set forth in this Agreement, whereby each issued and outstanding share of

Exchange of Certificates
Section 2.01. Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue
of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of
i-Cube Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Sub:
(a) Capital Stock of Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock
of Sub shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving
Corporation.
(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Razorfish-Owned Stock. Each share of
i-Cube Common Stock that is owned by i-Cube, Sub or Razorfish shall
automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no
consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
(c) Conversion of i-Cube Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.02(e), each
issued and outstanding share of i-Cube Common Stock (other than shares to be
canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(b)) shall be converted into the right
to receive 0.875 (the "Exchange Ratio") fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Razorfish ("Razorfish
Common Stock") (the "Merger Consideration"). As of the Effective Time, all such
shares of i-Cube Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall
automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder
of a certificate representing any such shares of i-Cube Common Stock shall
cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the
Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Razorfish
Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of
such certificate in accordance with Section 2.02, without interest.
(d) Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event Razorfish changes (or establishes
a record date for changing) the number of shares of Razorfish Common Stock
issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Date as a result of a stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision, reclassification,

split, stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision, reclassification,
combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction.
Section 2.02. Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Exchange Agent. As of the Effective Time, Razorfish shall enter into an
agreement with such bank or trust company as may be designated by Razorfish
(the "Exchange Agent"), which shall provide that Razorfish shall deposit with
the Exchange Agent as of the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of
shares of i-Cube Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II,
through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of Razorfish
Common Stock (such shares of Razorfish Common Stock, together with any
dividends or distributions with respect thereto with a record date after the
Effective Time and any cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares of
Razorfish Common Stock being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund")
issuable pursuant to Section 2.01 in exchange for outstanding shares of i-Cube
Common Stock.
(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a
certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time
represented outstanding shares of i-Cube Common Stock (the "Certificates")
whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration
pursuant to Section 2.01, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that
delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates
shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and
shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Razorfish and i-Cube
may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering the
Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a
Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter
of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be
required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall receive in
exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of
Razorfish Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to
the provisions of this Article II, certain dividends or other distributions in
accordance with Section 2.02(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional share of
Razorfish Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.02(e), and the Certificate
so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of
ownership of i-Cube Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer
records of i-Cube, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of
Razorfish Common Stock may be issued to a person (as defined in Section 8.03)
other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is
registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in
proper form for transfer and the person requesting such issuance shall pay any
transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of
Razorfish Common Stock to a person other than the registered holder of such
Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Razorfish that such tax has
been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this
Section 2.02(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the
Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the
Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Razorfish
Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of
such certificate in accordance with this Section 2.02. No interest shall be
paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to
the provisions of this Article II.
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other
distributions with respect to Razorfish Common Stock with a record date after
the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate
with respect to the shares of Razorfish Common Stock represented thereby, and
no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder
pursuant to Section 2.02(e), and all such dividends, other distributions and
cash in lieu of fractional shares of Razorfish Common Stock shall be paid by
Razorfish to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in
each case until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this
Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable escheat or similar laws,
following surrender of any such Certificate there shall be paid to the holder
of the certificate representing whole shares of Razorfish Common Stock issued
in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the
amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the
Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Razorfish
Common Stock, and the amount of any
A-3
<PAGE>
cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Razorfish Common Stock to which
such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e) and (ii) at the appropriate
payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date
after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date
subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of
Razorfish Common Stock.
(d) No Further Ownership Rights in i-Cube Common Stock. All shares of
Razorfish Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates
in accordance with the terms of this Article II (including any cash paid
pursuant to this Article II) shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in
full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of i-Cube Common Stock
theretofore represented by such Certificates, subject, however, to the
Surviving Corporation's obligation to pay any dividends or make any other
distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have
been declared or made by i-Cube on such shares of i-Cube Common Stock which
remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and there shall be no further registration
of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the
shares of i-Cube Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the
Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be
canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, except as otherwise
provided by law.
(e) No Fractional Shares. (i) No certificates or scrip representing
fractional shares of Razorfish Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender
for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution of Razorfish shall
relate to such fractional share interests and such fractional share interests
will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of
Razorfish.
(ii) Razorfish shall pay each former holder of i-Cube Common Stock an
amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the
fractional share interest to which such former holder (after taking into
account all shares of i-Cube Common Stock held at the Effective Time by
such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (B) the closing price for a
share of Razorfish Common Stock as furnished by the National Association of
Securities Dealers through Nasdaq on the Closing Date, and, in such case,
all references herein to the cash proceeds of the sale of the Excess Shares
and similar references shall be deemed to mean and refer to the payments
calculated as set forth in this Section 2.02(e)(ii).
(iii) As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of
cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Certificates formerly representing
i-Cube Common Stock with respect to any fractional share interests, the
Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts to such holders of
Certificates formerly representing i-Cube Common Stock subject to and in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.02(c).
(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which
remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates for twelve months
after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Razorfish, upon demand by
Razorfish, and any holders of the Certificates who have not theretofore
complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Razorfish for
payment of their claim for Merger Consideration, any dividends or distributions
with respect to Razorfish Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional
shares of Razorfish Common Stock.
(g) No Liability. None of Razorfish, Sub, i-Cube or the Exchange Agent shall
be liable to any person in respect of any shares of Razorfish Common Stock, any
dividends or distributions with respect thereto, any cash in lieu of fractional
shares of Razorfish Common Stock or any cash from the Exchange Fund, in each
case delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned
property, escheat or similar law.
(h) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash
included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Razorfish, on a daily basis. Any
interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to
Razorfish.
(i) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming
such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Razorfish,
the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Razorfish may
direct as
A-4
<PAGE>
indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such
Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration and, if applicable, any
unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Razorfish Common Stock
deliverable in respect thereof and any cash in lieu of fractional shares, in
each case pursuant to this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties
Section 3.01. Representations and Warranties of i-Cube. Except as disclosed
in the i-Cube Filed SEC Documents (as defined in Section 3.01(g)) or as set
forth on the Disclosure Schedule delivered by i-Cube to Razorfish prior to the
execution of this Agreement (the "i-Cube Disclosure Schedule") and making
reference to the particular subsection of this Agreement to which exception is
being taken, i-Cube represents and warrants to Razorfish and Sub as follows:
(a) Organization, Standing and Corporate Power. Each of i-Cube and its
subsidiaries (as defined in Section 8.03) is a corporation or other legal
entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to
jurisdictions which recognize such concept) under the laws of the jurisdiction
in which it is organized and has the requisite corporate or other power, as the
case may be, and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted,
except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so organized, existing
or in good standing individually or in the aggregate is not reasonably likely
to have a material adverse effect (as defined in Section 8.03) on i-Cube. Each
of i-Cube and its subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business and
is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions which recognize such
concept) in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the
ownership, leasing or operation of its properties makes such qualification or
licensing necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so
qualified or licensed or to be in good standing individually or in the
aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on i-Cube.
i-Cube has made available to Razorfish prior to the execution of this Agreement
complete and correct copies of its certificate of incorporation and by-laws, as
amended to date.
(b) Subsidiaries. Exhibit 21 to I-Cube's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 includes all of the subsidiaries of I-Cube
which as of the date of this Agreement are Significant Subsidiaries (as defined
in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

interests in, each such Significant Subsidiary and Conduit Communications
Limited have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and are
owned directly or indirectly by i-Cube, free and clear of all pledges, claims,
liens, charges, encumbrances and security interests of any kind or nature
whatsoever (collectively, "Liens") and free of any restriction on the right to
vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other ownership
interests.
(c) Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of i-Cube consists of
100 million shares of i-Cube Common Stock and one million shares of preferred

and Conduit Plan (such plans, collectively, the "i-Cube Stock Plans") (of which
7,023,643 are subject to outstanding i-Cube Stock Options (as defined below)).
Except as set forth above, no shares of capital stock or other voting
securities of i-Cube were issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. There
are no outstanding stock appreciation rights ("SARs") or rights (other than the
i-Cube Stock Options) to receive shares of i-Cube Common Stock on a deferred
basis granted under the i-Cube Stock Plans or otherwise. i-Cube has delivered
to Razorfish a complete and correct list, as of August 6, 1999, of the number
of shares of i-Cube Common Stock subject to outstanding stock options or other
rights to purchase or receive i-Cube Common Stock granted under the i-Cube
Stock Plans (collectively,
A-5
<PAGE>
"i-Cube Stock Options") and the exercise prices thereof. Except as set forth on
the i-Cube Disclosure Schedule, no bonds, debentures, notes or other
indebtedness of i-Cube having the right to vote (or convertible into, or
exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which
stockholders of i-Cube may vote are issued or outstanding. All outstanding
shares of capital stock of i-Cube are, and all shares which may be issued will
be, when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and not subject to preemptive rights. Except as set forth in this Section
3.01(c), (x) there are not issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding (A) any
shares of capital stock or other voting securities of i-Cube, (B) any
securities of i-Cube convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares
of capital stock or voting securities of i-Cube, (C) any warrants, calls,

for capital stock or voting securities of i-Cube and (y) there are not any
outstanding obligations of i-Cube or any i-Cube subsidiary to repurchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire any such securities or to issue, deliver or sell,
or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, any such securities. i-Cube is not a
party to any voting agreement with respect to the voting of any such

subsidiary convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of
capital stock or other voting securities or ownership interests in any i-Cube
subsidiary, (B) warrants, calls, options or other rights to acquire from i-Cube
or any i-Cube subsidiary, and no obligation of i-Cube or any i-Cube subsidiary

