive Officer reviews the revenues
from each of the Company's reportable segments, and all of the Company's
expenses are managed by and reported to the Chief Executive Officer on a
consolidated basis. Revenues are as follows (in thousands):

5. Commitments
The Company leases its primary facility and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases. The lease agreement for the facility occupied by the Company
during 1999 expires periodically through 2001. In November 1999, the Company
entered into a lease agreement to occupy a new facility commencing January 2000
which expires in December 2006. The Company is planning to relocate to the new
facility in April 2000. Upon the completion of its relocation, the Company
intends to sublease its current facility through the expiration of its lease
agreement or terminate the lease with the lessor. Rental expense was
approximately $1,143,000, $467,000, and $144,000 for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Company leases equipment under noncancelable lease agreements that are
accounted for as capital leases. Equipment under capital lease arrangements,
which is included in property and equipment, aggregated approximately
$1,699,000 and $546,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Related
accumulated amortization was approximately $524,000 and $69,000 at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Amortization expense related to assets under
capital leases is included with depreciation expense.

In June 1999, the Company completed an initial public offering and all
outstanding shares of the Company's preferred stock, including preferred stock
issued in June 1999 upon conversion of a convertible note and exercise of
warrants, were converted into 11,705,793 shares of common stock.
During 1998, in connection with the issuance of Series E preferred stock and
certain strategic marketing agreements with Visa and GE Capital, the Company
issued warrants to purchase 552,486, 442,910, and 401,243 shares of the
Company's Series E preferred stock at exercise prices of $1.81, $3.00, and
$4.00 per share, respectively. The warrants were fully exercisable upon the
date of issuance and expired three years from the original date of the
marketing services agreements. Preferred shares issued upon exercise of the
warrants are non-forfeitable.
The Company determined the fair value of the warrants at the time of
issuance to be $318,000 and recorded this amount as a cost of the strategic
marketing agreements. The determined value of the warrants was credited to
redeemable convertible preferred stock and is being amortized ratably over the
three year term of the strategic marketing agreements. The Company amortized
$79,000 and $28,000 of the value of the warrants to sales and marketing expense
in 1999 and 1998, respectively. In June 1999, all warrants were exercised
through a cashless net exercise into 774,512 shares of preferred stock.

7. Stockholders' Equity
Common Shares
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock. The
holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to
be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company. Subject to the preferences
that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, the
holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if
any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors.
On April 30, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 1 for 2
reverse split of the Company's outstanding common stock, and on June 21, 1999,
the Company's stockholders approved the reverse split. The par value of the
common stock and the authorized shares of common stock were not adjusted as a
result of the reverse split. The conversion ratios of each series of preferred
stock were adjusted accordingly. The stock split is reflected in the
accompanying financial statements and footnotes on a retroactive basis for all
periods presented.
The Company completed its IPO on June 28, 1999. A total of 4,600,000 shares
of common stock was sold by the Company at a price of $11.00 per share. The
net proceeds to the Company were approximately $46.2 million after deducting
the underwriters discount and offering expenses.
The Company completed a second offering on November 10, 1999. A total of
2,000,000 shares of common stock was sold by the Company at a price of $59.00
per share. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $111.8 million
after deducting the underwriters discount and offering expenses.
In November 1999, a stockholder/employee of ExpressGold purchased 100,000
shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. In connection with the purchase,
the Company recorded compensation of $3,580,000 for the estimated difference
between the purchase price and the deemed fair value of the common stock for
accounting purposes.
The Company has reserved shares of common stock for future issuance at
December 31, 1999 as follows:

Stock Options
In conjunction with the Spin-off of the Company on December 31, 1997,
employees of the Company, immediately following the Spin-off, maintained their
outstanding exercisable stock options in Beyond.com and in March 1998 were
granted additional incentive stock options in the Company. Employees of
Beyond.com were granted additional stock options in the Company in March 1998
based on the extent that the employees' original Beyond.com options were
exercisable on the date of the Spin-off. The exercise prices of the original
Beyond.com option grants and the additional Company stock option grants were
adjusted to reflect the allocation of the fair market value per share price
between the Company's and Beyond.com's common stock at December 31, 1997. The
adjustments to these options resulted in nonstapled options to the employees
of each entity and were accounted for and in compliance with the guidelines in
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 90-9, and therefore, no compensation
expense has been recorded.

In March 1998, the Company adopted its 1998 Stock Option Plan (the 1998
Option Plan). There are 1,900,000 shares of common stock authorized for
issuance under the 1998 Option Plan. The 1998 Option Plan provides for the
issuance of common stock and the granting of options to employees, officers,
directors, consultants, independent contractors, and advisors of the Company.
The exercise price of a nonqualifying stock option and an incentive stock
option shall not be less than 85% and 100%, respectively, of the fair value of
the underlying shares on the date of grant. Options granted under the 1998
Option Plan generally become exercisable over five years at the rate of 20% per
year from the grant date.
In January 1999, the Company adopted its 1999 Stock Option Plan (the 1999
Option Plan). The Company has reserved 2,500,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under the 1999 Option Plan. The provisions of the 1999 Plan are
similar to those of the 1998 Option Plan.
In October 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan
(the 1999 Nonqualified Option Plan). The Company has reserved 1,100,000 shares
of common stock for issuance under the 1999 Nonqualified Option Plan. The 1999
Nonqualified Option Plan provides for the granting of non-qualified stock
options to employees, consultants and directors. The other provisions of the
1999 Nonqualified Option Plan are similar to those of the 1999 and 1998 Stock
Option Plans. In March 2000, the Company reserved an additional 637,500 shares
of common stock for issuance under the 1999 Nonqualified Option Plan.
On January 10, 2000, 9,250 outstanding ExpressGold stock options were
converted at the common stock exchange ratio in accordance with the ExpressGold
acquisition agreement, into 12,067 options to purchase the Company's common
stock at an average converted exercise price of $0.77. The options are
generally exercisable in four equal installments commencing one year from the
original grant date and expire ten years from the original grant date.
The following table summarizes information about the Company's stock option
activity under the 1998 Option Plan, the 1999 Option Plan and the 1999
Nonqualified Option Plan. Options granted prior to December 31, 1997 were
originated from options granted by Beyond.com and were granted by the Company
immediately following the adoption of the 1998 Option Plan.

In connection with certain stock options granted in 1999 and 1998, the
Company recorded deferred compensation for the estimated difference between the
exercise price of the options and the deemed fair value of $1,188,000, and
$160,000, respectively, which is being amortized on a graded method over the
four-year vesting period of the options. In fiscal 1999 and 1998, $539,000 and

At December 31, 1998 and 1997, 145,901 and 828,640 options were exercisable
at a weighted average exercise price of $0.09 and $0.004, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In June 1999, the Company's board of directors and stockholders adopted its
1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and reserved 2,500,000 shares of common stock
for issuance under this plan. In accordance with Section 423 of the Internal
Revenue Code, this plan permits eligible employees to authorize payroll
deductions of up to 10% of their base compensation to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the first day of the offering period or the purchase date. No
shares have been issued under this plan as of December 31, 1999.
Stock-Based Compensation
Pro forma information regarding net loss is required by SFAS 123, which also
requires that the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for
its employee stock options granted under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The
fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the black
scholes method in 1999 and the minimum value method in 1998 and 1997 with the
following weighted average assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 5.55%,
5.15% and 6.16% for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively; no dividend yield; a
volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of
1.13 for 1999 and no volatility factor for 1998 or 1997; and a weighted average
expected life of the option of four years.
The option valuation models were developed for use in estimating the fair
value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the option. Because the
Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different
from those of traded options and because changes in
F-24
<PAGE>

and its predecessor division of Beyond.com Corporation
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate,
in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a
reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. Had
compensation cost been determined using the fair value at the grant date for
options granted calculated using the black scholes or the minimum value method
of SFAS 123, the Company's actual net loss would have been increased to the pro
forma amounts indicated below:
<TABLE>

