On April 5, 2007, CMGI, Inc. (“CMGI”) announced that it had appointed Steven G. Crane as Chief Financial Officer of CMGI. Mr. Crane is expected to commence employment on April 24, 2007. In connection therewith, CMGI and Mr. Crane executed an employment offer letter on April 4, 2007 (the “Offer Letter”), which provides for the employment of Mr. Crane at an annual salary of $375,000, which salary shall increase to $400,000 in November 2007. Mr. Crane is also eligible for an annual cash bonus under CMGI’s FY2008 Executive Management Incentive Plan (which will be established by the Compensation Committee), with a target bonus equal to 60% of his annual salary. Mr. Crane’s bonus for fiscal year 2007 will be guaranteed at $225,000. Pursuant to the Offer Letter, on his first day of employment, Mr. Crane will be granted an option to purchase 650,000 shares of CMGI’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the common stock as reported on Nasdaq on the date of grant. Such option will have a seven-year term and will vest 25% of the total number of shares subject to the option on the first anniversary of the grant date and 1/48th of the shares subject to the option on each monthly anniversary date of the grant date starting on the 13th monthly anniversary date. In addition, on his first day of employment, Mr. Crane will be awarded 350,000 shares of CMGI’s common stock. Such restricted shares will be subject to forfeiture provisions which will lapse as to 33 1/3% of the total number of shares subject to the grant on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. In connection with the grants of stock options and restricted stock, Mr. Crane and CMGI will also enter into an agreement containing non-competition covenants in favor of CMGI during Mr. Crane’s employment and for twelve months thereafter.

The Offer Letter also provides that in the event that (A) his employment is terminated by CMGI for a reason other than for Cause (as defined), then CMGI will pay Mr. Crane his then-current annual base salary for the twelve month period following his termination, and (B) his employment is terminated by CMGI for a reason other than for Cause within twelve months following a Change of Control (as defined), then CMGI will pay Mr. Crane his then-current annual base salary for the twelve month period following his termination plus his target bonus. Payment of any severance benefits is conditional upon Mr. Crane executing a general release in favor of CMGI.

Mr. Crane, 50, has served as President of FT Interactive Data Corporation, a subsidiary of Interactive Data Corporation, from June 2006 to the present. From November 1999 until June 2006, Mr. Crane served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Interactive Data Corporation.

Mr. Steven G. Crane

Dear Steve:

It is a distinct pleasure to offer you the position of Chief Financial Officer of CMGI, Inc. (“CMGI” or the “Company”), effective on your first date of employment with the Company. In this capacity you will report to Joseph C. Lawler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CMGI.

Your annualized base salary initially will be $375,000, paid bi-weekly. This amount will be increased to $400,000 for the pay cycle beginning closest to November 1, 2007 (assuming you remain employed by the Company at that time). You will also receive a guaranteed bonus for fiscal year 2007 of $225,000, which will be paid at the same time as bonuses are paid to other Executive Leadership Team members, in approximately October 2007. For fiscal year 2008, commencing August 1, 2007, you will participate in the Company’s FY2008 Executive Management Incentive Plan (which will be established by the Compensation Committee) with a target bonus of 60% of your base salary. The actual bonus payment you receive for fiscal 2008 will be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan, which will provide for payouts that range from 0% to 200% of target. All salary and bonus payments are subject to normal deductions and withholdings.

In addition, on your start date, you will be granted an option to purchase 650,000 shares of CMGI common stock under CMGI’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). This option will be priced at the closing price of CMGI’s common stock (during normal trading hours) on the date of grant. Provided you remain employed by the Company on each vesting date, the vesting schedule of the option shall be as follows: 25% of the shares underlying the option shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 1/48th of the shares underlying the option shall vest and become exercisable on each monthly anniversary date of the date of grant starting on the 13th monthly anniversary date of the date of grant, so that the option becomes fully vested and exercisable on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. The option shall have a seven (7) year term.


Mr. Steven G. Crane

On your start date, you will also be awarded 350,000 shares of restricted common stock of CMGI. This award will be made pursuant to the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. Provided you remain employed by the Company on each vesting date, the restrictions with respect to the restricted stock award will lapse in three equal annual installments (each with respect to 33.33% of the award), on each of the first three anniversary dates of your start date. The Company encourages you to promptly speak with your own tax or legal advisor with respect to the tax effect and any filings that you may want to make with the Internal Revenue Service in connection with this restricted stock award.

The option and the restricted stock award described above will each be subject to all terms, limitations, restrictions and termination provisions set forth in the referenced plans and in the separate option and restricted stock agreements (which will be based upon the Company’s standard forms of option and restricted stock agreement) that will be executed to evidence the grant of such option and award of restricted stock. You will also be required to execute the Company’s standard form of Non-Competition Agreement as a condition of CMGI granting you an option to purchase CMGI common stock, awarding you shares of CMGI restricted stock and your employment with the Company. Additionally, as a condition of employment with the Company, you will be required to execute the Company’s standard form of Non-Disclosure and Developments Agreement.

You will also be eligible to receive annual equity grants in 2007. In particular, the Company typically makes an annual equity grant following the release of full year results each year and you will be eligible to participate with a targeted grant of an option to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock. In addition, as a senior executive of the Company you will be a participant in the Company’s FY2007 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Bonus Plan. Under this plan, if the Company meets certain financial goals in fiscal 2007, participants will receive a pre-determined number of shares of restricted stock, and you will receive 90,000 shares of restricted stock. If the financial goals are not met, no awards will be made under this plan.

In addition, during the course of your employment you will be provided a monthly car allowance in the amount of $1,000, which will be treated for tax purposes as additional compensation to you. As an employee of the Company, you also will be entitled to vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policies and will participate in any and all benefit programs, other than any severance arrangement, that the Company establishes and makes generally available to its employees from time to time, provided you are eligible under (and subject to all provisions of) the plan documents governing those programs. Details of the benefits offered will be reviewed with you in orientation on your first day of employment.

entitled to receive 12 months base salary. Payment of this amount would be made in accordance with the Company’s regular pay periods, for the 12 month period following your date of termination.

In addition, in the event that during your employment with the Company, the Company undergoes a Change in Control (as defined below), and within one year after the Change in Control your employment is terminated by the Company, other than for Cause, you will be entitled to receive 12 months base salary plus your target bonus. Payment of these amounts would be made in accordance with the Company’s regular pay periods, for the 12 month period following your date of termination, including prorated installments of your bonus.

You represent and warrant that (i) you have advised the Company in writing of any agreement relating to non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality between you and your previous employer, (ii) you are not a party to or bound by any other employment agreement, non-compete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity which would be violated by your acceptance of this position or
