Venture Capital
 
The Company maintains interests in several venture capital funds: CMG@Ventures I, LLC (“CMG@Ventures I”); CMG@Ventures II, LLC (“CMG@Ventures II”); CMG@Ventures III, LLC (“CMG@Ventures III”); CMG@Ventures Expansion, LLC (“CMG@Ventures Expansion”); and CMGI@Ventures IV, LLC (“CMGI@Ventures IV”). CMGI’s venture funds (“CMGI @Ventures”) invest in emerging Internet service and technology companies, introducing innovative and promising technology companies into the CMGI network to complement and create competitive advantage throughout the extended family of companies. The Company anticipates and promotes synergies between these strategic positions and CMGI’s core businesses, including speeding technological innovation and access to markets.
 
The Company owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to approximately 77.5% of the cumulative net profits of CMG@Ventures I. The Company owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to approximately 80% of the cumulative net profits of CMG@Ventures II.
 
CMGI formed the @Ventures III venture capital funds (“@Ventures III Fund”) in August 1998. The @Ventures III Fund secured capital commitments from outside investors and CMGI, to be invested in emerging

Table of Contents
Internet and technology companies. The @Ventures III Fund consists of four entities, which co-invest in each investment made by the @Ventures III Fund. Approximately 78% of each investment made by the @Ventures III Fund is made by two entities, @Ventures III, L.P. and @Ventures Foreign Fund III, L.P. CMGI does not have a direct ownership interest in either of these entities, but CMGI is entitled to approximately 2% of the cumulative net capital gains realized by both entities (after return of certain priority amounts to the investors in such entities) as a result of its ownership of an approximately 10% interest in the general partner of each of such entities, @Ventures Partners, III, LLC (“@Ventures Partners III”). CMG@Ventures III co-invests approximately 20% of the total amount invested in each @Ventures III Fund portfolio company investment. CMGI owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to approximately 80% of the cumulative net capital gains realized by CMG@Ventures III. @Ventures Partners III is entitled to the remaining 20% of the net capital gains realized by CMG@Ventures III. The remaining 2% invested in each @Ventures III Fund investment is provided by a fourth entity, @Ventures Investors, LLC, in which CMGI has no interest. During fiscal year 2000, CMGI formed additional venture capital fund entities to provide follow-on financing to @Ventures III Fund portfolio companies. These expansion funds have a structure that is substantially identical to the @Ventures III Fund, and CMGI’s interests in such funds are comparable to its interests in the @Ventures III Fund.
 
CMGI owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to a percentage (ranging from approximately 80% to approximately 92.5%) of the net profits realized by CMGI@Ventures IV on each of its investments.
 
An aggregate of approximately $8.2 million was invested by CMGI’s venture capital affiliates during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
Each CMGI operating company maintains its own separate sales and marketing staff, enabling the sales personnel to develop strong customer relationships and expertise in their respective areas. Each company has established its own direct sales force experienced in each subsidiary’s business to address the new and evolving requirements of its business arena. CMGI and its operating companies believe that an experienced sales staff is critical to initiating and maintaining customer relationships.
 
The Company’s subsidiaries attend numerous trade shows in the Internet and high technology markets, while further supplementing marketing efforts with space advertising and product and services listings in appropriate directories. In addition, user group meetings are sponsored for customers, where new products and services are highlighted. CMGI also markets through public relations, its Web site and CMGI-sponsored events. In addition, in certain instances, CMGI and its subsidiaries have complemented these activities by retaining advertising and public relations agencies.
 
Competition
 
The market for Internet-related products and services is rapidly evolving, highly competitive and characterized by few significant barriers to entry. Although the Company believes that the diverse segments of the Internet market will provide opportunities for more than one provider of products and services similar to those of the Company, it is possible that a single provider may dominate one or more market segments. The Company believes the principal competitive factors in the markets for Internet-related products and services include name recognition, performance, cost, ease of use, variety of value-added services, functionality and features, and quality of support. Competitors include a wide variety of companies and organizations, including Internet software, content, service and technology companies, telecommunication companies, equipment/technology suppliers and traditional retailers.
 
The market for supply chain management services and solutions is very competitive. The Company expects the intensity of competition to continue to increase. A failure to maintain and enhance the Company’s competitive position will limit its ability to maintain and increase market share, which would result in serious

9


Table of Contents
harm to the Company’s business. Increased competition may also result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share. The Company competes in the supply chain management market on the basis of quality, performance, service levels, global capabilities, technology, operational efficiency and price.
 
Some of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater financial, infrastructure, personnel and other resources than the Company. Furthermore, some of the Company’s competitors have well established, large and experienced marketing and sales capabilities and greater name recognition, including well established relationships with the Company’s current and potential clients. As a result, the Company’s competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in client requirements. They may also develop and promote their services more effectively than the Company. Also, the Company may lose potential clients to competitors for various reasons, including the ability or willingness of its competitors to offer lower prices and other incentives that the Company cannot match. There can be no assurance that the Company’s competitors will not develop products and services that are superior to those of the Company or that achieve greater market acceptance than the Company’s offerings.
 
Research and Development
 
The Company develops and markets a variety of products and services, the markets for which are often characterized by rapid technological development. The Company believes that its future success will depend in large part on its ability to continue to enhance its existing products and services and to develop other products and services which complement existing ones or extend into new markets. In order to respond to rapidly changing competitive and technological conditions, the Company expects to continue to incur significant research and development expenses during the initial development phase of new products and services as well as on an on-going basis.
 
During fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company expended approximately $53.7 million, $144.9 million and $148.7 million, respectively, or approximately 8%, 12% and 17%, respectively, of net revenue, on research and development. Information regarding in-process research and development expenses in connection with acquisitions and investments is set forth in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 7 below.
 
Other
 
The Company relies upon a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws to protect its intellectual property. The Company owns, or holds licenses to use, numerous patents. New patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property are from time to time developed or obtained through the Company’s research and development and acquisition activities. None of the Company’s segments is substantially dependent on any single or group of related patents, trademarks, copyrights or licenses.
 
At July 31, 2002, the Company employed a total of 2,414 persons on a full-time basis. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a labor union. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.
 
Certain segment information, including revenue and profit information, is set forth in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 below and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 7 below, and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Significant customers information is set forth under the heading “Diversification of Risk” in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 below and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
For each of the last three fiscal years, the Company’s revenues from external customers were primarily attributed to the Company’s North American operations, and substantially all of the Company’s assets were located in the United States. Approximately 10% of the total revenues of the Enterprise Software and Services segment were generated outside the United States during fiscal year 2002.

Table of Contents
 
Because of the diversity of the Company’s products and services, as well as the wide geographic dispersion of its facilities, the Company uses numerous sources for the wide variety of raw materials needed for its operations. The Company has not been adversely affected by inability to obtain raw materials.

Other

ITEM 3.—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
In December 1999, Neil Braun, a former officer of iCAST Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“iCAST”), filed a complaint in United States District Court, Southern District of New York naming the Company, iCAST and David S. Wetherell as defendants. In the complaint, Mr. Braun alleged breach of contract regarding his termination from iCAST and claimed that he was entitled to acceleration of options to purchase CMGI common stock and iCAST common stock, upon his termination, under contract and promissory estoppel principles. Mr. Braun also claimed that, under quantum meruit principles, he was entitled to lost compensation. Mr. Braun sought damages of approximately $50 million and requested specific performance of the acceleration and exercise of options. In August 2001, the Court (i) granted summary judgment dismissing Mr. Wetherell as a defendant and (ii) granted summary judgment, disposing of Mr. Braun’s contract claim. In February 2002, the Court granted summary judgment disposing of Mr. Braun’s promissory estoppel claim. Trial on the quantum meruit claim was held in March 2002 and the jury returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Braun and against the Company in the amount of $113,482.24. As to iCAST, the jury found that Mr. Braun had not proven his claim. The Company filed a motion for directed verdict, which motion sought to set aside the jury verdict against the Company. Such motion was denied. In May 2002, Mr. Braun appealed the Court’s dismissal of his contract and promissory estoppel claims against iCAST and the Company. Full briefing on the appeal is not yet complete and no argument date has yet been set.
 
In August 2001, Jeffrey Black, a former employee of AltaVista, filed a complaint in Superior Court of the State of California (Santa Clara County) in his individual capacity as well as in his capacity as a trustee of two

11


Table of Contents
family trusts against the Company and AltaVista alleging certain claims arising out of the termination of Mr. Black’s employment with AltaVista. As set forth in the complaint, Mr. Black is seeking monetary damages in excess of $70 million. The Company and AltaVista each believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. In March 2002, the court ordered the entire case to binding arbitration in California. In June 2002, Mr. Black petitioned the California Court of Appeal for a writ prohibiting enforcement of the order compelling arbitration of his cause of action for wrongful termination in violation of public policy. In July 2002, the Court of Appeal denied Mr. Black’s petition. In August 2002, Mr. Black submitted the matter before the American Arbitration Association.

On January 28, 2002, Mark Nutritionals, Inc. (“MNI”) filed suit against AltaVista in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division. The claims against AltaVista include unfair competition and trademark infringement and dilution, under both federal law and the laws of the State of Texas. MNI is seeking compensatory damages in the amount of $10,000,000 and punitive damages. AltaVista believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. AltaVista filed its answer on March 1, 2002, denying the allegations. AltaVista is entitled to indemnification by a third party with respect to this matter.
 
On April 16, 2002, NCR Corporation filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against uBid. The complaint alleges that uBid has infringed four patents held by NCR and seeks unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. uBid believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. On May 28, 2002, uBid filed its answer to the complaint, denying the allegations.
 
On February 26, 2002, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, Engage and the individual members of the Board of Directors of Engage (David S. Wetherell, George A. McMillan, Christopher M. Cuddy, Edward M. Bennett and Peter J. Rice). The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties by the Company and the individual defendants, and violations of Delaware law. The complaint requests, among other things, that the court (i) enjoin Engage from effecting a proposed reverse stock split, (ii) enjoin the issuance of shares of Engage common stock to the Company upon conversion of promissory notes previously issued by Engage to the Company, (iii) award rescissory relief if the reverse stock split and stock issuances are consummated, and (iv) award the plaintiff compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses. On February 28, 2002, the Delaware Court of Chancery denied a request by the plaintiffs for the scheduling of a preliminary injunction hearing, and denied a request to allow expedited discovery in the lawsuit. In May 2002, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. In addition to the requests stated in the original complaint, the amended complaint requests that the court (i) enjoin a proposed merger by and among the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Engage (the “Merger”), and (ii) declare the Merger not to be entirely fair to the plaintiffs. On August 2, 2002, this matter was consolidated with the related matters set forth in the following two paragraphs. In light of the September 9, 2002 transaction in which the Company divested all of its equity and debt ownership interests in Engage, on October 18, 2002, all parties submitted to the Court a stipulated order agreeing to dismiss, with prejudice as to the named plaintiffs only, this matter as moot. The stipulated order further provides that the Court shall retain jurisdiction over the matter to consider any application for attorney’s fees and expenses submitted by plaintiffs or their counsel.
 
On May 21, 2002, a purported class action lawsuit was filed with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, Engage and the individual members of the Board of Directors of Engage (David S. Wetherell, George A. McMillan, Christopher M. Cuddy, Edward M. Bennett and Peter J. Rice). The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint requests, among other things, that the Court (i) enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, the Merger, (ii) rescind the Merger (in the event it is consummated) or grant the plaintiffs rescissory damages, (iii) direct that the defendants account to plaintiffs for all damages caused to the plaintiffs and any special benefits obtained as a result of alleged unlawful conduct, and (iv) award the plaintiffs the costs and disbursements (including attorneys’ fees) relating to this action. On August 2, 2002, this matter was consolidated with the related matters set forth in the following and preceding paragraphs.

7.—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND  
 
RESULTS
 
OF OPERATIONS
 
The matters discussed in this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical information provided herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed below in “Factors That May Affect Future Results,” and elsewhere in this report, and the risks discussed in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis, judgment, belief or expectation only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Company previously reported five operating segments: (i) Interactive Marketing, (ii) eBusiness and Fulfillment, (iii) Search and Portals, (iv) Infrastructure and Enabling Technologies, and (v) Internet Professional Services. As a result of the cessation of operations, sale or other disposition of several subsidiaries and restructuring efforts at several of the remaining subsidiaries, the Company realigned its operating segments in fiscal 2002 to include three operating segments: (i) Enterprise Software and Services which consists of Engage, Inc. (Engage), Yesmail, Inc. (Yesmail), AltaVista Company (AltaVista), ProvisionSoft, Inc. (ProvisionSoft, formerly CMGion), Equilibrium Technologies, Inc. (Equilibrium) and Tallan, Inc. (Tallan), (ii) eBusiness and Fulfillment (which consists of SalesLink Corporation (SalesLink), uBid, Inc. (uBid), SL Supply Chain Services International Corp. (SL Supply Chain) and the historical results of Signatures SNI, Inc., (Signatures) until the sale of the Company’s majority interest in February 2001), (iii) Managed Application Services (which consists of NaviSite, Inc. (NaviSite) and the historical results of NaviPath, Inc. (NaviPath), ExchangePath LLC (ExchangePath) and 1stUp.com Corporation (1stUp) until the cessation of their operations in January 2002, January 2001 and December 2000, respectively, and Activate.Net Corporation (Activate), until its sale in September 2001). The Other segment represents certain corporate marketing and administrative expenses and the Company’s venture capital arm, which invests in companies involved in various aspects of the Internet.
 
On September 11, 2002, the Company sold all its equity and debt ownership interests in NaviSite. As a result, for all periods presented, NaviSite, which was previously included within the Managed Application Services segment, has been accounted for as a discontinued operation, as NaviSite’s product offering represents both a major line of business and a distinct class of customer. At the time of the sale, NaviSite comprised more than 90% of both the total assets and operating losses of the Managed Application Services segment. Accordingly, NaviSite’s net current assets and net non-current assets (liabilities) have been segregated from continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and its operating results have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, and related notes to the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating its segment presentation and disclosures as a result of the recent dispositions of NaviSite, Engage, and Equilibrium.
 
In addition to its two current operating segments in fiscal year 2002, the Company continues to report a Portals (formerly Search and Portals) segment that consists of the operations of MyWay and iCAST, as these entities do not meet the aggregation criteria under SFAS No. 131 with respect to the Company’s current reporting segments. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2001, management announced its decision to cease funding the operations of iCAST, and in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, management announced its decision to cease funding the operations of MyWay. Accordingly, the historical results of these companies will continue to be reported in the Portals segment, as will any residual results from operations that exist through the cessation of operations. Prior to the realignment of the business and the reporting segments, the Portals segment also included the results of AltaVista. For comparative purposes, the historical results of AltaVista for all periods presented have been reclassified to the Enterprise Software and Services segment. Also, the Company will continue to report a Managed Application Services segment which includes the historical results of NaviPath, ExchangePath

and 1stUp until the cessation of their operations in January 2002, January 2001 and December 2000, respectively, and Activate, until its sale in September 2001.
 
Certain amounts for prior periods in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and in the discussion below, have been reclassified to conform with current period presentations.
 
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Accordingly, segment results reported by CMGI exclude the effect of transactions between CMGI’s subsidiaries.

(together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CMGI” or the “Company”) is an operating and development company comprised of established and emerging companies, including both CMGI operating businesses and investments.

CMGI’s affiliated venture capital arm is comprised of several venture capital funds that focus on investing in companies involved in various aspects of the Internet and Internet technology. CMGI’s business strategy over the years has led to the development, acquisition and operation of a number of majority-owned subsidiaries focused on Internet technologies and supply chain management services, as well as the strategic investment in other Internet companies that have demonstrated synergies with CMGI’s core businesses. The Company’s strategy also envisions and promotes opportunities for synergistic business relationships among its subsidiaries, investments and affiliates.

The decrease in net revenue in fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001 was largely the result of decreased net revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services segment and the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment, and to a lesser extent the effects of the sale or cessation of operations of several companies in fiscal 2001 and 2002. The decrease in net revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily due to decreases at AltaVista, Engage and Tallan. The decrease in net revenue at AltaVista was due primarily to continued softness in the on-line advertising market and the impact of transitioning AltaVista’s business strategy from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. The decrease in net revenue at Engage was primarily due to the softness in the on-line advertising market, which led to the decision by Engage to exit its media business during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. Engage also experienced declines in software license and professional services revenues during fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior year. The decrease in net revenue at Tallan was due primarily to continued softness in demand for customized technology solutions, which contributed to reductions in both average billing rates and billable hours as compared to the prior year. The decrease in net revenue within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily due to decreased net revenue at uBid and the Company’s sale of a majority of its interest in Signatures in February 2001. Net revenue at uBid decreased primarily as a result of changes in its sales strategy, which included, among other things, the elimination of certain product categories, reductions in the volume of products made available for sale on uBid’s website and an increase in drop shipment sales as a percent of total sales in fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior year. Drop shipment sales result in uBid recording its net fee on the transaction as revenue as opposed to direct shipment sales of uBid’s inventory, which result in uBid recording the gross merchandise sale as revenue. In addition, uBid experienced a shift in the mix of its bidding volume from its business to consumer auctions, under which uBid records gross revenue, to its consumer to consumer auctions, under which uBid records a only a percentage of the transaction as revenue. Net revenue at SalesLink decreased in fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001 due to volume decreases in supply chain management and literature distribution services; however, these net revenue declines were partially offset by the net revenue contribution provided by CMGI’s acquisition of SL Supply Chain during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002. The decrease in net revenue within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily due to the cessation of operations of NaviPath and 1stUp, and the sale of Activate. The decrease in net revenue within the Portals segment was primarily due to the cessation of operations of MyWay during fiscal year 2002.

Cost of revenue consisted primarily of expenses related to the cost of products purchased for sale or distribution. Additionally, cost of revenue included expenses related to the content, connectivity and production associated with delivering the Company’s products and services. The Company’s cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue decreased to approximately 86% in fiscal 2002 from approximately 89% in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the cessation of operations of NaviPath, 1stUp, MyWay, iCAST, and ExchangePath during fiscal 2001 and 2002. Additionally, both Engage and AltaVista made certain changes in their business strategies that involved, among other things, changes to their product and service offerings and reductions in the underlying infrastructure costs associated with delivering those products and services. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services segment decreased to approximately 54% in fiscal 2002 from approximately 61% in the prior fiscal year primarily due to lower cost of revenue at Engage, AltaVista, and ProvisionSoft. The decrease in cost of revenue at Engage was primarily the result of Engage’s decision to cease operations of its lower margin media business and to focus on its higher margin software business. The decrease in cost of revenue at AltaVista was primarily due to reductions in infrastructure and ad serving costs related to the delivery of AltaVista’s on-line advertising based products and services, including approximately $15.3 million in cost savings versus the prior year as a result of AltaVista’s agreement with Compaq Financial Services (now Hewlett-Packard Financial Services, HPFS) to purchase certain equipment that it had previously leased, as part of AltaVista’s shift in its business strategy from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment increased to approximately 94% in fiscal 2002 from approximately 89% in the prior fiscal year primarily as a result of higher cost of revenue at both uBid and SalesLink. The increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue at uBid was primarily the result of declines in product margin for certain categories of products sold by uBid on its website. As a result, uBid has made certain changes in its sales strategy, which involved, among other things, the elimination of certain product categories and reductions in the volume of certain products made available for sale on its website. Additionally, during fiscal year 2002, uBid transitioned its business to a new order management system and a new warehouse facility and encountered certain technical difficulties in connection with the systems conversion that resulted in higher costs to the company. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue for SalesLink increased largely as a result of lower sales levels and reduced pricing of SalesLink’s services within its supply chain management and literature distribution businesses, respectively, increased depreciation expense related to a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and increased costs associated with the transition to its new distribution center in Memphis, Tennessee. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the Managed Application Services segment decreased to approximately 240% in fiscal 2002 from approximately 288% in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the cessation of operations at NaviPath and 1stUp, and the sale of Activate. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the Portals segment decreased to approximately 60% in fiscal 2002 from approximately 165% in the prior fiscal year primarily as a result of the closing of operations at MyWay and iCAST.

Research and development expenses consisted primarily of personnel and related costs to design, develop, enhance, test and deploy the Company’s products and services either prior to the development efforts reaching technological feasibility or once the product had reached the maintenance phase of its life cycle. Research and development expenses decreased primarily due to the shift in business focus at AltaVista and Engage and the cessation of operations at ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, AdForce, MyWay, ExchangePath, iCAST, NaviPath, and 1stUp. The decrease in research and development expenses within the Enterprise Software and Services segment in fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior fiscal year was primarily the result of restructuring efforts at both AltaVista and Engage in connection with changes in their respective business strategies, and the cessation of operations at AdForce. The decrease in research and development expense at AltaVista was primarily the result of reductions in headcount, facilities and equipment costs as part of a significant decrease in development efforts on the AltaVista portal site in connection with the change in AltaVista’s business strategy from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. The decrease in research and development expense at Engage was the result of reductions in their research and development staff during the second half of fiscal 2001 and the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The research and development staff reductions were brought about by changes in Engage’s business strategy due to the significant decline in the media business, which led to the decision by Engage to exit its media business during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. The decrease in research and development expense within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was the result of the sale of a majority interest in Signatures during fiscal year 2001. The decrease in research and development expense within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of the cessation of operations at ExchangePath, NaviPath, and 1stUp, and the sale of Activate. The decrease in research and development expense within the Portals segment was primarily due to the cessation of operations of MyWay and iCAST.

During fiscal year 2002 the Company did not incur any in-process research and development expenses. In-process research and development expenses totaled approximately $1.5 million in fiscal year 2001. The in-process research and development expenses incurred during fiscal year 2001 related to charges taken in connection with Engage’s acquisition of MediaBridge Technologies, Inc. in September 2000 and CMGI@Ventures IV, LLC’s investment in Avamar Technologies, Inc.

Selling expenses consisted primarily of advertising and other general marketing related expenses, compensation and employee-related expenses, sales commissions, facilities costs, credit card processing fees, tradeshow expenses and travel costs. Certain fulfillment costs, including warehousing costs related to activities such as receiving goods and the picking and packing of goods for shipment within the Company’s eBusiness and Fulfillment segment, are classified as selling expenses. Selling expenses decreased during fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior fiscal year by approximately 58%. The decrease was primarily due to headcount reductions, lower sales commissions as a result of lower net revenue, significant reductions in marketing campaigns, the closing of Engage’s media business, the cessation of the operations of AdForce, ExchangePath, and 1stUp, the effect of the sale of a majority interest in Signatures and the sale of Activate. The decrease within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily the result of reductions in selling expenses at AltaVista and Engage. The decrease in selling expense at AltaVista was due to reduced employee related expenses, third party commission costs and significant reductions in the scope of certain sales and marketing campaigns as part of the transition of AltaVista’s business strategy from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. The decrease in selling expenses at Engage included significant reductions in headcount and associated sales commissions, as well as the consolidation of office facilities as a result of the closing of its media business and reductions in travel, consulting, advertising and trade show expenses for its remaining operations. The decrease in selling expenses within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the result of the sale of the Company’s majority interest in Signatures and reduced credit card processing fees at uBid as a result of the decline in uBid’s net revenue during fiscal 2002. The decrease in selling expense within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of reductions in headcount, sales commissions and marketing programs due to the sale of Activate and the closing of operations at NaviPath, ExchangePath and 1stUp. The decrease in selling expense within the Portals segment was primarily the result of the closing of the operations of iCAST and MyWay, including a $2.4 million benefit from the finalization of estimates associated with the closure activities of iCAST and MyWay. The increase in selling expense within the Other segment during fiscal year 2002 was primarily the result of a one-time charge in the fourth quarter of approximately $20.0 million that the Company recorded as a result of changes in its sponsorship arrangement with the New England Patriots. Under the terms of the original sponsorship agreement the Company was to pay $7.6 million per year for the first ten years, with consumer price index adjustments for years eleven through fifteen, in exchange for a comprehensive collection of sponsorship and promotional rights associated with the stadium. Under the terms of an amendment to the original agreement, the Company relinquished the stadium naming rights and maintained more limited marketing rights in exchange for a series of payments of  $1.6 million per year beginning in January of 2003 and ending in July of 2015. The amendment to the original agreement reduced the Company’s future obligation by approximately $86.0 million. During fiscal 2002, significant reductions were made in corporate marketing, staff and related costs.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and other employee related costs, facilities costs, bad debt expense and fees for professional services. General and administrative expenses decreased in fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily due to headcount reductions, the consolidation of office space, reduced information systems costs, the cessation of the operations of AdForce, NaviPath, MyWay, iCAST, 1stUp, and ExchangePath, and the sale of Activate. The decrease in general and administrative expenses within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily the result of significant reductions in payroll and other employee related expenses at Engage as a result of restructuring initiatives that ultimately involved the closing of Engage’s media business. Additionally, general and administrative expenses decreased at AltaVista during fiscal year 2002 as a result of reductions in headcount related expenses due to restructuring initiatives in fiscal 2001 and 2002 and a decrease in professional fees, partially offset by a charge recorded by AltaVista related to the renegotiation of the terms of a real estate lease. General and administrative expense for fiscal year 2002 also included a net $4.8 million charge, that was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, to adjust the remaining net assets and liabilities of Adforce to their estimated net realizable value at the end of fiscal year 2002. The increase in general and administrative expenses within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment were primarily the result of increased information systems costs at uBid in connection with their new ERP system, offset largely by the sale of the Company’s majority interest in Signatures. The decrease in general and administrative expenses in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily due to the cessation of operations at NaviPath, 1stUp and ExchangePath, and the sale of Activate. The decrease in the general and administrative expenses within the Portals segment was primarily the result of closing the operations of MyWay and iCAST, including a $6.3 million benefit from the finalization of estimates associated with the closing activities of MyWay and iCAST. The decrease in the general and administrative expenses within the Other segment, which includes certain corporate administrative functions such as legal, finance and business development which are not fully allocated to CMGI’s subsidiary companies, was primarily the result of a decrease in headcount-related expenses as part of an overall effort to reduce spending across all Corporate administrative functions.

Table of Contents
intangible assets and stock-based compensation expenses was approximately $3.0 million and $68.3 million of stock-based compensation for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The overall decrease in amortization of intangible assets was primarily the result of intangible asset impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2001. These impairment charges reduced the carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets, to be amortized over their remaining useful lives. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation within the Enterprise Software and Services segment in fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001 was primarily the result of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets of AltaVista, Engage, Tallan, ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, AdForce, and Yesmail. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment in fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001 was primarily the result of a decrease in the amortization of stock-based compensation due to the sale of the Company’s majority interest in Signatures. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation within the Managed Application Services segment in fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001 was primarily the result of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to Activate, which was sold in September 2001, and the cessation of operations at 1stUp. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation within the Portals segment primarily resulted from impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets of MyWay, and to a lesser extent iCAST. The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Nos. 141 and 142, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. In accordance with the provisions of these statements, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to periodic impairment tests. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

The Company records impairment charges as a result of management’s ongoing business review and impairment analysis performed under its existing policy regarding impairment. Where impairment indicators were identified, management determined the amount of the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets to their fair value. Management determines fair value of goodwill and certain other intangible assets based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the Company. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the Company based on the relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the Company in comparison to the guideline companies. Management predominantly utilizes third-party valuation reports in its determination of fair value. Management predominantly determines fair value of other long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, based on third-party valuation reports. As a result, during management’s quarterly reviews of the value and periods of amortization and depreciation of long-lived assets, it was determined that the carrying value of certain long-lived assets was not fully recoverable. During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $73.1 million and $3.4 billion, respectively. The decrease in impairment charges in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 within the Enterprise Software and Services segment are primarily the result of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain goodwill and intangible assets of AltaVista, Engage, Tallán, Yesmail, and

Table of Contents
ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, AdForce. The fiscal 2002 impairment charges recorded in the Enterprise Software and Services segment primarily included the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at Engage and Tallan, and an impairment charge related to certain equipment and leasehold improvements of AltaVista. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, Engage recorded an impairment charge totaling approximately $31.2 million to write-down its remaining goodwill and intangible assets and Tallan recorded a fourth quarter impairment charge totaling approximately $23.4 million to write-down a portion of its goodwill and other intangible assets, as a result of the continued decline in operating and financial metrics. Additionally, AltaVista recorded impairment charges in fiscal 2002 totaling approximately $10.7 million related to its agreement to purchase certain equipment that it had previously leased under operating and capital lease agreements with HPFS, and certain leasehold improvements that were deemed impaired as a result of AltaVista’s renegotiation of a facility lease arrangement. The decrease in impairment charges in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to Activate, which was sold in September 2001, and the cessation of operations at 1stUp and ExchangePath. The decrease in impairment charges in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 within the Portal segment results primarily from impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets of MyWay, and to a lesser extent iCAST. The impairment charge recorded within the Other segment in fiscal 2002 of approximately $2.1 million was primarily due to the write-off of certain software capitalized in the development of software for internal use, computer equipment and furniture and fixtures at the Company’s headquarters. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the statement. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 is effective for the Company’s fiscal 2003 financial statements. As of July 31, 2002, the Company has not yet determined what effect these tests will have on its operations and financial position. The Company operates in a volatile business environment, and as a result, could have material impairment charges in future periods.

The Company’s restructuring initiatives during fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively, involved strategic decisions to exit certain businesses and to reposition certain on-going businesses of the Company. Restructuring charges consisted primarily of contract terminations, severance charges and equipment charges incurred as a result of the cessation of operations of certain subsidiaries and actions taken at several remaining subsidiaries to increase operational efficiencies, improve margins and further reduce expenses. Severance charges include employee termination costs as a result of workforce reductions. Employees affected by the restructuring were notified both through direct personal contact and by written notification. The contract terminations primarily consisted of costs to exit facility and equipment leases and to terminate bandwidth and other vendor contracts. The asset impairment charges primarily relate to the write-off of property and equipment. The decrease in restructuring charges in fiscal 2002 as compared to the prior fiscal year is primarily the result of restructuring charges in fiscal 2001 at NaviPath, AltaVista, ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, Adforce, and Engage. The net restructuring charges incurred during fiscal 2002 in the Enterprise Software and Services segment primarily related to charges of approximately $17.9 million at AltaVista and $11.2 million at Engage. The restructuring charge recorded by AltaVista primarily related to severance costs associated with a reduction in the workforce of

24


Table of Contents
approximately 120 employees, costs associated with the closing of its Irvine, California office location, the write-off of an information systems software package and the write-off of fixed assets as a result of AltaVista’s decision to shut-down its European data center, partially offset by an adjustment of a previously recorded restructuring charge of approximately $2.7 million for vacant space in a facility resulting from AltaVista’s decision to transition its business from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, AltaVista had recorded a restructuring charge for one year of rent related to space previously occupied by the portal division of its business. As a result of the renegotiation of its real estate lease, space that had been included in the original restructuring charge was forfeited, and Alta Vista recorded a restructuring charge for the net amount not previously recorded as a restructuring charge. Also, as part of the lease renegotiation, AltaVista transferred approximately 275,000 CMGI shares, that were held by AltaVista, to the landlord. The restructuring charge recorded by Engage was primarily due to the closing of its media operations and implementation of a restructuring plan designed to reduce its corporate overhead costs through reductions in the size of its finance and marketing staffs. The closing of the media business resulted in severance costs incurred in connection with the termination of approximately 232 employees and contract termination costs in connection with the costs to exit facility and equipment leases. The net restructuring benefit recorded during fiscal 2002 in the Managed Application Services segment primarily related to charges of approximately $4.1 million recorded by NaviPath, offset by a reversal of approximately $21.1 million of previously recorded restructuring charges at NaviPath. The restructuring charge recorded by NaviPath primarily related to severance costs and legal and other professional fees incurred in connection with the cessation of its operations. The restructuring benefit recorded by NaviPath related to the settlement by NaviPath of certain contractual purchase commitments, breakage fees and service contracts for amounts less than originally estimated. The net restructuring charge incurred in the Portals segment primarily related to charges of approximately $6.8 million at MyWay related to the write-off of property and equipment and the termination of customer and vendor contracts, partially offset by a reversal of approximately $1.4 million of previously recorded restructuring charges at MyWay. The restructuring benefit recorded by MyWay related to the favorable settlement of contractual obligations for amounts less than originally estimated. Additionally, iCast recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $0.8 million in fiscal 2002 related to exit cost associated with a facility lease, beyond what had been previously recorded as a restructuring charge. The net restructuring charges incurred in the Other segment of approximately $5.7 million primarily related to charges of approximately $6.2 million related to severance costs incurred in connection with the termination of approximately 70 employees at the Company’s corporate headquarters, the write-off of property and equipment and costs incurred to exit facility leases in Europe, partially offset by a restructuring benefit of approximately $0.5 million recorded by CMGI @Ventures related to the favorable negotiation of the termination of a real estate lease.
 
OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE:
 
There were no gains on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates during fiscal 2002. Gain on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates during fiscal 2001 primarily related to a pre-tax gain of approximately $125.9 million on the issuance of stock by Engage in its acquisitions of MediaBridge and Space Media Holdings Limited, partially offset by a pre-tax loss of approximately $5.0 million on the issuance of stock by Engage to employees as a result stock option exercises.
 
Other gains (losses), net decreased $340.6 million, or 83%, to $(68.5) million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 from $(409.1) million for the same period in fiscal 2001. Other gains (losses), net for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 primarily consisted of a pre-tax loss of approximately $27.5 million on the sale of Primedia, Inc. stock, a pre-tax loss of approximately $21.4 million resulting from the Company’s sale of its subsidiary Activate and a pre-tax loss of approximately $44.7 million related to impairment charges for other-than-temporary declines in the carrying value of certain investments in affiliates, offset by a pre-tax gain of approximately $53.9 million on the arrangement that hedged the Company’s investment in Yahoo! common stock which was settled during the twelve months ended July 31, 2002. Other gains (losses), net for the twelve months ended July 31, 2001 primarily consisted of a pre-tax gain of approximately $357.4 million on the sale of Lycos, Inc. common stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $135.3 million on the sale of Kana Communications,

25


Table of Contents
Inc. common stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $89.4 million on the hedging arrangement with respect to the Company’s investment in Yahoo! common stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $64.2 million on the sale of Terra Networks stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $70.9 million on the sale of Critical Path, Inc. common stock and a pre-tax gain of approximately $19.8 million on the sale of a real estate holding by AltaVista, partially offset by a pre-tax loss of approximately $358.9 million on the sale of Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited (PCCW) stock, a pre-tax loss of approximately $95.9 million on the sale of AltaVista’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Raging Bull, a pre-tax loss of approximately $310.9 million related to impairment charges taken on certain available-for-sale securities held by the Company, and by a pre-tax loss of approximately $187.5 million on the write-down of the carrying value of the Company’s restricted PCCW stock.
 
Interest income decreased $34.5 million to $16.8 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 from $51.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, reflecting decreased interest income associated with lower average cash and cash equivalent balances and lower interest rates in fiscal 2002.
 
Interest expense decreased $65.6 million to a net benefit of $19.3 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 from a net expense of $46.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, primarily due to a favorable fair market value adjustment of approximately $20.7 million related to the decrease in value of the obligation to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. In connection with the repurchase of the outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock in November 2001, the Company incurred an obligation to deliver approximately 448.3 million shares of its PCCW stock holdings to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock no later than December 2, 2002. As a result of this transaction, the Company is accounting for the 448.3 million shares of PCCW stock as a trading security and the liability related to the obligation to deliver the PCCW stock as a current note payable, both of which are carried at market value. Changes in the fair value of the PCCW stock and the note payable are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as other gains (losses), net and as adjustments to interest expense, respectively. The fair market value adjustment of the note payable through July 31, 2002 resulted in a $20.7 million decrease to interest expense, which was offset by a loss of $20.7 million on the fair value adjustment of the trading security which was included in other gains (losses), net. Additionally, the interest expense decreased from the fiscal 2001 payment in full of the $376.9 million principal balance on the notes issued in connection with the acquisition of Tallan, the settlement of the underlying debt associated with the borrowing arrangement entered into in connection with a hedge of the Company’s investment in Yahoo! common stock and the retirement of the $220 million notes payable to Compaq Computer Corporation, now Hewlett-Packard Company (HP), in November of 2001.
 
Equity in losses of affiliates resulted from the Company’s minority ownership in certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s proportionate share of each affiliate’s operating losses and amortization of the Company’s net excess investment over its equity in each affiliate’s net assets is included in equity in losses of affiliates. Equity in losses of affiliates decreased $30.3 million to $15.4 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002, from $45.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, primarily reflecting a decreased number of investments accounted for under the equity method compared to the same period last year. The Company expects its affiliate companies to continue to invest in the development of their products and services, and to recognize operating losses, which will result in future charges recorded by the Company to reflect its proportionate share of such losses.
 
Minority interest decreased to $44.3 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 from $493.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2001, primarily as a result of reduced losses at AltaVista and Engage. Minority interest for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 primarily reflects the minority interest in the net losses of Engage and AltaVista.
 
INCOME TAX BENEFIT:
 
Income tax benefit attributable to continuing operations recorded for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 was approximately $7.4 million. Income tax benefit for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 differs from the

26


Table of Contents
amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35 percent to pre-tax loss primarily as a result of non-deductible goodwill amortization and impairment charges, valuation allowances recognized on deferred tax assets, and utilization of net operating loss from fiscal year 2001 due to a change in the tax law. During the twelve months ended July 31, 2002, the Company recorded net tax benefit of approximately $7.4 million, primarily attributable to the tax expense related to the recognition of a valuation allowance to continuing operations due to the reduction in expected future taxable income related to unrealized gains in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”, net of tax benefit related to a change in the tax law, allowing for a portion of the fiscal year 2002 and 2001 net operating losses to be carried back up to five years against its U.S. federal taxable income reported in earlier years. The Company received $31.8 million in refunds during the fiscal year 2002.
 
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
On June 12, 2002 (the measurement date), CMGI’s board of directors authorized the divestiture of the Company’s equity and debt ownership interests in its subsidiary NaviSite. In September 2002, the Company completed the sale of NaviSite to ClearBlue. In consideration thereof, the Company received, among other things, 131,579 shares of common stock of ClearBlue. At the time of the sale, NaviSite comprised more than 90% of both the total assets and operating losses of the Managed Application Services segment. As a result of the transaction, the Company expects to record a net gain of between $4.0 million and $7.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. The estimated gain on the sale of NaviSite includes the results of operations from the measurement date through the date of disposal. The results of operations of NaviSite from the measurement date through July 31, 2002 have been deferred and reflected as deferred loss on disposal of subsidiary on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 31, 2002. Additionally, the historical operations of NaviSite have been reflected as loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and NaviSite’s net current assets and net long term assets (liabilities) have been reported as net current assets and net non-current assets (liabilities) of discontinued operations at July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to reflect the operations of NaviSite as discontinued operations.
 
EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of approximately $131.3 million, net of approximately $1.8 million in state taxes, related to the extinguishment of the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable to HP. As part of an agreement between the Company and HP, HP agreed to deem the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable, plus accrued interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for $75.0 million in cash, approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock and CMGI’s 49% ownership interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions LLC, of which HP had previously owned the remaining 51%. The gain was calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the notes payable plus accrued interest thereon, less the carrying value of the consideration exchanged.

The increase in net revenue in fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000 was largely a result of the full year impact of the acquisitions of uBid and Tallan in April 2000, and net revenue growth at NaviPath during fiscal year 2001. The increase in net revenue in fiscal year 2001 was partially offset by reduced net revenues at Engage and AltaVista, and the sale or closing of operations of several companies during fiscal year 2001. The decrease in net revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily the result of decreased net revenue at Engage and AltaVista, which was partially offset by increased net revenue as a result of the full year impact of the acquisition of Tallan in April 2000. The decrease in net revenue at Engage was attributable to a decline in the on-line advertising market, which was partially offset by Engage’s acquisition of MediaBridge during fiscal year 2001. Subsequent to July 31, 2001, Engage announced it had ceased its media business, which comprised approximately 16% and 28% of the Enterprise Software and Services segment net revenue for fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively, and would be focusing on interactive software and services. The decrease in net revenue at AltaVista was due to reduced net revenue from certain strategic deals renegotiated during fiscal year 2001, the softness in the on-line advertising market and certain changes in AltaVista’s business strategy from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. The increase in net revenue within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of uBid, partially offset by the sale of a majority interest in Signatures in February 2001 and decreased net revenue at SalesLink as a result of the decline in volume within SalesLink’s e-commerce and fulfillment and literature distribution lines of business. The decrease in net revenue at SalesLink was partially offset by the growth of net revenue within its supply chain management line of business. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”, and accordingly adjusted net revenue at uBid by $27.6 million and $7.6 million in fiscal year 2001 and 2000, respectively. These adjustments reduce both net revenue and cost of revenue and have no impact on operating loss. The increase in net revenue within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of increased net revenue from NaviPath and the full year impact of the acquisition of Activate, Inc. in November 1999. The increase in net revenue for NaviPath during fiscal year 2001 primarily related to the growth in the number of users and hours due to the expansion of its network coverage across the United States and Canada. Subsequent to July 31, 2001, the Company ceased funding the operations of NaviPath, which comprised approximately 66% and 57% of the net revenue in the Managed Application Services segment in fiscal year 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in net revenue within the Portals segment was primarily attributable to an increase in net revenue at MyWay during fiscal year 2001, as a result of growth in its customer base.

Cost of revenue consisted primarily of expenses related to the cost of products purchased for sale or distribution. Additionally, cost of revenue included expenses related to the content, connectivity and production associated with delivering the Company’s products and services. The increase in cost of revenue in fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000 was largely attributable to the full year impact of the acquisitions of uBid and Tallan in April 2000, and the costs associated with the expansion of network infrastructure at NaviPath. The

28


Table of Contents
increases in cost of revenue in fiscal year 2001 was partially offset by decreases in cost of revenue as a result of the implementation of the Company’s restructuring initiatives, which included the sale or closing of operations of several companies during fiscal year 2001, and actions taken at several of the remaining subsidiaries to increase operational efficiencies, improve margins and further reduce expenses. The Company’s cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue increased to approximately 89% in fiscal 2001 from approximately 80% in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the full year impact of companies acquired in fiscal year 2000, the decline in net revenue from on-line advertising and the increasing costs associated with the expansion of network infrastructure. The decrease in cost of revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily due to reduced cost of revenues for Engage and AltaVista, offset partially by increased cost of revenue from the full year impact of the acquisition of Tallan. The decease in Engage’s cost of revenue from the prior year was largely due to a reduction in headcount and reduced royalty expenses paid to Web publishers at Engage as a result of the restructuring initiatives implemented during fiscal year 2001, partially offset by the impact of the fiscal year 2001 acquisition of MediaBridge. The decrease in cost of revenue for AltaVista was primarily due to certain changes that AltaVista made to its business strategy in an effort to move from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the Enterprise Software and Services segment increased to approximately 61% in fiscal year 2001 from approximately 56% in fiscal year 2000. The year over year increase is primarily a result of a decline in net revenue from on-line advertising in excess of savings generated from the Company’s cost saving initiatives. The increase in cost of revenue within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily due to the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of uBid, partially offset by the sale of a majority interest in Signatures during fiscal year 2001. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment increased to approximately 89% for fiscal year 2001 from approximately 85% for fiscal year 2000 primarily due to the full year impact of the acquisition of uBid and a change in the mix of business at SalesLink from literature distribution services and e-commerce fulfillment to supply chain management. The increase in cost of revenue within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily due to increased costs to support the growth of the customer base and network usage at NaviPath during fiscal year 2001 and the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of Activate. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues within the Managed Application Services segment decreased to approximately 288% in fiscal year 2001 from 319% in fiscal year 2000 primarily due to improved gross margins at NaviPath as a result of net revenue increases in excess of the incremental costs associated with generating net revenues. The decrease in cost of revenue within the Portals segment was primarily due to the closing of operations at iCAST in January 2001 and changes to MyWay’s business strategy. The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased within the Portals segment to approximately 165% for fiscal year 2001 from approximately 222% for fiscal year 2000, primarily due to the closing of operations at iCAST and changes to MyWay’s business strategy that involved a transition to a common technology platform, which reduced MyWay’s cost of revenue.

Research and development expenses consisted primarily of personnel and related costs to design, develop, enhance, test and deploy the Company’s products and services either prior to the development effort reaching technological feasibility or once the product had reached the maintenance phase of its life cycle. The increase in research and development expenses in fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000 within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the acquisitions of AdKnowledge, Inc. (AdKnowledge), Flycast Communications Corporation (Flycast) and Yesmail during fiscal year 2000 and increased development efforts at Engage related to the further development of its software business. The increase in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the acquisition of Activate during fiscal year 2000, partially offset by a decrease in development efforts at NaviPath. The decrease in research and development expenses within the Portals segment was primarily the result of the closing of operations at iCAST in January 2001, and the closing of certain operations at MyWay in connection with their transition to a common technology platform.

Selling expenses consisted primarily of advertising and other general marketing related expenses, compensation and employee-related expenses, sales commissions, facilities costs, tradeshow expenses and travel costs. Certain costs related to fulfillment, including distribution and customer service center expenses for activities such as receiving goods and picking of goods for shipment within the Company’s eBusiness and Fulfillment segment are classified as selling expenses. Selling expenses decreased during fiscal year 2001 primarily due to a concerted effort by management to reduce sales and marketing expenses throughout the Company as part of its restructuring initiatives. The decrease in selling expenses within the Enterprise Software

and Services segment was primarily the result of a decrease in headcount and certain sales and marketing campaigns at AltaVista and Engage in connection with restructuring initiatives. The increase in selling expenses within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of uBid, partially offset by the sale of the Company’s majority interest in Signatures. The increase in selling expenses in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of Activate, partially offset by a decrease in selling expenses at NaviPath as a result of a reduction in headcount during fiscal year 2001. The decrease in selling expenses in the Portals segment was primarily the result of the closing of operations of iCAST and the closing of certain operations at MyWay in connection with their transition to a common technology platform. The increase in selling expenses within the Other segment was primarily the result of costs incurred to develop and produce certain corporate marketing and advertising programs during fiscal year 2001.

General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of compensation, facilities costs, bad debt and fees for professional services. The increase in general and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000 was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisitions, increased bad debt expense related to the downturn in the Internet industry and the building of infrastructure at the corporate level and at several of the Company’s subsidiaries, partially offset by the sale and closing of certain companies and restructuring initiatives taken at several of the remaining subsidiaries. The increase in general and administrative expenses within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisitions of AdKnowledge, Flycast, Tallan and Yesmail, the fiscal 2001 acquisition of MediaBridge and increased bad debt expense recorded by Engage, primarily related to its media business, during fiscal year 2001. The increase in general and administrative expenses within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the acquisition of uBid, partially offset by the sale of a majority interest in Signatures in fiscal year 2001. The increase in general and administrative expenses within in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of Activate, partially offset by the closing of operations at ExchangePath and 1stUp. The decrease in general and administrative expenses within the Portals segment was primarily the result of the closing of operations of iCAST and the closing of certain operations at MyWay in connection with their transition to a common technology platform. The increase in general and administrative expenses within the Other segment, which includes certain administrative functions such as legal, finance and business development which are not fully allocated to CMGI’s subsidiary companies, was primarily the result of the growth of CMGI’s corporate infrastructure, including higher personnel costs due to increased headcount, increased information technology costs associated with an upgrade of the Company’s information systems and increased professional fees and facilities costs.

Amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation consisted primarily of goodwill amortization expense related to acquisitions made during fiscal year 2000, and, to a lesser degree, acquisitions made in fiscal 2001. The intangible assets recorded as a result of these acquisitions are primarily being amortized over periods ranging from two to five years. Included within amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expenses was approximately $68.3 million and $84.1 million of stock-based compensation for fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in amortization expense in the Enterprise Software and Services segment is primarily the result of a full year of amortization in fiscal year 2001 related to the fiscal year 2000 acquisitions of AdKnowledge, Flycast, Tallan and Yesmail and the fiscal year 2001 acquisition of MediaBridge. This increase was partially offset by the effect of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets of AltaVista, Engage, Tallan and Yesmail, including $587.6 million recorded in the fourth quarter.
 
The increase in amortization expense in the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment primarily reflects a full year of amortization in fiscal year 2001 related to the acquisition of uBid. The decrease in amortization expense in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of the closing of operations at 1stUp and ExchangePath during fiscal year 2001, partially offset by a full year of amortization in fiscal year 2001 related to the Activate acquisition in fiscal year 2000. The increase in amortization expense in the Portals segment primarily reflects a full year of amortization in fiscal year 2001 related to the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of Zip2 Corporation (which was subsequently acquired by MyWay). The increase in amortization expense was partially offset by the effect of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets of MyWay, including $96.0 million recorded in the fourth quarter.

The Company records impairment charges as a result of management’s ongoing business review and impairment analysis performed under its existing policy regarding impairment of long-lived assets. Where impairment indicators were identified, management determined the amount of the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets to their fair value. Management determines fair value of

32


Table of Contents
goodwill and certain other intangible assets based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected future cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the company. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the company based on the relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the company in comparison to the guideline companies. Management predominately utilizes third-party valuation reports in its determination of fair value. As a result, during management’s ongoing review of the value and periods of amortization and depreciation of long-lived assets, it was determined that the carrying value of certain long-lived assets was not fully recoverable. The impairment charges recorded in the Enterprise Software and Services segment during fiscal year 2001 included the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at AltaVista of approximately $986.2 million, of which approximately $123.5 million was recorded in the fourth quarter, the write-down of goodwill and intangible assets at Engage related to its media and software businesses of approximately $925.3 million, of which approximately $384.4 million was recorded in the fourth quarter, the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $335.9 million as a result of the closing of operations at ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, AdForce, the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at Tallan of approximately $586.3 million, of which $75.5 million was recorded in the fourth quarter, and the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at Yesmail of approximately $355.4 million, of which approximately $4.2 million was recorded in the fourth quarter. The impairment charges recorded in the Managed Application Services segment during fiscal year 2001 primarily included the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at Activate of approximately $30.4 million and the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $22.7 million as a result of the closing of operations at 1stUp. The impairment charges recorded in the Portals segment primarily included the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at MyWay of approximately $104.8 million, of which approximately $96.0 million was recorded in the fourth quarter. The other intangible assets that were determined to be impaired within each segment primarily related to a significant reduction in the acquired customer base and turnover of workforce, which was in place at the time of the acquisitions. The impairment factors evaluated by management may change in subsequent periods, given that the Company operates in a volatile business environment. This could result in material impairment charges in future periods.

The Company’s restructuring initiatives during fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively, involved strategic decisions to exit certain businesses and to reposition certain on-going businesses of the Company. Restructuring charges consisted primarily of contract terminations, severance charges and equipment charges incurred as a result of the cessation of operations of certain subsidiaries and actions taken at several remaining subsidiaries to increase operational efficiencies, improve margins and further reduce expenses. Severance charges include employee termination costs as a result of a reduction in workforce of approximately 1,700 positions. Employees affected by the restructuring were notified both through direct personal contact and by written notification. The contract terminations primarily consisted of costs to exit facility and equipment leases and to terminate bandwidth and other vendor contracts. The asset impairment charges primarily relate to the write-off of property and equipment. The restructuring charges incurred in the Enterprise Software and Services segment during fiscal year 2001 primarily related to restructuring initiatives at AltaVista, Engage and ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary,

Table of Contents
AdForce. The AltaVista restructuring included workforce reductions of approximately 410 positions, the termination of a contract with a significant customer and the termination of other contracts by AltaVista in connection with the change in its business strategy. The Engage restructuring included workforce reductions of approximately 550 positions, the closing of several office locations, future lease commitments of Engage for associated servers, desktop computers and other telecommunications equipment and the write-off of fixed assets. The AdForce restructuring related to severance costs, the termination of several contracts and other exit costs related to the cessation of operations at AdForce. The restructuring charges incurred in the Managed Application Services segment during fiscal year 2001 primarily related to severance costs, the termination of several contracts, the write-off of fixed assets and other exit costs at NaviPath, 1stUp and ExchangePath in connection with the closing of their respective operations. The restructuring charges incurred in the Portals segment during fiscal year 2001 primarily consisted of costs associated with the closing of certain operations at MyWay in connection with their transition to a common technology platform, and the closing of operations at iCAST. The restructuring charges in the Other segment primarily related to severance costs and future lease commitments of the Company’s European corporate operations and CMGI@Ventures.
 
OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE:
 
Gain on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates increased $41.4 million, or 52%, to $121.8 million for fiscal year 2001 from $80.4 million for fiscal year 2000. Gain on the issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates for fiscal year 2001 primarily relates to a pre-tax gain of approximately $125.9 million on the issuance of stock by Engage in its acquisitions of MediaBridge and Space Media Holdings Limited (Space) partially offset by a pre-tax loss of approximately $5.0 million on the issuance of stock by Engage to employees as a result of stock option exercises. Gain on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates for fiscal year 2000 primarily reflects the pre-tax gain of $51.9 million on the issuance of common stock by NaviSite in connection with its initial public offering.
 
Other gains (losses), net decreased $934.4 million, or 178%, to ($409.1) million for fiscal year 2001 from $525.3 million for fiscal year 2000. Other gains (losses), net for fiscal year 2001 primarily consisted of a pre-tax loss of approximately $358.9 million on the sale of Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited (PCCW) stock, a pre-tax loss of approximately $310.9 million related to the impairment charges taken on certain available-for-sale securities held by the Company, a pre-tax loss of approximately $187.5 million on the write-down of the carrying value of the Company’s restricted PCCW stock, a pre-tax loss of approximately $148.9 related to the write-down of the carrying value of certain CMGI @Ventures investments held by the Company, a pre-tax loss of approximately $95.9 million on the sale of AltaVista’s subsidiary, Raging Bull, Inc. (Raging Bull), and a pre-tax loss of approximately $18.5 million on the sale of the Company’s majority interest in Signatures, partially offset by a pre-tax gain of approximately $357.4 million on the sale of Lycos, Inc. (Lycos) stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $135.3 million on the sale of Kana Communications, Inc. (Kana) stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $89.4 million on the hedging arrangement with respect to the Company’s investment in Yahoo!, Inc. (Yahoo!) stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $64.2 million on the sale of Terra Networks, S.A. (Terra Networks) stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $70.9 million on the sale of Critical Path, Inc. (Critical Path) stock and a pre-tax gain of approximately $19.8 million on the sale of a real estate holding by AltaVista. Other gains (losses), net for fiscal year 2000 primarily consisted of a pre-tax gain of approximately $499.5 million on the sale of Yahoo! stock and a pre-tax gain of approximately $53.6 million on the acquisition of Half.com, Inc. (Half.com) by eBay, Inc. (eBay), partially offset by a pre-tax loss of approximately $35.0 million on the write-down of the carrying value of an available-for-sale security.
 
Interest income increased $11.8 million to $51.3 million for fiscal year 2001 from $39.5 million for fiscal year 2000, reflecting increased interest income associated with higher cash and cash equivalent balances, partially offset by lower interest rates. Interest expense decreased $9.4 million to $46.3 million for fiscal year 2001 from $55.7 million for fiscal year 2000, primarily due to the payment in full of the principal on the notes

issued in connection with the acquisition of Tallan in fiscal year 2001 and due to the settlement of a portion of the underlying debt associated with the borrowing arrangement entered into in connection with a hedge of the Company’s investment in Yahoo! stock.
 
Equity in losses of affiliates resulted from the Company’s minority ownership in certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s proportionate share of each affiliate’s operating losses and amortization of the Company’s net excess investment over its equity in each affiliate’s net assets is included in equity in losses of affiliates. Equity in losses of affiliates decreased $6.2 million to $45.7 million for fiscal year 2001, from $51.9 million for fiscal year 2000, primarily reflecting the effect of the sale of the Company’s investment in Half.com to eBay and the effect of the impairment charges taken during fiscal year 2000, partially offset by an increase due to the Company’s investment in B2E Solutions, LLC. The Company expects its affiliate companies to continue to invest in the development of their products and services, and to recognize operating losses, which will result in future charges recorded by the Company to reflect its proportionate share of such losses.
 
Minority interest, net increased to $493.8 million for fiscal year 2001 from $149.8 million for fiscal year 2000, primarily reflecting minority interest in net losses of six subsidiaries during fiscal year 2001, including AltaVista, Engage, MyWay, ProvisionSoft, NaviPath and Tallan. The increase is primarily related to an increase in the net losses reported by Engage and AltaVista due to substantial amortization, impairment and restructuring charges recorded during fiscal year 2001.
 
INCOME TAX BENEFIT:
 
Income tax benefit recorded for fiscal year 2001 was approximately $184.4 million and the Company’s effective tax rates for fiscal 2001 and 2000 were 3% and 8%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35 percent to pre-tax loss primarily as a result of non-deductible goodwill amortization and impairment charges, state taxes and valuation allowances recognized on deferred tax assets. During the year ended July 31, 2001, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets not expected to be utilized as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in future years. Prior to fiscal 2001, the Company had recorded valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets only with respect to majority owned subsidiaries not included in the Company’s federal consolidated tax return group. The increase in the valuation allowance resulted in additional tax expense of approximately $89.0 million for the year ended July 31, 2001.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Working capital at July 31, 2002 decreased to approximately $203.9 million compared to $581.3 million at July 31, 2001. The net decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to a $431.3 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, a $99.8 million decrease in available-for-sale securities and a $39.1 million decrease in accounts receivable. The Company’s principal sources of capital during the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 were from the sales of approximately 7.1 million shares of Primedia, Inc. common stock for proceeds of approximately $15.9 million, the net maturities of other available-for-sale securities investments for proceeds of approximately $4.9 million, and from federal income tax refunds of approximately $31.8 million. The Company’s principal uses of capital during the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 were $259.4 million for funding operations, $100.3 million for the retirement of the Series C Preferred Stock, $75.0 million for the retirement of notes payable to HP and $31.8 million for purchases of property and equipment.
 
On August 1, 2001, the Company settled the final tranche of the borrowing arrangement that hedged the Company’s investment in the common stock of Yahoo! through the delivery of 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock.
 
On August 18, 2001, the Company issued approximately 5.4 million shares of its common stock to HP as a semi-annual interest payment of approximately $11.5 million related to notes payable issued to HP in the acquisition of AltaVista.

In September 2001, the Company received a federal income tax refund of approximately $14.0 million as a result of overpayment of the prior year’s estimated tax payments.
 
On October 29, 2001, the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, AltaVista and NaviSite entered into agreements with HP, a significant stockholder of CMGI, and HP’s wholly owned subsidiary, HPFS. Under certain terms of these agreements NaviSite purchased and recorded equipment from HPFS effective August 1, 2001, previously leased by NaviSite under operating lease agreements expiring through 2003, in exchange for a note payable of approximately $35.0 million. The $35.0 million due to HPFS was executed in the form of a convertible note payable to HPFS in the total amount of $55.0 million on November 8, 2001, as described below. As of July 31, 2002, the $55.0 million note due to HPFS, net of amounts allocated to beneficial conversion features, has been classified a component of net non-current assets (liabilities) of discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, under the terms of these agreements, AltaVista agreed to purchase certain equipment, which it had previously leased from HPFS under operating and capital lease agreements, in exchange for a cash payment of $20.0 million. In November 2001, AltaVista completed and recorded the purchase of this equipment.
 
On November 8, 2001, as part of the agreement with HPFS, NaviSite received $20.0 million in cash from HPFS in exchange for a six-year, convertible note payable. This note, which also relates to the $35.0 million equipment purchase described above, bears interest at 12% and requires payment of interest only for the first three years from the date of issuance. A portion of the interest payable to HPFS in the first two years may be paid in NaviSite common stock. Principal and interest payments are due on a straight-line basis commencing in year four until maturity on the sixth anniversary from the issuance date. The convertible note payable is secured by substantially all assets of NaviSite and cannot be prepaid. The principal balance may be converted into NaviSite common stock at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity at a conversion rate of $0.26 per share. As of July 31, 2002, NaviSite’s cash balance has been classified as a component of net current assets of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and NaviSite’s note due to HPFS, net of amounts allocated to beneficial conversion features, has been classified a component of net non-current assets (liabilities) of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a result of the Company’s sale of all of its equity and debt ownership interests in NaviSite to ClearBlue on September 11, 2002.
 
Also, on November 8, 2001, as part of this agreement, HP agreed to deem the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable, plus the accrued interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for $75.0 million in cash, approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock and CMGI’s 49% ownership interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions, LLC.
 
In November 2001, the Company consummated the repurchase of all the outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to privately negotiated stock exchange agreements with the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. In connection therewith, the Company announced the retirement of the Series C Preferred Stock effective immediately. Under this agreement, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock for aggregate consideration consisting of approximately $100.3 million in cash, approximately 34.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock, and an obligation to deliver, no later than December 2, 2002, approximately 448.3 million shares of PCCW stock. In addition, due to the delayed delivery obligation with respect to the PCCW shares, the Company agreed to make cash payments to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, on the dates and in the aggregate amounts as follows: approximately $3.7 million on February 9, 2002, approximately $3.5 million on May 17, 2002, approximately $3.8 million on August 19, 2002, approximately $3.7 million on November 19, 2002 and approximately $0.5 million on December 2, 2002. The obligation to make payments ceases upon delivery of the PCCW shares and any payment due for the period during which the PCCW shares are delivered to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will be reduced on a pro rata basis. The Company made the cash payments due on February 19, 2002 and May 17, 2002 as scheduled. Also, subsequent to year end the Company made the August 19, 2002 cash payment of approximately $3.8 million as scheduled.

In January 2002, the Company purchased approximately $15.0 million of commercial paper. These investments had original maturity dates greater than 90 days at acquisition and therefore were classified as marketable securities at the time of purchase. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the $15.0 million of commercial paper matured, and was included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance at July 31, 2002.
 
In July 2002, the Company received a cash refund of approximately $17.8 million as a result of a change in tax law that allowed the Company to carry back a portion of its fiscal year 2001 net operating loss up to five years against taxable income reported in earlier years.
 
On July 11, 2002, following approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court and the administrator in The Netherlands, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary SL Supply Chain, acquired substantially all of the worldwide assets and operations of iLogistix, a provider of a comprehensive suite of traditional and e-commerce supply chain management services, for approximately $44.3 million.
 
Also, subsequent to year end, on September 9, 2002, the Company divested all of its equity and debt ownership interests in Engage. Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, CMGI transferred to Engage approximately 148.4 million shares of common stock of Engage held by CMGI, representing approximately 76% of the issued and outstanding shares of Engage, and cancelled approximately $60 million of debt, including all convertible debt, owed to CMGI by Engage. In consideration of the equity transfer and debt cancellation, Engage, among other things, (i) paid to CMGI $2.5 million in cash, (ii) agreed to pay to CMGI up to an additional $6.0 million, comprised of a senior secured promissory note due in September 2006 and earnout payments commencing in fiscal year 2004, and (iii) issued to CMGI a warrant for the purchase of up to 9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Engage Common Stock, at an exercise price of $.048 per share.
 
On October 17, 2002, the Company sold all of its equity ownership interests in Equilibrium, to a group (the “Buyer”) led by the current management of Equilibrium. Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, CMGI sold to the Buyer 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Equilibrium. In consideration thereof, CMGI received, among other things, (i) a senior secured promissory note due in October 2005 in the principal amount of $1.5 million made by the Buyer, (ii) a warrant for the purchase of 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Equilibrium Common Stock, at an exercise price of $.01 per share, and (iii) a royalty-free perpetual worldwide license to Equilibrium’s MediaRich software.
 
The Company believes that existing working capital and the availability of marketable securities, which could be sold or posted as collateral for cash loans, will be sufficient to fund its operations, investments and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. Should additional capital be needed to fund future investment and acquisition activity, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through the selective sale of investments or minority interests in certain subsidiaries, through public or private offerings of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ stock, or through debt financing. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on terms that are favorable to the Company, or at all.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents
 
The Company has identified the accounting policies below as the policies most critical to its business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Our critical accounting policies are as follows:
 
 
 
Revenue recognition
 
 
 
Accounting for impairment of long-lived assets
 
 
 
Restructuring expenses
 
 
 
Accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns
 
 
 
Loss Contingencies
 
 
 
Excess and obsolete inventory
 
Revenue recognition.    The Company derives its revenue from three primary sources: (i) sale of products, both merchandise and software licenses; (ii) services and support revenue, which includes software maintenance and hosting services; and (iii) the delivery of advertising impressions and e-mail based direct marketing. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. For most of its transactions, the Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 Revenue Recognition. However, revenue from sales of software is recognized in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Arrangements.
 
Revenue from sales of merchandise is recognized upon shipment of the merchandise and verification of the customer’s credit card authorization or receipt of cash. All shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized as revenue and related costs as costs of revenue when incurred, as long as the Company takes title to the products or assumes the risks and rewards of ownership.
 
Revenue from software product licenses, database services and website traffic audit reports are generally recognized when (i) a signed non-cancelable software license exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the Company’s fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection is probable.
 
Revenue from software maintenance is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of each maintenance agreement, typically twelve months. Revenue from professional services is recognized as the services are performed, collection is probable and such revenues are contractually nonrefundable. Revenue from multiple element arrangements involving products, services and support elements is recognized in accordance with SOP 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Arrangements, when vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for the delivered element. As required by SOP 98-9, under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements are deferred and subsequently recognized. The Company establishes sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for services and support elements based on the price charged when these elements are sold separately. Accordingly, software license revenue for products developed is recognized under the residual method in arrangements in which the software is sold with one or both of the other elements. Revenue from license agreements that require significant customizations and modifications to the software product is deferred and recognized using the percentage of completion method. For license arrangements involving customizations for which the amount of customization effort cannot be reasonably estimated or when license arrangements provide for customer acceptance, we recognize revenue under the completed contract method of accounting.
 
The Company’s advertising revenue is derived primarily from the delivery of advertising impressions through its own or third-party Web sites. Revenue is recognized in the period that the advertising impressions are

38


Table of Contents
delivered, provided the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Revenue from e-mail based direct marketing is recognized upon delivery of the e-mail to the target audience that represents substantial completion of the contract obligation.
 
Substantially all media and media management revenue is recognized on a gross basis and amounts paid to websites where advertisements appear are recorded as cost of revenue. Revenue is generally recognized gross of the related website expense in arrangements in which the Company acts as the principal in the transaction. Revenue is recognized net of the related Web site expense in arrangements in which the Company primarily acts as a sales agent.
 
Revenue from server hosting, systems administration, application rentals and Web site management services is generally billed and recognized over the term of the contract based on actual usage. Amounts billed prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are classified as deferred revenue.
 
Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.    The Company’s management performs on-going business reviews and, based on quantitative and qualitative measures, assesses the need to record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when impairment indicators are present. Where impairment indicators are identified, management determines the amount of the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to their fair value. Management determines fair value based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected future cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the company being evaluated. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the company based on the relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the company in comparison to the guideline companies. Management predominately utilizes third-party valuation reports in its determination of fair value. The impairment policy is consistently applied in evaluating impairment for each of the Company’s wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and investments. It is reasonably possible that the impairment factors evaluated by management will change in subsequent periods, given that the Company operates in a volatile business environment. This could result in material impairment charges in future periods.
 
Restructuring Expenses.    The Company assesses the need to record restructuring charges in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (EITF 94-3), EITF 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination” and Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 100, “Restructuring and Impairment Charges.” In accordance with this guidance, management must execute an exit plan that will result in the incurrence of costs that have no future economic benefit. Also under the terms of EITF 94-3 a liability for the restructuring charges is recognized in the period management approves the restructuring plan. The Company recorded a liability that primarily includes the estimated severance and other costs related to employee benefits and certain estimated costs to exit equipment and facility lease obligations, bandwidth agreements and other service contracts. These estimates are based on the remaining amounts due under various contractual agreements, adjusted for any anticipated contract cancellation penalty fees or any anticipated or unanticipated event or changes in circumstances that would reduce these obligations.
 
Accounting for the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales returns.    The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to us could be adversely affected. A reserve for sales returns is established based on historical trends in product returns. If the actual or future returns do not reflect the historical data, our net revenue could be affected.
 
Loss Contingencies.    The Company is subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company considers the likelihood of the loss or impairment of an asset or the

39


Table of Contents
incurrence of a liability as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates the current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.
 
Excess and Obsolete Inventory.    The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Such adjustments are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the inventory.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 will apply to all business combinations that the Company enters into after June 30, 2001, and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new statements, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
 
The Company is required to adopt these statements for accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. Upon adoption, the Company will perform the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets under SFAS No. 142. As of July 31, 2002, the Company has not yet determined what effect these tests will have on its operations and financial position.
 
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, SFAS No. 141 will require the Company to evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in prior purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. Accordingly, the Company will be required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all identifiable intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments. In addition, to the extent an intangible asset is then determined to have an indefinite useful life, the Company will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
 
SFAS No. 142 will require the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this the Company must identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. The Company will then have up to six months from the date of adoption to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. To the extent a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, the Company must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS No. 141, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss for goodwill will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement addresses the accounting treatment for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The provisions of the statement apply to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of a long-lived asset. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has not completed its analysis of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 143, but does not expect this statement to have a material impact on its operations or financial position.
 
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Impairment on Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, the criteria required for classifying an asset as held-for-sale have been significantly changed. Assets held-for-sale are stated at the lower of their fair values or carrying amounts, and depreciation is no longer recognized. In addition, the expected future operating losses from discontinued operations will be displayed in discontinued operations in the period in which the losses are incurred rather than as of the measurement date. More dispositions will qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the statement of operations under the new rules. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 144 to its consolidated financial statements.
 
In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued as interpretive guidance Topic No. D-103, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred” (“Topic D-103”). Topic D-103 requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenue on the statement of operations and was adopted by the Company at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2002. This change in revenue classification impacts the Company’s Enterprise Software and Services segment, resulting in an increase in both net revenue and cost of revenue of approximately $6.2 million for fiscal year 2001. There was no impact on operating loss for any prior periods. Comparative financial statements for prior periods were reclassified to comply with this interpretive guidance.
 
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections effective for financial statements issued after May 15, 2002. The standard rescinds Statement 4 which required all gains and loses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, when material, classified as an extraordinary item net of related income tax effect. CMGI does not expect this Statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The standard requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. The provisions of this Statement are required to be applied to exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 146 to its consolidated financial statements.

The Company leases facilities and certain machinery and equipment under non-cancelable capital lease arrangements, which are not included in the table above. The present value of net minimum capital lease obligations is $1.8 million and $23.6 million as of July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
Total rent and equipment lease expense charged to continuing operations was approximately $41.0 million, $108.4 million, and $60.5 million for the years ended July 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
 
In August 2000, the Company announced it had acquired the exclusive naming and sponsorship rights to the New England Patriots’ new stadium, for a period of fifteen years. Under the terms of the original sponsorship agreement, the Company was scheduled to pay $7.6 million per year for the first ten years, with consumer price index adjustments for years eleven through fifteen, in return for the naming and sponsorship rights. In August 2002, the Company agreed with the owner of the stadium to amend the sponsorship agreement. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company relinquished the stadium naming rights and retained more limited marketing rights in exchange for a series of annual payments of $1.6 million per year beginning in 2003 and ending in 2015.
 
From time to time the Company provides guarantees of payment to vendors doing business with certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. These guarantees require that in the event that the CMGI subsidiary company cannot satisfy its obligations with certain of its vendors, the Company will be required to settle the obligation. As of July 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had outstanding guarantees of subsidiary indebtedness totaling $15.2 million and $20.7 million, respectively.
 
Other contractual obligations primarily consist of an agreement between AltaVista and DoubleClick, Inc. (DoubleClick). Under this agreement, AltaVista is contractually obligated to use a portion of DoubleClick’s ad-serving technology through December 31, 2004. AltaVista estimates its remaining contractual obligation to DoubleClick from the period August 1, 2002 through December 31, 2004 will not exceed $3.3 million.
 
Factors That May Affect Future Results
 
The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. Forward-looking statements in this document and those made from time to

42


Table of Contents
time by the Company through its senior management are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements concerning the expected future revenues or earnings or concerning projected plans, performance, product development, product release or product shipment, as well as other estimates related to future operations are necessarily only estimates of future results and there can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. Forward-looking statements represent management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. CMGI does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from results anticipated in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
CMGI may not be profitable in the future.
 
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002, CMGI had an operating loss of approximately $591 million. CMGI anticipates that it will continue to incur significant operating expenses in the future, including significant costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative and amortization, impairment and restructuring expenses. CMGI also has significant commitments and contingencies, including with respect to real estate, machinery and equipment leases, continuing stadium sponsorship obligations, and guarantees entered into by CMGI on behalf of itself and its operating companies. As a result, CMGI expects to continue to incur significant operating expenses and can give no assurance that it will achieve profitability or be capable of sustaining profitable operations. At July 31, 2002, CMGI had a consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $257.2 million. Total cash and cash equivalents usage was approximately $43.8 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. If CMGI is unable to reach and sustain profitability, it risks depleting its working capital balances and its business will be materially adversely affected.
 
CMGI may have problems raising money it needs in the future.
 
CMGI from time to time seeks opportunities to provide capital to support CMGI’s growth through the selective sale of investments or minority interests in subsidiaries or affiliates to outside investors. In recent years, CMGI has generally financed its operations with proceeds from selling shares of stock of companies in which CMGI had invested directly or through its @Ventures venture capital affiliates. The aggregate holdings and market value of the shares of stock held by CMGI has declined significantly over the past two plus years, due to market conditions and continued sales. Market and other conditions largely beyond CMGI’s control may affect its future ability to engage in such sales, the timing of any such sales, and the amount of proceeds therefrom. Even if CMGI is able to sell any such securities in the future, CMGI may not be able to sell at favorable prices or on favorable terms. In addition, this funding source may not be sufficient in the future, and CMGI may need to obtain funding from outside sources. However, CMGI may not be able to obtain funding from outside sources. In addition, even if CMGI finds outside funding sources, CMGI may be required to issue to such outside sources securities with greater rights than those currently possessed by holders of CMGI’s common stock. CMGI may also be required to take other actions, which may lessen the value of its common stock or dilute its common stockholders, including borrowing money on terms that are not favorable to CMGI or issuing additional shares of common stock. If CMGI experiences difficulties raising money in the future, its business will be materially adversely affected.
 
CMGI derives a significant portion of its revenue from a small number of customers and the loss of any of those customers could significantly damage CMGI’s business.
 
A limited number of customers account for a substantial portion of CMGI’s consolidated net revenue and the loss of any one or more of these customers could cause its revenue to decline below expectations. On July 11, 2002, CMGI acquired the assets of iLogistix, through its wholly owned subsidiary, SL Supply Chain. Nearly all of the revenues of SL Supply Chain are accounted for by sales to Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft. CMGI currently does not have any agreements which obligate either customer to buy a minimum amount of products or services from CMGI or to designate CMGI as its sole supplier of any particular products or services. The loss of

43


Table of Contents
a significant amount of business with Hewlett-Packard or Microsoft, or any other key customer, would have a material adverse effect on CMGI. CMGI believes that it will continue to derive a significant portion of its operating revenue from sales to a small number of customers. There can be no assurance that CMGI’s revenue from key customers will not decline in future periods.
 
CMGI and its operating companies depend on third-party software, systems and services.
 
CMGI and its operating companies rely on products and services of third-party providers in their business operations. For example, uBid’s business relies on order management software and information systems provided by Oracle and other third parties, as well as on Microsoft.NET enterprise servers to run its auction website. There can be no assurance that CMGI or its operating companies will not experience operational problems attributable to the installation, implementation, integration, performance, features or functionality of such third-party software, systems and services. Any interruption in the availability or usage of the products and services provided by third parties could have a material adverse effect on the business or operations of CMGI or its operating companies.
 
If the market for supply chain management services declines, the demand for CMGI’s services and its financial results could suffer.
 
CMGI derives a substantial portion of its revenue from providing supply chain management services. CMGI’s business and future growth will depend in large part on the industry trend towards outsourcing supply chain management and other business processes. If this trend does not continue or declines, demand for CMGI’s supply chain management services would decline and its financial results could suffer.
 
A decline in the technology sector could reduce CMGI’s revenue.
 
A large portion of CMGI’s supply chain management revenue comes from clients in the technology sector which is intensely competitive and highly volatile. A decline in the overall performance of the technology sector could adversely affect the demand for the supply chain management services and reduce CMGI’s revenues from such clients.
 
CMGI depends on certain important employees, and the loss of any of those employees may harm CMGI’s business.
 
CMGI’s performance is substantially dependent on the performance of its executive officers and other key employees, as well as management of its operating companies. The familiarity of these individuals with the Internet and supply chain management industries makes them especially critical to CMGI’s success. In addition, CMGI’s success is dependent on its ability to attract, train, retain and motivate high quality personnel, especially for its operating companies management teams. The loss of the services of any of CMGI’s executive officers or key employees may harm its business. CMGI’s success also depends on its continuing ability to attract, train, retain and motivate other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense.
 
There may be conflicts of interest among CMGI, CMGI’s subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors and stockholders.
 