Pro forma net loss (in thousands)............... $(32,607) $(10,250) $(4,339)
Pro forma and diluted net loss per share........ $ (2.14) $ (2.08)
</TABLE>
The weighted average fair value of options granted, which is the value
assigned to the options under SFAS 123, was $2.51, $0.08 and $0.02 per share
for options granted during 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The pro forma impact of options on the net loss for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 is not representative of the effects on net income
(loss) for future years, as future years will include the effects of options
vesting as well as the impact of multiple years of stock option grants.
8. Related Party Transactions
Funding Prior to Spin-off
Through December 31, 1997, the Company utilized Beyond.com's centralized
cash management services and processes related to receivables, payables,
payroll, and other activities. Through December 31, 1997, the Company's net
cash requirements were funded by Beyond.com. Net financing provided by
Beyond.com to the Company in 1997 was approximately $7,051,000 including
funding related to expenditures for operations and investing activities and
corporate services provided, as described below. There were no intercompany
transfers and no amounts were paid to Beyond.com by the Company in repayment of
the financing. Through the date of the Spin-off, this amount was included in
division equity. The average balance financed by Beyond.com during fiscal 1997,
which did not bear interest, was approximately $6,000,000.
Corporate Services
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 55, additional allocations
have been reflected in these financial statements for 1997. These expenses have
included corporate communications, management, compensation and benefits
administration, payroll, accounts payable, income tax compliance, and other
administration and finance overhead. Allocations and charges were based on
either a direct cost pass-through for incremental corporate administration,
finance and management costs and a percentage allocation of costs for other
services provided based on factors such as net sales, headcount, and relative
expenditure levels. Such allocations and corporate charges totaled $688,500 for
the year ended December 31, 1997.
Management believes that the basis used for allocating corporate services is
reasonable. However, the terms of these transactions may differ from those that
would result from transactions among unrelated parties. The CEO of the Company
is Chairman of the Board of Beyond.com, and the companies also have one other
member of their Board of Directors in common. Pursuant to the terms of an
agreement entered into in connection with the Spin-off from Beyond.com, the
Company provides services to Beyond.com on a nonexclusive basis. During 1999
and 1998, the Company recorded approximately $1,687,000 and $801,000,
respectively, of revenues related to these services. As of December 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998, amounts receivable from Beyond.com were approximately
$354,000 and $147,000, respectively.
F-25

CYBERSOURCE CORPORATION

NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
In July 1999, the Company purchased a software license from Beyond.com for
$600,000 which is being amortized to cost of revenues over two years.
Note Receivable Issued to Beyond.com
On March 18, 1998, the Company loaned $400,000 to Beyond.com. The note was
repaid as of June 1998.
Convertible Note Payable to Officer and Stockholder
In August 1998, the Company issued an unsecured convertible one-year
promissory note to an officer and stockholder from whom it had borrowed an
aggregate of $3,000,000 in July 1998. The note, which was amended in October
1998, was payable in full on October 21, 1999 and bore interest at a rate of
10% per annum. The note converted into 1,657,458 shares of Series E redeemable
convertible preferred stock in June 1999, prior to the completion of the
Company's initial public offering.
ExpressGold.com Shareholder Note Payable
ExpressGold had a note payable to its majority shareholder totaling $600,000
at December 31, 1999. The note accrues interest at 11% and is unsecured. In
conjunction with the acquisition of ExpressGold by CyberSource, the note was
cancelled in exchange for 15,956 shares of CyberSource common stock.
9. Litigation and Contingencies
A former Vice President of Product Management filed a lawsuit against the
Company in the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara County on April 8,
1999 seeking monetary and equitable relief. The plaintiff alleged several
causes of action, including wrongful termination, defamation, fraud, and unfair
business practices arising out of her three month employment with the Company.
On November 2, 1999, the lawsuit was settled for an immaterial amount.
In November 1999, a lawsuit was filed against the Company alleging that the
Company's payment services infringe upon two patents to certain automated
network payment, purchase and processing systems held by the plaintiff. While
there can be no assurances as to the outcome of this litigation, the Company
has obtained an opinion of patent counsel that the Company's payment services
do not infringe upon one of the plaintiff's patents and believes, based on
consultation with patent counsel, that its payment services do not infringe
upon the other patent. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the
claims asserted.
On January 7, 2000, ExpressGold received a letter from a former employee
claiming that ExpressGold had wrongfully terminated the employee in order to
deny vesting of his option to purchase ExpressGold's common shares (19,750
shares of the Company common stock based on the exchange ratio), as well as
breach of contract, conversion, and fraud. No formal lawsuit has been filed at
this time and the Company believes that the claims are without merit, and
intends to vigorously defend itself against these allegations.
From time to time, the Company may be involved in other litigation relating
to claims arising out of its ordinary course of business. The Company believes
that there are no claims or actions pending or threatened against the Company,
the ultimate disposition of which would have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
10. Income Taxes
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had federal and state net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $26,500,000 and $27,200,000, respectively.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company also had federal and state research credit
carryforwards of approximately $460,000 and $240,000, respectively.
F-26
<PAGE>
CYBERSOURCE CORPORATION
and its predecessor division of Beyond.com Corporation
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
The net operating loss and credit carryforwards will expire at various dates
beginning in 2006 through 2019, if not utilized. The utilization of the net
operating losses and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation
due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the
expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.
The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities for
federal and state income taxes at December 31, are as follows (in thousands):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998

============ ===========
Net deferred tax assets........................... $ -- $ --
============ ===========
</TABLE>
Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse. Based upon the weight of
available evidence, which includes the Company's historical operating
performance, the reported net losses in 1999 and 1998, and the uncertainties
regarding future results of operations of the Company, the Company has provided
a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as it is not
more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The
valuation allowance increased by $9,300,000 during 1999 and increased by
$3,900,000 during 1998.
11. Subsequent Events (Unaudited)
On March 1, 2000, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with
Japanese partners Marubeni Corporation and Trans-Cosmos, Inc. to establish
CyberSource K.K. to provide eCommerce transaction services to the Japanese
market. The Company will maintain a majority controlling interest in
CyberSource K.K., subject to certain veto rights granted to the partners until
CyberSource K.K. achieves at least $2 million in quarterly revenue.
In July 2000, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire the
outstanding common shares of PaylinX Corporation, a developer of a payment
server platform for real-time credit card transactions. Under the terms of the
agreement, CyberSource will issue approximately 8.46 million shares of its
common stock for the outstanding shares of PaylinX Corporation. The
acquisition, will be accounted for as a purchase and is subject to stockholder
and regulatory approval.

REPORT OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To PaylinX Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PaylinX Corporation (a
Missouri corporation) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
statements of operations, convertible redeemable preferred stock and
stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in

opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of PaylinX Corporation as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in

PAYLINX CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The Company:
PaylinX Corporation (the Company) designs, develops, markets, licenses and
supports point-of-sale software systems for the processing of electronic
payments, including those arising from internet e-commerce. The Company's
payment servers perform real-time authorization, settlement and management
functions for conventional and corporate purchasing card transactions in
consumer and business-to-business application environments.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money
market instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less.
Asset Impairment
The Company periodically assesses the carrying value of its long-lived
assets and recognizes impairment losses if it is determined the carrying values
are not recoverable.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when earned. The Company licenses software under
perpetual license agreements direct to customers and to resellers and provides
maintenance and support services. The Company's revenue recognition policies
are in compliance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statements of Position 97-2, 98-4 and 98-9, "Software Revenue Recognition."
License fee revenues are generally recognized when a license agreement has been
signed, the software product has been shipped, there are no uncertainties
surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable, and
collection is considered probable. For customer license agreements, which meet
these recognition criteria, the portion of the fees related to software
licenses will generally be recognized in the current period. The Company
allocates a portion of contractual license fees to postcontract support
activities covered under the contract including first year maintenance.
Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the maintenance period, which
generally is one year.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs required to
be capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
Leased or Otherwise Marketed," are not material.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes," which utilizes the liability method to calculate deferred
income taxes. Under this method, deferred taxes are
F-33
<PAGE>
PAYLINX CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between
financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the
provisions of enacted tax laws.
The significant deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
<TABLE>

----------- ---------
Net deferred tax asset............................... $ -- $ --
=========== =========
</TABLE>
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$13,401,000 at December 31, 1999, which expire through 2019 if not utilized by
the Company in its tax return. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, a valuation
allowance has been established to fully offset the net deferred tax asset.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by
dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding, unless the
calculation is antidilutive. For 1999, the net loss applicable to common
stockholders has been adjusted to reflect $429,000 of accretion related to the
Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock.
For all periods presented, the effect of dilutive securities is
antidilutive. As such, the denominator used in determining earnings per share
is the same for both basic and dilutive earnings per share.
3. Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging between three and seven years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their
useful lives or lease terms, as appropriate.
Property and equipment consist of the following at December 31:

