USE OF PROCEEDS

        Except as provided in this prospectus, the selling stockholders will receive the proceeds from the sale of securities offered by this prospectus. In order to satisfy federal and state tax withholding obligations of certain selling stockholders, we may receive the proceeds from the sale by those selling stockholders of a portion of the securities offered by this prospectus. The proceeds of such sales will be used by us to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations of such selling stockholders. See "Plan of Distribution" below.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

        This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the holders of up to 3,073,232 shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock. With respect to the 3,073,232 shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock, 2,103,731 were issued at the closing on the date hereof of our acquisition of BuySeasons, Inc. (and includes shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock held in an escrow account to secure indemnification obligations in our favor) pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger between us, BuySeasons, Pumpkin Merger Sub, Inc. and Jeffrey B. Rusinow as Securityholders' Representative, dated as of July 20, 2006, which we refer to as the "Merger Agreement." On the date hereof, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Pumpkin Merger Sub merged (the "Merger") with and into BuySeasons, BuySeasons became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of our company and the selling stockholders named in the table below, who are former stockholders, option holders and/or warrant holders of BuySeasons, received in the Merger shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock offered hereby as consideration for their holdings in BuySeasons. As described below, the remaining 969,501 shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock to which this prospectus relates may be issued to such former securityholders of BuySeasons pursuant to the Merger Agreement upon the achievement of certain performance milestones by BuySeasons for the year ending December 31, 2006.

        The Merger Agreement requires us to make an earnout payment to the selling stockholders if the earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (or EBITDA) of BuySeasons (as adjusted pursuant to the Merger Agreement) is above a specified amount. The earnout payment is to be made in shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock that will be valued based on the volume-weighted average closing price of a share of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock for the five-day period ending the third day prior to the closing of the Merger, which was $18.17. If the maximum earnout payment is made, the number of shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock issuable in respect of such earnout payment will be 990,668 shares. Each selling stockholder is entitled to receive a pro rata share of the earnout payment, if any. The shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock representing the earnout payment are not listed in the selling stockholder table below. Shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock that may be issued pursuant to the earnout payment, if any, will be listed in a prospectus supplement when and if such shares are issued by us to the selling stockholders. With respect to such 990,668 shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock, 21,167 will be issued, if at all, to Jalem M. Getz, President and Chief Executive Officer of BuySeasons, subject to a Restricted Stock Award Agreement, pursuant to which such shares will be subject to forfeiture based on certain employment related conditions. Such shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock, if issued, will not be listed in a prospectus supplement and are not offered pursuant to this prospectus.

3

        The shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus were, or will be, issued to the selling stockholders in transactions that were, or will be, exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

        Each of the selling stockholders has, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, entered into a joinder agreement with us, pursuant to which, among other things, each selling stockholder agreed to become a party to, and adopt, the Merger Agreement and agreed to be bound by certain registration rights provisions of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and such registration rights provisions, we agreed to file the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part covering the resale of the shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock offered hereby.

        The selling stockholders listed in the table below may offer and sell, pursuant to this prospectus, any or all of such shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock owned by them and offered hereby in accordance with one or more of the methods of distribution described under the caption "Plan of Distribution."

        The following table sets forth information with respect to each selling stockholder, the number of shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock owned by such selling stockholder and the number of shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock owned by such selling stockholder that may be sold pursuant to this prospectus. Because each selling stockholder may sell all or some of such stockholder's shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock from time to time under this prospectus, no estimate can be given at this time as to the number of shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock that will be held by a particular selling stockholder following any particular sale of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock by such selling stockholder. Changes in the information concerning the selling stockholders will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus when and if necessary. As of July 31, 2006, there were 642,915,105 shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock outstanding.

The above table includes shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock held in an escrow account to secure indemnification obligations in favor of our company pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Such shares may not be sold until released in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement governing the escrow account.

(2)

The selling stockholder is an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.

(3)

This individual is a current employee of BuySeasons, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ours.

(4)

43,978 of the shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock issued to Mr. Getz in the Merger are subject to a Restricted Stock Award Agreement, pursuant to which such shares will be subject to forfeiture based on certain employment related conditions. One-third of such restricted shares vest and shall no longer be subject to forfeiture on each of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009. These shares are not offered pursuant to this prospectus.

        We prepared the above table based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholders named in the table. Unless otherwise disclosed in the footnotes to the table, no selling stockholder has indicated that it has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during the past three years. Other than as disclosed in the footnotes to the table above, no selling stockholder has indicated that such selling stockholder is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.

        To the extent that any of the selling stockholders identified above are broker-dealers, they are deemed to be, under interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        With respect to selling stockholders that are affiliates of broker-dealers, such selling stockholders have informed us that, as of the date of this prospectus, they have no agreements or understandings with any broker, dealer or selling agent with respect to the shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock offered hereby.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        The selling stockholders, including their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest who may later hold interests in the securities covered by this prospectus and who are otherwise entitled to resell the securities using this prospectus, may sell the securities covered by this prospectus from time to time in any legal manner selected by the selling stockholders, including directly to purchasers or through broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of fees or commissions from the selling stockholders or the purchasers. These fees or commissions as to any particular broker-dealer or agent may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved. Except with respect to sales to satisfy withholding obligations, the selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of the securities covered by this prospectus.

6

        The selling stockholders have advised us that the securities may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale and/or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in one or more transactions, including:

•

on the Nasdaq Global Select Market;



•

in the over-the-counter market;



•

in transactions otherwise than on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or in the over-the-counter market; or



•

any combination of the foregoing.

        In order to satisfy certain federal and state withholding tax obligations arising as a result of the issuance of certain of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus, certain of the selling stockholders may elect to sell through a broker-dealer approved by us a sufficient number of securities offered by this prospectus to satisfy their withholding tax obligations, and to deliver to us the proceeds from such sale. We will use such proceeds to satisfy the applicable withholding obligations. All commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transactions costs, if any, including the expenses and compensation of the broker-dealer, incurred in connection with such sale of securities will be paid by such selling stockholders. Smith Barney has agreed to serve as the broker-dealer to effect these transactions and each selling stockholder who elects to satisfy its withholding obligations through this mechanism will give Smith Barney irrevocable transfer instructions to sell a sufficient number of securities issued to such selling stockholder in the Merger to satisfy such selling stockholder's withholding tax obligations and to deliver to us the proceeds from such sale.

        The Securityholders' Representative under the Merger Agreement has made arrangements with Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated pursuant to which any selling stockholder, at his or her election, may sell his or her shares of Liberty Interactive Series A common stock offered hereby through Robert W. Baird & Co., acting as a broker for the selling stockholder. A selling stockholder who sells through this arrangement will pay Robert W. Baird & Co. a commission equal to $0.05 per share sold on such selling stockholder's behalf (subject to a $30.00 minimum payment).

        Except as otherwise provided herein, the selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, arrangements or understandings with any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus. The selling stockholders may sell any or all of the securities offered by them pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer, devise or gift the securities by other means not described in this prospectus.