subsidiary or (C) obligations of i-Cube or any i-Cube subsidiary to repurchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire any such outstanding securities of i-Cube
subsidiaries or to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or
sold, any such securities. Other than the i-Cube subsidiaries, i-Cube does not
directly or indirectly beneficially own any securities or other beneficial
ownership interests in any other entity.
(d) Authority; Noncontravention. i-Cube has all requisite corporate power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to the i-Cube
Stockholder Approval (as defined in Section 3.01(m)), to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by i-Cube and the consummation by i-Cube of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of i-Cube, subject, in the case of the Merger, to
the i-Cube Stockholders Approval. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by i-Cube and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery
by each of the other parties hereto, constitutes legal, valid and binding
obligations of i-Cube, enforceable against i-Cube in accordance with its terms.
Without limiting the other provisions of this Section 3.01(d) above, the Board
of Directors of i-Cube, at a meeting duly called and held has, in light of and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) determined that this
Agreement, the i-Cube Voting Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated hereby and by the i-Cube Voting Agreement are fair and in the best
interests of the stockholders of i-Cube, and (b) resolved to recommend to the
i-Cube Shareholders approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Merger. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and compliance with the provisions
of this Agreement will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or
default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise
to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or
loss of a benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the
properties or assets of i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries under, (i) the
certificate of incorporation or by-laws of i-Cube or the comparable
organizational documents of any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any loan or credit
agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement,

referred to in the following sentence, any judgment, order, decree, statute,
law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to i-Cube or any of its
subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, other than, in the case
of clauses (ii) and (iii), any such conflicts, violations, defaults, rights,
losses or Liens that individually or in the aggregate are not (x) reasonably
likely to have a material adverse effect on i-Cube or (y) reasonably likely to
impair the ability of i-Cube to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

registration, declaration or filing with, any federal, state, local or foreign
government, any court, administrative, regulatory or other governmental agency,
commission or authority or any non-governmental self-regulatory agency,

respect to i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the execution

and all other information incorporated therein) with the SEC since June 18,
1998 (the "i-Cube SEC Documents"). As of their respective dates, the i-Cube SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act,
as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated
thereunder applicable to such i-Cube SEC Documents, and none of the i-Cube SEC
Documents when filed contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. Except to the extent that information contained
in any i-Cube SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later filed
i-Cube SEC Document, none of the i-Cube SEC Documents contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial
statements of i-Cube included in the i-Cube SEC Documents comply as to form, as
of their respective dates of filing with the SEC, in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of
the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (except, in the case of unaudited statements, as
permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the
periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly
present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of i-Cube
and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated
results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject,
in the case of unaudited statements, to normal recurring year-end audit
adjustments). Except (i) as reflected in such financial statements or in the
notes thereto or (ii) for liabilities incurred in connection with this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, neither i-Cube
nor any of its subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature
which, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on i-Cube.
(f) Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied
by i-Cube specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the
registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by Razorfish in
connection with the issuance of Razorfish Common Stock in the Merger (the "Form
S-4") will, at the time the Form S-4 becomes effective under the Securities
Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading or (ii) the Joint Proxy Statement will, at the date it
is first mailed to i-Cube's stockholders or at the time of the i-Cube
Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of
A-7
<PAGE>
the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The Joint Proxy
Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, except that no
representation or warranty is made by i-Cube with respect to statements made or
incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by Razorfish
specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Joint Proxy
Statement.
(g) Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except for liabilities incurred in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and
except as disclosed in the i-Cube SEC Documents filed and publicly available
prior to the date of this Agreement (as amended to the date of this Agreement,
the "i-Cube Filed SEC Documents"), since December 31, 1998 i-Cube and its
subsidiaries have conducted their business only in the ordinary course, and
there has not been (1) any material adverse change (as defined in Section 8.03)
in i-Cube, (2) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or
other distribution (whether in cash, stock or property) with respect to any of
i-Cube's capital stock, (3) any split, combination or reclassification of any
of i-Cube's capital stock or any issuance or the authorization of any issuance
of any other securities in respect of, in lieu of or in substitution for shares
of i-Cube's capital stock, except for issuances of i-Cube Common Stock upon the
exercise of i-Cube Stock Options under the i-Cube Stock Plans, in each case
awarded prior to the date hereof in accordance with their present terms, (4)
(A) any granting by i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries to any current or former
director or executive officer of i-Cube or its subsidiaries of any increase in
compensation, bonus or other benefits, except for stock option grants listed on
Schedule 3.01(g) and normal increases in cash compensation in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice or as was required under any
employment agreements in effect as of the date of the most recent audited
financial statements included in the i-Cube Filed SEC Documents, (B) any
granting by i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries to any such current or former
director, executive officer or key employee of any increase in severance or
termination pay, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice, (C) any entry by i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries into, or any
amendments of, any employment, deferred compensation, consulting, severance,
termination or indemnification agreement with any such current or former
director, executive officer or key employee, or (D) any amendment to, or
modification of, any i-Cube Stock Option, (5) except insofar as may have been
required by a change in generally accepted accounting principles, any change in
accounting methods, principles or practices by i-Cube materially affecting its
assets, liabilities or business, (6) any tax election that individually or in
the aggregate is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on i-Cube
or any of its tax attributes or any settlement or compromise of any material
income tax liability, or (7) any action taken by i-Cube or any of its
subsidiaries during the period from December 31, 1998 to the date of this
agreement, that, if taken during the period from the date of this agreement
through the Effective Time would constitute a breach of section 4.01(a).
(h) Litigation. There is no suit, action or proceeding pending or, to the
knowledge of i-Cube, threatened against or affecting i-Cube or any of its
subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to
have a material adverse effect on i-Cube nor is there any judgment, decree,
injunction, rule or order of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding
against i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries having, or which is reasonably likely
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on i-Cube;
provided that for purposes of this paragraph (h) any such suit, action,
proceeding, judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order arising after the date
hereof shall not be deemed to have a material adverse effect on i-Cube if and
to the extent such suit, action, proceeding, judgment, decree, injunction, rule
or order (or any relevant part thereof) is based on this Agreement, or the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(i) Compliance with Applicable Laws. i-Cube, its subsidiaries and employees
hold all permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders, registrations and
approvals of all Governmental Entities which are required for the operation of
the businesses of i-Cube and its subsidiaries (the "i-Cube Permits"), except
where the failure to have any such i-Cube Permits individually or in the
aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on i-Cube.
i-Cube and its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of the i-Cube
Permits and all applicable statutes, laws, ordinances, rules and regulations,
except where the failure so to comply individually or in the aggregate is not
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on i-Cube. No action,
A-8
<PAGE>
demand, requirement or investigation by any Governmental Entity and no suit,
action or proceeding by any person, in each case with respect to i-Cube or any
of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, is pending or, to
the knowledge of i-Cube, threatened, other than, in each case, those the
outcome of which individually or in the aggregate are not (i) reasonably likely
to have a material adverse effect on i-Cube or (ii) reasonably likely to impair
the ability of i-Cube to perform its obligations under this Agreement or
prevent or materially delay the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided that for purposes of this paragraph
(i) any such action, demand, requirement or investigation or any such suit,
action or proceeding arising after the date hereof shall not be deemed to have
a material adverse effect on i-Cube if and to the extent such action, demand,
requirement or investigation or such suit, action or proceeding (or any
relevant part thereof) is based on this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.
(j) Absence of Changes in Benefit Plans. Since the date of the most recent
audited financial statements included in the i-Cube Filed SEC Documents, there
has not been any adoption or amendment in any material respect by i-Cube or any
of its subsidiaries of any collective bargaining agreement or any material
bonus, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, incentive compensation,
stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option, phantom stock, retirement,
vacation, severance, disability, death benefit, hospitalization, medical,
welfare benefit or other plan, arrangement or understanding providing benefits
to any current or former employee, officer or director of i-Cube or any of its
wholly owned subsidiaries or any other trade or business, whether or not
incorporated, which would be treated as a single employer with Code under
Section 4001 or ERISA or Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code
(collectively, the "i-Cube Benefit Plans"), or any material change in any
actuarial or other assumption used to calculate funding obligations with
respect to any i-Cube pension plans, or any change in the manner in which
contributions to any i-Cube pension plans are made or the basis on which such
contributions are determined.
(k) ERISA Compliance. (i) With respect to the i-Cube Benefit Plans, no event
has occurred and, to the knowledge of i-Cube, there exists no condition or set
of circumstances, in connection with which i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries
could be subject to any liability that individually or in the aggregate is
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on i-Cube under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), the Code
or any other applicable law.
(ii) Each i-Cube Benefit Plan has been administered in accordance with
its terms, except for any failures so to administer any i-Cube Benefit Plan
that individually or in the aggregate are not reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on i-Cube. i-Cube, its subsidiaries and all the
i-Cube Benefit Plans are in compliance with the applicable provisions of
ERISA, the Code and all other applicable laws and the terms of all
applicable collective bargaining agreements, except for any failures to be
in such compliance that individually or in the aggregate are not reasonably
likely to have a material adverse effect on i-Cube. Each i-Cube Benefit
Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) or 401(k) of the
Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS that it is
so qualified and each trust established in connection with any i-Cube
Benefit Plan that is intended to be exempt from federal income taxation
under Section 501(a) of the Code has received a determination letter from
the IRS that such trust is so exempt. To the knowledge of i-Cube, no fact
or event has occurred since the date of any determination letter from the
IRS which is reasonably likely to affect adversely the qualified status of
any such i-Cube Benefit Plan or the exempt status of any such trust. There
are no pending or, to the knowledge of i-Cube, threatened lawsuits, claims,
grievances, investigations or audits of any i-Cube Benefit Plan that,
individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on i-Cube.
(iii) Neither i-Cube nor any of its subsidiaries has incurred any
liability under Title IV of ERISA (other than liability for premiums to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation arising in the ordinary course). No
i-Cube Benefit Plan has incurred an "accumulated funding deficiency"
(within the meaning of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code)
whether or not waived. To the knowledge of i-Cube, there are not any facts
or circumstances that are reasonably likely to materially change the funded
status of any i-Cube Benefit Plan that is a "defined benefit" plan (as
defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA) since the date of the most recent
actuarial report for such plan. No i-Cube Benefit Plan is a "multiemployer
plan" within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA.
A-9
<PAGE>
(iv) i-Cube and its subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal,
state and local requirements regarding employment, except for any failures
to comply that individually or in the aggregate are not reasonably likely
to have a material adverse effect on i-Cube. Neither i-Cube nor any of its
subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining or other labor union
contract applicable to persons employed by i-Cube or any of its
subsidiaries and no collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated by
i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries. As of the date of this Agreement, there
is no labor dispute, strike or work stoppage against i-Cube or any of its
subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of i-Cube, threatened which may
interfere with the respective business activities of i-Cube or any of its
subsidiaries, except where such dispute, strike or work stoppage
individually or in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on i-Cube. As of the date of this Agreement, to the
knowledge of i-Cube, none of i-Cube, any of its subsidiaries or any of
their respective representatives or employees has committed any unfair
labor practice in connection with the operation of the respective business
of i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries, and there is no charge or complaint
against i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries by the National Labor Relations
Board or any comparable governmental agency pending or threatened in
writing, in each case except where such actions, charges or complaints,
individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on i-Cube.
(v) No employee of i-Cube will be entitled to any additional benefits or
any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any benefits under
any i-Cube Benefit Plan as a result of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. No amount payable, or economic benefit provided, by i-Cube
or its subsidiaries (including any acceleration of the time of payment or
vesting of any benefit) could be considered an "excess parachute payment"
under Section 280G of the Code. No person is entitled to receive any
additional payment from i-Cube or its subsidiaries or any other person (a
"Parachute Gross-Up Payment") in the event that the excise tax of Section
4999 of the Code is imposed on such person. The Board of Directors of i-
Cube or any of its subsidiaries has not granted to any person any right to
receive any Parachute Gross-Up Payment.
(l) Taxes. (i) Each of i-Cube and its subsidiaries has timely filed all tax
returns as defined in Section 3.01 (l) (x) required to be filed by it and all
such tax returns are true, complete and correct (or requests for extensions to
file such tax returns have been timely filed, granted and have not expired).
i-Cube and each of its subsidiaries has paid (or i-Cube has paid on its behalf)
all taxes (as defined in Section 3.01(l)(ix)) shown as due on such tax returns
or otherwise due or payable, and the most recent financial statements contained
in the i-Cube Filed SEC Documents reflect an adequate reserve for all taxes
payable by i-Cube and its subsidiaries for all taxable periods and portions
thereof accrued through the date of such financial statements.
(ii) No deficiencies for any taxes have been proposed, asserted or
assessed against i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries that are not adequately
reserved for.
(iii) Neither i-Cube nor any of its subsidiaries has taken any action or
knows of any fact, agreement, plan or other circumstance that is reasonably
likely to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the
meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
(iv) The i-Cube Benefit Plans and other i-Cube employee compensation
arrangements in effect as of the date of this Agreement have been designed
so that the disallowance of a material deduction under Section 162(m) of
the Code for employee remuneration will not apply to any amounts paid or
payable by i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries under any such plan or
arrangement and, to the knowledge of i-Cube, no fact or circumstance exists
that is reasonably likely to cause such disallowance to apply to any such
amounts.
(v) Neither i-Cube nor any of its subsidiaries has constituted either a
"distributing corporation" or a "controlled corporation" in a distribution
of stock qualifying for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code
(x) in the two years prior to the date of this Agreement or (y) in a
distribution which could otherwise constitute part of a "plan" or "series
of related transactions" (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code)
in conjunction with the Merger.
A-10
<PAGE>
(vi) Neither i-Cube nor any of its subsidiaries has executed any waiver
or extension of any statute of limitations on the assessment or collection
of any taxes or with respect to any liability arising therefrom. Neither
i-Cube nor any of its subsidiaries has any liability for the taxes of any
person pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated
under the Code or comparable provisions of any taxing authority in respect
of any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return. There are no tax liens
on any assets of i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries, other than liens for
current taxes not yet due and payable and liens for taxes that are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
(vii) No consent under Section 341(f) of the Code has been filed with
respect to i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries.
(viii) There are no tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements with
respect to or involving i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries. i-Cube and each
of its subsidiaries is in compliance with the terms and conditions of any
applicable tax exemptions, tax agreements or tax orders of any government
to which it may be subject or which it may have claimed, and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not have any adverse
effect on such compliance.
(ix) As used in this Agreement, "taxes" shall include all (x) federal,
state, local or foreign income, property, sales, excise and other taxes or
similar governmental charges, including any interest, penalties or
additions with respect thereto, (y) liability for the payment of any
amounts of the type described in (x) as a result of being a member of an
affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group, and (z) liability for
the payment of any amounts as a result of being party to any tax sharing
agreement or as a result of any express or implied obligation to indemnify
any other person with respect to the payment of any amounts of the type
described in clause (x) or (y).
(x) As used in this Agreement, "tax returns" shall include any tax
return, declaration or estimated tax, tax report or other tax statement, or
any similar filing, including any schedule or attachment thereto, and
including any amendment thereof, required to be submitted to any
governmental authority with respect to any tax.
(m) Voting Requirements. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the voting power of all outstanding shares of i-Cube Common Stock at the
i-Cube Stockholders Meeting to adopt this Agreement (the "i-Cube Stockholder
Approval") is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of i-Cube's
capital stock necessary to approve and adopt this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(n) State Takeover Statutes. The Board of Directors of i-Cube (including the
disinterested directors thereof) has unanimously approved the terms of this
Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and such approval constitutes approval of the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the i-Cube
Board of Directors under the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL and
represents all the action necessary to ensure that such Section 203 does not
apply to Razorfish in connection with the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. To the knowledge of i-Cube, no other state
takeover statute is applicable to the Merger or the other transactions
contemplated hereby.
(o) Accounting Matters. To the knowledge of i-Cube, neither it nor any of
its affiliates (as defined in Section 8.03) has taken or agreed to take any
action that would prevent the business combination to be effected by the Merger
to be accounted for as a pooling of interests.
(p) Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other
person, other than Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, the fees and expenses of which
will be paid by i-Cube, is entitled to any broker's, finder's, financial
advisor's or other similar fee or commission in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or
on behalf of i-Cube. i-Cube has furnished to Razorfish true and complete copies
of all agreements under which any such fees or expenses are payable and all
indemnification and other agreements related to the engagement of the persons
to whom such fees are payable.
A-11