PAYLINX CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
4. Debt:
Convertible Debt
From June to September 1999, the Company issued $5,787,000 of Convertible
Promissory Notes (Convertible Notes). The Convertible Notes are convertible to
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred) at 110% of the
original note value only upon completion of a subsequent funding round of at
least $10,000,000. The Convertible Notes have an interest rate of 8% payable
either in cash or additional Series B Preferred shares. The Convertible Notes
expire either one year from the date of execution of the Convertible Notes,
upon issuance of the Series B Preferred shares or upon any merger involving the
Company. If the Convertible Notes become exercisable and are not exercised, the
terms of the Convertible Notes are extended for one year. In January 2000, the
Company issued Series B Preferred shares and all Convertible Notes and the
associated interest were converted into Series B Preferred shares. See Note 8
for more information.
Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement
In October 1999, the Company executed an Accounts Receivable Purchase
Agreement (the Agreement) which allowed the Company to sell up to $2,000,000 in
qualified accounts receivable for a finance charge of 1.25% per month
multiplied by the average outstanding accounts receivable plus 1% of all
accounts receivable sold that month. The Company agreed to repurchase all
accounts receivable over 90 days old, as well as any disputed accounts
receivable. The Agreement gave the issuer a lien on the cash, receivables,
property and other assets of the Company. The agreement expires in October
2000, but automatically renews without cancellation by either the Company or
the issuer. At December 31, 1999, there were no accounts receivable sold under
the Agreement.
In association with the Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase
14,285 Series A Preferred Stock (Series A) at an initial exercise price of
$10.50. These warrants expire October 13, 2004.
Short-Term Bridge Notes
In November and December 1999, the Company issued $4,000,000 in Short-Term
Bridge Notes (Short-Term Notes). The Short-Term Notes pay interest of 9% and
are due within 90 days of issuance. In January 2000, the Company issued Series
B Preferred Shares and all Short-Term Notes and the associated interest were
converted into Series B Preferred Shares. See Note 8 for more information.
Letter of Credit
In association with the Company's lease of office space, the Company was
required to establish a letter of credit. The maximum amount available under
the letter of credit was $325,000 and is payable to the lessor. The letter of
credit is secured by certificates of deposit totaling $325,000 which are
included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet. The required letter
of credit decreases over the term of the lease.
5. Retirement Plan:
In February 1999, the Company established an employee benefit plan qualified
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code through which eligible
employees may defer a portion of their salaries. The Company's contributions to
the plan are discretionary. The Company elected not to contribute to the Plan
in 1999.
6. Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit):
Common Stock
On July 1, 1999, the stockholders approved a two for one stock split. All
per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this split for
all years presented.

PAYLINX CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
During October and December 1998, the Company issued 400,800 shares of
Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred) along with
warrants to purchase up to 30,000 shares of common stock. Total proceeds from
the issuance were $4,008,100 with $10 per share allocated to the Series A
Preferred and $100 allocated to the warrants. Any excess of mandatory
redemption value over original recorded value is accreted to the earliest
possible redemption date. The periodic accretion is charged directly to
retained earnings (deficit). The Series A Preferred Shares were exchanged for
new shares of Series A preferred stock in conjunction with the subsequent event
described in Note 8.
The Series A Preferred stockholders have preemptive rights to purchase new
issuances of securities.
Each warrant issued allows the warrant holder to purchase one share of
common stock for $5 per share, subject to adjustment as defined in the
certificate of incorporation. The warrants expire in October 2003. The warrants
vest and become exercisable through December 31, 1999, contingent on the
occurrence of certain events as defined in the Preferred Stock Agreement.
Stock Options
In connection with the sale and issuance of preferred stock in October 1998,
the Company issued stock options primarily to the founders and certain
employees. Options continued to be granted to all new employees through
December 31, 1999. The options vest over a four-year period. There is no
vesting for the first six months, options are 6/48 vested at the end of the
sixth month, then vesting is straight-line through the 48th month. In
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees," compensation expense is recorded evenly over the
period services are received (the vesting period) and measured based on the
intrinsic value of the options at the date of grant. In 1999 and 1998,
$1,693,651 and $77,000 was recorded as compensation expense related to stock
options, respectively.
A summary of the status of the Company's stock options for 1999 and 1998
(restated for the 1999 stock split) is presented in the table below:

</TABLE>
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions
used for grants in 1999 and 1998, respectively: risk-free interest rates
ranging from 4.61% to 6.14% and 4.48% to 4.75%; expected dividend yield of
0.0%; and expected lives of four years. The range of exercise prices for the
options outstanding at December 31, 1999, was $1.00 to $7.50. The exercise
price for all options outstanding at December 31, 1998, was $1.00. The
weighted-average
F-36

PAYLINX CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
remaining contractual life was 3.3 and 3.8 years for options outstanding at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company's net loss and basic and diluted loss per share would not
significantly differ for 1999 and 1998 had compensation expense for the
Company's 1999 and 1998 grants of stock options been determined consistent with
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The effects of the
application of SFAS 123 in this disclosure are not indicative of the pro forma
effect on net income (loss) in future years.
7. Commitments and Contingencies:
The Company leases its St. Louis facility under an operating lease agreement
expiring in 2004 with renewal options.
In December 1999, the Company leased facilities in Reston, Virginia, and
will move the headquarters there. The Company will vacate certain leased space
in St. Louis, Missouri, and sublease the vacated space through March 31, 2001.
A reserve for the amount of the lease payments in excess of the sublease has
been established and constitutes the balance of other long-term obligations in
the accompanying balance sheets. The sublease renews automatically for a period
through October 31, 2004, unless canceled by either party. Additionally, the
Company has recognized a loss on disposal of assets of $444,503 due to writing
down leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures to the net realizable
value as of December 31, 1999.
As of December 31, 1999, minimum future lease payments under leases are as
follows:

Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was
$ 485,411, $47,802 and $10,234, respectively.
The Company at times is a party to various claims and legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that
the ultimate disposition of any or all such proceedings will have a material
adverse effect upon the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.
8. Subsequent Events:
In January 2000, the shareholders of the Company voted to merge PaylinX
Corporation, a Missouri corporation, with PaylinX Corporation, a Delaware
corporation. The new company adopted a certificate of incorporation which
authorized 20,000,000 shares of common stock with a $0.01 per share par value.
The certificate of incorporation also authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock. In conjunction therewith, PaylinX Corporation, Delaware exchanges
801,600 shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (New Series A
Preferred) for the 400,800 shares of Series A Preferred from PaylinX
Corporation, Missouri.
Additionally, the Company issued 3,836,472.15 shares of Series B Convertible
Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred) with a par value of $0.01 for
$7.824538 per share. The Convertible Notes (at 110%
F-37
<PAGE>
PAYLINX CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
of the original note value) and Short-Term Bridge Notes plus the associated
accrued interest were converted or exchanged for shares of the Series B
Preferred.
Under the certificate of incorporation, each share of New Series A Preferred
and Series B Preferred may be voluntarily converted into one share of common
stock, subject to certain conversion adjustments as defined in the certificate
of incorporation at anytime. The New Series A Preferred and the Series B
Preferred will automatically be converted into common stock upon an initial
public offering valued at not less than $20 million.
The New Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred are mandatorily redeemable
by the Company as follows: half of the then outstanding shares of New Series A
Preferred and Series B Preferred on the fifth anniversary of the original
issuance date, half of the then outstanding shares of New Series A Preferred
and Series B Preferred on the sixth anniversary of the original issuance date
and the remaining outstanding shares of New Series A Preferred and Series B
Preferred on the seventh anniversary of the original issuance date. The
redemption price at each of the redemption dates will be the greater of $5 and
$7.824538 per share or fair market value, plus any declared and unpaid
dividends for the New Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, respectively.
The fair market value of the New Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred is
to be determined by independent appraisers appointed by the Company and the New
Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred stockholders.
The New Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred stockholders have
preemptive rights to purchase new issuances of securities. If this transaction
had been completed at December 31, 1999, the effect of this transaction on the
December 31, 1999, balance sheet would have been as follows:

PAYLINX CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The Company
PaylinX Corporation (the Company) designs, develops, markets, licenses and
supports point-of-sale software systems for the processing of electronic
payments, including those arising from internet e-commerce. The Company's
payment servers perform real-time authorization, settlement and management
functions for conventional and corporate purchasing card transactions in
consumer and business-to-business application environments.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, interim financial statements of PaylinX
Corporation omit or condense certain footnotes and other information normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. This report should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes to the financial statements as of and
for the year ended December 31, 1999. In the opinion of Management, all
adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of interim period results have been made. The interim
results reflected in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of
results expected for the full year, or future periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when earned. The Company licenses software under
perpetual license agreements direct to customers and to resellers and provides
maintenance and support services. The Company's revenue recognition policies
are in compliance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statements of Position 97-2, 98-4 and 98-9, "Software Revenue Recognition."
License fee revenues are generally recognized when a license agreement has been
signed, the software product has been shipped, there are no uncertainties
surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable, and
collection is considered probable. For customer license agreements, which meet
these recognition criteria, the portion of the fees related to software
licenses will generally be recognized in the current period. The Company
allocates a portion of contractual license fees to postcontract support
activities covered under the contract including first year maintenance.
Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the maintenance period, which
generally is one year.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by
dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding, unless the
calculation is antidilutive. For the six months and three months ended June 30,
2000, the net loss applicable to common stockholders has been adjusted to
reflect $177,736 and $88,868, respectively, of accretion related to the Series
A convertible redeemable preferred stock. For all periods presented, the effect
of dilutive securities is antidilutive. As such, the denominator used in
determining earnings per share is the same for both basic and dilutive earnings
per share.

