(1)  The number of shares of the Registrant's common stock, par value $.01 per
     share (the "Common Stock"), stated above consists of the aggregate number
     of additional shares not previously registered which may be sold upon the
     exercise of options which have been granted or may hereafter be granted
     under the Engage, Inc. 1995 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The maximum
     number of shares which may be sold upon the exercise of outstanding options
     under the Plan is subject to adjustment in accordance with certain
     anti-dilution and other provisions of the Plan. Accordingly, pursuant to
     Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
     Act"), this Registration Statement covers, in addition to the number of
     shares stated above, an indeterminate number of shares which may be subject
     to grant or otherwise issuable after the operation of any such
     anti-dilution and other provisions.

(2)  This calculation is made solely for the purpose of determining the
     registration fee pursuant to the provisions of Rule 457(h) under the
     Securities Act as follows: (i) in the case of shares of Common Stock which
     may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding options, the fee is
     calculated on the basis of the price at which the options may be exercised;
     and (ii) in the case of shares of Common Stock for which options have not
     yet been granted and the option price of which is therefore unknown, the
     fee is calculated on the basis of the average of the high and low sale
     prices per share of the Common Stock on the National Market System of the
     National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
     (NASDAQ) as of a date (January 10, 2001) within 5 business days prior to
     filing this Registration Statement.

          (b)  All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
               Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the

     All reports and documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to

reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of
this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or
in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Incorporated herein by reference from the Registrant's Registration
Statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-78015.

ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.

     The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated herein

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

     1. The Registrant hereby undertakes:

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

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

               (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
          after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most
          recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
          aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
          in the Registration Statement; and

               (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
          plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
          Statement or any material change to such information in the
          Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

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

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

     2. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report



                                      II-2

<PAGE>   5


pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

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