(q) Opinion of Financial Advisor. i-Cube has received the opinion of Morgan
Stanley Dean Witter, dated the date of this Agreement, to the effect that, as
of such date, the Exchange Ratio is fair from a financial point of view to
holders of shares of i-Cube Common Stock (other than Razorfish and its
affiliates), a signed copy of which opinion has been or will promptly be
delivered to Razorfish.
(r) Intellectual Property; Year 2000. (i) i-Cube and its subsidiaries own,
or are validly licensed or otherwise have the right to use, all patents, patent
rights, trademarks, trade secrets, trade names, service marks, copyrights and
other proprietary intellectual property rights and computer programs (the
"Intellectual Property Rights") which are material to the conduct of the
business of i-Cube and its subsidiaries.
(ii) To the knowledge of i-Cube, neither i-Cube nor any of its
subsidiaries has interfered with, infringed upon, misappropriated or
otherwise come into conflict with any Intellectual Property Rights or other
proprietary information of any other person, except for any such
interference, infringement, misappropriation or other conflict which is
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on i-Cube. Neither i-Cube nor any of its subsidiaries has
received any written charge, complaint, claim, demand or notice alleging
any such interference, infringement, misappropriation or other conflict
(including any claim that i-Cube or any such subsidiary must license or
refrain from using any Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary
information of any other person) which has not been settled or otherwise
fully resolved. To i-Cube's knowledge, no other person has interfered with,
infringed upon, misappropriated or otherwise come into conflict with any
Intellectual Property Rights of i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries, except
for any such interference, infringement, misappropriation or other conflict
which is not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on i-Cube.
(iii) As the business of i-Cube and its subsidiaries is presently
conducted and without giving effect to any changes with respect thereto
that may be made by Razorfish, to i-Cube's knowledge, Razorfish's use of
the Intellectual Property Rights which are material to the conduct of the
business of i-Cube and its subsidiaries taken as a whole will not interfere
with, infringe upon, misappropriate or otherwise come into conflict with
the Intellectual Property Rights of any other person.
(iv) i-Cube has implemented a program directed at ensuring that its and
its subsidiaries' products (including prior and current products and
technology and products and technology currently under development) will,
when used in accordance with associated documentation on a specified
platform or platforms, be capable upon installation of (i) operating in the
same manner on dates in both the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries and
(ii) accurately processing, providing and receiving date data from, into
and between the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries, including the years
1999 and 2000, and making leap-year calculations, provided that all non-i-
Cube products (e.g., hardware, software and firmware) material to the
conduct of the business of i-Cube and used in or in combination with i-
Cube's products, exchange data with i-Cube's products in the same manner on
dates in both the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries. i-Cube has taken
the steps as set forth in Section 3.01(r) of the i-Cube Disclosure Schedule
to assure that the year 2000 date change will not adversely affect the
systems and facilities that support the operations of i-Cube and its
subsidiaries, except as is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on i-Cube.
(s) Certain Contracts. Neither i-Cube nor any of its subsidiaries is a party
to or bound by any non-competition agreement or any other similar agreement or
obligation which purports to limit in any material respect the manner in which,
or the localities in which, all or any material portion of the business of i-
Cube and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is conducted.
(t) Customers. Except as listed on Schedule 3.01(t), i-Cube has no knowledge
of any loss or threatened loss of any of the ten largest customers of i-Cube or
any of its subsidiaries for the six month period ended June 30, 1999. Schedule
3.01(t) lists each of the ten largest customers of i-Cube and its subsidiaries
(in terms of amounts paid or billed, as applicable) for the six month period
ended June 30, 1999.