PAYLINX CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
3. Debt
Convertible Debt
From June to September 1999, the Company issued $5,787,000 of Convertible
Promissory Notes (Convertible Notes). The Convertible Notes are convertible to
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred) at 110% of the
original note value only upon completion of a subsequent funding round of at
least $10,000,000. The Convertible Notes have an interest rate of 8% payable
either in cash or additional Series B Preferred shares. In January 2000, the
Company issued Series B Preferred shares and all Convertible Notes and the
associated interest were converted into Series B Preferred shares. See Note 4
for more information.
Short-Term Bridge Notes
In November and December 1999, the Company issued $4,000,000 in Short-Term
Bridge Notes (Short-Term Notes). In January 2000, the Company issued Series B
Preferred Shares and all Short-Term Notes and the associated interest were
converted into Series B Preferred Shares. See Note 4 for more information.
4. Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)
Common Stock
On July 1, 1999, the shareholders approved a two for one stock split. All
per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this split for
all years presented.
Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
During October and December 1998, the Company issued 400,800 shares of
Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred) along with
warrants to purchase up to 30,000 shares of common stock. Total proceeds from
the issuance were $4,008,100 with $10 per share allocated to the Series A
Preferred and $100 allocated to the warrants. Any excess of mandatory
redemption value over original recorded value is accreted to the earliest
possible redemption date. The periodic accretion is charged directly to
retained earnings (deficit). The Series A Preferred Shares were exchanged for
new shares of Series A preferred stock in conjunction with the transaction
described below.
Each warrant issued allows the warrant holder to purchase one share of
common stock for $5 per share, subject to adjustment as defined in the
certificate of incorporation. The warrants expire in October 2003. The warrants
vest and become exercisable through December 31, 1999, contingent on the
occurrence of certain events as defined in the Preferred Stock Agreement.
In January 2000, the shareholders of the Company voted to merge PaylinX
Corporation, a Missouri corporation, with PaylinX Corporation, a Delaware
corporation. The new company issued a certificate of incorporation which
authorized 20,000,000 shares of common stock with a $0.01 per share par value.
The certificate of incorporation also authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock. In conjunction therewith, PaylinX Corporation, Delaware exchanged
801,600 shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (New Series A
Preferred) for the 400,800 shares of Series A Preferred from PaylinX
Corporation, Missouri.
Additionally, in February 2000, the Company issued 3,836,472.15 shares of
Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred) with a par
value of $0.01 for $7.824538 per share. The Convertible Notes (at 110% of the
original note value) and Short-Term Bridge Notes plus the associated accrued
interest were converted or exchanged for shares of the Series B Preferred.

PAYLINX CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Under the certificate of incorporation, each share of New Series A
Preferred and Series B Preferred may be voluntarily converted into one share
of common stock, subject to certain conversion adjustments as defined in the
certificate of incorporation at anytime. The New Series A Preferred and the
Series B Preferred will automatically be converted into common stock upon an
initial public offering or sale valued at not less than $20 million.
The New Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred are mandatorily
redeemable by the Company as follows: half of the then outstanding shares of
New Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred on the fifth anniversary of the
original issuance date, half of the then outstanding shares of New Series A
Preferred and Series B Preferred on the sixth anniversary of the original
issuance date and the remaining outstanding shares of New Series A Preferred
and Series B Preferred on the seventh anniversary of the original issuance
date. The redemption price at each of the redemption dates will be the greater
of $5 and $7.824538 per share or fair market value, plus any declared and
unpaid dividends for the New Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred,
respectively.
The New Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred stockholders have
preemptive rights to purchase new issuances of securities.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company at times is a party to various claims and legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that
the ultimate disposition of any or all such proceedings will have a material
adverse effect upon the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.
6. Subsequent Event
On July 9, 2000, the Company signed an agreement and plan of merger with
CyberSource Corporation.

"Agreement"), by and among CyberSource Corporation ("Acquiror"), a Delaware
corporation, Sapphire Merger, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware corporation, and
PaylinX Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation. Certain
capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Acquiror, Merger Sub and the Company
each have determined that the acquisition of the Company by Acquiror is in the
best interests of their respective companies and stockholders and presents an
opportunity for their respective companies to achieve long-term strategic and
financial benefits, and accordingly have agreed to effect the merger provided
for herein upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the merger
contemplated herein shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
THE MERGER
1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at
the Effective Time Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the
Company shall be the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") and
the separate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease (the "Merger").
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time all
property, rights, powers, privileges and franchises of Merger Sub shall vest in
the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Merger Sub
shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
Immediately following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror.
1.2 Effective Time of the Merger. The Merger shall become effective when a
properly executed certificate of merger (the "Certificate of Merger"), in such
form as may be agreed by the parties hereto and as required by the relevant
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), has been duly
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which filings shall
be made as part of the Closing upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
set forth in Article 7. When used in this Agreement, the term "Effective Time"
shall mean the date and time at which such Certificate of Merger has been
accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at
such later time as is provided in the Certificate of Merger.
ARTICLE 2
THE SURVIVING CORPORATION
2.1 Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company, as amended and restated to read as the
Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub and as attached as Exhibit A to the
Certificate of Merger, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such
Certificate of Incorporation.
2.2 Bylaws. The Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until
thereafter amended.
1
<PAGE>
2.3 Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation. The directors of the
Company shall resign effective as of the Effective Time. The directors of
Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial
directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with
the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and
the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the
initial and only officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until
their respective successors are duly elected or appointed.
ARTICLE 3
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES
3.1 Conversion of Shares.
(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on
the part of the holders thereof, and subject to Section 3.10, each share of
common stock, $.01 par value per share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock")
and each share of the Company's preferred stock, $.01 par value per share
("Company Preferred Stock," and, together with the Company Common Stock, the
"Company Stock"), that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of
the certificate formerly representing such share of Company Stock (the
"Certificate"), one and two-tenths (1.2) shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of
Common Stock of Acquiror, $0.001 par value per share ("Acquiror Stock");
provided, however, that each share of Company Stock that is held in the
treasury of the Company or by any subsidiary of the Company immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall not be so converted but shall be canceled and
retired, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
(b) In no event shall Acquiror be obligated to issue more than 8,450,797
shares of Acquiror Stock to holders of Company Stock as of the date of this
Agreement, plus shares of Acquiror Stock upon conversion of Company Stock
issued upon exercise of options to purchase up to 2,430,128 shares of Company
Common Stock and warrants to purchase 14,286 shares of Company Common Stock.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Stockholder shall have a
claim against Acquiror, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation if there is a
breach of Section 4.3 resulting in a Stockholder receiving a lesser number of
shares of Acquiror Stock.
(c) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on
the part of the holder thereof, each share of the common stock, no par value
per share, of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be converted into and continue as one share of the
common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
3.2 Options.
(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Company
Common Stock (a "Stock Option") subject to the Company's 2000 Stock Option Plan
(the "Company Stock Option Plan"), whether vested or unvested, shall by virtue
of the Merger be deemed assumed by Acquiror and will constitute an option to
acquire the number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of shares of
Acquiror Stock as the holder of such Stock Option would have been entitled to
receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such option in full
immediately prior to the Effective Time (not taking into account whether or not
such option was in fact exercisable), at a price per share rounded up to the

constitute the right to acquire the number (rounded down to the nearest whole
number) of shares of Acquiror Stock as the holder of such warrant would have
been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such
warrant in full immediately prior to the Effective Time (not taking into
account whether or not such warrant was in fact exercisable), at a price per
share rounded up to the nearest whole cent equal to (x) the aggregate exercise
price for Company Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such warrant
divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio; provided that any such warrant will remain

agent (the "Exchange Agent"), certificates representing the number of whole
shares of Acquiror Stock into which such shares of Company Stock are converted
in the Merger (excluding the Escrow Shares), subject to this Section 3.3. The
shares of Acquiror Stock into which the shares of the Company Stock shall be
converted in the Merger shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange
Agent shall mail to each Stockholder (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall

to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions
as Acquiror may reasonably specify that are not inconsistent with the terms of
this Agreement) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the
Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Acquiror
Stock. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent
together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such
Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (y) a certificate
representing that number of whole shares of Acquiror Stock that the holder is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.3 and (z) a check representing
the amount of cash which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the
Certificate so surrendered pursuant to Section 3.6.