        Any broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. As a result, any profits on the sale of the securities by the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

        There can be no assurance that the selling stockholders will sell any or all of their securities pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Section 4(1) of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 or Section 4(1) rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

        The aggregate proceeds to a selling stockholder from the sale of his or her securities offered hereby will be the purchase price of such securities less fees or commissions, if any. If a selling stockholder's securities are sold through a broker or agent, such selling stockholder will be responsible for any broker or agent fees or commissions. Except as otherwise provided herein, we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus.

7

        To the extent required, the securities to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent or dealer, and any applicable fees or commissions with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or incorporated by reference by the filing of a current report on Form 8-K.

        We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders and their respective directors, officers and controlling persons, if any, against certain liabilities, including specified liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments which any selling stockholder may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. Each selling stockholder has agreed to indemnify us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act with respect to written information furnished to us by it or to contribute with respect to payments in connection with such liabilities.

        We have agreed to pay all of the costs, fees and expenses incident to our registration of the resale of the selling stockholders' securities, excluding any legal fees of the selling stockholders, and fees or commissions of broker-dealers and agents.

        Pursuant to the registration rights provisions we agreed to with the selling stockholders, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part continuously effective, subject to customary suspension periods, as to a particular security covered thereby until no later than the first anniversary of the issuance of such security by us.

        Our obligation to keep the registration statement to which this prospectus relates effective is subject to specified exceptions. In these cases, we may suspend offers and sales of the securities pursuant to the registration statement to which this prospectus relates.

LEGAL MATTERS

        Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the securities that may be sold pursuant to this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Baker Botts L.L.P., New York, New York.

Item 15. Indemnification Of Directors And Officers.

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides, generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (except actions by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may similarly indemnify such person for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

        Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides, generally, that the certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under section 174 of Title 8 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision became effective.

        Article V, Section E of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Liberty Charter"), of Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Liberty"), provides as follows:

        1.     Limitation On Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of Liberty shall not be liable to Liberty or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph 1 shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation, right or protection of a director of Liberty existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

II-1

        2.     Indemnification.

        (a)   Right to Indemnification. Liberty shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding") by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of Liberty or while a director or officer of Liberty or is or was serving at the request of Liberty as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such person. Such right of indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based upon matters which antedate the adoption of Section E of the Liberty Charter. Liberty shall be required to indemnify or make advances to a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of Liberty.

        (b)   Prepayment of Expenses. Liberty shall pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this paragraph or otherwise.

        (c)   Claims. If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this paragraph is not paid in full within 60 days after a written claim therefor has been received by Liberty, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action, Liberty shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

        (d)   Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this paragraph shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Liberty Charter, the bylaws of Liberty, agreement, vote of stockholders or resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise.

        (e)   Other Indemnification. Liberty's obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity.

        3.     Amendment or Repeal. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing provisions of Section E of the Liberty Charter shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

Item 17. Undertakings.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Liberty pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Liberty has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Liberty of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Liberty in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Liberty will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        Liberty hereby undertakes:

        (1)   to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

        (i)    to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

        (ii)   to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in

II-3

the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

        (iii)  to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

        (2)   that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

        (3)   to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

        (4)   that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

        (5)   that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to the offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B of the Securities Act or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A of the Securities Act, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

Recitals

        A.    This Agreement provides for Parent to acquire, by merger of Merger Sub with and into Company, all of the Securities of Company (other than the Specified Company Options which shall be converted pursuant to the terms hereof into stock appreciation rights in the Surviving Corporation), so that Company shall become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (subject to the terms of such stock appreciation rights).

        B.    The acquisition shall be structured as follows: (i) Parent has formed Merger Sub as a new wholly owned first tier subsidiary of Liberty Media LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Liberty LLC") which in turn is a wholly owned first tier subsidiary of Parent; (ii) on the Closing Date, Merger Sub shall merge with and into Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, Company shall be the surviving corporation in the merger and each share of common stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into one share of stock of the surviving corporation; and (iii) as of the time of such merger, all of the Securities of Company (other than the Specified Company Options which shall be converted pursuant to the terms hereof into stock appreciation rights in the Surviving Corporation) prior to the merger shall be converted into the right to receive from Parent one or more payments of LINTA (as defined below), at the times and in the amounts set forth in this Agreement.

        C.    Liberty LLC is, and at all times from the date of this Agreement through and including the Closing Date will be, a wholly-owned first tier subsidiary of Parent and during such time is and will be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii)) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including Section 368 of the Code).

        D.    This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been approved by the Board of Directors of each of Parent, Merger Sub and Company. The Board of Directors of Merger Sub has resolved to recommend the approval of this Agreement and such transactions to its sole stockholder, and the Board of Directors of Company has resolved to recommend the approval of this Agreement and such transactions to all of its Stockholders.

        E.    For U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and that this Agreement shall be and hereby is adopted as a plan of reorganization for purposes of Section 368 of the Code.

Agreement; and (iii) to execute and deliver any and all such other documents, instruments and papers as may be necessary in connection with the foregoing, and to otherwise do any and all such other acts and things as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith. This power of attorney shall continue in force with respect to each Holder until the transfer or release of all of the Escrowed Shares issued in the name of such Holder. In the event that any Holder revokes the power of attorney granted to the Escrow Agent hereunder, then such Holder shall automatically be deemed to have appointed Parent as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with all of the powers and authority set forth in this Section 3.3(d). Any power of attorney granted to Parent hereunder shall not be revocable by any Holder and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

3.4Deferred Merger Payment.

        (a)   On a date, specified in Parent's sole discretion, which is within five (5) Business Days after the finalization of the calculation of Adjusted Company EBITDA pursuant to Section 3.4(b) below or at the time specified in Section 3.4(d) below (as applicable, the "Deferred Payment Date"), each Stockholder and Closing Holder shall be entitled to be issued a number of shares (rounded as set forth in Section 3.7) of LINTA equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such Stockholder as of the moment immediately prior to the Effective Time or, in the case of a Closing Holder, the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the Unexercised Company Options and/or Unexercised Company Warrants held by such Person at the moment immediately prior to the Effective Time assuming such Person exercised such instrument and paid the full exercise price multiplied by (B) the Deferred Payment Exchange Ratio (the number of shares of LINTA to be received by such Person, the "Deferred Merger Payment"). The rights of the Stockholders and Closing Holders to receive the Deferred Merger Payment shall arise automatically on the Closing Date without further act by Parent, Company, or Merger Sub. No such payment shall be made to any Stockholder or Closing Holder until such Person has submitted its letter of transmittal in accordance with Section 3.6. The Company shall promptly pay Pacific Crest Securities, Inc. the PC Deferred Amount when and as due under the PC Engagement Agreement.

        (b)    Calculation of Adjusted Company EBITDA.