Some of CMGI’s officers and directors also serve as officers or directors of one or more of CMGI’s subsidiaries. In addition, David S. Wetherell, CMGI’s Chairman of the Board, has significant compensatory interests in certain of CMGI’s @Ventures venture capital affiliates. As a result, CMGI, CMGI’s officers and directors, and CMGI’s subsidiaries and venture capital affiliates may face potential conflicts of interest with each other and with stockholders. Specifically, CMGI’s officers and directors may be presented with situations in their

44


Table of Contents
capacity as officers, directors or management of one of CMGI’s subsidiaries and venture capital affiliates that conflict with their fiduciary obligations as officers or directors of CMGI or of another subsidiary or affiliate.
 
CMGI’s strategy of expanding its business through acquisitions of other businesses and technologies presents special risks.
 
CMGI intends to continue to expand its business in certain areas through the acquisition of businesses, technologies, products and services from other businesses. Acquisitions involve a number of special problems, including:
 
 
 
difficulty integrating acquired technologies, operations and personnel with the existing businesses;
 
 
 
diversion of management attention in connection with both negotiating the acquisitions and integrating the assets;
 
 
 
strain on managerial and operational resources as management tries to oversee larger operations;
 
 
 
the funding requirements for acquired companies may be significant;
 
 
 
exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies;
 
 
 
increased risk of costly and time-consuming litigation, including stockholder lawsuits;
 
 
 
potential issuance of securities in connection with an acquisition with rights that are superior to the rights of holders of CMGI’s common stock, or which may have a dilutive effect on the common stockholders;
 
 
 
the need to incur additional debt or use cash; and
 
 
 
the requirement to record potentially significant additional future operating costs for the amortization of intangible assets.
 
CMGI may not be able to successfully address these problems. Moreover, CMGI’s future operating results will depend to a significant degree on its ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and manage operations while also controlling expenses and cash burn. In addition, many of CMGI’s investments are in early-stage companies with limited operating histories and limited or no revenues. CMGI may not continue to fund or successfully develop these young companies to profitability.
 
CMGI must develop and maintain positive brand name awareness.
 
CMGI believes that establishing and maintaining its brand name and the brand names of its operating companies is essential to expanding its business and attracting new customers. CMGI also believes that the importance of brand name recognition will increase in the future as Internet companies continue to differentiate themselves. Promotion and enhancement of CMGI’s brand names will depend largely on its ability to provide consistently high-quality products and services. If CMGI is unable to provide high-quality products and services, the value of its brand names will suffer and CMGI’s business prospects may be adversely affected.
 
CMGI’s quarterly results may fluctuate significantly.
 
CMGI’s operating results have fluctuated widely on a quarterly basis during the last several years, and it expects to experience significant fluctuations in future quarterly operating results. Many factors, some of which are beyond CMGI’s control, have contributed to these quarterly fluctuations in the past and may continue to do so. Such factors include:
 
 
 
demand for its products and services;
 
 
 
payment of costs associated with its acquisitions, sales of assets and investments;
 

45


Table of Contents
 
 
timing of sales of assets and marketable securities;
 
 
 
market acceptance of new products and services;
 
 
 
seasonality, especially in the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment;
 
 
 
charges for impairment of long-lived assets in future periods;
 
 
 
potential restructuring charges in connection with CMGI’s continuing restructuring efforts;
 
 
 
specific economic conditions in the industries in which CMGI competes; and
 
 
 
general economic conditions.
 
The emerging nature of the commercial uses of the Internet makes predictions concerning CMGI’s future revenues difficult. CMGI believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations will not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicative of its future performance. It is also possible that in some fiscal quarters, CMGI’s operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such circumstances, the price of CMGI’s common stock may decline.
 
The price of CMGI’s common stock has been volatile and may fluctuate based on the value of its assets.
 
The market price of CMGI’s common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile, experiencing wide fluctuations. In recent years, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly impacted the market prices of equity securities of many companies providing Internet-related products and services. Some of these fluctuations appear to be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. Future market movements may adversely affect the market price of CMGI’s common stock. In addition, should the market price of CMGI’s common stock remain below $1.00 per share for an extended period, it risks Nasdaq delisting, which would have an adverse effect on CMGI’s business. In order to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, CMGI may consider several strategies, including without limitation a reverse stock split.
 
In addition, a portion of CMGI’s assets includes the equity securities of both publicly traded and privately held companies. The market price and valuations of the securities that CMGI holds may fluctuate due to market conditions and other conditions over which CMGI has no control. Fluctuations in the market price and valuations of the securities that CMGI holds in other companies may result in fluctuations of the market price of CMGI’s common stock and may reduce the amount of working capital available to CMGI. Finally, CMGI is obligated to deliver, no later than December 2, 2002, approximately 448 million shares of Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited to the former holders of CMGI’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
CMGI relies on NaviSite for Web site hosting.
 
On September 11, 2002, CMGI sold all of its equity and debt ownership interests in NaviSite to ClearBlue Technologies, Inc. CMGI and certain of its operating companies rely on NaviSite for network connectivity and hosting of servers. If NaviSite fails to perform such services, CMGI’s internal business operations may be interrupted, and the ability of CMGI’s operating companies to provide services to customers may also be interrupted. Such interruptions may have an adverse impact on CMGI’s business and revenues and its operating companies.

The success of CMGI and its operating companies depends greatly on increased use of the Internet by businesses and individuals.
 
The success of CMGI and its operating companies depends greatly on increased use of the Internet for e-commerce transactions, advertising, marketing, providing services and conducting business. Commercial use of the Internet is currently at an early stage of development and the future of the Internet is not clear. In addition, it is not clear how effective Internet advertising is or will be, or how successful Internet-based sales will be. The businesses of CMGI’s operating companies will suffer if commercial use of the Internet fails to grow in the future.
 
CMGI’s operating companies are subject to intense competition.
 
The markets for the products and services of CMGI’s operating companies are highly competitive and often lack significant barriers to entry, enabling new businesses to enter these markets relatively easily. Competition in the markets for Internet products and services may intensify in the future. Numerous well-established companies and smaller entrepreneurial companies are focusing significant resources on developing and marketing products and services that will compete with the products and services of CMGI’s operating companies. The market for supply chain management products and services is very competitive, and the intensity of the competition is expected to continue to increase. Any failure to maintain and enhance the competitive position of CMGI’s supply chain management operating companies will limit its ability to maintain and increase market share, which would result in serious harm to CMGI’s business. Increased competition may also result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share. In addition, many of the current and potential competitors of CMGI’s operating companies have greater financial, technical, operational and marketing resources than those of CMGI’s operating companies. CMGI’s operating companies may not be able to compete successfully against these competitors. Competitive pressures may also force prices for Internet and supply chain management products and services down and such price reductions may reduce the revenues of CMGI’s operating companies.
 
If the United States or other governments regulate the Internet more closely, the businesses of CMGI’s operating companies may be harmed.
 
Because of the Internet’s popularity and increasing use, new laws and regulations may be adopted. These laws and regulations may cover issues such as privacy, pricing, taxation, advertising methods and content. The enactment of any additional laws or regulations may impede the growth of the Internet and the Internet-related business of CMGI’s operating companies and could place additional financial burdens on their businesses.
 
To succeed, CMGI’s operating companies must respond to the rapid changes in technology and distribution channels related to the Internet.
 
The markets for the Internet and technology products and services of CMGI’s operating companies are characterized by:
 
 
 
rapidly changing technology;
 
 
 
evolving industry standards;
 
 
 
frequent new product and service introductions;
 
 
 
shifting distribution channels; and
 
 
 
changing customer demands.
 
The success of CMGI’s operating companies will depend on their ability to adapt to this rapidly evolving marketplace. They may not be able to adequately adapt their products and services or to acquire new products and services that can compete successfully. In addition, CMGI’s operating companies may not be able to establish and maintain effective distribution channels.

CMGI’s operating companies face security risks.
 
Consumer concerns about the security of transmissions of confidential information over public telecommunications facilities is a significant barrier to e-commerce and communications on the Internet. Many factors may cause compromises or breaches of the security systems that CMGI’s operating companies or other Internet sites use to protect proprietary information, including advances in computer and software functionality or new discoveries in the field of cryptography. A significant compromise of security on the Internet would have a negative effect on the use of the Internet for commerce and communications and negatively impact CMGI’s operating companies. Security breaches of their activities or the activities of their customers and sponsors involving the storage and transmission of proprietary information, such as credit card numbers, may expose CMGI’s operating companies to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. CMGI cannot assure that the security measures of CMGI’s operating companies will prevent security breaches.
 
The success of the global operations of CMGI’s operating companies is subject to special risks and costs.
 
CMGI’s operating companies intend to continue to expand their operations outside of the United States. This international expansion will require significant management attention and financial resources. The ability of CMGI’s operating companies to expand their offerings of CMGI’s products and services internationally will be limited by the general acceptance of the Internet in other countries. In addition, CMGI and its operating companies have limited experience in such international activities. Accordingly, CMGI and its operating companies will need to commit substantial time and development resources to customizing the products and services of its operating companies for selected international markets and to developing international sales and support channels.
 
CMGI expects that the export sales of its operating companies will be denominated predominantly in United States dollars. As a result, an increase in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies may make the products and services of its operating companies more expensive and, therefore, potentially less competitive in international markets. As CMGI’s operating companies increase their international sales, their total revenues may also be affected to a greater extent by seasonal fluctuations resulting from lower sales that typically occur during the summer months in Europe and other parts of the world.
 
CMGI’s operating companies could be subject to infringement claims and other liabilities.
 
From time to time, CMGI’s operating companies have been, and expect to continue to be, subject to third-party claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights. Any such claims may damage the businesses of CMGI’s operating companies by:
 
 
 
subjecting them to significant liability for damages;
 
 
 
resulting in invalidation of their proprietary rights;
 
 
 
resulting in costly license fees in order to settle such claims;
 
 
 
being time-consuming and expensive to defend even if such claims are not meritorious; and
 
 
 
resulting in the diversion of management time and attention.
 
In addition, because materials may be downloaded from the Internet and subsequently distributed to others, CMGI’s operating companies may be subject to claims for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, personal injury or other theories based on the nature, content, publication and distribution of such materials.

ITEM 7A—QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
The Company is exposed to equity price risks on the marketable portion of its equity securities. The Company’s available-for-sale securities at July 31, 2002 primarily consisted of investments in companies in the Internet and technology industries which have experienced significant historical volatility in their stock prices. The Company typically does not attempt to reduce or eliminate its market exposure on these securities. A 20% adverse change in equity prices, based on a sensitivity analysis of the equity component of the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio as of July 31, 2002, would result in an approximate $2.1 million decrease in the fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities.
 
The carrying values of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value, as estimated by using discounted future cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
 
The Company from time to time uses derivative financial instruments primarily to reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates on its borrowing arrangements. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. As a matter of policy all derivative positions are used to reduce risk by hedging underlying economic or market exposure. The derivatives the Company uses are straightforward instruments with liquid markets. At July 31, 2002, the Company was primarily exposed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR) interest rate on its outstanding borrowing arrangements.
 
The Company has historically had very low exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and as such, has not used derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency fluctuation risk. The Company may consider utilizing derivative instruments to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CMGI, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CMGI, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CMGI, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
(1)    Nature of Operations
 
CMGI, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CMGI” or the “Company”) is an operating and development company comprised of established and emerging companies, including both CMGI operating businesses and investments. CMGI companies span a range of vertical market segments including eBusiness and Fulfillment and Enterprise Software and Services.
 
CMGI’s business strategy over the years has led to the development, acquisition and operation of majority-owned subsidiaries focused on Internet technologies and supply chain management services, as well as the strategic investment in other Internet companies that have demonstrated synergies with CMGI’s core businesses. The Company’s strategy also envisions and promotes opportunities for synergistic business relationships among its subsidiaries, investments and affiliates.
 
(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation and Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for investments in businesses in which it owns less than 50% using the equity method, if the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee company. All other investments for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence or for which there is not a readily determinable market value, are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations.
 
Certain costs related to the purchase price of products sold, inbound and outbound shipping charges, packing supplies and other costs associated with marketplace business of the Company’s eBusiness and Fulfillment segment are classified as cost of revenue. Certain costs related to fulfillment, including distribution and customer service center expenses for activities such as receiving goods and picking of goods for shipment within the Company’s eBusiness and Fulfillment segment are classified as selling expenses.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue from sales of merchandise is recognized upon shipment of the merchandise and verification of the customer’s credit card authorization or receipt of cash. All shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized as revenue and related costs as costs of revenue when incurred, as long as the Company takes title to the products or assumes the risks and rewards of ownership.
 
The Company’s advertising revenue is derived primarily from the delivery of advertising impressions through its own or third-party Web sites. Revenue is recognized in the period that the advertising impressions are delivered, provided the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.
 
Revenue from software product licenses, database services and website traffic audit reports are generally recognized when (i) a signed non-cancelable software license exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the Company’s fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection is probable.

Revenue from software maintenance is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of each maintenance agreement, typically twelve months. Revenue from professional services is recognized as the services are performed, collection is probable and such revenues are contractually nonrefundable. Revenue from multiple element arrangements involving products, services and support elements is recognized in accordance with AICPA SOP 98-9, “Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Arrangements,” when vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for the delivered element. As required by SOP 98-9, under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements are deferred and subsequently recognized. The Company establishes sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for services and support elements based on the price charged when these elements are sold separately. Accordingly, software license revenue for products developed is recognized under the residual method in arrangements in which the software is sold with one or both of the other elements. Revenue from license agreements that require significant customizations and modifications to the software product is deferred and recognized using the percentage of completion method using labor hours as the primary measure towards completion. For license arrangements involving customizations for which the amount of customization effort cannot be reasonably estimated or when license arrangements provide for customer acceptance, we recognize revenue under the completed contract method of accounting.
 
Revenue from e-mail based direct marketing is recognized upon delivery of the e-mail to the target audience that represents substantial completion of the contract obligation.
 
Substantially all media and media management revenue is recognized on a gross basis and amounts paid to Web sites where advertisements appear are recorded as cost of revenue. Revenue is generally recognized gross of the related Web site expense in arrangements in which the Company acts as the principal in the transaction. Revenue is recognized net of the related Web site expense in arrangements in which the Company primarily acts as a sales agent.
 
Revenue from server hosting, systems administration, application rentals and Web site management services is generally billed and recognized over the term of the contract based on actual usage.
 
The Company adopted SAB No. 101 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 and accordingly recognized an adjustment for approximately $27.6 million. The adjustment reduced both net revenue and cost of revenue by $8.1 million, $7.7 million and $11.8 million, respectively for each of the first three quarters of fiscal year 2001. An adjustment of $7.6 million was also recorded to net revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000. The adoption of SAB No. 101 also reflects a change in the recognition of certain revenues within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment from a gross basis to a net basis. These adjustments had no impact on operating loss.
 
The Company adopted Topic No. D-103, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred” at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Topic D-103 requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenue on the statement of operations. This change in revenue classification impacts the Company’s Enterprise Software and Services segment, resulting in an increase in both net revenue and cost of revenue of approximately $6.2 million for fiscal year 2001. There was no impact on revenue or cost of revenue for fiscal year 2000. There was no impact on operating loss for any prior periods. Comparative financial statements for prior periods were reclassified to comply with this interpretive guidance.
 
Amounts billed prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are classified as deferred revenue.

Gains on Issuance of Stock by Subsidiaries and Affiliates
 
At the time a subsidiary sells its stock to unrelated parties at a price in excess of its book value, the Company’s net investment in that subsidiary increases. If at that time, the subsidiary is not a newly formed, non-operating entity, nor a research and development, start-up or development stage company, nor is there question as to the subsidiary’s ability to continue in existence, the Company records the increase in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Otherwise, the increase is reflected in “Effect of subsidiaries’ equity transactions” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.
 
At the time a subsidiary sells its stock to unrelated parties at a price below its book value, the Company’s net investment in that subsidiary decreases. If at that time, the subsidiary is not a newly formed, non-operating entity, nor a research and development, start-up or development stage company, nor is there question as to the subsidiary’s ability to continue in existence, the Company records the decrease in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Otherwise, the decrease is reflected in “Effect of subsidiaries’ equity transactions” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.
 
If gains have been recognized on issuances of a subsidiary’s stock and shares of the subsidiary are subsequently repurchased by the subsidiary or by the Company, gain recognition does not occur on issuance subsequent to the date of a repurchase until such time as shares have been issued in an amount equivalent to the number of repurchased shares. Such transactions are reflected as equity transactions, and the net effect of these transactions is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.
 
Cash Equivalents and Statement of Cash Flows Supplemental Information
 
Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition are considered cash equivalents.

Also during fiscal 2002, the Company reached an agreement with HP in which HP agreed to deem the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable, plus the accrued interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock, CMGI’s 49% ownership interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions, LLC, of which HP had previously owned the remaining 51% as well as additional consideration (see note 14).
 
In November 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to hedge its investment in 581,499 shares of Yahoo! (Yahoo!) common stock. Under the terms of the new contract, the Company delivered 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock on August 1, 2001 (see note 14).
 
During fiscal year 2001, significant non-cash investing activities included the issuance of approximately 2.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock to HP as consideration for $23.0 million in annual interest payments due on the notes payable issued in conjunction with the acquisition of AltaVista. Also during the year ended July 31, 2001, the Company issued approximately 30.2 million shares of its common stock as payment of principal and interest totaling approximately $391.6 million related to notes payable that had been issued in the Company’s acquisition of Tallan, Inc. (Tallan). In August 2000, the Company and Cable & Wireless plc, completed a previously agreed to exchange of stock. CMGI received approximately 241.0 million shares of PCCW stock from Cable & Wireless in exchange for approximately 13.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
During fiscal year 2001, the Company settled the first and third tranches of an agreement (see note 14) that hedged a portion of the Company’s investment in common stock of Yahoo! through the delivery of 581,499 and 47,684 shares of Yahoo! common stock, respectively, to an investment bank.
 
During fiscal year 2001, Yahoo! acquired eGroups, Inc., a CMGI @Ventures investee company. In connection with the merger, CMG@Ventures III received approximately 91,000 shares (including shares held in escrow) of Yahoo! common stock.
 
In August 2000 and September 2000, respectively, Engage completed the acquisitions of Space and MediaBridge in exchange for its own common stock (see note 8).
 
During fiscal year 2000, significant non-cash investing activities included the exchange of stock between the Company and the following companies: divine, inc. (Divine), Primedia, Netcentives, Inc. (Netcentives) and PCCW. During fiscal year 2000, the Company also completed the sale of the Company’s investment in Half.com in exchange for eBay common stock.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value, as estimated by using discounted future cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
 
Investments
 
Marketable securities held the Company which meet the criteria for classification as available-for-sale are carried at fair value, net of a market discount to reflect any restrictions on transferability. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale are carried net of income taxes as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 
Marketable securities held by the Company which meet the criteria for classification as trading are carried at fair value. Changes in the market value of securities classified as trading are recorded as a component of “Other gains (losses), net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Other investments in which the Company’s interest is less than 20% and which are not classified as available-for-sale securities are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value unless it is determined that the Company exercises significant influence over the investee company, in which case the equity method of accounting is used. For those investments in affiliates in which the Company’s voting interest is between 20% and 50%, the equity method of accounting is generally used. Under this method, the investment balance, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the affiliates as they occur, limited to the extent of the Company’s investment in, advances to and commitments for the investee. The Company’s share of net earnings or losses of affiliates includes the amortization of the difference between the Company’s investment and its share of the underlying net assets of the investee. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to five years. These adjustments are reflected in “Equity in losses of affiliates” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
At the time an equity method investee sells its stock to unrelated parties at a price in excess of its book value, the Company’s net investment in that affiliate increases. If at that time, the affiliate is not a newly formed, non-operating entity, nor a research and development, start-up or development stage company, nor is there question as to the affiliate’s ability to continue in existence, the Company records the increase as a gain in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
The Company assesses the need to record impairment losses on investments and records such losses when the impairment of an investment is determined to be other than temporary in nature. These impairment losses are reflected in “Other gains (losses), net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company’s management performs on-going business reviews and, based on quantitative and qualitative measures, assesses the need to record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when impairment indicators are present. Where impairment indicators are identified, management determines the amount of the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to their fair value. Management determines fair value based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected future cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the company being evaluated. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the company based on the relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the company in comparison to the guideline companies. Management predominately utilizes third-party valuation reports in its determination of fair value. The impairment policy is consistently applied in evaluating impairment for each of the Company’s wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and investments. It is reasonably possible that the impairment factors evaluated by management will change in subsequent periods, given that the Company operates in a volatile business environment. This could result in material impairment charges in future periods.
 
Restructuring Expenses
 
The Company assesses the need to record restructuring charges in accordance with EITF No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)”, EITF No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination” and SAB No. 100, “Restructuring and Impairment Charges.” In accordance

61


Table of Contents

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

with this guidance, management must execute an exit plan that will result in the incurrence of costs that have no future economic benefit. Under the terms of EITF No. 94-3, a liability for the restructuring charges is recognized in the period management approves the restructuring plan.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets (three to seven years). Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.
 
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Major renewals and betterments are added to property and equipment accounts at cost.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill and other intangible assets are being amortized principally over periods expected to be benefited, ranging from two to fifteen years, with the majority of the goodwill balance being amortized over three years.
 
Research and Development Costs and Software Costs
 
Expenditures that are related to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products and the development of software are expensed as incurred, unless they are required to be capitalized. Software development costs are required to be capitalized when a product’s technological feasibility has been established by completion of a detailed program design or working model of the product, and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. To date, the establishment of technological feasibility and general release has substantially coincided. As a result, capitalized software development costs have not been significant. Additionally, at the date of acquisition or investment, the Company evaluates the components of the purchase price of each acquisition or investment to identify amounts allocated to in-process research and development. Upon completion of acquisition accounting and valuation, such amounts are charged to expense if technological feasibility had not been reached at the acquisition date.
 
Advertising Costs
 
Advertising costs are expensed in the year incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $40.3 million, $48.2 million and $160.0 million for the years ended July 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
 
Accounting for Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Accrued taxes payable includes reserves for estimated tax exposures.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted

62


Table of Contents

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of common stock equivalents and convertible preferred stock are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share only when the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive. Approximately 4.7 million weighted average common stock equivalents were excluded from the denominator in the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended July 31, 2002. As the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was repurchased in November 2001 (see note 16), there is no effect of assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock for the year ended July 31, 2002. Approximately 8.5 million weighted average common stock equivalents and approximately 9.7 million shares representing the weighted average effect of assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock were excluded from the denominator in the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended July 31, 2001. Approximately 13.1 million weighted average common stock equivalents and approximately 9.5 million shares representing the weighted average effect of assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock were excluded from the denominator in the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended July 31, 2000.
 
If a subsidiary has dilutive stock options or warrants outstanding, diluted earnings per share is computed by first deducting from net income (loss), the income attributable to the potential exercise of the dilutive stock options or warrants of the subsidiary. The effect of income attributable to dilutive subsidiary stock equivalents was immaterial during the years ended July 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
 
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
 
The Company accounts for its stock compensation plans under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company measures compensation cost in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Accordingly, no accounting recognition is given to stock options granted at fair market value until they are exercised. Upon exercise, net proceeds, including tax benefits realized, are credited to equity.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Diversification of Risk
 
Sales to one customer, Cisco Systems, Inc., accounted for approximately 6%, 8% and 11% of consolidated net revenue and 8%, 14% and 28% of eBusiness and Fulfillment segment net revenue for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Accounts receivable from this customer amounted to approximately 5% and 10% of total trade accounts receivable at July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Customer advertising contracts serviced by DoubleClick, Inc. accounted for approximately 1% and 13% of consolidated net revenue and 3% and 24% of the Enterprise Software and Services segment net revenue for fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively. Accounts receivables from one customer, HP, account for approximately 33% of the total accounts receivable at July 31, 2002. The Company’s products and services are provided to customers primarily in North America.
 
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash equivalent investment portfolio is diversified and consists primarily of short-term investment grade securities. To reduce risk, the

63

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable.
 
The Company enters into interest rate swap and cap agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate debt. The swap agreements are contracts to exchange floating rate for fixed interest payments periodically over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amounts of interest rate agreements are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The differential paid or received on interest rate agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.
 
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
As amended, SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” establishes standards of accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivatives be recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position, and that the corresponding gains or losses be reported either in the statements of operations or as a component of comprehensive income, depending on the type of hedging relationship that exists. If the derivative is determined to be a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through the statements of operations or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in the statements of operations. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 on August 1, 2000 and recorded a transition gain, net of income taxes, of approximately $3.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2001.
 
Comprehensive Income
 
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” requires certain financial statement components, such as net unrealized holding gains or losses and cumulative translation adjustments to be included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company reports accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 will apply to all business combinations that the Company enters into after June 30, 2001, and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new statements, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
 
The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 142, and apply its provisions for accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. Upon adoption, the Company will perform the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. As of July 31, 2002, the Company has not yet determined what effect these tests will have on its operations and financial position. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, SFAS No. 141 will require the Company to evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in prior purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. Accordingly, the Company will be required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all identifiable intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments. In

64

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

addition, to the extent an intangible asset is then determined to have an indefinite useful life, the Company will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
 
SFAS No. 142 will require the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this the Company must identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. The Company will then have up to six months from the date of adoption to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. To the extent a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, the Company must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS No. 141, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss for goodwill will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement addresses the accounting treatment for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The provisions of the statement apply to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of a long-lived asset. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has not completed its analysis of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 143, but does not expect this statement to have a material impact on its operations or financial position.
 
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Impairment on Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, the criteria required for classifying an asset as held-for-sale have been significantly changed. Assets held-for-sale are stated at the lower of their fair values or carrying amounts, and depreciation is no longer recognized. In addition, the expected future operating losses from discontinued operations will be displayed in discontinued operations in the period in which the losses are incurred rather than as of the measurement date. More dispositions will qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the statement of operations under the new rules. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 144 to its consolidated financial statements.
 
In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued as interpretive guidance Topic No. D-103, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred”. Topic D-103 requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenue on the statement of operations and was adopted by the Company at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2002. This change in revenue classification impacts the Company’s Enterprise Software and Services segment, resulting in an increase in both net revenue and cost of revenue of approximately $6.2 million for fiscal year 2001. There was no impact on revenue or cost of revenue for fiscal year 2000. There was no impact on operating loss for any prior periods. Comparative financial statements for prior periods were reclassified to comply with this interpretive guidance.
 
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” effective for financial statements issued after

65


Table of Contents

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

May 15, 2002. The statement rescinds Statement 4 which required all gains and loses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, when material, classified as an extraordinary item net of related income tax effect. This statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue 94-3. The statement requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the statement include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operations, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. The provisions of this Statement are required to be applied to exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 146 to its consolidated financial statements.
 
(3)    Segment Information
 
Based on the information provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance, the Company’s operations have been classified in two operating segments that are strategic business units offering distinctive products and services that are marketed through different channels.
 
The Company previously reported five operating segments: (i) Interactive Marketing, (ii) eBusiness and Fulfillment, (iii) Search and Portals, (iv) Infrastructure and Enabling Technologies, and (v) Internet Professional Services. As a result of the cessation of operations, sale or other disposition of several subsidiaries and restructuring efforts at several of the remaining subsidiaries, the Company realigned its operating segments in fiscal 2002 to include three operating segments: (i) Enterprise Software and Services (which consists of Engage, (Engage, Inc.), Yesmail, Inc. (Yesmail), AltaVista Company (AltaVista), ProvisionSoft, Inc. (ProvisionSoft, formerly CMGion), Equilibrium Technologies, Inc. (Equilibrium) and Tallán, Inc. (Tallán) (ii) eBusiness and Fulfillment (which consists of SalesLink Corporation (SalesLink), uBid, Inc. (uBid), SL Supply Chain Services International Corp. (SL Supply Chain) as of July 2002, and the historical results of Signatures SNI, Inc., (Signatures) until the sale of the Company’s majority interest in February 2001), (iii) Managed Application Services (which consists of NaviSite, Inc. (NaviSite) and the historical results of NaviPath, Inc. (NaviPath), ExchangePath LLC (ExchangePath) and 1stUp.com Corporation (1stUp) until the cessation of their operations in January 2002, January 2001 and December 2000, respectively, and Activate.Net Corporation (Activate), until its sale in September 2001). The Other segment represents certain corporate marketing and administrative expenses and the Company’s venture capital arm, which invests in companies involved in various aspects of the Internet.
 
On September 11, 2002, the Company sold of all its equity and debt ownership interests in NaviSite. As a result, for all periods presented, NaviSite, which was previously included within the Managed Application Services segment, has been accounted for as a discontinued operation, as NaviSite’s product offering represents both a major line of business and a distinct class of customer. At the time of the sale, NaviSite comprised more than 90% of both the total assets and operating losses of the Managed Application Services segment. Accordingly, NaviSite’s net current assets and net non-current assets (liabilities) have been segregated from continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and its operating results have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows, and related notes to the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented (see note 4). The Company is currently evaluating its segment presentation and disclosures as a result of the recent dispositions of NaviSite, Engage, and Equilibrium.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 
In addition to its two current operating segments in fiscal year 2002, the Company continues to report a Portals (formerly Search and Portals) segment that consists of the operations of MyWay and iCAST, as these entities do not meet the aggregation criteria under SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, with respect to the Company’s current reporting segments. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2001, management announced its decision to cease funding the operations of iCAST, and in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, management announced its decision to cease funding the operations of MyWay. Accordingly, the historical results of these companies will continue to be reported in the Portals segment, as will any residual results from operations that exist through the cessation of operations. Prior to the realignment of the business and the reporting segments, the Portals segment also included the results of AltaVista. For comparative purposes, the historical results of AltaVista for all periods presented have been reclassified to the Enterprise Software and Services segment. Also, the Company will continue to report a Managed Application Services segment which includes the historical results of NaviPath, ExchangePath and 1stUp until the cessation of their operations in January 2002, January 2001 and December 2000, respectively, and Activate, until its sale in September 2001.
 
Management evaluates segment performance based on segment net revenue, operating loss and “pro forma operating income (loss)”, which is defined as the operating income (loss) excluding net charges related to in-process research and development, depreciation, long-lived asset impairment, restructuring and amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation.
 
Summarized financial information of the Company’s continuing operations by business segment is as follows:

(4)    Discontinued Operations
 
On June 12, 2002 (the measurement date), CMGI’s board of directors authorized the divestiture of the Company’s equity and debt ownership interests in its subsidiary NaviSite. In September 2002, the Company completed the sale of all its equity and debt ownership interests in its subsidiary, NaviSite to ClearBlue Technologies, Inc. (“ClearBlue”). In consideration thereof, the Company received, among other things, 131,579 shares of common stock of ClearBlue. As a result, for all periods presented, NaviSite, which was previously included within the Managed Application Services segment, has been accounted for as a discontinued operation, as NaviSite’s product offering represents both a major line of business and a distinct class of customer. At the time of the sale, NaviSite comprised more than 90% of both the total assets and operating losses of the Managed Application Services segment. As a result of the transaction, the Company expects to record a net gain of between $4.0 million and $7.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. The estimated gain on the sale of NaviSite includes the results of operations from the measurement date through the date of disposal. The results of operations of NaviSite from the measurement date through July 31, 2002 have been deferred and reflected as a deferred loss on disposal of subsidiary on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 31, 2002 in accordance with EITF No. 85-36, “Discontinued Operations with Expected Gain and Interim Operating Losses.” Additionally, the historical operations of NaviSite have been reflected as loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and NaviSite’s net current assets and net long term assets (liabilities) have been reported as net current assets and net non-current assets (liabilities) of discontinued operations at July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to reflect the operations of NaviSite as discontinued operations. Summarized financial information for discontinued operations is as follows:

(5)    Deconsolidation of Signatures SNI, Inc.
 
Beginning in February 2001, CMGI’s ownership interest in Signatures was reduced to below 50% as a result of the sale of the Company’s majority interest. As such, beginning in February 2001, the Company began to account for its investment in Signatures under the equity method of accounting, rather than the consolidation method. Prior to these events, the operating results of Signatures were consolidated within the operating results of the Company’s eBusiness and Fulfillment segment, and the assets and liabilities of Signatures were consolidated with those of CMGI’s other majority-owned subsidiaries in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s historical quarterly consolidated operating results for the six months ended January 31, 2001 included Signatures net revenue of approximately $40.8 million and operating losses of approximately $4.7 million.
 
(6)    Available-for-Sale Securities
 
At July 31, 2002 and 2001, available-for-sale securities primarily consist of stock investments, carried at fair value and based on quoted market prices. Available-for-sale securities at July 31, 2002 primarily consisted of approximately 4.6 million shares of Vicinity stock valued at $9.4 million and approximately 21,000 shares of Amazon.com stock valued at $0.3 million. Available-for-sale securities at July 31, 2001 primarily consisted of approximately 7.1 million shares of Primedia stock valued at $43.5 million, 590,000 shares of Yahoo! stock valued at $10.4 million, 4.6 million shares of Vicinity stock valued at $8.0 million, 4.7 million shares of Divine stock valued at $6.0 million, 2.1 million shares of MSGI stock valued at $1.9 million and 3.2 million shares of Ventro Corporation stock valued at $1.6 million. The net unrealized holding gain of approximately $0.8 million and $17.7 million, net of deferred income taxes, has been presented as “Accumulated other comprehensive income” within the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity at July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Fiscal 2002
 
On July 11, 2002, following approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court and the administrator in The Netherlands, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary SL Supply Chain, acquired substantially all of the worldwide assets and operations of iLogistix, a provider of a comprehensive suite of traditional and e-commerce supply chain management services, for approximately $44.3 million. The purchase price allocation for iLogistix (now doing business as SL Supply Chain) is preliminary and subject to change.
 
Fiscal 2001
 
In August 2000, Engage completed its acquisition of Space. The total purchase price for Space was valued at approximately $35.8 million consisting of approximately 3.2 million shares of Engage common stock valued at approximately $35.5 million and direct acquisition costs of approximately $425,000, net of cash acquired of $70,000. Engage also recorded approximately $18.9 million in deferred compensation related to approximately 1.5 million shares of Engage common stock to be issued to certain employee shareholders of Space contingent upon continued employment for a one year period following the date of acquisition. Lastly, contingent consideration, comprised of approximately 1.4 million shares of Engage common stock, has been placed in escrow to satisfy certain performance objectives by Space. At July 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively, the performance goals were not met by Space.
 
In September 2000, Engage completed its acquisition of MediaBridge. The total purchase price for MediaBridge was valued at approximately $219.1 million consisting of approximately 11.7 million shares of Engage common stock valued at approximately $190.1 million, options to purchase Engage common stock valued at approximately $31.1 million, direct acquisition costs of approximately $482,000 and net cash acquired of $2.6 million. Of the purchase price, $700,000 was allocated to in-process research and development, which was charged to operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Engage also recorded approximately $7.0 million in deferred compensation related to stock options issued to certain MediaBridge employees. During fiscal year 2001, Engage recorded a $2.9 million adjustment to the goodwill that was originally recorded for the MediaBridge acquisition. The adjustment related principally to accruing additional liabilities related to MediaBridge pre-acquisition contingencies. The additional goodwill recorded will be amortized over the remaining life of the goodwill amortization periods as originally determined for the MediaBridge acquisition. In the fourth quarter of 2001, an impairment charge in the amount of approximately $109.0 million was recorded to write-down MediaBridge goodwill and other intangible assets to fair value (see note 9). In the fourth quarter of 2002, an impairment charge was recorded to write-down the remaining goodwill and other intangible assets.

Fiscal 2000
 
In August 1999, CMGI completed its acquisition of approximately 81.5% of AltaVista, for approximately 38.0 million CMGI common shares valued at approximately $1.8 billion, approximately 18,000 shares of the Company’s Series D preferred stock, which were converted into approximately 3.7 million shares of CMGI common stock in October 1999 valued at approximately $173.0 million, two three-year notes totaling $220.0 million and the exchange of CMGI and subsidiary stock options for AltaVista stock options. The AltaVista acquisition included the assets and liabilities constituting the AltaVista Internet search service and also included former Compaq subsidiaries Zip2 Corporation and Shopping.com. The shares issued by the Company in connection with the AltaVista acquisition are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The total purchase price for AltaVista was valued at approximately $2.4 billion, including costs of acquisition of approximately $4.0 million. The value of the Company’s shares included in the purchase price was recorded net of a weighted average 10% market value discount to reflect the restrictions on transferability.
 
In January 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of AdForce. The total purchase price for AdForce was valued at approximately $545.0 million. Of the purchase price, approximately $9.3 million was allocated to in-process research and development, which was charged to operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2000. Also in January 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of Flycast. The total purchase price for Flycast was valued at approximately $897.5 million. Of the purchase price, approximately $29.3 million was allocated to in-process research and development, which was charged to operations during the third quarter of fiscal year 2000. In March 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of Yesmail. The total purchase price for Yesmail was valued at approximately $588.6 million. Of the purchase price, approximately $18.5 million was allocated to in-process research and development, which was charged to operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000. In April 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of uBid. The total purchase price for uBid was valued at approximately $390.8 million. Also in April 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of approximately 94.2% of Tallan. The total purchase price for Tallan was valued at approximately $905.2 million. The consideration for the acquisitions of AdForce, Flycast, Yesmail and uBid was primarily in the form of CMGI common stock.
 
In April 2000, CMGI contributed Flycast and Adsmart to Engage, a majority-owned subsidiary of CMGI. Upon completion of the transaction, CMGI received approximately 64 million shares of Engage common stock, and Flycast and Adsmart became wholly owned subsidiaries of Engage. As a result of the transaction, CMGI’s ownership interest in Engage increased to approximately 87% and CMGI recorded a decrease to its consolidated stockholders’ equity of approximately $54.0 million to reflect this transaction.
 
During fiscal year 2000, the Company, or its subsidiaries, also completed the acquisitions of eighteen other companies for combined consideration of approximately $586.1 million in CMGI and subsidiary common stock, options and warrants to purchase common stock of CMGI and subsidiaries, notes which are payable only in CMGI common stock and cash and commitments to fund a total of approximately $83.0 million in operating capital. Those acquisitions included 1stUp ($35.9 million purchase price), Activate ($61.6 million), AdKnowledge ($164.1 million), AdTECH Advertising Service Providing GmbH (in which the Company acquired an 80.29% ownership interest) ($20.2 million), Clara Vista Corporation ($17.2 million), ClickHear, Inc. ($50,000), Equilibrium ($17.1 million), ExchangePath ($12.5 million), GreenWitch, LLC ($3.0 million), iAtlas, Inc. ($23.3 million), Interactive Solutions ($5.0 million), Raging Bull, a CMGI affiliate ($165.8 million), Shortbuzz ($330,000), Signatures ($30.0 million), Transium Corporation ($9.6 million), Tribal Voice ($13.8 million), Virtual BillBoard Network ($4.7 million), and the remaining 33% minority interest in Netwright, LLC (Netwright) ($2.0 million) not already owned by CMGI.
 