Agent (the "Escrow Agreement"), ten percent (10%) of the aggregate number of
shares of Acquiror Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 3.1 in respect of
Company Stock (the "Escrow Fund"). Such shares shall be held in escrow on
behalf of the Stockholders, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with each such

certificates representing shares of Acquiror Stock until such Persons surrender
their Certificates. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the Person in
whose name the certificates representing such shares of Acquiror Stock shall be
issued any dividends which shall have become payable with respect to such
shares of Acquiror Stock between the Effective Time and the time of such
surrender. In no event shall the Person entitled to receive such dividends be
entitled to receive interest on such dividends.

therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the
Person requesting such exchange shall (i) pay to the Exchange Agent any
transfer or other taxes required by

paid or is not applicable.

no fractional shares of Acquiror Stock shall be issued pursuant to the Merger.
In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share of Acquiror Stock, cash
adjustments will be paid in respect of any fractional share of Acquiror Stock
that would otherwise be issuable. The amount of such adjustment shall be the
product of (i) such fraction of a share of Acquiror Stock multiplied by (ii)
the Exchange Price.
3.7 Closing of Company Transfer Books. Upon the Closing, the stock transfer
books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of shares of Company Stock
shall thereafter be made. If Certificates are presented to the Surviving
Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for certificates representing
shares of Acquiror Stock or cash in accordance with the terms hereof. The
holders of shares of Company Stock to be exchanged for shares of Acquiror Stock
pursuant to this Agreement shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of
the Company, except for the right to surrender such Certificates in exchange
for shares of Acquiror Stock as provided hereunder or such appraisal rights as

carry out the provisions of this Agreement, the officers and directors of the
Surviving Corporation are hereby authorized and empowered on behalf of the
Company in the name of and on behalf of the Company to execute and deliver any

shares of Company Stock held by a Stockholder who has exercised such holder's
appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL and who, as of the Effective Time,
has not effectively withdrawn or lost such dissenter's rights ("Dissenting
Shares"), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the
consideration described in Section 3.1, but the holder of the Dissenting Shares
shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted by the DGCL.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, if any
Stockholder who demands appraisal rights with respect to such shares shall
effectively withdraw or lose (through the failure to perfect or otherwise) such
Stockholder's appraisal rights under the DGCL, then, as of the Effective Time
or the occurrence of such event, such Stockholder's shares shall automatically
be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration
described in Section 3.1, subject in any event to Section 3.5.

affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such Acquiror Stock as may be
required pursuant to Section 3.1; provided, however, that Acquiror may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the
owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such
sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made
against Acquiror or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged
to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

entitled to indemnification for the full amount of Damages identified in such
Stockholders' Agent Certificate or Certificates.

except with respect to claims made prior to the Expiration Date, but not

(d) The limitations of Section 8.1 and this Section 8.3 shall not apply in
the case of a fraudulent or intentional misrepresentation by any party, but no
Person shall be liable for any such misrepresentation or breach by any other
Person (except to the extent of its share of the consideration received
pursuant to Section 3.1 above if such misrepresentation or breach is by the
Company).
8.4 Escrow Periods. The Escrow Fund shall commence on the date hereof and
terminate on the first anniversary of the Closing (the "Escrow Period"),
provided, however, that the number of Escrow Shares, which, in the reasonable
judgment of Acquiror, subject to the objection of the Stockholders' Agent and
the subsequent resolution of the matter in the manner provided in Section 8.8,
are necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer's
Certificate theretofore delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholders'
Agent prior to termination of the Escrow Period with respect to Damages
incurred or litigation pending prior to expiration of the Escrow Period, shall
remain in the Escrow Fund until such claims have been finally resolved, or, if
earlier, until released in accordance with Section 8.1 above and 8.5 below.
8.5 Claims Upon Escrow Fund. Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent on or before
the last day of the Escrow Period of a certificate signed by any appropriately
authorized officer of Acquiror (an "Officer's Certificate"):
(i) Stating the aggregate amount of Acquiror's Damages or an estimate
thereof, in each case to the extent known or determinable at such time, and
(ii) Specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such
Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid
or properly accrued or arose, and the nature of the misrepresentation,
breach or claim to which such item is related, then the Escrow Agent shall,
subject to the provisions of Sections 8.3, 8.7 and 8.8 hereof, deliver to
Acquiror out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, Escrow Shares
having a value equal to such Damages all in accordance with the Escrow
Agreement and Section 8.6 below. Amounts paid or distributed from the
Escrow Fund shall be paid or distributed pro rata among the Holders (as

interests therein at the time.

for their respective Damages pursuant to this Agreement, the value per share of
the Escrow Shares and the total consideration received pursuant to Section 3.1

the amount of any indemnity, there shall be taken into account any tax benefit,
insurance proceeds or other similar recovery or offset realized, directly or
indirectly.
8.7 Objections to Claims to Escrow Fund. At the time of delivery of any
Officer's Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such Officer's
Certificate shall be delivered to the Stockholders' Agent and for a period of
thirty (30) days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery
of Escrow Shares pursuant to Section 8.5 unless the Escrow Agent shall have
received written authorization from the Stockholders' Agent to make such
delivery. After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent
shall make delivery of the Escrow Shares in the Escrow Fund in accordance with
Section 8.5, provided that no such delivery may be made if the Stockholders'
Agent shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer's
Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent
and to Acquiror prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.
35
<PAGE>
8.8 Resolution of Conflicts.
(a) In case the Stockholders' Agent or Acquiror, as applicable shall object
in writing to any claim or claims made in any Acquiror's Officer's Certificate
or Stockholders' Agent Certificate, the non-objecting party shall have thirty
(30) days to respond in a written statement to the objection. If after such
thirty (30) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the
Stockholders' Agent and Acquiror shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30)
days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of
such claims. If the Stockholders' Agent and Acquiror should so agree, a
memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both
parties and, if Acquiror has requested delivery of Escrow Shares, shall be
furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on
any such memorandum and shall distribute the Escrow Shares from the Escrow Fund
in accordance with the terms of the memorandum.
(b) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either
Acquiror or the Stockholders' Agent may, by written notice to the other, demand
arbitration of the matter, unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue
in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not
be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to
arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by
arbitration conducted by three (3) arbitrators. Within fifteen (15) days after
such written notice is sent, Acquiror (on the one hand) and the Stockholders'
Agent (on the other hand) shall each select one arbitrator, and the two
arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The decision of the
arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer's
Certificate or Stockholders' Agent Certificate shall be binding and conclusive
upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Sections
8.1 through 8.5, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with
such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in
accordance with such decision.

receive notices and communications, to authorize delivery to Acquiror of the
Escrow Shares or other property from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims
by Acquiror, to object to such deliveries, to agree to, negotiate, enter into
settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders
of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take
all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders' Agent
for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Such agency may be changed by the
holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Shares from time to time upon
not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice to Acquiror. No bond shall be
required of the Stockholders' Agent, and the Stockholders' Agent shall receive
no compensation for services. Notices or communications to or from the
Stockholders' Agent shall constitute notice to or from each of the
Stockholders.
(b) The Stockholders' Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted
hereunder as Stockholders' Agent while acting in good faith, and any act done
or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of
such good faith. The Stockholders shall jointly and severally indemnify the
Stockholders' Agent and hold him harmless against any loss, liability or
expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Stockholders' Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of his duties under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement,
provided, that the Stockholders' Agent shall be reimbursed for counsel fees and

Agreement or the Escrow Agreement from the proceeds of the sale of Escrow
Shares by the Stockholder Agent. For such purpose, the Stockholder Agent shall
be authorized to direct the Escrow Agent to deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Stockholder Agent such number of Escrow Shares the sale of which by the
Stockholder Agent in ordinary open-market brokers transactions is sufficient
to cover such out-of-pocket costs.
(c) The Stockholders' Agent shall have reasonable access to information
about Company and Acquiror and the reasonable assistance of Company's and
Acquiror's officers and employees for purposes of performing its duties and
exercising its rights under this Article 8, provided that the Stockholders'
Agent shall treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information
from or about Company or Acquiror to anyone (except on a need to know basis to
individuals who agree to treat such information confidentially).
8.10 Actions of the Stockholders' Agent. A decision, act, consent or
instruction of the Stockholders' Agent shall constitute a decision of all of
the Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such
Stockholder, and the Escrow Agent and Acquiror may rely upon any decision,
act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders' Agent as being the decision,
act, consent or instruction of each and every such Stockholder. The Escrow
Agent and Acquiror are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for
any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or
instruction of the Stockholders' Agent.
8.11 Claims. In the event Acquiror becomes aware of a third-party claim
which Acquiror believes may result in a demand against the Stockholders,
Acquiror shall notify the Stockholders' Agent of such claim, and the
Stockholders' Agent and the Stockholders shall be entitled, at their expense,
to participate in any defense of such claim. Acquiror shall have the right in
its sole discretion to settle any such claim; provided, however, that Acquiror
may not effect the settlement of any such claim without the consent of the
Stockholders' Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the
event that the Stockholders' Agent has consented to any such settlement, the
Stockholders' Agent shall have no power or authority to object to the amount
of any claim by Acquiror against the Stockholders for indemnity with respect
to such settlement, unless such claim is in an amount in excess of any amount
consented to by the Stockholders' Agent.