Section 3.02. Representations and Warranties of Razorfish and Sub. Except as
disclosed in the Razorfish Filed SEC Documents (as defined in Section 3.02(g))
or as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule delivered by Razorfish to i-Cube
prior to the execution of this Agreement (the "Razorfish Disclosure Schedule")
and making reference to the particular subsection of this Agreement to which
exception is being taken, Razorfish and Sub represent and warrant to i-Cube as
follows:
(a) Organization, Standing and Corporate Power. Each of Razorfish, Sub and
their subsidiaries is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions which
recognize such concept) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is
organized and has the requisite corporate or other power, as the case may be,
and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted, except for those
jurisdictions where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good
standing individually or in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on Razorfish. Each of Razorfish and its subsidiaries is
duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing (with respect
to jurisdictions which recognize such concept) in each jurisdiction in which
the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its
properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for those
jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or to be in good
standing individually or in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on Razorfish. Razorfish has made available to i-Cube
prior to the execution of this Agreement complete and correct copies of its
certificate of incorporation and by-laws and the certificate of incorporation
and by-laws of Sub, in each case as amended to date.
(b) Subsidiaries. Exhibit 21 to Razorfish's Registration Statement on Form
S-1 dated April 26, 1999 includes all the subsidiaries of Razorfish which as of
the date of this Agreement are Significant Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 1-
02 of Regulation S-X of the SEC). All the outstanding shares of capital stock
of, or other equity interests in, each such Significant Subsidiary have been
validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned directly or
indirectly by Razorfish, free and clear of all Liens and free of any
restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital
stock or other ownership interests.
(c) Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of Razorfish consists of
29,999,950 shares of Razorfish Common Stock, 50 shares of Class B Common Stock
("Razorfish Class B Common Stock") and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $0.01 per share, of Razorfish ("Razorfish Authorized Preferred
Stock"). (i) 24,647,504 shares of Razorfish Common Stock were issued and
outstanding, (ii) 50 shares of Razorfish Class B Common Stock were issued and
outstanding, (iii) no shares of Razorfish Preferred Stock were issued and
outstanding, and (iv) approximately 4,708,623 shares of Razorfish Common Stock
were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options or other
rights to purchase or receive Razorfish Common Stock granted under the 1997
Stock Option Plan and the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and various plans of
companies acquired by Razorfish (such plans, collectively, the "Razorfish Stock
Plans") (of which 1,632,867 are subject to outstanding Razorfish Stock Options
(as defined below)). Except as set forth above, no shares of capital stock or
other voting securities of Razorfish are issued, reserved for issuance or
outstanding. There are no outstanding stock appreciation rights ("SARs") or
rights (other than the Razorfish Stock Options) to receive shares of Razorfish
Common Stock on a deferred basis granted under the Razorfish Stock Plans or
otherwise. Razorfish has delivered to i-Cube a complete and correct list, as of
August 9, 1999 of the number of shares of Razorfish Common Stock subject to
outstanding stock options or other rights to purchase or receive Razorfish
Common Stock granted under the Razorfish Stock Plans (collectively, "Razorfish
Stock Options") and the exercise prices thereof. No bonds, debentures, notes or
other indebtedness of Razorfish having the right to vote (or convertible into,
or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on
which stockholders of Razorfish may vote are issued or outstanding. All
outstanding shares of capital stock of Razorfish are, and all shares which may
be issued will be, when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights. Except as set forth in this
Section 3.02(c) of the Razorfish Disclosure Schedule, (x) there are not issued,
reserved for issuance or outstanding (A) any shares of capital stock or other
voting securities of Razorfish, (B) any securities of Razorfish convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of capital stock or voting
securities of Razorfish, (C) any warrants, calls,
A-13
<PAGE>
options or other rights to acquire from Razorfish or any Razorfish subsidiary,
and no obligation of Razorfish or any Razorfish subsidiary to issue, any
capital stock, voting securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for capital stock or voting securities of Razorfish and (y)
there are not any outstanding obligations of Razorfish or any Razorfish
subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any such securities or to
issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, any such
securities. Razorfish is not a party to any voting agreement with respect to
the voting of any such securities. There are no outstanding (A) securities of
Razorfish or any Razorfish subsidiary convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for shares of capital stock or other voting securities or ownership
interests in any Razorfish subsidiary, (B) warrants, calls, options or other
rights to acquire from Razorfish or any Razorfish subsidiary, and no obligation
of Razorfish or any Razorfish subsidiary to issue, any capital stock, voting
securities or other ownership interests in, or any securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for any capital stock, voting securities or
ownership interests in, any Razorfish subsidiary or (C) obligations of
Razorfish or any Razorfish subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise
acquire any such outstanding securities of Razorfish subsidiaries or to issue,
deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, any such securities.
Other than the Razorfish subsidiaries, Razorfish does not directly or
indirectly beneficially own any securities or other beneficial ownership
interests in any other entity.
(d) Authority; Noncontravention. Each of Razorfish and Sub has all requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement by Razorfish and Sub and the consummation by Razorfish and Sub
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action on the part of Razorfish and Sub, as applicable
subject, in the case of the Merger, to the Razorfish Stockholder Approval. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Razorfish and Sub and,
assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the other
parties thereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Razorfish
and Sub, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms. Without
limiting the other provisions of this Section 3.02(d) above, the Board of
Directors of Razorfish, at a meeting duly called and held has, in light of and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) determined that this
Agreement, the Razorfish Voting Agreement the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated hereby and by the Razorfish Voting Agreement are fair and in the
best interests of the stockholders of Razorfish, and (b) resolved to recommend
to the Razorfish Stockholder approval and adoption of this Agreement and the
Merger. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and compliance
with the provisions of this Agreement will not, conflict with, or result in any
violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both)
under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of
any obligation or loss of a benefit under, or result in the creation of any
Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Razorfish or Sub or any of
Razorfish's other subsidiaries under, (i) the certificate of incorporation or
by-laws of Razorfish or Sub or the comparable organizational documents of any
of Razorfish's other subsidiaries, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note,
bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, permit,
concession, franchise, license or similar authorization applicable to Razorfish
or Sub or any of Razorfish's other subsidiaries or their respective properties
or assets or (iii) subject to the governmental filings and other matters
referred to in the following sentence, any judgment, order, decree, statute,
law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Razorfish or any of its
subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, other than, in the case
of clauses (ii) and (iii), any such conflicts, violations, defaults, rights,
losses or Liens that individually or in the aggregate are not (x) reasonably
likely to have a material adverse effect on Razorfish or (y) reasonably likely
to impair the ability of Razorfish or Sub to perform its obligations under this
Agreement. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, action by, or in
respect of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental
Entity is required by or with respect to Razorfish or Sub or any of Razorfish's
other subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Razorfish and Sub or the execution or the consummation by
Razorfish and Sub of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except
for (1) the filing of a premerger notification and report form by Razorfish
under the HSR Act and any applicable filings and approvals under similar
foreign antitrust laws and regulations; (2) the filing with the SEC of (A) the
Form S-4 and (B) such reports under Section 13(a), 13(d), 15(d) or 16(a) of the
Exchange Act as may be required in connection with
A-14
<PAGE>
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (3) the
filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and
appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other states in which
Razorfish is qualified to do business and such filings with Governmental
Entities to satisfy the applicable requirements of state securities or "blue
sky" laws; (4) such filings with and approvals of Nasdaq to permit the shares
of Razorfish Common Stock that are to be issued in the Merger to be quoted on
Nasdaq; and (5) such consents, approvals, orders or authorizations the failure
of which to be made or obtained individually or in the aggregate is not
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Razorfish.
(e) SEC Documents; Undisclosed Liabilities. Razorfish has filed all required
reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents (including exhibits
and all other information incorporated therein) with the SEC since April 26,
1999 (the "Razorfish SEC Documents"). As of their respective dates, the
Razorfish SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules
and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such Razorfish
SEC Documents, and none of the Razorfish SEC Documents when filed contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. Except to the extent that information contained in any Razorfish
SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later filed Razorfish SEC
Document, none of the Razorfish SEC Documents contains any untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial
statements of Razorfish included in the Razorfish SEC Documents comply as to
form, as of their respective dates of filing with the SEC, in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (except, in the case of unaudited
statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis
during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto)
and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position
of Razorfish and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the
consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal recurring year-
end audit adjustments). Except (i) as reflected in such financial statements or
in the notes thereto or (ii) for liabilities incurred in connection with this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, neither Razorfish nor any of
its subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature which,
individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on Razorfish.
(f) Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied
by Razorfish specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i)
the Form S-4 will, at the time the Form S-4 becomes effective under the
Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or (ii) the Joint Proxy Statement will, at
the date it is first mailed to Razorfish's stockholders or at the time of the
Razorfish Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they are made, not misleading. The Form S-4 will comply as to form in all
material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, except that no representation or warranty is made by
Razorfish with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein
based on information supplied by i-Cube specifically for inclusion or
incorporation by reference in the Form S-4.
(g) Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except for liabilities incurred in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and
except as disclosed in the Razorfish SEC Documents filed and publicly available
prior to the date of this Agreement (the "Razorfish Filed SEC Documents"),
since April 26, 1999, Razorfish and its subsidiaries have conducted their
business only in the ordinary course, and there has not been (1) any material
adverse change in Razorfish, (2) any declaration, setting aside or payment of
any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, stock or property) with
respect to any of Razorfish's capital stock, (3) any split, combination or
reclassification of any of Razorfish's capital stock or any issuance or
A-15
<PAGE>
the authorization of any issuance of any other securities in respect of, in
lieu of or in substitution for shares of Razorfish's capital stock, except for
issuances of Razorfish Common Stock upon the exercise of Razorfish Stock
Options under the Razorfish Stock Plans, in each case awarded prior to the date
hereof in accordance with their present terms, (4) (A) any granting by
Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries to any current or former director or
executive officer of Razorfish or its subsidiaries of any increase in
compensation, bonus or other benefits, except for stock option grants listed on
Schedule 3.02(g) and normal increases in cash compensation in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice or as was required under any
employment agreements in effect as of the date of the most recent audited
financial statements included in the Razorfish Filed SEC Documents, (B) any
granting by Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries to any such current or former
director, executive officer or key employee of any increase in severance or
termination pay, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice, (C) any entry by Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries into, or any
amendments of, any employment, deferred compensation, consulting, severance,
termination or indemnification agreement with any such current or former
director, executive officer or key employee, or (D) any amendment to, or
modification of, any Razorfish Stock Option, (5) except insofar as may have
been or required by a change in generally accepted accounting principles, any
change in accounting methods, principles or practices by Razorfish materially
affecting its assets, liabilities or business; (6) any tax election that
individually or in the aggregate is reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on Razorfish or any of its tax attributes or any settlement or
compromise of any material income tax liability or (7) any action taken by
Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries during the period from December 31, 1998
to the date of this agreement, that, if taken during the period from the date
of this agreement through the Effective Time would constitute a breach of
Section 4.01(b).
(h) Litigation. There is no suit, action or proceeding pending or, to the
knowledge of Razorfish, threatened against or affecting Razorfish or any of its
subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to
have a material adverse effect on Razorfish nor is there any judgment, decree,
injunction, rule or order of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding
against Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries having, or which is reasonably
likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on
Razorfish; provided that, for purposes of this paragraph (g), any such suit,
action, proceeding, judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order arising after
the date hereof shall not be deemed to have a material adverse effect on
Razorfish if and to the extent such suit, action, proceeding, judgment, decree,
injunction, rule or order (or any relevant part thereof) is based on this
Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(i) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Razorfish, its subsidiaries and
employees hold all permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders,
registrations and approvals of all Governmental Entities which are required for
the operation of the businesses of Razorfish and its subsidiaries (the
"Razorfish Permits") except where the failure to have any such Razorfish
Permits individually or in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on Razorfish. Razorfish and its subsidiaries are in
compliance with the terms of the Razorfish Permits and all applicable statutes,
laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, except where the failure so to comply
individually or in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on Razorfish. No action, demand, requirement or investigation by
any Governmental Entity and no suit, action or proceeding by any person, in
each case with respect to Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries or any of their
respective properties, is pending or, to the knowledge of Razorfish,
threatened, other than, in each case, those the outcome of which individually
or in the aggregate are not (i) reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on Razorfish or (ii) reasonably likely to impair the ability of
Razorfish to perform its obligations under this Agreement or prevent or
materially delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement; provided that for purposes of this paragraph (h) any such
action, demand, requirement or investigation or any such suit, action or
proceeding arising after the date hereof shall not be deemed to have a material
adverse effect on Razorfish if and to the extent such action, demand,
requirement or investigation or such suit, action or proceeding (or any
relevant part thereof) is based on this Agreement or the Voting Agreement, or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(j) Absence of Changes in Benefit Plans. Since the date of the most recent
audited financial statements included in the Razorfish Filed SEC Documents,
there has not been any adoption or amendment in any material
A-16
<PAGE>
respect by Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries of any collective bargaining
agreement or any material bonus, pension, profit sharing, deferred
compensation, incentive compensation, stock ownership, stock purchase, stock
option, phantom stock, retirement, vacation, severance, disability, death
benefit, hospitalization, medical, welfare benefit or other plan, arrangement
or understanding providing benefits to any current or former employee, officer
or director of Razorfish or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries or any other
trade or business, whether or not incorporated, which would be treated as a
single employer with i-Cube under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414(b), (c),
(m) or (o) of the Code (collectively, the "Razorfish Benefit Plans"), or any
material change in any actuarial or other assumption used to calculate funding
obligations with respect to any Razorfish pension plans, or any change in the
manner in which contributions to any Razorfish pension plans are made or the
basis on which such contributions are determined.
(k) ERISA Compliance. (i) With respect to the Razorfish Benefit Plans, no
event has occurred and, to the knowledge of Razorfish, there exists no
condition or set of circumstances, in connection with which Razorfish or any of
its subsidiaries could be subject to any liability that individually or in the
aggregate is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Razorfish
under the ERISA, the Code or any other applicable law.
(ii) Each Razorfish Benefit Plan has been administered in accordance
with its terms, except for any failures so to administer any Razorfish
Benefit Plan that individually or in the aggregate are not reasonably
likely to have a material adverse effect on Razorfish. Razorfish, its
subsidiaries and all the Razorfish Benefit Plans are in compliance with the
applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and all other applicable laws and
the terms of all applicable collective bargaining agreements, except for
any failures to be in such compliance that individually or in the aggregate
are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Razorfish.
Each Razorfish Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) or 401(k) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter
from the IRS that it is so qualified and each trust established in
connection with any Razorfish Benefit Plan that is intended to be exempt
from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code has received
a determination letter from the IRS that such trust is so exempt. To the
knowledge of Razorfish, no fact or event has occurred since the date of any
determination letter from the IRS which is reasonably likely to affect
adversely the qualified status of any such Razorfish Benefit Plan or the
exempt status of any such trust. There are no pending or, to the knowledge
of Razorfish, threatened lawsuits, claims, grievances, investigations or
audits of any Razorfish Benefit Plan that, individually or in the
aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on
Razorfish.
(iii) Neither Razorfish nor any of its subsidiaries has incurred any
liability under Title IV of ERISA (other than liability for premiums to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation arising in the ordinary course). No
Razorfish Benefit Plan has incurred an "accumulated funding deficiency"
(within the meaning of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code)
whether or not waived. To the knowledge of Razorfish, there are not any
facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to materially change the
funded status of any Razorfish Benefit Plan that is a "defined benefit"
plan (as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA) since the date of the most
recent actuarial report for such plan. No Razorfish Benefit Plan is a
"multiemployer plan" within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA.
(iv) Razorfish and its subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal,
state and local requirements regarding employment, except for any failures
to comply that individually or in the aggregate are not reasonably likely
to have a material adverse effect on Razorfish. Neither Razorfish nor any
of its subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining or other labor
union contract applicable to persons employed by Razorfish or any of its
subsidiaries and no collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated by
Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries. As of the date of this Agreement,
there is no labor dispute, strike or work stoppage against Razorfish or any
of its subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of Razorfish, threatened
which may interfere with the respective business activities of Razorfish or
any of its subsidiaries, except where such dispute, strike or work stoppage
individually or in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on Razorfish. As of the date of this Agreement, to
the
A-17
<PAGE>
knowledge of Razorfish, none of Razorfish, any of its subsidiaries or any
of their respective representatives or employees has committed any unfair
labor practice in connection with the operation of the respective business
of Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries, and there is no charge or
complaint against Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries by the National
Labor Relations Board or any comparable governmental agency pending or
threatened in writing, in each case except where such actions, charges or
complaints, individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to
have a material adverse effect on Razorfish.
(v) No employee of Razorfish will be entitled to any additional benefits
or any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any benefits under
any Razorfish Benefit Plan as a result of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. No amount payable, or economic benefit provided, by
Razorfish or its subsidiaries (including any acceleration of the time of
payment or vesting of any benefit) could be considered an "excess parachute
payment" under Section 280G of the Code. No person is entitled to receive
any Parachute Gross-Up Payment in the event that the excise tax of Section
4999 of the Code is imposed on such person. The Board of Directors of
Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries has not granted to any person any
right to receive any Parachute Gross-Up Payment.
(l) Taxes. (i) Each of Razorfish and its subsidiaries has timely filed all
tax returns required to be filed by it and all such tax returns are true,
complete and correct (or requests for extensions to file such tax returns have
been timely filed, granted and have not expired). Razorfish and each of its
subsidiaries has paid (or Razorfish has paid on its behalf) all taxes shown as
due on such tax returns or otherwise due or payable, and the most recent
financial statements contained in the Razorfish Filed SEC Documents reflect an
adequate reserve for all taxes payable by Razorfish and its subsidiaries for
all taxable periods and portions thereof accrued through the date of such
financial statements.
(ii) No deficiencies for any taxes have been proposed, asserted or
assessed against Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries that are not
adequately reserved for.
(iii) Neither Razorfish nor any of its subsidiaries has taken any action
or knows of any fact, agreement, plan or other circumstance that is
reasonably likely to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
(iv) The Razorfish Benefit Plans and other Razorfish employee
compensation arrangements in effect as of the date of this Agreement have
been designed so that the disallowance of a material deduction under
Section 162(m) of the Code for employee remuneration will not apply to any
amounts paid or payable by Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries under any
such plan or arrangement and, to the knowledge of Razorfish, no fact or
circumstance exists that is reasonably likely to cause such disallowance to
apply to any such amounts.
(v) Neither Razorfish nor any of its subsidiaries has executed any
waiver or extension of any statute of limitations on the assessment or
collection of any taxes or with respect to any liability arising therefrom.
Neither i-Cube nor any of its subsidiaries has any liability for the taxes
of any person pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury Regulations
promulgated under the Code or comparable provisions of any taxing authority
in respect of any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return. There are
no tax liens on any assets of Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries, other
than liens for current taxes not yet due and payable and liens for taxes
that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
(vi) No consent under Section 341(f) of the Code has been filed with
respect to Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries.
(vii) There are no tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements with
respect to or involving Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries. Razorfish and
each of its subsidiaries is in compliance with the terms and conditions of
any applicable tax exemptions, tax agreements or tax orders of any
government to which it may be subject or which it may have claimed, and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not have any adverse
effect on such compliance.