The acquisitions completed during fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 have been accounted for using the purchase method and, accordingly, the purchase prices have been allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based upon their fair values at the dates of acquisition. The amounts of the purchase prices allocated to

The amortization of intangible assets and impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended July 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 would have been primarily allocated to general and administrative expense had the Company recorded the expenses within the functional operating expense categories. The amortization of stock-based compensation for the years ended July 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, would have been primarily allocated to general and administrative expense had the Company recorded the expenses within the functional department of the employee or director.
 
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the consolidated operations of the Company as if the fiscal year 2002 acquisition of SL Supply Chain had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal year 2001, after giving effect to certain adjustments including the elimination of SL Supply Chain’s amortization of goodwill and non-recurring charges that are not indicative of normal operating results. The fiscal year 2000 pro forma presents the consolidated operations of the Company as if the fiscal year 2000, acquisitions of AltaVista, AdForce, Flycast, Yesmail, Tallán, and uBid had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal 2000, after giving effect to certain adjustments including increased amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets related to the acquisitions and increased interest expense related to long-term debt issued in conjunction with the acquisitions. In-process research and development charges totaling $57.1 million, which were recorded in fiscal 2000 related to the acquisitions of AdForce, Flycast and Yesmail in fiscal 2000, are excluded from the pro forma results as they are non-recurring and not indicative of normal operating results. The unaudited pro forma information excludes the impact of all other fiscal year 2000 and 2001 acquisitions, respectively, since they are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(9)    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company records impairment charges as a result of management’s ongoing business review and impairment analysis performed under its existing policy regarding impairment. Where impairment indicators were identified, management determined the amount of the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets to their fair value. Management determines fair value of goodwill and certain other intangible assets based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the Company. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the Company based on the relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the Company in comparison to the guideline companies. Management predominantly utilizes third-party valuation reports in its determination of fair value. Management predominantly determines fair value of other long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, based on third party valuation reports.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $9.3 million. These charges included an impairment charge of $6.5 million related to the purchase of certain leased equipment previously held under operating and capital leases by AltaVista (see note 14). The Company also recorded approximately $2.8 million related to impairment of customer base and workforce in place intangible assets at Tallan.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $4.0 million. AltaVista recorded long-lived asset impairment charges totaling approximately $1.1 million related to an adjustment of a previously recorded impairment charge recorded by AltaVista as part of its agreement with Compaq Financial Services Corporation, (now Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Corporation, HPFS) to purchase certain equipment that it had previously leased under operating and capital lease agreements. Tallan recorded an impairment charge totaling approximately $0.6 million resulting from the carrying value of certain other intangible assets, specifically the workforce in place as of the acquisition date, exceeding their estimated fair value at January 31, 2002. The Company also recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2.3 million resulting from a write-off of certain assets which are no longer being utilized by the Company, primarily software and consulting fees capitalized in the development of software for internal use, computer equipment and furniture and fixtures, at the Company’s headquarters.
 
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $3.4 million. During the quarter, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of approximately $2.8 million related to leasehold improvements that were deemed impaired as a result of AltaVista’s renegotiation of a real estate lease. Under the renegotiated terms, AltaVista reduced the amount of square footage under the lease and forfeited certain leasehold improvements that were located in the leased

building. AltaVista deemed these forfeited leasehold improvements to be permanently impaired as the leasehold improvements would not provide any future economic benefit to AltaVista. Additionally, Tallan recorded an impairment of long-lived assets charge of approximately $0.6 million resulting from the carrying value of certain other intangible assets, specifically the workforce in place and the customer list as of the acquisition date, exceeding their estimated fair value at April 30, 2002.
 
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $56.4 million. Due to the continued decline in operating and financial metrics, management determined that the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets exceeded their estimated fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $31.2 million and $23.4 million related to Engage and Tallan, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of their goodwill and intangible balances.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $69.6 million. Subsequent to October 31, 2000, CMGI announced its decisions to exit the businesses conducted by its subsidiaries iCAST and 1stUp. In connection with these decisions, management determined that the carrying value of certain intangible assets, principally goodwill, were permanently impaired and recorded impairment charges of approximately $3.6 million and $23.3 million related to iCAST and 1stUp, respectively. The Company also recorded other impairment charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 totaling approximately $42.7 million, consisting primarily of $16.8 million related to intangible assets of Engage, $8.9 million related to intangible assets of MyWay, and $10.1 million related to intangible assets of ProvisionSoft.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $2.0 billion. Each of the companies for which impairment charges were recorded in the second quarter had experienced declines in operating and financial metrics over the previous several quarters in comparison to the metrics forecasted at the time of their respective acquisitions. The impairment analysis considered that these companies were recently acquired during the time period from August 1999 to March 2000 and that the intangible assets recorded upon acquisition of these companies were generally being amortized over a three-year useful life. Sufficient monitoring was performed over the course of the prior several quarters and this monitoring process culminated with impairment charges for these companies in the second quarter. The amount of the impairment charge was determined by comparing the carrying value of goodwill and certain other intangible assets to fair value at January 31, 2001. The discount rates used as of January 31, 2001 ranged from 20% to 25%. These discount rates were determined by an analysis of the risks associated with certain goodwill and other intangible assets. The resulting net cash flows to which the discount rates were applied were based on management’s estimates of revenues, operating expenses and income taxes from the assets with identified impairment indicators.
 
As a result of sequential declines in operating results, primarily due to the continued weak overall demand for on-line advertising and marketing services and changes in business strategies, management determined that the carrying value of goodwill and certain other intangible assets of Engage, Yesmail, ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, AdForce, and AltaVista should be adjusted. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $524.1 million, $350.6 million, $241.8 million and $862.6 million, respectively, totaling $1.98 billion during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 to adjust the carrying value of these intangible assets.
 
Also during the second quarter of fiscal 2001, CMGI announced its decision to cease funding of ExchangePath. In connection with this decision, management determined that the carrying value of certain intangible assets of ExchangePath, principally goodwill, were permanently impaired and recorded impairment charges in the quarter ended January 31, 2001 of approximately $5.7 million. The Company also recorded other impairment charges during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 totaling approximately $13.8 million primarily related to certain intangible assets of Tallan.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $609.5 million. As a result of a decline in operating and financial metrics at Tallan over the few quarters preceding the third quarter in comparison to the metrics forecasted at the time of acquisition, management determined that the carrying value of certain intangible assets, principally goodwill, were permanently impaired and recorded impairment charges of $497.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2001. In addition, CMGI announced its decision to explore strategic alternatives for the businesses conducted by its subsidiaries, Activate, and AdForce. In connection with these decisions, management determined that the carrying value of certain intangible assets, principally goodwill, were permanently impaired and recorded impairment charges of approximately $30.4 million and $81.4 million related to Activate and AdForce, respectively, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2001.
 
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $685.3 million. As a result of the continued decline in operating and financial metrics at certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, management determined that the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets exceeded the estimated fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $384.4 million, $123.5 million, $96.0 million, $75.5 million, $4.2 million and $3.6 million related to Engage, AltaVista, MyWay, Tallan, Yesmail and uBid, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of the goodwill and intangible balances.
 
The impairment factors evaluated by management may change in subsequent periods, given that the Company operates in a volatile business environment. This could result in additional material impairment charges in future periods.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002, the Company recorded net restructuring charges totaling approximately $26.2 million in accordance with EITF Issue No. 94-3 and SAB No. 100.
 
The Company’s restructuring initiatives involved strategic decisions to exit certain businesses and to reposition certain core businesses. Restructuring charges consisted primarily of contract terminations, severance charges and equipment charges incurred as a result of the cessation of operations of certain subsidiaries and actions taken at several remaining subsidiaries to increase operational efficiencies, improve margins and further reduce expenses. Severance charges include employee termination costs as a result of a reduction in workforce, and salary expense for certain employees involved in the restructuring efforts. Employees affected by the restructuring were notified both through direct personal contact and by written notification. The contract terminations primarily consisted of costs to exit facility and equipment leases and to terminate bandwidth and other vendor contracts. The asset impairment charges primarily related to the write-off of property and equipment.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, Engage incurred approximately $12.5 million of restructuring charges, which were primarily a result of the closing of its media operations and its implementation of a restructuring plan designed to reduce its corporate overhead costs through reductions in the size of its staff. The closing of the media business resulted in severance costs for approximately 232 employees and contract termination costs to exit facility and equipment leases. Also during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, AltaVista incurred restructuring charges of approximately $10.0 million, which were primarily a result of a change in its business strategy from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model.

As a result, the Company recorded a restructuring adjustment of approximately $20.5 million to the accrued restructuring balance at July 31, 2001, primarily related to payments by NaviPath to terminate purchase commitments and service contracts for amounts less than originally estimated.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded approximately $2.0 million in restructuring expenses primarily related to AltaVista, MyWay and its corporate headquarters. AltaVista incurred restructuring charges of approximately $0.8 million primarily related to the write-off of fixed assets resulting from AltaVista’s decision to shut-down its European data center.

The Company completed its $35 million commitment to this fund during fiscal year 1997. The Company’s second Internet venture fund, CMG@Ventures II, was formed during fiscal year 1997. The Company owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to approximately 80% of cumulative net profits of CMG@Ventures II. The remaining interest in these investments are attributed to profit members, including David Wetherell, the Company’s Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer. The Company is responsible for all operating expenses of CMG@Ventures I and CMG@Ventures II. CMG@Ventures II invested a total of approximately $7.3 million in four companies during fiscal year 2000, approximately $1.8 million in two companies during fiscal year 2001 and did not invest in any companies during fiscal year 2002.
 
In fiscal year 1999, CMGI formed the @Ventures III venture capital fund (@Ventures III Fund). The @Ventures III Fund secured capital commitments from outside investors, and CMGI, to be invested in emerging Internet service and technology companies. The @Ventures III Fund consists of four entities, which co-invest in each investment made by the @Ventures III Fund. Approximately 78% of each investment made by the @Ventures III Fund is made by two entities, @Ventures III, L.P. and @Ventures Foreign Fund III, L.P. CMGI does not have a direct ownership interest in either of these entities, but CMGI is entitled to approximately 2% of the cumulative net capital gains realized by both entities (after return of certain priority amounts to the investors in such entities) as a result of its ownership of an approximately 10% interest in the general partner of each of such entities, @Ventures Partners, III, LLC (@Ventures Partners III). The Company has committed to contribute up to $56 million to its limited liability company subsidiary, CMG@Ventures III, equal to 19.9% of total amounts committed to the @Ventures III Fund, of which approximately $54.6 million has been funded as of July 31, 2002. CMGI owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to approximately 80% of the cumulative net capital gains realized by CMG@Ventures III. @Ventures Partners III is entitled to the remaining 20% of the net capital gains realized by CMG@Ventures III.

The Company’s Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer has an individual ownership interest in @Ventures Investors and, as a member of @Ventures Partners III, is entitled to a portion of net gains distributed to @Ventures Partners III. CMG@Ventures III invested a total of approximately $29.7 million in 25 companies during fiscal year 2000, approximately $300,000 in one company during fiscal 2001, and did not invest in any companies during fiscal year 2002.
 
During fiscal year 2000, CMGI formed an expansion fund to the @Ventures III Fund to provide follow-on financing to existing @Venture III Fund investee companies pursuant to which CMGI’s commitment increased by $38.2 million through its limited liability company subsidiary CMG@Ventures Expansion. In fiscal year 2002 this amount was reduced to $20.1 million, of which $15.6 million has been funded as of July 31, 2002. CMG@Ventures Expansion has a structure that is substantially identical to the @Ventures III Fund, and CMGI’s interests in said fund are comparable to its interests in the @Ventures III Fund. CMG@Ventures Expansion invested a total of approximately $9.3 million in fourteen companies during fiscal year 2000, approximately $4.3 million in nine companies in fiscal year 2001, and approximately $.4 million in two companies during fiscal year 2002.

(14)    Borrowing Arrangements
 
At July 31, 2002, notes payable totaling approximately $94.3 million consisted of an obligation incurred in conjunction with the retirement of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (see note 16). At July 31, 2001, notes payable totaling approximately $33.6 million consisted of a borrowing arrangement entered into in connection with a hedge of the Company’s investment in Yahoo! common stock discussed below.
 
In August 1999, the Company issued two three-year notes totaling $220.0 million to Compaq (now HP) as consideration for the Company’s acquisition of AltaVista. The notes bore interest at an annual rate of 10.5% and were due and payable in full in August 2002. Interest was due and payable semiannually on each February 18 and August 18 until the notes were paid in full. Principal and interest payments due on the notes were payable in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, other marketable securities, or any combination thereof at the option of CMGI.
 
In March 2000, the Company issued three short-term promissory notes totaling approximately $376.9 million as consideration for the Company’s acquisition of Tallán. During fiscal year 2001, the Company issued approximately 30.2 million shares of its common stock as payment of the principal and interest associated with these notes.
 
In April 2000, the Company entered into a borrowing arrangement that hedges a portion of the Company’s investment in common stock of Yahoo!.

The Company executed the first tranche in April 2000 and received

83

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

approximately $106.4 million. The Company subsequently settled this tranche through the delivery of 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock in August 2000. In May 2000, the Company received approximately $68.5 million and $5.7 million upon the execution of the second and third tranches, respectively. The Company settled the second tranche for cash totaling approximately $33.6 million in October 2000. The Company settled the third tranche through the delivery of 47,684 shares of Yahoo! common stock in February 2001. In November 2000, the Company entered into a new agreement to hedge the Company’s investment in 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock. The Company received approximately $31.5 million of cash in connection with this agreement. On August 1, 2001, the Company settled its remaining hedge arrangement on its shares of Yahoo! common stock through the delivery of 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock.
 
In October 2001, the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, AltaVista and NaviSite, entered into agreements with HP, a significant stockholder of CMGI, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Hewlett-Packard Financial Services (HPFS), formerly Compaq Financial Services. NaviSite purchased and recorded equipment from HPFS effective August 1, 2001, with a fair market value of $9.6 million, previously leased by NaviSite under operating lease agreements expiring through 2003, in exchange for a note payable of approximately  $35.0 million. Accordingly, as the fair value of the equipment, based on an independent appraisal, was less than the associated debt obligation, NaviSite recorded an impairment charge on long-lived assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 of approximately $27.4 million. The $35.0 million due to HPFS was executed in the form of a convertible note payable to HPFS in the total amount of $55.0 million on November 8, 2001, as described below.
 
Additionally, under the terms of these agreements, AltaVista agreed to purchase certain equipment that it had previously leased from HPFS under operating and capital lease agreements in exchange for a cash payment of $20.0 million. Based on an independent appraisal, the fair market value of the equipment was determined to be $7.9 million. As the fair market value of the equipment was less than the sum of the cash payment and the carrying value of the equipment under capital lease agreements, net of the remaining obligations, AltaVista recorded an impairment charge on long-lived assets in fiscal year 2002 of approximately $7.6 million. On November 8, 2001, AltaVista completed and recorded the purchase of this equipment.
 
In November 2001, as part of the agreement with HPFS, NaviSite received $20.0 million in cash from HPFS in exchange for a six-year convertible note payable. This note, which also relates to the $35.0 million equipment purchase described above, bears interest at 12% and requires payment of interest only for the first three years from the date of issuance. A portion of the interest payable to HPFS in the first two years may be paid in NaviSite common stock. Principal and interest payments are due on a straight-line basis commencing in year four until maturity on the sixth anniversary from the issuance date. The convertible note payable is secured by substantially all assets of NaviSite and cannot be prepaid. The principal balance may be converted into NaviSite common stock at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity at a conversion rate of $0.26 per share. The conversion rate of $0.26 results in beneficial conversion rights for HPFS. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion rights amounted to approximately $36.0 million, which has been reflected as a reduction of the carrying value of the convertible notes payable and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes. As of July 31, 2002, approximately $4.3 million has been amortized into interest expense.
 
In November 2001, as part of these agreements, HP agreed to deem the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable, plus the accrued interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for $75.0 million in cash, approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock and CMGI’s 49% ownership interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions, LLC, of which HP had previously owned the remaining 51%. As a result, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of approximately $131.3 million, net of income taxes million related to the extinguishment of the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable to HP. The gain was calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the notes payable plus accrued interest thereon, less the carrying value

of the consideration exchanged. The carrying value of the consideration approximated fair market value at the date of the transaction.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
 
In December 1999, Neil Braun, a former officer of iCAST Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“iCAST”), filed a complaint in United States District Court, Southern District of New York naming the Company, iCAST and David S. Wetherell as defendants. In the complaint, Mr. Braun alleged breach of contract regarding his termination from iCAST and claimed that he was entitled to acceleration of options to purchase CMGI common stock and iCAST common stock, upon his termination, under contract and promissory estoppel principles. Mr. Braun also claimed that, under quantum meruit principles, he was entitled to lost compensation. Mr. Braun sought damages of approximately $50 million and requested specific performance of the acceleration and exercise of options. In August 2001, the Court (i) granted summary judgment dismissing Mr. Wetherell as a defendant and (ii) granted summary judgment, disposing of Mr. Braun’s contract claim. In February 2002, the Court granted summary judgment disposing of Mr. Braun’s promissory estoppel claim. Trial on the quantum meruit claim was held in March 2002 and the jury returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Braun and against the Company in the amount of $113,482.24. As to iCAST, the jury found that Mr. Braun had not proven his claim. The Company filed a motion for directed verdict, which motion sought to set aside the jury verdict against the Company. Such motion was denied. In May 2002, Mr. Braun appealed the Court’s dismissal of his contract and promissory estoppel claims against iCAST and the Company. Full briefing on the appeal is not yet complete and no argument date has yet been set.
 
In August 2001, Jeffrey Black, a former employee of AltaVista, filed a complaint in Superior Court of the State of California (Santa Clara County) in his individual capacity as well as in his capacity as a trustee of two
family trusts against the Company and AltaVista alleging certain claims arising out of the termination of Mr. Black’s employment with AltaVista. As set forth in the complaint, Mr. Black is seeking monetary damages in excess of $70 million. The Company and AltaVista each believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. In March 2002, the court ordered the entire case to binding arbitration in California. In June 2002, Mr. Black petitioned the California Court of Appeal for a writ prohibiting enforcement of the order compelling arbitration of his cause of action for wrongful termination in violation of public policy. In July 2002, the Court of Appeal denied Mr. Black’s petition. In August 2002, Mr. Black submitted the matter before the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator was appointed on October 7, 2002. A date for the arbitration has not yet been set.
 
On January 28, 2002, Mark Nutritionals, Inc. (“MNI”) filed suit against AltaVista in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division. The claims against AltaVista include unfair competition and trademark infringement and dilution, under both federal law and the laws of the State of Texas. MNI is seeking compensatory damages in the amount of $10,000,000 and punitive damages. AltaVista believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. AltaVista filed its answer on March 1, 2002, denying the allegations. AltaVista is entitled to indemnification by a third party with respect to this matter.
 
On April 16, 2002, NCR Corporation filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against uBid. The complaint alleges that uBid has infringed four patents held by NCR and seeks unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. uBid believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. On May 28, 2002, uBid filed its answer to the complaint, denying the allegations.

On February 26, 2002, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, Engage and the individual members of the Board of Directors of Engage (David S. Wetherell, George A. McMillan, Christopher M. Cuddy, Edward M. Bennett and Peter J. Rice). The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties by the Company and the individual defendants, and violations of Delaware law. The complaint requests, among other things, that the court (i) enjoin Engage from effecting a proposed reverse stock split, (ii) enjoin the issuance of shares of Engage common stock to the Company upon conversion of promissory notes previously issued by Engage to the Company, (iii) award rescissory relief if the reverse stock split and stock issuances are consummated, and (iv) award the plaintiff compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses. On February 28, 2002, the Delaware Court of Chancery denied a request by the plaintiffs for the scheduling of a preliminary injunction hearing, and denied a request to allow expedited discovery in the lawsuit. In May 2002, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. In addition to the requests stated in the original complaint, the amended complaint requests that the court (i) enjoin a proposed merger by and among the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Engage (the “Merger”), and (ii) declare the Merger not to be entirely fair to the plaintiffs. On August 2, 2002, this matter was consolidated with the related matters set forth in the following two paragraphs. In light of the September 9, 2002 transaction in which the Company divested all of its equity and debt ownership interests in Engage, on October 18, 2002, all parties submitted to the Court a stipulated order agreeing to dismiss, with prejudice as to the named plaintiffs only, this matter as moot. The stipulated order further provides that the Court shall retain jurisdiction over the matter to consider any application for attorney’s fees and expenses submitted by plaintiffs or their counsel.
 
On May 21, 2002, a purported class action lawsuit was filed with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, Engage and the individual members of the Board of Directors of Engage (David S. Wetherell, George A. McMillan, Christopher M. Cuddy, Edward M. Bennett and Peter J. Rice). The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint requests, among other things, that the Court (i) enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, the Merger, (ii) rescind the Merger (in the event it is consummated) or grant the plaintiffs rescissory damages, (iii) direct that the defendants account to plaintiffs for all damages caused to the plaintiffs and any special benefits obtained as a result of alleged unlawful conduct, and (iv) award the plaintiffs the costs and disbursements (including attorneys’ fees) relating to this action. On August 2, 2002, this matter was consolidated with the related matters set forth in the following and preceding paragraphs. In light of the September 9, 2002 transaction in which the Company divested all of its equity and debt ownership interests in Engage, on October 18, 2002, all parties submitted to the Court a stipulated order agreeing to dismiss, with prejudice as to the named plaintiffs only, this matter as moot.

On May 21, 2002, another purported class action lawsuit was filed with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, Engage and Robert W. Bartlett, Jr., Edward A. Bennett, Christopher M. Cuddy, George A. McMillan, Peter M. Rice, David S. Wetherell and Andrew J. Zimmon (officers and directors of Engage). The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint requests, among other things, that the Court (i) enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, the Merger, (ii) rescind the Merger (in the event it is consummated) or grant the plaintiffs rescissory damages, (iii) direct that the defendants account to plaintiffs for all profits and any special benefits obtained as a result of alleged unlawful conduct, and (iv) award the plaintiffs the costs and disbursements (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees) relating to this action.

The Company is also a party to litigation which it considers routine and incidental to its business. Management does not expect the results of any of these actions to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation or financial condition.
 
(16)    Retirement of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
 
On June 29, 1999, CMGI completed a $375 million private placement of 375,000 shares of newly issued Series C Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock (Series C Preferred Stock). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock had a stated value of $1,000 per share. The Company paid a semi-annual dividend of 2% per annum, in arrears, on June 30 and December 30 of each year at the Company’s option, in cash or through an adjustment to the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Stock. Such adjustments, also increased the number of shares into which the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock was segregated into three separate tranches of 125,000 shares each. The shares in each tranche had identical rights and preferences to shares in other tranches except as to conversion price. The three tranches were convertible into common stock at prices of $45.72, $37.58 and $37.66 per share prior to June 30, 2002. The conversion price calculated for each tranche was also subject to adjustment for certain actions taken by the Company. The Series C Preferred Stock was convertible into common stock by the holders any time and would automatically convert into common stock on June 30, 2002 at a conversion price equal to the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock on the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to June 30, 2002. The Series C Preferred Stock was redeemable at the option of the holders upon the occurrence of certain events.
 
In November 2001, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to privately negotiated stock exchange agreements with the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. Under these agreements, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock for aggregate consideration consisting of approximately $100.3 million in cash, approximately 34.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock, and an obligation to deliver, no later than December 2, 2002, approximately 448.3 million shares of PCCW stock.
 
In addition, due to the delayed delivery obligation with respect to the PCCW shares, the Company agreed to make cash payments to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, on the dates and in the aggregate amounts as follows: approximately $3.7 million on February 19, 2002, approximately $3.5 million on May 17, 2002, approximately $3.8 million on August 19, 2002, approximately $3.7 million on November 19, 2002 and approximately $0.5 million on December 2, 2002. The obligation to make payments ceases upon delivery of the PCCW shares and any payment due for the period during which the PCCW shares are delivered to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will be reduced on a pro rata basis. The Company has made the first three cash payments to the former shareholders as scheduled.
 
As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized an increase in the stockholders’ equity section of the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of approximately $63.5 million. The gain was calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock less the carrying value of the consideration exchanged at the date of the transaction. The carrying value of the consideration exchanged approximated fair market value at the date of the transaction. Additionally, the Company has reclassified its investment in PCCW shares from “Other assets” to “Trading security” and, in accordance with SFAS No. 115, recognized a pre-tax gain in the Consolidated Statements of Operations of approximately $19.6 million. The liability related to the obligation to deliver the PCCW stock is carried at market value and has been classified as a current note payable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in market value of this note payable are recorded through “Interest expense” and offset any changes in the market value of the PCCW stock, which are reflected in “Other gains (losses), net,” resulting in no net impact to the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effect of subsidiaries’ equity transactions during fiscal 2000 was primarily related to the equity transactions of Engage, AltaVista, ProvisionSoft and NaviSite. In April 2000, Engage completed its acquisition of Flycast and Adsmart from CMGI. As a result of this transaction, CMGI received approximately 64.3 million shares of Engage stock and the Company’s ownership percentage in Engage increased from approximately 81% to 87%.

As a result of these transactions, CMGI’s ownership in AltaVista decreased from approximately 82% to 78%. An increase of approximately $38.8 million has been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity as a result of these transactions. During April and May 2000, ProvisionSoft completed a private placement of approximately 2.7 million preferred shares raising approximately $60.0 million in net proceeds. With these transactions, the Company’s ownership percentage in ProvisionSoft decreased from 100% to approximately 85%. An increase of approximately $30.0 million, net of deferred income taxes, has been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity as a result of ProvisionSoft’s private placement of its stock. In May 2000, CMGI invested $50.0 million in NaviSite in exchange for approximately 981,000 shares of NaviSite common stock. As a result of the transaction, the Company’s ownership percentage in NaviSite remained approximately 70%. A decrease of approximately $14.7 million, net of deferred income taxes, has been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity as a result of the transaction.
 
During fiscal 2000, the Company completed stock exchanges with four companies. In November 1999, the Company received approximately 448.3 million shares of PCCW common stock in exchange for approximately 8.2 million shares of CMGI common stock.

Stock Option Plans
 
The Company currently awards stock options under three plans: the 2002 Non-Officer Employee Stock Incentive Plan (2002 Plan), the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (2000 Plan) which had replaced the 1986 Stock Option Plan (1986 Plan) and the 1999 Stock Option Plan For Non-Employee Directors (1999 Directors’ Plan), which replaced the 1995 Directors’ Plan (1995 Directors’ Plan). No options granted under the 1995 Directors’ Plan remain in effect. Options granted under the 2002 Plan and the 2000 Plan are generally exercisable in equal cumulative installments over a four-to-ten year period beginning one year after the date of grant.
 
In addition, the Company assumed several stock option plans of companies which were acquired during fiscal 2000. Options to purchase a total of approximately 10.2 million shares of CMGI common stock were assumed. The terms and conditions of these assumed options were consistent with the terms of the plans under which they were initially granted by the acquired companies.
 
In March 2002, the Board of Directors adopted the 2002 Plan, pursuant to which 4,150,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events). In May 2002, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2002 Plan in which the total shares available under the plan were increased to 19,150,000.
 
Under the 2002 Plan, non-statutory stock options or restricted stock awards may be granted to the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ employees, other than those who are also officers or directors, as defined. The Board of Directors administers this plan, approves the individuals to whom options will be granted, and determines the number of shares and exercise price of each option. Outstanding options under the 2002 Plan at July 31, 2002 expire through 2009.
 
In October 2000, the Board of Directors adopted the 2000 Plan, pursuant to which 15,500,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events). No further option grants will be made under the 1986 Plan, however all outstanding options under the 1986 Plan remain in effect.
 
Under the 2000 Plan, non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options may be granted to the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ employees, consultants, advisors or directors, as defined. The Board of Directors administers this plan, approves the individuals to whom options will be granted, and determines the number of shares and exercise price of each option. Outstanding options under the 2000 Plan at July 31, 2002 expire through 2009.

The 1999 Directors’ Plan, approved in fiscal year 2000, replaces the Company’s 1995 Directors’ Plan. Pursuant to the 1999 Directors’ Plan, 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were initially reserved. Each eligible director who is elected to the Board for the first time will be granted an option to acquire 200,000 shares of common stock (the “Initial Option”). Each Affiliated Director who ceases to be an Affiliated Director and is not otherwise an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates will be granted, on the date such director ceases to be an Affiliated Director but remains as a member of the Board of Directors, an Initial Option to acquire 200,000 shares of common stock under the plan. Each Initial Option will vest and become exercisable as to 1/36th of the number of shares of common stock originally subject to the option on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the optionee serves as a director on such monthly anniversary date. On each anniversary of the grant of the Initial Option to an eligible director, each eligible director will automatically be granted an option to purchase 24,000 shares of common stock (an “Annual Option”), provided that such eligible director serves as a director on the applicable anniversary date. Each Annual Option will vest and become exercisable on a monthly basis as to 1/12th of the number of shares originally subject to the option commencing on the 37th month after the grant date, provided that the optionee then serves as a director on such monthly anniversary date. Outstanding options under the 1999 Directors’ Plan at July 31, 2002 expire through 2012.

SFAS No. 123 sets forth a fair-value based method of recognizing stock-based compensation expense. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply APB No. 25 to account for its stock-based compensation plans. Had compensation cost for awards in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value method set forth under SFAS No. 123, the pro forma effect on the Company’s net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows:

(19)    Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
On October 4, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan). The purpose of the Plan is to provide a method whereby all eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of common stock. Under the Plan, employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions. During fiscal year 2001, the Plan was amended to reserve 1.0 million shares for issuance thereunder.
 
During fiscal year 2002, the Plan was further amended to increase the aggregate number of shares to 3.0 million.
 
At the beginning of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters, commencing with February 1, 1995, participants are granted an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an option price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on either the first business day or last business day of the applicable quarterly period, whichever is lower.
 
Employees purchased 614,229, 752,705, and 118,719 shares of common stock of the Company under the Plan during fiscal years 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

Subsequently reported tax benefits relating to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of July 31, 2002 will be allocated as follows:
 
    
(in thousands)

1,194,728
    

 
The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended July 31, 2002 was a decrease of $122.6 million. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against the gross deferred tax asset since management believes that after considering all the available objective evidence, both positive and negative, historical and prospective, with greater weight given to historical evidence, it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized.
 
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes of approximately $1.1 billion and $959.5 million, of which, approximately $799.2 million and $661.3 million, respectively, are subject to significant limitations. The federal net operating losses will expire from 2009 through 2022 and the state net operating losses will expire from 2003 through 2017. A portion of the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards is subject to significant limitation, including losses of majority owned subsidiaries not included in

the Company’s consolidated tax return group, losses that are subject to limitations under the separate return limitation year rules and will only be available to offset future income of the subsidiaries that generated the losses, and losses attributable to the pre-acquisition periods of acquired subsidiaries. The utilization of net operating losses attributable to the pre-acquisition periods of acquired subsidiaries may be limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 as a result of prior ownership changes. An ownership change occurs when the ownership percentage of 5% or greater stockholders changes by more than 50% over a three-year period. As described in the Subsequent Events (note 23) CMGI divested of its interest in Engage, NaviSite and Equilibrium. These transactions severely limit the net operating losses attributable to these companies. Furthermore, pre-acquisition net operating losses may not be utilizable in future years in the event of a substantial discontinuation of the acquired business within two years of the acquisition date.
 
Income tax expense attributable to income (loss) from continuing operations differs from the computed expense computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35 percent to pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations as a result of the following:

On September 9, 2002, the Company divested all of its equity and debt ownership interests in Engage. Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, the Company transferred to Engage approximately 148.4 million shares of common stock of Engage held by the Company, representing approximately 76% of the issued and outstanding shares of Engage, and cancelled approximately $60 million of debt, including all convertible debt, owed to the Company by Engage. In consideration of the equity transfer and debt cancellation, Engage, among other things, (i) paid to the Company $2.5 million in cash, (ii) agreed to pay the Company up to an additional $6.0 million, comprised of a senior secured promissory note due in September 2006 and earnout payments commencing in fiscal year 2004, and (iii) issued to the Company a warrant for the purchase of up to 9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Engage common stock, at an exercise price of $.048 per share.
 
On September 11, 2002, the Company sold all of its equity and debt ownership interests in NaviSite to ClearBlue. Under the terms of the Note and Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to ClearBlue (i) approximately 71.0 million shares of common stock of NaviSite held by the Company, (ii) warrants to purchase approximately 5.0 million shares of common stock of NaviSite, and (iii) the 12% Convertible Note issued to the Company by NaviSite, representing $10.0 million aggregate principal amount plus all accrued interest thereon. In consideration thereof, the Company received, among other things, 131,579 shares of common stock of ClearBlue.
 
On October 17, 2002, the Company sold all of its equity ownership interests in Equilibrium, to a group (the “Buyer”) led by the current management of Equilibrium.

In consideration thereof, the Company received, among other things, (i) a senior secured promissory note due in October 2005 in the principal amount of $1.5 million made by the Buyer, (ii) a warrant for the purchase of 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Equilibrium common stock, at an exercise price of $.01 per share, and (iii) a royalty-free, perpetual worldwide license to Equilibrium’s MediaRich software.
 
As a result of the Company’s divestiture of its interest in Engage, NaviSite and Equilibrium, tax loss carryforwards existing at the time of the transactions will be severely limited under IRC Section 382 (see note 20).
 
On November 1, 2002 the Company’s common stock will commence trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol “CMGI”. Prior to such date, the Common Stock traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the same symbol.

EXHIBIT 10.20 FIRST AMENDMENT TO OFFER LETTER THIS FIRST AMENDMENT ("First Amendment") to the Offer Letter dated November 15, 2001 by and between AltaVista Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and James Barnett is entered into as of this 24th day of June, 2002 (the "Original Offer Letter"). WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend the Original Offer Letter to provide Mr. Barnett with a special incentive to maximize the value of the Company; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and agreed, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. The Original Offer Letter is hereby amended by adding the following new provisions. "In the event the Company experiences a Change of Control, you will have the right (subject to the conditions set forth below) to receive a cash payment equal to 2% of the total proceeds (subject to the terms and conditions set forth below) received by the Company or its stockholders. Proceeds placed in escrow for indemnification or other such purposes will be valued when released from escrow and you will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to 2% of the amount released from escrow, subject to the vesting and other terms and conditions described below) (the "Barnett Special Bonus"). The value of any securities traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange which are received by the Company or its stockholders as part of a Change of Control transaction will be determined at the time the securities are received by the Company or its stockholders. The Barnett Special Bonus shall be due and payable at the closing of the transaction giving rise to the Change of Control, except for any portion of the Barnett Special Bonus from proceeds placed in escrow, which shall be due and payable concurrently with the release of such proceeds. Contingent proceeds, commonly referred to as an "earn out", will not be deemed to be part of the Barnett Special Bonus and you will not be entitled to receive a percentage of any such amounts, unless you are employed by the Company or its successor at the time such contingent proceeds are earned (the "Earn Out Date"). This right to receive the Barnett Special Bonus shall vest as follows: beginning on your original hire date of September 1, 2001, 1/36 of the Barnett Special Bonus shall vest for each month of service until fully vested on September 1, 2004. Notwithstanding the immediately prior sentence, the vesting of this right shall automatically accelerate in full if you are employed by the Company at the time of any Change of Control or if, during the 180 days preceding any Change of Control, your employment should be terminated for any reason other than for Cause, or if you should terminate your employment for Good Reason. This right to receive the Barnett Special Bonus shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the date you were originally hired as an employee by the Company (the "Special Bonus Expiration Date"). Your vested portion, if any, of the Barnett Special Bonus shall continue to be outstanding

until the Special Bonus Expiration Date if, prior to a Change of Control (x) your employment is terminated for any reason other than for Cause or (y) you should terminate your employment for any reason including Good Reason. The Barnett Special Bonus shall be based on the gross amount of proceeds received by the Company or its stockholders, net of amounts owed to investment bankers and attorneys in connection with the Change of Control transaction. You shall not be permitted to assign the Barnett Special Bonus, except that you may assign the Barnett Special Bonus to a revocable trust of which you are the grantor, and you may make a testamentary disposition of the Barnett Special Bonus to your spouse. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Barnett Special Bonus shall automatically terminate if you are terminated for Cause." 2. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to ensure that the rights granted under the Original Offer Letter and this First Amendment to Offer Letter are effective and that you enjoy the benefits thereof and hereof to the extent that you are entitled to them. The Company will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms required to be performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of the Original Offer Letter and this First Amendment to Offer Letter and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary, appropriate or reasonably requested in order to protect your rights thereunder and hereunder against impairment. 3. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Offer Letter. 4. Except as expressly modified by this First Amendment, the Original Offer Letter shall remain in full force and effect. This First Amendment and the Original Offer Letter (and those documents and agreements referenced herein and therein) constitute the entire agreement relating to the subject matter hereof. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this First Amendment as of the date first written above. ALTAVISTA COMPANY /s/ David S. Wetherell - ---------------------- Name: David S.

EXHIBIT 10.27 EXECUTIVE RETENTION AGREEMENT THIS EXECUTIVE RETENTION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") by and between CMGI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") headquartered 100 Brickstone Square, Andover, Massachusetts and Peter L. Gray (the "Executive"), is made as of August 28, 2002. WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has determined that Executive plays a critical role in the operations of the Company; and WHEREAS, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued employment and dedication of the Executive. NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement for and in consideration of the Executive remaining in its employ, the Company agrees that the Executive shall receive the severance benefits set forth in this Agreement in the event the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated under the circumstances described below. 1. Not an Employment Contract. The Executive acknowledges that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Company any obligation to retain the Executive as an employee and that this Agreement does not prevent the Executive from terminating his employment. Executive understands and acknowledges that he is an employee at will and that either he or the Company may terminate the employment relationship between them at any time and for any reason. 2. Severance Pay. (a) Severance Pay Following a Change in Control. In the event a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs and, within one (1) year thereafter, the employment of the Executive is terminated by the Company for a reason other than for Cause (as defined below) or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined below), then the Company shall pay to the Executive (as severance pay) a lump sum payment equal to his then current base salary multiplied by two (2), within 30 days after the Termination Date (as defined below). The Company shall also pay to the Executive as severance pay (as soon as practicable after determination of the level of payouts under the Company's bonus plan for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs) an amount equal to the Bonus (as defined below) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of complete months that the Executive was employed by the Company during the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs and the denominator of which shall be twelve (12). Additionally, on the Executive's last day of employment, the vesting of each of the stock options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company set forth on Exhibit A hereto shall be accelerated in full, such that the Executive shall be entitled to exercise such stock options (in accordance with the exercise terms and conditions set forth in the option agreement and/or plan pursuant to which such stock options were granted) to the same extent as he would have been entitled had he been continuously employed by the Company until the end of the vesting period related to each such stock option. The Executive agrees that after the Termination Date, but prior to payment of the severance pay, bonus and acceleration of stock options called for by this paragraph, he shall execute a release, based on the Company's standard form severance agreement, of any and all claims he may have against the Company and its officers, employees, directors, parents and affiliates.