ANNEX B
July 9, 2000
The Board of Directors
CyberSource Corporation
1295 Charleston Road
Mountain View, CA 94043
Attention: William S. Mckiernan
Chief Executive Officer
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of
view, to CyberSource Corporation (the "Company") of the consideration proposed
to be paid by the Company in connection with the proposed merger (the "Merger")
of the Company with Paylinx Corporation (the "Seller"). Pursuant to the
Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2000 (the "Agreement"), among the Company, the
Seller and Sapphire Acquisition Corporation ("the Merger Subsidiary"), the
Seller will be merged with the Merger Subsidiary and become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and the Company will pay for each share of Common
Stock, par value $0.01 per share, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value $0.01 per share, and Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of the Seller, a consideration equal to 1.20 shares of
the Common Stock of the Company (the "Exchange Ratio").
In arriving at our opinion, we have reviewed (i) the Agreement; (ii) certain
information concerning the business of the Seller and of certain other
companies engaged in businesses comparable to those of the Seller, and the
reported market prices for certain other companies' securities deemed
comparable; (iii) current and historical market prices of the common stock of
the Company; (iv) the audited financial statements of the Company and the
Seller for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, and the unaudited financial
statements of the Company and the Seller for the period ended March 31, 2000;
(v) certain internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by the Company
and the Seller and their respective managements; and (vi) the terms of other
business combinations that we deemed relevant.
In addition, we have held discussions with certain members of the management
of the Company and the Seller with respect to certain aspects of the Merger,
and the past and current business operations of the Company and the Seller, the
financial condition and future prospects and operations of the Company and the
Seller, the effects of the Merger on the financial condition and future
prospects of the Company and the Seller, and certain other matters we believed
necessary or appropriate to our inquiry. We have reviewed such other financial
studies and analyses and considered such other information as we deemed
appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.
In giving our opinion, we have relied upon and assumed, without independent
verification, the accuracy and completeness of all information that was
publicly available or was furnished to us by the Company and the Seller or
otherwise reviewed by us, and we have not assumed any responsibility or
liability therefor. We have not conducted any valuation or appraisal of any
assets or liabilities, nor have any such valuations or appraisals been provided
to us. In relying on financial analyses and forecasts provided to us, we have
assumed that they have been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting
the best currently available estimates and judgments by management as to the
expected future results of operations and financial condition of the Company
and the Seller to which such analyses or forecasts relate. We have also assumed
that the Merger will have the tax consequences described in discussions with,
and materials furnished to us by, representatives of the Company, and that the
other transactions contemplated by the Agreement will be consummated as
described in the Agreement. We have relied as to all legal matters relevant to
rendering our opinion upon the advice of counsel.
<PAGE>
Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, market and other conditions as
in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof.
It should be understood that subsequent developments may affect this opinion
and that we do not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm this
opinion. We are expressing no opinion herein as to the price at which the
Company's stock will trade at any future time.
We have acted as financial advisor to the Company with respect to the
proposed Merger and will receive a fee from the Company for our services if the
proposed Merger is consummated. In the ordinary course of their businesses,
J.P. Morgan and its affiliates may actively trade the equity securities of the
Company for their own account or for the accounts of customers and,
accordingly, they may at any time hold long or short positions in such
securities.
On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion as of the
date hereof that the Exchange Ratio in the proposed Merger is fair, from a
financial point of view, to the Company.
This letter is provided to the Board of Directors of the Company in
connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the Merger. This
opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of the Company
as to how such stockholder should vote with respect to the Merger. This opinion
may not be disclosed, referred to, or communicated (in whole or in part) to any
third party for any purpose whatsoever except with our prior written consent in
each instance. This opinion may be reproduced in full in any proxy or
information statement mailed to stockholders of the Company but may not
otherwise be disclosed publicly in any manner without our prior written
approval and must be treated as confidential.
Very truly yours,
/s/ J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.

ANNEX C
CYBERSOURCE CORPORATION
1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN
(amended and restated April, 2000)
(amended July, 2000)
1. Purpose. This 1999 Stock Option Plan/1/ ("Plan") is established as a
compensatory plan to attract, retain and provide equity incentives to selected
persons to promote the financial success of CyberSource Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"). Capitalized terms not previously defined herein
are defined in Section 18 of this Plan.
2. Types of Options and Shares. Options granted under this Plan (the
"Options") may be either (a) incentive stock options ("ISOs") within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), or (b) nonqualified stock options (also known as "nonstatutory stock
options") ("NQSOs"), as designated at the time of grant. The shares of stock
that may be purchased upon exercise of Options granted under this Plan (the
"Shares") are shares of Common Stock of the Company ("Common Stock").
3. Number of Shares. The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued
pursuant to Options granted under this Plan is 7,000,000 Shares, subject to
adjustment as provided in this Plan. If any Option expires or is terminated
without being exercised in whole or in part, the unexercised or released Shares
from such Option shall be available for future grant and purchase under this
Plan. Shares that actually have been issued under the Plan shall not be
returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future issuance under
the Plan, except that if unvested Shares are forfeited, or repurchased by the
Company at their original purchase price, such Shares shall become available
for future grant under the Plan. At all times during the term of this Plan, the
Company shall reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
required to satisfy the requirements of outstanding Options under this Plan.
4. Eligibility.
(a) General Rules of Eligibility. Options may be granted to employees,
officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors
(provided such consultants, contractors and advisors render bona fide services
not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction) of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Company. ISOs may be granted only to employees (including officers and
directors who are also employees) of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of
the Company. The Committee (as defined in Section 15) in its sole discretion
shall select the recipients of Options ("Optionees"). An Optionee may be
granted more than one Option under this Plan.
(b) Company Assumption of Options. The Company may also, from time to time,
assume outstanding options granted by another company, whether in connection
with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either (i) granting
an Option under this Plan in replacement of the Option assumed by the Company,
or (ii) treating the assumed option as if it had been granted under this Plan
if the terms of such assumed option could be applied to an Option granted under
this Plan. Such assumption shall be permissible if the holder of the assumed
option would have been eligible to be granted an Option hereunder if the other
company had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant.
--------
(/1/)Approved by the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders in
January, 1999.