(m) Voting Requirements. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the total votes cast by holders of shares of Razorfish Common Stock at the
Razorfish Stockholders Meeting at which a quorum is present to adopt this
Agreement (the "Razorfish Stockholder Approval") is the only vote of the
holders of any class or series of Razorfish's capital stock necessary to
approve and adopt this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby.
(n) Accounting Matters. To the knowledge of Razorfish, neither Razorfish nor
any of its affiliates has taken or agreed to take any action that would prevent
the business combination to be effected by the Merger to be accounted for as a
pooling of interests.
(o) Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other
person, other than Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, the fees and
expenses of which will be paid by Razorfish, is entitled to any broker's,
finder's, financial advisor's or other similar fee or commission in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Razorfish Voting
Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Razorfish. Razorfish
has furnished to i-Cube true and complete copies of all agreements related to
the engagement of the persons to whom such fees are payable.
(p) Opinion of Financial Advisor. Razorfish has received the opinion of
Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, dated the date of this Agreement, to
the effect that, as of such date, the Exchange Ratio is fair to Razorfish from
a financial point of view, a signed copy of which opinion has been or will
promptly be delivered to i-Cube.
(q) Intellectual Property; Year 2000. (i) Razorfish and its subsidiaries
own, or are validly licensed or otherwise have the right to use, all
Intellectual Property Rights which are material to the conduct of the business
of Razorfish and its subsidiaries.
(ii) To the knowledge of Razorfish, neither Razorfish nor any of its
subsidiaries has interfered with, infringed upon, misappropriated or
otherwise come into conflict with any Intellectual Property Rights or other
proprietary information of any other person, except for any such
interference, infringement, misappropriation or other conflict which is
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on Razorfish. Neither Razorfish nor any of its subsidiaries
has received any written charge, complaint, claim, demand or notice
alleging any such interference, infringement, misappropriation or other
conflict (including any claim that Razorfish or any such subsidiary must
license or refrain from using any Intellectual Property Rights or other
proprietary information of any other person) which has not been settled or
otherwise fully resolved. To Razorfish's knowledge, no other person has
interfered with, infringed upon, misappropriated or otherwise come into
conflict with any Intellectual Property Rights of Razorfish or any of its
subsidiaries, except for any such interference, infringement,
misappropriation or other conflict which is not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on
Razorfish.
(iii) As the business of Razorfish and its subsidiaries is presently
conducted and without giving effect to any changes with respect thereto
that may be made by Razorfish, to Razorfish's knowledge, Razorfish's use of
the Intellectual Property Rights which are material to the conduct of the
business of Razorfish and its subsidiaries taken as a whole will not
interfere with, infringe upon, misappropriate or otherwise come into
conflict with the Intellectual Property Rights of any other person.
(iv) Razorfish has implemented a program directed at ensuring that its
and its subsidiaries' products (including prior and current products and
technology and products and technology currently under development) will,
when used in accordance with associated documentation on a specified
platform or platforms, be capable upon installation of (i) operating in the
same manner on dates in both the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries and
(ii) accurately processing, providing and receiving date data from, into
and between the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries, including the years
1999 and 2000, and making leap-year calculations, provided that all non-
Razorfish products (e.g., hardware, software and firmware) material to the
conduct of the business of Razorfish and used in or in combination with
Razorfish's
A-19
<PAGE>
products, exchange data with Razorfish's products in the same manner on
dates in both the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries. Razorfish has taken
the steps as set forth in Section 3.02(q) of the Razorfish Disclosure
Schedule to assure that the year 2000 date change will not adversely affect
the systems and facilities that support the operations of Razorfish and its
subsidiaries, except as is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on Razorfish.
(r) Certain Contracts. Neither Razorfish nor any of its subsidiaries is a
party to or bound by any non-competition agreement or any other similar
agreement or obligation which purports to limit in any material respect the
manner in which, or the localities in which, all or any material portion of the
business of Razorfish and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is conducted.
(s) Interim Operations of Sub. Sub was formed solely for the purpose of
engaging in the transactions contemplated hereby, has engaged in no other
business activities and has conducted its operations only as contemplated
hereby.
(t) Customers. Except as listed on Schedule 3.01(t), Razorfish has no
knowledge of any loss or threatened loss of any of the ten largest customers of
Razorfish or any of its subsidiaries for the six month period ended June 30,
1999. Schedule 3.02(t) lists each of the ten largest customers of Razorfish and
its subsidiaries (in terms of amounts paid or billed, as applicable) for the
six month period ended June 30, 1999.