Executive understands and agrees that the payment of the severance pay, bonus and the acceleration of options called for by this paragraph are contingent on his execution of the previously described release of claims. In the event of any termination of employment giving rise to a severance payment pursuant to this Section 2(a), with respect to the options set forth on Exhibit A, the Executive shall have the right to exercise any vested options within a 12-month time period following such termination of employment, unless the options terminate sooner by the terms of the underlying option agreement. (b) Severance Pay Absent a Change in Control. In the event the employment of the Executive is terminated by the Company for a reason other than for Cause (as defined below), then the Company shall continue to pay to the Executive (as severance pay), his regular bi-weekly base salary as in effect on the Executive's last day of employment (exclusive of bonus or any other compensation), for one (1) year following the Termination Date (as defined below). If in connection with such termination, the Executive receives WARN notice which entitles him to 60 days of salary continuance and benefits ("WARN Benefits") and the Company does not require the Executive to work during such 60 day time period, in addition to the WARN Benefits the Executive will be entitled to ten (10 months) of severance pay at his then-current base salary (which shall be a total of 1 year of base salary in total). The Company shall also pay to the Executive as severance pay (as soon as practicable after determination of the level of payouts under the Company's bonus plan for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs) an amount equal to the Bonus (as defined below) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of complete months that the Executive was employed by the Company during the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs and the denominator of which shall be twelve (12). Unless the parties agree otherwise, the severance pay provided for in the first sentence of this Section 2(b) shall be paid in installments, in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices. The Executive agrees that after the Termination Date, but prior to payment of the severance pay and bonus called for by this paragraph, he shall execute a release, based on the Company's standard form severance agreement, of any and all claims he may have against the Company and its officers, employees, directors, parents and affiliates. Executive understands and agrees that the payment of the severance pay and bonus called for by this paragraph are contingent on his execution of the previously described release of claims. In the event of any termination of employment giving rise to a severance payment pursuant to this Section 2(b), with respect to the options set forth on Exhibit A, the Executive shall have the right to exercise any vested options within a 12-month time period following such termination of employment, unless the options terminate sooner by the terms of the underlying option agreement. (c) Sole Remedy. The payment to the Executive of the amounts payable under this Section 2 (and applicable acceleration of options) shall constitute the sole remedy of the Executive in the event of a termination of the Executive's employment by the Company or a resignation by the Executive that results in payment of benefits under this Section 2. 3. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (a) "Bonus" shall mean the amount that the Executive would have been entitled to receive under the Company's bonus plan in effect for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurred, if the Termination Date had not occurred and the Executive had been employed for the entire fiscal year, determined in accordance with the terms of such bonus plan. (b) "Cause" shall mean a good faith finding by the Board of Directors of the Company after giving the Executive an opportunity to be heard, of: (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct by - 2 -

(d) "Change in Control" shall mean the consummation of any of the following events during the Employment Period: (i) a sale, lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (ii) a sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, sale of assets, stock purchase, contribution or other similar transaction (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations or other entity, or any other corporate reorganization, where the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such event do not retain (in substantially the same percentages) beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of and interest in the successor entity or the entity that controls the successor entity, provided, however, that no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred due to the conversion or payment of any equity or debt instrument of the Company which is outstanding on the date hereof.

(f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any corporation with which or into which the Company may be merged or which may succeed to its assets or business, provided, however, that the obligations of the Executive are personal and shall not be assigned by him or her. (g) Waivers. No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any right on any other occasion. (h) Captions. The captions of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit or affect the scope or substance of any section of this Agreement. (i) Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.

The term of the Lease shall expire on August 31, 2005. 2. Premises. Commencing on June 1, 2002, the Third Floor Reduction Space and the Common Area Space shall be subtracted from the Current Premises and thereafter, the Premises shall include only the space on the first and second floors (excluding the Common Area Space), consisting of approximately fifty-five thousand (55,000) rentable square feet, as shown on Exhibit B. If, on or before June 30, 2002, Landlord enters into a lease with Ingenuity for the Second Floor Reduction Space, the Premises shall be further reduced by subtracting the Second Floor Reduction Space and the Additional Common Area Space as of the later of (i) June 1, 2002 or (ii) the date of execution of the lease with Ingenuity, and thereafter the Premises shall include only the first floor and the remaining space on the second floor together consisting of approximately forty-six thousand nine hundred fifty-one (46,951) rentable square feet as shown on Exhibit B.

Subject to the provisions of paragraph 17, Landlord shall keep and maintain the roof, structural elements, exterior walls of the building constituting the Project, the heating and air conditioning systems, the building access/security system, the fire-life safety system and the Common Area (including, without limitation, the parking areas, landscaping and all amenities located outside the building and the Common Areas in the building) in good order and repair. Tenant waives all rights under and benefits of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941, and 1942 and under any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. The cost of the repairs and maintenance which are the obligation of Landlord hereunder, including without limitation, maintenance contracts and supplies, materials, equipment and tools used in such repairs and maintenance shall be a common area charge and Tenant shall pay its percentage share of such costs to Landlord as provided in paragraph 16; provided, however, that if any repairs or maintenance is required because of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, or its agents, employees or invitees, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the full cost of such repairs or maintenance. Notwithstanding the above, the cost of roof replacement and structural repairs to the building shall be amortized over its useful life (including interest at a rate of two percent (2%) over the then current Prime Rate as published by the Wall Street Journal) and the amortized cost shall be included within common area charges and Tenant shall pay its proportionate share thereof as provided in paragraph 16 of this lease." 8. Utilities and Services. From and after June 1, 2002, Paragraph 12 of the Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: "Landlord shall furnish to the Premises and to the Project, the following utilities and services: (i) water, gas and electricity reasonably suitable for the intended use of the Premises and the Project, twenty-four (24) hours every day of the 5

week, (ii) heat and air conditioning reasonably suitable for the comfortable use and occupation of the Premises and the Project during business hours, and (iii) refuse collection and janitorial services. Tenant agrees that at all times it will cooperate fully with Landlord and abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements that Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to provide heating, ventilating and air conditioning to all or any portion of the Premises outside of Business Hours if requested by Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual costs in so providing such service as reasonably estimated by Landlord. Business Hours shall mean: Monday through Friday, excluding generally observed national holidays, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Tenant shall arrange for and pay for all telephone, and all other services supplied to or consumed on the Premises and not provided by Landlord. In the event that any service is not separately metered or billed to the Premises, the cost of such utility service or other service shall be a common area charge and Tenant shall pay its percentage share of such cost to Landlord as provided in paragraph 16. In addition, the cost of all utilities and services furnished by Landlord to the Premises and to the Project shall be a common area charge and Tenant shall pay its percentage share of such costs to Landlord as provided in paragraph 16, except as such costs may be specifically allocated otherwise herein. Tenant shall pay directly to Landlord (and such amount shall not be included as a common area charge) for any water, gas, electricity or HVAC usage that is separately metered to the Premises or any part thereof. If Tenant's use of any such utility or service is materially in excess of the average furnished to the other tenants of the Project, and such utility or service is not separately metered, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand, as additional rent, the full cost of such excess use, as reasonably determined by Landlord, or Landlord may cause such utility or service to be separately metered, in which case Tenant shall pay the full cost of such utility or service and reimburse Landlord upon demand for the cost of installing the separate meter. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, (i) the Palo Alto utility bill will be transferred into Landlord's name on June 1, 2002; (ii) the existing separate electric meter for the third floor will be segregated into a separate electricity bill [this meter will track the electricity consumption on the third floor (excluding the air conditioning unit) and none of this bill will be charged to Tenant]; (iii) Landlord will cause to be installed, at Landlord's expense, a private meter measuring the kilowatt-hours 6

used by the air conditioning unit serving the third floor; (iv) Landlord will cause to be installed, at Landlord's expense, a private meter measuring the kilowatt-hours used for the outside lights; (v) the cost of electricity used by the third floor air conditioning unit (to be charged to the third floor tenants) and the outside lights (to be charged as a common area charge on a percentage basis) will be deducted from the main electricity bill and the remaining balance after such deductions will be allocated to Tenant; (vi) if Ingenuity enters into a lease with Landlord for a portion of the second floor, a monthly amount for electrical usage shall be established based on a standard usage of electricity for office space of $.15/sf/mo of rentable area, based on Business Hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., plus an after hours charge of $25/hr. and such amount shall be charged to Ingenuity with a corresponding deduction from the main electricity bill for which Tenant is responsible in clause (v) above. Landlord may revise the estimated utility charges from time to time, as reasonably required to fully cover such costs in advance. Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason of, the failure of any person or entity to furnish any of the foregoing services when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any character, governmental moratoriums, regulations or other governmental actions, or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this lease because of any such failure, and no eviction of Tenant shall result from such failure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this lease, if: (a) any services or utilities are interrupted or discontinued due to Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct and the Premises are untenantable as a result of such interruption or discontinuance, and (b) Tenant shall have given written notice respecting such interruption or discontinuance to Landlord, and Landlord shall have failed to cure such interruption or discontinuance within three (3) business days after receiving such notice, then Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of rent to the extent that Tenant's use of the Premises is thereafter prevented by such interruption or discontinuance." 9. Common Area; Parking. Paragraph 15 of the Lease is hereby amended to add the Common Area Space (and the Additional Common Area Space if the square footage is reduced to 46,951 square feet) as Common Area under the Lease. 7

From and after June 1, 2002, the first sentence of the third subparagraph of paragraph 15 of the Lease is hereby amended to read as follows: "Tenant shall have the non exclusive use of (i) one hundred seventy-nine (179) parking spaces in the common area of the Project if the Modified Premises consist of 55,000 square feet, and (ii) one hundred fifty-three (153) parking spaces in the common area of the Project if the Modified Premises consist of 46,951 square feet, as designated by Landlord from time to time; provided that Landlord and Landlord's agents, contractors and employees shall have the right to use such parking areas as reasonably necessary to fulfill Landlord's obligations under this lease." 10. Common Area Charges. A new subparagraph is added to the end of paragraph 16 as follows: "If the occupancy of the Project, during any part of any calendar year is less than one hundred percent (100%), Landlord may make an appropriate adjustment of the variable components of common area charges for that year, as reasonably determined by Landlord using sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of common area charges that would have been incurred had the Project been one hundred percent (100%) occupied. This amount shall be considered to have been the amount of common area charges for that calendar year. For purposes of this subparagraph, "variable components" include only those component expenses that are affected by variations in occupancy levels." 11. Security Deposit. Commencing on June 1, 2002 the amount of the Letter of Credit required under paragraph 4(e) of the Lease shall be reduced to: (i) Eight Hundred Ninety-Three Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Nine and 16/100 Dollars ($893,279.16) if the Modified Premises consist of 55,000 square feet, and (ii) Seven Hundred Sixty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Fifty-One and 82/100 Dollars ($762,551.82) if the Modified Premises consist of 46,951 square feet. 12. Lease Modification Fee. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord's entering into this Amendment, reducing the lease term, reducing the size of the Premises and terminating future rent obligations for the period after the Modified Lease Termination Date shall result in a significant financial benefit to Tenant in excess of the consideration specified below. As consideration therefor, Tenant shall: 8

(a) Concurrent with Tenant's execution of this Amendment: (1) Pay to Landlord the sum of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) (consisting of the $4,000,000 cash security deposit currently held by Landlord and an additional $2,000,000 in immediately available funds); (2) Transfer to Landlord 275,412 shares of CMGI stock (subject to existing restrictions) at no cost or charge to Landlord; (3) Issue and deliver a common stock purchase warrant for 1,000,000 shares of stock in AltaVista Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D; (4) Transfer title to and ownership of any and all furniture, fixtures and data cabling in the Current Premises (i.e., the entire building) as listed on Exhibit E attached hereto to Landlord free of all liens by Bill of Sale in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F; (b) Pay to Landlord within five (5) days after Landlord's request (i) the costs incurred by Landlord to demise the space leased to Ingenuity on the second floor (excluding specific tenant improvements for Ingenuity within the Ingenuity leased space) and (ii) brokers' commissions/fees payable in connection with the Ingenuity lease. 13. Cancellation of Option to Extend Term.

finder or other person representing or purporting to represent Tenant or Landlord, respectively, in connection with the Premises and the negotiation and execution of this Amendment. Tenant shall be responsible for and pay any and all broker commissions payable to Tenant's Broker. Landlord's Broker is not receiving a commission in connection with this transaction. 15. Use of Personal Property. Tenant shall have the right to use the personal property currently located in the Modified Premises and listed on Exhibit E attached ("Personal Property") and such Personal Property is deemed part of the Premises leased to Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall maintain the Personal Property in good condition and repair and Tenant's insurance obligations under paragraph 11 of the Lease shall apply to and over the Personal Property and Tenant's use thereof. 16. Building Systems.

Each Tenant will pay for their own access cards. Tenant shall deliver any surplus cards to Landlord. Commencing on June 1, 2002, Landlord will be responsible for the RFI fire monitoring contracts and maintenance of the fire monitoring system.

The Partnership is not hereby releasing any rights it may have against each of [***] and [***] (as defined in Section 3.4G) as a Defaulting Partner in respect of amounts which were required to be contributed by such Limited Partner to the Partnership in respect of periods prior to the Amendment Effective Date." 5. Amendment to Section 3.4. The following subsection G is hereby inserted at the end of Section 3.4: "G. [***] Partners and [***] Partners, each a Limited Partner ("[***]" and "[***]," respectively), defaulted in their obligation to contribute the installment of their Capital Commitments to the Partnership which were due and payable on August 1, 2001 (the "Default Date"), which installments were in the aggregate amount of $170,000 (the "Default Amount"). Provided that [***] and [***], on or before the Amendment Effective Date, (I) execute and deliver the Fifth Amendment and the LP Release contemplated by Section 5.2E of this Agreement (as amended by the Fifth Amendment), (II) pay (in the manner described below) to the Partnership the Default Amount plus interest thereon from the Default Date through the Amendment Effective Date at a rate of interest equal to 4.0% per annum (noncompounded), the Partnership will restore [***] and [***] to the status of non-Defaulting Partners, and release to [***] and [***] all amounts held for them in the escrow accounts established for Defaulting Partners pursuant to - 3 -

Section 3.4C (after deducting the amounts contemplated by the following sentence). On the Amendment Effective Date (and provided that [***] and [***] have delivered the items described in clause (I) above), the Partnership shall withdraw from the escrow accounts established for [***] and [***] pursuant to Section 3.4C of the Agreement, their respective shares of the Default Amount plus interest thereon (as described above), and such withdrawn amounts shall be distributed to the Limited Partners as contemplated by Section 5.2E (as amended by the Fifth Amendment). Following such withdrawal from such escrow accounts, [***] and [***] shall be deemed to have paid to the Partnership the amounts due pursuant to this Section 3.4G, and the Partnership shall be deemed to have released it rights described in the last sentence of Section 3.1 (as amended by this Fifth Amendment)." 6. Amendment to Section 5.2E. Section 5.2E of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding, at the end thereof, the following paragraph: "Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this Agreement (including without limitation, Section 5.3), in full satisfaction of the General Partner's liability under this Section 5.2E with respect to the distribution of Distributed Securities, the General Partner has contributed to the capital of the Partnership, in cash, $[***], which amount is held in the Escrow Account contemplated by Section 5.2F below, and which amount shall be distributed to the Limited Partners together with the Default Amount and interest thereon, if any, paid to the Partnership pursuant to Section 3.4G above (collectively, the "Settlement Amount"), in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, at the times provided in the following sentence, provided that interest paid on the Default Amount pursuant to Section 3.4G shall be distributed to the Limited Partners other than [***] and [***]. Each Limited Partner shall be entitled to his, her or its Pro Rata Share of such Settlement Amount on (i) the Amendment Effective Date, if such Limited Partner has signed and returned to the Partnership a release in the form and on the terms attached hereto as Exhibit 1 the ("LP Release") on or prior to such date, (ii) at the General Partner's discretion, on such date within 60 days after the Amendment Effective Date as a Limited Partner signs and returns to the Partnership an LP Release, or (iii) with respect to a Limited Partner who declines to sign an LP Release, upon the liquidation of the Partnership following its termination, provided that distributions under this clause (iii) may be made to a Limited Partner at such earlier time after the Amendment Effective Date as the General Partner may determine to be prudent and in the best interests of the Partnership in connection with the settlement of pending or Imminent litigation brought by such Limited Partner. For purposes of this Agreement, "Pro Rata Share" shall mean, in the case of each Limited Partner, the Capital Contributions of such Limited Partner divided by the sum of the Capital Contributions of all Limited Partners, provided that in the case of calculations with respect to interest paid on the Default Amount, the denominator shall be the Capital Contributions of all Limited Partners other than [***] and [***]. In all other respects, this Section 5.2E shall remain in full force and effect." - 4 -

7. Amendment to Section 5.2F. Section 5.2F of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding, at the end thereof, the following language: "Immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Date, the General Partner deposited $[***] in cash into the Escrow Account, and such amount shall be distributed at the times and in the manner described in Section 5.2E (as amended by the Fifth Amendment). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Agreement, from and after the Amendment Effective Date, the General Partner shall have no further obligations under this Section 5.2F with respect to the Distributed Securities. In all other respects, this Section 5.2F shall remain in full force and effect." 8. Amendment to Section 5.3.

Amendment to Section 5.6B. Section 5.6B of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: "B. From and after the Amendment Effective Date, Marketable Securities shall (i) if traded on a national securities exchange, be valued at the last sale price for such Marketable Securities on such exchange on the date of distribution (or if no distribution, as of the date of determination), or (ii) if the trading of such Marketable Securities is reported through the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System, such Marketable Securities shall be valued at the last closing "bid" price for such Marketable Securities as shown by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System on the date of distribution (or if no distribution, as of the date of determination)." 10. Addition of Section 5.10. The following Section 5.10 is hereby added to the Agreement, immediately following Section 5.9: "5.10 General Partner Distributions and Payments; Amendment Effective Date Distributions. A. From and after the Amendment Effective Date, the General Partner hereby waives its right to receive (i) any Incentive Distributions until such time as (x) the Limited Partners have received aggregate distributions from the Partnership pursuant to Article V, including distributions contemplated by Sections 5.2E and F (as amended hereby) and Section 5.10C, equal to the - 5 -

aggregate amount of their Capital Contributions to the Partnership (determined for this purpose, as if all amounts deposited into the escrow account established for Defaulting Partners pursuant to Section 3.4 had been distributed to the Defaulting Partners), and (y) it has waived, pursuant to this Section 5.10A, receipt of a total of $[***] of Incentive Distributions (the date on which the conditions in both clauses (x) and (y) have occurred, the "Waiver Date"), (ii) any associated allocations of Operating Income or Loss and Investment Gain or Loss to the extent attributable to the amounts waived pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 5.10A and (iii) any distributions upon liquidation in respect of its positive Capital Account to the extent of any portion of such Capital Account balance which is attributable to amounts waived pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 5.10A. From and after the Waiver Date, Incentive Distributions may be made to the General Partner, but only after (A) the LP Advisory Board (as defined in Section 6.6 below) has reviewed the proposed distribution and determined that it is in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as amended hereby and giving effect to the foregoing waiver, and (B) such distribution has been approved by Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners. B. From and after the date that the Limited Partners have received aggregate distributions from the Partnership which are equal to their aggregate Capital Contributions (determined, for this purpose, as if all amounts deposited into the escrow account established for Defaulting Partners pursuant to Section 3.4 had been distributed to such Defaulting Partners), the Partnership, upon the recommendation of the LP Advisory Board and with the prior approval of Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners, shall be authorized to cause the Partnership to pay, out of Partnership receipts, a bonus to the Principals (as defined in Section 6.4(a)), in such amounts as such Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners may determine.

The Partnership shall pay the fees and expenses described in clause (ii) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Fifth Amendment, up to the amount of the estimate contemplated by the preceding sentence." 11. Amendments to Section 6.4. Section 6.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: "If, on or before [***], any of [***], or any person who has been substituted for any of the foregoing individuals upon the recommendation of the LP Advisory Board and with the prior approval of Two - 6 -

At any time within ninety (90) days after receipt of notice of a Triggering Event, Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners may by an election in writing determine to put the Partnership into Continuity Mode. While in Continuity Mode, the General Partner shall continue to act on behalf of the Partnership to perform the functions of the General Partner with respect to the existing investments of the Partnership. At any time after commencement of the Continuity Mode (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners), Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners may by an election in writing remove the General Partner or dissolve the Partnership. Each of [***] agrees that, during the period from the Amendment Effective Date through [***], he shall be engaged in the activities contemplated by the second sentence of Section 7.1 (as amended by this Fifth Amendment), and, unless the Management Company becomes entitled [***], he shall not be entitled to receive out of amounts paid by the Partnership to the Management Company as management fees (or otherwise), [***], and that the Partnership [***] or any other person during such period (except pursuant to Section 5.10B).

If any Principal fails to pay any such amount when due, such Principal shall also be responsible for the payment of the Partnership's reasonable costs of collection with respect to such amount. As used herein, "Resignation" means a voluntary or involuntary termination of the applicable Principal's activities related to the management of the Partnership and the Foreign Fund, other than by reason of his death or ill health or as a result of the terminal illness of a spouse that causes such Principal to cease working in any professional capacity (including without limitation all work for the Partnership, any other @Ventures entity and otherwise)." 12. Amendment to Section 6.5C. (a) Section 6.5C of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof, the following language: "Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of the Management Contract to the contrary, with respect to all periods from and after February 1, 2002 through [***], the General Partner shall cause the Management Company to waive, and the Management Company by signing below hereby does waive, [***] Management Fees; provided however, that if, pursuant to Section 11.1(1)(y), the term of the Partnership is extended by the Limited Partners through [***] following a termination of @Ventures Expansion Fund, L.P.

If, pursuant to Section 11.1(1)(x), the term of the Partnership is extended, the Management Fee for any such extension period payable to the Management Company shall be an amount mutually acceptable to the Management Company and the Partnership (any such Partnership approval to require the consent of Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners), but in no event shall such fees exceed $[***] per year, and any such Management Fee shall be payable in semi-annual installments on January 1 and July 1 of each year during the extension period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Management Contract to the contrary, the Management Contract shall automatically terminate on the last day of the Partnership term determined in accordance with Section 2.5." - 8 -

Addition of Section 6.6. The following Section 6.6 is hereby added to the Agreement, immediately following Section 6.5: "6.6 LP Advisory Board. A. There shall be established for the Partnership and the Foreign Fund an LP Advisory Board, which shall consist of four persons, three of whom shall be designated by the Limited Partners of the Partnership, by action of Two-Thirds in Interest thereof (each a "Domestic Designee" and collectively, the "Domestic Designees"), and one of whom shall be designated by the limited partners of the Foreign Fund, by action of a majority in interest of the limited partners of the Foreign Fund (the "Foreign Designee"). Any Domestic Designee may be removed or replaced at any time, for any reason or no reason, only by action of Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners of the Partnership. The Foreign Designee may be removed or replaced at any time, for any reason or no reason, only by action of a majority in interest of the limited partners of the Foreign Fund.

A representative of CMG @Ventures III, LLC shall be entitled to attend and participate in all such meetings, but shall not be a member of the LP Advisory Board. C. The LP Advisory Board, working with the General Partner, shall establish requirements for periodic reports to be prepared by the General Partner and provided on a regular basis to all Limited Partners in addition to the reports required under the other provisions of this Agreement.

The General Partner shall disclose in reasonable detail to the LP Advisory Board any potential conflicts of interest occurring on or after the Amendment Effective Date in any transaction or relationship (I) between the Partnership on the one hand and the General Partner, the Management Company and/or a Limited Partner on the other hand, (II) between the Partnership, on the one hand, and CMGI, Inc. or any of its Affiliates on the other hand, in connection with any investment or restructuring of an existing investment in a portfolio company or other related transaction in which both the Partnership and CMGI, Inc. or any of its Affiliates has an investment (other than, in the case of CMGI, Inc. or its Affiliates, required co-investments made by CMG @Ventures III, LLC and CMG @Ventures Expansion, LLC), or (III) between the Partnership and any other person or entity that the General Partner concludes should be disclosed to the LP Advisory Board for purposes of this Section 6.6D. Before proceeding with any transaction or relationship involving any such conflict of interest, (i) the General Partner shall seek advice from the LP Advisory Board regarding the proposed transaction or relationship and (ii) the Limited Partners shall have approved the proposed transaction or relationship (in the manner provided in the following sentence). The General Partner shall notify the Limited Partners in writing of the proposed transaction or relationship, and unless, prior to the last day of the 10-Business Day period following such notice, Limited Partners whose aggregate Percentage of Contributed Capital equals or exceeds 33 1/3% of all Limited Partners' Percentage of Contributed Capital shall have objected in writing to the General Partner to the proposed transaction or relationship, the Limited Partners shall be deemed to have approved the proposed transaction or relationship. In the event the General Partner obtains the requisite Limited Partner consent for a matter giving rise to a conflict of interest, neither it nor the Management Company nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to the Partnership or any Limited Partner in respect of such matter for actions taken in good faith by them to the extent that (a) such actions comply with any conditions imposed by the Limited Partners who are deemed to have approved the matter (as provided above), (b) any information furnished to and relied upon by the LP Advisory Board or the non-objecting Limited Partners in connection with such matter does not include any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading - 10 -

Nothing in this Subsection 6.6D is intended to (nor shall it) bind CMGI and/or its Affiliates with respect to actions taken or proposed to be taken by it or them in connection with the matters described in clause (II) above. E. The LP Advisory Board shall have such responsibilities and authority, in addition to those set forth in this Section 6.6, as shall be specified in this Agreement (as amended hereby); provided, however, that in no event shall the LP Advisory Board, any Domestic Designee or Foreign Designee, or any Limited Partner of which such designee is a representative be deemed by virtue of its role with respect to the LP Advisory Board to take part in the management or control of the Partnership's affairs or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Partnership or any other Partner or person. F. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, (I) in order for the LP Advisory Board to make a recommendation with respect to the Foreign Fund, any decision of the LP Advisory Board shall require the approval of the Foreign Designee (and for this purpose the vote of the Domestic Designees on any matter shall be disregarded), and (II) in order for the LP Advisory Board to make a recommendation with respect to the Partnership, any decision of the LP Advisory Board shall require the approval of a majority in number of the Domestic Designees (and for this purpose the vote of the Foreign Designee on any matter shall be disregarded). G. Each Domestic Designee shall be entitled to indemnification from the Partnership in respect of actions or omissions taken by him in such capacity, to the same extent that an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Agreement, provided, however, that clauses (x) and (y) of the first sentence of Section 9.3 shall be deemed modified in the case of a Domestic Designee and its Affiliates to state that the only circumstance under which such Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification or release thereunder shall be if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such Indemnitee acted in bad faith. No Domestic Designee shall be liable to the Partnership or any other Partner for any act or omission taken or suffered by such Domestic Designee in good faith." 14. Amendment to Section 7.1. The first paragraph of Section 7.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: "The General Partner hereby agrees to use its best efforts in furtherance of the purposes and objectives of the Partnership and to devote to such purposes and objectives such of its time as shall be necessary for the management of the affairs of the Partnership.

Amendment to Section 7.3. The following language is hereby inserted at the end of Section 7.3: "The General Partner represents and warrants that, on the Amendment Effective Date there are, and prior to the Amendment Effective Date there have been, no side letters or similar arrangements ("Side Letters") between (X) (aa) the Partnership, (bb) the General Partner or (cc) CMGI, Inc. or its Affiliates, but with respect to CMGI, Inc. or any Affiliate solely in its capacity as a member of the General Partner or acting for or on behalf of the General Partner, on the one hand and (Y) any Limited Partner or any Affiliate of a Limited Partner, on the other hand, except for those Side Letters listed or described on Exhibit 4 hereto. The General Partner hereby undertakes to provide the Limited Partners, within ten (10) days after execution thereof, with copies of any Side Letters entered into after the Amendment Effective Date between (X) (aa) the Partnership, (bb) the General Partner or (cc) CMGI, Inc. or its Affiliates, but with respect to CMGI, Inc. or any Affiliate solely in its capacity as a member of the General Partner or acting for or on behalf of the General Partner, on the one hand and (Y) any Limited Partner or any Affiliate of a Limited Partner, on the other hand (any such Side Letter, a "Future Side Letter"). To the extent that any Future Side Letter relates to the interest of a Limited Partner in the Partnership, and establishes rights or benefits in favor of such Limited Partner or its Affiliates that are more favorable to such Limited Partner or its Affiliates than the rights or benefits that are established in favor of the other Limited Partners, then each of the other Limited Partners shall be entitled hereby to the same rights granted in any such Side Letter to the same extent as if such Limited Partner entered into an identical Side Letter with the Partnership, the General Partner or CMGI, Inc. or its Affiliate, as applicable (to the extent such rights are reasonably applicable to such other Limited Partner), unless the Limited Partner notifies the Partnership in writing to the contrary within 30 days after it receives a copy of such Side Letter. Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner represents and warrants that neither it nor the Management Company has: (I) provided to any Limited Partner any financial or nonfinancial incentive or inducement to execute the Fifth Amendment and/or the LP Release, other than the arrangements described in the Fifth Amendment; or (II) modified or agreed to modify the terms of the LP Release to be provided by any Limited Partner. - 12 -

Neither the General Partner nor the Management Company shall (I) provide to any Limited Partner any financial incentive or inducement to execute the Fifth Amendment and/or the LP Release, other than the arrangements described in the Fifth Amendment or (II) modify the terms of the LP Release to be provided by any Limited Partner; provided, however, that this sentence shall not, and is not intended to, prevent or prohibit the General Partner on its own behalf or on behalf of any other party (other than the Partnership) from: (x) providing payment of any amount to any person (including a Limited Partner) in connection with the settlement of any litigation proceeding to which the General Partner and/or any of its Affiliates is a party which has been commenced or is Imminent (as hereinafter defined) and the General Partner shall not be required to offer the benefits of any such payment to any Limited Partner pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 7.3; or (y) obtaining from a Limited Partner a release on such terms as the General Partner may in its sole discretion determine in connection with the settlement of any litigation proceeding to which the General Partner and/or any of its Affiliates is a party which has been commenced or is Imminent, provided that if any such release relates primarily to matters which are included in the definition of "Released Claims" (as defined in the LP Release) and such release is more favorable to the releasing party than the terms of the LP Release, the General Partner shall offer the same release terms to all Limited Partners who previously executed LP Releases. As used herein, a litigation proceeding shall be considered to be "Imminent" if the General Partner and/or its Affiliates have received a complaint from the plaintiffs, regardless of whether the complaint has actually been filed in a court of law. The proviso included in clause (y) shall not be applicable in the event of settlement of claims to the extent that such claims do not relate to matters which are included in the definition of "Released Claims" (as defined in the LP Release). If the General Partner provides to any Limited Partner any non-financial incentive or inducement to execute the Fifth Amendment and/or the LP Release, the General Partner shall disclose in writing to the Limited Partners such incentive or inducement as provided in the second paragraph of this Section 7.3, and provide to the Limited Partners the benefits of such non-financial incentive or inducement to the extent provided in said second paragraph of this Section 7.3." 16. Amendments to Section 11.1. (a) Section 11.1(1) is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: "(1) [***], provided that: (x) the term of the Partnership may be extended at the written request of the General Partner, for up to three one-year terms, provided that any such extension shall be effective only if approved by Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners; - 13 -

Amendment to Section 11.2. The second sentence of Section 11.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: "At any time during the wind up, liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership as provided in this Section 11.2, Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners may (i) remove the General Partner and replace it, at Partnership expense, with a liquidator, and/or (ii) require the General Partner and/or liquidator to use commercially reasonable efforts to set up a liquidating trust pursuant to Section 11.3 in order to accomplish an orderly liquidation of the Partnership's assets on commercially reasonable terms." 18. Consent to Amendment of Management Contract.

The Agreement is to be deemed amended by this Amendment only to the extent expressly provided in this Amendment, and in all other respects, the Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect. 22. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 23.

As used herein, a litigation proceeding shall be considered to be "Imminent" if the General Partner and/or its Affiliates have received a complaint from the plaintiffs, regardless of whether the complaint has actually been filed in a court of law.

EXHIBIT 10.71 AMENDMENT #8 TO LEASE 1. Parties. This Amendment, dated as of November 6, 2001, is between Andover Mills Realty Limited Partnership ("Landlord") and CMGI, Inc. ("Tenant"). 2. Recitals. 2.1 Landlord and Tenant have entered into Lease, dated as of April 12, 1999, for space in Brickstone Square in Andover, Massachusetts (as now or hereafter amended, the "Lease"). Unless otherwise defined, terms used in this Amendment have the same meanings as those used in the Lease. 2.2 Tenant wishes to lease a designated portion of the Premises as shown in Exhibit "B-8" attached hereto and incorporated herein (the "Specified Surplus Space"), with a rentable area agreed to contain 26,053 square feet, to Cambridge Soundworks, Inc., or one of its affiliates (the "New Tenant"), and has requested Landlord's help in the leasing and buildout process. In order to accomplish this and other matters, for $10.00 and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties agree and the Lease is amended as follows as of the date hereof, notwithstanding anything to the contrary: 3. Amendment. 3.1 For a term of six (6) months from the date of this Amendment (the "Surplus Term"), in order to help Tenant lease the Surplus Space, Tenant grants to Surplus Landlord the ongoing right from time to time to market and show the Space and negotiate and enter into a new lease with the New Tenant for the Specified Surplus Space (the "New Lease"), with a term of between five (5) and ten (10) years plus any extensions, and "Buildout Costs" and "New Tenant Costs" as set forth in Section 3.2(a) below. Landlord has no obligation to exercise any of these rights. The "Buildout Costs" means Landlord's good faith estimate of the third-party hard and soft costs of the improvements, modifications, and tenant allowances to be performed and/or paid for by the lessor in connection with or as a result of the initial buildout of Specified Surplus Space under that New Lease (the "Buildout"). 3.2 If Landlord enters into the New Lease for the Specified Surplus Space per Section 3.1, Landlord will notify Tenant in writing, and then: (a) Within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Tenant will pay to or as directed by Landlord the approved Buildout Costs for that New Lease as described in Section 3.1 above, and leasing commissions for that New Lease (collectively, the "New Tenant Costs") for ultimate payment by Landlord to the parties entitled thereto as and when due, in addition to any rent payable by Tenant under the Lease. Subject to the terms of this Amendment, the New Tenant Costs payable by Tenant hereunder will not exceed Eight Hundred Eighty-five Thousand Eight

Hundred Two Dollars ($885,802). (b) Within thirty (30) days thereafter, Tenant will remove all of Tenant's Property from the Specified Surplus Space and surrender vacant possession of the Specified Surplus Space to Landlord in the condition required by the Lease. Tenant's Property not removed by that date will be deemed abandoned by Tenant in favor of Landlord. If the New Lease is validly terminated before the "Start Date" (defined below), possession of the Specified Surplus Space will be returned to Tenant in its then "as-is" state and will continue to be part of the Premises subject to all of the terms of the Lease, Landlord will deliver to Tenant (or credit against rent owed by Tenant under the Lease) any security deposit from the New Tenant that has been delivered to and may be retained and applied Landlord under that New Lease, and Landlord will cooperate reasonably with Tenant (at no cost or Liabilities to Landlord) in Tenant's enforcement of any claims against the New Tenant under that New Lease. (c) Landlord will supervise the performance of the Buildout to be performed by the lessor under that New Lease, and at Tenant's request in each instance will reasonably cooperate with and periodically report to Tenant to keep Tenant informed as to the status of the Buildout, all at no additional charge to Tenant. As consideration for Landlord's agreement above, Tenant hereby waives and releases all claims of any type that it may have against Landlord or any of its affiliated persons or entities in connection with the Buildout (excluding any contractors or subcontractors), except for claims of Tenant resulting from Landlord's failure to pay or cause to be paid any Buildout Costs in excess of those for which Tenant is responsible hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord will cooperate reasonably with Tenant (at no cost or liability to Landlord) if Tenant wishes to assert claims against others in connection with the Buildout. In addition to any other rights of Landlord, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord, the New Tenant and their respective professionals, contractors, subcontractors and representatives will have the right to perform the Buildout and to enter the Specified Surplus Space and other necessary areas of the Premises as may be necessary in connection therewith. Subject to Section 3.2(b) above, once the New Lease is entered into Landlord will have no obligations to Tenant with respect to that Specified Surplus Space and Tenant will have no rights therein except as are specifically set forth herein. Subject to Section 3.4 below, Tenant's surrender of possession andlor the performance of the Buildout will not be deemed to be a termination of the Lease in whole or in part nor will they operate to relieve, reduce or waive any of Tenant's obligations under the Lease with respect to the payment of rent or otherwise. (d) Tenant will not be responsible for any costs for the New Lease in excess of the New Tenant Costs per Section 3.2(a) above unless Tenant fails to pay the New Tenant Costs or fails to vacate and surrender possession of space as and when required, or otherwise defaults hereunder or under the rest of the Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its timely payment in full of the New Tenant Costs and its surrender of vacant possession as and when required are material inducements to Landlord to enter into this Amendment, and Tenant's failure to do so will be a default under the Lease, and in addition to any other rights and remedies of Landlord, Tenant will be responsible for any Liabilities incurred by Landlord under that New Lease and/or in connection with that Specified Surplus Space resulting therefrom 3.3 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

3.4 Subject to the terms hereof, and despite the entry into the New Lease and the earlier surrender of possession, the Lease will continue for the Specified Surplus Space until the "Start Date" for that New Lease. The "Start Date" for that New Lease will be the date that the New Tenant under that New Lease accepts the Specified Surplus Space and occupies a substantial part of that space to conduct business, or the rent commencement date occurs under that New Lease, whichever is earlier. As of the Start Date: (a) the Lease will terminate and expire as to that Specified Surplus Space only (and no other space) and the agreed rentable area of the remainder of the Premises will be reduced by the rentable area of that Specified Surplus Space; (b) Tenant' s parking rights under the Lease will be reduced by 78 vehicles (26 of which will be assigned spaces), as shown in Exhibit "A-8" attached hereto; and (c) provided that Tenant has complied with Sections 3.2(a) and (b) above and is not otherwise in default, Tenant's Percentage will be reduced by 2.77% and Tenant's obligation to pay rent for that Specified Surplus Space for periods thereafter will terminate. 3.5 Amendment #6 to Lease, dated 4/17/2001, and Amendment #7 to Lease, dated 4/18/2001, both are deleted from the Lease and are null and void. 3.6 As a material inducement to Tenant to enter into this Amendment, Landlord agrees that, as of the date hereof, Tenant owes no amounts to Landlord except the rent due under the Lease and Tenant is not, to Landlord's knowledge, in default under the Lease. 3.7 As a material inducement to Landlord to enter into this Amendment Tenant agrees that, as of the date hereof, Landlord owes no amounts to Tenant under the Lease and Landlord is not, to Tenant's knowledge, in default under the Lease, and Tenant agrees, represents and warrants to Landlord that: Tenant has not leased, subleased, assigned or conveyed the Specified Surplus Space or its interests therein to anyone else and has not employed or engaged any brokers or agents in connection therewith or in connection with this Amendment, and in either case will not (and will not have the right or power to) do so during the Surplus Term. 3.8 The Lease remains in full force and effect, and except as set forth in this Amendment, the Lease remains unchanged. Time is of the essence in this Amendment and the rest of the Lease and holding over will not be permitted. Except for the representations and warranties specifically set forth in this Amendment, neither party has made nor relied on any representations and warranties of any type, express or implied, in connection with this amendment or its subject matter. Landlord and Tenant are not partners or joint venturers nor are they agents of the other. Landlord will not be deemed to have assumed any of Tenant's Liabilities by reason of Landlord's exercise of or failure to exercise any of its rights hereunder or under the rest of the Lease, and Landlord is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights hereunder or to exercise them in any particular manner, including, without limitation, showing, marketing or negotiating for the lease of any of the Specified Surplus Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may in its sole and absolute discretion show, market, negotiate or lease any or all of its own space in the Project to or with existing New Tenant or other prospective tenants before, during, after or in lieu of showing, marketing, negotiating or leasing any of the Specified Surplus Space, regardless of the effect on the leasing of the Specified Surplus Space, and without incurring any Liabilities to Tenant or

anyone else. On Landlord's written request from time to time, Tenant will promptly execute and deliver to Landlord amendments to this Lease and/or the existing Notice of Lease evidencing the termination of the Lease with respect to the Specified Surplus Space and the other matters provided for in this Amendment. Tenant's failure to execute and deliver such amendments will not be a condition to the effectiveness of such termination and the other matters provided for in this Amendment. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, intending to be legally bound, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date in Article 1 above. CMGI, INC., a Delaware corporation By: /s/ George A.