<PAGE>
5. Terms and Conditions of Options. The Committee shall determine whether
each Option is to be an ISO or an NQSO, the number of Shares subject to the
Option, the exercise price of the Option, the period during which the Option
may be exercised, and all other terms and conditions of the Option, subject to
the following:
(a) Form of Option Grant. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be
evidenced by a written Stock Option Grant (the "Grant") in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit A-1 (with respect to grants made
to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 6 hereof) or such other form as
shall be approved by the Committee.
(b) Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option shall be the date on which
the Committee makes the determination to grant such Option unless otherwise
specified by the Committee and subject to applicable provisions of the Code.
The Grant representing the Option will be delivered to the Optionee with a copy
of this Plan within a reasonable time after the date of grant; provided,
however, that if, for any reason, including a unilateral decision by the
Committee not to execute an agreement evidencing such Option, a written Grant
is not executed within sixty (60) days after the date of grant, such Option
shall be deemed null and void (at the discretion of the Committee). No Option
shall be exercisable until such Grant is executed by the Company and the
Optionee.
(c) Exercise Price. The exercise price of an NQSO shall be not less than
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
the Option is granted. The exercise price of an ISO shall be not less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the
Option is granted. The exercise price of any Option granted to a person owning
more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company ("Ten
Percent Shareholders") shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of
the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is granted. In the
case of Options intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the
exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant.
(d) Exercise Period. Options shall be exercisable within the times or upon
the events determined by the Committee as set forth in the Grant; provided,
however, that, so long as required by Applicable Laws, each Option must become
exercisable at a rate of at least twenty percent (20%) per year over five (5)
years from the date the Option is granted; provided further, that no Option
shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the
Option is granted; and provided further, that no ISO granted to a Ten Percent
Shareholder shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from
the date the Option is granted. The Committee may grant an Option whereby the
Optionee may elect to exercise any or all of the Option prior to full vesting.
Any unvested Shares received pursuant to such exercise may be subject to a
repurchase right in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the
Committee determines to be appropriate.
(e) Limitations on Options. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as
of the time an Option is granted) of stock with respect to which ISOs are
exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under
this Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) shall not exceed one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000). To the extent that the Fair Market Value of stock with
respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during
any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Options for the amount in excess of
$100,000 shall be treated as not being ISOs and shall be treated as NQSOs. The
foregoing shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which
they were granted. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated
thereunder are amended after the effective date of this Plan to provide for a
different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to
ISOs, such different limit shall be incorporated herein and shall apply to any
Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.
(f) Individual Option Limit. The maximum number of Shares with respect to
which Options may be granted to any Optionee in any fiscal year of the Company
shall be one million (1,000,000) Shares. The foregoing limitation shall be
adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company's
2
<PAGE>
capitalization pursuant to Section 12, below. To the extent required by Section
162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing
limitation with respect to an Optionee, if any Option is canceled, the canceled
Option shall continue to count against the maximum number of Shares with
respect to which Options may be granted to the Optionee. For this purpose, the
repricing of an Option shall be treated as the cancellation of the existing
Option and the grant of a new Option.
(g) Options Non-Transferable. To the extent provided in an individual Grant,
NQSOs shall be transferable by gift to members of the Optionee's Immediate
Family, by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust under which the
NQSOs are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the Optionee as
settlor of the trust, by will, and by the laws of descent and distribution.
ISOs granted under this Plan, and any interest therein, shall not be
transferable or assignable by the Optionee, and may not be made subject to
execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the
Optionee only by the Optionee or any permitted transferee.
(h) Assumed Options. In the event the Company assumes an option granted by
another company in accordance with Section 4(b) above, the terms and conditions
of such option shall remain unchanged (except the exercise price and the number
and nature of shares issuable upon exercise, which will be adjusted
appropriately pursuant to Section 424 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
applicable thereto). In the event the Company elects to grant a new Option
rather than assuming an existing option (as specified in Section 4), such new
Option need not be granted at Fair Market Value on the date of grant and may
instead be granted with a similarly adjusted exercise price.
(i) Termination of Options. Except as otherwise provided in an Optionee's
Grant, Options granted under the Plan shall terminate and may not be exercised
if the Optionee ceases to be employed by, or provide services to, the Company
or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company (or, in the case of a NQSO, by or to
any Affiliate of the Company). An Optionee shall be considered to be employed
by the Company for all purposes under this Section 5(i) if the Optionee is an
officer, director or full-time employee of the Company or any Parent,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or if the Committee determines that the
Optionee is rendering substantial services as a part-time employee, consultant,
contractor or advisor to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of
the Company. The Committee shall have discretion to determine whether an
Optionee has ceased to be employed by the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company and the effective date on which such employment
terminated (the "Termination Date").
(j) Termination Generally. If an Optionee ceases to be employed by the
Company and all Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Company for any
reason except death or disability, the Options which are then exercisable (and
only to the extent exercisable)(the "Vested Options") by the Optionee on the
Termination Date, may be exercised by the Optionee, but only within three
months after the Termination Date or such shorter period of time as provided in
the Grant, but in no event less than thirty (30) days; provided that Options
may not be exercised in any event after the Expiration Date.
(k) Death or Disability. If an Optionee's employment with the Company and
all Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Company is terminated because
of the death of the Optionee or the permanent and total disability of the
Optionee within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the Vested
Options, as determined on the Termination Date, may be exercised by the
Optionee (or the Optionee's legal representative), but only within twelve (12)
months after the Termination Date; and provided further that Options may not be
exercised in any event later than the Expiration Date. If an Optionee's
employment with the Company and all Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the
Company is terminated because of a disability of the Optionee which is not
permanent and total within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the
Vested Options, as determined on the Termination Date, may be exercised by the
Optionee or the Optionee's legal representative, but only within six (6) months
after the Termination Date; and provided further that Options may not be
exercised in any event later than the Expiration Date.

<PAGE>
6. Director Formula Option Grants. In addition to discretionary grants of
Options granted pursuant to other terms of this Plan, Non-Employee Directors
of the Company shall receive Options in accordance with the following terms:
(a) Formula Grant. Upon initial election or appointment to the Company's
Board of Directors, provided that such election or appointment is not during
the Company's last quarter of a year, the elected or appointed Non-Employee
Director shall receive a NQSO for 5,000 shares on the first business day
following the election or appointment of such Non-Employee Director.
Thereafter, annually on January 1, each Non-Employee Director shall receive a
NQSO for 5,000 shares.
(b) Terms of Grant. Options granted pursuant to this Section 6 shall be
subject to the following terms:
(i) Exercise Price and Payment Terms. The exercise price for the Options
granted pursuant to this Section 6 shall be equal to one hundred per cent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of the grant,
(excepting Ten Percent Shareholders in respect of whom the exercise price
for the Options granted pursuant to this Section 6 shall be equal to one
hundred ten percent (110%)) payable in cash or otherwise in accordance with
the alternatives specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of
Section 7(b) of this Plan.
(ii) Term. The term of the Options shall be ten (10) years from the date
the Option is granted (excepting Ten Percent Shareholders in respect of
whom the term of the Options shall be five (5) years).
(iii) Vesting and Repurchase Period. All Options granted pursuant to the
terms of this Section 6 shall be exercisable at anytime on or after the
date of grant pursuant to the terms of the form of Grant set forth as
Exhibit A-1 hereto. The Company shall have the right to repurchase any
unvested Shares at the exercise price paid for such Shares pursuant to the
terms of the form of Grant set forth as Exhibit A-1 hereto. With respect to
Shares issued pursuant to Options granted on the date of adoption of the
Plan, the Company's repurchase rights as to unvested Shares shall lapse on
the earlier of (i) June 30, 1999 or (ii) the consummation of the Company's
initial public offering of common stock. With respect to Shares issued
pursuant to all other Options granted pursuant to the terms of this Section
6, the Company's repurchase rights as to unvested Shares shall lapse nine
(9) months after the date of the grant.
(iv) Other Terms. In order to be eligible for the annual automatic
option grants, the Non-Employee Director shall be on the date of grant, and
shall have maintained for the prior year, continuous status as an active
member of the Board of Directors for the entire year or from the date the
Non-Employee Director joined the Board of Directors. If, for any reason, a
Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board, such director
shall be ineligible for that year's grant.
7. Exercise of Options.
(a) Notices. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a
written exercise agreement in a form approved by the Committee (which need not
be the same for each Optionee), stating the number of Shares being purchased,
the restrictions imposed on the Shares, if any, and such representations and
agreements regarding the Optionee's investment intent and access to
information, if any, as may be required by the Company to comply with
applicable securities laws, together with payment in full of the exercise
price for the number of Shares being purchased.
(b) Payment. Payment for the Shares may be made in cash (by check) or,
where permitted by law any of the following methods approved by the Committee,
or any combination thereof, provided that the portion of the consideration
equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal
consideration permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law: (i) by
cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Optionee; (ii) by surrender
of shares of Common Stock of the Company already owned by the Optionee, having
a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price of the Option (but only to the
extent that such exercise would not result in an accounting compensation
charge with respect to the Shares used to pay the exercise price unless
otherwise determined by the Committee); (iii) by waiver of compensation due or
accrued to Optionee for
4
<PAGE>
services rendered; (iv) through delivery of a promissory note for the full
exercise price bearing interest at such rate with the note due at such time, on
a secured or unsecured basis, as determined by the Committee; (v) provided that
a public market for the Company's stock exists, through a "same day sale"
commitment from the Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (an "NASD Dealer") whereby the
Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the
Shares so purchased to pay for the exercise price and whereby the NASD Dealer
irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the exercise price
directly to the Company; and/or (vi) provided that a public market for the
Company's stock exists, through a "margin" commitment from the Optionee and an
NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and
to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as
security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the exercise price,
and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to
forward the exercise price directly to the Company.
(c) Withholding Taxes. Prior to issuance of the Shares upon exercise of an
Option, the Optionee shall pay or make adequate provision for any federal or
state withholding obligations of the Company, if applicable. Where approved by
the Committee in its sole discretion, the Optionee may provide for payment of
withholding taxes upon exercise of the Option by requesting that the Company
retain Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of taxes
required to be withheld. In such case, the Company shall issue the net number
of Shares to the Optionee by deducting the Shares retained from the Shares
exercised. 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 in accordance with Section 83 of the Code (the "Tax Date"). All
elections by Optionees to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made
in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee and shall be subject to the
following restrictions:
(i) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date;
(ii) once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to the particular
Shares as to which the election is made;
(iii) all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of
the Committee; and
(iv) if the Optionee is an officer or director of the Company or other
person (in each case, an "Insider") whose transactions in the Company's
Common Stock are subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and if the Company is subject to
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the election must comply with Rule 16b-3
as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Rule 16b-3").
(d) Limitations on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
in the Plan or any Grant, no Option may be exercisable later than the
expiration date of the Option.
8. Restrictions on Shares. At the discretion of the Committee, the Company
may reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Grant (a) a right of first
refusal to purchase all Shares that an Optionee (or a subsequent transferee)
may propose to transfer to a third party, and/or (b) a right to repurchase a
portion of or all Shares held by an Optionee upon the Optionee's termination of
employment or service with the Company or its Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate
of the Company for any reason within a specified time (but not to exceed ninety
(90) days of the later of termination or exercise of the Option, if required by
Applicable Laws), as determined by the Committee at the time of grant at the
higher of (i) the Optionee's original purchase price or, (ii) the Fair Market
Value of such Shares. Shares may be repurchased at Optionee's original purchase
price provided that, so long as required by Applicable Laws, such right to
repurchase as to employees lapses at the rate of at least twenty percent (20%)
of the Shares subject to the Option per year over five (5) years from the date
the Option is granted (without respect to the date the Option was exercised or
became exercisable).
9. Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. The Committee shall have
the power to modify, extend or renew outstanding Options and to authorize the
grant of new Options in substitution therefor, provided that any such action
may not, without the written consent of the Optionee, impair any rights under