          (i)  Parent shall cause Grant Thornton LLP, the outside auditor of the Company, to prepare the Company 2006 Financials. As promptly as practicable but within thirty (30) Business Days following the completion of the Company 2006 Financials by Grant Thornton LLP, Parent shall calculate the Adjusted Company EBITDA and deliver a reasonable detail of such calculation to the Securityholders' Representative. Securityholders' Representative shall review such calculation at his own expense. The Adjusted Company EBITDA calculation shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto for all purposes, unless the Securityholders' Representative objects to Parent's calculation within thirty (30) Business Days following Parent's delivery of such calculation, in which event the provisions of Section 3.4(b)(ii) below shall apply. Any such objection shall be limited to the conformance of such calculation to the definition of Adjusted Company EBITDA and shall specify all items as to which there is disagreement, and an explanation of the basis for any disagreement. During the 30-Business Day review period, Securityholders' Representative shall have full access to the Company's and Surviving Corporation's books and records relating to the Adjusted Company EBITDA calculation during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, and to the employees, representatives and agents of Parent and Surviving Corporation who prepared, or assisted in the preparation of, such calculation. Securityholders' Representative's failure to timely notify Parent in writing of the existence of such a disagreement shall be deemed, for all

16

purposes, Securityholders' Representative's acceptance of Parent's Adjusted Company EBITDA calculation.

         (ii)  If the Securityholders' Representative timely delivers an objection to Parent as provided in Section 3.4(b)(i) above, of a disagreement with Parent's Adjusted Company EBITDA calculation (the "Disagreement"), Parent and the Securityholders' Representative shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Disagreement. If Parent and the Securityholders' Representative are unable to resolve the Disagreement within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt by Parent of notice from Securityholders' Representative of the Disagreement, either Parent or the Securityholders' Representative may elect that such Disagreement be resolved by a major international accounting firm jointly selected by the Securityholders' Representative and Parent that has not provided material services to Parent or the Company, Jalem Getz or Jeff Rusinow within the past three (3) years before its retention for this matter (the "Accountants"). Each of Parent and the Securityholders' Representative shall submit to the Accountants its proposal concerning what the Adjusted Company EBITDA calculation should be, and Parent and the Securityholders' Representative shall submit to the Accountants all relevant financial data, and the Disagreement shall be submitted for final and binding arbitration and resolution by the Accountants. In resolving the Disagreement, the Accountants shall only consider those items or amounts in the Adjusted Company EBITDA calculation as to which the Securityholders' Representative has disagreed. After completing their review of the Disagreement, the Accountants shall resolve each item in dispute and confirm their conclusion (and the resulting amount of the Adjusted Company EBITDA calculation) in writing to Parent and the Securityholders' Representative, and the decision of the Accountants regarding such adjustment shall be final and binding upon Parent and the Securityholders for all purposes and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, absent manifest error. Each of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and the Securityholders, on the other hand, agree to pay 50% of all fees and other amounts owing to the Accountants in connection with such arbitration.

        (c)    Non-Transferability of Right to Deferred Merger Payments.    The rights of the Stockholders and Closing Holders to receive the Deferred Merger Payment cannot be sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise transferred except by will or pursuant to an involuntary transfer and the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void and Parent shall not be bound to recognize any rights in the purported transferee. In the event that Parent in good faith is uncertain after consulting with outside legal counsel as to the legal rights of any purported transferee or any other person claiming the right to receive Deferred Merger Payments, it may withhold the Deferred Merger Payments in question until it is presented with a court order establishing the rights of the Parties and then pay the amount withheld, without interest, to the person entitled thereto in accordance with that order.

        (d)    Change of Control Transaction.    If a Change of Control Transaction with respect to the Company occurs after the Closing Date but on or prior to the Deferred Payment Date, then the resulting Deferred Merger Payment shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after the closing of any such Change of Control Transaction. Following the payment under this Section 3.4(d), the Securityholders shall have no rights to receive any further Deferred Merger Payment.

        (e)    Set Off.    Neither the Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to offset any Losses for which any of them is entitled to be indemnified under Section 10.2 against any Deferred Merger Payment due hereunder, except to the extent such claim for indemnification involves the commission of fraud by Holders or the Company.

17

        (f)    Application of 409A.    If any portion of the Deferred Merger Payment is considered deferred compensation subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A, and if the special rule under Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(g)(5)(iv) does not apply, then:

          (i)  Payment of the Deferred Merger Payment shall be made as provided in subsection (a) no later than December 31, 2007, unless the amount of the Deferred Merger Payment is in dispute as provided in subsection (b). In such event, the Parent shall issue, and each Stockholder and Closing Holder shall accept, the portion (if any) of the Deferred Merger Payment that is not in dispute, and any remaining Deferred Merger Payment that is due shall be made as soon as practicable after (but in any event during the first calendar year in which) the Parent and the Stockholders and Closing Holders enter into a legally binding settlement of such dispute, the Parent concedes that the amount is payable, or the Parent is required to make such payment pursuant to a final and nonappealable judgment or other binding decision.

         (ii)  If a Change of Control Transaction occurs during 2006, payment of the Deferred Merger Payment may be made as provided in subsection (d) only if the Change of Control Transaction qualifies a change of control within the meaning of the regulations under Code Section 409A, and if it does not, payment of the Deferred Merger Payment shall be made on January 1, 2007.

3.5Stock Certificates.    Each certificate representing shares of LINTA constituting the Merger Consideration (unless previously registered under applicable Securities Laws) shall bear the following legend (and the shares of LINTA issued in exchange for the Specified Getz Options will bear any additional legends required by the Restricted Stock Agreement):

"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, EXCHANGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF (A) IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A U.S. PERSON UNLESS PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES UNLESS PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT, OR (C) UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, EXCHANGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT. AS USED HEREIN, "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" HAVE THE RESPECTIVE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE ACT."

3.6Procedures for Exchange.

        (a)    Letters of Transmittal.    Immediately after the Effective Time, Parent shall mail (or caused to be mailed) to each holder of Securities (other that the Specified Company Options) as of the moment immediately prior to the Effective time a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the certificates of the Securities or, if such Securities are options or warrants and are not certificated, the applicable option or warrant agreement, in exchange for certificates representing shares of LINTA constituting the Closing Payment. Parent shall issue (or cause to be issued) shares of LINTA constituting the Closing Payment to Securityholders who tender certificates representing Securities (other than the Specified Company Options) and appropriately completed letters of transmittal, promptly (but

18

in all events, in two Business Days or less) following receipt thereof. As reasonably necessary to assist each Securityholder with tax planning, each Securityholder shall have the right to designate to Parent the number of LINTA certificates to be issued to such Securityholder and the number of shares to which such Securityholder is entitled that shall be represented by each such certificate.

        (b)    Lost Securities.    If any certificates or other documents evidencing Securities of Company shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates or documents, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Securityholder and the delivery of an indemnity in favor of the Parent (and posting of a lost instrument bond, if reasonably required by the Parent), such shares of LINTA as required pursuant to this Agreement.