A-22
<PAGE>
(c) Other Actions. Except as required by law, i-Cube and Razorfish shall
not, and shall not permit any of their respective subsidiaries to, voluntarily
take any action that would, or that could reasonably be expected to, result in
(i) any of the representations and warranties of such party set forth in this
Agreement that are qualified as to materiality becoming untrue at the Effective
Time, (ii) any of such representations and warranties that are not so qualified
becoming untrue in any material respect at the Effective Time, or (iii) any of
the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VI not being satisfied.
(d) Advice of Changes. i-Cube and Razorfish shall promptly advise the other
party orally and in writing to the extent it has knowledge of (i) any
representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becoming
untrue or inaccurate in any respect where the failure of such representation to
be so true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation as to
"materiality" or "material adverse effect" set forth therein), individually or
in the aggregate, has had or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on it, (ii) the failure by it to comply in any material respect with or
satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be
complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement and (iii) any change or
event having, or which is reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect
on such party or on the truth of their respective representations and
warranties or the ability of the conditions set forth in Article VI to be
satisfied; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties (or
remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the
parties under this Agreement.
Section 4.02. No Solicitation by i-Cube. (a) i-Cube shall not, nor shall it
permit any of its subsidiaries to, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its
directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor,
attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its
subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly through another person, (i) solicit,
initiate or encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or take any
other action designed to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any
proposal which constitutes an i-Cube Takeover Proposal (as defined below) or
(ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any i-Cube
Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the date of
the i-Cube Stockholders Meeting (the "i-Cube Applicable Period"), the Board of
Directors of i-Cube determines in good faith, after consultation with outside
counsel, that it is legally advisable to do so in order to comply with its
fiduciary duties to i-Cube's stockholders under applicable law, i-Cube may, in
response to an i-Cube Superior Proposal (as defined in Section 4.02(b)) which
was not solicited by it or which did not otherwise result from a breach of this
Section 4.02(a), and subject to providing prior written notice of its decision
to take such action to Razorfish (a "Section 4.02 Notice") and compliance with
Section 4.02(c), (x) furnish information with respect to i-Cube and its
subsidiaries to any person making an i-Cube Superior Proposal pursuant to a
customary confidentiality agreement (as determined by i-Cube after consultation
with its outside counsel) and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations
regarding such i-Cube Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, "i-
Cube Takeover Proposal" means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person
relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of a business that
constitutes 15% or more of the net revenues, net income or the assets of i-Cube
and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or 15% or more of any class of equity
securities of i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries, any tender offer or exchange
offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 15% or
more of any class of equity securities of i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries, or
any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation,
dissolution or similar transaction involving i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries,
other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 4.02, neither the Board of
Directors of i-Cube nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or modify, or
propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Razorfish, the
approval or recommendation by such Board of Directors or such committee of the
Merger or this Agreement, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to
approve or recommend, any i-Cube Takeover Proposal, or (iii) cause i-Cube to
enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement
or other similar agreement (each, a "i-Cube Acquisition Agreement") related to
any i-Cube Takeover Proposal, other than any such agreement entered into
concurrently with a termination pursuant to the next sentence in order to
facilitate such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the i-Cube
A-23
<PAGE>
Applicable Period, in response to an i-Cube Superior Proposal which was not
solicited by i-Cube and which did not otherwise result from a breach of Section
4.02(a), the Board of Directors of i-Cube may (subject to this and the
following sentences) terminate this Agreement (and concurrently with or after
such termination, if it so chooses, cause i-Cube to enter into any i-Cube
Acquisition Agreement with respect to any i-Cube Superior Proposal), but only
at a time that is during the i-Cube Applicable Period and is after the fifth
business day following Razorfish's receipt of written notice advising Razorfish
that the Board of Directors of i-Cube is prepared to accept an i-Cube Superior
Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such i-Cube Superior
Proposal and identifying the person making such i-Cube Superior Proposal. For
purposes of this Agreement, a "i-Cube Superior Proposal" means any proposal
made by a third party to acquire, directly or indirectly, including pursuant to
a tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation, business combination,
recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction, for
consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, more than 50% of the
combined voting power of the shares of i-Cube Common Stock then outstanding or
all or substantially all the assets of i-Cube and otherwise on terms which the
Board of Directors of i-Cube determines in its good faith judgment (based on
the advice of a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) to be
more favorable to i-Cube's stockholders than the Merger and for which
financing, to the extent required, is then committed or which, in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of i-Cube, is reasonably capable of
being obtained by such third party.
(c) In addition to the obligations of i-Cube set forth in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Section 4.02, i-Cube shall immediately advise Razorfish orally and
in writing of any request for information or of any i-Cube Takeover Proposal,
the material terms and conditions of such request or i-Cube Takeover Proposal
and the identity of the person making such request or i-Cube Takeover Proposal.
i-Cube will keep Razorfish informed of the status and details (including
amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request or i-Cube Takeover
Proposal.
(d) Nothing contained in this Section 4.02 shall prohibit i-Cube from taking
and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a)
promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to i-Cube's
stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of i-
Cube, after consultation with outside counsel, failure so to disclose would be
inconsistent with its obligations under applicable law; provided, however, that
neither i-Cube nor its Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall
withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, its position
with respect to this Agreement or the Merger or approve or recommend, or
propose publicly to approve or recommend, an i-Cube Takeover Proposal.
Section 4.03. Standstill Agreements; Confidentiality Agreements. During the
period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, neither i-
Cube nor Razorfish shall terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any
confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or any of its respective
subsidiaries is a party. During such period, i-Cube or Razorfish, as the case
may be, shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law,
the provisions of any such agreement, including by obtaining injunctions to
prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms
and provisions thereof in any court of the United States of America or of any
state having jurisdiction.