any Option previously granted. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended,
renewed or otherwise altered shall be treated in accordance with Section 424(h)
of the Code. The Committee shall have the power to reduce the exercise price of
outstanding options; provided, however, that the exercise price per share may
not be reduced below the minimum exercise price that would be permitted under
Section 5(c) of this Plan for options granted on the date the action is taken
to reduce the exercise price.
10. Privileges of Stock Ownership. No Optionee shall have any of the rights
of a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to an Option until such
Option is properly exercised. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date,
except as provided in this Plan. The Company shall provide to each Optionee,
regardless of the reports provided to shareholders in general, a copy of the
annual financial statements of the Company within a reasonable time frame
following the end of the fiscal year of the Company.
11. No Obligation to Employ; No Right to Future Grants. Nothing in this Plan
or any Option granted under this Plan shall confer on any Optionee any right
(a) to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company or
any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company or limit in any way the right of the
Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company to terminate the
Optionee's employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause,
or (b) to have any Option(s) granted to such Optionee under this Plan, or any
other plan, or to acquire any other securities of the Company, in the future.
12. Adjustment of Option Shares. In the event that the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company is changed by a stock dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split, combination, reclassification or similar change in
the capital structure of the Company without consideration, or if a substantial
portion of the assets of the Company are distributed, without consideration in
a spin-off or similar transaction, to the shareholders of the Company, the
number of Shares available under this Plan, the maximum number of Shares with
respect to which Options may be granted to any Optionee and the number of
Shares subject to outstanding Options and the exercise price per share of such
Options shall be proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by
the Board or shareholders of the Company and compliance with applicable
securities laws; provided, however, that a fractional share shall not be issued
upon exercise of any Option and any fractions of a Share that would have
resulted shall either be cashed out at Fair Market Value or the number of
Shares issuable under the Option shall be rounded down to the nearest whole
number, as determined by the Committee; and provided further that the exercise
price may not be decreased to below the par value, if any, for the Shares.
13. Assumption of Options by Successors.
(a) In the event of (i) a merger or consolidation as a result of which the
holders of voting securities of the Company prior to the transaction hold
shares representing less than 51% of the voting securities of the Company after
giving effect to the transaction (other than a merger or consolidation with a
wholly-owned subsidiary or where there is no substantial change in the
shareholders of the corporation and the Options granted under this Plan are
assumed by the successor corporation), or (ii) the sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, any or all outstanding Options shall be
assumed by the successor corporation, which assumption shall be binding on all
Optionees, an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor
corporation or the successor corporation shall provide substantially similar
consideration to Optionees as was provided to shareholders (after taking into
account the existing provisions of the Optionees' options such as the exercise
price and the vesting schedule), and, in the case of outstanding shares subject
to a repurchase option, issue substantially similar shares or other property
subject to repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the Optionee.
(b) In the event such successor corporation, if any, refuses to assume or
substitute, as provided above, pursuant to an event described in subsection (a)
above, or in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the
Options shall, notwithstanding any contrary terms in the Grant, expire on a
date specified in a written notice given by the Committee to the Optionees
specifying the terms and conditions of such termination (which date shall be at
least twenty (20) days after the date the Committee gives the written notice).

14. Adoption and Shareholder Approval. The Plan became effective when
adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") in January 1999. In April,
2000, the Board adopted and approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan
(a) to increase the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan and
(b) to adopt a limit on the maximum number of Shares with respect to which
Options may be granted to any Optionee in any fiscal year of the Company and
certain other administrative provisions to comply with the performance-based
compensation exception to the deduction limit of Section 162(m) of the Code,
which amendments are subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company.
15. Administration.
(a) This Plan may be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by
the Board (the "Committee"). At all times during which the Company is
registered under the Exchange Act, with respect to grants of awards to
directors or employees who are also officers or directors of the Company, the
Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board, or (B) a Committee designated by
the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy
the Applicable Laws and to permit such grants and related transactions under
the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in accordance
with Rule 16b-3. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its
designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. As used in this
Plan, references to the "Committee" shall mean either such Committee or the
Board if no committee has been established. The interpretation by the
Committee of any of the provisions of this Plan, any related agreements, or
any Option granted under this Plan shall be final and binding upon the Company
and all persons having an interest in any Option or any Shares purchased
pursuant to an Option.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of an Option to any Covered
Employee intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made
only by a Committee (or subcommittee of a Committee) which is comprised solely
of two or more members of Board of Directors eligible to serve on a committee
granting Options qualifying as Performance-Based Compensation. In the case of
such Options granted to Covered Employees, references to a "Committee" shall
be deemed to be references to such Committee or subcommittee.
16. Term of Plan. Options may be granted pursuant to this Plan from time to
time on or prior to December 31, 2008, a date which is less than ten years
after the earlier of the date of approval of this Plan by the Board or the
shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 14 of this Plan.
17. Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board or Committee may, at any
time, amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration, suspension or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the
rights of any Optionee under any Option theretofore granted, without his or
her consent. To the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, the
Company shall obtain approval of the stockholders of the Company of any plan
amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Board or Committee may at any time or from time to time
authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective Optionees, to issue
new Options in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all
outstanding Options.
18. Certain Definitions. As used in this Plan, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
(a) "Affiliate" means any corporation that directly, or indirectly through
one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common
control with, another corporation, where "control" (including the terms
"controlled by" and "under common control with") means the possession, direct
or indirect, of the power to cause the direction of the management and
policies of the corporation, whether through the ownership of voting
securities, by contract or otherwise.
(b) "Applicable Laws" means the legal requirements relating to the
administration of stock incentive plans, if any, under applicable provisions
of federal and state securities laws, the corporate laws of California and, to
the extent other than California, the corporate law of the state of the
Company's incorporation, the
7

Code, the rules of any applicable stock exchange or national market system, and
the rules of any foreign jurisdiction applicable to awards granted to residents
therein.
(c) "Covered Employee" means an Optionee who is a "covered employee" under
Section 162(m)(3) of the Code.
(d) "Fair Market Value" shall mean the fair market value of the Shares as
determined by the Committee from time to time in good faith, and if required by
Applicable Laws, in a manner consistent with Section 260.140.50 of Title 10 of
the California Code of Regulations. If a public market exists for the Shares,
the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the last reported bid and asked
prices for Common Stock of the Company on the last trading day prior to the
date of determination or, in the event the Common Stock of the Company is
listed on a stock exchange or is a Nasdaq National Market security, the Fair
Market Value shall be the closing price on such exchange or quotation system on
the last trading day prior to the date of determination.
(e) "Non-Employee Directors" shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 16b-
3(b)(3) as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act, as such rule is amended from time to time and as
interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(f) "Immediate Family" means an individual who is a member of the Optionee's
"immediate family" as that term is defined under Rule 16a-1(e) of the Exchange
Act.
(g) "Parent" means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken
chain of corporations ending with the Company if, at the time of the granting
of the Option, each of the corporations other than the Company owns stock
possessing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.
(h) "Performance-Based Compensation" means compensation qualifying as
"performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code.
(i) "Subsidiary" means any corporation (other than the Company) in an
unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company if, at the time of
the granting of the Option, each of the corporations other than the last
corporation in the unbroken chain owns stock possessing fifty percent (50%) or
more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the
other corporations in such chain.
19. Information to Optionees. The Company shall provide to each Optionee,
during the period for which such Optionee has one or more options outstanding,
copies of financial statements at least annually.
20. Applicable Law and Regulations. The obligations of the Company under
this Plan are subject to the approval of state and federal authorities or
agencies with jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof. The Company shall
not be obligated to issue or deliver shares under this Plan if such issuance or
delivery would violate applicable state or federal securities laws.