3.7Fractional Shares.    No fractional shares of LINTA shall be issued to any Securityholder in connection with the payment of any component of the Merger Consideration. To the extent that the issuance of shares of LINTA in connection with the payment of any component of the Merger Consideration to a Securityholder, following the aggregation of all fractional share interests that would otherwise be issued to Securityholder in respect of all Securities held by such Securityholder in the Company, would otherwise result in the issuance of a fraction of a share, fractions less than .5 shall be rounded down, and fractions equal to or greater than .5 shall be rounded up, to the nearest whole share.

3.8Withholding Rights.    No shares of LINTA shall be issued to any Securityholder with respect to any compensatory Unexercised Company Securities held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time in connection with any component of the Merger Consideration until arrangements have been made with Parent to satisfy all applicable withholding Taxes required by federal, state, local or foreign law to be paid in connection with the payment of such component of Merger Consideration to such holder. A Securityholder may satisfy the applicable withholding Tax obligations by paying the amount of any such withholding Taxes in cash or check (subject to collection) to Parent. Alternatively, Securityholder may satisfy such withholding Tax obligations by delivery, together with such other documentation as Parent in its sole reasonable discretion shall require, of irrevocable instructions by Securityholder to a broker-dealer (approved by Parent), acting as agent for such Securityholder, (i) to sell a sufficient number of shares of LINTA issued to Securityholder pursuant to the Merger (other than Escrowed Shares) in open market transactions, and (ii) to deliver to Parent the amount of proceeds from such sale necessary to satisfy the applicable withholding Tax obligations of such Securityholder; provided, however, that (a) the delivery by Parent to the approved broker of shares of LINTA to be sold pursuant to the Securityholder's instructions, (b) the broker's delivery to Parent of an amount of proceeds from such sale sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding Tax obligations of such Securityholder, and (c) the broker's delivery of the net proceeds of the sale to the Securityholder, take place no later than three (3) Business Days following the later of (x) the determination of the applicable withholding Tax obligations of such Securityholder (as set forth below) and (y) the date the applicable instructions and other documentation (as determined by Parent above) are delivered. All commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, if any, including the expenses and compensation, if any, of the broker, incurred in connection with such sale of shares of LINTA in accordance with this provision, shall be deducted from the proceeds otherwise distributable to the Securityholder or otherwise paid by the Securityholder. The amount of the applicable withholding Taxes shall be determined by the Surviving Corporation no later than one (1) Business Day following the Closing Date or the Deferred Payment Date (as applicable), and such determination shall be subject to the review and approval of Parent. The mean of the high and low trading prices of LINTA shares on the Closing Date or the Deferred Payment Date (as applicable) as reported by the principal U.S. stock exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which such stock trades shall be used for purposes of computing and reporting taxable income. No shares of LINTA issued to any Securityholder with respect

19

to any compensatory Unexercised Company Securities held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time in connection with any component of the Merger Consideration shall be reported as compensation subject to the additional tax pursuant to Code Section 409A, except as required by applicable Law.

44

be available to any party that has breached in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have proximately contributed to the occurrence of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on or before the Termination Date. "Termination Date" shall mean September 30, 2006 if a filing under the HSR Act is made pursuant to Section 7.8(a), or August 31, 2006 otherwise.

9.3Termination by Company.    This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, by the Company if there has been a material breach by Parent of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that, together with all such breaches, would prevent any of the conditions set forth in Article 8 from being satisfied (other than by waiver) prior to the Termination Date and that is not curable or, if curable, is not cured within twenty (20) days after written notice of such breach is given by the Company to Parent.

9.4Termination by Parent.    This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time by Parent if there has been a material breach by the Holders or the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that, together with all such breaches, would prevent any of the conditions set forth in Article 8 from being satisfied (other than by waiver) prior to the Termination Date and that is not curable or, if curable, is not cured within twenty (20) days after written notice of such breach is given by Parent to Company and the Securityholders' Representative.

45

        (b)   From and after the Closing Date, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, Parent hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, the Holders from, against and in respect of any and all Losses that are arising from, or otherwise related to, directly or indirectly, any of the following:

          (i)  Any breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent and Merger Sub in this Agreement (as each such representation or warranty would be read if all qualifications as to materiality or words of similar import were deleted therefrom); and

         (ii)  Any breach or default in performance by Parent or Merger Sub of any covenant or other agreement in this Agreement.

        (c)   All indemnification claims paid by Parent under clause (b) above shall be made in LINTA valued at its Fair Market Value.

10.2Indemnification by Holders and the Company.

        (a)   Prior to the Closing Date, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and each of its officers, directors and employees (for the purposes of this Section 10.2(a), "Parent") from, against and in respect of any and all Losses that are arising from, or otherwise related to, directly or indirectly, any material breach or material default in performance by Holders or the Company of any covenant or other agreement in this Agreement.

        (b)   From and after the Closing Date, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, Holders hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Surviving Corporation and its officers, directors and employees and Parent (collectively, the "Parent Indemnitees") from, against and in respect of any and all Losses that are arising from, or otherwise related to, directly or indirectly, any of the following:

          (i)  Any breach of any representation or warranty made by Holders and the Company in Article 4 (as each such representation or warranty would be read if all qualifications as to materiality were deleted therefrom); and

         (ii)  Any breach or default in performance by Holders or, prior to Closing, Company, of any covenant or other agreement in this Agreement.

        (c)   From and after the Closing Date, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, Holders hereby agree to severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Parent Indemnitees from, against and in respect of any and all Losses that are arising from, or otherwise related to, directly or indirectly from any breach of any representation or warranty made by Holders in Article 5 (as each such representation or warranty would be read if all qualifications as to materiality were deleted therefrom).

10.3Survival of Indemnification.    The representations and warranties contained herein and the obligation to pay Losses, shall survive the Closing Date, as follows:

        (a)    Fraudulent Breach of Representations.    In the case of a claim based upon the inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty which was made fraudulently, indefinitely; and

        (b)    All Other Claims.    In the case of all other claims, for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on April 15, 2007. No claim for recovery of Losses may be asserted after the expiration of the applicable time period described in the foregoing sentence; provided, however, that any claim first asserted by the giving of a Notice of Claim within such survival period shall neither be abated nor barred.

46

10.4Limitations on Losses.

        (a)    Minimum and Maximum Amount.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the following provisions and to the limitations set forth in Section 3.4(e), the maximum amount of Losses payable by the Holders and the Company arising under Section 10.2 in no event shall exceed the amounts held in the Escrow. Moreover, the Parent Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover Losses for any matter unless and until the aggregate of all claims for Losses asserted exceeds $125,000 and in either case only to the extent of such excess.

        (b)    Insurance Proceeds; Claims Against Third Parties.    With respect to Losses for which a Parent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.2 and which Losses may be covered by insurance, the Parent Indemnitee shall be able to make a claim for indemnification (a) to the extent that the Parent Indemnitee has not received proceeds from Company's insurance in place before the Effective Time applicable to such claim, (b) in an amount equal to the Company's applicable deductible for such coverage or equivalent coverage in effect in the ordinary course of the Company's business prior to the Effective Time, (c) to the extent that the Losses otherwise exceed the applicable insurance coverage, and (d) to the extent that the Losses are otherwise excluded in whole or in part from any such applicable insurance coverage. If an Indemnifying Party paid an Indemnified Party for an indemnification claim under this Agreement and the Indemnified Party subsequently receives insurance proceeds in respect of such indemnification claim, the Indemnified Party shall remit promptly to the Indemnifying Party who paid such indemnification claim the lesser of the amount so paid by the Indemnifying Party or such insurance proceeds. Parent and Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain payments from available insurance (as set forth in (a) above) if such insurance will or would reasonably be expected to reduce Losses payable by the Indemnifying Party.