Stockholders Meetings. (a) As soon as practicable following the date of this
Agreement, i-Cube and Razorfish shall prepare and file with the SEC the Joint
Proxy Statement and Razorfish shall prepare and file with the SEC the Form S-4,

Cube and Razorfish shall use reasonable efforts to have the Form S-4 declared
effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such
filing. i-Cube will use all reasonable efforts to cause the Joint Proxy
Statement to be mailed to i-Cube's stockholders as promptly as practicable
after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities
A-24
<PAGE>
Act. Razorfish will use all reasonable efforts to cause the Joint Proxy
Statement to be mailed to Razorfish's stockholders as promptly as practicable
after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. Razorfish
shall also take any action (other than qualifying to do business in any
jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or to file a general consent
to service of process) required to be taken under any applicable state
securities laws in connection with the issuance of Razorfish Common Stock in
the Merger and i-Cube shall furnish all information concerning i-Cube and the
holders of i-Cube Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection
with any such action. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Form S-4
will be made by Razorfish, or the Joint Proxy Statement will be made by either
Razorfish or i-Cube, without providing the other party the opportunity to
review and comment thereon. Razorfish will advise i-Cube, promptly after it
receives notice thereof, of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective or
any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the
suspension of the qualification of the Razorfish Common Stock issuable in
connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any
request by the SEC for amendment of the Form S-4 or comments thereon and
responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information. If at any
time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to i-Cube or
Razorfish, or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors, should
be discovered by i-Cube or Razorfish which should be set forth in an amendment
or supplement to any of the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement, so that any
of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party
which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto
and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be
promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated to
the stockholders of i-Cube and Razorfish.
(b) i-Cube shall, as soon as practicable following the date of this
Agreement, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its
stockholders (the "i-Cube Stockholders Meeting") for the purpose of obtaining
the i-Cube Stockholder Approval and shall, through its Board of Directors,
recommend to its stockholders the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing but subject to its rights to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 4.02(b), i-Cube agrees that its obligations
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.01(b) shall not be affected by
the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to i-Cube
of any i-Cube Takeover Proposal.

Agreement, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its

Directors, recommend to its stockholders the approval and adoption of this
Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof.

reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Razorfish two letters from i-
Cube's independent accountants, one dated a date within two business days
before the date on which the Form S-4 shall become effective and one dated a
date within two business days before the Closing Date, each addressed to

similar to the Form S-4.
(b) i-Cube shall provide reasonable cooperation to each of Razorfish's

efforts to cause them to do so.
Section 5.04. Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to the
Nondisclosure Agreement dated, May 28, 1999 between Razorfish and i-Cube (the
"Confidentiality Agreement"), each of Razorfish and i-Cube shall, and shall
cause each of its respective subsidiaries to, afford to the other party and to
the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other
representatives of such other party, reasonable access during normal business
hours during the period prior to the Effective Time to all their respective
properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during
such period, each of i-Cube and Razorfish shall, and shall cause each of its
respective subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to the other party (a) a copy of
each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it
during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities
laws and (b) all other information concerning its business, properties and
personnel as such other party may reasonably request. Neither Razorfish nor i-
Cube shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where such
access or disclosure would contravene any law, rule, regulation, order or
decree. No review pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall have an effect for the
purpose of determining the accuracy of any representation or warranty given by
either party hereto to the other party hereto. Each of i-Cube and Razorfish
will hold, and will cause its respective officers, employees, accountants,
counsel, financial advisors and other representatives and affiliates to hold,
any nonpublic information in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality
Agreement.
Section 5.05. Commercially Reasonable Best Efforts. (a) Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties
agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be
taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate
with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to
consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i)
the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and
approvals from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary
registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to
obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any
Governmental Entity, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or
waivers from third parties, (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal
proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or