(b) As and when the LLC is required to contribute capital to any Fund, each Member shall contribute to the LLC his or its proportionate share of the amount required to be contributed by the LLC to such Fund, determined in the manner -12-

hereinafter provided. Each of the Members hereby acknowledges that it has received copies of the CMGI Fund Agreement, the Domestic Fund Agreement and the Foreign Fund Agreement, that it has read each of such Agreements, and understands the LLC's obligations thereunder, including without limitation, the LLC's obligations to make capital contributions to each of the Funds and to fund certain escrow accounts. (i) With respect to any routine call for capital by any Fund (which capital calls the Members acknowledge are generally, but not always, called for on a quarter annual basis), each Member shall contribute a portion of the total amount called for based on his Percentage Interest in the LLC on the date on which such capital is required to be contributed by the LLC to the Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Voting Managing Members may, in respect of any particular call for capital, determine to modify each Member's share of the contribution to be made by such Member to the LLC if the Voting Managing Members reasonably determine that the amounts called for by any Fund relate in whole or in part to a Follow-on Investment, in which case the portion of the contributions which relate to such Follow-on Investment shall be contributed by the Members in accordance with their respective Investment Percentage Interests in such Follow-on Investment. The Voting Managing Members may also make other equitable adjustments to the portion to be contributed by each Member to the LLC in respect of Investments to be made by the Funds to take into account similar factors. If any Member is admitted to the LLC during any calendar quarter, such Member shall be required to contribute to the LLC an amount equal to (x) the aggregate amount of the sum of (I) any contributions made by the other Members to the LLC during or with respect to such calendar quarter pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(i) plus (II) the unspent amount, if any, of the capital contributions made by the Members to the LLC in previous quarters multiplied by (y) such Member's Percentage Interest in the LLC. The amount so contributed by such Member shall be distributed to the other Members (exclusive of Members whose Percentage Interests have been reduced to zero), so that, following the admission of such additional Member, all Members will have contributed a portion of the amount described in clause (x) of the preceding sentence equal to their respective Percentage Interests in the LLC as in effect immediately following such admission. (ii) With respect to any amount required to satisfy the LLC's obligations under Section 5.2E of the Domestic Fund Agreement [clawback obligation], or Section 5.2E of the Foreign Fund Agreement [clawback -13-

obligation], each Member shall contribute a portion of the total amount called for based on the aggregate amount of distributions received by such Member from the LLC which are, in the reasonable judgment of the Voting Managing Members, attributable to the Domestic Fund and the Foreign Fund, respectively, as compared to the aggregate amount of distributions received by all Members from the LLC which are, in the reasonable judgment of the Voting Managing Members, attributable to the Domestic Fund and the Foreign Fund, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Member be obligated to contribute to the LLC any amount pursuant to this clause (ii) in excess of the total amount of distributions received by (or held in the Vesting Escrow for the benefit of) such Member from the LLC. The obligation of each Member to make contributions pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(ii) shall survive the withdrawal, resignation or default (as described in Section 3.01(e) below) of any Member, and the occurrence of an Event of Forfeiture of any Member. The LLC may contribute to the Domestic Fund or the Foreign Fund on behalf of any Member any amounts held in a Vesting Escrow on behalf of such Member, in respect of such Member's obligations under this Section 3.01(b)(ii). (iii) As and when the LLC is required to deposit amounts into the escrow account established pursuant to Section 5.2F of the Domestic Fund Agreement or Section 5.2F of the Foreign Fund Agreement, the Voting Managing Members may determine to call for contributions of cash to the LLC to enable the LLC to satisfy any such obligation. Each Member shall contribute a portion of the amount which the Voting Managing Members so determine to call, based on the aggregate amount of distributions received by such Member from the LLC which are, in the reasonable judgment of the Voting Managing Members, attributable to the Domestic Fund and the Foreign Fund, respectively, as compared to the aggregate amount of distributions received by all Members from the LLC which are, in the reasonable judgment of the Voting Managing Members, attributable to the Domestic Fund and the Foreign Fund, respectively. In no event shall any Member be obligated to contribute to the LLC any amount pursuant to this clause (iii) in excess of the total amount of distributions received by (or held in the Vesting Escrow for the benefit of) such Member from the LLC. The obligation of each Member to make contributions pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(iii) shall survive the withdrawal, resignation or default (as described in Section 3.01(e) below) of any Member, and the occurrence of an Event of Forfeiture of any Member. The LLC may contribute to the Domestic Fund or the Foreign Fund on behalf of any Member any amounts held in a Vesting Escrow on behalf of such Member, in respect of such Member's obligations under this Section 3.01(b)(iii). -14-

(c) The Voting Managing Members may call for capital for other LLC purposes as they may from time to time reasonably determine, and any capital called for pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) shall be contributed by the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests on the date on which such capital is called for. (d) The Voting Managing Members shall call for capital from all Members for the purposes specified in this Section 3.01 from time to time as needed. In connection with any such call, the Voting Managing Members shall provide to each Member notice of a call for capital (which notice may be given in writing or by electronic mail), which notice shall specify the aggregate amount called for from the LLC, a general statement of the purposes for which such capital call is being made, each Member's share of the total amount called for, and the date on which the capital contribution is due (which date shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, be not less than 10 days after the date of the notice). (e) Any contribution of capital which is not made when due shall bear interest at the prime rate of interest announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal plus 1% per annum, until paid in full. Without limiting the foregoing, if a Member fails to satisfy his, her or its capital contribution obligation as required under this Section 3.01 in a timely manner, the LLC may exercise any rights it may have under the Act or otherwise at law or in equity, and shall also have the rights provided in this Section 3.01(e). In any such event, a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members (determined exclusive of the Member which has defaulted in his capital contribution obligation) may (but shall not be obligated to) cause the LLC to deliver to such Member a notice ("Default Notice") making reference to the Member's failure to contribute capital to the LLC, and to this Section 3.01(e). If the defaulting Member fails to fund such capital contribution obligation within five business days after the date of delivery of the Default Notice, then an Event of Forfeiture shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Member, with the consequences specified in Section 3.04 below. (f) The LLC shall maintain written records indicating the amount of capital contributed by each Member to the LLC. (g) The LLC may elect to withhold from any amounts which are otherwise distributable to a Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement any amount which such Member may be required to contribute to the LLC pursuant to this Section 3.01. In the event the LLC so withholds, for all purposes of this Agreement the Member with respect to whom the withholding occurs shall be treated as if he had -15-

been distributed such amount in accordance with Article IV hereof and then recontributed such amount pursuant to this Section 3.01. 3.02 No Additional Capital. Except as provided in this Article III, no Member shall be obligated or permitted to contribute any additional capital to the LLC. No interest shall accrue on any contributions to the capital of the LLC, and no Member shall have the right to withdraw or to be repaid any capital contributed by it or to receive any other payment in respect of its interest in the LLC, including without limitation as a result of the withdrawal or resignation of such Member from the LLC, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. 3.03 Anticipated Operations of the LLC. (a) As and when any Fund acquires an Investment, the Managing Members shall create an Investment Schedule for such Investment, which shall be attached to this Agreement. The Investment Schedule for each Investment shall reflect (a) the Fund or Funds making the acquisition, (b) the Portfolio Company issuing the securities, (c) the Acquisition Date, (d) the number and class or series of shares of such securities, (d) the purchase price and/or other consideration payable by each Fund, (e) the Investment Percentage Interest of each of the Members in such Investment (determined in the manner hereinafter provided) and (f) such other information, if any, as the Managing Members may deem appropriate. (b) The Investment Percentage Interest of the Capital Member in each Investment (including Follow-on Investments) shall at all times equal 10%. (c) (i) Subject to Sections 3.03(c)(ii) and (iii) and 3.04, the Investment Percentage Interest of each Managing Member for whom an Event of Forfeiture has not occurred shall equal 90% multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall equal such Managing Member's Percentage Interest at the beginning of the calendar quarter in which the Investment was made (the "Applicable Quarter") and the denominator of which shall equal the aggregate Percentage Interests at the beginning of the Applicable Quarter for all Managing Members exclusive of those for whom an Event of Forfeiture has occurred. The Investment Percentage Interest of each Managing Member in each Investment shall be subject to reduction upon the occurrence of an Event of Forfeiture. (ii) Notwithstanding Section 3.03(c)(i), if any Fund makes a Follow-on Investment, the Investment Percentage Interests of the Managing Members in such Follow-on Investment shall be their Investment Percentage -16-

Interests then in effect for other investments in the same Portfolio Company (except that the Investment Percentage Interest in any Follow-on Investment for any Managing Member for whom an Event of Forfeiture has occurred shall be zero). (iii) Notwithstanding Section 3.03(c)(i), Brad Garlinghouse, David J. Nerrow, Jr. and Denise W. Marks, who were admitted to the LLC as of January 11, 1999, February 3, 1999 and March 1, 1999, respectively, shall be entitled to participate in those Investments made by the Fund prior to the respective dates on which they were admitted to the LLC, and their respective Investment Percentage Interests in such investments are reflected on the Investment Schedules with respect to such Investments, and all of the Members hereby consent to such participation. 3.04 Event of Forfeiture. (a) Each Managing Member's Percentage Interest and Investment Percentage Interest in each Investment are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of an Event of Forfeiture with respect to such Managing Member, as provided in this Section 3.04. In no event shall the provisions of this Section 3.04 be applicable to the interest of the Capital Member. (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Forfeiture with respect to a Managing Member: (i) Such Managing Member's Percentage Interest in the LLC shall, from and after the date of the Event of Forfeiture, be reduced to zero, and the Percentage Interest in the LLC of all other Managing Members (exclusive of any Managing Member for whom an Event of Forfeiture has occurred) shall be increased by an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the Percentage Interest of the Managing Member for whom the Event of Forfeiture has occurred (such increase to be allocated among them in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests immediately prior to the adjustment contemplated hereby). (ii) If the Event of Forfeiture is not a Clause Z Event, such Managing Member's Investment Percentage Interest in each Investment in which such Managing Member participates shall be reduced to a Percentage determined by multiplying the Managing Member's initial Investment Percentage Interest by such Managing Member's then Vested Percentage; and, if the Event of Forfeiture is a Clause Z Event, such Managing Member's Investment -17-

Percentage Interest in each Investment in which such Managing Member participates shall be reduced to zero. The Investment Percentage Interest in each Investment of all other Managing Members (exclusive of any Managing Member for whom an Event of Forfeiture has occurred) participating in such Investment shall be increased by an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the reduction in the Investment Percentage Interest of the Managing Member for whom the Event of Forfeiture has occurred (such increase to be allocated among them in proportion to their respective Investment Percentage Interests in such Investment immediately prior to the adjustment contemplated hereby). (iii) Any amount held in any Vesting Escrow for the benefit of such Managing Member shall be forfeited. Amounts so forfeited shall (subject to the provisions of this Section 3.04 and Section 4.02), on an Investment by Investment basis, be allocated to all other Managing Members (exclusive of any Managing Member for whom an Event of Forfeiture has occurred) participating in each such Investment (such distributions to be allocated among them in proportion to their respective Investment Percentage Interests in each such Investment immediately prior to the adjustment contemplated hereby). (iv) Such Managing Member (whether Voting or Non-Voting) shall have no right to vote on or participate in any decision or matter on or in which Managing Members are entitled to vote or participate and such Managing Member shall be disregarded for all purposes in determining the number of Managing Members which constitute a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members or the number or percentage or Managing Members entitled to vote on any matter, as the case may be. (c) A Managing Member with respect to whom an Event of Forfeiture has occurred: (i) shall not be entitled to participate in any Investment acquired by the LLC (including without limitation, a Follow-on Investment) made by the LLC after the date of the Event of Forfeiture; (ii) shall not be required to make subsequent capital contributions to the LLC from and after the date of the Event of Forfeiture, except for capital contributions required pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(ii) and (iii); and (iii) shall automatically and without any action on the part of the LLC, such Managing Member or any other Member, be deemed to have withdrawn from the LLC on the first date on which the LLC no longer owns any Investment in which such Managing Member has an Investment Percentage Interest. The Voting Managing Members shall make all determinations under this Section 3.04 (including determinations as to when and whether an Event of Forfeiture has occurred, and the reduction in the Percentage Interest and Investment Percentage -18-

Interests of the affected Managing Member in connection therewith), in their reasonable discretion. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest of Denise W. Marks shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.04 and such interest shall not be subject to forfeiture, reduction or modification upon the occurrence of an Event of Forfeiture with respect to Ms. Marks. ARTICLE IV DISTRIBUTIONS 4.01 Distribution of Distributable Cash and Property and Distributable Other Cash. (a) Distributable Cash and Property of the LLC shall be distributed on an Investment by Investment basis, at such times and in such amounts as the Voting Managing Members may in their reasonable discretion determine. Any non-cash distributions made to the Members shall be valued at their respective fair market values, as determined by the Voting Managing Members in good faith and in a manner consistent with the valuation procedures established in the Domestic Fund Agreement and the Foreign Fund Agreement. Distributable Other Cash shall be distributed, in such amounts as the Voting Managing Members may determine, not less frequently than quarterly, within 30 days following the last day of each fiscal quarter of the LLC. (b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.02 and 9.02(b)below: (i) Distributable Cash and Property related to an Investment shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to their respective Investment Percentage Interests in such Investment on the date the LLC makes such distribution; and (ii) Distributable Other Cash shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests on the date the LLC makes such distribution. (c) The Voting Managing Members will use reasonable efforts to cause the LLC to distribute to each Member in each year the Tax Distribution Amount (as defined below), which amount shall be treated as an advance against future distributions to such Member pursuant to Section 4.01(b) above. The Tax Distribution Amount shall equal an amount which, when added to all distributions previously made to the Member pursuant to this Section 4.01 from the inception of the LLC, equals the product of (i) the Member's allocable share of the net taxable income of the LLC -19-

computed on an aggregate cumulative basis from the inception of the LLC and (ii) the highest combined marginal rate of federal and Massachusetts state income tax applicable to individuals for any year since the inception of the LLC. Separate Tax Distribution Amounts shall be computed with respect to each Investment, and, to the extent practicable, the required distribution of the Tax Distribution Amount attributable to a particular Investment for a particular period shall be satisfied by a distribution of Distributable Cash and Property attributable to such Investment. To the extent that the required distribution of the Tax Distribution Amount attributable to a particular Investment is satisfied by a distribution of Distributable Cash and Property attributable to another Investment, rules similar to those set forth in clause (ii) of the definition of "Distributable Cash and Property" shall apply. 4.02 Vesting Escrow. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.01 above, the LLC shall distribute to each Managing Member on the date of any distribution only that portion of any Distributable Cash and Property to which he is entitled which is equal to his Vested Percentage of such amount. Any portion of any distribution which is not distributed as a result of the operation of this Section 4.02(a) shall be held in escrow by the LLC, in accordance with this Section 4.02. Any escrow established pursuant to this Section 4.02 is herein referred to as a "Vesting Escrow." Subject to Section 3.04, on the last day of each calendar quarter following the date of the distribution with respect to any Investment, one-twentieth of the amount of the original distribution (plus a proportionate amount of interest or other amounts earned thereon, if any), shall be disbursed from such Vesting Escrow to such Managing Member. (b) The interest of the Capital Member shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 4.02, and it shall at all times be entitled to receive 100% of any distributions to Distributable Cash and Property allocable to it pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.01. (c) Each of the Managing Members hereby agrees and acknowledges that, as a result of the operation of this Section 4.02, (i) such Managing Member may be allocated Net Profits and Net Losses of the LLC without corresponding distributions of Distributable Cash or Property; (ii) the Managing Members are authorized to and may (but shall not be required to) invest amounts that are held in a Vesting Escrow in short-term investments pending distribution of such amounts to the Managing Members; (iii) the LLC may hold in a Vesting Escrow securities which would otherwise have been distributed to such Managing Member, and the LLC shall be entitled to vote, transfer, sell, assign and exercise all rights of ownership with respect to all such securities prior -20-

to their distribution to the Managing Members in accordance with this Section 4.02; and (iv) amounts held in escrow pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be irrevocably forfeited by a Managing Member from and after the date of any Event of Forfeiture with respect to such Managing Member. If any property which is held in escrow pursuant to this Section 4.02 is sold or otherwise disposed of, the proceeds of such sale or other disposition shall be substituted in the Vesting Escrow for such property, and released in accordance with Section 4.02(a) above at the same time such property would have been released from such Vesting Escrow. (d) Upon the discontinuance of the activities of the LLC related to the funding of additional investments after the Funds have been fully invested, and with the approval of a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members, the Vested Percentage of each Managing Member shall be increased to one hundred percent (100%). (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions of Distributable Cash and Property to Denise W. Marks shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 4.02 and no portion thereof shall be required to be held in a Vesting Escrow. 4.03 Certain Payments to the Internal Revenue Service Treated as Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the LLC is required (as determined in the discretion of the Voting Managing Members), or elects, pursuant to applicable law, either (i) to pay tax (including estimated tax) on a Member's allocable share of LLC items of income or gain, whether or not distributed, or (ii) to withhold and pay over to the tax authorities any portion of a distribution otherwise distributable to a Member, the LLC may pay over such tax or such withheld amount to the tax authorities, and such amount shall be treated as a distribution to such Member at the time it is paid to the tax authorities. In the event that the amount paid (or paid over) to the tax authorities on behalf of a Member exceeds the amount that would have been distributed to such Member absent such tax obligation, such excess shall be treated as a demand loan from the LLC to such Member, which loan shall bear interest at the prime rate announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal, until paid in full. 4.04 Distributions in Kind. A Member, regardless of the nature of his contribution to the LLC, shall have no right to demand or receive any distribution from the LLC in any form other than cash. The LLC may, at any time and from time to time, make distributions in kind to the Members. Any Member entitled to any interest in such assets shall, unless otherwise determined by the Members, receive separate assets -21-

of the LLC and not an interest as a tenant-in-common with other Members so entitled in any asset being distributed. 4.05 Distributions Upon Transfer or Admission. In the event that a Member acquires an interest in the LLC either by transfer from another Member or by acquisition from the LLC, the LLC shall close its books as of the date of the acquisition and Distributable Cash and Property and items thereof computed for the portion of the year ending on the date of the acquisition shall be distributed among the Members without regard to such acquisition, and Distributable Cash and items thereof computed for the portion of the year commencing on the day following the date of the acquisition shall be allocated among the Members taking into account such acquisition. For purposes of this Section 4.04, any modifications to a Member's Percentage Interest or Investment Percentage Interest for any Investment, shall be treated as if a Member acquired an interest in the LLC. 4.06 Right to Set Off Certain Amounts. The LLC may withhold from any amounts which are otherwise distributable to a Member in accordance with this Agreement, and pay over to @Ventures Management, LLC (the "Management Company"), any amount which such Member may owe to the Management Company pursuant to certain promissory notes made by such Member to the Management Company, which notes evidence loans made by the Management Company to such Member in order to enable such Member to satisfy its capital contribution obligations to the LLC. -22-

ARTICLE V ALLOCATION OF NET PROFITS AND NET LOSSES 5.01 Basic Allocations. (a) Net Profits and Net Losses shall be computed on an Investment by Investment basis as of the end of each fiscal year (or other relevant period). Except as provided in Section 5.02 below (which shall be applied first) and Section 5.01(b) below, Net Profits and Net Losses attributable to a particular Investment shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Investment Percentage Interests in such Investment. Net Profits and Net Losses attributable to Other Cash Receipts shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. (b) Notwithstanding Section 5.01(a) above, Net Profits and Net Losses attributable to any assets held in a Vesting Escrow shall be specially allocated to the Managing Member to whom such Vesting Escrow relates. (c) For purposes of this Article V, the amount of the Net Profits or Net Losses from any Investment (treating all sources of Other Cash Receipts as one Investment) shall be determined by allocating expenses incurred by the LLC among the Investments in the same manner that expenses are allocated pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of "Distributable Cash and Property." (d) Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses provided for in this Section 5.01 shall generally be made as of the end of the fiscal year of the LLC; provided, however, that allocations of items of Net Profits and Net Losses described in clause (vi) of the definition of "Net Profits" and "Net Losses" shall be made at the time deemed realized as described in the definition of "Capital Account." (e) Upon admission of any Managing Member to the LLC following the date of formation of the LLC, any deduction attributable to such admission shall be allocated among the Managing Members of the LLC (determined immediately prior to the admission of such new Managing Member), in proportion to such Managing Members' respective Percentage Interests as in effect immediately prior to such admission. -23-

5.02 Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01 above, the following allocations of Net Profits, Net Losses and items thereof shall be made in the following order of priority: (a) Items of income or gain (computed with the adjustments contained in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of the definition of "Net Profits and Net Losses") for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Members in the manner and to the minimum extent required by the "minimum gain chargeback" provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). (b) All "nonrecourse deductions" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) of the LLC for any year shall be allocated to the Members in the manner in which Net Profits and Net Losses are allocated; provided, however, that nonrecourse deductions attributable to "partner nonrecourse debt" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1). (c) Items of income or gain (computed with the adjustments contained in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of the definition of "Net Profits and Net Losses") for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Members in the manner and to the extent required by the "qualified income offset" provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). (d) In no event shall Net Losses of the LLC be allocated to a Member if such allocation would cause or increase a negative balance in such Member's Capital Account (determined for purposes of this Section 5.02(d) only, by increasing the Member's Capital Account balance by (i) the amount the Member is obligated to restore to the LLC pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) and (ii) such Member's share of "minimum gain" and of "partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain" as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), respectively). (e) Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by Code Section 704, for tax purposes, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated to the Members in the same manner as are Net Profits and Net Losses; provided, however, that if the Carrying Value of any property of the LLC differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes, then items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit related to such property for tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of the property for tax purposes and its Carrying Value in the manner provided for under Code Section 704(c). -24-

(f) In the event that Net Profits, Net Losses or items thereof in respect of any Investment are allocated to one or more Members pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) above, subsequent Net Profit, Net Losses or items thereof will first be allocated (subject to the provisions of subsections (a) and (b)) to the Members in a manner designed to result in each Member having been allocated an amount of Net Profits, Net Losses or items thereof attributable to each Investment as such Member would have been allocated had Section 5.02 not been contained in this Agreement. 5.03 Allocations Upon Transfer or Admission. In the event that a Member acquires an interest in the LLC either by transfer from another Member or by acquisition from the LLC, the LLC shall close its books as of the date of the acquisition and Net Profits, Net Losses and items thereof computed for the portion of the year ending on the date of the acquisition shall be allocated among the Members without regard to such acquisition, and Net Profits, Net Losses and items thereof computed for the portion of the year commencing on the day following the date of the acquisition shall be allocated among the Members taking into account such acquisition. For purposes of this Section 5.03, any modifications to a Member's Percentage Interest or Investment Percentage Interest for any Investment, shall be treated as if a Member acquired an interest in the LLC. ARTICLE VI MANAGEMENT 6.01 Management of the LLC. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Act, all powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the LLC shall be controlled by the Members. (b) Except to the extent that this Agreement specifically provides for a higher or lower number or percentage of Members, all decisions respecting any matter set forth herein or otherwise affecting or arising out of the conduct of the business of the LLC shall be made by action of a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members; provided that, Voting Managing Members with respect to whom an Event of Forfeiture has occurred shall have no right to vote on or participate in any matter or decision to be made by the Voting Managing Members and shall be disregarded for all purposes in determining the number of Voting Managing Members which constitute a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members. Except to the extent specifically provided in this Agreement, the Non-Voting Managing Members shall not be entitled to vote on, consent to or approve any matter relating to the conduct of -25-

the LLC's business. The Voting Managing Members, by action of a Majority in Number thereof, may at any time and from time to time change the status of any Managing Member from Voting to Non-Voting, and vice versa. Subject to the foregoing, the Voting Managing Members shall have the exclusive right and full authority to manage, conduct and operate the LLC business. Specifically, but not by way of limitation, the Voting Managing Members (by action of such Majority in Number) shall be authorized, for and on behalf of the LLC: (i) to borrow money, to issue evidences of indebtedness and to guarantee the debts of others for whatever purposes they may specify, and, as security therefor, to pledge or otherwise encumber the assets of the LLC; (ii) to cause to be paid on or before the due date thereof all amounts due and payable by the LLC to any person or entity; (iii) to employ such agents, employees, managers, accountants, attorneys, consultants and other persons necessary or appropriate to carry out the business and affairs of the LLC, whether or not any such persons so employed are Members or are affiliated or related to any Member, and to pay such fees, expenses, salaries, wages and other compensation to such persons as the Members shall in their sole discretion determine; (iv) to pay, extend, renew, modify, adjust, submit to arbitration, prosecute, defend or compromise, upon such terms as they may determine and upon such evidence as they may deem sufficient, any obligation, suit, liability, cause of action or claim, including taxes, either in favor of or against the LLC; (v) to pay any and all fees and to make any and all expenditures which the Voting Managing Members, in their discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the organization of the LLC, and the carrying out of its obligations and responsibilities under this or any other Agreement; (vi) to invest the assets of the LLC, and to lease, sell, finance, refinance or dispose of all or any portion of the LLC's property; (vii) to cause the LLC to make or revoke any of the elections referred to in Sections 108, 704, 709, 754 or 1017 of the Code or any similar provisions enacted in lieu thereof, or in any other Section of the Code; -26-

(viii) to establish and maintain reserves for such purposes and in such amounts as they deem appropriate from time to time; (ix) to pay all organizational expenses and general and administrative expenses of the LLC; (x) to deal with, or otherwise engage in business with, or provide services to and receive compensation therefor from, any person who has provided or may in the future provide any services to, lend money to, sell property to, or purchase property from the LLC, including without limitation, a Member; (xi) to engage in any kind of activity and to perform and carry out contracts of any kind necessary to, or in connection with, or incidental to the accomplishment of the purposes of the LLC; (xii) to compromise the obligation of a Member to make a contribution to the capital of the LLC or to return to the LLC money or other property paid or distributed to such Member in violation of this Agreement or the Act; (xiii) to cause to be paid any and all taxes, charges and assessments that may be levied, assessed or imposed upon any of the assets of the LLC, unless the same are contested by the Voting Managing Members; (xiv) to exercise all powers and authority granted by the Act to members, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement; (xv) to cause the LLC to take any of the foregoing actions in the name and on behalf of the Funds, in the LLC's respective capacity as a general partner or managing member, as applicable, of any Fund; (xvi) to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and other incidents of ownership with respect to the interest of the LLC in each of the Funds, and to perform the LLC's respective obligations under the Fund Agreements. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Voting Managing Members shall not be authorized to take any of the following actions without the prior approval of the Capital Member: -27-

(i) to do any act that is in contravention of this Agreement or that is not consistent with the purposes of the LLC; (ii) to do any act that would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the LLC; (iii) to guarantee the obligations of any Portfolio Company; or (iv) to take any other action which requires the consent of the Capital Member pursuant to this Agreement. Other than as set forth in this Section 6.01(c), the Capital Member shall not participate in the management or control of the LLC and shall have no authority to act for or bind the LLC. (d) Any Managing Member is authorized to execute, deliver and file on behalf of the LLC any documents to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The signature of one Managing Member on any agreement, contract, instrument or other document shall be sufficient to bind the LLC in respect thereof and conclusively evidence the authority of such Managing Member and the LLC with respect thereto, and no third party need look to any other evidence or require the joinder or consent of any other party. (e) Each Managing Member is authorized to use the title "Managing Director" when acting on behalf of the LLC in the conduct of the LLC's business. (f) The Voting Managing Members, by action of a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members exclusive of the Managing Member as to whom the determination is being made, shall determine whether or not "Cause" is present in connection with the termination of the relationship of a Managing Member with the LLC. A Managing Member's relationship with the LLC may be terminated for Cause only after a hearing to consider the matter. Any such hearing shall be held only after written notice has been given to all Members, including the Managing Member proposed to be terminated. Such notice must be given not less than 10 days prior to such hearing, and must specify the time and place at which the hearing will be held, and a general statement of the nature of the charges against the Managing Member proposed to be terminated. At such hearing, the Managing Member proposed to be terminated will have an opportunity to respond to the charges constituting Cause. None of the Members (including the Managing Member proposed to be terminated), -28-

may be represented at such hearing by counsel or other representatives. At the time any such notice is given, or any time thereafter, but prior to a decision of a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members following the hearing, a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members (exclusive of the Member proposed to be terminated) may immediately relieve the Managing Member proposed to be terminated of his or her duties and responsibilities hereunder pending a decision. 6.02 Tax Matters Partner. Andrew J. Hajducky, III shall be the tax matters partner for the LLC pursuant to Code Sections 6221 through 6231. 6.03 Liability of the Members; Indemnification. (a) No Member shall be liable to the LLC or any other Member for any act or omission taken by the Member in good faith and in the belief that such act or omission is in the best interests of the LLC; provided that such act or omission is not in violation of this Agreement and does not constitute negligence, misconduct, fraud or a willful violation of law by the Member. No Member shall be liable to the LLC or any other Member for any action taken by any other Member, nor shall any Member (in the absence of negligence, misconduct, fraud or a willful violation of law by the Member) be liable to the LLC or any other Member for any action of any employee or agent of the LLC provided that the Member shall have exercised appropriate care in the selection and supervision of such employee or agent. -29-

(b) Each Member and its respective partners, agents, employees and Affiliates (the "Indemnitees") shall be and hereby are (i) indemnified and held harmless by the LLC and (ii) released by the other Members from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages, losses, suits, proceedings and actions for which such Indemnitee has not otherwise been reimbursed (collectively, "Liabilities"), whether judicial, administrative, investigative or otherwise, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that may accrue to the LLC or any other Member or in which any of the Indemnitees may become involved, as a party or otherwise, arising out of the conduct of the business or affairs of the LLC by the respective Indemnitee or otherwise relating to this Agreement, provided that an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or release hereunder if it shall have been determined by (i) in the case of the Capital Member or an Indemnitee claiming by or through the Capital Member, a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) in the case of any Managing Member or an Indemnitee claiming by or through the Managing Member, by the Capital Member, that (x) such person did not act in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the LLC and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, did not have reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was lawful, or (y) such Liabilities shall have arisen from a violation of this Agreement or the negligence, misconduct, fraud or willful violation of law by such Indemnitee, or actions of such Indemnitee outside the scope of and unauthorized by this Agreement, and provided further that an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any liability arising in connection with its activities performed for or on behalf of any Portfolio Company, the securities of which have been sold or have been distributed to the Members pursuant to Article IV, if such activities were performed after the date on which such securities were sold or distributed. The termination of any proceeding by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the LLC or that the Indemnitee did not have reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was lawful. The indemnification rights provided for in this Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of the LLC or this Agreement. Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder may be advanced by the LLC prior to the final disposition thereof provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the claim relates to the performance of duties or services by the Indemnitee on behalf of the LLC and (ii) the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the LLC if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder or under applicable law. The right of any Indemnitee to indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all -30-

rights to which such Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnitee's successors, assigns and legal representatives. The obligations of the Members under this Section 6.03(b) shall be satisfied only after any applicable insurance proceeds have been exhausted and then only out of LLC assets and, to the extent required by law, distributions made by the LLC to the Members, and the Members shall have no liability to fund any indemnification payment hereunder. 6.04 Liability of Members. The liability of the Members for the losses, debts and obligations of the LLC shall be limited to their capital contributions; provided, however, that under applicable law, the Members may under certain circumstances be liable to the LLC to the extent of previous distributions made to them in the event that the LLC does not have sufficient assets to discharge its liabilities. 6.05 Certain Fees and Expenses. All out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by any Member in connection with the LLC's business (including an allocable share of certain overhead and similar expenses of the Capital Member) shall be paid by the LLC or reimbursed to the Member by the LLC. 6.06 Other Activities. (a) Subject to Sections 6.06(b) and Section 6.07 below, the Members and their respective Affiliates may engage in and possess interests in other business ventures and investment opportunities of every kind and description, independently or with others, including serving as directors, officers, stockholders, managers, members and general or limited partners of corporations, partnerships or other limited liability companies with purposes similar to or the same as those of the LLC. Neither the LLC nor any other Member shall have any rights in or to such ventures or opportunities or the income or profits therefrom. (b) Each Managing Member agrees that (I) during his or her employment by the Employer, and (II) while he or she holds any interest in the LLC, and (III) for a period of three (3) years following termination of his or her employment relationship with the Employer if such employment is terminated: (A) by the Managing Member voluntarily, or (B) by the Employer for Cause, such Managing Member will not, directly or indirectly: (x) recruit, solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any employee or consultant of the Employer or of any Portfolio Company or of any Affiliate of any of them to terminate his or her employment with, or otherwise cease any -31-

relationship with, the Employer or any Portfolio Company or any Affiliate of any of them; or (y) solicit, divert, take away, or attempt to divert or take away, any investment opportunity with respect to any Portfolio Company or any investment opportunity with respect to any prospective investment or prospective portfolio company which the Employer contacted or solicited during such Managing Member's employment relationship with the Employer. If any restriction set forth herein is found by any court to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time, or over too great a range of activities, or over too broad a geographic area, the restriction shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities, or geographic area which the court finds to be enforceable. Each Managing Member acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.06(b) are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Employer, the Portfolio Companies and the Affiliates of any of them and are considered by such Managing Member to be reasonable for such purpose and that his or her interest in the LLC is being received partly in consideration for the foregoing covenant. 6.07 Commitment of Members. Each of the Managing Members hereby agrees to use its best efforts in connection with the purposes and objectives of the LLC and to devote to such purposes and objectives such of its time and resources as shall be necessary for the management of the affairs of the LLC. 6.08 Conflicts of Interest. No contract or transaction between the LLC and one or more of its Members or Affiliates, or between the LLC and any other corporation, partnership association or other organization in which one or more of its Members or Affiliates are directors, officers, members, managers or partners or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for such reason, or solely because the Member or Affiliate is present at or participates in any meeting of Managing Members which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his, her or its votes are counted for such purpose, if: (i) the material facts as to his, her or its interest as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Voting Managing Members and the Voting Managing Members authorize the contract or transaction by a vote sufficient for such purpose without counting the vote of any interested Voting Managing Member even though the disinterested Voting -32-