        (c)    Tax Provision.    In computing the amount of Losses, there shall be deducted therefrom an amount equal to the immediate actual income tax savings, if any, to which Parent (calculated on a consolidated basis for federal income tax purposes) or the Surviving Corporation or the Company become entitled from the income tax deduction, if any, to which any of them shall become entitled as a consequence of any loss, claim, damage, liability, cost, expense or deficiency giving rise to the Loss. The amount of such savings shall be net of any immediate actual income Tax owed by reason of the payment of indemnification for such Loss and shall be reasonably determined by Parent and included in the Notice of Claim delivered pursuant to Section 10.7 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, such savings shall not include any increase in any net operating loss or any other carryover of any tax benefit or credit, or any increase in the basis of any asset. The Tax Sharing Agreement shall not create a Loss and shall not effect the amount of Losses.

        (d)    Failure to Assign, Transfer or Obtain Consent.    The Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be entitled to Losses with respect to any Contract, license or permit which is nonassignable or nontransferable, or the failure of the Company or the Holders to obtain any consent or to fulfill any conditions imposed incident to the giving of any consent, if such nonassignability, nontransferability of need for consent or condition is disclosed on the Disclosure Schedule.

10.5Sole Remedy.    The sole remedies of the Company (as defined in Section 10.1) and the Parent Indemnitees prior to the Closing Date for any Losses or Liability resulting or arising in any manner pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether such claims arise out of contract, tort or violation of law, shall be a claim for Losses made pursuant to, and subject to the limitations of, this Article 10, a claim for specific performance made under Section 12.5 or an expense reimbursement claim under Section 9.6. The sole remedies of the Company (as defined in

47

Section 10.1) and the Parent Indemnitees on and following the Closing Date for any Losses or Liability resulting or arising in any manner pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether such claims arise out of contract, tort or violation of law, shall be a claim for Losses made pursuant to, and subject to the limitations of, this Article 10 or a claim for specific performance of any post-closing covenants made under Section 12.5.

10.6Escrow.    Amounts needed to cover any indemnification claims resolved in favor of a Parent Indemnitee against any Holder shall be paid first out of the Escrow, and the Escrow Agent shall pay out of the Escrow all claims that are resolved by agreement of Parent and the Securityholders' Representative or by final, non-appealable binding order of court or arbitrator. Payments made by delivery of LINTA shall be made based on the Fair Market Value of such shares as of the Closing Date and all such payments shall be made to Parent. Any such offset against the Escrow Fund shall be made against each Securityholder's share of the Escrow in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

10.7Procedures for Making Claims.    The Indemnified Party shall deliver a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party reasonably promptly (and in any event within 30 days or, if reasonably practicable, such shorter period of time as necessary to prevent any adverse impact on the Indemnifying Party with respect to the Claim) after receipt of information forming the basis of a claim. If the Indemnifying Party objects to the Notice of Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a Notice of Objection to the Indemnified Party within 30 days (or, if reasonably practicable, such shorter period of time as necessary to prevent any adverse impact on the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim) of its, his or her receipt of the Notice of Claim. If such claim or claims shall not have been resolved or compromised within a reasonable period from the date of delivery of the Notice of Objection (and in any event within 60 days or such shorter period of time as necessary to prevent any adverse impact on the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim), then either Buyer or Securityholders' Representative may take such actions as are permitted by Law.

10.8Defense of Claims.    The procedures to be followed with respect to the defense and settlement of any claim made by a third party which, if true, would give rise to a right on the part of an Indemnified Party to be indemnified against resulting Losses in whole or in part, under this Article 10 (a "Claim") shall be as follows:

        (a)   If any third party asserts or proposes to assert any claim against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, might result in an obligation of the Indemnifying Party to pay indemnification under this Article 10, the Indemnifying Party, at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party, may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such claim that is defended by the Indemnifying Party with co-counsel of its choice; provided, that the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party's counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) a claim shall have been brought or asserted against the Indemnifying Party as well as the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably determined that there are one or more factual or legal defenses available to it that are in conflict with those that are available to the Indemnifying Party, in which case such co-counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails or is unable to elect to assume the defense of any such claim, the Indemnified Party may do so at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Assuming the defense of such claim shall constitute an admission by the Indemnifying Party that such claim is a proper or valid claim for indemnification, but shall not constitute an admission by the Indemnifying Party as to the amount of Losses asserted in the claim.

        (b)   The Indemnifying Party shall have full right to enter into any compromise or settlement that is dispositive of the matter involved; provided, that (i) except for the settlement of a Claim that involves no obligation of the Indemnified Party other than the

48

payment of money for which indemnification is provided hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (ii) Indemnifying Party may not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of a Claim that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Claim; provided that, if in the reasonable judgment of Indemnified Party it would be materially harmed or otherwise prejudiced by not entering into a proposed settlement or compromise and the Indemnifying Party reasonably withholds consent to such settlement or compromise, Indemnified Party may enter into such settlement or compromise, but such settlement or compromise shall not be conclusive as to the existence or amount of the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party or any third party.

ARTICLE 11

        (d)    Reorganization Matters.

          (i)  Parent and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

11.3Further Assurances.    Each of the Parties, before, at and after the Effective Time, upon the reasonable request from time to time of any other Party and without further consideration (other than the reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses), shall do each and every act and thing as may be necessary or reasonably desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to effect an orderly transfer of the businesses of Company to Parent, including: (a) executing, acknowledging and delivering assurances, assignments, powers of attorney and other documents and instruments; (b) furnishing information and copies of documents, books and records; (c) filing reports, returns, applications, filings and other documents and instruments with Governmental Authorities; (d) assisting in good faith in any Litigation relating to Company (reasonably related to the pre-Closing operations of the Company), threatened Litigation relating to Company (reasonably related to the pre-Closing operations of the Company) and cooperating therein with other Parties and their advisors and representatives, including providing relevant documents and evidence and maintaining confidentiality in connection with such Litigation or threatened Litigation or claims against the Party from whom such cooperation is requested; and (e) assisting in the preparation of audited financial statements for Company, including, in the case of Holders and the Company, signing any management representation letters required by the auditors relating to periods prior to the Closing.

Holders shall be solely liable for and shall pay promptly in full any other agreements and obligations, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any broker's or finder's fee or commission, or any other similar payment to any Person disclosed on Schedule 5.8 or the claims of which Person arise by, through or under any Holder in connection with this Agreement.

