INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
The following documents filed by NetGenesis Corp. (the "Registrant")
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated
in this Registration Statement by reference:
(a) The Registrant's Prospectus (the "Prospectus") dated February

the registration statement on Form 8-A filed with the
Commission on February 25, 2000 under Section 12 of the

report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been
sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
The validity of the securities registered hereby is being passed upon
for the Registrant by Foley, Hoag & Eliot LLP, Boston, Massachusetts.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the
request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and
expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or
is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person
shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal
proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful, provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of
the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as
to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such
indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
Article SEVENTH of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") provides that the Registrant
shall indemnify each person who at any time is, or shall have been a director or
officer of the Registrant, and is threatened to be or is made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or
<PAGE> 3
investigative, by reason of the fact that he is, or was, a director or officer
of the Registrant, or served at the request of the Registrant as a director,
officer, employee, trustee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection
with any such action, suit or proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law of Delaware.
Article SEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation further provides
that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive of any other rights
of indemnification to which any such director or officer may be entitled, under
any by-law, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise.
Article NINTH of the Certificate of Incorporation provides that to the
maximum extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended, no director shall be personally liable to
the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of a breach
of his fiduciary duty as a director.
The Registrant has a Directors and Officers liability policy that
insures the Registrant's officers and directors against certain liabilities.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.
(b) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
2. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
<PAGE> 4
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