Managing Members may be less than a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members entitled to vote thereon; or (ii) the material facts as to his, her or its interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Voting Managing Members entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved by a vote of the Voting Managing Members; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair to the LLC or its Affiliates as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Voting Managing Members. ARTICLE VII BOOKS, RECORDS AND BANK ACCOUNTS 7.01 Books and Records. The Managing Members shall keep or cause to be kept just and true books of account with respect to the operations of the LLC. Such books shall be maintained at the LLC's principal place of business, or at such other place as the Members shall determine, and all Members, and their duly authorized representatives, shall at all reasonable times have access to such books as well as any information required to be made available to the Members under the Act. The Managing Members shall not be required to deliver or mail copies of the LLC's Certificate of Formation or copies of certificates of amendment thereto or cancellation thereof to the Members, although such documents shall be available for review and/or copying by the Members at the LLC's principal place of business. 7.02 Accounting Basis and Fiscal Year. The LLC's books shall be kept on the accrual method of accounting, or on such other method of accounting as the Members may from time to time determine, and shall be closed and balanced at the end of each fiscal year of the LLC. The fiscal year of the LLC shall be the calendar year. 7.03 Bank Accounts. The Managing Members shall be responsible for causing one or more accounts to be maintained in a bank (or banks), which accounts shall be used for the payment of the expenditures incurred by the Managing Members in connection with the business of the LLC, and in which shall be deposited any and all cash receipts of the LLC. All deposits and funds not needed for the operations of the LLC may be invested in such short-term investments as the Managing Members may determine. All such amounts shall be and remain the property of the LLC, and shall be -33-

received, held and disbursed by the Managing Members for the purposes specified in this Agreement. There shall not be deposited in any of said accounts any funds other than funds belonging to the LLC, and no other funds shall in any way be commingled with such funds. 7.04 Reports to Members. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Managing Members shall cause the LLC to furnish to each Member (i) such information as may be needed to enable the Members to file their federal income tax returns and any required state income tax returns, and (ii) an audited balance sheet of the LLC as of the last day of such fiscal year, and audited financial statements of the LLC for such fiscal year. The cost of such reporting shall be paid by the LLC as a LLC expense. Any Member may, at any time, at its own expense, cause an audit of the LLC books to be made by a certified public accountant of its own selection. All expenses incurred by such accountant shall be borne by such Member. ARTICLE VIII TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS OF MEMBERS 8.01 Substitution and Assignment of Member's Interest. (a) Subject to Section 8.01(b) below, no Managing Member may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its interest in the LLC (whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law), unless (i) the Capital Member and (ii) a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members (exclusive of the transferor) shall have previously consented to such transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or disposition in writing, the granting or denying of which consent shall be in such Members' absolute discretion. The provisions of this Section 8.01(a) shall not be applicable to any assignment of the interest of a Managing Member to a Permitted Transferee (provided that no such Permitted Transferee may be admitted to the LLC as a substitute Member except as provided in Section 8.01(c) below). Subject to Section 8.01(b) below, the Capital Member may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its interest in the LLC without the consent or approval of any other Member, provided that the transferee of any such interest may not be admitted to the LLC as a substitute Member except as provided in Section 8.01(c) below. (b) No assignment of the interest of a Member shall be made if, in the opinion of counsel to the LLC, such assignment (i) may not be effected without -34-

registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) would result in the violation of any applicable state securities laws, (iii) would result in a termination of the LLC under Section 708 of the Code, unless such a transfer is consented to by (i) the Capital Member and (ii) a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members, (iv) would result in the treatment of the LLC as an association taxable as a corporation or as a "publicly-traded limited partnership" for tax purposes, unless such a transfer is consented to by all Members or (v) would require the LLC or any Fund to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended. The LLC shall not be required to recognize any assignment until the instrument conveying such interest has been delivered to the LLC for recordation on the books of the LLC. Unless an assignee becomes a substituted Member in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(c), it shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder, other than the right to receive all or part of the share of the Net Profits, Net Losses, distributions of cash or property or returns of capital to which his assignor would otherwise be entitled. (c) An assignee of the interest of a Member, or any portion thereof, shall become a substituted Member entitled to all the rights of a Member if, and only if: (i) the assignor gives the assignee such right; (ii) in the case of an assignee of a Managing Member, the Capital Member and a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members (exclusive of the assignor) consent to such substitution, the granting or denying of which consent shall be in the other Members' absolute discretion; (iii) in the case of an assignee of the Capital Member, a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members consent to such substitution, the granting or denying of which consent shall be in the Voting Managing Members' absolute discretion, except that, in the case of a transfer all or substantially all of the business or assets of CMGI (by sale of assets, sale of stock, merger or otherwise), including its indirect interest in the LLC, no such consent of the Voting Managing Members shall be required; (iv) the assignee or the assignor pays to the LLC all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such substitution, including specifically, without limitation, costs incurred in the review and processing of the assignment and in amending this Agreement; and -35-

(v) the assignee executes and delivers such instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to the LLC, as may be necessary or desirable to effect such substitution and to confirm the agreement of the assignee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Unless a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members (exclusive of the assignor) otherwise approve, any assignee of the interest of a Voting Managing Member who becomes a substitute Managing Member shall be and become a Voting Managing Member, and any assignee of the interest of a Non-Voting Managing Member who becomes a substitute Managing Member shall be and become a Non-Voting Managing Member. (d) The LLC and the Members shall be entitled to treat the record owner of any interest in the LLC as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions of cash or other property made in good faith to such owner until such time as a written assignment of such interest has been received and accepted by the Managing Members and recorded on the books of the LLC. The Managing Members may refuse to accept an assignment until the end of the next successive quarterly accounting period. In no event shall any interest in the LLC, or any portion thereof, be sold, transferred or assigned to a minor or incompetent, and any such attempted sale, transfer or assignment shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind the LLC. (e) If a Member who is an individual dies or a court of competent jurisdiction adjudges him to be incompetent to manage his person or his property, the Member's executor, administrator, guardian, conservator or other legal representative may exercise all of the Member's rights hereunder, but solely for the purpose of settling his estate or administering his property, and in no event shall such executor, administrator, guardian, conservator or legal representative participate in any way in the conduct of the business of the LLC, or in the making of any decision or the taking of any action provided for hereunder (including without limitation, Section 6.01(a) or (b)) for any other purpose. If a Member is a corporation, trust or other entity, and is dissolved or terminated, the powers of that Member may be exercised by its legal representative or successor. 8.02 Additional Members. (a) Except as provided in Section 8.01, additional Members may be admitted to the LLC only upon the written consent of the Capital Member and a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members. Any such consent shall specify -36-

(i) the capital contribution, if any, and the Percentage Interest of the additional Member, (ii) whether such Managing Member is a Voting or Non-Voting Managing Member and (iii) any other rights and obligations of such additional Member. Such approval shall bind all Members. In connection with any such admission of an additional Member, this Agreement (including Schedules A and B) shall be amended to reflect the additional Member, its capital contribution, if any, its Percentage Interest, its Vesting Commencement Date, and any other rights and obligations of the additional Member. In connection with any such admission of an additional Member, the Percentage Interest or other rights and interests of the Capital Member in the LLC may not be diluted or otherwise modified or adjusted without the specific written consent of the Capital Member. (b) Unless all Voting Managing Members (exclusive of those with respect to whom an Event of Forfeiture has occurred) otherwise agree, in connection with the admission of any additional Managing Member to the LLC, the Percentage Interests of all Managing Members shall be diluted proportionately based on their respective Percentage Interests immediately prior to any such admission. (c) Each Managing Member, and each person who is hereinafter admitted to the LLC as a Managing Member, hereby (i) consents to the admission to the LLC of any such third party on such terms as may be approved by the Members in accordance with this Section 8.02, and to any amendment to this Agreement which may be necessary or appropriate to reflect the admission of any such third party and the terms of its interest in the LLC, and (ii) acknowledges that, in connection with any admission of any such person, such Member's interest in allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses and distributions of cash and property of the LLC, and net proceeds upon liquidation of the LLC, may be diluted or otherwise altered (subject to the provisions of this Section 8.02). Any amendment to this Agreement which shall be made in order to effectuate the provisions of this Section 8.02 shall be executed by the Capital Member and a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members, and any such amendment shall be binding upon all of the Members. 8.03 Reallocation of Percentage Interests. The Voting Managing Members, by action of a Majority in Number thereof, may not later than 10 business days following the commencement of any fiscal year, elect to modify the respective Percentage Interests of the Managing Members. Any such determination to modify the Percentage Interests of the Managing Members shall be made based on the respective professional and managerial contribution and anticipated contribution to the business of the LLC of the Managing Members, and any such determination shall take effect as of the first day of such fiscal year, and shall not otherwise have any retroactive effect. In no event shall -37-

the Percentage Interest of the Capital Member be modified or adjusted as a result of this Section 8.03. In connection with any such adjustment, Schedule B shall be amended accordingly, and all Members shall be bound by the determination of a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members. ARTICLE IX DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION 9.01 Events of Dissolution. (a) The LLC shall be dissolved: (i) on a date designated in writing by (A) the Capital Member and (B) a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members; (ii) following the dissolution (following which the business is not continued) of the last to dissolve of the Funds, and the liquidation of all of assets of the Funds and the winding up of their respective businesses; (iii) upon the sale or other disposition of all of the LLC's assets; or (iv) upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act. (b) Dissolution of the LLC shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the LLC shall not terminate until the LLC's Certificate of Formation shall have been cancelled and the assets of the LLC shall have been distributed as provided herein. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the LLC, prior to the termination of the LLC, as aforesaid, the business of the LLC and the affairs of the Members, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement. A liquidator appointed by the Voting Managing Members (who may be a Member), shall liquidate the assets of the LLC, and distribute the proceeds thereof as contemplated by this Agreement and cause the cancellation of the LLC's Certificate of Formation. -38-

9.02 Distributions Upon Liquidation. (a) After payment of liabilities owing to creditors, the liquidator shall set up such reserves as it deems reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the LLC (including without limitation, any liabilities or obligations to the Funds). Said reserves may be paid over by such liquidator to a bank, to be held in escrow for the purpose of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations and, at the expiration of such period as such liquidator may deem advisable, such reserves shall be distributed to the Members or their assigns in the manner set forth in paragraph (b) below. (b) After paying such liabilities and providing for such reserves, the liquidator shall cause the remaining net assets of the LLC to be distributed to all Members with positive Capital Account balances (after such balances have been adjusted to reflect all debits and credits required by applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code for all events through and including the distribution in liquidation of the LLC), in proportion to and to the extent of such positive balances. In the event that any part of such net assets consists of notes or accounts receivable or other non-cash assets, the liquidator may take whatever steps it deems appropriate to convert such assets into cash or into any other form which would facilitate the distribution thereof. If any assets of the LLC are to be distributed in kind, such assets shall be distributed on the basis of their fair market value net of any liabilities. No Member other than the Capital Member shall have any right or interest in or to the name "@ Ventures" and all rights and interest in such name shall, upon termination of the LLC, be assigned and transferred to the Capital Member. -39-

Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement, and each and every provision hereof, shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Members, their respective successors, successors-in-title, heirs and assigns, and each and every successor-in-interest to any Member, whether such successor acquires such interest by way of gift, purchase, foreclosure, or by any other method, shall hold such interest subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 10.03 Amendments. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement (including without limitation, Section 3.04 and Article VIII), this Agreement may be amended or modified only by (i) the Capital Member and (ii) a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members; provided that (x) no such amendment shall increase the liability of, increase the obligations of or adversely affect the interest of, any Member without the specific approval of such Member (other than upon the occurrence of an Event of Forfeiture, upon admission of a Managing Member in accordance with Section 8.02 or upon the adjustment of the Percentage Interests of the Managing Members in accordance with Section 8.03); (y) if any provision of this Agreement provides for the approval or consent of a greater number of Members or of Members holding a higher percentage of the total Percentage Interests of the Members, any amendment effectuated pursuant to such provision, and any amendment to such provision, shall require the approval or consent of such greater number of Members or of Members holding such higher percentage of Percentage Interests; and (z) subject to clauses (x) and (y) above, any amendment to this Section 10.03 shall require the -40-

The Members hereby agree that no Member nor any successor-in-interest to any Member, shall have the right while this Agreement remains in effect to have the property of the LLC partitioned, or to file a complaint or institute any proceeding at law or in equity to have the property of the LLC partitioned, and each Member, on behalf of himself, his successors, representatives, heirs and assigns, hereby waives any such right. It is the intention of the Members that during the term of this Agreement, the rights of the Members and their successors-in-interest, as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and that the right of any Member or successor-in-interest to assign, transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of his interest in the LLC shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions of this Agreement. 10.05 No Waiver. The failure of any Member to insist upon strict performance of a covenant hereunder or of any obligation hereunder, irrespective of the length of time for which such failure continues, shall not be a waiver of such Member's right to demand strict compliance in the future. No consent or waiver, express or implied, to or of any breach or default in the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligation hereunder. 10.06 Entire Agreement.

EXHIBIT 10.73 FIRST AMENDMENT TO LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF @VENTURES PARTNERS III, LLC THIS FIRST AMENDMENT, dated as of the 15th day of October, 2000, to the Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of June 30, 1999 (the "Agreement"), of @Ventures Partners III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "LLC"), is by and among the persons named as Members on Schedule A to the Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Members hereby amend the Agreement as follows. 1. Amendment to Section 4.02 to Allow Certain Hedging Activities. Section 4.02 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding, at the end thereof, the following subsection (f): "(f) The LLC may, at the request and on behalf of any Managing Member, engage in hedging activities with respect to securities held in the Vesting Escrow of such Managing Member, provided that (i) a Majority in Number of the Voting Managing Members approves in advance any such hedging activities; (ii) the Managing Member for whose benefit the hedging activities were undertaken bears all of the costs incurred in connection with such activities and indemnifies the LLC in writing with respect to any costs or losses incurred by the LLC in connection with any such activities; and (iii) the securities held in such Managing Member's Vesting Escrow may not be used to settle any "hedged" position until such time as such securities are released to such Managing Member from such Vesting Escrow. The Voting Managing Members, by action of Two-thirds in Number thereof, may determine to engage in hedging activities with respect to all of the LLC's securities of a Portfolio Company which are held in Vesting Escrows, in which case all Managing Members for whom a Vesting Escrow which includes such Portfolio Company security shall be bound by such hedging arrangements. If the Managing Members determine to hedge Portfolio Company securities pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Managing Members shall bear all of the costs incurred in connection with such activities and indemnify the LLC in writing with respect to any costs or losses incurred by the LLC in connection with any such activities; and the securities held in the Managing Members' Vesting Escrows may not be used to settle any "hedged" position until such time as such securities are released to the Managing Members from such Vesting Escrow. The Managing Members agree and acknowledge that, if the LLC has engaged in hedging activities with respect to securities held in a Vesting Escrow pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 4.02(f), and an Event of Forfeiture occurs with respect to a -1-

Member whose Vesting Escrow includes such hedged securities, then the Managing Members who are entitled to a share of the forfeited Vesting Escrow which includes such "hedged" securities will receive "hedged" securities upon such forfeiture. In no event shall the Capital Member or the LLC bear any of the costs associated with any hedging activities permitted by this Section. Except as permitted in this Section 4.02(f), the LLC shall not engage in any other hedging activities except with the prior approval of the Capital Member." 2. No Other Amendments. In all other respects, the Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed. [Signature pages follow.] -2-

(b) As and when the LLC determines to make an Investment, the Members participating in such Investment, as more fully described below (the "Participating Members") shall be required to contribute capital to the LLC in an aggregate amount sufficient to enable the LLC to make such Investment. Each Participating Member shall contribute to the LLC his or her proportionate share of the amount required to enable the LLC to make such Investment determined in the manner hereinafter provided. Each Participating Member's proportionate share of the total amount required shall equal a fraction, the numerator of which shall be such Participating Member's Percentage Interest on the date on which the capital contribution is called for, and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Percentage Interests of all Participating Members on such date, provided, however, (i) that in no event shall a Class A Member be required or permitted to contribute to the LLC any amount if such amount, together with all amounts previously contributed by such Class A Member to the LLC would exceed such Class A Member's Maximum Contribution Obligation, and (ii) if, as a result of the limitation contained in the preceding clause (i), a Class A Member's proportionate share of a particular capital call is reduced, the amount of such capital call to be made by the Participating Class B Members as a group shall be correspondingly increased (such increase to be allocated among such Participating Class B Members based on their respective Percentage Interests). As used herein, "Participating Members" means all Members of the LLC, other than (x) Members for whom a Separation Event has occurred and (y) Class A Members who have made aggregate capital contributions to the LLC equal to their Maximum Contribution Obligation. (c) Subject to the limitations on Class A Members specified in Section 3.01(a), the Class B Members may call for capital for other LLC purposes as they may from time to time reasonably determine, and any capital called for pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) shall be contributed by the Members exclusive of Members for whom a Separation Event has occurred in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests on the date on which such capital is called for. (d) The Class B Members shall call for capital from all Members for the purposes specified in this Section 3.01 from time to time as needed. In connection with any such call, the Class B Members shall provide to each Member notice of a call for capital (which notice may be given in writing or by electronic mail), which notice shall specify the aggregate amount called for by the LLC, a general statement of the purposes for which such capital call is being made, each Member's share of the total amount called for, and the date on which the capital contribution is due (which shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, be not less than 10 days after the date of the notice). (e) The LLC shall maintain written records indicating the amount of capital contributed by each Member to the LLC. (f) The LLC may elect to withhold from any amounts which are otherwise distributable to a Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement any amount which such Member may be required to contribute to the LLC pursuant to this Section 3.01. In addition, the LLC may withhold from any amounts which are otherwise distributable to a Member in accordance with this 8

Agreement, and pay over to the Management Company, any amount which such Member may owe to the Management Company pursuant to certain promissory notes made by such Member to the Management Company, which notes evidence loans made by the Management Company to such Member in order to enable such Member to satisfy its capital contribution obligations to the LLC. 3.02 No Additional Capital. Except as provided in this Article III, no Member shall be obligated or permitted to contribute any additional capital to the LLC. No interest shall accrue on any contributions to the capital of the LLC, and no Member shall have the right to withdraw or to be repaid any capital contributed by it or to receive any other payment in respect of its interest in the LLC, including without limitation as a result of the withdrawal or resignation of such Member from the LLC, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. 3.03 Anticipated Operations of the LLC. (a) As and when any Fund determines to make an investment (other than a short-term investment), the LLC shall make an Investment in the same issuer, in the amounts and on the terms described in Section 2.03. In connection therewith, the Class B Members shall call for capital in accordance with Section 3.01(b), and after such capital contributions are made, the Class B Members shall create an Investment Schedule for such Investment, which shall be attached to this Agreement. The Investment Schedule for each Investment shall reflect (a) the Portfolio Company issuing the securities, (b) the acquisition date, (c) the number and class or series of shares of such securities, (d) the purchase price and/or other consideration payable by the LLC therefor, (e) the Investment Percentage Interest of each of Participating Member in such Investment (determined in the manner hereinafter provided) and (f) such other information, if any, as the Class B Members may deem appropriate. (b) The Investment Percentage Interest of each Member in each Investment shall equal the amount of the capital contribution made by such Participating Member to the LLC to enable the LLC to acquire such Investment divided by the aggregate amount of the capital contributions made by all Members to the LLC to enable the LLC to acquire such Investment. 3.04 Separation Event. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Separation Event with respect to any member: (i) Such Member's Percentage Interest in the LLC shall, from and after the date of the Separation Event, be reduced to zero, and the Percentage Interest in the LLC of all Class B Members (exclusive of any Class B Member for whom a Separation Event has occurred) shall be increased by an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the Percentage Interest of the Member for whom the Separation Event has occurred (such increase to be allocated among them in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests immediately prior to the adjustment contemplated hereby). (ii) Such Member shall not be entitled to participate in any Investment made by the LLC from and after the date of the Separation Event. (iii) Such Member, if a Class B Member, shall have no right to vote on or participate in any decision or matter on or in which Class B Members are entitled to vote or participate and such Class B Member shall be disregarded for all purposes in determining the number of Class B Members which constitute a Majority in Number of the Class B Members. (iv) Such Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to the LLC from and after the date of the Separation Event. 9

(v) Such Member shall automatically and without any action on the part of the LLC, such Member or any other Member, be deemed to have withdrawn from the LLC on the first date on which the LLC no longer owns any Investment in which such Member has an Investment Percentage Interest. The Class B Members shall make all determinations under this Section 3.04 (including determinations as to when and whether a Separation Event has occurred, and the adjustment of the Percentage Interests of the Members in connection therewith), in their reasonable discretion. (b) Schedules A and B shall be amended as required to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.04(b), any such amendments to be approved by a Majority in Number of the Class B Members and attached to this Agreement. ARTICLE IV DISTRIBUTIONS 4.01 Distribution of Distributable Cash and Property and Distributable Other Cash. (a) Distributable Cash and Property of the LLC shall be distributed on an Investment by Investment basis, at such times and in such amounts as the Class B Members may in their reasonable discretion determine. Any non-cash distributions made to the Members shall be valued at their respective fair market values, as determined by the Class B Members in good faith and in a manner consistent with the valuation procedures established in the Domestic Fund Agreement and the Foreign Fund Agreement. Distributable Other Cash shall be distributed, in such amounts as the Class B Members may determine, not less frequently than quarterly, within 30 days following the last day of each fiscal quarter of the LLC. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.02(b) below: (i) Distributable Cash and Property related to an Investment shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to their respective Investment Percentage Interests in such Investment; and (ii) Distributable Other Cash shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests on the date the LLC makes such distribution. (c) The Class B Members will use reasonable efforts to cause the LLC to distribute to each Member in each year the Tax Distribution Amount (as defined below), which amount shall be treated as an advance against future distributions to such Member pursuant to Section 4.01(b) above. The Tax Distribution Amount shall equal an amount which, when added to all distributions previously made to the Member pursuant to this Section 4.01 from the inception of the LLC, equals the product of (i) the Member's allocable share of the net taxable income of the LLC computed on an aggregate cumulative basis from the inception of the LLC and (ii) the highest combined marginal rate of federal and Massachusetts state income tax applicable to individuals for any year since the inception of the LLC. Separate Tax Distribution Amounts shall be computed with respect to each Investment, and, to the extent practicable, the required distribution of the Tax Distribution Amount attributable to a particular Investment for a particular period shall be satisfied by a distribution of Distributable Cash and Property attributable to such Investment. To the extent that the required distribution of the Tax Distribution Amount attributable to a particular Investment is satisfied by a distribution of Distributable Cash and Property attributable to another Investment, rules similar to those set forth in the parenthetical in clause (i) and clause (ii) of the definition of "Distributable Cash and Property" shall apply. 10

4.02 Certain Payments to the Internal Revenue Service Treated as Distributions. (a) For purposes of this Section 4.03, the Class B Members may assume that any Member who fails to provide to the LLC satisfactory evidence of its tax status for United States federal income tax purposes is a foreign person taxable as corporation. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the LLC is required, or elects, pursuant to applicable law, either (i) to pay tax (including estimated tax) on a Member's allocable share of LLC items of income or gain, whether or not distributed, or (ii) to withhold and pay over to the tax authorities any portion of a distribution otherwise distributable to a Member, the LLC may pay over such tax or such withheld amount to the tax authorities, and such amount shall be treated as a distribution to such Member at the time it is paid to the tax authorities. In the event that the amount paid (or paid over) to the tax authorities on behalf of any Member exceeds the amount which would have been distributed to such Member absent such tax obligation, such excess shall be treated as a demand loan from the LLC to such Member, which loan shall bear interest at the prime rate announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal, until paid in full. 4.03 Distributions in Kind. A Member, regardless of the nature of his contribution to the LLC, shall have no right to demand or receive any distribution from the LLC in any form other than cash. The LLC may, at any time and from time to time, make distributions in kind to the Members. Any Member entitled to any interest in such assets shall, unless otherwise determined by the Members, receive separate assets of the LLC and not an interest as a tenant-in-common with other Members so entitled in any asset being distributed. ARTICLE V ALLOCATION OF NET PROFITS AND NET LOSSES 5.01 Basic Allocations. (a) Net Profits and Net Losses shall be computed on an Investment by Investment basis as of the end of each fiscal year (or other relevant period). Except as provided in Section 5.02 below (which shall be applied first), Net Profits and Net Losses attributable to a particular Investment shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Investment Percentage Interests in such Investment. Net Profits and Net Losses attributable to Other Cash Receipts shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. (b) For purposes of this Article V, the amount of the Net Profits or Net Losses from any Investment (treating all sources of Other Cash Receipts as one Investment) shall be determined by allocating expenses incurred by the LLC among the Investments in the same manner that expenses are allocated pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of "Distributable Cash and Property." (c) Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses provided for in this Section 5.01 shall generally be made as of the end of the fiscal year of the LLC; provided, however, that allocations of items of Net Profits and Net Losses described in clause (v) of the definition of "Net Profits" and "Net Losses" shall be made at the time deemed realized as described in the definition of "Capital Account." 5.02 Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01 above, the following allocations of Net Profits, Net Losses and items thereof shall be made in the following order of priority: 11

(a) Items of income or gain (computed with the adjustments contained in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of the definition of "Net Profits and Net Losses") for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Members in the manner and to the minimum extent required by the "minimum gain chargeback" provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). (b) All "nonrecourse deductions" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) of the LLC for any year shall be allocated to the Members in the manner in which Net Profits and Net Losses are allocated; provided, however, that nonrecourse deductions attributable to "partner nonrecourse debt" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1). (c) Items of income or gain (computed with the adjustments contained in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of the definition of "Net Profits and Net Losses") for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Members in the manner and to the extent required by the "qualified income offset" provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). (d) In no event shall Net Losses of the LLC be allocated to a Member if such allocation would cause or increase a negative balance in such Member's Capital Account (determined for purposes of this Section 5.02(d) only, by increasing the Member's Capital Account balance by (i) the amount the Member is obligated to restore to the LLC pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) and (ii) such Member's share of "minimum gain" and of "partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain" as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), respectively). (e) Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by Code Section 704, for tax purposes, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated to the Members in the same manner as are Net Profits and Net Losses; provided, however, that if the Carrying Value of any property of the LLC differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes, then items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit related to such property for tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of the property for tax purposes and its Carrying Value in the manner provided for under Code Section 704(c). (f) In the event that Net Profits, Net Losses or items thereof in respect of any Investment are allocated to one or more Members pursuant to subsections (a) through (d) above, subsequent Net Profit, Net Losses or items thereof will first be allocated (subject to the provisions of subsections (a) through (d)) to the Members in a manner designed to result in each Member having been allocated an amount of Net Profits, Net Losses or items thereof attributable to each Investment as such Member would have been allocated had Section 5.02 not been contained in this Agreement. ARTICLE VI MANAGEMENT 6.01 Management of the LLC. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Act, all powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the LLC shall be controlled by the Members. (b) Except to the extent that this Agreement specifically provides for a higher or lower number or percentage of Members, all decisions respecting any matter set forth herein or otherwise affecting or arising out of the conduct of the business of the LLC shall be made by action of a Majority in Number of the Class B Members; provided that, Class B Members with respect to whom a Separation Event has occurred shall have no right to vote on or participate in any matter or decision to be made by 12

the Class B Members and shall be disregarded for all purposes in determining the number of Class B Members which constitute a Majority in Number of the Class B Members. Subject to the foregoing, the Class B Members shall have the exclusive right and full authority to manage, conduct and operate the LLC business. Specifically, but not by way of limitation, the Class B Members (by action of such Majority in Number) shall be authorized, for and on behalf of the LLC: (i) to borrow money, to issue evidences of indebtedness and to guarantee the debts of others for whatever purposes they may specify, and, as security therefor, to pledge or otherwise encumber the assets of the LLC; (ii) to cause to be paid on or before the due date thereof all amounts due and payable by the LLC to any person or entity; (iii) to employ such agents, employees, managers, accountants, attorneys, consultants and other persons necessary or appropriate to carry out the business and affairs of the LLC, whether or not any such persons so employed are Members or are affiliated or related to any Member, and to pay such fees, expenses, salaries, wages and other compensation to such persons as the Members shall in their sole discretion determine; (iv) to pay, extend, renew, modify, adjust, submit to arbitration, prosecute, defend or compromise, upon such terms as they may determine and upon such evidence as they may deem sufficient, any obligation, suit, liability, cause of action or claim, including taxes, either in favor of or against the LLC; (v) to pay any and all fees and to make any and all expenditures which the Class B Members, in their discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the organization of the LLC, and the carrying out of its obligations and responsibilities under this or any other Agreement; (vi) to invest the assets of the LLC, and to lease, sell, finance, refinance or dispose of all or any portion of the LLC's property; (vii) to cause the LLC to make or revoke any of the elections referred to in Sections 108, 704, 709, 754 or 1017 of the Code or any similar provisions enacted in lieu thereof, or in any other Section of the Code; (viii) to establish and maintain reserves for such purposes and in such amounts as they deem appropriate from time to time; (ix) to pay all organizational expenses and general and administrative expenses of the LLC; (x) to deal with, or otherwise engage in business with, or provide services to and receive compensation therefor from, any person who has provided or may in the future provide any services to, lend money to, sell property to, or purchase property from the LLC, including without limitation, a Member; (xi) to engage in any kind of activity and to perform and carry out contracts of any kind necessary to, or in connection with, or incidental to the accomplishment of the purposes of the LLC; 13

(xii) to compromise the obligation of a Member to make a contribution to the capital of the LLC or to return to the LLC money or other property paid or distributed to such Member in violation of this Agreement or the Act; (xiii) to cause to be paid any and all taxes, charges and assessments that may be levied, assessed or imposed upon any of the assets of the LLC, unless the same are contested by the Class B Members; and (xiv) to exercise all powers and authority granted by the Act to members, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. (d) Any Class B Member is authorized to execute, deliver and file on behalf of the LLC any documents to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The signature of one Class B Member on any agreement, contract, instrument or other document shall be sufficient to bind the LLC in respect thereof and conclusively evidence the authority of such Class B Member and the LLC with respect thereto, and no third party need look to any other evidence or require the joinder or consent of any other party. (e) Each Class B Member is authorized to use the title "Managing Director" when acting on behalf of the LLC in the conduct of the LLC's business. (f) No Class A Member, in his or her capacity as such, shall be authorized to act for or on behalf of or to bind the LLC. 6.02 Tax Matters Partner. Andrew J. Hajducky, III shall be the tax matters partner for the LLC pursuant to Code Sections 6221 through 6231. 6.03 Liability of the Members; Indemnification. (a) No Member shall be liable to the LLC or any other Member for any act or omission taken by the Member in good faith and in the belief that such act or omission is in the best interests of the LLC; provided that such act or omission is not in violation of this Agreement and does not constitute negligence, misconduct, fraud or a willful violation of law by the Member. No Member shall be liable to the LLC or any other Member for any action taken by any other Member, nor shall any Member (in the absence of negligence, misconduct, fraud or a willful violation of law by the Member) be liable to the LLC or any other Member for any action of any employee or agent of the LLC provided that the Member shall have exercised appropriate care in the selection and supervision of such employee or agent. 14

(b) Each Member and its respective partners, agents, employees and Affiliates (the "Indemnitees") shall be and hereby are (i) indemnified and held harmless by the LLC and (ii) released by the other Members from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages, losses, suits, proceedings and actions for which such Indemnitee has not otherwise been reimbursed (collectively, "Liabilities"), whether judicial, administrative, investigative or otherwise, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that may accrue to the LLC or any other Member or in which any of the Indemnitees may become involved, as a party or otherwise, arising out of the conduct of the business or affairs of the LLC by the respective Indemnitee or otherwise relating to this Agreement, provided that an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or release hereunder if it shall have been determined by a Majority in Number of the Class B Members that (x) such person did not act in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the LLC and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, did not have reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was lawful, or (y) such Liabilities shall have arisen from a violation of this Agreement or the negligence, misconduct, fraud or willful violation of law by such Indemnitee, or actions of such Indemnitee outside the scope of and unauthorized by this Agreement, and provided further that an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any liability arising in connection with its activities performed for or on behalf of any Portfolio Company, the securities of which have been sold or have been distributed to the Members pursuant to Article IV, if such activities were performed after the date on which such securities were sold or distributed. The termination of any proceeding by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the LLC or that the Indemnitee did not have reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was lawful. The indemnification rights provided for in this Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of the LLC and this Agreement. Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder may be advanced by the LLC prior to the final disposition thereof provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the claim relates to the performance of duties or services by the Indemnitee on behalf of the LLC and (ii) the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the LLC if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder or under applicable law. The right of any Indemnitee to indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnitee's successors, assigns and legal representatives. The obligations of the Members under this Section 6.03(b) shall be satisfied only after any applicable insurance proceeds have been exhausted and then only out of LLC assets and, to the extent required by law, distributions made by the LLC to the Members, and the Members shall have no liability to fund any indemnification payment hereunder. 6.04 Liability of Members. The liability of the Members for the losses, debts and obligations of the LLC shall be limited to their capital contributions; provided, however, that under applicable law, the Members may under certain circumstances be liable to the LLC to the extent of previous distributions made to them in the event that the LLC does not have sufficient assets to discharge its liabilities. 6.05 Certain Fees and Expenses. All out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by any Member in connection with the LLC's business (other than overhead and similar expenses of any Member) shall be paid by the LLC or reimbursed to the Member by the LLC. 15

6.06 Other Activities. (a) Subject to Section 6.06(b) below, the Members and their respective Affiliates may engage in and possess interests in other business ventures and investment opportunities of every kind and description, independently or with others, including serving as directors, officers, stockholders, managers, members and general or limited partners of corporations, partnerships or other limited liability companies with purposes similar to or the same as those of the LLC. Neither the LLC nor any other Member shall have any rights in or to such ventures or opportunities or the income or profits therefrom. (b) Each Member agrees that (I) during his or her employment by the Employer, and (II) while he or she holds any interest in the LLC, such Member will not, directly or indirectly: (x) recruit, solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any employee or consultant of the Employer or of any Portfolio Company or of any Affiliate of any of them to terminate his or her employment with, or otherwise cease any relationship with, the Employer or any Portfolio Company or any Affiliate of any of them; or (y) solicit, divert, take away, or attempt to divert or take away, any investment opportunity with respect to any Portfolio Company or any investment opportunity with respect to any prospective investment or prospective portfolio company which the Employer contacted or solicited during such Member's employment relationship with the Employer. If any restriction set forth herein is found by any court to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time, or over too great a range of activities, or over too broad a geographic area, the restriction shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities, or geographic area which the court finds to be enforceable. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.06(b) are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Employer, the Portfolio Companies and the Affiliates of any of them and are considered by such Member to be reasonable for such purpose and that his or her interest in the LLC is being received partly in consideration for the foregoing covenant. ARTICLE VII BOOKS, RECORDS AND BANK ACCOUNTS 7.01 Books and Records. The Class B Members shall keep or cause to be kept just and true books of account with respect to the operations of the LLC. Such books shall be maintained at the LLC's principal place of business, or at such other place as the Members shall determine, and all Members, and their duly authorized representatives, shall at all reasonable times have access to such books as well as any information required to be made available to the Members under the Act. The Class B Members shall not be required to deliver or mail copies of the LLC's Certificate of Formation or copies of certificates of amendment thereto or cancellation thereof to the Members, although such documents shall be available for review and/or copying by the Members at the LLC's principal place of business. 7.02 Accounting Basis and Fiscal Year. The LLC's books shall be kept on the accrual method of accounting, or on such other method of accounting as the Members may from time to time determine, and shall be closed and balanced at the end of each fiscal year of the LLC. The fiscal year of the LLC shall be the calendar year. 16

7.03 Bank Accounts. The Class B Members shall be responsible for causing one or more accounts to be maintained in a bank (or banks), which accounts shall be used for the payment of the expenditures incurred by the Class B Members in connection with the business of the LLC, and in which shall be deposited any and all cash receipts of the LLC. All deposits and funds not needed for the operations of the LLC may be invested in such short-term investments as the Class B Members may determine. All such amounts shall be and remain the property of the LLC, and shall be received, held and disbursed by the Class B Members for the purposes specified in this Agreement. There shall not be deposited in any of said accounts any funds other than funds belonging to the LLC, and no other funds shall in any way be commingled with such funds. 7.04 Reports to Members. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Class B Members shall cause the LLC to furnish to each Member (i) such information as may be needed to enable the Members to file their federal income tax returns and any required state income tax returns, and (ii) a balance sheet of the LLC as of the last day of such fiscal year, and financial statements of the LLC for such fiscal year, none of which need be audited. The cost of such reporting shall be paid by the LLC as a LLC expense. Any Member may, at any time, at its own expense, cause an audit of the LLC books to be made by a certified public accountant of its own selection. All expenses incurred by such accountant shall be borne by such Member. ARTICLE VIII TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS OF MEMBERS 8.01 Substitution and Assignment of Member's Interest. (a) Subject to Section 8.01(b) below, no Member may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its interest in the LLC (whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law), unless a Majority in Number of the Class B Members shall have previously consented to transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or disposition in writing, the granting or denying of which consent shall be in the Class B Members' absolute discretion. The provisions of this Section 8.01(a) shall not be applicable to any assignment of the interest of a Member to a Permitted Transferee (provided that no such Permitted Transferee may be admitted to the LLC as a substitute Member except as provided in Section 8.01(c) below). (b) No assignment of the interest of a Member shall be made if, in the opinion of counsel to the LLC, such assignment (i) may not be effected without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) would result in the violation of any applicable state securities laws, (iii) would result in a termination of the LLC under Section 708 of the Code, unless such a transfer is consented to by a Majority in Number of the Class B Members, (iv) would result in the treatment of the LLC as an association taxable as a corporation or as a "publicly-traded limited partnership" for tax purposes, unless such a transfer is consented to by a Majority in Number of the Class B Members or (v) would require the LLC or any Fund to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended. The LLC shall not be required to recognize any assignment until the instrument conveying such interest has been delivered to the LLC for recordation on the books of the LLC. Unless an assignee becomes a substituted Member in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(c), it shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder, other than the right to receive all or part of the share of the Net Profits, Net Losses, distributions of cash or property or returns of capital to which his assignor would otherwise be entitled. 17

(c) An assignee of the interest of a Member, or any portion thereof, shall become a substituted Member entitled to all the rights of a Member if, and only if: (i) the assignor gives the assignee such right; (ii) a Majority in Number of the Class B Members consent to such substitution, the granting or denying of which consent shall be in the Class B Members' absolute discretion; (iii) the assignee or the assignor pays to the LLC all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such substitution, including specifically, without limitation, costs incurred in the review and processing of the assignment and in amending this Agreement; and (iv) the assignee executes and delivers such instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to the LLC, as may be necessary or desirable to effect such substitution and to confirm the agreement of the assignee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. (d) The LLC and the Class B Members shall be entitled to treat the record owner of any interest in the LLC as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions of cash or other property made in good faith to such owner until such time as a written assignment of such interest has been received and accepted by the Class B Members and recorded on the books of the LLC. The Class B Members may refuse to accept an assignment until the end of the next successive quarterly accounting period. In no event shall any interest in the LLC, or any portion thereof, be sold, transferred or assigned to a minor or incompetent, and any such attempted sale, transfer or assignment shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind the LLC. (e) If a Member who is an individual dies or a court of competent jurisdiction adjudges him to be incompetent to manage his person or his property, the Member's executor, administrator, guardian, conservator or other legal representative may exercise all of the Member's rights hereunder, but solely for the purpose of settling his estate or administering his property, and in no event shall such executor, administrator, guardian, conservator or legal representative participate in any way in the conduct of the business of the LLC, or in the making of any decision or the taking of any action provided for hereunder (including without limitation, Section 6.01(a) or (b)) for any other purpose. If a Member is a corporation, trust or other entity, and is dissolved or terminated, the powers of that Member may be exercised by its legal representative or successor. 8.02 Additional Members. (a) Additional Class A Members may be admitted to the LLC at any time and from time to time upon the written consent of a Majority in Number of the Class B Members. Additional Class B Members may be admitted to the LLC at any time and from time to time upon the written consent of a Majority in Number of the Class B Members. Any such consent shall specify the Maximum Contribution Obligation, if any, and/or the capital contribution, if any, and Percentage Interest of the additional Member, and any other rights and obligations of such additional Member. Any such approval shall bind all Members. In connection with any such admission of an additional Member, this Agreement (including Schedules A and B) shall be amended to reflect the additional Member, its capital contribution, if any, its Percentage Interest, and any other rights and obligations of the additional Member. (b) In connection with any such admission of an additional Member, the Percentage Interest or other rights and interests of the Class A Members in the LLC shall not be diluted or otherwise modified or adjusted. Unless all Class B Members (exclusive of those with respect to whom a Separation 18

Event has occurred) otherwise agree in connection with the admission of any additional Member to the LLC, the Percentage Interests of all Class B Members (but not the Percentage Interests of the Class A Members) shall be diluted proportionately based on their respective Percentage Interests immediately prior to any such admission. (c) Each Member, and each person who is hereinafter admitted to the LLC as a Class B Member, hereby consents to the admission to the LLC of any such third party on such terms as may be approved by the Class B Members in accordance with this Section 8.02, and to any amendment to this Agreement which may be necessary or appropriate to reflect the admission of any such third party and the terms of its interest in the LLC. Each Class B Member acknowledges that, in connection with any admission of any such person, such Class B Member's interest in allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses and distributions of cash and property of the LLC, and net proceeds upon liquidation of the LLC, may be diluted or otherwise altered (subject to the provisions of this Section 8.02). (d) Any amendment to this Agreement which shall be made in order to effectuate the provisions of this Section 8.02 shall be executed by the number of Class B Members required to approve the admission of the additional Member or Members, as described in Section 8.02, and the Member being admitted to the LLC, and any such amendment shall be binding upon all of the Members. ARTICLE IX DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION 9.01 Events of Dissolution. (a) The LLC shall be dissolved: (i) on a date designated in writing by a Majority in Number of the Class B Members; (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of all of the LLC's assets; or (iii) upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act. (b) Dissolution of the LLC shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the LLC shall not terminate until the LLC's Certificate of Formation shall have been cancelled and the assets of the LLC shall have been distributed as provided herein. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the LLC, prior to the termination of the LLC, as aforesaid, the business of the LLC and the affairs of the Members, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement. A liquidator appointed by the Class B Members (who may be a Member), shall liquidate the assets of the LLC, and distribute the proceeds thereof as contemplated by this Agreement and cause the cancellation of the LLC's Certificate of Formation. 19

9.02 Distributions Upon Liquidation. (a) After payment of liabilities owing to creditors, the liquidator shall set up such reserves as it deems reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the LLC. Said reserves may be paid over by such liquidator to a bank, to be held in escrow for the purpose of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations and, at the expiration of such period as such liquidator may deem advisable, such reserves shall be distributed to the Members or their assigns in the manner set forth in paragraph (b) below. (b) After paying such liabilities and providing for such reserves, the liquidator shall cause the remaining net assets of the LLC to be distributed to all Members with positive Capital Account balances (after such balances have been adjusted to reflect all debits and credits required by applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code for all events through and including the distribution in liquidation of the LLC), in proportion to and to the extent of such positive balances. In the event that any part of such net assets consists of notes or accounts receivable or other non-cash assets, the liquidator may take whatever steps it deems appropriate to convert such assets into cash or into any other form which would facilitate the distribution thereof. If any assets of the LLC are to be distributed in kind, such assets shall be distributed on the basis of their fair market value net of any liabilities. No Member shall have any right or interest in or to the name "@ Ventures" and all rights and interest in such name shall, upon termination of the LLC, be assigned and transferred to CMGI or an Affiliate designated by CMGI. ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS 10.01 Notices. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any and all notices, requests, elections, consents or demands permitted or required to be made under this Agreement shall be in writing, signed by the Member giving such notice, request, election, consent or demand, and shall be delivered personally, or sent by registered or certified mail, or by overnight mail, Federal Express or other similar commercial overnight courier, to the other Member or Members at their addresses set forth in Schedule A, and, in the case of a notice to the LLC, at the address of its principal office as set forth in Article I hereof, or at such other address as may be supplied by written notice given in conformity with the terms of this Section 10.01.

Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement, and each and every provision hereof, shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Members, their respective successors, successors-in-title, heirs and assigns, and each and every successor-in-interest to any Member, whether such successor acquires such interest by way of gift, purchase, foreclosure, or by any other method, shall hold such interest subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 10.03 Amendments. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement (including without limitation, Section 3.04 and Article VIII), this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a Majority in Number of the Class B Members; provided that (x) no such amendment shall increase the liability of, increase the obligations of or adversely affect the interest of, any Member without the specific approval of such Member (other than upon the occurrence of a Separation Event, or upon admission of a Member in accordance with Section 8.02); (y) if any provision of this Agreement provides for the approval or consent of a greater number of Members or of Members holding a higher percentage of the total Percentage Interests of the Members, any amendment effectuated pursuant to such provision, and 20

any amendment to such provision, shall require the approval or consent of such greater number of Members or of Members holding such higher percentage of Percentage Interests; and (z) subject to clauses (x) and (y) above, any amendment to this Section 10.03 shall require the approval of Class B Members holding not less than two-thirds of all Percentage Interests held by all Class B Members. 10.04 Partition. The Members hereby agree that no Member nor any successor-in-interest to any Member, shall have the right while this Agreement remains in effect to have the property of the LLC partitioned, or to file a complaint or institute any proceeding at law or in equity to have the property of the LLC partitioned, and each Member, on behalf of himself, his successors, representatives, heirs and assigns, hereby waives any such right. It is the intention of the Members that during the term of this Agreement, the rights of the Members and their successors-in-interest, as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and that the right of any Member or successor-in-interest to assign, transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of his interest in the LLC shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions of this Agreement. 10.05 No Waiver. The failure of any Member to insist upon strict performance of a covenant hereunder or of any obligation hereunder, irrespective of the length of time for which such failure continues, shall not be a waiver of such Member's right to demand strict compliance in the future. No consent or waiver, express or implied, to or of any breach or default in the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligation hereunder. 10.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and complete agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 10.07 Captions.

This Agreement may be executed in a number of counterparts, all of which together shall for all purposes constitute one Agreement, binding on all the Members notwithstanding that all Members have not signed the same counterpart. 10.09 Applicable Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 10.10 Gender, Etc. In the case of all terms used in this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, as the context requires. 10.11 Creditors.

The LLC may hold any of its assets in its own name or in the name of its nominee, which nominee may be one or more trusts.

Each Member, by execution of this Agreement or an amendment hereto reflecting such Member's admission to the LLC, hereby represents and warrants to the LLC that: (a) It is acquiring an interest in the LLC for its own account for investment only, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder. (b) It understands that (i) the interest in the LLC it is acquiring has not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and cannot be resold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and such laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available, (ii) such registration under the Securities Act and such laws is unlikely at any time in the future and neither the LLC nor the Members are obligated to file a registration 6

statement under the Securities Act or such laws, and (iii) the assignment, sale, transfer, exchange, or other disposition of the interests in the LLC is restricted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (c) It has had such opportunity as it has deemed adequate to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the LLC concerning the LLC, and to obtain from representatives of the LLC such information which the LLC possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense, as is necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the LLC. (d) It has, either alone or with its professional advisers, sufficient experience in business, financial and investment matters to be able to evaluate the merits and risks involved in investing in the LLC and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such investment.

ARTICLE III CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS 3.01 Capital Contributions.

No Member shall be obligated or permitted to contribute any additional capital to the LLC. No interest shall accrue on any contributions to the capital of the LLC, and no Member shall have the right to withdraw or to be repaid any capital contributed by it or to receive any other payment in respect of its interest in the LLC, including without limitation as a result of the withdrawal or resignation of such Member from the LLC, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. ARTICLE IV CASH DISTRIBUTIONS 4.01 Distribution of Distributable Cash. Except as provided in Section 9.02(b) below, Distributable Cash of the LLC shall be distributed to the Members, at such times and in such amounts as the Voting Members may determine, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. 4.02 Distributions in Kind. A Member, regardless of the nature of his contribution to the LLC, shall have no right to demand or receive any distribution from the LLC in any form other than cash. The LLC may, at any time and from time to time, make distributions in kind to the 7

Members. If any assets of the LLC are distributed in kind, such assets shall be distributed on the basis of their fair market value as determined by the Voting Members. Any Member entitled to any interest in such assets shall, unless otherwise determined by the Voting Members, receive separate assets of the LLC and not an interest as a tenant-in-common with other Members so entitled in any asset being distributed. 4.03 Certain Payments to Tax Authorities Treated as Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the LLC is required, or elects, pursuant to applicable law, either (i) to pay tax (including estimated tax) on a Member's allocable share of any LLC items of income or gain, whether or not distributed, or (ii) to withhold and pay over to the tax authorities any portion of a distribution otherwise distributable to a Member, and such tax or withheld amount shall be treated as a distribution to such Member at the time it is paid to the tax authorities. In the event that the amount paid (or paid over) to the tax authorities on behalf of a Member exceeds the amount that would then have been distributed to the Member absent such tax obligation, such excess shall be treated as a demand loan from the LLC to such Member, which loan shall bear interest at the prime rate announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal, until paid in full. ARTICLE V ALLOCATION OF NET PROFITS AND NET LOSSES 5.01 Basic Allocations. (a) Except as provided in Section 5.02 below (which shall be applied first), Net Profits of the LLC for any relevant period shall be allocated as follows: (i) First, to any Members having negative Adjusted Capital Account balances, in proportion to and to the extent of such negative balances; and (ii) The balance, if any, to the Members in such proportions and in such amounts as would result in the Adjusted Capital Account balance of each Member equaling, as nearly as possible, such Member's share of the then LLC Capital determined by calculating the amount the Member would receive if an amount equal to the LLC Capital were distributed to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 hereof. (b) Except as provided in Section 5.02 below (which shall be applied first), Net Losses of the LLC for any relevant period shall be allocated among the Members as follows: (i) First, to each Member with a positive Adjusted Capital Account balance, in the amount of such positive balance; provided, however, that if the amount of Net Losses to be allocated is less than the sum of the Adjusted Capital Account balances of all Members having positive Adjusted Capital Account balances, then the Net Losses shall be allocated to the Members in such proportions and in such amounts as would 8

result in the Adjusted Capital Account balance of each Member equaling, as nearly as possible, such Member's share of the then LLC Capital determined as set forth in Section 5.01(a) above; and (ii) The balance, if any, to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. (c) If the amount of Net Profits allocable to the Members pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(ii) or the amount of Net Losses allocable to them pursuant to Section 5.01(b)(i) is insufficient to allow the Adjusted Capital Account balance of each Member to equal such Member's share of the LLC Capital, such Net Profits or Net Losses shall be allocated among the Members in such a manner as to decrease the differences between the Members' respective Adjusted Capital Account balances and their respective shares of the LLC Capital in proportion to such differences. (d) Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses provided for in this Section 5.01 shall generally be made as of the end of the fiscal year of the LLC; provided, however, that allocations of items of Net Profits and Net Losses described in clause (vi) of the definition of "Net Profits" and "Net Losses" shall be made at the time deemed realized as described in the definition of "Capital Account." (e) Upon admission of any Member to the LLC following the date of formation of the LLC, any deduction attributable to such admission shall be allocated among the Members of the LLC (determined immediately prior to the admission of such new Member), in proportion to such Members' respective Percentage Interests as in effect immediately prior to such admission. 5.02 Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01 above, the following allocations of Net Profits, Net Losses and items thereof shall be made in the following order of priority: (a) Items of income or gain (computed with the adjustments contained in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of the definition of "Net Profits and Net Losses") for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Members in the manner and to the minimum extent required by the "minimum gain chargeback" provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). (b) All "nonrecourse deductions" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) of the LLC for any year shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests; provided, however, that nonrecourse deductions attributable to "partner nonrecourse debt" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1). (c) Items of income or gain (computed with the adjustments contained in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of the definition of "Net Profits and Net Losses") for any taxable 9

period shall be allocated to the Members in the manner and to the extent required by the "qualified income offset" provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). (d) In no event shall Net Losses of the LLC be allocated to a Member if such allocation would cause or increase a negative balance in such Member's Adjusted Capital Account (determined for purposes of this Section 5.02(d) only, by increasing the Member's Adjusted Capital Account balance by the amount the Member is obligated to restore to the LLC pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c). (e) Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by Code Section 704, for tax purposes, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated to the Members in the same manner as are Net Profits and Net Losses; provided, however, that if the Carrying Value of any property of the LLC differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes, then items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit related to such property for tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of the property for tax purposes and its Carrying Value in the manner provided for under Code Section 704(c). ARTICLE VI MANAGEMENT 6.01 Management of the LLC. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Act, all powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the LLC shall be controlled by the Members. (b) Except to the extent that this Agreement specifically provides for a higher or lower number or percentage or group of Members, all decisions respecting any matter set forth herein or otherwise affecting or arising out of the conduct of the business of the LLC shall be made by action of a Majority in Number of the Voting Members. Subject to the foregoing, the Voting Members shall have the exclusive right and full authority to manage, conduct and operate the LLC business. Specifically, but not by way of limitation, the Voting Members (by action of such Majority in Number) shall be authorized, for and on behalf of the LLC: (i) to borrow money, to issue evidences of indebtedness and to guarantee the debts of others for whatever purposes they may specify, whether or not related to the LLC or the LLC's assets, and, as security therefor, to mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber the assets of the LLC; (ii) to cause to be paid on or before the due date thereof all amounts due and payable by the LLC to any person or entity; (iii) to employ such agents, employees, managers, accountants, 10

attorneys, consultants and other persons necessary or appropriate to carry out the business and affairs of the LLC, whether or not any such persons so employed are Members or are affiliated or related to any Member, and to pay such fees, expenses, salaries, wages and other compensation to such persons as the Voting Members shall in their sole discretion determine; (iv) to pay, extend, renew, modify, adjust, submit to arbitration, prosecute, defend or compromise, upon such terms as they may determine and upon such evidence as they may deem sufficient, any obligation, suit, liability, cause of action or claim, including taxes, either in favor of or against the LLC; (v) to pay any and all fees and to make any and all expenditures which the Voting Members, in their discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the organization of the LLC, and the carrying out of its obligations and responsibilities under this or any other Agreement; (vi) to lease, sell, finance or refinance all or any portion of the LLC's property; (vii) to cause the LLC to make or revoke any of the elections referred to in Sections 108, 704, 709, 754 or 1017 of the Code or any similar provisions enacted in lieu thereof, or in any other Section of the Code; (viii) to establish and maintain reserves for such purposes and in such amounts as it deems appropriate from time to time; (ix) to pay all organizational expenses and general and administrative expenses of the LLC; (x) to deal with, or otherwise engage in business with, or provide services to and receive compensation therefor from, any person who has provided or may in the future provide any services to, lend money to, sell property to, or purchase property from the LLC, including without limitation, a Member; (xi) to engage in any kind of activity and to perform and carry out contracts of any kind necessary to, or in connection with, or incidental to the accomplishment of the purposes of the LLC; (xii) to compromise the obligation of a Member to make a contribution to the capital of the LLC or to return to the LLC money or other property paid or distributed to such Member in violation of this Agreement or the Act; (xiii) to cause to be paid any and all taxes, charges and assessments that may be levied, assessed or imposed upon any of the assets of the LLC, unless the same are contested by the Voting Members; and 11

(xiv) to exercise all powers and authority granted by the Act to members, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. (c) Any Member is authorized to execute, deliver and file on behalf of the LLC any documents to be filed with the Secretary of States of the State of Delaware, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any other jurisdiction in which the LLC may qualify to transact business. The signature of one Member on any agreement, contract, instrument or other document shall be sufficient to bind the LLC in respect thereof and conclusively evidence the authority of such Member and the LLC with respect thereto, and no third party need look to any other evidence or require the joinder or consent of any other party. (d) The Voting Members, by action of a Majority in Number thereof, may at any time and from time to time change the status of any Member from Voting to Non-Voting, and vice versa.

Hajducky III shall be the tax matters partner for the LLC pursuant to Code Sections 6221 through 6231. The tax matters partner may be removed or replaced, at any time, by action of a Majority in Number of the Voting Members. 6.03 Liability of the Members; Indemnification. Neither the Members, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to the LLC or to any other Member for any loss suffered by the LLC which arises out of any action or inaction of such Member or their Affiliates if such Member or its Affiliates, as the case may be, in good faith, determined that such course of conduct was in the best interests of the LLC and such course of conduct did not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or intentional violation of the law on the part of such Member or its Affiliates. Each Member and its Affiliates shall be indemnified by the LLC against any losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them with respect to actions taken by them on behalf of the LLC, provided that the same were not the result of gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or intentional violation of the law on the part of such Member or its Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, the Voting Members may elect (on a case by case basis) to permit such indemnification to include payment by the LLC of expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if he shall be adjudicated not to be entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.03, which undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of such person to make repayment. Any indemnity under this Section 6.03 shall be paid from, and only to the extent of, LLC assets, and no Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof. 6.04 Liability of Members. The liability of the Members for the losses, debts and obligations of the LLC shall be limited to their capital contributions; provided, however, that under applicable law, the Members may under certain circumstances be liable to the LLC to the extent of previous distributions made to them in the event that the LLC does not have sufficient 12

assets to discharge its liabilities. 6.05 Certain Fees and Expenses. All out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by any Member in connection with the LLC's business (other than overhead and similar expenses of any Member) shall be paid by the LLC or reimbursed to the Member by the LLC. 6.06 Conflicts of Interest. No contract or transaction between the LLC and one or more of its Members or Affiliates, or between the LLC and any other corporation, partnership association or other organization in which one or more of its Members or Affiliates are directors, officers or partners or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for such reason, or solely because the Member or Affiliate is present at or participates in any meeting of Members which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his, her or its vote is counted for such purpose, if: (a) the material facts as to his, her or its interest as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Voting Members and the Voting Members authorize the contract or transaction by a vote sufficient for such purpose without counting the vote of the interested Member even though the disinterested Voting Members may be less than a Majority in Number of the Voting Members; (b) the material facts as to his, her or its interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Voting Members entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved by a vote of the Voting Members; or (c) the contract or transaction is fair to the LLC or its Affiliates as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Voting Members. 6.07 Other Activities. Each of the Members hereby agrees to use its best efforts in connection with the purposes and objectives of the LLC and to devote to such purposes and objectives such of his time and resources as shall be necessary for the management of the affairs of the LLC. Subject to Section 8.03 below and the terms of any other agreement between the LLC and any Member, the Members and their respective Affiliates may engage in and possess interests in other business ventures and investment opportunities of every kind and description, independently or with others, including serving as directors, officers, stockholders, managers, members and general or limited partners of corporations, partnerships or other limited liability companies with purposes similar to or the same as those of the LLC. Neither the LLC nor any other Member or Manager shall have any rights in or to such ventures or opportunities or the income or profits therefrom.

Such books shall be maintained at the 13

LLC's principal place of business, or at such other place as the Voting Members shall determine, and all Members, and their duly authorized representatives, shall at all reasonable times have access to such books as well as any information required to be made available to the Members under the Act. The Members shall not be required to deliver or mail copies of the LLC's Certificate of Formation or copies of certificates of amendment thereto or cancellation thereof to the Members, although such documents shall be available for review and/or copying by the Members at the LLC's principal place of business. 7.02 Accounting Basis and Fiscal Year. The LLC's books shall be kept on the accrual method of accounting, or on such other method of accounting as the Voting Members may from time to time determine, and shall be closed and balanced at the end of each fiscal year of the LLC. The fiscal year of the LLC shall be the calendar year, or such other fiscal year as the Voting Members may from time to time determine. 7.03 Bank Accounts. The Voting Members shall be responsible for causing one or more accounts to be maintained in a bank (or banks), which accounts shall be used for the payment of the expenditures incurred by the Members in connection with the business of the LLC, and in which shall be deposited any and all cash receipts of the LLC. All deposits and funds not needed for the operations of the LLC may be invested in such short-term investments as the Voting Members may determine. All such amounts shall be and remain the property of the LLC, and shall be received, held and disbursed by the Voting Members for the purposes specified in this Agreement. There shall not be deposited in any of said accounts any funds other than funds belonging to the LLC, and no other funds shall in any way be commingled with such funds. 7.04 Reports to Members. Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Members shall cause the LLC to furnish to each Member such information as may be needed to enable the Members to file their federal income tax returns and any required state income tax returns.

Any Member may, at any time, at its own expense, cause an audit of the LLC books to be made by a certified public accountant of its own selection. All expenses incurred by such accountant shall be borne by such Member. ARTICLE VIII TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS OF MEMBERS 8.01 Substitution and Assignment of Member's Interest. (a) No Member may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its interest in the LLC (whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law), unless a Majority in Number of the Voting Members (exclusive of the transferring Member) shall have previously consented to such assignment in writing, the granting or denying of which consent shall be in the such Voting Members' absolute discretion. The provisions of this Section 8.01(a) shall not be applicable to (i) any transfer of an interest in the LLC pursuant to Sections 8.03 or 8.04, or (ii) any assignment of an interest to a Permitted 14

Transferee (provided that such Permitted Transferee may not be admitted as a substitute Member without compliance with this Section 8.01(a)). (b) No assignment of the interest of a Member shall be made if, in the opinion of counsel to the LLC, such assignment (i) may not be effected without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) would result in the violation of any applicable state securities laws, (iii) would result in a termination of the LLC under Section 708 of the Code, unless such a transfer is consented to by a Majority in Number of the Voting Members without regard to the transferring Member or (iv) would result in the treatment of the LLC as an association taxable as a corporation or as a "publicly-traded limited partnership" for tax purposes, unless such a transfer is consented to by a Majority in Number of the Voting Members without regard to the transferring Member. The LLC shall not be required to recognize any assignment until the instrument conveying such interest has been delivered to the LLC for recordation on the books of the LLC. Unless an assignee becomes a substituted Member in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(c), it shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder, other than the right to receive all or part of the share of the Net Profits, Net Losses, items of income, gain, loss or deduction, distributions or returns of capital to which his assignor would otherwise be entitled. (c) An assignee of the interest of a Member, or any portion thereof, shall become a substituted Member entitled to all the rights of a Member if, and only if: (i) the assignor gives the assignee such right; (ii) the Voting Members by action of a Majority in Number thereof (without regard to the transferring Member) consent to such substitution, the granting or denying of which consent shall be in such Voting Members' absolute discretion; (iii) the assignee or the assignor pays to the LLC all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such substitution, including specifically, without limitation, costs incurred in the review and processing of the assignment and in amending this Agreement; and (iv) the assignee executes and delivers such instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to the LLC, as may be necessary or desirable to effect such substitution and to confirm the agreement of the assignee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 8.01(c) shall not be applicable to any transfer of an interest in the LLC pursuant to Sections 8.03 or 8.04. (d) Unless a Majority in Number of the Voting Members (exclusive of the assignor) otherwise approve, any assignee of the interest of a Voting Member who becomes a substitute Member shall be and become a Voting Member, and any assignee of the interest of a Non-Voting Member who becomes a substitute Member shall be and become a Non-Voting Member. 15

(e) The LLC and the Members shall be entitled to treat the record owner of any interest in the LLC as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions of cash or other property made in good faith to such owner until such time as a written assignment of such interest has been received and accepted by the Members and recorded on the books of the LLC. The Voting Members may refuse to accept an assignment until the end of the next successive quarterly accounting period. In no event shall any interest in the LLC, or any portion thereof, be sold, transferred or assigned to a minor or incompetent, and any such attempted sale, transfer or assignment shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind the LLC. (f) Subject to Section 8.04, if a Member who is an individual dies or a court of competent jurisdiction adjudges him to be incompetent to manage his person or his property, the Member's executor, administrator, guardian, conservator or other legal representative may exercise all of the Member's rights hereunder, but solely for the purpose of settling his estate or administering his property, and in no event shall such executor, administrator, guardian, conservator or legal representative participate in any way in the conduct of the business of the LLC, or in the making of any decision or the taking of any action provided for hereunder (including without limitation, Section 6.01(a) or (b)) for any other purpose. If a Member is a corporation, trust or other entity, and is dissolved or terminated, the powers of that Member may be exercised by its legal representative or successor. 8.02 Additional Members. Except as provided in Sections 8.01, 8.03 and 8.04, additional Members may be admitted to the LLC only upon the written consent of 75% in Number of the Voting Members, and any such consent shall specify whether the Member is a Voting or Non-Voting Member and the capital contribution, Percentage Interest and any other rights and obligations of such additional Member. Such approval shall bind all Members. In connection with any such admission, this Agreement (including Schedule A) shall be amended to reflect the additional Member, its capital contribution, if any, its Percentage Interest, and any other rights and obligations of the additional Member. In connection with any such admission of additional Members, the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be diluted proportionately, based on their respective Percentage Interests immediately prior to any such dilution. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the interest of any third party admitted to the LLC pursuant to this Section 8.02 in the Net Profits, Net Losses, items of income, gain, loss or deduction, and distributions of cash or property of any nature may have such priority or priorities in relationship to the interests therein of the Members as 75% in Number of the Voting Members may in their sole discretion determine, provided that, the relative priorities of the Members in the Net Profits, Net Losses, items of income, gain, loss or deduction, and distributions of any nature of the LLC shall not be altered as a result of the admission of any such new member. Each Member, and each person who is hereinafter admitted to the LLC as a Member, hereby (i) consents to the admission of any such third party on such terms as 75% in Number of the Voting Members may determine (subject to the provisions of this Section 8.02), and to any amendment to this Agreement which may be necessary or appropriate to reflect the admission of any such third party and the terms on which it invests in the LLC, and (ii) acknowledges that, in 16

connection with any admission of any such person, such Member's interest in allocations of Net Profits, Net Losses, items of income, gain, loss or deduction, and distributions of cash and property of the LLC, and net proceeds upon liquidation of the LLC, may be diluted or otherwise altered (subject to the provisions of this Section 8.02). Any amendment to this Agreement which shall be made in order to effectuate the provisions of this Section 8.02 shall be executed by not less than 75% in Number of the Voting Members, and any such amendment shall be binding upon all of the Members. 8.03 Right to Remove a Member. (a) The Members, by action of Two-thirds in Number of the Voting Members (determined exclusive of the Member which is the subject of removal pursuant to this Section 8.03(a) (the "Subject Member")), may remove any Member from the LLC, with or without cause, for any reason or for no reason. Following the effective date of any such removal, the removed Member shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the LLC, and thereafter shall not be entitled to participate in allocations of Net Profits or Net Losses of the LLC, or in distributions of cash and property of the LLC or net proceeds upon liquidation of the LLC. A removed Member shall not be entitled to any distribution, payment or other compensation from the LLC in respect of his removal as a Member of the LLC pursuant to this Section 8.03(a). (b) Any Member may be removed from the LLC, for Cause (as defined below), by action of a Majority in Number of the Voting Members (determined exclusive of the Subject Member). Following the effective date of any such removal, the removed Member shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the LLC, and thereafter shall not be entitled to participate in allocations of Net Profits, Net Losses or items of income gain, loss or deduction of the LLC, or in distributions of cash and property of the LLC or net proceeds upon liquidation of the LLC. A removed Member shall not be entitled to any distribution, payment or other compensation from the LLC in respect of his removal as a Member of the LLC pursuant to this Section 8.03(b). For purposes of this Section 8.03(b), the LLC shall have "Cause" to remove a Member if: (i) the Member is convicted of a felony involving dishonesty or moral turpitude; or (ii) the Member engages in any business or enterprise (whether as owner, partner, officer, director, employee, consultant, investor, lender or otherwise, except as the holder of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of a publicly-held company) that is competitive with the business of the LLC or the entities to which the LLC provides management services, as reasonably determined by 75% in Number of the Voting Members exclusive of the Subject Member. 8.04 Death or Disability of a Member. Upon the death or disability (as hereinafter defined) of any Member, the LLC may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase the interest of such Member. The purchase price for such interest shall equal the fair market value of such interest, as reasonably determined by agreement of (x) the legal representatives of the deceased or disabled Member and (y) a Majority in Number of the Voting Members. If such persons are 17

unable to agree upon such fair market value, such value shall be determined by an independent appraiser, mutually acceptable to the legal representatives of the deceased or disabled Member and a Majority in Number of the Voting Members. For purposes of this Agreement, a Member shall be deemed to be disabled if he is unable, as a result of mental or physical incapacity, to render services to the LLC on a regular ongoing basis for a period of 180 days. The purchase price for the interest shall be paid in cash, or by delivery of a promissory note of the LLC, or some combination thereof, as the LLC may determine. Any such promissory note shall be unsecured, and shall provide for payment of equal annual installments over a term not to exceed four years, and shall bear interest at the then Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in Code Section 1274(d)) for a note with the maturity date of such promissory note. Such promissory note shall be prepayable by the LLC at any time without premium or penalty. The closing of a purchase pursuant to this Section 8.04 shall be held at the principal office of the LLC within 60 days after the date on which the purchase price for the interest is determined, but in no event more than one year after the date of death or the date on which the disabled Member is determined to be disabled, as applicable. The estate or legal representative of the deceased or disabled Member shall transfer to the LLC (or its designee) the entire interest of such Member in the LLC, free and clear of all liens, security interests and competing claims, and shall deliver to the LLC or its designee such instruments of assignment, transfer, releases and such evidence of due authorization, execution and delivery and of the absence of any liens, security interests or competing claims as the LLC shall reasonably request. Each Member shall execute and deliver at such closing such other instruments as shall be necessary, appropriate or convenient to effectuate such transfer. ARTICLE IX DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION 9.01 Events of Dissolution. (a) The LLC shall be dissolved: (i) on a date designated in writing by 75% in Number of the Voting Members; (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of all of the LLC's assets; or (iii) upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act. (b) Dissolution of the LLC shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the LLC shall not terminate until the LLC's Certificate of Formation shall have been cancelled and the assets of the LLC shall have been distributed as 18

provided herein. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the LLC, prior to the termination of the LLC, as aforesaid, the business of the LLC and the affairs of the Members, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement. A liquidator appointed by the Voting Members (which liquidator may be a Member), shall liquidate the assets of the LLC, and distribute the proceeds thereof as contemplated by this Agreement and cause the cancellation of the LLC's Certificate of Formation. 9.02 Distributions Upon Liquidation. (a) After payment of liabilities owing to creditors, the liquidator shall set up such reserves as it deems reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the LLC. Said reserves may be paid over by such liquidator to a bank, to be held in escrow for the purpose of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations and, at the expiration of such period as such liquidator may deem advisable, such reserves shall be distributed to the Members or their assigns in the manner set forth in paragraph (b) below. (b) After paying such liabilities and providing for such reserves, the liquidator shall cause the remaining net assets of the LLC to be distributed to all Members with positive Capital Account balances (after such balances have been adjusted to reflect all debits and credits required by applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code for all events through and including the distribution in liquidation of the LLC), in proportion to and to the extent of such positive balances. In the event that any part of such net assets consists of notes or accounts receivable or other non-cash assets, the liquidator may take whatever steps it deems appropriate to convert such assets into cash or into any other form which would facilitate the distribution thereof. If any assets of the LLC are to be distributed in kind, such assets shall be distributed on the basis of their fair market value net of any liabilities. ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS 10.01 Notices.

EXHIBIT 10.76 @VENTURES III, L.P. MANAGEMENT CONTRACT AGREEMENT between @Ventures III, L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Partnership"), and @Ventures Management, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware with its principal office in Andover, Massachusetts (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership. WHEREAS, the Partnership has been formed pursuant to an Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Agreement") for the purpose of making investments in Portfolio Companies; and WHEREAS, the Partnership wishes to engage the Company to provide certain services to further the objectives and purposes of the Partnership, and the Company is willing to provide such services; NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, it is agreed as follows: 1. Services to be Rendered by the Company to the Partnership. The Company will use its best efforts to provide the Partnership with investment opportunities in Portfolio Securities meeting the requirements of the Agreement. The Company shall provide such assistance as the Partnership may reasonably request in identifying, evaluating, structuring, consummating, monitoring and disposing of potential investments by the Partnership. All investment decisions shall be made by the general partner of the Partnership on behalf of the Partnership, and nothing in this contract shall be construed to constitute the Company an agent of the Partnership. 2. Other Activities. It is understood and agreed that the Company may have management, consulting, service or other contracts with other entities, including companies in which the Partnership invests. The Partnership agrees that the Company shall be free to pursue such opportunities, and that the Partnership shall have no interest therein. 3. Payment of Expenses. The Company, so long as this Contract is in effect, shall be responsible for and shall pay all of its out-of-pocket expenses and those of the General Partner, including expenses which relate to salaries, office space, supplies and other facilities of their businesses, except as set forth in Section 6.5A(4) of the Agreement. It is expected that in the case of consummated investments, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that all the fees and expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with identifying, evaluating, structuring and consummating such investments will be paid by the Portfolio Company in which the investment was made. 4. The Management Fee. As full compensation for the services rendered to the

Partnership hereunder and the expenses borne by the Company hereunder, during the period ending four (4) years after the Initial Closing Date (the "Initial Payment Period"), the Partnership shall pay the Company a management fee equal to 2% per annum of the aggregate Capital Commitments of all Partners. The management fee shall be paid semi-annually in advance commencing on the Initial Closing Date of the Partnership and continuing on the first days of each February and August thereafter until termination of this Contract. Subsequent to the end of the Initial Payment Period, the management fee will be equal to 1% per annum of the aggregate Capital Commitments of all Partners. In addition the management fee will be reduced by one-half during any period in which the Partnership is in a Continuity Mode as provided in Section 6.4 of the Agreement and to the extent that the Partnership is placed in a Continuity Mode during any period with respect to which the management fee has already been paid, such reduction shall be reflected as a credit against the management fee to be paid in the following semi-annual period. 5. Set-Offs Against Management Fee. The Company, the General Partner and their respective Affiliates may receive management, directors', consulting and other similar fees and compensation from companies in which the Partnership invests, provided that the amount of such fees and other compensation is reasonable in relation to the work performed by the Company and bear a reasonable relation to fees and compensation charged for similar work by third parties. One half of such fees and other compensation (referred to herein as "Shared Portfolio Company Fees") shall be credited against the management fee payable by the Partnership, the Foreign Fund and CMGI in proportion to their respective aggregate capital commitments. In addition, subject to Section 6.2.0 of the Agreement, any fee, reimbursement or other form of compensation payable by a third party as a result of the failure to consummate an investment ("Break-up Fees") to the Partnership, the General Partner, the Company or their respective Affiliates shall be paid as follows: An amount equal to the aggregate unreimbursed fees and expenses paid by the Partnership, the General Partner, the Company or their Affiliates which were specific to the transaction giving rise to such fee shall be paid to each such entity in proportion to the fees and expenses incurred by it. The balance of any such Break-Up Fee shall be paid to the Company; provided that one-half of the remaining Break-Up Fee shall be credited against the management fee payable by the Partnership, the Foreign Fund and CMGI in proportion to their respective aggregate capital commitments. To the extent that the sum of such Shared Portfolio Company Fees and Break-up Fees exceed the management fee payable to the Company for that period, such excess shall be credited against the management fee payable by the Partnership, the Foreign Fund and CMGI (in proportion to their respective aggregate capital commitments) in subsequent periods. In the event that such amounts exceed total future installments of the management fee, they shall be paid to the Partnership, the Foreign Fund and CMGI (in proportion to their respective aggregate capital commitments) and included as Operating Receipts. A determination of the amount of management fee set-off, if any, shall be made semi-annually as of June 30 and January 31 of each calendar year and any such amount shall be credited against the next installment of the management fee otherwise payable. 6. Term and Termination. This Contract shall become effective on its execution and shall remain in full force and effect continuously thereafter until the earlier to occur of (i) the date the Partnership is wound up, liquidated and dissolved, and (ii) the removal of @Ventures Partners III, LLC as the general partner of the Partnership.

without the payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment by the Company without the consent of the Partnership. 7. Liability and Indemnification. The Company shall not be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any act or omission taken or suffered by the Company in good faith and in the belief that such act or omission is in or is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership; provided that such act or omission is not in violation of this Contract and does not constitute negligence, misconduct, fraud or a willful violation of the law by the Company.

The management fee shall be paid semi-annually in advance commencing on the date hereof and continuing on the first days of each February and August thereafter until termination of this Contract. Subsequent to the end of the Initial Payment Period, the management fee will be equal to 1% per annum of the aggregate Capital Commitments of all Members. The management fee will be reduced by one-half during any period in which the Domestic Fund is in a Continuity Mode as provided in Section 6.4 of the Domestic Fund Agreement and to the extent that the Domestic Fund is placed in a Continuity Mode during any period with respect to which the management fee has already been paid, such reduction shall be reflected as a credit against the management fee to be paid in the following semi-annual period. 5. Set-Offs Against Management Fee. The Company, the Managing Member and their respective Affiliates may receive management, directors', consulting and other similar fees and compensation from companies in which the LLC invests, provided that the amount of such fees and other compensation is reasonable in relation to the work performed by the Company and bear a reasonable relation to fees and compensation charged for similar work by third parties. One-half of such fees and other compensation (referred to herein as "Shared Portfolio Company Fees") shall be credited against the management fee payable by the LLC and the Funds in proportion to their respective aggregate capital commitments. In addition, any Break-up Fee paid to the LLC, the Managing Member, the Company or their respective Affiliates shall be paid as follows: An amount equal to the aggregate unreimbursed fees and expenses paid by the LLC, the Managing Member, the Company or their Affiliates which were specific to the transaction giving rise to such Break-Up Fee shall be paid to each such entity in proportion to the fees and expenses incurred by it. The balance of any such Break-Up Fee shall be paid to the Company; provided that one-half of the remaining Break-Up Fee shall be credited against the management fee payable by the LLC and the Funds in proportion to their respective aggregate capital commitments. To the extent that the sum of such Shared Portfolio Company Fees and Break-up Fees exceed the management fee payable to the Company for any period, such excess shall be credited against the management fee payable by the LLC and the Funds (in proportion to their respective aggregate capital commitments) in subsequent periods. In the event that such amounts exceed total future installments of the management fee, they shall be paid to the LLC and the Funds (in proportion to their respective aggregate capital commitments) and included as operating receipts. A determination of the amount of the management fee set-off, if any, shall be made semi-annually as of June 30 and January 31 of each calendar year and any such amount shall be credited against the next installment of the management fee otherwise payable. 6. Term and Termination. This Contract shall become effective on the date hereof and shall remain in full force and effect continuously thereafter until the earlier to occur of (i) the date the LLC is wound up, its assets are liquidated and it is dissolved, and (ii) the removal of @Ventures Partners III, LLC as the general partner of the Domestic Fund. This Contract shall automatically terminate, without the payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment by the Company without the consent of the LLC. 7. Liability and Indemnification. The Company shall not be liable to the LLC or any 2

Member for any act or omission taken or suffered by the Company in good faith and in the belief that such act or omission is in or is not opposed to the best interests of the LLC; provided that such act or omission is not in violation of this Contract and does not constitute negligence, misconduct, fraud or a willful violation of the law by the Company. The LLC agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and release the Company and its respective agents, officers, employees, directors and affiliates to the same extent that such indemnification is provided to the Managing Member under Section 6.03 of the Limited Liability Company Agreement.