50

this Agreement by Company pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Company or the By-Laws of Company for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including those in respect of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liability for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of any current and former officers, directors and employees of Company, and any Person prior to the Effective Time serving at the request of any such party as a director, officer, employee fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, trust or other enterprise, as provided in the respective certificates or articles of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) of Company, and any existing indemnification agreements, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of such individuals for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, for an aggregate period of not less than six years from the Effective Time, Company's current directors and officers an insurance policy that provides coverage for wrongful acts occurring prior to the Effective Time (the "D&O Insurance") on the same terms as Company's existing policy or, if such insurance coverage is unavailable, coverage that is on terms no less favorable to such directors and officers; provided, however, that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 250% of the last annual premiums that Company paid prior to the date of this Agreement, but in such case Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, purchase as much coverage as possible for such amount. The provisions of this Section 11.6 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each indemnified party and his or her heirs and representatives. For the avoidance of any doubt, nothing in this Section 11.6 shall constitute a right of any Holder to be indemnified by the Surviving Corporation for any indemnification or other obligations that such Holder may have in its capacity as a Securityholder pursuant to terms and conditions of this Agreement.

11.7Employee Matters.    From the Effective Time until December 31, 2006, Surviving Corporation shall provide rates of pay and benefits to the Surviving Corporation's employees that are the same rates of pay set forth on Schedule 4.22 and the benefits provided pursuant to the Company Benefit Plans or benefits that are both substantially similar to those provided pursuant to the Company Benefit Plans and are provided to other operating Subsidiaries of Parent.

Parent for itself and Company and all of their respective Affiliates, hereby assigns to Holders any and all right to consent to the representation by any such attorneys of any Holder in any future matter relating to post-Closing disputes concerning this Agreement and all transactions provided for herein. As of the

51

Effective Time, Parent for itself and Company and all of their respective Affiliates waives any conflict of interest (actual or perceived) in Foley & Lardner LLP representing any or all of the Holders or the Stockholders' Representative in any dispute with Parent, Company or any of their respective Affiliates relating to or arising from this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. To the extent that following the Closing, Parent is in control over any communications with, and work product of, such attorneys as they relate to this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements and the transactions effected by each and the preparation and negotiation thereof, together with all written or other materials consisting of, containing, summarizing or embodying such communications and work product, the Parties agree that in any post-Closing disputes between the Company and any of the Holders, neither Parent, Company nor any Holder shall be entitled to assert that such communications are subject to the attorney-client privilege.

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1Amendment.    This Agreement may not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of Parent, the Company and the Securityholders' Representative.

12.2Public Announcements.    Following the date of this Agreement, except as may be required by applicable Securities Laws, rules and regulations of the Nasdaq National Market or any Law applicable to any Holder or any other Party, no Party to this Agreement shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of Parent, the Company and the Securityholders' Representative, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree and acknowledge that: (i) Holders may disclose this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to their accountants, attorneys, investment advisors and other representatives for the sole purpose of evaluating the proposed transactions; provided, that such representatives are informed of the confidential nature the materials provided and, provided, further that if a Holder's representative breaches the terms of the first sentence of this Section 12.2, such Holder will be responsible for such breach and (ii) each Holder that is an entity owned or held by another Person and each Holder that is a trust may make disclosures following Closing that are deemed reasonably necessary to satisfy the Holder's contractual or trust requirements or requirements of Law provided, that such Persons receiving the information are informed of the confidential nature the materials provided and, provided, further that if such Person breaches the terms of the first sentence of this Section 12.2, such Holder will be responsible for such breach. If any Party believes that it is required by applicable Securities Laws or rules and regulations of the Nasdaq National Market to make such a public announcement, it shall promptly advise Parent, the Company and the Securityholders' Representative and use reasonable efforts, consistent with its legal obligations, to allow Parent, the Company and the Securityholders' Representative an opportunity to review and comment upon the announcement before the announcement is made.

12.3Waiver.    Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement at any one time shall not be deemed a waiver of such term or condition at any other time; nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of any right or power granted herein at any time be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of the same or any other right or power at any other time.

12.4Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

12.5Specific Performance; Consent to Jurisdiction.    In view of (a) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring actual damages to be sustained by reason of the failure of a Party to

52

perform this Agreement strictly in accordance with the specific terms hereof, and (b) the uniqueness of the transactions contemplated herein, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the remedy at law for a breach of this Agreement would be inadequate, and (ii) the other Parties would be irreparably damaged if any Party fails to perform the provisions of this Agreement strictly in accordance with their specific terms. Therefore, it is expressly agreed that, in addition to any other remedy to which a nonbreaching Party may be entitled, at law or in equity and regardless of the passage of the Termination Date as long as such breach or purported breach occurred prior to the Termination Date, the nonbreaching Parties shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Delaware. In addition, any other proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be brought by or against any Party in any court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Delaware.

This power of attorney shall continue in force with respect to the Signing Holder until the transfer or release of all of the Escrowed Shares issued in the name of the Signing Holder. In the event that the Signing Holder revokes the power of attorney granted to the Escrow Agent hereunder, then the Signing Holder shall automatically be deemed to have appointed Parent as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with all of the powers and authority set forth in this Section 7.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

        Section 2.01.    Filing of Shelf Registration Statement.    Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare, file and have made effective under the Securities Act, by or before the Closing Date, the Shelf Registration Statement. Before the initial filing of the Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC (and before any subsequent pre-effective filing thereof with the SEC if the Shelf Registration Statement is not an automatic shelf registration statement within the meaning of Rule 405 at the time of initial filing), Parent shall provide the Securityholders Counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Shelf Registration Statement (except that Parent shall have no such obligation with respect to any documents incorporated by reference therein, other than prospectus supplements).

        Section 2.02.    Effectiveness of Shelf Registration Statement.

        (a)   Subject to Section 2.03, for so long as any Registrable Securities are outstanding, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective during the Applicable Effective Period. Parent shall notify the Securityholders Counsel of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement

2

and shall take commercially reasonable actions to prevent the entry of a threatened stop order or to remove a stop order if entered.

        (b)   If the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during an Applicable Effective Period, Parent shall, subject to Section 2.03, use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly amend the Shelf Registration Statement (including by means of filing a document that is incorporated by reference therein or by preparing and, if required, filing a prospectus supplement) in a manner reasonably expected by Parent to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to again become effective under the Securities Act.

        Section 2.03.    Blackout Periods.    If the Board of Directors shall determine, in its good faith judgment, that to effect or maintain the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement would (i) require the public disclosure of material non-public information concerning any transaction or negotiations involving Parent or any of its Affiliates that the Board of Directors believes, in good faith, would materially interfere with such transaction or negotiations or (ii) otherwise require premature disclosure of information, in either case that the Board of Directors believes, in good faith, would be significantly disadvantageous to Parent or any of its Affiliates (a "Disadvantageous Condition"), then Parent may, for a period not to exceed 45 calendar days and in any event, as to any particular Registrable Securities, for no more than 90 calendar days in the aggregate during the Applicable Effective Period for such Registrable Securities, notify those Securityholders who are named in the Shelf Registration Statement and who have Registrable Securities covered thereby that such registration statement is unavailable for use. Upon the receipt of any such notice, the Securityholders shall forthwith discontinue use of the prospectus contained in the Shelf Registration Statement. Parent shall promptly notify the Securityholders who are named in the Shelf Registration Statement and who have Registrable Securities covered thereby when a Disadvantageous Condition shall cease to exist and the Shelf Registration Statement is again available for use. In the event of a suspension pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Applicable Effective Period of the Shelf Registration Statement shall be extended for a number of days equal to the total number of days for which the distribution of Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement by the Securityholders named in the Shelf Registration Statement has been suspended under this Section 2.03.