other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed, and (iv) the execution and
delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions
contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.
(b) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, i-Cube and
Razorfish shall (i) take all action necessary to ensure that no state takeover
statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to the
Merger, this Agreement, or any of the other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and (ii) if any state
A-26
<PAGE>
takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to the
Merger, this Agreement, or any other transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, take all action necessary to ensure that the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as
practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to
minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 5.06. Stock Options. (a) As soon as practicable following the date
of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of i-Cube (or, if appropriate, any
committee administering the i-Cube Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or
take such other actions as may be required to effect the following:
(i) adjust the terms of all outstanding i-Cube Stock Options granted
under i-Cube Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, as necessary to
provide that, at the Effective Time, each i-Cube Stock Option outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and converted into
an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable
under such i-Cube Stock Option (as modified by the terms of an agreement
(referred to in Section 3.01(k) of the i-Cube Disclosure Schedule) in
effect on the date hereof between i-Cube and the holder of such i-Cube
Stock Option as disclosed to Razorfish prior to the date hereof), the same
number of shares of Razorfish Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest
whole share) as the holder of such i-Cube Stock Option would have been
entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such
i-Cube Stock Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a
price per share of Razorfish Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole
cent) equal to (A) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of i-Cube
Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such i-Cube Stock Option
divided by (B) the aggregate number of shares of Razorfish Common Stock
deemed purchasable pursuant to such i-Cube Stock Option (each, as so
adjusted, an "Adjusted Option"); and
(ii) make such other changes to the i-Cube Stock Plans as i-Cube and
Razorfish may agree are appropriate to give effect to the Merger, including
as provided in Section 5.07.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Razorfish shall deliver
to the holders of i-Cube Stock Options appropriate notices setting forth such
holders' rights pursuant to the respective i-Cube Stock Plans and the
agreements evidencing the grants of such i-Cube Stock Options and that such i-
Cube Stock Options and agreements shall be assumed by Razorfish and shall
continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments
required by this Section 5.06 after giving effect to the Merger).
(c) A holder of an Adjusted Option may exercise such Adjusted Option in
whole or in part in accordance with its terms by delivering a properly executed
notice of exercise to Razorfish, together with the consideration therefor and
the federal withholding tax information, if any, required in accordance with
the related i-Cube Stock Plan.
(d) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Section 5.06 and except to the
extent required under the respective terms of the i-Cube Stock Options or any
agreement (referred to in Section 3.01(j) of the i-Cube Disclosure Schedule) in
effect on the date hereof between i-Cube and a holder of i-Cube Stock Options
(as disclosed to Razorfish prior to the date hereof), all restrictions or
limitations on transfer and vesting with respect to i-Cube Stock Options
awarded under the i-Cube Stock Plans or any other plan, program or arrangement
of i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries, to the extent that such restrictions or
limitations shall not have already lapsed, shall remain in full force and
effect with respect to such options after giving effect to the Merger and the
assumption by Razorfish as set forth above.
Section 5.07. i-Cube Stock Plans. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger, the i-Cube Stock Plans shall be assumed by Razorfish, with the result
that all obligations of i-Cube under the i-Cube Stock Plans, including with
respect to awards outstanding at the Effective Time under each i-Cube Stock
Plan, shall be obligations of Razorfish following the Effective Time. Prior to
the Effective Time, Razorfish shall take all necessary actions (including, if
required to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code (and the regulations
thereunder) or applicable law or rule of the Nasdaq, obtaining the approval of
its stockholders at the next
A-27
<PAGE>
regularly scheduled annual meeting of Razorfish following the Effective Time)
for the assumption of the i-Cube Stock Plans, including the reservation,
issuance and listing of Razorfish Common Stock in a number at least equal to
the number of shares of Razorfish Common Stock that will be subject to Adjusted
Options. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, Razorfish shall
prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or another
appropriate form) registering a number of shares of Razorfish Common Stock
determined in accordance with the preceding sentence. Such registration
statement shall be kept effective (and the current status of the prospectus or
prospectuses required thereby shall be maintained) at least for so long as
Adjusted Options or any unsettled awards granted under the i-Cube Stock Plans
after the Effective Time remain outstanding.
Section 5.08. Employee Benefit Plans; Existing Agreements. (a) On a date
that shall be no later than the first anniversary of the Effective Time (the
"Benefits Date"), Razorfish shall provide, or cause to be provided, employee
benefit plans, programs and arrangements to employees of i-Cube that are no
less favorable in the aggregate than those made generally available to non-
represented employees of Razorfish who are hired by Razorfish after December
31, 1998. From the Effective Time to the Benefits Date (which the parties
acknowledge may occur on different dates with respect to different plans,
programs or arrangements of i-Cube) (the "Continuation Period"), Razorfish
shall provide, or cause to be provided, the employee benefit plans, programs
and arrangements of i-Cube provided to employees of i-Cube as of the date
hereof; provided that during the Continuation Period, employees of i-Cube shall
be eligible for grants of stock options under Razorfish's stock option plans to
the same extent as similarly situated employees of Razorfish.
(b) With respect to each benefit plan, program practice, policy or
arrangement maintained by Razorfish in which employees of i-Cube subsequently
participate (the "Razorfish Plans"), for purposes of determining eligibility to
participate, vesting, and entitlement to benefits, including for severance
benefits and vacation entitlement (but not for accrual of pension benefits),
service with i-Cube (or predecessor employers to the extent i-Cube provides
past service credit) shall be treated as service with Razorfish; provided,
however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such
recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Such service also shall
apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability
requirements, or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations.
Each Razorfish Plan shall waive pre-existing condition limitations to the same
extent waived under the applicable i-Cube Benefit Plan.
Section 5.09. Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance. (a) Razorfish
agrees that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for
acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in
favor of the current or former directors or officers of i-Cube and its
subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or
by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) and any indemnification
agreements of i-Cube, the existence of which does not constitute a breach of
this Agreement, shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger,
without further action, as of the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger
and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and
Razorfish shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor all such rights.
(b) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or
assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the
continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger
or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and
assets to any person, then, and in each such case, Razorfish shall cause proper
provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving
Corporation assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.09.
(c) For six years after the Effective Time, Razorfish shall maintain in
effect i-Cube's current directors' and officers' liability insurance covering
acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time with respect to those
persons who are currently covered by i-Cube's directors' and officers'
liability insurance policy on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no
less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided
that Razorfish may substitute therefor policies of Razorfish or its
subsidiaries; provided further, that if the existing or substituted directors'
and officers' liability insurance expires, is terminated or canceled during
such six-year period, Razorfish will obtain as much directors' and officers'
liability insurance
A-28
<PAGE>
as can be obtained for the remainder of such period for a premium not in excess
of 150% of the aggregate premiums paid by i-Cube in 1998 on an annualized basis
for such purpose and that in no event shall Razorfish be required to pay
aggregate premiums for insurance under this Section 5.09(c) in excess of 150%
of amount of aggregate premiums paid by i-Cube in 1998 on an annualized basis
for such purpose.
(d) The provisions of this Section 5.09 (i) are intended to be for the
benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified party, his or her
heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) are in addition to, and not in
substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any
such person may have by contract or otherwise.
Section 5.10. Fees and Expenses. (a) Except as provided in this Section
5.10, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, this
Agreement, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by
the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is
consummated, except that each of Razorfish and i-Cube shall bear and pay one-
half of (1) the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the filing,
printing and mailing of the Form S-4 and the Joint Proxy Statement (including
SEC filing fees) and (2) the filing fees for the premerger notification and
report forms under the HSR Act.
(b) In the event that (1) a bona fide i-Cube Takeover Proposal shall have
been made directly to the stockholders of i-Cube generally or shall have
otherwise become publicly known or any person shall have publicly announced an
intention (whether or not conditional) to make an i-Cube Takeover Proposal and
thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Razorfish or i-Cube pursuant
to Section 7.01(b)(i) or (ii) or (2) this Agreement is terminated (x) by i-Cube
pursuant to Section 7.01(f) or (y) by Razorfish pursuant to Section 7.01(d),
then i-Cube shall promptly, but in no event later than the date of such
termination, pay Razorfish a fee equal to $23.5 million (the "i-Cube
Termination Fee"), payable by wire transfer of same day funds; provided,
however, that no i-Cube Termination Fee shall be payable to Razorfish pursuant
to clause (1) of this paragraph (b) or pursuant to a termination by Razorfish
pursuant to Section 7.01(d) unless and until within 12 months of such
termination i-Cube or any of its subsidiaries enters into any definitive
agreement with respect to, or consummates, any i-Cube Takeover Proposal made
during the term of this Agreement (for the purposes of the foregoing proviso
the term "i-Cube Takeover Proposal" shall have the meaning assigned to such
term in Section 4.02 except that the references to "15%" in the definition of
"i-Cube Takeover Proposal" in Section 4.02(a) shall be deemed to be references
to "50%" and "i-Cube Takeover Proposal" shall only be deemed to refer to a
transaction involving i-Cube, or with respect to assets (including the shares
of any subsidiary), i-Cube and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and not any
of its subsidiaries alone), in which event the i-Cube Termination Fee shall be
payable upon the first to occur of such events. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if an i-Cube Takeover Proposal shall have been made as described in clause (1)
of this paragraph (b) and shall thereafter have been publicly unconditionally
withdrawn by the maker thereof prior to the event giving rise to the
termination of this Agreement referred to in clause (1) of this paragraph (b),
no i-Cube Termination Fee shall be payable by i-Cube to Razorfish unless i-Cube
or any of its subsidiaries enters into any definitive agreement with respect
to, or consummates, any i-Cube Takeover Proposal with the same maker or any of
its affiliates within the period of time set forth in the proviso to the
immediately preceding sentence. i-Cube acknowledges that the agreements
contained in this Section 5.10(b) are an integral part of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Razorfish
would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if i-Cube fails promptly to
pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 5.10(b), and, in order to obtain
such payment, Razorfish commences a suit which results in a judgment against i-
Cube for the fee set forth in this Section 5.10(b), i-Cube shall pay to
Razorfish its costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) in
connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at
the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was
required to be made.
Section 5.11. Public Announcements. Razorfish and i-Cube will consult with
each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review,
comment upon and concur with, any press release or other public statements with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the
Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public
statement prior to such consultation, except as either party may determine is
required by applicable law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any
A-29
<PAGE>
listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national trading
system. The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form
heretofore agreed to by the parties.
Section 5.12. Affiliates. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, i-
Cube shall deliver to Razorfish a letter identifying all persons who are, at
the time this Agreement is submitted for adoption by the stockholders of i-
Cube, "affiliates" of i-Cube for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act
or for purposes of qualifying the Merger for pooling of interests accounting
treatment under Opinion 16 of the Accounting Principles Board and applicable
SEC rules and regulations. i-Cube shall use reasonable efforts to cause each
such person to deliver to Razorfish as of the Closing Date, a written agreement
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto.
Section 5.13. Nasdaq Quotation. Razorfish shall use reasonable efforts to
cause the Razorfish Common Stock issuable in the Merger to be approved for
quotation on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, as promptly as
practicable after the date hereof, and in any event prior to the Closing Date.
Section 5.14. Stockholder Litigation. Each of i-Cube and Razorfish shall
give the other the opportunity to participate in the defense of any stockholder
litigation against i-Cube or Razorfish as applicable and/or its directors
relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Voting
Agreements.
Section 5.15. Tax Treatment. Each of Razorfish and i-Cube shall use
reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under the
provisions of Section 368 of the Code, and i-Cube shall obtain the opinion of
counsel referred to in Sections 6.03(c).
Section 5.16. Pooling of Interests. Each of i-Cube and Razorfish shall use
reasonable efforts to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including the Merger and the Voting Agreement, to be accounted for as a pooling
of interests under Opinion 16 of the Accounting Principles Board and applicable
SEC rules and regulations, and Razorfish's and i-Cube's managements' conclusion
that such accounting treatment is appropriate for the Merger to be concurred
with by each of i-Cube's and Razorfish's auditors and by the SEC, respectively,
and each of i-Cube and Razorfish agrees that it shall voluntarily take no
action that would cause such accounting treatment not to be obtained.
Section 5.17. Resignation of i-Cube Board of Directors. i-Cube shall obtain
written letters of resignation from each of the current members of the i-Cube
Board of Directors, in each case effective immediately after the Effective
Time.
Section 5.18. Action by i-Cube and Razorfish. Prior to the Effective Time,
the Board of Directors of Razorfish and the Board of Directors of i-Cube shall
each comply with the provisions of the SEC's no-action letter dated January 12,
1999 addressed to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom LLP relating to Rule
16b.
Section 5.19. Board of Directors. On the Closing Date, the Board of
Directors of Razorfish shall consist of the following nine directors: Jeffrey
A. Dachis, Craig M. Kanarick, Per Bystedt, Jonas Svensson, Carter Bales, John
Wren, or if Mr. Wren is unable to serve, another executive officer of Omnicom
Group, Inc. reasonably acceptable to the CEO of Razorfish, Michael Pehl, Larry
Begley and one outside director designated by i-Cube.
Section 5.20. Chief Financial Officer. On or prior to the Closing Date,
Larry Begley shall be appointed Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief
Financial Officer of Razorfish.
Section 5.21. i-Cube Employee Bonuses. In the event that the Closing Date
occurs prior to December 31, 1999, i-Cube employee eligible to receive a bonus
for the 1999 calendar year pursuant to the terms and conditions of the i-Cube
bonus plan in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (the "i-Cube Bonus
Plan") shall be eligible to receive such bonus pursuant to the i-Cube Bonus
Plan as administered by the Chief Executive Officer of Razorfish in
consultation with the Chief Executive Officer of i-Cube. i-Cube shall make all
revisions to the i-Cube Bonus Plan necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

A-32