        Section 2.04.    Plan of Distribution.    Each Securityholder shall be named as a selling securityholder in the prospectus. The "Plan of Distribution" section of the prospectus shall be substantially in the form of Annex A hereto and shall contain such other information as is required by applicable SEC regulations or conforms with applicable SEC practice. Each Securityholder agrees to dispose of its Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement solely in accordance with such "Plan of Distribution" section of the prospectus.

        Section 2.05.    Expenses.    Parent shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article II. Each Securityholder shall pay all fees and expenses of counsel for such Securityholder and all broker fees or commissions relating to the sale or disposition of such Securityholder's Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, and the Securityholders as a group shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Securityholders Counsel.

        Section 2.06.    Transfer of Shelf Registration Rights.    Each Securityholder shall have the right to transfer, by written agreement, any or all of its rights granted under this Agreement to any direct or indirect transferee of such Securityholder's Registrable Securities (a "Permitted Transferee"); provided, (i) such transferee is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) such transferee agrees, in writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement (it being specifically understood that any sale of Registrable Securities by a Permitted Transferee shall be in accordance with the "Plan of Distribution" section of the prospectus, substantially in the form of Annex

3

A hereto); and (iii) such transfer shall be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws and any agreements between Parent and such Securityholder and Parent may require receipt of a legal opinion of counsel to such Securityholder regarding compliance with such laws and agreements. Following any transfer or assignment made pursuant to this Section 2.06, such Securityholder shall retain all rights under this Agreement with respect to any Registrable Securities that continue to be held by such Securityholder.

ARTICLE III

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

        Section 3.01.    Registration Procedures.    In connection with the registration in respect of Registrable Securities contemplated by Article II:

        (a)   Parent will prepare and file with the SEC the Shelf Registration Statement and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such filed registration statement to become and remain effective in accordance with the terms of Article II.

        (b)   Parent shall, at least (i) three days prior to filing a registration statement or any amendment thereto and (ii) one day prior to filing any prospectus supplement, furnish to the Securityholders Counsel a copy thereof for its review and comment, and Parent will not file with the SEC any such registration statement, amendment or prospectus supplement over the reasonable objection of such counsel. Parent will furnish to the Securityholders' Representative such number of copies of the prospectus included in the effective Shelf Registration Statement as the Securityholders Counsel may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by the Securityholders.

        (c)   After the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement, Parent will promptly notify each Securityholder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of the effectiveness thereof and of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC and, subject to Article II, take all commercially reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered and promptly notify such Securityholder of such lifting or withdrawal of such order.

        (d)   Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement reasonably (in the light of such Securityholder's intended plan of distribution) requests and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of Parent's business and operations and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Securityholder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Securityholder; provided that Parent will not be required to (w) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3.01 (d), (x) conform its capitalization or the composition of its assets at the time to the securities or blue sky laws of any such jurisdiction, (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

        (e)   Parent will immediately notify each Securityholder whose Registrable Securities are covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement to such prospectus or an amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and

4

subject to Section 2.03 Parent will promptly prepare and furnish to each such Securityholder a prospectus supplement or an amended prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

        (f)    Parent will take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Registrable Securities; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall require Parent to enter into an underwriting agreement or take any other action which would enable the Securityholders to sell their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering.

        (g)   Parent will make available for inspection by the Securityholders Counsel such financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of Parent (collectively, the "Records") as shall be reasonably necessary to enable the Securityholders to exercise their due diligence responsibility; provided that in no event shall Parent be required to make available to such counsel any information which Parent determines to be competitively sensitive. Records which Parent determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Securityholders Counsel are confidential shall not be disclosed unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the prospectus or (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Securityholder agrees that any information shared with it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of Parent or its Affiliates unless and until such is made generally available to the public. Each Securityholder further agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of any such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to Parent and allow Parent, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of Records deemed confidential.

        (h)   Parent will otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its securityholders as promptly as practicable an earnings statement covering a period of twelve months beginning immediately after the Shelf Registration Statement is initially made effective under the Securities Act, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder.

        (i)    Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on the principal securities exchange or national quotation system on which securities of the same class and series of Parent are then listed or quoted.

        (j)    Parent will prepare and file with the SEC promptly such prospectus supplements as may be required under the Securities Act in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities. Parent may require each Securityholder whose Registrable Securities are covered by the Shelf Registration Statement promptly to furnish in writing to Parent such information regarding the Securityholder and/or or the distribution of its Registrable Securities as Parent may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such distribution. Parent shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of any Securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement if such Securityholder does not promptly furnish in writing to Parent all information reasonably requested by Parent regarding such Securityholder and/or or the distribution of its Registrable Securities.

        (k)   Each Securityholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from Parent of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.01(e), such Securityholder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities until such Securityholder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.01(e).

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION

        Section 4.01.    Indemnification By Parent.    Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law each Securityholder whose Registrable Securities are covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, its officers, directors and each Person, if any, who controls such Securityholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or any prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if Parent shall have timely furnished any amendments or supplements to such prospectus), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to Parent by such Securityholder or on such Securityholder's behalf in either such case expressly for use therein; provided, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall not apply to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense results from (a) the fact that a current copy of the prospectus was not sent or given to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities concerned to such Person if it is determined that Parent has provided such prospectus and it was the responsibility of such Securityholder or its agents to provide such Person with a current copy of the prospectus and such current copy of the prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, (b) the use of any prospectus by or on behalf of any Securityholder after Parent has notified such Person (i) pursuant to Section 3.01(e) that such prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) pursuant to Section 3.01(c) that a stop order has been issued by the SEC with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement or (iii) pursuant to Section 2.03 that a Disadvantageous Condition exists or (c) the use of any prospectus by or on behalf of any Securityholder with respect to any Registrable Securities after such time as Parent's obligation to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective in respect of such Registration Securities has expired.

        Section 4.02.    Indemnification By Securityholders of Registrable Securities.    Each Securityholder whose Registrable Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law (including reimbursement of Parent for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by it in investigating or defending such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense) Parent, its officers, directors and agents and each Person, if any, who controls Parent within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from Parent to such Securityholder in Section 4.01, but only (i) with respect to information furnished in writing by such Securityholder or on such Securityholder's behalf, in either case expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus (including any prospectus supplement) relating to such Securityholder's Registrable Securities or (ii) to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense described in this Section 4.02 results from (a) the fact that a current copy of the prospectus was not sent or given to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities concerned to such Person if it is determined that it was the responsibility of such Securityholder or its agent to provide such Person with a current copy of the prospectus and such current copy of the prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, (b) the use of any prospectus by or on behalf of any

6

Securityholder after Parent has notified such Person (w) that such prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (y) that the SEC has issued a stop order with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement or (z) that a Disadvantageous Condition exists or (c) the use of any prospectus by or on behalf of any Securityholder after such time as the obligation of Parent to keep the related registration statement in respect of such Securityholder's Registrable Securities effective has expired.

        Section 4.03.    Conduct Of Indemnification Proceeding.    In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 4.01 or 4.02 (an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing or conflicting interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, shall be liable only for the reasonable fees and expenses of one firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred upon submission of reasonably itemized invoices that comply with Parent's standard billing policies for outside counsel. In the case of any such separate firm for Securityholders who are entitled to indemnity pursuant to Section 4.01, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Party who had the largest number of Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement at issue. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

        Section 4.04.    Contribution.

        (a)   If the indemnification provided for hereunder is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as between Parent on the one hand and each Securityholder whose Registrable Securities are covered by the Shelf Registration Statement in issue on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Parent and of each such Securityholder in connection with any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or any prospectus or caused by any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading which are the basis of a claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of Parent on the one hand and of each such Securityholder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information

7

supplied by such party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

        (b)   Parent and the Securityholders (including each Permitted Transferee) agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.04 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article IV, no Securityholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities sold by him, her or it under the Shelf Registration Statement exceeds the amount of any damages that such Securityholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

        Section 5.01.    Replacement Agreement.    If necessary or appropriate (in Parent's sole discretion) to protect the rights of the Securityholders hereunder, Parent shall cause any successor to or assignee or acquiror of Parent or all or substantially all Parent's assets (whether by merger, consolidation, transfer or otherwise) to enter into a new registration rights agreement with each Securityholder on terms no less favorable to such Securityholder than the terms provided under this Agreement in connection with any such transaction.

        Section 5.02.    No Third-Party Beneficiaries.    Except as provided in Article IV, this agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties specifically referred to herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.

        Section 5.03.    Successors; Assignment.    This agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and, with respect to any Securityholder, any of their Permitted Transferees. No assignment or transfer shall be effective hereunder unless and until the purported transferee executes and delivers an agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof; provided, that Parent may not assign its obligations hereunder (other than by operation of law or in connection with an action under Section 5.01).

        Section 5.04.    Amendments and Waivers.    Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless consented to in writing by Parent and Securityholders of at least 50% of the Registrable Securities held by all holders of Registrable Securities outstanding as of such date.

        Section 5.05.    Nominees for Beneficial Owners.    If any Registrable Securities are held by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its election in writing delivered to Parent, be treated as the Securityholder for purposes of any request, consent, waiver or other action by any Securityholder or Securityholders pursuant to this agreement or any determination of any number or percentage of Registrable Securities held by any Securityholder or Securityholders

8

contemplated by this agreement. If the beneficial owner of any Registrable Securities makes the election provided in this Section 5.05, Parent may require assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such owner's beneficial ownership of such Registrable Securities.

Plan of Distribution

        The selling securityholders, including their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest who may later hold interests in the securities covered by this prospectus and who are otherwise entitled to resell the securities using this prospectus, may sell the securities covered by this prospectus from time to time in any legal manner selected by the selling securityholders, including directly to purchasers or through broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of fees or commissions from the selling securityholders or the purchasers. These fees or commissions as to any particular broker-dealer or agent may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved. Except with respect to sales to satisfy withholding obligations, the selling securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of the securities covered by this prospectus.

        The selling securityholders have advised us that the securities may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale and/or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in one or more transactions, including:

•

on the Nasdaq National Market;



•

in the over-the-counter market;



•

in transactions otherwise than on the Nasdaq National Market or in the over-the-counter market; or



•

any combination of the foregoing.

        In order to satisfy certain federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations arising as a result of the issuance of certain securities offered pursuant to this prospectus, certain of the selling securityholders may be required to sell through a broker-dealer approved by us a sufficient number of securities offered by this prospectus to satisfy such withholding tax obligations, and to deliver to us the proceeds from such sale. We will use such proceeds to satisfy the applicable withholding obligations. All commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transactions costs, if any, including the expenses and compensation of the broker-dealer, incurred in connection with such sale of securities will be paid by such selling securityholders.

        Except as otherwise provided herein, the selling securityholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, arrangements or understandings with any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus. For more information regarding the registration rights provisions, see "Selling Securityholders—Registration Rights Provisions." The selling securityholders may sell any or all of the securities offered by them pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, there can be no assurance that the selling securityholders will not transfer, devise or gift the securities by other means not described in this prospectus.

        There can be no assurance that the selling securityholders will sell any or all of their securities pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Section 4(1) of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 or Section 4(1) rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

        The aggregate proceeds to a selling securityholder from the sale of securities offered by it will be the purchase price of such securities less fees or commissions, if any. If a selling securityholder's securities are sold through a broker or agent, such selling securityholder will be responsible for any

9

broker or agent fees or commissions. Except as otherwise provided herein, we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus.

        In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the securities may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or any exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

        To the extent required, the securities to be sold, the names of the selling securityholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent or dealer, and any applicable fees or commissions with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

        We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders and their respective directors, officers and controlling persons, if any, against certain liabilities, including specified liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments which any selling securityholder may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. Each selling securityholder has agreed to indemnify us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act with respect to written information furnished to us by it or to contribute with respect to payments in connection with such liabilities.

        We have agreed to pay all of the costs, fees and expenses incident to our registration of the resale of the selling securityholders' securities, excluding any legal fees of the selling securityholders, and fees or commissions of broker-dealers and agents.

        Under our registration rights agreement with the selling securityholders, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part continuously effective, subject to customary suspension periods, as to a particular security covered thereby until no later than the first anniversary of the issuance of such security by Parent.

        Our obligation to keep the registration statement to which this prospectus relates effective is subject to specified exceptions. In these cases, we may suspend offers and sales of the securities pursuant to the registration statement to which this prospectus relates.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        You have requested our opinion, as counsel for Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Liberty"), in connection with Liberty's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-            ) (the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement relates to the resale, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), from time to time of up to 3,073,232 shares of Liberty's Series A Liberty Interactive common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), by the selling stockholders named in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement (the "Prospectus").

        In rendering our opinion, we have examined, among other things, originals, certified copies or copies otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being copies of originals, of (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 20, 2006, among Liberty, BuySeasons, Inc., Pumpkin Merger Sub, Inc., and the Securityholders' Representative named therein (the "Merger Agreement"), which was filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, (ii) the executed Joinder Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (iii) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Liberty, (iv) records of proceedings of Liberty's Board of Directors, including committees thereof, with respect to the filing of the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Shares, and (v) such other documents, records, instruments and certificates of public officials and officers of Liberty as we deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

        Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that upon the issuance and delivery of the Shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued and non-assessable.

        This opinion is limited to the corporate laws of the state of Delaware, and the laws of the United States of America. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus. In so doing, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

Very truly yours,
